Chapter 15 Grandma Shu
Hiring the Shu family is also playing the edge of the law of this world, after all, the Shu family is guilty, Sun Siyuan is also afraid, but seeing that the brothers of the Shu family have worked hard for years but barely eaten, there is still a little pity in my heart.
Zhao Youqian didn't know much about this matter, but Sun Siyuan spent a lot of energy for the chick, he saw it in his eyes, he felt sorry for his mother, and agreed without asking anything.
Sun Siyuan didn't come forward in this matter, and asked Aunt Gu to help go to Gu's house to say, take care of the chickens, now it is one tael of silver a month, and after two months, it will increase to three taels of silver a month, and the work of the chicken coop is all inclusive, except for the chicken plague and the like, Sun Siyuan thinks that he is unlucky, and the other family members are responsible.
The silver is not small, but the conditions are also much harsher, after all, if the chicken is stolen or something, the Shu family is also responsible, but the boss of the Shu family didn't even think about agreeing. Their brother worked hard all year round, but he couldn't save a few pennies, and others could go up the mountain to hunt to subsidize the family, but his family was not even allowed to go up the mountain because of the "crime of negligence".
There is no money in the village, after all, every family works in the fields, most of them help each other, and there is very little money to pay for people. His three brothers all worked as coolies in the town in their spare time, enough for their father to boil some medicine. A few days ago, his second brother also earned some hard-earned money in Zhao Youqian's family, and he knew the situation of Zhao Youqian's family.
Grandma Shu is over 70 years old, although she doesn't have to do the work in the field, but after so many years of hard work, she has long been a candle in the wind, she knew that Sun Siyuan hired her own price, and specially ran to thank Sun Siyuan.
Sun Siyuan looked at the white-haired old man and remembered that Aunt Gu had said that the old man once wanted to save his own expenses and hanged himself, just so that his grandson could save some money to marry his daughter-in-law. How much can an old man spend, a pity for the old man's heart!
The Shu family is not allowed to study, so the Shu brothers are illiterate, Sun Siyuan and Grandma Shu proposed to go to the village chief's house together to ask the village chief to write a deed.
Grandma Shu responded, but when she arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief respectfully grinded and asked Grandma Shu to do it, and Grandma Shu was not hypocritical, and wrote down the contract that Sun Siyuan said in three or two. Sun Siyuan didn't know the words of this world, but she could see that Grandma Shu's writing was much better than the village chief's.
Seeing Sun Siyuan's expression, the village chief couldn't help laughing and said: "Rich lady, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the few words I learned were still taught to me by my mother, but unfortunately, I can't repay her old man." ”
Grandma Shu didn't care, "The king's will, what can you do with a small village head, I teach you to read, and I don't try to plot anything against you, you teach the village doll to read, and it won't be in vain for me to work hard." Between the words, I couldn't see the figure of the old woman who hanged herself who was forced by life.
Sun Siyuan couldn't help but guess that Grandma Shu was probably also a young lady back then, after all, even now, there are only a few women who can read and hyphenation. Moreover, Grandma Shu's attitude towards the king is not the sincere fear of ordinary people, but Sun Siyuan has no intention of guessing about what happened decades ago, but there is another thing that makes Sun Siyuan more concerned.
"Grandma Shu, I didn't expect you to be literate, Siyuan really admires it, my family and I are rich, I don't know a single big word, I have a reluctant request, I hope you agree!"
Grandma Shu looked at Sun Siyuan and smiled, "Is a rich lady literate?" You helped my family, my wife has nothing to do, but I don't know how long this crippled life can live, I'm afraid I can't teach much things. ”
The matter of hiring the Shu family was decided, and Grandma Shu was willing to teach Sun Siyuan and Zhao Youqian to read and write, but he was not allowed to apprentice. Sun Siyuan was not reluctant, only bought four catties of pork, took four catties of green corn noodles, wheat noodles, and white rice, and asked Zhao Youqian to carry a basket of special vegetables grown in his yard, and the two of them sent it to the Shu family together, and Grandma Shu didn't say anything, so she accepted it.
The Shu family went to the chicken coop the next day, and there were many rooms built on the chicken coop, so the Shu family simply chose one to clean up and live there, and Sun Siyuan naturally would not object.
The three brothers of the Shu family will not be too hard if they take turns to keep vigil in the chicken coop. The three brothers are also real, turning over the wasteland that is not easy to grow grass and vegetables, picking up some water to water, and sprinkling the vegetable seeds left by Sun Siyuan on it.
The Zhu family made a small amount of money by weaving bamboo mats, and sure enough, they bought meat and gave it to Sun Siyuan, but Sun Siyuan did not shirk and accepted it.
Gu Abao, the youngest son of Aunt Gu, often comes to Sun Siyuan's house to play, and when he saw the Zhu family sending meat, he knew why, so he followed behind Sun Siyuan, "Sister Siyuan, can you think of a way to make money for me, I will buy you meat to eat when I earn money!" Sun Siyuan couldn't help but feel funny.
Grandma Shu didn't wait for Sun Siyuan to pick it up, so she went to Sun Siyuan's house by herself, Sun Siyuan hurriedly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Grandma Shu didn't have a book, and she didn't prepare, so she could only let Grandma Shu play freely.
Zhao Youqian and Sun Siyuan studied together, but they were more attentive than before, especially Sun Siyuan's slow learning, Zhao Youqian could go back to teach her, Sun Siyuan always felt that Zhao Youqian had pride in his eyes at that time.
Although Zhao Youqian has not done heavy work these days, his exercise has not been interrupted for a while, and he has also groped for those kung fu books to practice, and Sun Siyuan wants to laugh when he sees him squatting.
Usually Sun Siyuan is too lazy to buy meat, and eats fruits and vegetables that grow in the yard, Zhao Youqian doesn't like vegetarian dishes, but Sun Siyuan never objected to serving it on the table, he didn't care about the money, he just thought that the family was tight, and silently swore in his heart that he would earn more money in the future and buy enough meat, so that Sun Siyuan could eat it if he wanted.
However, all of this is very effective, Zhao Youqian has lost a lot of weight, his face is the most obvious, his flesh is much firmer, it is estimated that he is only two hundred and sixty pounds now, and his face is not at all as black as a few months ago, and has become much fairer.
Sun Siyuan looked at Zhao Youqian, thinking that it was true that people said that "one white covers a hundred ugliness", now looking at Zhao Youqian, it is much more pleasing to the eye than the first time, a few days ago, I couldn't see it when I buried my head in the ground every day, and compared with the people in the village during this time, I was almost a "little white face".
Sun Siyuan herself has grown a little taller, now she looks about 1.63 meters, as tall as Aunt Gu, Sun Siyuan is very happy, because the nutrition keeps up, and she is not tired of hard work, she can continue to grow taller. Aunt Gu also praised her for looking much better.
Grandma Shu didn't want to live in Sun Siyuan's house, so Sun Siyuan went to pick her up every morning after dinner, left Grandma Shu to eat at noon, and then sent Grandma Shu back before dinner, and picked some vegetables by the way to bring them over, all of which were not vegetables in the small vegetable garden of the Shu family.
Sun Siyuan saw that her wasteland was already overgrown with side dishes, and decided to add some more chicks. However, the chickens grow fast, especially the 200 or so castrated roosters, which grow the fastest, and you have to find a buyer in advance.
