Chapter 148: Inaugurated
With so many people in the village starting construction at the same time, it was faster than the original plan, and five brick kilns were built in 20 days.
"Thank you for your hard work, I haven't rested these days!" Looking at the row of brick kilns in front of him, plus the original one, there were six in total, and Li Qingshan was very grateful that everyone was not lazy and worked wholeheartedly.
"We didn't do it in vain, you don't have to be so polite!" Li Li patted the dirt on his body and said loudly.
"That's it, uncle, we're here to have a good year!" Li Shucai said happily that following the Li family this year, he also earned twenty or thirty taels of silver. Don't look at it as much as the Li family, but in his eyes it is a huge fortune, and it is not in vain that his father gave him this name, he is really rich this year.
"Haha, let's have a good year together!" Li Qingshan touched his beard and said with a smile.
The time of the year really flies quickly, especially when it is busy, and time slips away from my hands unconsciously.
Looking at the smiling faces in front of him, compared to the sad face when he first came, Li Hui felt that this was the real life, even if there were no high-ranking officials, thousands of acres of fertile land, and no family property, but food and clothing were worry-free, and it was a kind of happiness to be plain.
"I know that the big guys are not lazy, they are all the same as working at home, so our brick kiln can be built so quickly, I thank you all here! It's getting late today, let's pay tomorrow! You can come to my house early tomorrow morning to get it, don't worry. We won't let everyone suffer! "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm done today, and it's getting late. There will be a cold wind blowing, and he feels a lot colder, so Li Qingshan decided to pay his salary tomorrow, he knows that this is the most concerned issue for everyone.
"Okay! Then we'll see you tomorrow! A stout man said in a rough voice, and then picked up the shovel and took the lead in leaving. He is big and has a lot of strength, and all he does these days is hard work. No, I just want to rest early.
"Then let's disperse first! I'll be waiting for you all at home tomorrow! Li Qingshan told the villagers to hurry home and rest, don't get tired.
"Grandpa, Daddy. Come and sit down and rest! Li Hui and Li Xiu went home first to prepare. The women did not go to help build the brick kiln this time, and took care of the logistics.
Cook for the working men, and by the way, continue to make cotton clothes in their hands, now no one in the family has a new set of cotton clothes, they make a second set, and after preparing it as a new clothes for the New Year.
The two sisters, Li Hui and Li Xiu, really don't look like the ancients, Li Hui won't talk about it, they have lived for more than 20 years in modern times. Needlework is limited to being able to fill holes, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad. Li Xiu, a girl who has been influenced by traditional thinking since she was a child, is not as good as Li Hui, and she can't even pick up a needle.
The number of stitches is not as many as the needle eye in the hand, so both of them gave up, as for Hu and Li, they are powerless to say anything about them, and they have no idea of teaching them two at all.
So the two of them are the most idle in the family!
"Let's go dinner!" Eight or nine-year-old girls already know everything, plus the usual exercise, now the two of them can almost finish the family's meals, of course, steamed buns and the like have to be Hu and a few people.
"Hey, good!" Li Qingshan and Li Anfu enjoyed the care of the juniors, not to mention how happy they were.
The juniors in the family are just these two girls, and they are very caring, so there is no one in the Li family who doesn't like them.
"Boss, I haven't stopped this year, starting tomorrow, there will be no work, and the weather is cold, you can watch the arrangements by yourself, it's okay to go out for a walk as a family, and it's okay to go to relatives!" Li Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally take a breath all year round.
"Good!" Not to mention, I didn't go out a few times a year, of course, except for talking about business, everyone was so busy that they didn't have time to go to relatives, Li's maiden family was a village, and I didn't usually go much, why. Busy making money, Li Anfu also felt that it was time to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Soon, Li Hui and Li Xiu brought the meal!
"Everyone, our brick kiln has been built, and you have worked hard!" Li Qingshan said to the Hu family, and several daughters-in-law also worked day and night.
"Dad, we are all a family, why are you so polite?" Hu smiled, this was what should have been done, after marrying into the Li family for so many years, although life was hard, she did not suffer any grievances, and she was content.
"Old woman, how much silver do we have now?" Without being polite to the Hu family again, Li Qingshan turned his head and asked Niu.
"There are more than seven hundred taels! The whole is seven hundred taels, and the zero ones are not counted! Niu's reported the family's accounts, which is the habit of the Li family all along, so that everyone knows it.
"After eating for a while, you give them fifty taels for their family, free disposal, forty or thirty taels for the elderly, and the rest are still kept in the public office, do you have any opinions?" Li Qingshan and the Niu family never let go of the silver, and each time the money would be distributed to their sons, and the rest would be used for emergencies.
"No comments!" Everyone replied in unison that they don't need to worry too much about their own people, and they don't lack that little bit of silver.
"Okay, everyone hurry up and eat, and then it's up to you to make your own arrangements, there's nothing at home, I don't care!" Li Qingshan completely gave up, and winter was the only season when farmers could rest.
"Old family, a few of you concubines go out for a walk, and the clothes at home are not unworn, your father and I are not in a hurry to do it, don't be in a hurry!" Niu, who hasn't spoken much, said!
Several daughters-in-law do needlework at home all day, she knows that this is not a trivial job, tired eyes. It's good to have filial piety and understand, and there is no need to do it with your elders every time.
"That's it, your mother is right, and the clothes you made fit very well, and those old men outside are envious!" Li Qingshan and Niu praised together.
Not to mention, as soon as the clothes are worn out, those old men are envious and jealous! There are few people in the village who are as harmonious as the Li family, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and concubine is handled very well. And also filial piety.
"Old man Li, I don't know how you get along at home, the old woman and daughter-in-law in my family quarrel all day long! Not a day was born! The lean old man said enviously.
"Haha, it's all good for in-laws!" Li Qingshan laughed loudly without showing off.
"Got it, Dad, we're not tired!" The busiest day of the year ended in a harmonious atmosphere!
Li Hui thought that the goal in her heart would be completed, and next year, it won't be long before her red bricks will spread all over the country! One step away from your dream, I don't know what needs to be arranged next, I should think about it! (To be continued.) )
