Chapter 17 There are a bunch of trivial things, and it is not easy to be in charge
"The second child is his own family, what do you say, I won't hide it from you, our family is now a flower girl in charge, she has the final say, the business of making money at home is what she thinks, this is all the blessing of the Bodhisattva." Li is very proud of his daughter,
"This is too unusual, a little girl is in charge," everyone looked at the peach blossoms in surprise,
"Flower girl, how to squeeze this oil, we haven't heard of it, our ancestors ate lard, can you eat this peanut squeezed oil." Uncle still didn't believe it
"Peanuts are fried and ground while they are hot, and then heated them, and they can be pressed hard with something, and the oil is not only bright in color, but also very fragrant," Peach Blossom knows that peanuts are cheap now, but the equipment is not good, and I am afraid that the oil yield is not high.
I discussed specific things with my uncle again, and my aunt and uncle also washed and cleaned up, and a few people hurried back, and the peach thing was taken away together, in my aunt's words, even if it was to fill in the puppets, burn the fire, and earn two or three cents a day is better than eating at home, my aunt didn't bring her little cousin, which made Xiao Xijuan, who was more than a year old, cry more than once, and there was no way to do it, so I had to go home and let her grandmother see, the same as the current rural left-behind children, they all grew up with their grandparents, and they only saw their parents once for a long time, so my sister-in-law is still at home, It is estimated that my aunt's mother-in-law knows about it, and she is willing to let my aunt come, a big man only has 20 yuan a day of coolies, and he is generally a short-term worker, and he can't earn a few dollars for a few days, even if he is an apprentice in the store, there is a free trial period of several years. If the aunts and their sisters come down for a long time, they will have a few taels of silver a year, which is a good thing that the Peach Blossom family didn't dare to think of before.
Talking and laughing along the way, and telling Uncle Niu that a few people temporarily rented to his house, taking care of getting up early and dinner, the peach blossom family paid for it, and it was very suitable for Uncle Niu's family to have no children and no daughters, and Uncle Niu also loved to tease Xiang Tao, an obedient child, along the way.
When I got home, a few aunts came to work and didn't leave, they lived in the uncle's house, and their children were also crowded with Xu Wang's house, and the uncle's sleeping place was squeezed by them to the uncle's house to live with the rich brother, but fortunately, the uncle no longer lives at home these days. My uncles also lived in the same room where the grain was kept. Many of the relatives were looking for houses in the village on their own.
Coupled with the thirteen members of the three aunts' family, the house is even more lively, the sound of adults talking, the noise of children are about to tear off the roof, and the noise is even more noisy during dinner, and Peach Blossom is more eager to live in her own small courtyard as soon as possible.
"Flower girl, the house is starting to be built, there are many people who volunteer to work, a few house building teams, and they don't need money to help, I think they are all coming for the type of room and the fire you designed, do you want to."
Since Peach Blossom began to be in charge, her seat began to sit next to her grandfather, which is a reflection of her status in the family, and it is also convenient to discuss things with her grandfather.
"It's the same money as the people in the village, our family has built a lot of houses this time, and the sisters in the family can't work hard, so finish building it early, and build a new house as soon as possible, and the family won't be crowded."
The style of the 21st century suite designed by Peach Blossom, this kind of thrifty place, convenient to live, and a house with floor heating really caused a sensation as soon as the construction started. Peach Blossom didn't plan to make money from this, so he came to count the wages, after all, the life of the farmers is really hard now, there are many children, there is little land, and the family often relies on one or two heavy laborers to make a living.
"Then we will build a house much faster, and it won't take two months for the four regiments to get up."
The sister-in-law stuffed the child to the eldest aunt and quietly came to Peach Blossom's side, "Peach Blossom, how do you calculate the wages of our aunts." "I really haven't thought about this peach blossom, it's definitely a little little less like other relatives, and everyone will have opinions like the eldest sister,
"Sister-in-law, how much is it appropriate for us, surely we can't work the same as others, do you have the same opinions as you?"
"I'm afraid that a few sisters and aunts have opinions, so it's better to take the middle one." Since the sister-in-law said this, it proves that she herself has an opinion.
"Then it's three hundred wen a day, there is more work to do now, and when you ship it tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be more than a few days ago."
"There are a lot of goods this time, and even the house in our courtyard is almost unable to fit down, so I will talk to a few aunts after dinner, and save trouble tomorrow."
After eating, Peach Blossom gathered the working women together to discuss, "I discussed with my sister-in-law, although the three aunts are married, after all, they are still our family, and we can't only take twenty wen a day like others," "Of course, it's still the flower girl who is right, we are originally a family." The second aunt smiled when she heard this, everything was as she expected, and several aunts and aunts immediately looked bad.
"Three hundred wen per family a day, Sister Xiaoyan counts two hundred wen." "What do you mean by peach blossoms, why do we take so little, they have more than one or two peach buds, even peach leaves, lotus red are more than us, and say that a family, you don't want to be in charge of the house, right?" The second aunt exploded and jumped three feet high.
"Yo, there are still those who are not satisfied, don't do it if you are too little, this family is not your decision now, if I am in charge, you will only have twenty yuan." "Wang Erfat, what kind of heart do you have, look at you like that and still be in charge, if you can be in charge, pigs will go up the tree." "Xu Mazhuan, what are you, this home is my home now, I won't let you do it yet, you get out of here." The Wang family and the second aunt pinched up, they still have something to look at, and even the nickname came out, but Peach Blossom is willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"Enough, sit down, like something," this kind of training is still an effective result of Xu Wang's words, and if it is replaced by a junior like Peach Blossom, I am afraid that the scolding war will escalate. The two sat down indignantly. "Peach blossoms, can't there be more," it seems that Xu Wang's family still wants to fight for his daughters, "You have also seen that there will be opinions as much, there are so many aunts and aunts, and the aunts also have nine taels a month, which is enough to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"Mother, don't be embarrassed about the peach blossoms, there are a lot of things to do, and others think that we are disrespectful to our sisters-in-law, and we are not here to fight for family property, we are here to work and get paid. Just do what Peach Blossom says. "The aunt is still more sensible, in the patriarchal now, marrying a daughter actually has no say in her mother's family.
"Of course, it is easy for the two people in the eldest sister's family to make money, what if there are only three boys in our family," the second aunt didn't dare to make a loud noise about the money, and she was probably really afraid that the Wang family would be kicked out, so she just muttered a few words.
"Grandma, my aunt's children are the same as our family, and our family will pay ten taels of dowry when they marry. Let a few cousins work with the adults tomorrow, the same money. "In fact, in addition to Xiaolong, the fifteen-year-old eldest cousin of the eldest aunt's family, the remaining thirteen-year-old second cousin Xiaotao of the eldest aunt's family, as well as the thirteen-year-old cousin Li Qiang of the second aunt's family, and the eleven-year-old cousin Li Gang, all eat for nothing.
The aunts have a few more benefits, and naturally they no longer have other opinions, "The money for our family to build a house is all from the public, and then make up twenty taels for the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family," Since ancient times, the burden has to be the same at both ends, and after the peach blossom coaxed the aunt, she began to coax the aunt,
"Don't need money, our family needs one if they are virtuous, and he is going to get married." "I'll tell my grandfather about it later, bring Brother Wen's with you, and add two regiments." Peach Blossom is not afraid of the Wang family's trouble, but judging from the past few days, there is Brother De who is willing to work, has a flexible mind, and is not at all like his parents.
After the letter to my grandfather, the evening study began, and everyone was able to write the numbers correctly after reviewing yesterday's numbers, and everyone was rewarded. Of course, in addition to having ambitions, today's peach blossom is talking about simple addition and subtraction, and ten hundred thousand writing, everyone's interest in learning is very high, especially a few people who have been praised by everyone when they show off during the day, and a few cousins and cousins also follow suit, although slowly. It's also very serious, mainly because of curiosity.
The next morning's shipment was even more gratifying, and the payment for the goods exceeded 100 taels at once, and many were divided into more than five taels.
Peach Blossom didn't go to the store today to make a good arrangement at home, let Brother Youcai order a big grinding plate, and a set of iron plates for squeezing, Brother Wen went to count the people who worked and then bought rice noodles, meat and vegetables, and the rest of Brother De followed Peach Blossom to study charcoal.
Peach Blossom went up the mountain to see the wood with Brother Youde early, otherwise she really couldn't stay at home, all the relatives in the yard came up enthusiastically to pull her to talk, and there were all the matchmakers in the villages who were almost enough to get together a table, Peach Blossom let her grandmother out a long time ago, saying that she would build a house and then say kiss to her brothers and sisters, but these matchmakers didn't seem to have heard it, and they were still stuck at home every day.
Looking at the peach blossom family's field and the new house from afar, it is overcrowded, and even two cauldrons have been added to the door of the house, and there are more than 100 people who work and eat, fortunately, the men who work are all bringing their own dry food, and only use millet soup at noon, I heard that there are many people who drank porridge hard yesterday and did not eat dry food.
The trees on the mountain have sprouted buds these days, a piece of emerald green, there are unknown small flowers blooming on the ground, the peach blossoms are in a cheerful mood, scurrying around in the forest, no longer a few days ago in order to fill the stomach when picking wild vegetables, and even stepped on a wild flower to wear on the head, there are many elms and poplars on the mountain, of course, pine trees and sycamores can not be used, other miscellaneous trees also have a lot of use, wood is not lacking, just cut the tree when there is a brother De pay attention, regardless of the distance, pick up the big cut, do not cut under five years.
The peach blossom with good interest also went to dig a few bamboo shoots, now the bamboo shoots are a lot bigger, think about it at the beginning and want to make dried bamboo shoots to sell, now there is no time to tinker with a small business, by the way, there is a grocery store where Brother Wen used to stay, isn't it out of stock, she has no time to do it, someone can do it, you can talk to your aunt when you go back, let your aunt do it, another way to make money.
