While eating, Qin Xiuwu thought to himself. It's already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and it stands to reason that it's time to give employees a holiday. But now his ranch is short of manpower, and he can't keep busy, and if he has a holiday, he can't starve the cattle and sheep in the ranch to death.

I can only keep them here with a high salary, and if I can't do it, I can let them take their families over. Anyway, there are many houses on the ranch, and there is no shortage of places for them to live.

It's just that the pasture is also when it's time to recruit workers, sowing grass seeds next spring, grazing cattle, sheep and livestock, all need manpower, and he can't keep this person busy at all.

It stands to reason that the best place to recruit employees for the ranch is within the tribe. The people in the tribe are herders, and grazing has become almost their instinct, and they are the best recruits. Moreover, he has been in the tribe for two years, and he has long been familiar with the tribesmen, and he is not afraid that they will cause him harm.

However, this time Qin Xiuwu did not choose the tribe, he set his sights on his hometown Yimeng Mountain.

That's where he grew up, and his grandfather still lives there. Unlike in the city, neighbors may not know each other for more than ten years. Very nice among rural neighborhoods. If a person has a job and a way to work, not to mention the same village, people from several neighboring villages will also come and ask him to help take him out to work.

If he finds a job for the people in the mountain village, he can be praised by the villagers, thinking that he is rich and does not forget his hometown; You can also get the best labor, so why not.

So he picked up his mobile phone and called his father, first to report safety to his family, to wish the family a happy New Year, and he first gave an early New Year. Then ask about the situation at home and care about the physical condition of grandpa.

Then he asked his father, "Dad, aren't you in your hometown?" I am in dire need of manpower here, and I don't know if there is anyone in the village who is willing to come and do it. ”

Father Qin smiled and said, "Why is there a shortage of people in the ranch?" Many people in the village are going home for the Chinese New Year and are worrying about where to go to work after the Chinese New Year. I'll go and inquire, and there must be a lot of people willing to go. ”

Qin Xiuwu asked his father to help him find some people to work. In China, acquaintances are easy to do things, and they think that acquaintances will give priority to them. If they and their fellow villagers don't come here, do they have to go to strangers to work, so they are not afraid of being cheated by others.

I'll leave this matter to my father.

When Qin Xiuwu found Erdemutu and decided not to have a holiday for the New Year this year, he decided to say it. Erdemutu said with some embarrassment on his face: "I am one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, and there is not much problem with whether to take a holiday or not."

Other people are not easy to say, you are not unaware of the two years in our tribe, our tribe is only a small tribe, poor and backward but attaches great importance to tradition. If you want them to give up the opportunity for the New Year and stay here to guard the ranch with you, it's not easy to do. ”

Qin Xiuwu was also having a headache with this problem. The reason why he chose to recruit employees in his hometown is also in this regard. People back home are more open-minded, and although there is a tradition of going home for the New Year, it is still possible to do so if you really ask them to stay.

But here is different, the herdsmen here are more conservative and stubborn, and they have never had the consciousness of not going home for the New Year, and now they are suddenly told that it is not easy for them to stay.

But now the situation on the ranch has to leave them behind.

Therefore, Qin Xiuwu had no choice but to discuss with Erdemutu and said, "I'm going to let them bring their families and celebrate the New Year here together, I don't know if it can be done." ”

Erdemutu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I can give it a try, I think with Brother Qin, you should be able to teach in the tribe for two years." ”

While Qin Xiuwu was waiting roughly, Erdemutu didn't come back until the evening, "I got their work done." Fortunately, this is Brother Qin's ranch, and they decided to stay for the sake of teaching the children at the beginning. ”

This made Qin Xiuwu very happy. Each person was given a festival fee of 1,000 yuan, and they were asked to go home in batches to buy all the New Year's goods that should be bought, and bring their families over by the way.

In this way, when it was the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the ranch suddenly became lively, and dozens of people were lively in the villa.

Qin Xiuwu temporarily decided to slaughter five sheep and one cow for use during the festival. The decision made the herders cheer so that they would not have to prepare their own meat and would have a sum of money left.

Outside the villa is the flowing river, where the slaughter of cattle and sheep is carried out. Of course, this matter does not need to be handled by Qin Xiuwu, in fact, even if he wants to, he can't reach out. As a herdsman, slaughtering cattle and sheep is not as smooth as him.

In particular, Erdemutu put a sheep on it, and he held the knife for a while, and the sheep was dismembered.

Then came the ox, and after bringing it over, Erdemutu took the hammer and put it on the ox's head. The strong bull, which was more than 1,500 pounds, screamed sadly, staggered two steps, and collapsed to the ground softly, although he was not dead, he had no strength but to let others do it.

Then Erdemutu fully demonstrated his knowledge of cattle and sheep. Such a huge cow is in his hand, but it is like a chicken. Not to mention the speed of slaughtering, in Qin Xiuwu's eyes, there is even a kind of beauty like a cow. It's just playing tricks and playing art.

The cattle and sheep were distributed to each family, and Qin Xiuwu only left two steaks and some mutton.

The Chinese New Year's Eve should have been a family reunion, eating dumplings and keeping the New Year, staying by the TV when the family talked and laughed, and watched the Spring Festival Gala happily. But this Spring Festival, because Qin Xiuwu didn't go home, he could only stay in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala boringly. It made him feel a little lonely.

Just then the doorbell rang, and Erdemutu walked in with the dishes.

"Brother Qin, how about a drink together."

Qin Xiuwu readily agreed, he was very bored by himself, and it was not bad to have someone to accompany him.

The dishes are very rich, Erdemutu has prepared more than a dozen dishes such as cheese strips, oxtail consommé, paper-wrapped mutton, hand-handled mutton, lamb brain stew, roast lamb shank, milk tofu and so on, all of which are Mongolian specialties.

The two drank mare's milk wine, chatted together, and felt good about talking and laughing. But Qin Xiuwu always felt that it was not a taste, and the two single young men in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve ran to drink together. How can it be compared to a family reunion, wife and children hot kang head.

He said mockingly to Erdimutu. "When to find a wife, you are also an older young man in the tribe, and it is not a matter for you to be single."

Erdemutu said with the strength of wine, "Who can look down on me, I have neither a family nor a career, and I don't even have a little money in my hands, hey, I am destined to be lonely for the rest of my life." It's like Brother Qin, you have a big ranch to watch, and your sister-in-law Ruoyou is even more beautiful, gentle, virtuous and decent, and she has a comfortable life! ”

Qin Xiuwu smiled and didn't answer, he couldn't say that Ren Ruoyou hadn't accepted his pursuit until now, and ignored him.

"This matter is not urgent, I see that you have some thoughts about Sister Naren Toya, every time you see someone, you can't move your eyes. How about I help to talk and make peace, and ensure that you will be able to hold the beauty. ”

Erdemutu was a little moved, and then said with a wry smile: "Just because I have thoughts about others doesn't mean that people have thoughts about me. Their family is one of the few rich families in the town, how can they look down on me, a poor boy. ”

Qin Xiuwu secretly remembered it in his heart, in all fairness, Erdemutu looks good, and his ability is not even better, which is not bad in the younger generation. Only his family, the early death of his parents did not leave him much property.

Now is the era of paying attention to fighting parents and relationships, which has become his biggest weakness. No one will notice his future success, only that he is now living in poverty without a house or a car.

Now Erdemutu is his most relied on subordinate, and Qin Xiuwu even thought about making him the director of the ranch and the shopkeeper himself. If you can help him facilitate this family business, Erdemutu will not be loyal to him and repay his kindness to him.

Qin Xiuwu didn't say anything more, just touched a glass of wine with him, and was ready to get drunk to relieve his sorrows. Spend this Spring Festival alone thousands of miles away as soon as possible.

It seems that the pursuit of things needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and it is called the New Year when there is a wife to accompany it. After these days, Qin Xiuwu felt super depressed.

Next year, I must go home with Ruoyu to have a happy New Year.
