Chapter 121: Preparing for the Festival
Lin He roughly talked about some things about this wooden box at Uncle Li's house, saying when he would start work, and when he went back to discuss it with his father, he asked his father to come and talk to Uncle Li at night, and Uncle Li agreed, saying that he would wait for her father at home at night.
After Lin He left, Aunt Xu chatted, and Aunt Xu said: "Erniu's family has finally lived a good life, Erniu's daughter-in-law and children have also suffered a lot over the years, and now it's worth it." ”
"Yes, you see that the sons and daughters of other families are so sensible and promising, how can it be like the second dog in our family who knows everywhere all the time, the second dog and He'er are not a few years old, and He'er will do all the things in the family." Uncle Li also sighed and said.
"Who says it's not, we don't have such a good life, give birth to such a good girl, only have a hard life, and we can't complain about others. But the child's father, now that Lin He said this thing has come true, our family's life will not be bad. Aunt Xu thought with a look of longing.
Uncle Li also smiled: "Yes, this is also He'er helping us, giving us such a good price, even lower, there are many people to do, how good this work is, no need to be exposed to the wind and sun, every day in their own home can still take care of some, when the farm is busy, invite someone to help do the family's farming, will not delay the work, but there is an income of three taels of silver a month, do a year, we can buy several acres of fertile land." ”
Aunt Xu listened to Uncle Li's words, the smile on her face became stronger, and her family's life was getting better and better. Here Uncle Li said: "I'm going to pick up the second dog in the afternoon, such a big person." I can't always be out in the wilderness, it's time for him to follow me to do something, and watch other people's He'er's house. It's that Chen'er is younger than Ergouzi, and they follow He'er every day to do a lot of things. ”
Although Aunt Xu also felt sorry for the child's young age, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do anything, but she felt that what her man said was indeed reasonable, and this child was too wild, so it was not a problem, so she nodded, and went to pick him up after lunch. The poor second dog was still jumping up and down at Grandma's house at this time. I didn't know that my father and mother were about to start disciplining him harshly.
Lin He returned home, Huang was planning to cook lunch at home, and Erniu also returned. Sitting in the courtyard, Lin He said, "Dad, you are just right at home, I have something to tell you." ”
Lin He sat down in the courtyard. I told Erniu about my plan to ask Uncle Li to make a wooden box. He also said that Dasheng and Dajiang went to cut down trees, and there were many things, so they would add an extra 200 wen a month to each person's salary, and the Huang family also came out and said: "Their salary of 600 wen a month is a lot, and they have to add 200 wen, where to do things There is no such high wage, a month is worth two or three months of wages outside." ”
Of course, Lin He knew that the Huang family was distressed about the money. said with a smile: "Mother, although this salary is a little more." But there are a lot of things, although this tree cutting thing is not done every day, but it is individual work, and it is more hard, and the uncle and uncle have been diligent and diligent in helping our family look at the fish pond for so long, and the salary is higher. ”
"Besides, I asked Uncle Li to make this wooden box, but it saved a lot of money, in addition to saving almost twenty taels of wages for Uncle Li and the two of them a month, these small dollars are nothing, don't worry too much."
Erniu nodded and said: "That's the reason, since the eldest brother and the eldest son came to our house to do things, they have always treated our family's affairs as their own, usually I take care of the things over there in the fish pond, they do it with one hand and one foot, if you invite others to come, although it is said that the salary is lower, but they will definitely not be so dedicated, so they don't care about it." ”
Lin He also nodded, what his father said was completely correct, although the other people in the uncle's family are hateful, but the uncle is indeed the best, when the farm is busy, the uncle went back, and at the beginning he also said that it was good, when the farm was busy, he would take a holiday to let them go back to do farming, but the uncle every morning when others did not get up, he had already cut a large load of fish grass and sent it to the pond, and he would also send some food or fish grass to the end of work at night, and the duck and pig manure at home were also sent to the pond, if it was replaced by others, it would definitely not be possible.
Huang saw that his daughter and the man were talking like this, so he didn't speak anymore and continued to go into the kitchen to make lunch. Lin He and Erniu discussed how to do specific things, and Erniu also said that since he decided to do it himself, he would do it quickly, and he could use it next time when he did it, and he didn't have to go out to buy it. In the afternoon, I went to Uncle Li's side and told Uncle Li that I would look for trees that could be used tomorrow.
Lin He thought the same, and told Erniu, anyway, the weather is good now, and this tree is easy to dry when cut back, so if you simply want to go, you can do more at a time, and you don't have to run over there often. Erniu said that Uncle Li knew that he would arrange it, and asked Lin He to do his own thing, and when the wood was dry, he could make a box, and Lin He went to tell Uncle Li what he wanted to do, Lin He said okay, she was not willing to do so many things.
The days fly by, almost two months have passed, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the people here attach great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao said a month in advance, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival has been spent by several families, so many years, the old people have been in the town, have not spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together, this year together.
Lin He is actually a little reluctant, his family is too good, and there are many people together, and the He family is a villain who likes to take advantage, and every time they like to take advantage of Lin He's family, but grandma gave an order, everyone agreed, and she couldn't help but object, besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a good day, the day of reunion, it is good for the family to be together, and it is also a day for the left and right, and it is not a big problem.
However, Lin He also has a worry that there are still two grandchildren of Father Qin at home, they will definitely not go to Zhao's courtyard, and the two of them will live at home, which is a little deserted, but Father Qin said that it is okay, and his two grandchildren are reunited together.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zhao family said that each family would pay a hundred big dollars to make food, and the food should be better, and the women would go to Zhao's yard to help in the kitchen after breakfast on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and also arranged for Huang and Zhou to be responsible for cooking, He's cutting vegetables, Lin He and Song Yuemei were two hands, and Erniu and Dajiang were responsible for going to the town to buy food back.
Lin He and Erniu also discussed and said that Erniu would go shopping for vegetables tomorrow, and buy an extra copy of the things to be celebrated and give them to Father Qin for the festival. (To be continued.) )
