Chapter 279: Planting Sweet Potatoes (1)

Li Ziyu saw her younger siblings circling around the newly bought livestock vehicle, so she said to her aunt and hurriedly went to the old village chief's house.

Tomorrow she plans to find a few people to clean up the wasteland and plant the sweet potato seedlings as soon as possible.

As the weather warms up, the small sheds for growing sweet potato seedlings have been removed. The sweet potato seedlings are now growing well, and the green ones are gratifying.

When Li Ziyu arrived, there were two old people in the house, and neither son nor daughter-in-law was there.

Seeing that it was Li Ziyu, Grandma Zhao, who was sorting out rags on the kang, warmly beckoned her to sit on the kang: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Is there something wrong? Hurry up, sit on the kang! ”

Grandma Zhao was sincerely grateful to Li Ziyu in her heart. Although the old man was in charge of the building of the house, he gave ten taels of silver in addition to the salary, which made her grateful and closer to Li Ziyu in her heart.

"Grandpa, grandma," Li Ziyu also greeted affectionately, and sat on the edge of the kang.

Zhao Qing was leaning against the east wall and was smoking a dry tobacco pouch, he took a few sips, looked at Li Ziyu gently and said, "Do you want to clean up the ground?" Also, what kind of seedlings should you plant, right? ”

"Yes, Grandpa. I want to find at least ten people, twenty people, pull the grass from the wasteland, and then I have to make sweet potato ridges, and I can't do it if there are fewer people. Even if the salary is fifty yuan a day, no matter the meal, do you think it's okay? ”

It's not that Li Ziyu can't afford three meals, mainly because it's too troublesome. She would rather pay more than serve three meals a day. And the salary given by her family, she believes that it is the first in this area, even if she is willing to come regardless of food.

"Why not? Why don't you want to pay so much? It's too much to eat. You don't know, but the people in our village wish that your family always had something to do. It's not just a matter of staying for a few days. Some people are not used to it, and they want to go out to find a job, but they are reluctant to leave home. I'm afraid that if there is another job in your family, it will go wrong. I miss your family's high wages and your family's good food. Hehehe"

Grandma Zhao didn't wait for the old man to speak, she crackled a bunch of words, and after speaking, she couldn't hold back her laughter.

Li Ziyu also smiled and said, "Grandma, the people who work for my family are my elders, as long as the big guys don't chew the root of my family's tongue behind their backs." Give my family a good job, and I don't have much extra money. ”

"Humph! It's not like that, I'm afraid that some people will take advantage. Behind your back, I'm still messing with you. usually looks at five people and six people, in fact, it is"

"Okay, you don't have to say a word." Zhao Qing took a comfortable puff of cigarette and interrupted his wife's words. Said to Li Ziyu. "Now everyone hasn't gone out to find something to do, they are all idle at home, or they will find twenty people. Anyway, your family is just that little work, and you don't have to worry about finishing it early. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to grandpa."

Li Ziyu saw that the matter was settled, so she said goodbye and went home.

When she arrived at home, Li Ziyu discussed with her aunt and Sister Xiaoou about pasting window paper. Although the main construction of the new house has been completed, the houses have also been cleaned. But. The window paper and straw have not yet been laid.

The issue of the allocation of the house has now been decided.

Originally, the house was enough to live in now. One person can live in one room. However, because the younger siblings are still young, everyone still lives in the same courtyard for the time being. That is, the small courtyard of the five main houses.

In the middle of the five main rooms, this room is considered a living room, and Li Ziyu bought a set of burgundy nanmu tables and chairs and put them in the living room. I also bought a set of tea sets, white glazed fine ceramics, and the burgundy table top with a look that complements each other, looking at it has a taste.

The West and East Rooms each have two interconnecting bedrooms with a door in between.

Because there is a secret door in the East House, Li Ziyu and Xiaolan live in the back room of the East House.

My aunt took Xiao Ou to live in the back room of the West Wing, and Xiao Shan, Xiao Wen took Xiao Wu and Xiao Hu to live in the north room of the East Wing.

The ear room on both sides of the main house, and the ear room on the east side are the toilet and washroom, the toilet is in the inner room, and the washroom is outside. The toilet has a large water tank and a wooden basin for flushing the toilet.

The west side of the room is a large kitchen and boiler room, which houses a medium-sized boiler, which is responsible for heating the entire yard. There are four pots and stoves in the kitchen, and the worktop, water tank, pots and pans, and various spice jars are all newly added. There is also a simple firewood shed next to the ear room to hold firewood, because the firewood shed at home is too far away, and it is very inconvenient to get firewood.

Because of the cold climate in the north here, don't look at the iron heaters installed in each room, Li Ziyu still built a kang.

However, Li Ziyu also took into account the hot summer, so she set up two beds in the five main rooms where they lived.

The two beds are placed in the outhouse of the East Room and the outhouse of the West Wing, respectively, and the two outhouses not only have a fire wall and are equipped with heating, but also a relatively low fire kang is built under the bed. In this way, it is not cold to sleep in bed in winter.

In order to keep the house clean, all the ondol stoves were left outside the house. Li Ziyu also used to think about not building a kang when installing heating, but when she thinks about the rural houses she sees in modern times, it is still very cold in winter when the kang is built and the heating is installed. So, I built a kang again.

However, this heating is not installed in vain, at least in the winter, it will not have to be covered with a quilt in the house.

Li Ziyu, her aunt and Sister Xiao Ou came to the new house with a long narrow strip of wood, iron nails and bright paper, and began to nail the window paper.

Because the window paper is brushed with a layer of oil, it does not stick to the paste, so it can only be nailed with nails.

After a busy time, the three of them finally nailed all the windows of the main house and the east wing before dark. The rest of the house will have to catch the time nail, because the house will be busy again from tomorrow.

When the sweet potato seedlings were planted, she had to rush to the small 100 acres of small farm she bought to plant corn.

The next day, the old village chief came to the gate early with twenty people.

Bu Jiu saw them coming from a distance and opened the door for them in advance. Twenty people looked at the thick and sturdy wooden door, and their hearts couldn't help but be in awe.

With such a gate and such a high wall, the village chief's family doesn't have it yet, and the Li family really can't be underestimated.

Li Ziyu also greeted them early at the bottom of the hill and greeted them one by one with great respect.

Among these twenty people, Li Ziyu basically knows each other. There are Zhao Zhenyou, Zhou Dazhuang, Zhou Xiaozhuang, He Dashan, He Dahai, He Dasen, He Dashu, Wang Chunqiu, Wang Chungang, Fu Yunshan, Zheng Dongwang is Gazi, as well as Lu Ming, Lu Xi father and son, Du Qingjiang, Du Wangcai father and son, Shao Ligen, etc., what she didn't expect was that Yang Lixin also came.

Li Ziyu hurriedly walked to Yang Lixin's side and asked, "Uncle Yang, are you well?" I'm so busy these days that I didn't go to see you. ”

"Alright, alright! I can't do anything else, but I can still do it. Xiaoyu, don't worry, I won't hold back. If I stay any longer, I'll be a wasted person. Moving my arms and legs, with the spirit of energy, I still work hard! ”

Yang Lixin reversed his previous lifelessness, and was much more cheerful in his speech, with a strong confidence on his face.
