Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, father and son, brought a plough stick pulled by a mule, as well as two short-term workers.

"Oh, that's not going to happen." Lian Shouxin hurriedly excused himself, "Third Brother Wu, I understand your kindness." Your family also has land, and this time is the time to grab seeds, so how can you leave your own land and help me farm it. "Don't look at me and the children, we also have a plough stick, these acres of land, and we have planted them."

"Brother Trustworthy, what are you still polite to me?" Wu Yugui smiled and said, "Let me tell you, our family's land has been planted, so I'm here to help you." There are only a few of you, and you have to be busy with the business of the early shop, and there is no day and night to work. One day or two days, how can it be done after a long time. Besides, this kind of land waits for no one. In the past two days, I hurriedly finished planting the land in Chapter 291 The rain has also saved the land from drying up, and when the time comes, I will have to carry water to plant the land, which will be troublesome. ”

"Yes, fourth uncle, our family land is planted, help you, don't delay our own affairs." Wu Jiaxing also said.

Even the promise is still a little hesitant.

“…… No one else can compare to us. What is the relationship between our two families, we are really relatives. Wu Yugui seemed to guess Lian Shouxin's concerns, so he said again.

A cousin of the Zhou family married into the Wu family of Thirty Miles of Yingzi and gave birth to a son named Wu Yuchang. Wu Yugui and Wu Yuchang are cousins. In this way, although there is no blood relationship, even Shouxin and Wu Yugui are cousins.

What's more, the two families have been getting closer and closer recently.

"Let's stop chattering. Hurry up and finish planting the land, and let my younger siblings and a few children go home early to rest. Wu Yugui said again.

Wu Yugui said everything, and even kept his promises.

Wu Yugui, Wu Jiaxing, and two strong laborers of the short-term workers. Coupled with the addition of a plough stick, the speed of Lian Man'er's family farming has more than doubled.

While working, even Shouxin and Wu Yugui chattered.

Wu Yugui usually works as a tooth thief, earns a lot of money, and has more than 100 acres of land at home. His family employs a rough messenger who does rain and miscellaneous work all year round, and in addition, he hires short-term laborers every time the farm is busy. Two crops a year, spring ploughing and autumn harvest. Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, father and son, will both go to the field and lead short-term workers. As for the usual tending of the crops, they are mostly left to reliable day laborers.

Wu Jiaxing's mother Wang and sister Wu Jiayu don't have to do rough work in the field, and are only responsible for cooking at home.

"Brother Trustworthy, your shop is a business for money. According to me, I will still hire a few workers to do the work in the field in the future. Otherwise, you two are too busy to bear it. It also delayed business. "Because the friendship is getting better and better. What Wu Yugui said to Lian Shouxin was more realistic. "I know all the people in these ten miles and eight villages, you have to hire people, I will introduce a few reliable ones to you. Make sure you don't worry about it. ”

Even keeping promises to make money by trading and trading, this is less than a year's work. In his ideology, it is still in the original stage. If you don't have enough land, you should buy more land and plant it yourself. He had never thought of such a thing as hiring someone to farm the land.

"Now you have about 50 acres of land, and you can barely plant it yourself. When you buy more land, you won't be able to plant it anymore. Wu Yugui said with a smile.

Lian Man'er heard what Wu Yugui said behind and nodded secretly. The family will definitely buy another field. When the time comes, they will not be able to plant it, and they will not go out to plant it for others. It's to hire someone to help with the planting.

Some of the households are relatively poor, with little or no land. In order to make ends meet, these people either tenant other people's land, or work for people on a day basis, and of course some are hired to do long-term labor. For example, Wu Yugui, a landlord who does not have too much land, invites short-term work to farm the land. And a big landlord like Wang Ju's family has more than a dozen long-term workers at home.

Although even Man'er's family does not have (the fastest update) hired workers for farming, in their early shop, Shi Wazi who runs the hall, Zhao who helps in the kitchen, and Wang Laohan, who cleans the toilet, are also hired by her family.

"Third Uncle Wu, let's talk about it, when my family wants to hire workers, you can help us find a few reliable and capable people." Lian Man'er said.

"Okay, wrap me up." Wu Yugui agreed with a smile, and then turned his head to Lian Shouxin and Zhang, "Zhi'er and Man'er, these two children are really rare, diligent, and ingenious, and they are all in charge of work outside the house." Whoever marries back in the future will be blessed. ”

Lian Zhi'er's movements slowed down, and she was already at an age where she would be shy when she heard about her marriage.

Lian Man'er is nothing, but she also knows that it is not good for her to move forward at this time, but her ears are eager to stand up, listening to what Wu Yugui and Lian Shouxin will say next.

"My two daughters are both big-footed, and I don't want to climb any rich and noble families, just our ordinary village family, as long as the family is harmonious, the old people are kind, treat them well, and the children are kind and temperamental." Zhang picked up Wu Yugui's words and said.

It will work, and the rain will be a little heavier. Wu Jiaxing led the cattle and walked past Lian Zhi'er, and his steps slowed down.

Lian Zhi'er's hair was already wet from the rain, Wu Jiaxing looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he raised his hand and took off the straw hat he was wearing on his head and handed it to Lian Zhi'er.

Lian Zhi'er didn't answer, and hid to the side.

Wu Jiaxing stubbornly held the straw hat and maintained the posture of handing it to Lian Zhi'er.

Coincidentally, Lian Man'er, who was not far away, raised his head at this time and happened to see this scene. Wu Jiaxing and Lian Zhi'er were sensitive to Lian Man'er's gaze projected on them. Lian Zhi'er was busy staying away from Wu Jiaxing, working with his head down, and he didn't say a word.

Wu Jiaxing took the straw hat and handed it to Lian Man'er.

"Man'er, a straw hat for you to wear." Wu Jiaxing smiled at Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er squinted her eyes and said in her heart, don't think I didn't see your little movements. If you want to please me, why did you go earlier? If it weren't for my sister not wanting your straw hat, you wouldn't have remembered to give it to me. By the way, if I hadn't seen it, you wouldn't have remembered to put a straw hat on me!

"Cut!" Lian Man'er deliberately turned her head and ignored Wu Jiaxing.

Wu Jiaxing was a little overwhelmed with a straw hat, and Lian Zhi'er found out about Wu Jiaxing's embarrassment, so she was a little soft-hearted, she couldn't talk about Lian Man'er.

"Brother Jiaxing, wear the straw hat yourself. We're fine. Lian Zhi'er said.

"My sister's hair is already wet, what's the use of wearing a straw hat again?" Lian Man'er came closer and said deliberately.

Wu Jiaxing is relatively old among boys of the same age. But being said by Lian Man'er still made him blush with embarrassment. He had wanted to give the straw hat to Lian Zhi'er for a long time, but it wasn't so easy to muster up the courage to actually do it, was it?

Except for his sister Wu Jiayu, Wu Jiaxing has no experience in getting along with other girls. And Wu Jiayu has few words, and he will never rob him.

Wu Jiaxing was pitifully embarrassed there.

Lian Man'er saw it in her eyes, and almost laughed to the point of internal injury. Wu Jiaxing, who always looks old, is actually just a young-skinned teenager, and she just said this sentence, which made him stunned. It's so much fun!

"Man'er......" Lian Zhi'er secretly glanced at Lian Man'er.

At this time, Xiao Qi came back from home with three straw hats.

"Third Uncle Wu, Brother Jiaxing......" Xiao Qi greeted when he saw Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing.

"Hey." Xiao Qi's arrival finally rescued Wu Jiaxing from the predicament. Wu Jiaxing had already seen Lian Man'er smiling, and knew that she was deliberately mischievous, and she was embarrassed, but there was a new problem in her heart that needed to be solved urgently.

Lian Man'er's family only had three straw hats, and the family gave each other a lot, and in the end, these three straw hats fell on the heads of Zhang's, Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er respectively. Wu Jiaxing's straw hat was put on Xiao Qi's head, which he insisted on.

Although the boy has no experience, he has a well-informed heart. He realized quite quickly that there were some people on his way to chasing his wife, and he had to please first.

As it approached noon, the sky cleared.

"You can take the kids home and cook." Lian Shouxin said to Zhang.

"Okay." Zhang nodded, "Where are you eating at noon?" ”

"Let's go to the shop. We're going to put all the dishes we cook at noon in the shop, aren't we? Lian Man'er heard it and said busily.

"Yes, let's go to the shop to eat at noon." Even keep your word.

Zhang took Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er back to the shop first. To entertain Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing's father and son, as well as the two short-term workers who were invited, the lunch meal could not be as casual as what they ate.

"Mother, otherwise, let's make cakes. Affordable, hungry. Lian Man'er suggested.

"Yes, it's a pancake." Zhang thought about it for a while, and then agreed, "I have to fry two more dishes." Man'er, you can go to the town and buy two catties of meat again. ”

"Hey."

Lian Man'er agreed, and then carried the basket to Qingyang Town. She first bought three catties of meat in the butcher's shop, and then went to the wine shop to buy a jar of wine. Because they still have to work in the afternoon, they don't even know how to drink at noon. However, Wu Yugui couldn't just help them with half a day's work, and when it was time for dinner, the wine would come in handy.

By the time Lian Man'er came back from town with the basket, Zhang and Lian Zhi'er had already baked the cakes, prepared the side dishes, cut the meat, and began to stir-fry.

Stir-fried leeks with eggs, stir-fried meat with bean sprouts, stir-fried meat with fungus, stewed dried tofu with sliced meat, and a pot of kelp soup with large bones. The dried tofu I bought was not all stewed, but some were left, and green onions and miso were prepared. Some of the Zhuang families love this bite, and it tastes refreshing.

When Lian Shouxin came back with Wu Yugui's father and son, the three Zhang's mother and daughter had already cooked the meal.

A meal, the big guys are very satisfied. After the meal, there was no rest, and the group went back to work in the fields.

Because of the help of the Wu family's father and son and two short-term workers, the next evening, even Man'er's land was almost planted. On their way to finish their work, it rained heavily. !!
