Chapter 95: Hired Workers and Cooks (2)
Tian Qingqing remembered the modern migrant workers in his previous life, working for more than 100 yuan a day. In comparison, I am too much dirty! But this love will be made up for later.
Hao Lanxin heard this, her heart moved, she stroked Tian Qingqing's hair, and didn't say anything more.
Recently, there have been a lot of strange things in the house: the water in the water tank has become sweet, and it is still gone, and the water basket has become an ornament; After grinding the cornmeal once, the grits at home have never been broken. There is also a white flour meal at noon every day. The two of them didn't know how many times they had figured it out behind their backs, and they agreed that it was the blessing brought by their eldest daughter.
No, it has developed to reduce the physical labor of adults.
If the child does not speak, there may be something difficult to say. Since the child has this ability and filial piety, then don't pursue it too much and make the child embarrassed.
"Qingqing, you are a child with ideas. No matter what you do in the future, tell your mother, and your mother will never stop you. β
Tian Qingqing nodded, "Mom." I want to grow vegetables in our yard, and if we can't eat them, we will let Feng Da Dan sell them on the market. In that way, we have income, and we also have a big belly to do. I won't let him work for us in vain. β
"Hmm. Qingqing, you can do what you want. Your dad and I will definitely support you. β
Tian Qingqing happily stretched out her little arm and let Hao Lanxin hug her. Then he gave her a few hard kisses on the face.
Growing vegetables in the courtyard was affirmed by his parents, and Tian Qingqing became bolder. At breakfast the next day, she announced at the dinner table: After breakfast, she would take Tian Miaomiao to the city to buy rapeseeds.
"How much money do you have to bring?" Hao Lanxin asked. That's what she cares about the most. Don't stop growing nothing, spend the money first.
Tian Qingqing: "Just two yuan." It doesn't cost much, it's all big road dishes, and it's not expensive. β
Tian Dalin: "Give the child five yuan." The poor family is rich, and if you can't spend it, you will be given it back. β
"Mom, I still want to buy a clock." Tian Qingqing plucked up his courage and said. Seeing that Hao Lanxin didn't agree immediately, he explained: "Brother Mai will go to school after that, it depends on the time." I ran out of incense for my grandmother, and I didn't know how long it would take to steam the dry food. I bought it earlier, and I know how to cook it. β
"Actually, it's a matter of time. Buy early and don't buy late. Tian Dalin helped on the side.
He admired his wife's frugality. Because of poverty, a penny is broken in half and spent. Never spend money on anything in advance unless you have to. I just caught up with the house I had just built, and I was probably nervous in my hands, and I was carrying a foreign account.
But the eldest daughter brought it up. Children can earn five or six yuan a day from fishing. It's hard for no one to be hard for this child. What's more, it is also a common item in the buyer's house.
Seeing that Hao Lanxin hadn't expressed his intention yet, Tian Qingqing said again: "Mom, you don't have to give me the money to buy the watch, I have it myself." β
"Where did you get the money?" Hao Lanxin asked.
Tian Qingqing: "The pocket money you usually give me hasn't been spent yet (in fact, I've already eaten the grain, she wants to use the small treasury), I'll use that money to buy it." I just wanted to give you a word of the word, with your permission. β
Hao Lanxin: "How much is it?" β
Tian Qingqing: "I went to the watch shop that day and asked, such a big one (compared to a circle with a diameter of twelve or three centimeters), only four yuan each. β
"Justβfour dollars?" Hao Lanxin dragged the syllables of the word "cai" for a long time, showing a look of being too expensive, "You didn't ask how much it costs to be a little smaller?" β
Tian Qingqing laughed "poof", and a mouthful of rice almost squirted onto the table. Hurriedly covered his mouth, swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mom, you won't buy a horseshoe watch like an old lady and let someone add a little female watch, right?!" β
Hao Lanxin also smiled. Although she had never brought a watch, she had heard that watches were much more expensive than horseshoe watches.
"What's going on, Qingqing, tell Dad about it." Tian Dalin didn't hear what Tian Qingqing meant, and when he saw that his wife was also laughing, he couldn't help asking.
Tian Qingqing smiled and said, "It's like this: an old lady went to the watch shop to buy a clock. After hitting a horseshoe watch, I bargained with the salesperson. The salesman said that this was a public sale and that there was no counteroffer.
"The old lady pointed to a little girl's watch and said, 'It's okay if you don't bargain, or you can add me a little watch like this.'"
"The salesman laughed and said, 'You should be buying vegetables, just add them!' You won't sell you four dollars for this horseshoe watch, and I won't sell you forty dollars for that women's watch. β
"The old lady said, 'My mother, you are selling watches, the smaller the more expensive.' β
As soon as Tian Qingqing finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately sounded at the dinner table. Even Xiao Tian Miaomiao was infected, looking up at her little face and snorting her little teeth silly.
Hao Lanxin wiped the tears from her laughter and said, "Qingqing, if you want to buy a watch, you can buy it, my mother is not much better than that old lady." Buy any new things in the future, Mom listens to you. I'll give you ten dollars in a while, and I'll give it back when I can't use it up. Yes. β
Tian Qingqing: "Mom, you don't need so much, just five yuan." Then he said to Tian Dalin: "Dad, someone comes to buy fish, you just ask them to wait for a while, I will go back quickly, it won't take an hour and a half, and I will be back." β
Tian Dalin nodded and instructed Tian Qingqing to be careful on the road.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Tian Qingqing is familiar with the road of the county seat: what to buy and where to buy, like a mirror in his heart. This saves a lot of time. Sure enough, in less than an hour and a half, I bought rapeseed and horseshoe watch.
It does not show the family's love and ignorance of horseshoe watches. If they are described one by one, the image of the family will be greatly reduced in the reader's mind. Fortunately, they are all Tian Qingqing's closest relatives, so let's save some face for them!
After Tian Qingqing came back, he caught a fish and sold it for six or seven yuan, earning back all the money spent in the morning. This made Hao Lanxin very happy.
If you live a poor life and are afraid, you can get nervous when you go to it!
In the afternoon, Tian Qingqing did not lie, and justifiably planted vegetables in the house for an afternoon.
Feng Da Belly really did what he said. Yesterday morning, I cut down the branches (because I didn't get them, so Tian Qingqing didn't see them), and in the afternoon, I set up fences and walls, and cut trees to level the base of the north house. This morning, dig the open space in front of Dongxiazi and build a furrow. It was completed in less than half an morning. In the afternoon, he did his duty in vain and helped Tian Qingqing sow vegetables for an afternoon.
"Grandpa Wen, if these vegetables grow up and need to be sold, I will definitely not let others. How about wholesale to retail for you at wholesale price? Tian Qingqing looked at Feng Da Belly and said with confidence.
Feng Da Belly smiled: "Qingqing, you need water to grow vegetables, and there is no well in your family's yard, so it's good for the family to eat." β
Feng Da Belly can't see through it, and he doesn't believe that vegetables can be grown in the courtyard. thought it was Tian Qingqing who gave him a blank check that he couldn't cash at all.
The next thing made the experienced Feng Da belly look at Tian Qingqing with admiration.
"Grandpa Wen, are you idle?" Tian Qingqing diverted the topic of growing vegetables. She knew that people didn't believe what she said at this time, not to mention that some things couldn't be said at all.
"What are you doing with that? From planting to harvesting, it took several months. Before the crops could ripen, Grandpa Wen starved to death. Feng Da Belly said: "Qingqing, Grandpa Wen is running around for three meals a day every day, and he can't get money in the morning, and he has to be hungry at noon." Ahem, can't wait! β
"So, how about you give it to me? I'll take care of your food. Tian Qingqing stared at a pair of small black grape-like eyes, and said to Feng Da Belly with a smile: "I have seen several places, but they are not big, and they are covered with old bar seedlings (another name of Dizi), which is difficult to cultivate." As long as you go, I'll take care of your lunch. When it reaches more than three acres, the field management is under your control, whether you work or not, I will take care of your food every day. After the autumn, the grain was harvested, and we divided it equally between the two families. β
"I can't do it! I can't help it! Feng Da Belly shook his head and waved his hand and said, "I'll open you a free place, and you take care of my food, this name is right." I will hoe the land for you, manage, and you will take care of my food, which is also justified. I have labored, you have taken care of my food, we have already leveled it, and if you want to give me food again, won't I take double portion? Where are you going to put my old face? β
Ah, it turns out that this is the one who refused!
Really!
Great real people! I only know how hard to change food for food, and I don't know how much value my labor has created!!
If you tell him about the fact that modern migrant workers in the previous life went to the city to work to earn money, and the workers in the village were also paid, I don't know what he thinks?
It's no wonder that he has been running around all his life just for his mouth, and he has to look at people's faces to change his strength for food. At first glance, I really couldn't accept it when I said that I would pay him.
"You don't want to." Tian Qingqing said again: "When there is a harvest, just like the vegetables in the garden, I will give it to you at the wholesale price, and you will sell it for retail." How about earning the middle price difference? β
"Well, that's okay." Feng Da Belly replied happily.
It seems that he has decided to work hard to eat! When the time comes, the wholesale price will be set lower, and the remuneration can still be compensated to him!
Tian Qingqing thought in his heart, and said to him again: "From the day I opened the idle land, I will take care of you a meal at noon every day. You can either eat it at my house, or take it back and eat it with Grandma Wen like you have done in the past two days, or you can make your own synthetic grain, whatever you want. β
"Okay!" Feng Da Belly replied loudly. The excitement and joy were overflowing: "Go back and I'll talk to your grandmother Wen and see what she thinks." Let's see what work the team has assigned to me. The best to be able to contract labor. If I can't do the work, I'll do it in the morning and in the evening. It's just better for us to pinch up the work eye, I'll arrange it. β
Tian Qingqing has never reclaimed wasteland, not to mention that the terrain of each piece of land is different, and the weeds growing on it are also different, so she doesn't know how to calculate the workman's eye.
"I don't know how to pinch it." Tian Qingqing told the truth. In the face of such a big person, she felt that there was no need to care about this. So he said, "When I show you the plot, you can pinch your own eyes." How much you say, how much. β
Feng Da nodded and left gratefully. RS
