Chapter 145: Undercurrent
He has always relied on his relationship with the Lu family, and he is familiar with the fifth child, so every time he starts work, he goes out late and returns early, and he often rests halfway, anyway, the salary is paid every month, and no one cares, and those who are not lazy are fools.
The land in Yinpan is considered a "fat shortage", not because there is any oil and water to fish, but mainly because the work is easier than those who farm, but the wages are not a lot at all. Not only that, because it is a vegetable field for their own food, there is no pressure to rush to work, as long as they go to the field regularly every day to show their faces, sometimes, say hello to the old five in advance, and don't even have to go to the field.
It stands to reason that this job is so idle, Lu Tianfu should go to a part-time job or something like that to subsidize the family, but he is surprisingly lazy, he usually doesn't go to work, either eats and sleeps at home, or sits in the tavern at the entrance of the village to brag and drink, but his daughter-in-law is an honest person, looking at Lu Tianfu like this, he doesn't dare to say it, otherwise, it will be another beating. And Liu's mother goes back every day, sometimes she just bumps into Lu Tianfu sleeping, at most she says a few words, after all, she is her own child, she is reluctant to scold more, anyway, the family's money is enough, Lu Tianfu's monthly silver is spent by himself, and it is not used to subsidize the family, if you don't want to work, do less, isn't there a daughter-in-law at home? Just put this labor to good use.
Lu Tianfu has worked in the silver plate for several years, whether he has worked or not, he will be paid one tael every month, not only him, but all the employees of the silver plate have also learned from Lu Tianfu, hang the children to grow some vegetables, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. How many vegetables can be eaten in Lujiazhuang, it is enough for four people to plant one or two acres casually.
Later, I don't know what happened, Lu Yishou suddenly called Lao Wu to do something else, and handed over the large piece of land of Yinpan to Ye Xiaoyu, a girl, to be responsible, about this Ye Xiaoyu's life experience, Lu Tianfu also heard a lot from his mother Liu's mother, it was indeed quite miserable. Originally, when the fifth child was in charge, he was still scruple about the point, and he informed him in advance when he didn't come, but it was replaced by Ye Xiaoyu. Such a yellow-haired girl. Lu Tianfu is even more unscrupulous. To put it bluntly, no matter who manages this land, he will still be paid anyway, and he will not do the work.
But what he didn't expect was. Lu Yishou actually called a meeting of hired workers. A new rule has been made. He was also transferred to the backyard livestock shed to clean up and collect manure from horses and cows, but he was not in charge of these livestock, but was just a person who collected horse and cow dung. After adjusting the position. Not only the wages have become lower, but also every day in the face of a large pile of stinky feces, what's worse is that these beasts eat a lot of Dora every day, if they don't clean up for a day, the shed will be full of feces, and the stench will be all day, which is not cleaned up on time in Lujiazhuang, if you don't clean it up on time, you will definitely be found, no matter how you want to be lazy, there is no way.
So after only a few days, Lu Tianfu didn't want to do it. But he couldn't find a better job than this, so he resigned from his job rashly, and when he went back, he would definitely be told by his mother, even if she didn't say it, he would have less money for wine, and it would not be so convenient to drink and eat outside in the future.
Just when he was struggling, he suddenly heard the news that Lao Wu was back, so he didn't bother to change his clothes that smelled of horse manure, and hurried to Lao Wu's small courtyard.
"Fifth Master, why have you been there for so long this time? You don't know, during the time you were away, the Lu family began to change......"
As soon as he saw that the fifth child was at home, and his ass had not yet sat down, Lu Tianfu began to say that he naturally knew that the status of the fifth child in the Lu family was naturally known, as long as the fifth child was willing to pull himself, he Lu Tianfu would definitely be able to go back to the silver plate again, even if he couldn't go back, he could change to an easier job.
"Something delayed for a few days, changing the sky? What day has it changed? I think the weather has been nice lately. ”
Lao Wu knew that Lu Tianfu had something to say, but he didn't break it, but waited for him to take the initiative to say it. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it's definitely not a good thing for Tianfu to come to him on this road.
"And what's the smell of you? Such a big person, the clothes are so dirty, and I don't know how to change them. ”
As soon as Lu Tianfu approached, the fifth child was about to be stunned by the smell of horse manure on his body, so he quickly covered his nose and took a few steps back, looking at him with disgust on his face.
"Alas, it's a long story, Fifth Master, you don't know how difficult my life was during your absence......"
Lu Tianfu cried with a sad face, and casually pulled a chair to sit down, regardless of the disgusted look of the fifth man next to him. As soon as he sat down, he began to be like a flood that burst the embankment, from the day the fifth child left Lujiazhuang to now he was arranged to work in the stable, talking endlessly, spitting stars flying around, during which his eyes were red many times, and his voice was full of emotion.
"So, I think I was put in the stable, and I was killed by a traitor."
In the end, Lu Tianfu ended his "speech" with a sentence he usually heard, and his so-called "traitor" was Ye Xiaoyu.
After listening to Lu Tianfu's words, ignoring the part that was mixed with personal emotions and pouring bitter water, Lao Wu had a general understanding of what had happened in Lujiazhuang recently, and he had been wondering why Lu Yishou didn't give him the new business he took over, and it turned out that he was intercepted halfway by Ye Xiaoyu, a chicken thief. Ye Xiaoyu, although she is young, has fought against herself many times, and many things are also her obstructions, even if she is a small fight, now it has developed into such a big business, no matter what happens, as long as it is linked to money, for the fifth child, it is definitely not a trivial matter, about the management of the silver plate, he will definitely take it back, as for how to take it, he has to arrange it carefully, this time, he must not lose to the yellow-haired liar of this chicken thief.
Ye Xiaoyu is a little lazy today, busy for more than a month, and finally determined some of the main things, people are sometimes like this, they have been in a state of fatigue and do not feel hard, but once the tight string is released, the whole body is like about to fall apart, she was like this in her previous life, especially at the end of each year, she has been in her office for almost several weeks, taking the company as her home, but there is still endless work, when these things are all done, Ye Xiaoyu's whole person begins to collapse and be lazy, no matter what she does, she can't concentrate, so in the weeks of the beginning of the year, she was in a state of emptiness.
But in the previous life, although it was a performance, but it was a part-time job for the boss, now it is different, doing your own work, the quality of the business is directly related to her own income, even if it is loose, Ye Xiaoyu does not dare to let go, now the business has just started, she is afraid that if she relaxes, so many previous efforts may be in vain.
So even though she was very reluctant to get up, Ye Xiaoyu still struggled to get out of the quilt and went to the field to see that the "greenhouse" was still being built, and several carpenters were knocking on it; The vegetables in the field have also been watered, especially lettuce, which grow rapidly, Ye Xiaoyu comes to see them every day, they will bring surprises to themselves, Ye Xiaoyu feels that in a few days they can be transported to the capital to those merchants. In fact, Quanxiu Village here every year to the lunar calendar in February to start planting vegetables, this year because of their own "fruit and vegetable plan", in order to show the merchants in the capital, so in late January to plant the vegetables, fortunately this year's temperature warmed up quickly, vegetables are growing well.
After the rectification of the management of hired workers in the field, the results are indeed extraordinary, and now no one dares to be lazy in the field work, because how much work each person does is allocated, and it is also linked to wages, no one will get along with themselves, so after rectification, Ye Xiaoyu basically does not have to worry about the work in the field, she now just needs to do a routine like this every day, and pay a little attention to the growth of vegetables in the field.
Yinpan is far away from Lujiazhuang, and Ye Xiaoyu doesn't want to trouble Uncle Yang to drive, so whether it is to check in the field in the morning or to walk in the field in the afternoon, she is already almost ready to eat when she comes back from such a trip every day.
Hong'er is also very happy now, not only does she have Liu Mei'er and her companion, but also the rice is received by Uncle Geng, and the vegetables are bought by herself, no need to go to the kitchen to see Liu's mother's face, Ye Xiaoyu has a lot more money to buy vegetables for her every day, and every time the remaining part of Ye Xiaoyu asks her to keep it by herself, seeing that Ye Xiaoyu doesn't accept it every time, Hong'er uses the rest of the money to buy some snacks and put them at home for everyone to eat.
Although Liu Mei'er doesn't talk much, after working here for more than a month, she is also familiar with Ye Xiaoyu and Hong'er, especially with Hong'er, the relationship between the two is so good that they are like sisters, and sometimes Ye Xiaoyu feels a little "jealous". Although the handkerchief designed by Ye Xiaoyu sells very well in the cloth shop of the shopkeeper Liu, there is only a handkerchief, and it is indeed too simple, so when the shopkeeper Liu came to Lujiazhuang last time, he told Ye Xiaoyu by the way that he could add some purses, socks, etc., and the salary added one or two silver to Ye Xiaoyu every month.
Considering that Liu Meier is such a skilled "professional", Ye Xiaoyu of course agreed, and told Liu Meier about it the next day, and designed a few purse patterns, and explained that she did it well, and at the same time, she also gave her a salary increase of 200 Wen, so that Liu Meier can get 1 tael of silver every month, and the basic salary of those men who go out to work in the town during the slack is so much, it can be said that Liu Meier is a girl, and her monthly income is equivalent to a strong man, which is not only Liu Mei'er happy, Her uncle and aunt heard it was also incredible, many people in the village heard it, and they all wanted to send their girls to Lujiazhuang to work, and some even asked acquaintances to say that the situation developed like this, beyond Ye Xiaoyu's expectations, but no matter who it is, it is useless, Ye Xiaoyu makes so much money every month, it is enough to hire a Liu Meier, she is not a charity, she can't afford to raise so many idlers, and the key is that at present, Liu Meier is more than enough to complete those jobs alone, there is no need to waste money.
