Chapter 9 Recognize an Elder
"Boy, you're good," Liu Xiu spoke at this time.
Liu Xiucai, in his fifties, he was a child in the former Qing Dynasty, he had just been admitted to Xiucai, and this Qing Dynasty was gone, so he was really not a Xiucai, but people were still used to calling him Xiucai, and even he was dragging a braid on the back of his head.
Because of the hardships of life, it is rare to see it in his mouth, but the arrogance of being a literati is still there.
"Liu He, your surname is also Liu Ha, I don't know how old you are, young man, did the old man of your family say it?" How many generations, this is a folk saying about the same surname, needless to say, Liu He really knows how many generations he has.
"Hehe, old man, I'm twenty-one." Hearing Liu Xiucai ask about his world, Liu He moved in his heart, in this village, he only knew the dog family, which was not enough to make him stand on his feet, but once he got involved with this Liu Xiucai, he would be able to stand in this village.
"Boy, I'm eighteenth." The old man looked at Liu He with a smile, as if you had the final say. "Hello old man." Liu He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to this Liu Xiucai, originally Liu He was a junior from a later generation, and there was nothing wrong with kowtowing to his grandfather.
"Haha, get up, I recognize your grandson." "Congratulations to Mr. Liu, for accepting such a good grandson." "Haha, rejoicing."
"Boy, let's go first, you clean up slowly." As he spoke, Liu Xiucai walked away with the village chief, "Village chief, Liu Lao, I'll send you." ”
But Liu He didn't have the heart to give it away at this time, and he had to think about it in the face of these things in front of him.
From the contract, Liu He knew that this was the summer of 1933, and there were still a few years before Sanqi, but he had to prepare now, and he was now considered a middle class.
"Uncle Li, let Aunt Li help cook in the future, and you can eat here together." Liu He immediately gave the dog Danniang a task, "Little brother, how is this good, it's okay to ask your aunt to help you cook, but we can't eat it at your place." "Uncle Li, I still have something to ask you."
"Little brother, if you have something to say, I will definitely help you do it." "Uncle Li, I need you to catch the work in my field, and I am not familiar with these long-term workers, so I will rely on you Uncle Li in the future."
"Little brother, don't worry, I will take care of your work in the field, and I won't let a grain fall into the ground." Daddy patted his chest and reassured.
"It's up to you, the owner, if you take care of our food, we will do the work in your fields." The long-term workers were not convinced, and Liu He looked at the long-term workers who had been interjecting, "What's your name." "The owner, my name is Liu Xiong." "Okay, Liu Xiong, Uncle Li will be the captain for you, and you will be the deputy captain, and when Uncle Li is not there, you will be responsible for these long-term workers."
"Boss, what does this deputy captain do," "Deputy captain, it's just to work with the long-term workers, if you don't do well, I'll look for you, and if you have anything, you will come to me through you." ”
"Okay, I'll do this vice-captain, as long as I don't want to bully them." This is a matter of mind, and what will be said after the autumn harvest.
Then Liu He looked at the houses here, and Liu He found that these houses were next to Liu He's previous house, and he didn't notice this matter because he was happy to buy the land, which was easy to do, and Liu He still had to worry about the previous cabbage seeds.
Liu He walked around the house for a while and found that there was no place for the long-term workers to live in these houses. "Hey, Liu Xiong, come here, where do you all live."
"Owner, we all have our own families, so naturally we live at home." "Then why do you do long jobs here?" "Naturally, we don't have any land, so we have to work long hours in your house." Liu Xiong looked at Liu He with the eyes of an idiot.
"Hey, I see, what are you supposed to do?" Liu He waved his hand embarrassedly and let Liu Xiong go.
Now Liu He has five houses, one is a place to eat, one is where he lives, and one is used as a granary, and one is used as a granary.
There are corn and sweet potatoes in the ground, and there is nothing else, even other people also plant them like this, and the peanuts that were common in Liu He in the past were not planted, so there will be no ones here, and when will I go to the city to see, this peanut still has to be planted well.
Look at the mountains again, those rattan and everything are growing like crazy, and even in the village, I don't see any people weaving rattan with rattan, no wonder this village is so poor, but nothing can be done at once, this has to be seen slowly.
"Uncle Li, what are you doing with me?" Liu He found that the dog dan was walking around behind Liu He, "It's okay, little brother, I'm just following you to see what you have to say." ”
"I'm okay Uncle Li, I just want to take a look everywhere, hey, by the way, Uncle Li, is there any weaving in our village." "Weave what." The dog dan asked suspiciously, "Hey, it's strange that I didn't make it clear, that is, do you know how to weave baskets or something?" ”
"You say this, yes, I will, it's just a little bit of it, because this rattan is mainly on Li Laocai's mountain, Ao, now it's yours little brother."
"Uncle Li, is there a market around here?" "Yes, what do you want to buy, little brother?" "I'm not going to buy anything, Uncle Li, these baskets are sold in the bazaar."
"Yes, there is a big money one, and there are two big money one, how do you need to buy a basket, don't buy it, I'll knit a few for you."
"No, Uncle Li, you said that these rattans are idle, or you organize people to weave them into baskets, maybe you will make a lot of money." "Well, this is a solution, but, little brother, this rattan is yours." Naturally, the dog dan now sees these things as Liu He's, but this is indeed Liu He's.
"Well, this is mine, you let them weave and sell it, I will give them a part of the manual fee." "That's good, little brother, I'll go back and organize people who can weave to cut rattan and go back to weaving."
