Chapter 251: That Happy Guy, Sensei Mentioned
"Don't worry, when the time comes, there will really be no one in the way, I will pay the money to hire some short-term workers to help collect grain, anyway, the loquat wine has been sold, and I have some live silver on hand."
Speaking of which, the loquat wine was sold, and Xu Jiaojiao gave a small salary to the people who helped the family when they were making wine.
For example, Luo's family, as well as a few children in the second room, who helped peel the loquat fruit at that time, were paid hundreds of wages.
Luo Zhi suddenly had two or three hundred dollars in his hand, and he was so happy that he didn't mention it.
Xu Zhang's heard Xu Jiaojiao say that he spent money to hire people to do work, and he was immediately unhappy, "If you make money in business, you should send people to hire people to do work, you told my mother, this is called labor cost or something, I understand." But I've never heard of a family that spends money to hire workers to collect grain, and how much money can be collected in the field all year round? also hire people to do the work, don't laugh people to death, the ancestors will not agree! Our ancestors are all poor mud legs, and they are not the big landlords' families, and the family members are also prosperous, so why should they spend money to hire workers to collect grain? If they don't come back to harvest food this year, I told your father that this year's food will not have their share! They don't want to take a grain of grain or a grain from their homes......"
This Xu Jiaojiao won't talk about it.
Xu Zhang's words also have a point.
It's just that the key is that Xu Lao Er can't do heavy work, and the rest of the family is the old, the young, and the women and children.
When the time comes, it is estimated that she will be the most reliable, she has a lot of strength.
But she has never done farm work, and she is not familiar with it, and she has no strength, and she is not as strong as other croppers.
"Okay, mother, it's useless for you to be anxious, maybe tomorrow the eldest brother and they will return home."
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge.
Xu Zhangshi snorted twice, put away the dishes and chopsticks and was about to go out, and as soon as he hit the curtain, he heard the second girl shouting in the courtyard outside.
"Milk, auntie, there's a carriage coming in the direction of our house outside, I don't know who ......"
Xu Zhang's and Xu Jiaojiao glanced at each other, and their first thought was, could it be that the eldest family is back?
Xu Zhang walked out of the house quickly.
She has already burned her fighting spirit, and she wants to scold the boss's family to the blood.
Xu Jiaojiao also got up and went out together.
Out of the courtyard gate, the carriage was getting closer and closer.
It's not the eldest family, it's the family of the child who saved the child in the Niangniang Temple last time......
I saw Lu Yougen driving a dilapidated carriage, the horse was an old thin horse, the car was a rag curtain car, and the one who had it stopped at the door of Lao Xu's house.
As soon as he saw Xu Jiaojiao, Lu Yougen, a middle-aged man, was excited.
"Benefactor, little benefactor!! I've finally found your home. Xiaojing, Xiaojing, me, get out of the car and meet your benefactor! ”
As soon as the curtain of the old carriage was opened, he saw Lu getting down from the carriage with Xiaojing in his arms.
"Benefactor! But I found you, we searched for several days, asking everywhere about the residence of the little benefactor, or the Sun Divine Doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall told us, the little benefactor, last time we were in front of the Niangniang Temple in an emergency, in order to save the child, we left first, not in a hurry, thank the benefactor......"
Both of them are loud and excited.
This voice went down, and the neighbors heard it.
They came out to watch.
What's going on? Who is this little benefactor called?
I saw a child get out of the woman's arms, get off the ground with a smoke, run to the old daughter of the old Xu family, Xu Jiaojiao, and knelt down with a thud.
"Thank you sister benefactor for saving your life, Koi kowtowed to sister benefactor......"
After saying the eight classics, he kowtowed his head uprightly.
Xu Jiaojiao was distressed, and quickly helped him up to prevent him from continuing to knock.
"Xiaojing, don't knock it, are you better?"
On closer inspection, it looks like it's out of the way.
The wounds on his face, hands, and body were also scabbed, and he was no longer the bloodstained child who was so scary that day.
"Sister Hui benefactor, Xiaojing is a lot better, Xiaojing doesn't hurt anymore! I'm going to kowtow to my benefactor's sister for three heads......," Koi said, wanting to kneel down and kowtow again.
Xiaojing, this child is small, it should be taught by adults, Xu Jiaojiao raised her head again, and said to Lu Yougen and his wife, "Don't talk about these false etiquette, it's luck that the child can get better, I won't talk about this here." ”
The villagers in the neighborhood didn't know what was going on, and they were curious to ask each other.
Lu Yougen and his wife opened their mouths and told them about the trampling at the temple fair in Niangniang Temple that day.
The villagers suddenly came to their senses.
"I see, I also went to the temple fair that day, but I went late, I only heard that a child had an accident, fortunately there were good Samaritans who rescued him, but I didn't expect it to be Jiaojiao in our village!"
"Jiao Meizi is kind-hearted, this is another great good deed, and our Xujia Village has been wiped out."
"It's not, Jiaojiao is such a good girl, she is going to be famous for ten miles and eight towns, and she won't come back to tell us if she has done a good thing, it's not that your husband and wife come to thank you, and we don't know if we are neighbors."
"What a good girl!"
……
At this time, Xu Zhang's family reacted, this is the stampede in front of Niangniang Temple, Xu Jiaojiao saved the child's family.
Hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Ahem, everyone is so polite!" You two husbands and wives also have a heart, we Jiaojiao didn't tell you the address, you also came all the way to say thank you, our old Xu family lives in the ravine, looking for the door is fate, come and come, what is there to say in the house. ”
The two husbands and wives were grateful, and hugged Xiaojing into the courtyard of Lao Xu's house to talk.
Lao Xu's family was very enthusiastic about these two couples, poured tea and water for them, and sent them a seat.
"The blessing of the Tonn people, we took Xiaojing to the town Huichun Hall that day to seek medical treatment from Doctor Sun, our family is poor, there is no silver, I wanted to take something to offset the account, or write an IOU or something, and then Doctor Sun learned that our Xiaojing was rescued by your benefactor, and it was unprecedented to give us free medical expenses, Xiaojing did not pay a penny for medicine, and gave us free follow-up every day, very dedicated, it is the blessing of the Tonn people, and our Xiaojing picked up this life......" Lu said, and couldn't help choking up excitedly.
Xu Jiaojiao looked like a Buddha.
She couldn't cope with these false courtesies, and the two couples also asked her where she lived before, but they didn't say.
As a result, I still asked to come to the door.
Keep a smiling face, "Sister-in-law, you are serious, Xiaojing will get better, you don't have to think too much about anything else, and Doctor Sun does not charge your family's medical expenses, which is the merit of Doctor Sun, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
