Chapter 276: Lu Yougen and his wife
To be honest, she didn't expect that these two couples would come to the door and offer to help with farm work.
Although their family is poor and has no land, the two of them are young and can go out to help work and earn some money.
During the busy farming season, there are many such opportunities, and many people do this.
But they came to Lao Xu's house and were willing to help for free.
The couple can be regarded as people with a conscience.
"Do you really have that idea?"
Lu Yougen immediately patted his chest and promised, "Auntie, the little benefactor saved a life of Xiaojing, I, Lu Yougen, swore in front of the little benefactor, nothing else, some is a handful of strength, as long as the little benefactor says a word, I Lu Yougen can do anything for the little benefactor......"
A thought came to Xu Zhang's mind.
The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.
She lowered her voice and said, "My daughter is not at home now, but she has fifteen acres of private property, and no one has harvested the millet in the field, can you two husbands and wives go and help take it back?" ”
Lu Yougen and his wife agreed without hesitation, "No problem, we can." It may take a few more days. ”
Fifteen acres of land is also a lot, and if two people do the work, it will take several days to be busy.
"There is no hurry for a few days, as long as the grain does not rot in the field. There is also a need to keep it secret, this is my daughter's private property, and it is the land she bought with the money she earned from her own business, and my father and brother and family don't know about it, and you two husband and wife can't reveal it! ”
Xu Zhang's has no choice.
It just so happened that these two people came to the door, and it seemed that these two couples should be honest people.
So I'm going to give it a try, and if I think the couple can't do it, I'll talk about it then.
Anyway, it's a gamble.
Lu Yougen and his wife are also from the nearby peripheral villages, and they are only one or twenty miles away from Lao Xu's house, which is not too far.
The foot is fast, and it will take less than an hour to get there.
Xu Zhang's last time he found out their addresses.
Lu Yougen and his wife glanced at each other and nodded cautiously, "Aunt Xu, we understand, our husband and wife are not people who talk much, and we promise to only do work and not talk nonsense." ”
Xu Zhang said again, "Okay, I'll believe you." You are responsible for taking back the grain from the field, and when you take it back, you will put it in your house, and then make plans when we have Jiaojiao come back and see it. ”
At this moment, Lu Yougen and his wife were stunned.
What the?
Put all the grain in their homes for fifteen acres of land?
How precious food is!
And it's fifteen acres of grain!
Food feeds people and saves lives......
This is equivalent to handing over their lives to the couple of them!
The two of them thought they were just helping with farm work and recovering the grain in the field, but they didn't expect that they would receive it from their own home?
You must know that in these years, lack of food and clothing, food is the same thing as life, even if it is a brother or a parent, you can only sleep with peace of mind by putting food in your own hands......
As a result, Xu Zhang's was handed over to the two of them, and the husband and wife who had only met once.
What kind of trust is that? With the value?
Lu Yougen and his wife have never been so valued in their lives.
They have always been poor, their ancestors have been poor, their parents have not even left them a decent amount of land, they have always lived by doing odd jobs and hunting, they have eaten the last meal without the next meal, usually no one looks down on them at all, and they have never enjoyed the feeling of being valued......
Lu Yougen's eyes were filled with tears.
A big man with red eyes.
"Okay, auntie, you trust us as husband and wife so much, we will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Lu also had mixed feelings, so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Xu Zhang also gave the two couples a few hundred yuan, "This is the salary of your two husbands and wives, take it." Other people's odd jobs are 20 to 30 a day, and they have to take care of food, I will also calculate according to this number, and I will count you for ten days, don't shirk, I know that your family is poor, and you don't have money at hand, polishing farm tools, renting tools, eating and drinking, etc., if I ask others to pay the same money, I am not as reliable as the two of you, you can take it with peace of mind. ”
Lu Yougen refused, "Auntie, we can't collect money, the little benefactor has a life-saving grace for us, and we can't accept this money." ”
"I know that's the case, but you don't have any money in hand, and you don't even have a decent farm tool at home, so you have to rent it, and I give money to get the grain back better and faster, seeing that the autumn harvest season is about to pass......"
This talks about Lu Yougen's difficulty.
It is true that there is little money in hand, and because there is no field at home, there are few decent farm tools.
Fifteen acres of land have a lot of various farm tools to use, which cannot be bought and rented.
It's not hypocritical.
The autumn harvest season is almost halfway over, and if the day is not beautiful, and it rains again, the loss of grain in the fields will be even greater.
The couple worked hard to clean up the grain, and they could earn back the hundreds of dollars.
In this way, Lu Yougen no longer shirked, and accepted the money very embarrassed.
Xu Zhang's gave a few more words, then took them out and went to Xu Jiaojiao's field.
Show them the location, the direction.
Everything was said to be good, and Lu Yougen and his wife went home energetically and prepared farm tools to work.
***
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing sat on a sled, and within half an hour, they arrived halfway up the Bingyang Snow Mountain.
If you go up again, you won't be allowed to go up.
A few small servants stayed there, saying that there was an accident at the top of the mountain, and the mountain was closed and no longer allowed to go up to tourists.
also despised the dress of Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing very much.
"Dressed like this, and having the leisure to climb the mountain, if it were me, I would have gone to work as a coolie to earn money......"
Xu Jiaojiao......
Get!
Then go elsewhere.
After sledding the sled, she and Liao Qing stopped taking the serious mountain road and went to the snowy forest.
Originally, they didn't come to enjoy the scenery, but to try their luck.
Perhaps in the snow forest, the chance of the snow stone lotus appearing is greater.
Liao Qing is used to it in the mountains, he follows behind Xu Jiaojiao, where Xu Jiaojiao goes, where he goes.
A pair of eagle-like vigilant eyes, patrolling the woods.
I want to find the small, lotus-shaped little insect that Xu Jiaojiao described.
And most importantly, not to be bitten yet.
In this kind of weather, it is not very likely that insects will burrow into the body and bite, and the only possibility is that it will be mixed with the wind and snow in the face......
Liao Qing thought of this, and asked Xu Jiaojiao to fasten her thick cotton hat, and both of them were left with only a pair of dark eyes, exposed.
From a distance, Liao Qing was a black ball.
Xu Jiaojiao is a ball of red.
