Chapter 138: Earn the money and divide it equally
The mountain goods on the mountain are less in winter, the children go into the mountain mainly to collect firewood, there are so many firewood, but this dead branch or something can not be less, usually cooking this is better to use, no one is too much.
In the mountains, it was running and collecting firewood, and it was very fun for everyone to talk and laugh.
Now there are very few wild fruits in the mountains, and I can't take them to the town to sell them.
However, after selling it for a while, Siqi saved nearly five dollars of silver, which is a good income, after all, so many children in the family share it together.
The three brothers Lin Changfu put the firewood they got back next to each other and made them into stacks, and there were several stacks in the firewood room, and there were many piles under the eaves in the backyard.
The people of the Lin family have always been very diligent, so the firewood at home will never be enough to burn, unlike some lazy people, who know to go around all day long, and do not do business, and in winter there is no firewood to burn, and now go to the mountains to get dead wood, but it is not dry at all, put it in the stove, and the smoke is uncomfortable.
In winter, Lin Dezheng and Wu don't work in the field much, and there is not much work in the field.
This is mainly made of cypress branches, or yellow wattle sticks, piled under the eaves, broken after drying, and tied into small handfuls with straw, which is very useful for igniting fire.
Now that the firewood is ready, Wu asked Lin Changyuan to take it and go to the town to pull the cloth back, and there must be a new dress for the New Year, which is very important.
Liu and Xuan got together with Wanrong and the girls to do embroidery work, while the men cut bamboo and came back to make some things, and they had to make some new ones every year.
Lin Changyuan can't sit still very much, so he has to go to the mountains to hunt from time to time, he hunts very well, and almost every time he goes, he can get back the prey, but sometimes there are less, sometimes more.
Sometimes I only take one or two rabbits back, and I eat them at home, and send some more to the Gu family, and if there are more, I will take them to the town and sell them, the price is very good.
Because Lin Changgui has bad legs and feet, he can't go hunting at all, Lin Changfu can, Lin Changyuan pulled Lin Changfu together, and the two brothers took the prey to the town and sold it for money, and when they came back, the three brothers divided it equally.
Lin Changgui was very embarrassed, "Third brother, you and your eldest brother have worked hard to hunt in the mountains, and I will share your share of the money at home, which is really wrong." ”
Lin Changyuan said with a smile, "Second brother is out of sight, we are a family, you make baskets at home, this is also used by everyone, it takes up your time, otherwise you can also go to the town to find a job to earn money." ”
Lin Changfu also said, "That's right, the second child, we are brothers, you can't be so polite to us, I told the third child, in a few days we will go to the town to find a job to do, anyway, there is no work to do in winter, so you will need to take care of the family." ”
This is discussed by the two brothers, Lin Changgui has bad legs and feet, and Zilong Zijie has two children, and when they grow up, they will spend money everywhere for family affairs.
It would be too difficult for him to save all the money for their two daughters-in-law by himself.
The two of them came up with an idea, everyone would do everything together, and divide the money into three parts, so that they could justifiably give Lin Changgui a share of money, and it would not make him feel too uncomfortable.
Although Lin Changgui has a physical disability, his brain is still quite smart, of course he knows what the eldest brother and third brother are thinking, and there is nothing to say, everything is in his heart.
These days, the adults are busy, and the children are free, and there is nothing to get back when they go to the mountains, and they can't hunt, and they are really bored at home.
Zilong wanted to take the fish cage to the river to catch fish, anyway, the dried fish can be sold for money now, but the family disagreed, he was not big, it was too dangerous to go to the river, and no one knew if he fell into the river.
Wu sat by the door to make clothes, put the thread in his mouth and twisted it, and then passed through the needle nose, "You are not allowed to go to the river, your eldest brother and second brother will come back from school in the afternoon, if you have time, I will take you there, I can't do it." ”
Zilong flattened his mouth, "Grandma, the work at home is done." ”
Wu smiled and said, "You like to work now, go out to play after the work at home is done, you have been busy working all day for most of the past six months, aren't you tired?" ”
There was really nothing to do, so I could only take my younger brother out to play, and Mengzhu and Menghuan also went to the east wing to learn how to do needlework.
Whether you like it or not, girls still have to know what they should know, and these are all things to learn.
Siqi also went with him, but after sitting for a while, he became impatient, and ran to the courtyard to walk around, see Lin Changgui weaving the back basket, and go to see the Wu family making clothes.
Wu Shi glanced at her, "I can't laugh, this ghost is clever, and he is usually very smart, and letting you hold a needle is like holding a coal,"
Siqi squatted beside her, holding her chin with both hands, "Grandma, I just don't like to do needlework, let me do anything, just don't let me make clothes, I'll help you thread needles, right?" ”
Wu Shi wore another needle, and said with a smile, "Grandma's eyes are not good, and it is really a bit difficult to thread the needle, Cheng, you can sit here and help me thread the needle." ”
Siqi finally found something to do, so she passed the morning, and when Xuan's was about to cook, she hurriedly ran to watch cooking again.
The farmhouse is really idle in winter, tired for a year, and I can rest for these two months.
Running up and down the river before, Siqi also felt tired, but it was quite interesting, it was boring to stay at home like this and have nothing to do, and there was no mobile phone and computer at this time.
Lin Changfu and Lin Changyuan went to the town in the morning, the two of them were going to find a job, and now there is more than a month before the New Year, and they have been doing some household things and have not made any money, it is really not cost-effective, and the men in the countryside will go to the town to help at this time.
When they had just come back from town when the meal was almost ready, Linde was walking around the yard with his hands behind his back, and when he saw them, he asked, "How is it?" Is there any work left? ”
Lin Changfu nodded, "Also, there is a house in the town, just to ask for someone, I knew the person in charge when I was helping before, I and the third child he wanted, you can work until the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the salary is eighty yuan a day." ”
Wu smiled, "That's a lot, how much do people give?" ”
Lin Changfu took a sip of water, "No, it's this price, it is said that it is a house built by a family in the town, and his son has made a lot of money by doing business outside, and he has built a house for his parents to enjoy, and it is not bad for this money." ”
