Now they still have enough money in their hands to spend, and with that silver, it is not a problem to connect a small river to every village.

There are also many people in the village, and the young and middle-aged people are very good at work, and they are afraid that the yamen will not have enough money, and they even shouted that they can go directly to repair and do not need to be paid.

It's not yet time for spring ploughing, and the ground is still frozen, but if you dig it, it's okay, it's just a little hard.

In order not to delay the spring ploughing, everyone thought that they would hurry up and do the work at this time, although it was a little cold, but they were working with a hoe, and they didn't feel anything.

All the people are very anxious, if there is a river into the village, the growth of crops will not be a problem, they begged grandpa to tell grandma that they can't look forward to such a good thing, where can they ask for wages? In case the yamen runs out of money and drags it out for a few more years, it will be their own loss.

This year's spring ploughing will change drastically, and arrangements have already been made last year, and different crops will be planted in each village, and this year it will be implemented.

We don't know if we'll be able to get busy, so we'll have to do the rest of the work first, and don't pile them all together at that time.

After all, Lu County is such a big place, although there is money in hand now, it is very troublesome to arrange it next to each other, and in this way, it was not until the twentieth day of the first month that the construction finally started.

All villages are digging together, how many people can be produced, since we don't want to pay, Tiankuo did not force to give, there is so much silver in hand, it looks like a lot, Lu County is so big, spend a little here and there will be no more, and now it has not begun to make a profit, you must save a little flower.

Siqi said, "Brother Tiankuo, since you don't send wages to everyone, then you should always take care of the rice, my idea is to let the women in the village organize the village to cook together, and each person has a ration of meat and vegetables every day, which is sent by the yamen and sent over according to the time, which also reduces everyone's pressure, eats better, has strength on the body, and works faster, do you say okay?" ”

Tiankuo nodded, "You are better than me in this regard, you look at the arrangement, what food should be arranged for them every day is up to you, the silver comes out of the yamen, I have to go to the countryside to see everywhere these days, I can't always be at home, if there is anything, you will let Yongqing drive the carriage to take you, if you don't have to go out, try not to go, now there is no thaw outside, the road is very slippery, what if you encounter any danger?" ”

Siqi smiled and nodded, "I know, I'm so afraid of the cold, I don't want to go out if you let me go out, if you really have to go, then you can't hide, you have to be careful outside, don't freeze." ”

The husband and wife discussed and went their separate ways, thinking that they not only had to worry about the food of the workers, but also worried about the work of the workshop.

Before the spring ploughing, the men went to repair the river, the women parted part to cook for them, and some of them could spare some time to work in the workshop in addition to the work of the family.

The wool harvested last year has not been processed, and this has to continue to be busy for a while, although it is a big deal to repair the river now, but the previous work can not be left behind.

The rivers in each village start work together, then many people need to work together, the yamen has contracted their food, and they have to prepare a lot of things, if there is only one place, only buy some good ones, so that they can eat enough and have the strength to work, but in so many places, if they are all close to meat, it will cost a lot of silver in the long run, even if they have money in their hands now, they must plan to come.

Siqi formulated the amount of vegetables every day, and then let people explain it all, there are meat and vegetables and staple food every day, and he also bought a pair of pork bones from the meat stall every day, plus pepper and ginger, stewed for a morning, and then put white radish in it, and when it was almost ready, add cabbage, and make a pot of thick bone broth.

It's warm and nutritious to eat, and it doesn't cost much money to eat like this every day, so it's no better.

She doesn't have to go to the countryside to watch everyone work, so she mainly works in the workshop, and Tiankuo will go down to inspect it every two or three days, and sometimes she can't come back that day.

After Siqi came here, it was the first time she was separated from him at night, and when Tiankuo didn't come back at night, she still couldn't sleep.

At night, I went to find Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing to see if they were asleep, but the two sisters didn't sleep yet, so Siqi squeezed a quilt with them, anyway, every room here is a kang, and it is comfortable to sleep, not to mention three people, even if there are seven or eight more people, they can also lie down.

After coming here, the three of them haven't slept together, and they used to have to squeeze a quilt at home from time to time.

Although Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing were bought back by the Lin family, they have now redeemed themselves, and they have been together for so many years, and they are very compatible, they are really similar to sisters, and suddenly they are together again, very lively, you say two words and I say two words, and it will be late at night in a blink of an eye.

Siqi yawned, "It seems that I'm old, and I don't have you two to survive, I feel sleepy." ”

Zhou smiled and said, "If the girl is sleepy, go to bed early, what is old, obviously she is not yet twenty, and when she is young, she is too tired during the day, so she is very tired, and she is naturally sleepy at night." ”

She wanted to sleep, so they both went to blow out the lamp and lay down with her in the bed.

After lying down, Siqi was more awake again, but he was not sleepy.

Several girls continued to speak, and Zhou Xing suddenly said, "Girl, you seem to be very sleepy lately, and you have been married to your son for so long, could it be that there is a baby in your belly?" I've heard my mother say before that when a woman has a baby in her belly, she is prone to sleepiness. ”

Siqi also feels that she seems to be a little sleepy recently, and she has a lot of things to be busy during the day, as long as there is nothing important, she is easy to nap, and sometimes Zhou Hao Zhou Xing is still talking to her, she is already half-asleep and half-awake.

At this time, Zhou Xing mentioned that she was a little embarrassed, but she also took her words to heart.

"It's the same thing you say, it's just that you're usually busy with this and that, and you really can't take care of it, but you're a little girl, what are you doing with this? I'm not ashamed. ”

Zhou Xing smiled and stuck out his tongue, "I'm afraid that the girl will worry about other things, and I'm busy forgetting, if I don't care about my body, something goes wrong with the baby in my belly, what should I do?" ”
