The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the people in the farmhouse are not idle at other times, except for the cold winter and the moon, which can really be idle for two months.

The grass in the field has been cut, and the grain of the family has been dried and put into the granary.

Then there were the odd jobs, and there were other crops besides rice, which were to be tended to, but they were not so troublesome.

Now the highlight is the weir pond they bought, and they have to wait to take care of it.

Previously, the Lin family's father and son had been digging for a few days, but they only made a corner, and the amount of work was quite large.

Lin Dezheng was arranging when he was having dinner on this day, "This weir pond is so big, we can do it ourselves, but it takes too long and is very troublesome, so we still have to find someone to help." ”

"Now let's see if we can find a few people from the town who specialize in work, or ask the villagers to help, so that you have to cook, which is more troublesome."

Lin Changfu said, "Dad, let's ask someone free in the village to help our family, how do you say that you have to give a few wages, and you have to invite a meal, which is also an income, if you invite someone directly from outside, others will talk about us behind your back." ”

"Because our family bought the weir pond, now what is being said outside is becoming more and more unpleasant, as if our family has made a windfall, and the big guys don't want to think about it, and we bought the weir pond for more than 20 taels of silver, and we also took it out ruthlessly."

Wu said, "What do you care about those broken mouths? We didn't steal or rob, we bought it openly, and no one could say anything, but whether we invited the people in the village, they were all familiar. ”

Lin Dezheng nodded, "Then ask a few people to help in the village, now the families are almost busy, and they can be freed up if they want to." ”

There are several surnames in this Tongxin Village, the two largest are the Gu family and the Lin family, although now they are all living their own lives, but if they fall to the top, everyone is a family, and they are related to each other.

If you want to do something at home, you naturally ask someone from your family to help, Lin Changfu and Lin Changyuan went on a trip, and soon found six people to help their family.

That's pretty much it, and the Lin family's father and son, with such a lot of labor, they won't be able to do it for long.

I didn't say anything about the remuneration when I shouted, it's like this in the countryside, it's normal to help each other, and I won't ask about these things.

If you are generous, you will naturally give more, and the food will be good, and people will come to help you next time.

If you are searched, the salary is less, and the food is not as good as other people's own homes, then if you have something to do next time, people will probably have to shirk it.

When the matter was settled, Wu said, "Then we have to buy some things and let the family help the family, we can't be stingy, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, there should be two meat dishes a day." ”

Now that the Xuan family is cooking at home, she is going to buy anything, and as soon as the Wu family said this, she nodded, "Mother, I know the arrangement." ”

I found someone, and the next day I was going to start working in the weir pond, and they had made those corners and corners really nothing, and I had to work for more than ten days to see this posture.

Zijun Zikang went to school, Zilong and Zijie are still young, and the others are girls, the Lin family feels sorry for the children, and they will not let them do these jobs, so the work in this weir pond has nothing to do with the children in the family, at most they will send tea or something.

Several children were not idle, Meng Shan still took the lead, and after the family was done, he took them into the mountains to find things.

There are so many treasures in this mountain, they don't know how to hunt, but they can get some wild fruits and herbs they know.

You can wash the wild fruits and eat them, and although they are not as good as the ones you bought, they have a different taste.

Find some herb cicada shells or something to save, and then you can sell them for money.

Entering the mountains, Meng Shan smiled and said, "We haven't been here a few times, according to the days of previous years, it shouldn't be long before someone goes to the countryside to collect it, this year we have made a lot of trips into the mountains, and we have saved a lot of things, which should be able to exchange for some silver." ”

When they heard this, everyone was very happy, and they had been busy all summer, so they had to exchange some silver.

Although it is not so hot in the mountains, it is summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes, they are still moving, if you sit quietly for a while, there will be a bunch of big bags on your body, and the mosquitoes in this mountain are very poisonous.

Recently, there is less work at home, and they have to be more free, and when they go to the mountains, they can get some mushrooms back on rainy days, and they can also shave some wild sweet potatoes from time to time.

Such a day is leisurely, although these things are not valuable, but they can bring people a full sense of satisfaction, thinking about it.

Cleaning up the weir pond is more troublesome than expected, and it took more than ten days to clean up most of it, and it seems that it will take several days to finish.

On this day, several children went home, ready to help Xuan's cook, but before they got home, they heard someone shouting, "Collect herbs, collect herbs......"

Everyone was happy, and Siqi smiled and said, "Sister, the herb collector is here, let's take it and sell it." ”

After a busy summer, she was also curious about how much those things could sell for.

It just so happened that they were about to meet the man when they went back, and when they walked up, Meng Shan smiled and said, "Uncle, our family has saved some herbs, don't you leave for a while, let's go back and get it, by the way, you can also take the cicada shells?" ”

The uncle smiled and nodded, "Collect, collect, everything in this mountain, as long as it is useful, I will collect it here." ”

"Alright, let's go back."

The uncle said, "How many of you have a family?" I'm just here now, and if there are more, I'll go back with you directly, and you won't have to go on another trip. ”

Zilong nodded, "It's a lot, we've been saving up for months." ”

"Okay, I'll just go back with you, I'm lucky today."

A few people brought the medicine collector back, and when Wu heard that it was the medicine collector, he smiled and said, "Go and take out the things and weigh them, and see how much you can earn." ”

This summer, they were really busy, they ran to the mountains when they had time, and they got everything useful at home, and now they took it all out.

The person who collects the medicine, these things have to be collected, and the price is calculated next to each other, and everyone is quite satisfied with the price.

The price of prunella grass and road yellow is more expensive than selling fresh ones, but this one is not weighed when it is dried, and it takes a lot of it to get a pound of sun.

All the things they had saved were sold, and the children were so happy that the medicine seller gave them the money, and when they looked up, they saw dried fish hanging under the eaves.

"Hey, don't you sell this dried fish? I'm looking at so much, I'm tired of eating too much at home, so I might as well sell it for a few dollars. ”
