That night, Yuan and Zhao Shanchuan, who had been busy all day, finally had a little time to breathe.

At the same time, the house banquet was held, and they began to discuss the future.

The first thing to calculate is the remaining savings at home.

Yuan took out the bag containing the silver coins, flipped through the silver coins inside, and followed, and couldn't help but sigh, "Remove the money for the banquet, counting the gift money of others, there are still two hundred and fifteen two hundred and four hundred and fifty dollars left in the family right now,"

"In the past few days, we have been giving gifts to ourselves, ordering dishes for today's banquet, paying the rent of shops in the city, and buying some tools and supplies for daily use......"

Carefully calculated, seven, seven, eighty, eight, and spent nearly eighty taels to get in.

Hey, it's a lot.

Zhao Shanchuan also listened to the speech, he nodded his fingers carefully, and then calculated the account with the Yuan family, "Our family started from the separation, and it was counted together, and we got a total of more than two hundred and ninety taels,"

"Among them, it costs twenty-four taels to lease a shop in the city in one year, and after signing a two-year lease contract, it is forty-eight taels,"

"Counting the tools ordered for the blacksmith's shop, it will cost about seventeen taels,"

"With the gift, I went to the city to buy, and I also went out for about ten taels,"

"That's not all, two years later, we have no restrictions, and we have the qualifications to be able to buy shops in the city, I'm afraid we will have to prepare a large amount of extra silver," and this money, even if it is purchased in an ordinary position, is almost more than 100.

And if they buy the shop they rent now, next to the main street, the price will definitely double.

He, thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that the more than 200 taels of silver left in their house will not be enough.

Not to mention, they can't just save money to buy shops, and in other aspects, they also have to leave some spare money.

Thinking of so many things in an instant, Zhao Shanchuan couldn't help frowning.

Similarly, the Yuan family on the side was also very uneasy, and she answered, "Yes, there is also the food for the coming day, and the daily expenses, always have to set aside a few taels for preparation," so calculated, don't look at the money left in their family is a lot, but a shop in two years will be enough to spend most of it.

Don't forget, after two years, the children in the family will also be older, not to mention going to school, the cost of alone will also increase.

Yuan's Zhao Shanchuan and the others were shocked, and at the same time secretly sighed, they didn't expect their family to be so miserable!

I thought that with so much silver in my hands, I would not be richer, but I would not be as economical as before.

But now, not only can they not live a rich life, but they have to be more frugal than before.

The two looked stunned, glanced at each other at the same time, and both were a little uneasy.

Because they just separated from each other, neither of them hid the family's finances from each other.

Speaking directly now, the implied impact is too strong, and it also puts a lot of pressure on the two of them.

"Hey, no matter what, we still have to take advantage of these two years to make more money," Zhao Shanchuan stretched out his hand and touched his face, thinking that now that there is nothing to do at home, he should also go to the city to think about some work to subsidize the family.

"I remember that when I went to the city to order furniture a few days ago, all the shops in the city had that odd job to do," although the money given was not much, but the victory was short and flexible enough, Zhao Shanchuan could go out in the morning and come back at night, so as not to stay in the city.

Zhao Shanchuan's words also provided some ideas for Yuan.

It's just that there are still three children of Zhao Yu at home, and the Yuan family can't go out to work like Zhao Shanchuan and work all day.

But she can think about it nearby.

It just so happened that Yuan remembered his good hunting skills, and felt that he could go to the back mountain of Meadow Village to shake while he was free recently.

"Then I'll go to the back mountain first, and hunt some prey first, "Don't look at the back mountains are the territory of the government, but they are not forbidden to go up the mountain to hunt, so there will be nothing wrong with the Yuan family going up the mountain to hunt."

"When the time comes, not only can you add some nutrition, but you can also save a lot of money for meat, and if you have more, you can also take it to the market and sell it,"

"Also, Er Ya also wants to open a sweet shop, as long as the shop doesn't lose money, it's still easy to feed our family," that is, the two adults still have to rely on the children, and some can't save face.

"Hey, what's this, slowly, there will always be a way, right now we are also rooted in Meadow Village, there will always be money," Zhao Shanchuan couldn't help laughing, "Compared to the life in Shangwa Village, we are already living a fairy-like life." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them couldn't help but want to laugh.

Indeed, compared to their previous life in Shangwa Village, their current life in Meadow Village has been bittersweet.

Then, the conversation stopped.

Time went by day by day, and Zhao Shanchuan also began to act, as long as he was fine, he ran to the city every day.

Not to mention, he really let him find a few odd jobs, but the time is too short to work for long.

Just when Zhao Shanchuan was struggling with whether to change it, Yu Dehai came with a news of recruiting workers in the city.

Well? Is there such a good thing? Of course, Zhao Shanchuan can't miss it.

immediately went to Yu Dehai's side to inquire about the situation, but it didn't matter if he inquired, he really let him find out.

It turned out that there would be road repair work every year in this month.

Road?

The reason is that the government hires people to repair the road, the reason is naturally that there is too much rain, and some flat roads can continue to be used, but some small roads will be washed away, so the government needs to repair them once a year.

Zhao Shanchuan couldn't stay idle, and after knowing the news, he deliberately found a vacancy, and went to Yu Dehai to inquire carefully.

As a result, when he arrived, there were many people gathered in the courtyard of Yu Dehai's house.

Zhao Shanchuan hurriedly inquired a few words, and found that the big guys came over for the government to hire people to repair the road.

Well? Could it be that there is something hidden in this that he doesn't know?

Zhao Shanyu muttered in his heart, and he didn't leave in a hurry, so he found an open space around, sat down and waited for news.

didn't wait long, Yu Dehai told the road construction in detail again.

It's similar to what Zhao Shanchuan investigated, but this time he knew that the road was built for about 20 days, and the roads around him were also washed out.

The salary is 80 yuan a day per person, but the government will take care of three meals a day.

It's a good job.

"This job doesn't limit the number of people, but in the end, there are not many roads around that have been washed out, and when the number of people waiting for the report is full, it won't be done."

Yu Dehai said that those who want to do this job should sign up quickly.

Now, all the people in the courtyard want to participate.

After all, you are not tired of living, and you can still earn a net of 80 wen a day, where can you find such a good job.

Zhao Shanchuan also took the opportunity to sign up, and at the same time received a notice from Yu Dehai three days later.

He went home happily and told Yuan the good news.

"What? You're going to build a road? Yuan was taken aback, and said in his heart that he didn't want to go into the city to find a job, so why did he do this.

Building roads is not an easy life.

In Yuan's heart, although she didn't know about the south, their family had lived in the north for decades, and for her, building roads was a matter of equating with tragic forced labor.

Especially in recent years, the conscription in the north has become more and more serious, building roads, walls, and ditches...... It's what these adult men do every year.

How did you come to the south now, and there are such things to do.

Yuan Shi thought about it and asked Zhao Shanchuan to refuse this job, "No, I'm too tired, and I don't get much money, let's change the job quickly." ”

When Zhao Shanchuan heard this, he didn't know that the Yuan family was treating the current road construction as a conscription in the north.

So he quickly shook his head, and at the same time, Yu Dehai's words became clearer, "This life is not what you think,"

"This life is good, close to home, three meals a day, and a net of eighty wen a day," Zhao Shanchuan gestured, obviously very satisfied with this.

"Not only that, do you know that those who have done this work can also be exempted from the relevant restrictions ranging from a few months to our performance, and when the time comes, our family can buy a field or a shop in advance."

This is also a point that Zhao Shanchuan likes, after all, when he comes to live here, everyone wants to live a better life.

What's more, he is not stupid, he specially inquired with those people in the village who have been here a long time ago, and they all said that the road repair organized by the government every year is not only not tiring, but also a rare good job.

In particular, those who have already participated have signed up with a shout.

There are also those who have little land at home, not only participated in the road repair work, but even inquired with Yu Dehai about the repair of the dock in Yeting County.

I heard that this matter has been rumored for more than half a year, and it is said that the government over there wants to recruit many people, and the big guys who have tasted the sweetness want to continue to make this money.

Zhao Shanchuan didn't think so far at the moment, so he just reported to repair the road for the time being, but if this job is really good, then he will also consider the matter of recruiting workers at the dock.

However, Zhao Shanchuan only pondered this in his heart, and did not say it to the Yuan family.

Yuan listened to the words, thinking that Zhao Shanchuan could not deliberately deceive her.

Maybe the road construction here is really different from the conscription in the north.

"By the way, I also heard that the road repair team also recruits some women who can cook and do chores, 50 yuan a day, and also three meals a day, do you want to try it too?"

Zhao Shanchuan scratched his head, suddenly thought of something and asked Yuan casually.

Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, pondering his own situation, "Yes," it's better than staying at home and doing nothing.

Although the customized tools in the city have been put into the sweet shop, the sweet shop has not been repaired in the end, and Zhao Yu is busy giving advice to the Li family these days, and he has no mind to care about his own sweet shop.

So during this time, Yuan was not very busy.

What's more, I just went up the mountain a few days ago, and I was full of ambition, but I found that there were not many prey, and I returned in disappointment, which made Yuan uncomfortable.

"Then you go in and ask now," Zhao Shanchuan still remembered what Yu Dehai said about the problem of overcrowding, and he was afraid that there would be enough people who would go late.

Yuan is not in a hurry, mainly because she is not very cold about this work, "Eat dinner first, and then go when you are done." ”

If there is no place, then she will be at home tending to the vegetable garden and fields.

Hearing this, Zhao Shanchuan touched his stomach, and he also felt the taste of hunger.

Nodding his head, he agreed.

Yuan hurriedly packed up and went to the kitchen to make dinner, while Zhao Shanchuan went out again.

There is no way, Zhao Yu's three children ran to the river and didn't come back.

Zhao Shanchuan had to go over and see the situation.

…………

By the river, Zhao Yu and the three villains were drilling around in a half-human-high aquatic weed.

In recent days, he has been helping the Li family with advice, and even proposed new food methods such as cold skin and cold noodles.

The Li family finally let go of Zhao Yu, and she also had time to come out and let it go.

It just so happened that they heard that there were wild ducks by the river, so the three villains went in to find out if there were any wild duck eggs that had fallen.

Not to mention, she really picked up a few wild duck eggs and came out.

The skin of the duck egg is blue and the size is larger.

By the way, Zhao Yu carried a small basket on his back, and did not forget to fold some tender wild vegetables, and planned to go back and scrambled the wild duck eggs he picked up.

When Zhao Shanchuan came to look for someone, he saw three small ones squatting aside, muttering about how to eat.

Shaking his head helplessly, he called the three of them to come back quickly, and by the way, he also drove back a few ducks raised at home and three big white geese that were raised without eating in their mouths.

By the time I got home, the meal was ready.

Yuan's preparation is very simple, that is, steamed rice with sweet and sour bamboo shoots pickled at home that can be eaten, and pickled eggs.

Zhao Yu looked at it, and hurriedly handed over the wild duck eggs and wild vegetables in his hand, Yuan took the simple washing, and finally fried a green vegetable with duck eggs on the table.

While eating dinner, Yuan also asked about the situation of the shop on Li's side.

As a busy person who works and contributes to both work, Zhao Yu did not shy away from telling the progress of Li's shop, "It's almost the same, and it is scheduled to open on the first day of next month." ”

The first day of next month? That is, the first day of August!

At present, on July 24th, there are less than ten days left, but it is quite rushed.

While eating, Yuan said in his heart that he was in a hurry, what if something accidentally went wrong?

If Zhao Yu knew this, Zhao Yu would definitely refute it loudly!

With the new recipe she provided, she was very ambitious, and she didn't worry about problems with the shop at all.

Similarly, because Zhao Yu is too powerful, even if she repeatedly shirks it, the Li family still gives them an extra share of 10%, which is to treat it as a reward for cold skin and cold noodles.

Zhao Yu was very embarrassed by this, and said that in a few days, she would have to come up with some food recipes.

…………

After dinner and cleaning up, the Yuan family was urged by Zhao Shanchuan to leave Zhao Yu and the three of them to watch the house, and the two went straight to Yu Dehai's house.

Yu Dehai had just finished dinner, and when he saw someone coming to the door, he hurriedly welcomed someone in, and asked again about the intention of the two.

Yuan glanced at Zhao Shanchuan, and under Zhao Shanchuan's signal, he said that he wanted to go to work on the road.

Yuan is a woman, and when she goes to build roads and work, she naturally does not work as coolies.

Yu Dehai frowned slightly when he heard this, and then figured out the key, "You mean, you want to cook and do chores?" "That's a lot of work, after all, there are a lot of people who build roads.

Yuan nodded, "Yes, I haven't had much work at home recently, and I'm idle too, so it's better to go out and earn some money and come back." ”

"Well, your cooking and chores are not heavy," Yu Dehai rubbed his eyes, "It's just tedious, and there is too much time delayed every day,"

Saying this, Yu Dehai was stunned, and then said, "You, can you really do it?" ”

It's not that Yu Dehai suspects, the main thing is that there are children in the family, and the whole family comes out to work, and the children can't stand it if they go out early and return late.

Especially Yu Dehai still has an impression of Zhao Shanchuan's family, the two of them have three children, and they are not big enough to grow up.

"No problem, the children at home can take care of themselves," Yuan patted his chest, feeling that even if they went out, with Zhao Yu here, they could rest assured.

In this regard, Yu Dehai did not persuade anything, only said that Yuan's name would be reported together at that time.

As for when to go to work, "If nothing else, you can go home and prepare for two or three days."

"The roads are all around, and the distance is not too far, so you don't have to worry about not being able to go home."

The two looked at each other and said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me." ”

Yu Dehai waved his hand and said that this was nothing, but it was just a gesture.

The two thanked them again, and said that if it weren't for Lizheng's enthusiasm, they wouldn't have been able to rent a shop and work again.

Next, the three of them said a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, the two of them said goodbye.
