Chapter 190: Autumn Harvest
Erlang said seriously, "You are taking care of the land at home, and I also feel sorry for you who are too tired." Just hire someone, and you'll be more relaxed. ”
"We planted watermelons and tea in the field, and only a little rice. It took me two days to get it. You don't need to hire someone. Don't waste that money. We are buying mountains and tea trees, although there is a watermelon input, but we also bought a mule cart, so it is good to save some. Lan Niang said slowly.
This little bit of land at home is not a problem at all, and I am not tired at all. And then there is Jiro, who is not really a person who can't help the soy sauce bottle when it is poured. At home, carrying water, sweeping the floor and chopping wood, Erlang can be diligent.
I don't do as much work now as I did when I was a girl.
If it weren't for the fact that there was basically no land left in the village, their family's money would have been used to buy land instead of buying barren mountains to plant tea trees.
Erlang looked at Lan Niang's energetic appearance, had a toothache, and said, "It's just that we have less land, so we should invite someone." I'm going out to do business, our family has little land, and you have to endure hardship, it's definitely no problem. The problem is the board house and the stone house. ”
Unlike Lan Niang, who works in the fields and does all the housework. Both Huang and Xin have to take care of their hands, not to mention going to the field on weekdays, and they are all responsible for housework. The two of them will definitely have to ask someone to help.
In previous years, the board and stone were at home, and I asked my father and brother to help. Not this year, for the sake of business, I definitely can't take care of the ground.
I don't work at home, I go out to make money. Surely my brother can't come to help. It's unacceptable to pay the wages, and it's even more unreasonable if you don't pay the wages. Naturally, it's best to hire a short-term worker.
They all go out together, both of them hire people, Mo Erlang's family does not hire short-term workers, and Lan Niang harvests the autumn alone.
I'm afraid there are more people in the village who want to say sour things.
Erlang touched his chin and said, "Our three families have made a lot of money, and there are a lot of people in the village who are red and sick. Speaking sour words has a sour smell, and you can smell it from eighteen miles away. But it's about us men. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the women of the two families will be squeamish. ”
A woman's reputation is not good, but she will die.
Speaking of which, Lan Niang compromised. However, because of the Xin family and the Huang family, Lan Niang was always unhappy.
Lan Niang said: "I always feel uncomfortable. ”
Spending money on her own family, Lan Niang didn't say a word. Spending money on others, Lan Niang is not happy.
Erlang smiled and said, "If you don't think like this, I want me to let you rest, I'm afraid you'll work hard." I feel sorry for you. ”
Lan Niang blushed, and secretly said that Erlang is really not ashamed!
After the two of them calculated, Erlang found a stonemason and ordered a stone mill. Anyway, there are mules, which is more convenient and labor-saving.
When the family first separated, it was empty, but now it is full of life, and the household items inside are gradually added, and the room seems to be much fuller. The home of the two looks warm and happy.
After that, according to the plan, Erlang and the others continued to collect the mountain goods, and Lan Niang, Huang and Xin were at home.
Whoever hires a day laborer harvests the land, and whoever takes care of lunch. A total of ten short-term workers were invited to collect the land of Lan's mother's family first. After half a day, Lan Niang made a day's lunch. When the wages were paid, the wages of the Xin family were counted, not the lunch money.
In this way, Lan's family can be regarded as taking advantage of a little advantage. Lan Niang was not too embarrassed, and when she was waiting to collect Xin's land, Lan Niang rushed over to help cook.
Xin was very happy and said, "It's really good, but it's really a big job." Your family's food is good, but my family's will take a few days, which is a lot of money. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't buy that much meat? ”
