After returning home, Chu Xiumei found the Chu family, and the Chu Dynasty also found two men from the same village to help, both of whom are well-known diligent people, and they will never be cheating and slippery in doing things, which is exactly what the Chu Dynasty is more interested in.
Ran Wenyue also went to Qinggang Village to find Wang Tiezhu and Liu Dashan for help, it just so happened that several of their cousins were not busy, and they were also diligent and honest, so Ran Wenyue called them over by the way.
plus the people of the Chu family, seventeen or eighteen people, just repairing the house in the Grange, and they can finish everything before the New Year.
After explaining it to them clearly, early the next morning, Ran Wenyue's family cleaned up and set off with people, this time there was no carriage, everyone set off in an ox cart.
It was the first time for the people of the Chu family to see it, and after being surprised, Chu Chao looked at Ran Wenyue and Chu Xiumei and said: "Your grange is good, but just like you, a woman with a child, will it be unsafe to live here, it's too dangerous, or wait for tomorrow to buy some people to come back and guard, and you can also help work together." ”
"Big brother is right, I didn't even think of this." Listening to Chu Chao's words, Chu Xiumei nodded.
At the door of the grange, Ran Wenyue knocked on the gong and drum in her hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, fellow villagers, elders, aunts, uncles and uncles, this is it, please help, men are paid twenty wen a day, women are ten wen, if you can get the grange done before the New Year, there will be a reward." ”
"This grange is so big!" Someone looked at the Grange and sighed.
"It's going to take a few months!" Someone said happily.
"No, there are still seven months to go before the New Year, and with these wages, we should be able to have a good year this year!"
……
The crowd was delighted.
"It's autumn now, and it's not far from the New Year, everyone work hard!" Chu Chao shouted loudly, with a smile on his face, now that he has passed the time of scarcity, the money he just got can also be used to improve everyone's life.
Ran Wenyue then said: "You are all elders, we have something to say, I will say ugly things in front, don't cheat and cheat because we are all people we know, as long as everyone can work hard, we will not treat everyone badly!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll handle things appropriately." One by one, the men smiled and assured that as long as they were helpers, they would be called the owner here.
"Alright, let's roll up our sleeves and get going! Again, as long as the completion is completed before the Chinese New Year, there will be a reward! Ran Wenyue beat the gong and drum in her hand with a bang, and then took out a generation of broken silver from her arms, shook it, and the sound of the silver in her pocket colliding.
"Thank you, thank you!" With the stimulation of money, the men are more energetic in doing things, and the pace of running before and after running is fast.
A group of people had just started to repair the house with their fellows, but suddenly a group of uninvited guests came in front of the door, some with shovels, some with shovels, and some people brought a lot of masonry and wood in a horse-drawn cart.
Ran Wenyue looked at the middle-aged man who took the lead, dressed as a foreman in charge, but Ran Wenyue was sure that she hadn't seen him, so she asked, "Who are you!?" ”
"Girl, we were sent by Mu Gongzi to help you repair the house!" The worker in the lead spoke.
"Mu Jin?" Ran Wenyue looked at him and asked, if you want to talk about Mu Gongzi, he also knows a Mu Jin.
"It's Mu Jin, Mu Gongzi, Mu Gongzi knows that the girl is going to repair the Grange, so he specially sent us to help, and these materials were all bought by Mu Gongzi." After the foreman finished speaking, he pointed to several carriages behind him.
"Got it, you can go in and work." Ran Wenyue said after stepping back.
……
After an afternoon of tidying up, the houses in this village look a lot better, and the houses that could have been inhabited have long been cleaned up and tidy.
"Everyone, it's time to eat!" Chu Xiumei shouted at the top of her voice, the eldest aunt, second aunt and fourth uncle of the Chu family helped bring the food in the kitchen to the table, and today it was full of pots of dishes.
As soon as I heard that it was time to eat, it was not too early to look at the sky, and everyone packed up their things and came down from their respective posts.
