The words are divided into two ends.

Cai Ercheng and Liangzi hurried away with their bags and stepping on the moonlight.

"Brother Liangzi, do you have anything to eat? The lady prepared a lot of cakes for me, as well as sauce. ”

"Bring it, it's the same as what you carry, my mother learned it from my younger siblings, hehe...... "The grain is bigger than the twenty lumps, and it is stronger.

As he walked, the mountain road of more than 20 miles passed quickly.

At three o'clock, those who want to work come to the door of Qinjiazhuang and wait for the notice of the master's house, and there must be one hundred and ten people to see the personnel, and those who know each other will gather together and talk to each other.

Ercheng is the two of them in their village this time, but people from several surrounding villages also know each other, so they gather around and communicate with each other.

At the end of the day, the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion led Master Qin out of the mansion.

"Everyone, since everyone came to help today, let's talk about the ugly things ahead!"

Master Qin touched his beard with one hand and his protruding belly with the other.

"Rice, lord; water, for you to drink; The wages are settled in ten days, and there are a lot of you. ”

He paused as he spoke:

"However, there are pickers, those who arrive late and leave early, and those who grind foreign workers, this time it is not a deduction, but there is no money on this day!

If you don't have any money, you have to finish the day, otherwise it won't be paid for the next few days, do you hear? He paused again.

"Everyone squeaks when they hear it." Steward Qin spoke out in time.

"Heard ......"

"Heard ......"

…………

It took a while for the voice to finish.

"Brother Liangzi, this momentum is wrong! In the past, although he didn't meet Master Qin's requirements, he only deducted a little bit from his fifteen wages, but this time he didn't give it at all, this ......"

Cai Ercheng is very worried about doing day work, he has never heard of working in Qinjiazhuang without deducting money, if he wants to meet the requirements of Master Qin, no one can achieve it at present, and Qin's reputation is not a rumor.

"I think it's really Xuan!" The grain will also be worried, but if he will leave, he will have to pay thirty big money, and he is reluctant.

"Every day, I work at the end of the day, and I must work for seven hours.

Rest and eat at three o'clock in the morning, eat at the beginning of the next evening, as for the residence, now that the weather is hot, live at the foot of the mountain, save you some distance and have a good rest, and you can help the master work well after resting, hear clearly? ”

"Squeak again, everybody." The butler followed suit.

"I heard you clearly......" was a sparse sound again.

Master Qin didn't care how these people replied, and he didn't dare not stop working.

"Because you came from home today, it will take half an hour to get from here to the back mountain, and today is your first time working, and you are not very skilled, so,"

Stopped again:

"The wages are counted as eight cents."

The crowd fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone stared at Master Qin silently.

Old Master Qin looked at this group of mud-legged people with satisfaction and didn't dare to say anything.

"Alright, hurry up and get to work."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd, while he himself paced and dragged the fat dwarf camel back to the courtyard, and Steward Qin followed closely with Qian'er and Master Qin to retreat and return to the crowd.

"Keep up!"

Leaving the range of Master Qin, Steward Qin's thin and tall man stood out, the whole person was full of momentum, and his horse face was very long, and he was no longer a hunched shrimp man.

Cai Ercheng and Liangzi carried their bags on their backs, and followed Steward Qin with this group of short-term workers to the back mountain, and they didn't know for a while, let alone dare to say anything.

"Mother, where is my uncle? He promised Bao'er to pick mulberry fruit yesterday. ”

"Then why didn't you want it yesterday!" Zhao Jiao is taking care of poultry.

"I forgot yesterday, my uncle came back too late, he was so busy."

"Bao'er knows that uncle is busy, so he wants uncle to pick mulberry fruits for you!"

"But my uncle agreed!" Bao'er insisted that she was justified, "If you promise Bao'er, you will give it!" ”

"Then when Uncle comes back, shall we ask him for good? Uncle didn't do what he promised, and he was really wrong. ”

"Then what did Uncle come back from?"

"It's going to take eleven days! On the first day of today, let's remember the day together, okay? ”

"......" Bao'er was very unhappy, and the mulberry fruit that her uncle promised was gone, and even her uncle was gone.

At this time, there was a voice at the gate of the courtyard.

"Bao'er, come on, let's follow my brother to fish!"

Bao'er immediately couldn't sit still,

"Mother!"

I glanced at him and knew I couldn't keep it.

"Say yes or something?"

"Not near the river."

"Where's the fish?"

"The fish is ......," Bo'er snapped.

"Dongzi come in!" Before the voice fell, Dongzi had already arrived in the courtyard.

"Auntie, my dad is also going, and my dad asked me to call Bao'er."

"Then how do you say that your brother took you fishing?"

"Daddy took us fishing!"

Zhao Jiao was not at ease, and went out of the courtyard to ask, just in time to see Zhao Da coming out of Zhao's house with a fish basket.

"Brother and sister, don't worry, I don't have any work today, I happened to see that Huzi dug up a lot of earthworms, so I wanted to take them to play."

Zhao Jiao put her mind at ease, went home and took off the short-sleeved shorts on Bao'er's body and replaced them with long-sleeved trousers.

When they went out, she also closed the courtyard door and lifted the basket of clothes that had not been washed yesterday and walked towards the river, but she didn't expect to see the fifth aunt again.

"Fifth aunt, are you almost done?"

"No, wash the grain sheets today, the clothes have been washed."

"Alas, it's been almost a year since we went down the mountain, and we have little labor, so we have only reclaimed two acres of land until now, how many acres have my aunt's family opened?"

"I don't blame you, your body is inconvenient, Ercheng has never done farm work, how many years have you been panicking in this mountainous area, there are many old tree roots, wild grass grows wildly, it is inevitable to open the land slowly, and you can't rush to come."

Wash while chatting, and it will be fine for a while.

"When the water runs out, I'll let the stone carry it for you."

"No, you don't! No! When Ercheng left, he had already asked Brother Zhao for help. ”

"That's okay, if you have something, let Bao'er run, that little thing can talk about it even though he has a small mouth!"

"That's it! Ercheng and I sometimes can't talk about him! Thinking of Bao'er's ability to speak kindly, Zhao Jiao was also happy.

Zhao Jiao knows that if in modern society, Bao'er is also a normal child.

But both goods and people are afraid of comparison, Dongzi and Bao'er are about the same age, and most of the children of other families are like this.

may be taught by words and deeds, and she keeps teasing the child when she is still in infancy.

Although he was married to Ercheng at that time, after all, he was a sister-in-law before, and his identity was still a little embarrassing.

So every day, the two of them spend a lot of time to tease Bao'er.

As a result, the two of them chatted and brought out a small chatter, Bao'er has been able to speak well since she was a child, and she is not afraid of life, and she will "ahhh

This is not the case with other domestic children, the children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and under normal circumstances, most of them are older and smaller.

The eldest is still a child, how can she compare with Zhao Jiao, after all, she brought her nephew for two years in her previous life.

When I got home to dry my clothes, I felt like I had nothing to do for a while.

When Ercheng was at home, he could find work everywhere, but she found that there was nothing to do.

Finally, I went back to the room, took out the torn clothes, and prepared to dismantle and make diapers.

Three days have passed, Zhao Jiao is not used to the lack of people around her, and she is still the one who shushes her and asks for warmth!

When I woke up on the fourth day, I had dark circles under my eyes.

"No! It's better to find something to do for yourself, and at the same time, you have to think of ways to make money. ”

Zhao Jiao went to the firewood room to get an empty basket, and then walked to the field with a hoe.

……

Twenty miles away on the stone mountain, the hired villagers were in full swing to open the stones.

At three o'clock, the call to call it a day sounded, Cai Ercheng was as tired as a dog, he couldn't hold his butt and sat down, and only after a while did he take out the light salt water in the water hyacinth and drink it.

Meals are divided into groups, a group of 10 people, a total of 15 groups.

Cai Ercheng was in the third group, while Liangzi was in the fourth group.

The foreman came with food, one wooden barrel for porridge and the other for steamed buns.

Ercheng lined up to make a meal, or porridge with clear soup and two palm-sized multigrain steamed buns, at this time he couldn't help but be glad that the lady brought her cakes and noodle sauce.

Because this mountain is full of stones, there are no trees, let alone shady ground!

The sun is strong, and people in direct sunlight are dizzy, and they have to do so heavy work in such harsh conditions......

Because the amount of food provided is too small, many people have been deducted because they don't have enough to eat and don't have the strength to work.

Although Cai Ercheng is not hungry and does the work as required, who is Steward Qin? Isn't making excuses a piece of cake? I can't get a full job, but it's good to get twelve wages a day.

After eating half of the pancakes brought at home, he didn't dare to save it, one was too hungry, and the other was afraid that it would be spoiled!

After eating two pancakes, he quickly finished the porridge provided, and was picking up the pimple steamed buns to eat, when suddenly there was a whining cry not far away, and looking at the voice, it was Tang Qiang from Tangjia Village next door.

Tang Qiang's name is loud, but he is actually a thin monkey, and the whole person looks like ninety pounds at most.

I heard that his only son died of illness a month ago, and the children were all eight years old! Ben was sad, but his old mother saw her grandson breath and fell ill all of a sudden, and she was very sick!

When he was poor, he was afraid of illness, so he pooled money to treat his son, but his son had no debts and had no time to pay them off, and his old mother was about to catch up, so he couldn't come to work.

But the family is poor and has no dry food belt, and he can't eat enough all day these days, and his thin bamboo pole can't carry the fast stone, so he was deducted money all day long.

In the past three days, I have earned fifteen wages, and I can't make money and can't go, and my body will definitely be deducted more if I can't keep up in the next few days, which is in a hurry!

Zhao Ercheng felt uncomfortable when he saw him like that, and felt that he was choking enough to persevere, if he also fell ill, his family would really be scattered.

Although this person is inconspicuous, his brain is flexible, his temperament is free, and his popularity is good, but such a person in this world is useless, and he has the strength to eat well.

Usually it is also common on the mountain, thinking of this to walk two steps over, take out a pimple steamed bun, and give him his own pancakes one by one, he can't share more, he has to eat it himself!

Tang Qiang was looking down and feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly saw that the whimpering sound of the cakes and steamed buns in front of him had stopped, and he didn't look up to see who it was, he just took it over and ate it.

Ercheng was afraid that he would choke and handed him his own water hyacinth, so he went back to the same place and continued to eat the pimple steamed buns.

The other villagers were a little envious, but they also knew that Ercheng would not give them to them, so they continued to eat their own with greed.

After work and dinner in the evening, Ercheng and Liangzi got together to rest.

"Brother Liangzi, you don't have enough bread to eat me."

"Alas, forget it, I don't know you yet!" Liangzi was moved, he didn't bring much, he could only eat six loaves a day, and one loaf was not big, and everyone was hungry.

Twenty percent of the pancakes are eight pieces a day, and Zhao Jiao is afraid that he will be tired from hunger.

Ercheng didn't make a sound, and it was a waste of energy to speak, so he fell asleep with his eyes closed.
