Mingyue crackled and said, Xie immediately stopped saying - well, she drilled the tip of the horns and made those women with ulterior motives crooked.

Mrs. Ming patted herself big. legs, "My granddaughter is right! Our family works tirelessly all year round to let our children and grandchildren live and keep our families fed and clothed, not to post our hard-earned money to those distant relatives who can't beat it. ”

As for why they are distant relatives, of course, it is because of real relatives such as the Wang family, the Xie family, and the Tao family, and no one wants the Ming family to do long-term work.

The Ming family has been helping them openly and secretly in the past few years, and now even the Xie family has been promoted to a wealthy family in the village, not to mention several other families whose family backgrounds are already quite solid.

"So, who are we going to use?" Not only Xie's, but even Tao's people came to her to have a relationship, but she has always been careless, no matter who comes to her, she only has one sentence "I have to ask my old lady".

"What do you think of Boss Zhao and his daughter-in-law? And her eldest daughter can also be, I think both of them are quite capable. It was Zhou who spoke, although there were more people looking for her to go to her relationship, but she was not as good at talking as Xie Shi, and she still preferred to liberate herself than to take care of relatives.

Just like Mingyue said, she didn't want to spend money to find an ancestor to come back and offer it, and then let the other party ride on her head under the banner of her relatives.

"Yes." Mingyue affirmed the two candidates she proposed for the first time.

Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law is very grateful to the Ming family for introducing them to the county town Doctor Qi, so that they can cure their own disease, so as long as the Ming family has something to do, she will definitely put down her family work and bring her daughter to help the Ming family.

has spent more time together, and Mingyue certainly knows a little more about their mother and daughter. This kind of sharp-hearted, diligent and capable smart person happens to be a good helper for her family.

Especially this lady is not the kind of person who has a broken mouth and a lot of things, even if this kind of person goes in and out of the Ming family, the Ming family has nothing to worry about.

Mrs. Ming also has a good impression of Zhao's daughter-in-law, "Then they can be whatever they want." I just don't know if people want to. ”

Mingyue waved her hand to signal that Mrs. Ming didn't have to worry, "Let's give her a salary of fifteen yuan a day, I believe she will be willing." ”

You know, those aunts and aunts who work in their workshops only get 12 cents a day.

They have to spend the whole day in the workshop, unlike Zhao's daughter-in-law, as long as the work is done, she can go home at any time to do her own thing.

As Mingyue expected, Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law really agreed very happily to let her eldest daughter Zhao Chunhua come to do things for the Ming family, and the Ming family said that they would give Zhao Chunhua fifteen dollars every day, and there would be another festival gift at four o'clock and eight festivals.

As for the things she has to do, it is very complicated, such as cleaning the yard, washing clothes, cooking and washing dishes, serving out-of-season vegetables, feeding the Ming family's many chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, donkeys, mules and cows... It's all part of her work.

But there is one thing that makes her happier, that is, Mingyue will guide her in embroidery in her free time.

Although Mingyue's embroidery skills are really average among the women of the Ming family, compared with the women of other families in the village, her embroidery skills immediately become outstanding.

In addition, she comes from the next generation, and if she puts forward a few suggestions for improvement, Mrs. Ming will be able to make a lot of new flowers on the original basis.

These tricks have helped the ladies of the Ming family earn money in the past few years, and now Mingyue is willing to give them to Zhao Chunhua for free, so it's no wonder that Zhao Chunhua is unhappy.

Of course, it's not that no one says sour words, many women who are relatives of the Ming family are very opinionated about the Zhao family, who have no relatives with them, but they refuse to use themselves.

What "who doesn't know that you are lazy and sloppy", what "I see that you don't want to work for Lao Ming's family, but want to make trouble for Lao Ming's family", what "You are a relative of Lao Ming's family, and the relatives who can't beat the eight poles are embarrassed to come out and say that they are relatives with others", and those women who were not angry said with a blank face.

What they didn't know was that Mingyue had already instructed her third aunt to strike first, and washed a wave of white for her own family first in the workshop.

Zhou is very good at talking, what "it's not that we don't pull our own relatives, but we can't spend money, but in the end we hire an ancestor to come back", what "whoever can do it, we will use whomever we can, just like this workshop, you are all selected by real ability", what "if this is a random person who says that it is my relative, my family will get rid of one of you to make room for her, then how can my family still have the face to meet you all in this village?" After saying that, the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the workshop were all enemies of the Ming family.

With them helping the Ming family to speak, the direction of the wind in the village soon changed.

And those women who can't work and can't enter the Ming family's workshop, and want to leave the relationship and are rejected by the Ming family, don't know anything about it, they complain and slander the Ming family until they say it, they realize that there are so many people in the village who are helping the Ming family.

***

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, all the people of the Ming family went to the county seat on a mule cart.

The workshop has not yet started, and the house and a number of poultry and livestock have been entrusted to the Huang family to take care of.

For this trip, Mingyue, who was "premeditated", prepared a variety of delicious snacks for the Ming family who took two mule carts to pass the long and boring car time.

"This is the first time I've gone to the county to see the lanterns, but I didn't expect that I could go to the county to see the lanterns once in my life." On the mule cart that belonged to the women, Xie Shi held a frozen pear with a look of emotion.

Mrs. Ming squinted her eyes and smiled, "Don't talk about you, it's me and your father, isn't it the first time we're going." ”

Not to mention them, many Wulitun villagers who have been buried in the soil have not been to the county seat to see the lanterns in their lives.

It's not that they don't want to go, but the cost of the road, the cost of food and accommodation in the county, these together are enough to make them shy away from the Lantern Festival in the county.

The Ming family also bought a house in the county, otherwise Mingyue would be fooling again, and the old man Ming would never agree to take the whole family to the county seat for the Lantern Festival.

According to Mingyue's scheduled itinerary, the group entered the county seat in the middle of the hour (ten o'clock in the morning), and the mule cart drove all the way to the Ming family's house near the county school, but Mingyue got off the mule cart with Ming Xu when he was about to arrive at the place.

They went to nearby shops and markets to buy, except for their own rice and noodles, green vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, bedding, and clothes, Mingyue had already planned to buy all the other things again.
