Volume 1 Chapter 52 Someone Comes
On the way back, Qiao Xi thought that the three acres of dry land in her hand had not been cultivated, and the eldest brother had returned to the county school, and if she turned it alone, she didn't know how long it would take to finish it.
Looking at Qiao Siye, who was sitting on the ox cart to catch the car, Qiao Xi had an idea in his heart, since he had the heart to make friends with Grandpa Lin's family, why not ask someone to do the work directly and let the people of their family do it, it can be regarded as selling a good one in the village in disguise, now it is Grandpa Lin's family, maybe it will be used by other people's families in the future, who doesn't want to earn more money to improve their lives, so that their lives are better, and they are in their own village, why not do it.
"Grandpa Lin, Uncle Yun and Uncle Zhen have been at home recently or have they gone to do odd jobs?"
"No, farming at home, it's spring planting at this time, why are you asking about this?" Qiao Siye replied while driving the ox cart.
"Oh, I bought another three acres of dry land and wanted someone to help me reclaim it. I want to ask my uncle if they have time? "How did she forget about spring planting, and now everyone is very busy.
"Are you in a hurry?" It's best to have something to do, and this girl is not stingy, and the money she gives is quite high, if she can go to work with her, of course he is a hundred willing, I don't know if she wants someone to be in a hurry.
"That's not very urgent, I want to put this matter into practice first."
"My family's land can be finished in three or four days, do you think I'll let them go over in three days?" Fourth Master Qiao directly made the decision and responded to this matter.
"Okay, a day's salary is thirty wen, not including food." Qiao Xi knew that people like them were most concerned about wages and food, and by the way, they also said that if Grandpa Lin's family couldn't go next, then she could only find someone else, and the Hua family and the Li family could too.
"Hey, I'll tell them when I get back. I'll let you know then. "Thirty wen a day, higher than the town, almost the same as the county seat, anyway, it's close to home, and it's the same to eat at home.
"Well, Grandpa Lin, you don't need to drive the ox cart to my door, I'll just get off at the entrance of the village." Not far from the entrance of the village, Qiao Xi directly asked Qiao Siye to park at the entrance of the village, and she could walk back.
"Well, I'd better send you home." He collected so much money from others, how could he be embarrassed to let the family get off at the entrance of the village.
"No, I'll just walk back." Qiao Xi insisted.
"Okay then." Qiao Siye let the ox cart slow down little by little and slowly stopped.
Qiao Xi took the things he bought, waved goodbye to Qiao Siye, and walked towards his house.
Qiao Siye watched Qiao Xi's figure become smaller little by little, and then drove the ox cart back.
"Grandpa, grandpa, you're back. I'll pour you water. The little grandson Qiao Ye heard the sound of the ox cart, and ran out of the house excitedly, shouting vigorously, until Qiao Siye parked the ox cart, and the little guy actively went to the kitchen to pour water for his grandfather.
Fourth Master Qiao didn't stop him, but happily walked into the hall and waited.
"Grandpa, drink water," Qiao Ye walked in from outside with a bowl full of water, came to Qiao Siye, and carefully handed the water to grandpa.
"Xiao Ye, do you want to study?" Looking at the five-year-old grandson, thinking of Qiao Bai, the two of them are only one year apart, if you really want to care, in fact, you are less than a year old, this is the benefit of having a scholar at home, Qiao Bai has gone to school, and his grandson only knows a few words, those words are taught to the son of the family, grandson, otherwise they are the same as other people in the village, they don't know a big word, and the entire Qiaojia Village only Lizheng family and his family recognize those words, and others know their names at most.
"Yes, but it costs a lot of money to study." Although he is young, he also understands many things, and it is very expensive to study, and many people who can't afford to read are troubled by money.
"Grandpa will discuss this matter with your grandfather and your father and your uncle." Besides, whether their family is divided or not, his concerns about the idea of the youngest son, his daughter-in-law, and the second grandson, as long as there are people who oppose it, this matter can only be postponed, and it must be unanimously approved. "But there's no hurry about this, you're still a year away from enlightenment."
"Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry." Qiao Ye responded obediently.
"Arin, come in for a moment." Qiao Siye's father, Qiao Mu, heard the sound of talking in the hall and shouted loudly.
"Hey, Dad, come right away." Fourth Master Qiao touched his little grandson's head lovingly, "Go play." With that, he got up and walked into his father's house.
"Dad, what are you looking for me?"
"You want to send Saya to the school?" Qiao Mu sat on the bed and looked at his son and asked.
"I have this idea, but I'm not in a hurry, there is still a year before Xiaoye's enlightenment, and the most important thing is that everyone agrees, and you can't favor one over the other." Qiao Siye has always advocated a bowl of water to be even, and neither of his two sons is biased, he is on the side of reason.
"That's the reason, now that the family has this ability, it's really time to consider it. Koyoshi and Kosugi also asked what they thought, they couldn't just think about the first one of Koya, and the big two should also be considered. Qiao Mu very much agrees with his son's approach, and he can't treat any of them badly, otherwise there may be something like his brother Yan Wall in the future.
"Dad, don't worry, they are all my grandsons, and they won't care about just one." He knew what his father was worried about, but he was also worried about the open and secret fights between his brothers, and in order for them to love each other, he would definitely not care about Xiao Ye alone.
"It's good that you understand. Where did you go today? Why did you come back so late? ”
"Sent the girl to Juxian Tower, Dad, don't you know, the watermelon she sent yesterday was collected by Juxian Mansion for 300 wen a catty, and a melon can almost earn more than one or two, I am speechless." At the moment, he still has palpitations in his heart.
"That's what people are capable of, and it will be made without a sound. In the future, there may be a lot of benefits. If people ask them to help, don't shirk it. Don't play tricks with them, just do your best. "Qiao Mu can see clearly, this Qiao family has risen.
Qiao Song himself has already passed the Tongsheng four times, and if he is born again, he will be able to take the Xiucai exam, maybe there will be a Xiucai in Qiaojia Village in a short time.
"I think so too, today, Xi Yatou also asked Ah Yun and Ah Zhen, saying that they were going to turn over the ground, and they didn't eat anything a day. I took the job for them. "Fourth Master Qiao's feelings are the most real, since the snow disaster happened, he knows that he can't underestimate them, watching them change little by little.
"Thirty a day, that girl really dares to make a price." Qiao Mu's cloudy eyes revealed a smile, his two grandsons, who used to go to the town to work part-time jobs, were only twenty yuan a day, and that was not included in food.
"Yes, I was also taken aback when I heard it, but I couldn't say anything, so I thought that Ah Yun and Ah Zhen would help her work well." If you can do a long-term job on Qiao Xi's side, it is also a good choice, don't worry about your salary being deducted, don't worry about being faced, Qiao Xi's side is a village in the end, the relationship was not so good before, but it is not bad, at least the people in the family have not spoken ill of their three brothers and sisters.
"Yes, do a good job, maybe they won't have to go out to work part-time jobs in the future." It's the best thing to be able to do things in the village, and you can do it at home. He looked at that Qiao Xi girl was a good one, and her eyes were shrewd, who in the village could have such a mind.
"Yes, Dad, when they come back, I'll tell them that these jobs are all done, and there is no question of whether they are tired or not." It's all ordinary farm work, and it's the most familiar to them, and there's nothing difficult or not.
"Well, let's go rest for a while." He can't afford to take his sons and grandchildren to live a good life, and he can only be buried here for the rest of his life, but his great-grandchildren are different, they are still young, do they have to follow his father and them, squatting here for the rest of their lives. No, no, no, if you have the chance, you still have to go out and have a look, but only if they have the ability.
Now the two brothers of the Qiao family are studying in the academy, not to mention how much achievement they will have in the future, just look at the nearest that is Xiucai, as long as they are admitted to Xiucai, the status is absolutely different, that is, when they go to the county seat to see the official master, they don't have to kneel and so on.
In just over half a year, I bought such a large piece of land, and built up the courtyard wall, Qiaojia Village also has a large brick house, but the courtyard wall at home is still made of yellow mud and grass, which is like they directly use green bricks, the original one acre of land plus the purchase of five acres, six acres of land, such a big place, the courtyard wall is so high, each twenty or thirty taels can not be done at all, and even higher than this is possible, the price of green bricks is still known to everyone.
Qiao Xi got off the ox cart and walked leisurely on the riverside path, enjoying the scenery on the side of the road while walking, the road from the village entrance to her house is not long, it is not short, if it rains, it snows, the road is muddy, it is very difficult to walk, there is not a saying in the Celestial Empire that if you want to get rich, you must build a road first, and her business will definitely become bigger in the future, so does she want to consider repairing this road, anyway, it doesn't cost a few dollars, the road is repaired, and it is much more convenient to buy a carriage in and out, repair the road, repair the road, and must repair the road.
Qiao Xi had this idea, and the steps under her feet also took a step, and she hurried home all the way.
Before she entered the house, she felt that something was wrong, there were many strange smells in the courtyard of her house, who dared to trespass into the house in broad daylight.
Qiao Xi's brows furrowed fiercely, and she quietly put the things in her hand on the ground, slowly moved against the courtyard wall, until she came to the back of her house, and gently jumped into the house, moving towards the house from the backyard little by little.
"Master, this is your savior's home?" A girl's voice came from the direction of the kitchen and entered Qiao Xi's ears.
