45. Please work for a short time
Seeing everyone's appearance of gains and losses, Xie Xuan couldn't help but comfort: "You can't dig it yourself, you may not be able to dig up half an acre of land in the spring!"
What's more, it is not difficult to plant shed vegetables, build a shed and dig a pit, anyone can plant. The difficulty is who grows better and grows more! The temperature, humidity, manure ratio, watering, fertilization, and topdressing timing in the shed all require experience!
If the vegetable is sick, then it is a big piece of death, where can you easily learn! You see that the vegetables in Kyoto are so expensive to buy, not only because there are many rich people in Kyoto, but also because the cost of vegetable farmers is high. ”
Seeing that everyone was relieved, Xie Xuan continued: "It's just garlic, let's buy some garlic and plant it, although it is late, we can also harvest a stubble of garlic in the New Year."
But where do you buy leek roots? The leeks last time are still the miles we spend money to transplant our neighbors in the fall, and now they can't germinate even if they are planted with leek seeds, so they can only be planted in the spring of the next year, and cut two stubbles in the summer, one stubble in the fall, and the leeks are just stuffy in the winter. ”
Xie Qingshan nodded again and again: "It's still Xuanxuan who thought carefully, we haven't thought of this yet!" ”
"Let's add other varieties: shallots, bean sprouts, spinach, coriander, and shallots are planted in the basement like garlic.
Bean sprouts can also be directly distributed in the basement, soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, and black bean sprouts are all planted, with more patterns, and people also have a choice.
Spinach and coriander are hardy, just use a straw hut on the ground, and if the weather is good, you have to open the straw curtain to bask in the sun......"
Xie Xuan thought about it, let's leave it at all, they can't be busy if they talk too much, and her energy is limited.
This is not like later generations, there are many tools that can help people, such as greenhouse plastic film, seeds, fertilizers can be bought directly, thermometers and hygrometers can help observe temperature and humidity. Make a phone call, the excavator will drive over to help you dig the ground, everything here needs to be done by yourself, there are many tricks, but you can't take care of it.
So we discussed together, who will help dig the basement house, and where will the basement be dug?
"Isn't there a hill on the Zhuangzi? It covers a lot of land, to say the least, and it has two acres! It's bare on it, and it doesn't grow much food, so it's better to dig that hill into a hole, and there is a river not far from the hill! Watering is also convenient. Xie Pingtian suddenly remembered.
"Yes, it's easier to dig and don't occupy the field." Xie Qingshan made a decision, "Just dig that hill, and there is a vacant house on the Zhuangzi, just for people to live in." ”
Lin said: "There is no farm work in winter, my three maiden brothers, and my nephew, can all come to help!" ”
"And Qiu Niang's son-in-law can also come, his family just lacks a job to make money, so we can't take care of them?"
Xie Wang said that she was still thinking about her daughter Qiu Niang, "A few days ago, you went to the county seat, and I took the time to go to Zhouwa Village to see Qiu Niang and the two children. I don't know if I don't know, his father-in-law's illness before he died, dragged the family to the four walls, and my daughter suffered! The son-in-law is also looking for work everywhere, where is there some work? ”
She didn't say that she still left two taels of silver for her daughter, even if her daughter-in-law is sensible, she is afraid that others will have a mustard in their hearts.
"When the time comes, let Qiu Niang and her husband come over with their children, and you will cook for the workers." Xie Qingshan said, and said to the Lin family:
"Hongmei, let your brothers and nephews come over, and ask for short-term workers to only pack one meal a day at noon, and the salary is thirty wen a day, let's eat and live, forty wen a day, don't lose my brothers!"
Lin smiled and nodded: "After brushing the pot later, I'll go back to my parents' house and tell them to go!" ”
"There are still not enough people, at least a month to dig out the basement, or the garlic and shallots will not last long!" Xie Xuan silently calculated in his heart, and then spoke.
"Those honest people in the village can invite him, let's discuss who to invite, and I will go over to talk in person in the afternoon!" Xie Qingshan said.
In the end, a charter was finally discussed: the Lin family went back to the north to Zhuang's mother's house in the afternoon to invite his mother's brother and nephew to come over, Xie Wang's family went to Zhouwa Village to inform Qiu Niang and his wife, Xie Pingtian went to Zhuangzi to see the terrain, Xie Qingshan went to talk to familiar people in the village, and Xie Ping'an went to the grass shed to watch, saving people from stealing vegetables.
What about Xie Xuan? She was the most relaxed, watching the house at home, waiting for Han Zhengye to send someone to deliver the news.
At dinner in the evening, Xie Qingshan said that he had found ten young and middle-aged people in the village who worked diligently and did not play tricks, and discussed that they would give forty yuan a day, take care of three meals in the morning and noon, and eat and live in the Zhuangzi. Tomorrow morning, after dinner, bring your own bedding and working tools, and come to Xie's house to gather.
Lin also said: "My eldest brother, second brother and younger brother have come over, and I also brought two nephews over, the eldest nephew Lin Zhu is eighteen this year, and he is also a strong young man, and the second nephew Lin Chun is fifteen this year." My second brother said, just let him come to have a long insight, start a fight, and don't have to pay him, just take care of three meals a day! ”
Xie Qingshan said: "Where is this!" came from afar, even if he started, it was worth half a labor, so he was given twenty wen a day. ”
Seeing that her father-in-law is kind to her and does things, Lin also feels that there is light on her face, even if she strings relatives home, others dare not belittle her, and her two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law also have to remember her goodness. Lin smiled and responded.
When I went home before, although my father and mother and three brothers were happy, the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law were indifferent, especially the younger sister-in-law, who had always been unforgiving and stinging with cold words.
Although she feels that she is married to a good family, her in-laws are kind, her husband is loving, and although she has two children, she is naughty, but they are also sensible and caring.
The two sisters-in-law are not the kind of people who pick thorns and stir up unreasonable points, when Hui Niang is at home, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law is excellent. is that although Qiu Niang is quick to talk on weekdays, she occasionally offends people somewhere, and she is not a bad-hearted person.
Although the family is not such a wealthy family, it is not worse than the surrounding people, and the food and clothing when being a girl at home is also like this.
But I can't stand that some people just hate the poor and love the rich, and when she sees the rich family you marry, she will come up and say a few kind words, which is okay, she is not uncommon.
But every time she went back to her parents' house, when she entered the door, the two sisters-in-law looked at her hand first, and when they saw that they took more things, they had more smiles on their faces, and when they saw that they took less, their faces were faint. The younger brother and daughter-in-law are even more sour-faced, stinging people openly and secretly, and making people feel depressed.
It is better recently, his family bought a Zhuangzi, and the two children went to school again. Every time I go home, I take a lot of dim sum and roast chicken, and the smiles of the two sisters-in-law are also warmer than before, and the younger brother and daughter-in-law are even more accosted after running before and after, openly and secretly asking how much money their family has.
Later, because her father-in-law said that digging He Shou Wu was leaked anyway, she might as well be a personal favor, so she hurriedly went back and told her parents and brothers, and also dug a few trees and earned a few taels of silver. When I went back, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law didn't dare to do the same attitude as before.
Everyone agreed, and they all went to bed early, only Xie Xuan was bored with a thousand poems, lit an oil lamp and turned it over for an hour, and then slowly fell asleep.
