Ziqing had just arranged things, the old man and Tian came over, and seeing that Zeng Ruixiang and Shen were not there, Tian asked Ziqing: "Didn't I tell you?" Find something to do for Sanmao and them, what I said doesn't work, and your father's words don't work? You don't send ready-made family members, but you send outsiders who are eight poles away. What's the matter, your father and your aunt are both out of my belly, not much closer than outsiders? I don't care, call your father, if you don't make this matter clear today, I won't leave. After Tian finished speaking, he sat down on the circle chair in the hall.

The old man glared at Tian and said, "I don't know how to say anything well, every time I have to be made by you like a black-eyed chicken, I just say this to you, can the child be willing in his heart?" ”

After the old man finished speaking, he said to Ziqing: "Ziqing, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want you, Sanmao is indeed different from Da Mao Guiying, he hasn't done anything to be sorry for you, and your aunt's life is indeed a little harder, it's better for you to listen to Grandpa's words and let him try it with you, if not, you can pick him up again."

Ziqing saw the old man looking at him, thought about it, had an idea, and said: "Grandpa, grandma, it's not that I don't think about Sanmao, it's just that my sister-in-law said first, and then, my sister-in-law's father used to do bookkeeping, and these things are easy to do." Uncle Santang is not an outsider, he has been helping us for so many years, and I really can't leave people here and outside. Otherwise, let Sanmao come over to help clean up the reeds, and I still need people, and I have to say hello to Master Luo. ”

"It's very tiring to clean up the reeds, he's still a child, he can't do that heavy work, just let him follow your little aunt to do errands, follow the experience, and go out to learn something in the future." Tian said.

Ziqing knew that she would not agree to this matter today, and her father and mother would not have a good time that day, and the Tian family had to make trouble for three days, so Sanmao had not done anything excessive so far. It's better to give him a chance to try it himself, to see if he can endure hardships, and whether rotten bamboo can grow good bamboo shoots, if it is really a good one. That's it, he wants to be as lazy and slippery as Da Mao, and Ziqing has also figured out a way to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Ziqing said: "This can't be done, if you want to do something, you can only clean up the reed field, and there is no shortage of errands around my little aunt." Sanmao doesn't have any experience, why should I trust him, I can't give him silver for nothing. What's more, you also agreed at the beginning, and the aunt's family can't calculate us anymore, so what's this? ”

When the old man saw that Ziqing was angry, he hurriedly said: "The reed field is the reed land." ”

"Then I will say ugly things ahead, if I am lazy and slippery or move something that I shouldn't have, I will quit without saying a word. I don't have a penny of wages, so that you don't blame me in the future. If Sanmao wants to do it, we will sign a contract. The contract states that Sanmao has to complete the work specified by Master Luo every day, how much Master Luo does, Sanmao only needs to do half of it, and receives 30 Wengong, you must know that Master Luo's big labor is only 40 Wenwen a day. If you can't finish it, don't go home and keep doing it, or work harder the next day, and if you can't finish it for a month, I'm sorry. I don't have a penny of wages, I don't support idlers, grandma, you also said, I spend money to hire who is not hired, I will give Sanmao a chance, don't think about just taking money and not working. Sign the contract first. ”

"It's all my own family, what kind of contract do you sign, can't you not sign it?" Tian asked.

"No, I'm afraid that you will regret it and make trouble again, I am a villain first and then a gentleman. To tell the truth, I didn't want to deal with my aunt's family in the first place, but my grandfather also said, Sanmao is Sanmao, don't kill him with a rod, I'll give him a chance. ”

The old man hesitated when he heard this, but he also wanted to see if the child was worth pulling, so he acquiesced, and Tian saw that the old man acquiesced, thinking that no matter what, Ziqing could really not pay the salary? Seeing that the old man acquiesced, he also agreed.

"Besides, I don't have a place to live, and I don't care about food. All the workers went home to eat on their own. There are so many things at home that we can't take care of. Ziqing added one.

Tian also knew that when Sanmao and them were studying in the past, the Shen family didn't want to see them, not to mention that later there was a matter of Da Mao and Gui Ying, basically the two families didn't even speak, and even the apparent peace was difficult to maintain. Besides, the Shen family is now busy preparing for Zilu's marriage, and there are carpenters and painters at home, and there are a lot of things inside and out, so it is impossible for her to take over Sanmao. Today's purpose is mainly to find a job for the child, although it is not a good job, but what Tian thinks is that Sanmao will be a good person, they are all relatives, who is embarrassed to care about him, and then he will receive the same salary, Tian's goal has been achieved, and nothing else will be cared about, so he responded very happily, where do you know Ziqingcun's thoughts.

When sending the old man and Tian away, Ziqing just opened the door, and saw someone riding a fast horse from a distance, coming straight to his eyes like a gust of wind, dismounting neatly, walking towards Ziqing with a smile, and coming to hold Ziqing's hand. The old man coughed on the side, Tian snorted, and Lin Kangping hurriedly let go of Ziqing's hand and greeted the two old men respectfully.

The old man still remembered that Lin Kangping shook his face at that time, so it was not very hot, not to mention the Tian family, Da Mao's stump was like a thorn, if it weren't for the old man who had told her thousands of times, he was not allowed to reason with Lin Kangping, because it was the Chunyu family who owed Ziqing. Otherwise, she would have questioned Lin Kangping a long time ago, so she didn't have a good face when she saw Lin Kangping.

Lin Kangping didn't care about this at all, Ziqing's eyes rolled, and he said: "Kangping, just now my grandfather and grandmother said that I wanted Sanmao to come over to do things, I agreed, don't worry, listen to me." Ziqing saw Lin Kangping's face change, and hurriedly said the conditions of the discussion with the old man just now, "Kangping, my grandfather is right, Sanmao is Sanmao, you just give him a chance, it just so happens that you are the main master, you go and sign this contract with him." ”

What kind of person is Lin Kangping, Ziqing looked at him with a smile, he still doesn't know what Ziqing is thinking. "Grandpa, since Qing'er said so, let Sanmao come to me tomorrow, before signing the contract, I will explain what he is going to do, rest assured, I will not deliberately embarrass him, but, it can't be because he broke the rules, so I will follow Ziqing's words." Do half of Master Luo's work, if he has no opinion, then sign it, can you see it? ”

The old man and Tian were stunned for a moment, but still agreed. After they left, Ziqing took Lin Kangping back to the house, boiled some hot water, prepared him to freshen up, and wanted to get some more casual food, but Lin Kangping held her hand and said that he was not hungry.

"What do you think? Thankfully, I'm back. Catch up, otherwise, you won't pay him in the future, and you won't be grinded to death by your grandparents and grandmothers? According to me, it's better to go straight out, I don't want to see his family, as soon as I see them, I want to kick them twice, and you have to stop them. It didn't affect my mood. ”

"Who called me aunt, they only think about calculating others, this time we will also teach them a lesson, come and not be rude. What am I afraid of? Isn't it you? ”

"If Sanmao does a good job, are you still ready to pay him?"

"That's natural, I guess my grandfather also has such a thought, to see if he is worth pulling. However, I am not optimistic about him. ”

After Lin Kangping washed up and the two sat down, Ziqing knew that he was in a hurry to come back this time to see the progress of the house, and then buy some tea and porcelain from here to go to Yuecheng.

"I have already agreed with Wen San that he will get married in October. After I got married, someone took over the shop, I bought a shop in the capital, and spent a thousand taels, and I wanted the two little guys who followed me to stay and take care of it, ready to sell some dry seafood and foreign goods. Twice a year, I go to Guangdong to deliver tea and porcelain, so I bring back some dried seafood and foreign goods. They are accustomed to doing it in the capital, and they are relatively reliable. By the way, I am in a hurry to come back because I am afraid that the silver in your hand is not enough, we have more than 3,300 taels of silver, I will leave you 500 taels of silver, build a house and yard should be enough, furniture and wait for me to come back next time, I have been in the mountains to buy tea every time, and have found some good wood, and I will pull back when the house is built, I have found a carpentry master, he will come with me. ”

"Then you will go out with 3,000 taels of silver this time, I still have the silver taels you gave in the old year, and when you left at the beginning of the year, you left me the rent of the shop, and I have a total of more than 200 taels in my hand. It's enough for you to leave me three hundred taels. You can take the rest with you, and bring some of the finest porcelain ornaments with you. Ziqing said.

Lin Kangping thought for a while and said, "That's also done, I'll be back in the fall, and I won't leave when I come back." ”

"By the way, did you just say that you went into the mountains to buy tea and go deep into the mountains? Are there any dangers? ”

Lin Kangping held her hand and said: "It's okay, I have some martial arts, the tea in the deep mountains is not only of good quality, but also cheap, and besides, it is not easy for them to come out, and now I go into the mountains to buy, which is good for us and them." Sometimes I also help them bring out some dry mountain goods, and I have been poured to the side of Yuecheng. ”

The two talked some gossip again, Lin Kangping wanted to go to the construction site to see, Ziqing also wanted to follow, but Lin Kangping didn't agree, saying that the construction site was messy, and it was all men, Ziqing had to give up, throw away his hand, and do his own thing. Anyway, this man is very capable, and he wants to be in front everywhere, and Ziqing is also happy to worry.

When they came back in the evening, Zeng Ruixiang and Shen heard that Lin Kangping was going to invite Sanmao to come over to do things, and they were a little puzzled, Zeng Ruixiang said: "Qing'er, Kangping, didn't I say it?" Don't worry about me, I've already rejected your grandma, why hasn't she given up yet, she found you directly, hey, find some reason, quit him. ”

"Uncle Yue, this matter has been decided, don't get involved, everything is up to me, I have already made up my mind in my heart, he should be good, otherwise, I have a way to let him go back by himself."

Lin Kangping stayed for a few days, went over every day to see the progress, and said that it would take a month to complete the entire clean-up work, because after cleaning up the reeds, the silt had to be cleaned up, and the silt had to be piled up together to dry it for fertilizer, and the pond had to be expanded, and there was also a small island to be piled up, in short, it was more cumbersome.

Ziqing smacked her tongue when she heard this, and said: "It's strange that Daddy won't let us buy it, dare to love that the cost of this cleanup is more than the silver to buy the land, no wonder no one will buy it, it's too cost-effective." ”

"In fact, it will be cleaned up and planned, and then we can also raise fish, grow lotus, and raise your favorite yellow eel, and we will not lose money." Lin Kangping smiled and pinched Ziqing's cheek.

While the two were talking, Shen led the two in. (To be continued)
