July, Bay Hill Village.

It's still very hot in July, and the same is true for Wanshan Village.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and most of the villagers in Wanshan Village are preparing for the autumn harvest in the next half of the month at home, such as the Ding family in the village.

Ding Family——

"Mother, I don't want to go." Ding Erlin, the second eldest of the Ding family, said to his mother.

"Mother knows, you are worried about your daughter-in-law, but Erlin, the salary given by Wang Yuanwai's family this time is a lot, and you can earn three or four taels of silver this time, which is more than you have done twice in the past.

And there's not much work, what a good opportunity, you can go, as for Chunhua, don't worry, I'll take care of her, there are so many people at home. Ding Erlin's mother, Zheng, persuaded him.

"But mother, this will be harvested in the autumn soon, and my father has also said in the past two days, the things in our field should be collected in half a month, and I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower in the family at that time.

And Chunhua too, she's about to give birth, and I don't want to go out at this time. ”

Ding Erlin is not the kind of person who says what his parents say, he has his own thoughts in his heart.

"Erlin, my mother is not forcing you, but you also know the situation at home, you go back and think about it, your brother Hu also said, let you reply to his message tomorrow, alas......"

"Mother, I ......"

"Alright, think about it." Zheng didn't want to say much and left.

This matter has to start in the morning, early this morning, Hu Laosan in the village knocked on the door of Ding's house.

It turned out that Ding Erlin, the second eldest of the Ding family, was a carpenter, and the king's family in the town wanted to marry his daughter and prepare furniture for his daughter.

The most important thing is to be urgent, you need to make the furniture in half a month, and the Wang family has a lot of things to beat, so the time is a little too late, and the Wang family is ready to invite two more carpenters to do it together.

And this job was taken over by Hu Laosan in the village, because the relationship between the two families is good, and Ding Erlin's carpentry is really good, so Hu Laosan only came to the door this morning.

The Ding family is an ordinary family in Wanshan Village, and there are currently nine people in the family.

The head of the family, Ding Dashan, is forty-eight this year, and his wife, Zheng, is forty-six this year.

The two elders of the Ding family have two sons, the eldest Ding Yimu, who is twenty-eight this year, and the second one, Ding Erlin, is twenty-five this year.

Ding Yimu married his wife Zhang, who is twenty-seven this year, and the couple has two sons.

The eldest Ding Youcheng, who is ten years old this year, is the first child of the junior in the family, he is a little pampered, greedy and lazy, and his nature is not bad, but he doesn't keep the door on his lips and doesn't speak well.

The second Ding Youxin, who is six years old this year, is honest and diligent.

Ding Erlin, married to Wang, is twenty-three this year, and the two have a son, Ding Youyi, who is four years old this year.

The couple is pregnant with another child this year, and it is expected to give birth at the end of August and early September, and because of this, there is something before.

Over there, the Zheng family went out after talking to Ding Erlin, and Ding Erlin sat by himself for a while and went to the room to find his daughter-in-law.

It was not early at this time, and everyone in the family was either in their own room or had gone out.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to go out to the fields with your father? Wang, who was embroidering, was a little puzzled when he saw his man suddenly come in.

The weather is very good today, and after dinner, my father-in-law said that he would follow his father-in-law to the field to have a look, and he shouldn't be at home at this time.

"It's nothing, I just met Brother Hu at the door, saying that there is a job he wants me to do, and the salary is more than usual, and my mother asked me to go, I was a little hesitant."

This time, Ding Erlin also wanted to discuss with his daughter-in-law, and he was also moved, but he was just worried about her.

……

"Where? How long is it going to go? How much is the salary? Wang was silent for a while and asked him, this has been a couple for several years, and he can still hear the heart in his words.

"On the town's old man's house, I heard Brother Hu say that the Wang family is going to marry a daughter, and the time is a little tight, if you agree, you can't go home halfway, if you go, it should take more than half a month, and the salary should be three or four taels of silver."

The relationship between Ding Erlin and his wife is still very good, although they have blushed, it has not affected the relationship between the husband and wife, and it is even better than the relationship at the beginning.

"That's a lot of money! That's a lot more than you're paid in the past. ”

Hearing that there was so much money in half a month, the Wang family couldn't help but be moved, three or four taels is not thirty or forty, and you can buy a lot of things.

"Well, quite a few."

It was precisely knowing this that Ding Erlin hesitated, he wanted to earn this money very much, but he was afraid that if he went, he would not be able to come back when his daughter-in-law gave birth, and he couldn't decide for a while.

"Don't worry about me, there are so many people in the family, nothing will happen, you can go." Wang felt that it was a pity to miss such a good opportunity, so he persuaded his own man.

"But it won't be long before the things in the field will be collected one after another, and I'm afraid that the family will not be able to keep busy by then." Ding Erlin was still very hesitant.

"Look at what you said, it's not that there hasn't been such a situation before, how can you really lack a person, besides, you can go to this trip to reach the family for half a year's harvest, which do you say is more cost-effective?"

Wang felt that his man was thinking too much.

"I'll think about it again, there's still time." Ding Erlin still hasn't decided.

As time passed, the temperature became higher and higher, and Ding Dashan, who went to the field, also paced home.

It is not yet the time for the farming, and the people in the village basically do not eat lunch, most of them eat twice a day, a little later in the morning and a little earlier in the evening, and the same is true for the Ding family.

Therefore, after Ding Dashan came back, the Zheng family called the family to the hall to speak, mainly for Hu Laosan's visit today.

"Old man, the third child of the Hu family came to the house today, saying that there is a job for Erlin to do, and the salary is quite a lot. It's just this Erlin, he doesn't want to go, anyway, it's okay today, let's discuss it together. ”

"Okay, you can say it." Ding Dashan said as he smoked his rolled leaves.

Ding Dashan generally doesn't care about the affairs of the family, unless there are some major events, otherwise the Zheng family is in charge.

"Okay, then I'll say it, that's the case, the third elder of the Hu family said that the old man Wang in the town wants to marry a daughter and make some furniture, but the time is a little rushed, and two more people should be invited to help, go for half a month, and the salary will be about four or five taels.

You said, such a good opportunity, Erlin, a fool, doesn't want to go, you say it's not angry. Saying this, Zheng felt angry, as if the silver had already been held in his hand but flew away.

"Is there really so much pay?" When they heard the amount of wages, the three people of the Ding family who didn't know were shocked.

"Really, you don't know who Hu Laosan is." Zheng understood their feelings, and she was like this at first.

"In that case, you can go to Erlin, five taels of silver!!" Before the others could speak, Zhang couldn't help it.

"Sister-in-law, there are not so many, people say at most two, three, two, three, four." Ding Erlin listened to his sister-in-law's words and hurriedly interrupted, in case he really went back and didn't have so much money, he wouldn't be able to tell.

"Erlin, what your sister-in-law said is right, even if there are no five taels, it is a lot, and our family doesn't know how long it will take to earn so much money." Ding Yimu also felt that this opportunity was rare, and he knew his own situation.

At this time, except for Ding Dashan, everyone in the family gave their opinions.

So, the eyes of the family were on him, and everyone in the family knew that as long as he answered, the matter was almost decided, and they were all waiting for his answer.

"Old man, you have something to say, whether the second child will go or not, five taels of silver."

Seeing Ding Dashan smoking his leaf cigarette there without speaking, Zheng was not happy, she was already anxious, how could she bear it when she saw him grinding and chirping.

"Okay, I know what you mean, Erlin, tell everyone what you think." Ding Dashan looked at Ding Erlin and said.

"Dad, I don't have any ideas, of course I also want to earn money, even if you see that the things in this field are about to be harvested, I don't know if I can come back in half a month, I'm afraid that the family will not be busy, and the spring flowers are about to give birth, and I am also worried." Ding Erlin's worries are nothing more than that.

……

Ding Dashan didn't say anything when he heard it, and then clicked the cigarette in his hand.

In the end, Ding Erlin still agreed to go to the town, and packed his things early the next morning and went to the king's house in the town.
