Chapter 52: Help the Wang family
"Auntie, this job is almost done!" Liu Yiyu was rubbing corn while chatting with Aunt Wang.
"This little work, the three of us will finish it in a day or two, Yiyu, you can go home after a break! You don't need your siblings to help you with this little work? ”。
"That's it, but Aunt Wang, I still have something to tell you."
"What's the matter, you say, what is my aunt listening?"
"My family didn't find some mountain goods and things to sell in the town in the mountains, during this time, my family didn't have enough hands, and they couldn't win, so I wanted to ask Sister Dahua and Ergouzi to help, and I didn't treat them badly, even if it was ten copper plates a day, I included a breakfast and lunch, auntie, do you think?" Liu Yiyu's mind turned around.
"It's not just to help for a few days, you don't need to give money, these are all trivial." Dahua patted Liu Yiyu's shoulder and said quite cheerfully.
"That's not possible, this job is a long time not to say, it's dirty and tired, I don't want to pay the salary, I don't want to go, plus, it's not just a few days to help, at this time, it's half a month, and it's a month's work, even if you go to the town to find a job to do, it's not the same to pay the wages, if Sister Dahua and Ergouzi don't want to be paid, my family doesn't dare to find Sister Dahua and Ergouzi, so I have to find other people in the village."
"Yiyu, did you tell your grandma and mother about this?" After Aunt Wang heard Liu Yiyu's words, she thought of the previous order to buy four acres of dry land for herself, I am afraid that the Liu family has really made a lot of money during this time, but Aunt Wang is also happy for the Liu family, and she is not jealous to inquire about what the Liu family used to make money.
It's just that Liu Yiyu's family has been busy for a few months, and it wasn't until the autumn harvest came that they looked for Dahua and Ergouzi to help, I was afraid that there were some mountain goods to sell on the mountain, and after the autumn harvest, I was afraid that anything good would gradually disappear, and I was afraid that Liu Yiyu had just heard his words outside the house, and Liu Yiyu had a temporary idea and wanted to help his family.
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang's eyes couldn't help but be slightly red, and her heart was quite moved.
"Auntie, now my family Yiyu is in charge of the house, I say it, my grandma and mother will not object, the matter is so decided, ten copper plates a day's wages, plus a breakfast and lunch, tomorrow Sister Dahua and Ergouzi will come to my house more than half of the time, and the aunt's time is not early, we should also go home, fifth brother, let's go." Liu Yiyu didn't wait for Aunt Wang to reply, called Liu Yihao and walked out.
"Alas, tomorrow your sister and brother will go to Liu's house to do things, everything is under the influence of righteousness, do more work, eat less, don't ask if there are other words, as for the wages given, we ....., we can't ask for it, you know?" Aunt Wang looked at the rice noodles sent by Liu Yiyu's sister and brother, and estimated that these rice noodles were nearly twenty catties.
Nowadays, the cheapest black noodles are sold for eight copper plates a catty, and if you calculate it according to 20 catties of black noodles, these rice noodles will be worth 160 copper plates, including brown rice and sweet potato noodles that are more expensive.
This price is far more than 160 copper plates.
"Mother, my daughter knows, my mother can rest assured."
Liujia bamboo house.
"It's done." When Liu Zhang saw that Liu Yiyu's sister and brother came back, he hurriedly greeted him and asked.
"Uncle Wang has already been entrusted to help with the purchase of land, and as for the matter of our family settling in Shangou Village, this matter will not be completed for the time being?"
"Why can't this be done?" Liu Li asked.
"The notice from above has come down, I am afraid that there will be enemy countries that will infiltrate our Celestial Empire, just in case, all towns and towns and towns cannot easily settle down for the homeless, and now they are in the limelight, it is useless to do anything, and when the limelight passes, we will walk around from where we are, and at present, it will not be able to settle down for the time being." Liu Yiyu explained.
"So be it for now." After hearing this, Liu Zhang also nodded.
"Grandma, my grandson still has something to say." At this time, Liu Yihao said.
"What's the matter, tell grandma about it."
"Grandma, mother, this year Uncle Wang's crops in the paddy field also died of drought, only harvested some dry field things, some time ago, after Uncle Wang's family paid the tax, the family did not have much surplus food, and also filled in some silver money, grandson, treacherous, our family is not every day before dawn to pick up cicadas to shed their shells, grandson thought, let the Wang family Dahua and Ergouzi come to help, our family to Dahua and Ergouzi two people a day ten copper plate wages, provide the two of them breakfast and dinner two meals, help the Wang family, In this way, it is good for grandma and mother not to work so hard, so that they can rest."
"Last year, the Wang family helped our family a lot, and now the Wang family is also having a hard time, and our family should also help, just do what Gorou said." Liu Zhang nodded in agreement.
After Liu Yihao heard that his grandmother and his mother agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Early in the morning of the second day, before the halfway point of the day, the two Dahua sisters and brothers came to the bamboo house of the Liu family and waited to work.
Liu Yiyu greeted the big flower sister and brother and walked out.
The big flower sister and brother didn't ask anything, and followed Liu Yiyu outside.
After passing under a big tree, Liu Yiyu pointed to the cicada on the ground, and said to the two sisters and brothers, "Sister Dahua and Ergouzi, let's pick up these things, these things are easy to break, be careful, let's pick up these things in the morning, wash these things in the morning, and dry them."
"It's as simple as that?". Dahua thought that it would be heavy and tiring work, but with such a simple job, the Liu family could do it, where did they need their own sisters and brothers to help.
"Where is it simple, these are delicate jobs, and there will be busy later?"
Seeing that the Liu family sisters and brothers were busy working together, the big flower sisters and brothers glanced at each other, bent down neatly with their hands and feet, and picked up the shells that had only faded from the monkeys.
After working early in the morning, after picking up the cicada shells under the ground of the big tree brushed with lard, it was already time, and Liu Yiyu beckoned him home for dinner.
After the big flower sister and brother put their things at the Liu family, the big flower sister and brother were about to leave and refused to eat at the Liu family.
Liu Yiyu hurriedly pulled the big flower sister and brother and said, "Aren't we going to talk about it?" Ten copper plates a day, two meals, breakfast and dinner, you haven't eaten breakfast, how can you go? Again, Sister Dahua, Yiyu is angry, your sisters and brothers don't look down on the food of Yiyu's family, and your sisters and brothers are like this, so I have to ask other people in the village to help."
When the second dog looked at the food on the table, the aroma came to his nose, and the second dog swallowed his saliva with some greed, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the food.
"Sister Yiyu, you are not tired at all in this work, it is very easy, you can do it with your own family."
