Chapter 205: Zeng Zhen's Family
Yes, this Mrs. Liu is really making the best use of it. In this regard, we also make the most thorough use of human resources.
Mrs. Liu heard the knock on the door and also put down the bowl. When I came out, it was Wan's mother and daughter, her fat eyes narrowed into a line.
"Yo yo, it's the shopkeeper Wan, I just said that it's early in the morning, where did the wind come from to blow our house so brightly, co-author, it's Sister Wan, you want to come." In fact, Wan's is even younger than her. It's just that among the peers, they call others a sister or brother, which represents respect.
At this time, Mrs. Liu called Wan like this, which was to give the other party's face.
Wan Shi also hurriedly politely, "Where do you dare to be the sister of Liu Da's shopkeeper, I just heard that you have a good character here and act well." So I took my daughter to pick a few people to wait at home. Our family still lives in the countryside, and the people we usually pick are estimated to be some who can do work. ”
Mrs. Liu listened to Wan's request, and her eyes smiled slightly towards the cold early summer.
"That's right, what my mother said, if you want to be able to do the work, our family is no better than the Li Mansion and everyone in the city, and we are looking for people to be in the third, sixth, nineth, etc., are we now, hehe...... As long as you can work, people are not stupid, and they can look okay. ”
At this time, Mrs. Liu understood.
She turned around and led a few people into the backyard.
"Well, my people are still here. Recently, the weather in the north has not been very good, and many people have not survived. So I'm not a small number of people here. Look at it, and if there is a suitable one, take it away. ”
Take a look at the cold early summer, alas, my good girl. The people in this backyard are really crowded.
A rough count shows that there are no less than 100 people. It looks like it's still a family.
Others, threes, twos, and twos were getting together and talking to each other. Seeing that the owner was coming, these people looked at each other. Some hung their heads, looking shy and embarrassed.
But think about it, which of these slaves is willing from the heart. However, in the cold early summer, there is a calculation in his heart.
She and Mrs. Liu, who were still accompanying her, seemed to have no intention of saying their favorable conditions.
"I'm in this house, in fact, it's just looking for some fixed long-term jobs in disguise. If you don't sign that kind of servile contract, you just need the big guys to do a good job and be down-to-earth, and I will pay you every year. If you do a good job, there are additional rewards. Of course, after a long time, everyone has run in better, and the benefits in the future are needless to say. ”
"You say...... Don't sign a contract? Is this still a minion? Mrs. Liu was a little puzzled, she really didn't understand what this young grandmother did.
In the early summer, he smiled slightly. "People, it's not like a paper of contract slaves will be given to people to hold on one side, and each other has to have their own hearts, right?"
Mrs. Liu glanced at Wan with admiration, "Sister Wan, your daughter is using reason to convince people." Not bad, looks pretty good. ”
"Hehe, this method is only suitable for my current promotion stage, and the facts are clear about how to do it according to the individual's family. Auntie, don't get me wrong. ”
"Where can I misunderstand, you girl is thoughtful, what do I misunderstand."
Although these two people said such things, they did not whisper to hide the people present.
Many of the people at the scene are not stupid, and they are all listening with pointed ears at this time. As soon as I heard that I was unwilling to accept the family as a slave, everyone was excited. When he walked to the side, an old man suddenly knelt in front of the cold early summer.
"This grandmother, I, our family is willing to follow you to do the work, you can rest assured, I will do it well."
When Mrs. Liu saw this old man, she was also stunned for a moment. Xuan even nodded with Han Chuxia. "To put it mildly, your conditions are the most suitable for this family. Because this family is the last one to sign a servile contract, the reason why I will take them in is because they ...... The little girl elf, the elder brother is gentle and elegant, and he is literate. If I hadn't been affected by the disaster and had not been cared for by my relatives, where would this family have come to me? ”
When it comes to this, Mrs. Liu still feels sorry for this family.
"Oh, listening to Grandma say this, you still sympathize with this family."
"It's hard not to be sympathetic, I have always respected my wife for readers. It's a pity that this child's life is not very good. ”
"I see, can you call this family to me to see?"
Han Chuxia hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.
This man was in his last years, and when he was helped up, the old man's body was still trembling. It was evident that the man was hurt.
"Uncle, I'll take a look at your family first!"
"Ah, good."
After a while, the family came together. When this family has the old and the young together, Han Chuxia somewhat understands why this family can't be sold until now.
Because, just the old ones, there are three.
This family is not only the old man and wife who kowtowed just now, but also an old man in his seventies and eighties who doesn't look very good.
The other is five and a half years old.
The scholar's family seems to have only recently gotten married. The little daughter-in-law was holding a milk baby wildly, and was cowardly and quietly looking at the cold early summer, with a blushing face. It looks like people are delicate, it's just ...... This milk is looking for the owner, or is it looking for the side. Han Chuxia is really worried looking at the half-grown baby, while chattering on a milk, while looking at his own group. The baby is close to a year old.
However, this also has to be brought by someone.
The scholar also looks very thin.
However, such a thin person, who can't pick his shoulders and can't carry his back, such a person doesn't seem to be of much use except for eating. The girl who opened the door earlier was actually here. At this moment, the little girl looked at her with blank eyes.
"Grandma, I can work, I can work better than many men."
Looks like this is a second girl.
Han Chuxia smiled at her, and then his eyes fell on the third child not far away. This kid is not much younger than six years younger, I'm afraid he is only about ten years old.
The other three, the whole one is a little smaller.
With such a family, where can they work? Alas.
"Young grandma, I can knit and embroider, as long as I am given work, I can do it."
The little girl was still chattering and took the initiative to ask for credit.
Han Chuxia didn't feel impatient, but looked at her with a smile, "What's your name, little girl?" ”
"My name is Zeng Zhen, you can call me Xiao Zhen'er, my brother may have done his study, if it wasn't for the disaster this time, he could actually go to the examination to get the fame of Xiucai, but unfortunately, I didn't go. However, my sister-in-law is also a really nice person, she can read silkworm weaving and so on. ”
Han Chuxia listened to it and smiled.
"Grandma, what is the plan for this family?"
Grandma was asked, embarrassed again.
"They are not slaves, they say they are for a bite to eat. But there are also requirements, that is, I hope that at the right time, the scholar can take the exam. ”
This time, the cold early summer is completely understood.
For a showman, and then to deal with the next exam and the like. It's a money-burning job.
"This lady, it's not that I don't have to be a slave, and if I become a slave, it is said that I can't take the imperial examination anymore. I'm a kid, a rare scholar in a hundred years, if I don't read, I'm ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors. ”
"People in the countryside have always attached great importance to the words of their ancestors. This old man's family has not been eliminated. When Wan heard this, he understood a little.
"Okay, I know, this family, I'm going to do it. Grandma, your hard work expenses, as well as the cost of admission, I will pick two rough job candidates for a while, and then settle them with you, okay? ”
Mrs. Liu didn't expect this to really happen, so she hurriedly responded, "Okay, there's no problem." A few of you, hurry aside and wait, so that you can go live with your relatives in a while. ”
Wan's eyes rolled, trying to persuade, but finally stopped.
The eldest girl acts with her own success.
Seeing that she is not the one who spends money indiscriminately, thinking about it like this, she stands here obediently, just looking at how to pick people in the cold and early summer.
There are still a lot of people who haven't come and trained yet. According to Mrs. Liu, this group of people is just a group of homeless people she went to Nanshi to take in. As long as they are given a bite to eat, there is an owner who is willing to pick someone, and then give some money at will, and settle the meal money and the like, and she will take the person away.
I didn't expect that this time I would come out to pick people, and I would be so worry-free and money-saving. After all, it's just to give some food money, which is really not expensive.
Of course, Mrs. Liu's so-called food money, if she is sensible, she will not really just give people some food money.
In fact, this meal money actually needs to be given a lot. But no matter what, this money is much cheaper than a serious buyer.
This time, I picked it for work. But in the cold early summer, I don't want to just pick up the person who looks big and round.
One of her picks is for work. Second, it is better to be able to penetrate it a little.
After all, just because of his strength, he can't understand it if you say it for a long time, and so is such a talent...... It's enough to choke on.
Came to a pair of people who looked like brothers.
Han Chuxia looked at the man who was wearing only a belt and tattered pants.
"Are you interested in anything other than farming at home?"
"Mrs. Hui, I used to see people in the village doing carpentry work, and I was interested. It's just that people don't want to accept apprentices, so I can only watch. The long, slightly thin one replied, and Han Chuxia nodded, but did not say anything else. Looking at the slightly taller man on the side, "What about you, have you ever thought about learning anything?" ”
The tall man scratched his head, "I also thought about learning to be a mason earlier, but I don't know how to learn much." I'm a good worker, and I'm ...... Not much to eat. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Han Chuxia also smiled, and when he glanced at this person, it was obvious that he could eat, but looking at his muscles, he would be able to work. This cold and early summer is a little tangled, whether to pick this person, or not. Obviously, this man is only fit to do rough work, and if he is allowed to do rough work......
