331 My grandmother was afraid that my mother would sue her
Grandmother Su heard the movement in the front yard and walked out, the old lady who used to be surrounded by servants now has only a middle-aged mother-in-law beside her.
Just this mother-in-law, the Su family still left people behind according to the salary of nine chips every day.
As for the rest of the family, they got up early in the morning, followed the army to the literacy class, and after noon, they were going out to work for Xu Jiajun.
There was a lot of construction in the city, and there were manpower everywhere, and the beggars in the city had to get up and work, and under the rule of Xu Jiajun, no one could be idle.
For the elderly, or widows, widows and lonely people who are physically ill and disabled and cannot work, the church in the city distributes porridge twice a day in the morning and evening.
When the Xu family came, they didn't starve to death a single innocent civilian, and let these marginal people who had a difficult life live a 'good life' that they didn't dare to think of before.
To work for Xu Jiajun, a day's salary ranges from 20 to 100 Xu Jiachou, because he has to go to class in the morning, so he is counted as a half-day worker, and ordinary workers can get ten chips in half a day.
Xu's two catties are heavier than the old ones, and these ten chips are exchanged for two catties of grain, which is enough to eat when boiled into thick porridge.
If you do heavy physical work such as repairing city walls, paving cement roads, and building houses, Xu Jiajun will also hand out a bowl of soup with oil and water on the construction site every afternoon.
The favorite thing for the families in the Su Mansion is to go to the construction site, and now that the master family can no longer restrict their freedom of labor, who is willing to stay in the house and serve the master for this soup that can occasionally fish out a piece of meat and bones?
Moreover, there is no salary for serving the old lady, before Xu Jiajun came, it would be good for them to get a hundred chips in a month, let alone think about any meat soup.
Now that Xu Jiajun is here, the families who have attended literacy classes have begun to settle accounts.
In Xu Jiajun, you can get ten chips for half a day, and three hundred chips in a month, and a subsidy for a bowl of meat soup every day.
Therefore, in order to leave two subordinates who served the grandparents of the Su family, Su Ci and Mrs. Su had to increase the wages and benefits of the subordinates in the family.
For the sake of everyone being acquaintances and getting along for many years, and the fact that the woman really can't do the heavy work with soup, this can keep people with nine chips a day's wages.
The situation was similar on the Liang family grange, but the time when she joined the Xu family army was a little later in the city, and Mrs. Liang was accompanied by many servants who were waiting.
Now when I look at the tragic scene of the old lady of the Su family who paid attention to pomp and circumstance in the past, there is only one servant left, and I can't help but smack my tongue in my heart.
"This Xu Jiajun has a new rule every day, so busy that people's feet don't touch the ground, their minds are dizzy, and I don't know what will change next." Mrs. Su sighed.
However, because of her daughter's marriage, she hoped that her in-laws who were far away in Zhuo County would also feel the power of Xu Jiajun.
Grandmother Su invited the mother and daughter of the Liang family to have dinner together, and a conversation meeting was held in the middle of the afternoon, and the mother and daughter, who had eaten a porridge meal in the morning, were already hungry, but they were not easy to speak because of social etiquette.
Seeing the Su family's grandmother's sincere invitation, the mother and daughter of the Liang family were grateful and followed the Su family to the backyard.
The meal had already been placed on the table, and the grandmother of the Su family came to ask them to eat.
Grandfather Su seemed to have eaten it, holding a copy of the Bright Divine Report in his hand, sitting on the grass futon in the courtyard, squinting at the sunlight and looking at it.
Seeing her grandfather squinting at the newspaper, Su Wen decided to take her grandfather to Xu Jiajun's health center to have a look at her eyes when it was the weekend in a few days.
The medical team of the Xu family came to the city, and the head of the doctor was the famous doctor Gu Weihe in the past, and Dr. Gu had brought the nurses to the school to give them a popular science course on physiological knowledge.
In class, Nurse Gan said that their eyes also need to be protected, and told them not to read under the dim oil lamp at night, otherwise they will become short-sighted.
Su Wen now suspects that her grandfather has a problem with his eyes and has myopia.
Nurse Gan also said that this problem can be completely solved in Xu Jiajun, and there is something called glasses, which can be seen clearly when you wear it.
However, the materials are precious and the price is high, and the idlers can't afford it.
"Wenwen, what is this word?" When Grandfather Su saw his granddaughter come in, he leaned out the newspaper in his hand, pointed to an unknown Xu family character on it and asked her how to read it.
At Su's grandfather's age, Xu Jiajun did not force them to go to literacy classes, seemingly disgusted that they were too inefficient and wasted teaching resources.
Of course, there are juniors in the family, and I am more studious, so I can learn the Xu family character from the newspaper.
Grandfather Su is self-taught, and occasionally asks his youngest son Su Ci, who is too busy, or his granddaughter Su Wen.
As for the nine-year-old grandson, forget it, if it weren't for Xu Jiajun's forcing children to go to class, this kid would have been kicked out of the school by Mr. Teach.
The grandmother of the Su family is most worried about her little grandson, and she has to tell him to listen to the class every day, for fear that he will be killed by the Xu family.
However, Xu Jiajun was very disciplined, and he did not kill students at will.
But the little grandson's repeated teachings were enough to make Grandmother Su worried.
Su Wen came to her grandfather, she didn't recognize this word, but fortunately, she had finished learning pinyin, and through pinyin, she read out the word "ไป", which looked simple but was actually difficult to read.
"Ah Weng, this should be a cramped ไป, but also a flat ไป, read ze ......"
Su Wen likes motivated old people like her grandfather very much, and her grandmother scoffs at the simplified Chinese characters of the Xu family, and she doesn't want to touch them, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
"These Xu family characters, complicated or simple, are not simple or simple, and they are not interesting to learn." Grandmother Su sneered at the grandparents and grandchildren in the courtyard and invited the mother and daughter of the Liang family and their daughter-in-law to the table, for fear that they would be hungry and panic.
The grandparents of the Su family did not go to the confiding meeting, but they also heard a little specious news from the lively discussions in the city, and when everyone sat down, they did not care about the rule of eating and not sleeping, and asked their daughter-in-law what the confiding meeting was about.
While eating, Mrs. Su told the story of Xu Yue leading the peasant representatives to complain about the grievances and killing a vicious gentry at the confiding meeting.
Speaking of excitement, I accidentally sprayed a grain of corn on the back of Grandmother Su's hand, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both stunned, you look at me, I look at you, somehow, the two of them couldn't hold back, and they both laughed.
Liang Xiaomei whispered to Su Wen: "The old lady doesn't talk about the rules anymore~"
Su Wen also covered her mouth and smiled, "She can't talk about it, now the women listen to the Church of Light, and my grandmother is afraid that my mother will sue her for mistreatment." โ
The two little girls glanced at each other, as if they imagined the miraculous picture of Grandmother Su, who had always been strict and well-behaved, being sued by Mrs. Su to the church, and couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Liang shook her head helplessly, glanced at Mrs. Su and Grandmother Su, and couldn't hold back.
Suddenly, there was a lot of laughter at the dinner table.
