When Sister-in-law Gu heard Zhang Sijiu's words, she was so surprised that she turned her head directly.

Then he looked at the Xu family, and couldn't help but say, "People say that your Jiuniang is smart and has a lively brain, I thought it was exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be true. The idea is good. Even if there are few jobs, we are idle anyway, and if someone tells us to go, won't we make money?"

Zhang Sijiu was embarrassed to smile when he was praised: Isn't this a conventional way of thinking? Where is the smartness?

Xu was different, smiling more happily than praising her, and said continuously, "Where is it? Our Jiuniang is just an ordinary child, but she always studies medicine in the city, so she is a little bolder. It's hard to say it's smart. Sometimes, though, she speaks like a little adult, and she can listen to it. If it's right, let's listen, and if it's not right, we'll laugh."

The words were said by Xu Shi so modestly, but her tone and expression, that is called a pride.

Sister-in-law Gu couldn't help laughing when she saw it, turned her head and said to Zhang Sijiu, "You second aunt, but you are a good aunt. You will have to honor her more in the future."

Looking at this posture, where does it look like an aunt? It's like a mother!

Zhang Sijiu nodded repeatedly: "That's a must!" In the future, I will provide for my second aunt! Take my second aunt with you wherever you go!"

Xiaosong Xiaobai, after marrying a daughter-in-law, just split up and go out alone. Save any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts!

Sister-in-law Gu and Xu both laughed loudly.

In the end, Sister-in-law Gu also promised Zhang Sijiu: "If I can really continue to live, my aunt will buy you candy to eat."

Zhang Sijiu stretched out four fingers: "Then auntie, don't forget, our four children are not allowed to buy only one piece."

This childish remark immediately made Sister-in-law Gu laugh.

Her hearty laughter caused everyone working in the fields to straighten up and look at her.

Zhang Sijiu smiled: Well, sugar can definitely be eaten.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the edge of the Zhang family's field. Just looking at Xu's expression, I knew that she was very satisfied with the work done by Sister-in-law Gu-

Even Zhang Sijiu, who didn't know anything, was satisfied: the rows of seedlings were really neat! It's as neat as if you have measured it with a ruler, and the horizontal and vertical intervals are the same! How to look at how pleasing to the eye!

Several women who followed Gu's sister-in-law to work are now sitting under the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness, and when they saw Xu coming over, they stood up one after another, looking even a little restrained.

It is not surprising to think that the first time they took on this kind of work, they were given a lot of money, and a person could share seventy or eighty dollars, which was no worse than what a strong laborer earned in a day, and of course they were very concerned, for fear that their employers would not be satisfied and would not give them money when the time came.

Xu quickly finished the acceptance, smiled and praised the Gu sister-in-law and them. Then he didn't hesitate, and directly touched the money out of the bag.

This is also a big amount of money, otherwise it is all a small amount of money, and the Xu family carries more than 500 of them, and they can't break their pockets?

Rao is like this, Xu took it out, and it was also a heavy string.

When it was handed over to Sister-in-law Gu, Sister-in-law Gu couldn't close her mouth.

And the other women don't even look elsewhere, just look at this side.

Zhang Sijiu looked at this scene, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart: although the status of women in the Song Dynasty was not low, most women had no channels to earn money in their lives, and they had never had the rational feeling of spending the money they earned.

It would be nice if there were more employment opportunities for women.

A woman who can earn money, whether it is a family status or a social status, can always be a little higher.

Even if it's just a little bit, it can make more women live happier lives, right?

After Gu's sister-in-law received the money, she was not polite, and immediately beckoned all the women to come over and share the money together.

In an instant, everyone's face was full of joy.

This kind of emotion can easily infect the people next to you.

After distributing the money, Sister-in-law Gu thanked the Xu family again, and then led the people away.

Zhang Sijiu and Xu also went home.

Looking at those seedlings, Zhang Sijiu sighed sincerely: "Second aunt, this work is indeed manual work. I think there are several of them

When I walked, I couldn't straighten my waist."

"When it comes to farming, how many people do you think can straighten up?" Xu smiled, but he was used to it: "Look at your grandmother, she is old, why is she a little hunched over? Isn't it a year of farming and bending over to farm? From sowing seeds, digging the ground, planting seedlings, and harvesting grain, which one do you say you have to bend down and look at the field?"

Zhang Sijiu was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "So, second aunt, let's work hard, and don't farm in the future."

It's too hard to be a farmer.

Life is too poor.

Xu Shile said: "Then how can you not farm if you don't want to farm? If you don't farm, what do you eat and drink? Although Komatsu is studying now, if it is not that material, he will not be able to earn money outside in the future, so he will not come back to farm?"

"It's the same with Bok. For us, we have land in our hands, and there are many ways to retreat. At least I don't have to starve to death." Xu glanced at the field in the distance: "If you have a chance, you still have to buy land."

Zhang Sijiu saw a kind of persistence in Xu's gaze. The farmer's attachment to the land.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why many people in modern times have the mentality of having the money to buy a villa, but they grow vegetables in the garden.

Only after suffering from hunger and poverty can we deeply understand what kind of guarantee the land plays for the survival of human beings.

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Then buy it!"

But buying land doesn't happen overnight. You have to meet the right one.

Far away, Xu doesn't want to buy, and close, most of them won't sell easily.

Not to mention anything else, the house that the Xu family wants has not yet been settled.

The matter of the Zhang family hiring people to plant rice still caused a lot of turmoil in the village.

Some people lament that the Zhang family is really developed and rich, and they don't even have to do the work in the fields themselves, maybe they will be able to hire long-term workers in two years.

Some people also lamented that the Zhang family's population was withering, and now they even have to spend money to hire people to do the work in the fields, so it can be seen that the importance of the prosperity of the family.

There are also some people who blame the Zhang family, who feel that the Zhang family needs help when they encounter difficulties, but they don't look for themselves, and they are really too unfamiliar with their own family.

The Li family belongs to the latter category.

When the Li family's aunt came back from sending the little pumpkin, she complained to the Xu family a little complainingly: "There are not enough people to open a sentence, my family is less? What do you have to spend this unjust money for?"

Xu Shile took the little pumpkin that he reached out to hug, "Come on, your family is also busy." When are you going to kill that pig? I'll start with the meat. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and the children in the family are hungry. The meat on the meat stall is still not tasty."

After eating the fat meat, what Xu thought about was castrated pork, and he even looked down on the ordinary meat on those meat stalls.

Aunt Li quietly lowered her voice: "It's decided, let's kill it in five days." Which piece do you want? I'll leave it for you in advance!"
