Chapter 123: Hiring People
"Uncle Sun, take a break and eat." Xu Yi walked into the ground and shouted loudly.
"Hey!" Uncle Sun turned his head to take a look, slowly stood up, and walked towards Xu Yi.
In fact, Uncle Sun is only in his early fifties, and his body is quite tough, except for a slight problem with his waist, everything else is fine. In particular, the mind is more flexible, and he usually makes a small business, although he is not rich and expensive, but the basic life can still be guaranteed.
Unlike some farmers, when the farm is not working, they wander around, either playing mahjong or drinking. The already poor jingle sounded, and this toss made it even poorer.
"Uncle, eat it while it's hot." Xu Yi took a big bowl of rice and handed it to Uncle Sun, and put the meat and vegetables in front of Uncle Sun.
"So much meat? Uncle can't finish eating, you should eat it quickly. "Uncle Sun is happy.
"Uncle, you are delicious, I will scoop you a bowl of rice soup again."
"Uh-huh!" Uncle Sun picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, and then picked up the meat and put it in his mouth, feeling extraordinarily fragrant.
Xu Yi watched Uncle Sun's gobbling and secretly swallowed his saliva. I've been busy all morning, and I'm already hungry. In fact, there are bowls and chopsticks, and there are a lot of meals, so you can eat them together. But she couldn't move the chopsticks, and she had to let Uncle Sun eat enough.
After eating a big bowl of rice, Uncle Sun slowly drank half a bowl of rice soup and blinked his lips comfortably.
"Uncle, I'll serve you another meal." Xu Yi took Uncle Sun's job.
"Actually, it's already full, it's too fragrant, and I'll eat half a bowl." Uncle Sun smiled.
"Eat more if it's delicious, anyway, you have to work, and you'll be digested in a while."
"Okay, okay, I don't dare to serve more, Uncle still wants to eat a few more pieces of meat. There are so many meals, you should hurry up and eat them. Alas...... City dolls, it's really a sin to come to our country. This is full of soil, I'm afraid I won't get used to it, right? “
"Uncle, I was really not used to it when I first came to the meeting, but now I'm used to it. And this soil is very clean, unlike the dust in the city, I don't know what it is, and if you eat it, you will really get sick. Then I'll eat, I'm really a little hungry, hehe......"
"You baby, are you polite to your uncle? Really...... By the way, school is on holiday, right? ”
"I put it yesterday, and I have a half-moon autumn holiday."
Village schools, including village schools, have an annual autumn holiday. It is usually half a month, and it takes at least ten days.
Grain is the foundation for peasants' survival, and autumn grain accounts for the vast majority of the year's grain, and many families have all of it. At this time, whether it is a school or other units, they have to make way for the autumn harvest, the school is closed, the unit is closed, let go back to harvest the autumn, and get back the year's grain.
Of course, there is no need to harvest autumn in the city, and naturally there will be no holidays.
"In half a month, our buckwheat and millet should be harvested, and there will be only millet and artichoke left, so there is no need to worry."
"Uncle, I want to hire some people." Xu Yi ate a few bites of food and looked up at Uncle Sun.
"What? Hire someone? What for? Uncle Sun looked at Xu Yi and was a little surprised.
"Uncle, we have so much land, you will definitely not be able to collect it alone. Zhiming and Haozi should be back in these two days, but they are only three people. If it freezes one day, won't the buckwheat be ruined? So I want to hire some people, hire a few more, collect all the buckwheat and millet, and then pull it on. The rest of the millet and artichoke are not afraid of freezing, so there is no need to worry about it. ”
"That's right. But where are the people now? Besides, can the hired people be reliable? How much grain will be wasted if you lose everything? ”
"Uncle, aren't you going around doing business? Why are you still so old-fashioned? As long as you pay for it, there will definitely be someone. Some people only grow summer grain, which will be idle, and some people will grow artichoke most of the land, so they will not be in a hurry, they can be hired. Didn't all those who didn't have labor at home hire people in the past few years? I haven't heard of how much food anyone has wasted! Besides, they are all suffering, who can bear to waste food? ”
"This is also true, the farmer, even if he does not give money, he will not spoil the grain, then he will suffer. I'm afraid that those lazy second-rate people, just like your fifth uncle's family, don't want money and can't hire them. ”
"Uncle, are you really funny, can a lazy second-rate person suffer like this? I heard that the fifth uncle's family eats and drinks spicy food outside, I'm afraid that no matter how much money is given, they won't suffer so much, right? ”
"Even if you hire good people, doesn't it cost money?"
"Poof...... Uncle, this is what you really think, right? ”
"This baby, isn't what Uncle said wrong?"
"Yes, what Uncle said is right. Uncle, I used to listen to you for everything, but today you will listen to me once and let me be the Lord, okay? ”
"Of course you can call the shots...... You can't spend money indiscriminately......"
"Just agree with me to call the shots, you don't care about anything else. Oh, I can't leave it alone, I'm going to find someone, you have to tell them what to do and where to do it. Xu Yi put the last few bites of rice into his mouth, put away the jars and bowls, and got up and walked towards the village.
There is a commissary next to the village department, and I will say to the person who opened the commissary, and let those who come to buy things go back to say hello, and it will not take long for the word to spread, and someone will come.
Before I entered the commissary, I heard the sound of talking inside. Xu Yi was happy in her heart, she was very busy, everyone who came to buy things came in a hurry, and she bought things and left in a hurry, how could she have kung fu and gossip?
Could it be that he came out to pick up work and ask for news at the commissary? Xu Yi took a few steps and lifted the curtain of the commissary.
There were five men standing inside, all of whom turned around in unison, with a light in their eyes.
"Teacher Xu, I estimate that your family will hire people this year, and they just happened to come over to ask, so they kept them. Just as I was about to find a way to give you a message, you came, hehe......" The seller smiled, quite happy.
"Thank you, uncle, then I'll take people away. By the way, bring me the cigarette...... Five...... Six, no, no, no...... It's not the economy, it's not the flock, it's the ...... Yes, it's the big front door. Xu Yi pointed to the cigarettes on the shelves and smiled brighter.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, the big front door is so expensive, how dare I enter so much? There are only two, and if you take them again, you have to go to the township supply and marketing cooperative. Why don't you take something else? There are as many as you want for a dime. ”
"You're a teacher, huh? No wonder it's so ...... I would like to ask, do you buy cigarettes to entertain guests or? A man in a blue hat looked at Xu Yi with a strong southern accent.
"It must be for you to smoke, it's a busy day, where are the guests? By the way, aren't you honored guests when you come to my house to work? Xu Yi smiled.
"Hey, teacher, don't you dare to say that, come out to pick up work and earn a few hard-earned money, how dare you be a guest? That's not ...... I don't dare to smoke such a good cigarette, I don't dare to smoke a dime of cigarettes, I smoke my mouth, how can I live in the future? If the teacher really had the heart to buy us two catties of dry tobacco, we would have had food rations for several months. ”
"Big brother, just smoke a few boxes of cigarettes, how can you smoke your mouth? Besides, there is no dry tobacco in the commissary, where can I buy it for you? ”
"Mr. Xu, some time ago, relatives from the south came to see me and brought a few catties of tobacco leaves. But I don't smoke, I'm so big and emphysematic, and I don't dare to smell smoke. Or, it's cheaper and give it to a few big brothers? The seller laughed.
"Great, give it to a few big brothers, it doesn't have to be cheap, you can sell as much as you want. Take the big front door too, let's go. Xu Yi took out a few tickets.
"Thank you, teacher, thank you." The blue hat happily carried the tobacco leaves and beckoned the brothers out of the commissary.
"Go home and eat first, take a break after eating, and then go to work in the fields." On the way home, Xu Yi settled.
"Teacher, we have all eaten dry food in the morning, and we went straight to work in the fields. If we can see it, we will stay. If we don't like it, we will leave immediately, and we don't want a penny. "The blue hat straightened the sickle behind it.
There are no blades on the sickle. It seems that if you put the blade up and take it out when you are working, it should be the way to work.
"How about dry food? With such hard work, why do you do it when your body collapses? Xu Yi looked at a few men.
"When you come out to work, as long as you can do it, you are already content, how can you pay so much attention? It's okay, let's work first, otherwise it will be delayed in the morning. Several men looked at the crops on both sides, their faces full of joy.
The peasants are looking forward to the success of the crops, even if they suffer a little more, as long as the crops are completed, it does not matter.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are some cunning laborers, who only hope that the crops will be thin when harvesting, and it is best not to grow a single crop in the field. Generally, wages are settled according to the number of acres, and the crops grow vigorously, and it is difficult to harvest them. The crops did not grow well, and they were harvested quickly, but the number of acres was still the same.
However, such people are in the minority after all. After a long time, others know the nature of this person, and they will never hire again.
