After having lunch at home, Zhao Yunlan played with her little girl for a while, and after coaxing her daughter to fall asleep during naptime, she went to tell Ruiwen to take a nap too. After the two children were arranged, Yunlan instructed Mama Cui to stay at home and take care of the children as usual, so she took Chunxiang and He Wen to Zhuangzi.

A few days ago, because there was not enough timber to build the factory, the timber merchant who had originally negotiated could not supply it in time for some reasons, so Zhao Yunlan went to deal with this matter and was busy for a while. In the end, I bought all the wood to be used in several nearby villages, and asked the carpenter to re-polish and prepare it before it could be used, which delayed a lot of time.

The carriage drove into Qinjia Village, and at a glance, everyone in the village knew that it was Zhao Dongjia's arrival.

"Zhao Dongjia, I'm here to inspect again today!" A woman somehow learned a word to use it.

"Dazhu damn, you can let it, don't block the horse of Zhao Dong's family, your loud voice is careful to scare the horse to Zhao Dong's family."

"Phew, you are a Sichuan skin, you can't speak, just shut your mouth, you don't know how to be polite, you should be called a sister-in-law, it's just a matter of talking to me, and let the owner see the joke."

The man named Qin Chuan felt speechless and was at a loss for a while, and apologized to Zhao Yunlan, but there was still a sense of arrogance in his heart that he disliked the woman.

Zhao Yunlan in the car had already poked her head out when she heard the woman's greeting, and at this time she felt the atmosphere of some dispute between the two, thinking that the two of them had some stumbles before, but she didn't ask much about the reason, just said gently:

"Today, the school is closed, so I thought I would take a look at the situation here earlier. Two folks, you are both working in the Zhuangzi, or someone in the family is working in the Zhuangzi.

If the big guy encounters a problem at work, you can go directly to Qin Laoba, everyone is a villager, it is more convenient to say anything, Qin Laoba will also inform He in charge in time, and we will naturally solve reasonable demands for everyone. ”

The man of this woman's family is helping to build a factory on the Zhuangzi, with a smile on his face but sincere in his heart, thinking that his man has taken home more copper plates than he has worked outside before, and even the man can occasionally save half of the steamed bun to take home, and half of the steamed bun is mixed with fine noodles, not to mention that he brought back a small piece of fat meat to the child before. The more the woman thought about it in her heart, the less irritable she was about Qin San'er.

Why did Qin Chuan come to provoke Dazhu Niang, the reason is that he had some quarrels with this woman's man when he was at work, it was nothing more than who did more and who did less, and the copper plate in his hand was different, Qin Chuan's person was not bad, but he had an itchy mouth, commonly known as cheap skin.

Qin Chuan thinks that he is the one who does more and takes less, but judging from the recruitment situation on He Wen's side, Qin Chuan has no skills, and his physique is not tall, so he has only a handful of labor accumulated by doing farm work for many years, but such villagers in the village grab a lot of them.

Considering that Qin Chuan's family is indeed difficult, there are old fathers and mothers in the family who can help do some work, but the family has a large population, Qin Chuan also has two brothers, one elder brother went out to work in the early years and injured his body, and he can no longer do heavy work, and there are three and a half old children below. Qin Chuan's younger brother went to serve in the military for less than two years after getting married, and never returned, leaving only his two children and his wife at home.

Qin Chuan also has two children himself, and over the years, he has taken his daughter-in-law and children to drag his parents and eldest brother's family, and he has to help his younger siblings and those two children.

At a glance, Qin Chuan's family has a large population, but there is only one strong labor that can be used at this stage, He Wen thought about his wife's words, he could help a little bit, so he recruited Qin Chuan, and then he could only arrange for him to do some work that looked simple but required effort.

And the man in this woman's house, a man named Qin Zhuangniu, has a lot of strength when he hears the name, but he has learned the work of a carpenter before, although he is not as good as the professional carpenter master he invited, but he can also help to work on the side, and he can carry wood or something, which can be regarded as a dual-use, so he was assigned to the carpenter's assistant.

There are not many people like Qin Zhuangniu's workstation, just two or three. Moreover, Qin Zhuangniu is honest and responsible, and after being hired in, he worked very hard from beginning to end, so naturally the wages of these two people were different.

The village is always inevitably gossiping, Da Zhu Niang is also a chattering gossip, this is another time to meet her own life is better, the child is sent to school, and the husband takes the copper money back and saves a small jar, inevitably revealing some ostentatious tone.

The women chatted and gossiped together, Qin Chuan's daughter-in-law went home to talk about these things casually, maybe it was out of jealousy, or maybe it was for other reasons, plus Qin Chuan's broken mouth couldn't help but go to Qin Zhuangniu's stubble, Qin Zhuangniu endured it once or twice, no matter how honest a person is, he has a temper, and after being annoyed again, Qin Zhuangniu went back, so the two of them made such a small fuss.

Of course, as soon as Qin Chuan saw that the other party was serious, he also coaxed it, he was the first to cause trouble, and naturally he didn't dare to say anything after the loss, and the master carpenter mediated on the spot, and the matter did not start.

No, it happened that Qin Chuan came out to load bricks today and saw Da Zhu Niang, and he couldn't help his mouth. This is where the previous scene happened. Zhao Yunlan was reluctant to ask these villagers about the quarrels, if someone had a delay in the construction period because of the delay in work, they would be dismissed directly, so as not to delay their own process.

"Zhao Dongjia, we have nothing to do, thanks to Zhao Dong's family taking care of our village, so that the family can find a job without leaving the village." The woman opened her mouth first, not wanting to worry about Qin Chuan anymore.

Yunlan smiled, and then got out of the carriage, thinking that it was only a few steps away from Zhuangzi, and there were a lot of timber and stone bricks piled up in front of it, which was not easy to pass the carriage.

"You're Dazhu's mother." Zhao Yunlan affirmed.

"Eh, eh, yes, the owner remembers my big bamboo." The woman's face was wrinkled and her smile was uneven.

"Well, your Dazhu is a smart child, and his personality is not bad, I heard Dazhu say that there is a younger sister named Xiaoxing at home who is also a smart doll."

Da Zhu Niang was praised like this, and her heart was also happy, and she still said modestly: "Where is it, the little girl is a ghost." ”

"When will Xiaoxing be sent to the school, the child will definitely learn things quickly." Zhao Yunlan bluntly talked about the school's desire to enroll, and she couldn't talk about it when she chatted with these villagers.

Da Zhu Niang's smile was even brighter, and she said without perfunctory meaning at all: "Isn't this just waiting for the child's father to save up money again, and we will also send our daughter to the school after the school starts." ”

"Well, then I'll wait for you in the academy then." Zhao Yunlan got a satisfactory answer, I don't know what the situation will be after the year, at least now this woman can cooperate with herself, it is pleasant to listen to. After speaking, he turned his head and shouted:

"Qin Chuan, you come up a few steps."

Qin Chuan walked behind with a sharp brick on his back, always paying attention to the movement in front of him, and when he heard the sermon to send the child to the school, his heart was also mixed. There are so many children in the family, none of them are sent to the school, seeing that many families with children in the village gritted their teeth and sent their children to the school, Qin Chuan also thought about it, but this tooth, he broke it as soon as he bit it, and he couldn't hold it up at all.

Qin Chuan took more than a thousand steps, still two steps away from Zhao Yunlan, worried that the bricks in the back basket would accidentally fall and hit the owner's feet.

"I heard He Wen say that you also have several children in your family, and they have reached the age of enrollment in our school."

"Well, the owner, six of the seven children in the family can be sent to the school."

It seems that this Qin Chuan has also learned about the school, Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, and asked, "Have you ever thought about sending the children to the school?" ”

I must have thought about it, just a few days ago, Qin Chuan and his wife were still planning to send their children to school before going to bed, and if they had enough money, they would send the children of the eldest brother and younger brother's family first.

The eldest brother and the younger brother are not in good health, and the other has no news, so they can't help pull the child, so they think that their child will learn to read, and go outside to help be a little second in the future, and then be a better account room to support themselves.

I thought that if I really couldn't do it, I would send the smarter child in the family first, so that the child could learn and come back to teach the other children in the family.

And he didn't think about sending his baby to school first, Qin Chuan felt that he could still work, and his children had something to rely on, so it didn't matter if he went later.

"I really can't manage it at home, I just want to be able to eat meat for the whole family during the Chinese New Year this year, and I don't dare to think too much." Qin Chuan had different hearts, and he was afraid that he would show his incompetence in front of Da Zhu Niang.

Zhao Yunlan no longer persuaded the child to send the child to the school like before, and said lightly: "Do it well, there is a lot of work in Zhuangzi, and I will naturally not treat everyone badly if they keep their duty." There will be opportunities to work in the future, and I don't stick to men and women, as you all know, when there is a lot of work, people who have free time at home can come and try to apply. ”

Qin Chuan was carrying a basket with bricks on his back, and he needed to bow his head, and after understanding Zhao Yunlan's words, he always felt warm in his heart, and it was warm to his eyes, so he had to bury his head lower, and his mouth was vague: "Yes, thank you for taking care of the owner." ”

"You help me do my job, which is the biggest thank you to me. Go get busy, I'll take a look around. After speaking, Zhao Yunlan took He Wen and a few people away.

Qin Chuan glanced at Dazhu Niang and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Sister-in-law, go back to cooking, Brother Niu will get off work in a while." ”

"Hey, Chuanzi, you're ......"

Without waiting for Da Zhu Niang to finish speaking, Qin Chuan continued to move bricks outside with an empty basket on his back.

Zhao Yunlan inadvertently resolved a grievance, but she didn't tell Qin Chuan a lie, she wanted more people in Zhuangzi in the future, and when the factory building was built, she would continue to recruit people to make soap, make sweet potato powder, plant trees and plant peppers, and a lot of things need people, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it will only be that the people in this Qinjia Village will not be enough.

In the new year and new chapter, I will continue to work hard to be more literate.
