314 Come tomorrow
The two of them walked around the mountain for nearly an hour, and they had almost discussed what should be discussed, and the general plan of the wasteland and barren mountain was also arranged, and they were waiting to be implemented one by one.
When the time is almost up, you can go home, carry back the wild boar grass on the road, clean up, and Li Changhui drove the carriage to the city.
The carriage was to be returned to the carriage and horses, and then went to Xie Jiang on foot to discuss the matter of cattle and sheep outside the gate, and then went to pick up Li An.
Lin He was ready to take advantage of the cool weather to clean up a vacant lot at the back door of his house, although it was a little late, but some vegetables were too late to be planted now.
The river outside the city is quite far from their house, and there is no water source nearby, but fortunately there is a well in the backyard of their house, which is enough to water a small vegetable garden.
Some time ago, I was only busy with things in the wasteland, and I forgot that there was work at my doorstep.
But today he only cut the grass on the ground, carried it to the side of the cattle pen, and poured it into the trough, and when he came back, he caught a big rooster by the way.
I haven't eaten chicken at home for several days, so I used the chicken breast and chicken thighs to make kung pao chicken, and the rest was stewed with chicken soup, and I pinched a large handful of chrysanthemum on the side of the road, and today's dinner is enough.
Seeing chrysanthemum, Lin He remembered something she had forgotten for a long time - digging a few chrysanthemums and planting them at the door of her house.
Thinking about it, put the pinched chrysanthemum in the back basket, grab the big rooster with one hand, hold a half-human-high chrysanthemum seedling with the other hand, and pull it out hard!
The chrysanthemum pulled it up, but she stumbled and almost fell.
"Mrs. Li, what are you doing pulling chrysanthemum, I'll help you."
An aunt came over from the side with a bucket, and when she saw Lin He, she hurriedly put down the bucket and came over.
"It's Aunt Wang," it was the aunt who helped their family wash their clothes: "I want to get some chrysanthemum and plant it at the door, the family likes to eat chrysanthemum." ”
"It's too hot this day, I'm afraid it's not good to work." Aunt Wang said this, but she quickly helped pull out a large bundle of chrysanthemum.
"Mrs. Li, I'll send it back for you, it's not convenient to see so many things in your hands."
"Thank you very much, aren't you busy?"
"It's okay, I'm done, and I'm ready to go home."
Aunt Wang walked beside Lin He with a bundle of chrysanthemums, and glanced at Lin He from time to time, looking like she wanted to say something.
There was still a while on the way back this time, and Lin He took the initiative to ask: "Aunt Wang, I heard that the eldest of your family is about to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
Aunt Wang is a tenant of Zhuangzi opposite their house, with three sons and two daughters, the eldest is a son, who is already sixteen years old.
The woman is also the daughter of a nearby farmer's family, a family that has no land and no land, and most of the houses she lives in are owned by the owner, and the girl is lucky, if she is lucky, she can marry a farmer with a field nearby.
But if the boy is a boy, he has nothing, and every year more than half of the grain in the field is handed over to the landlord, and it is difficult to support his own family, and it is even more difficult to ask for a daughter-in-law.
Lin He didn't say these things clearly, but he had lived here for a while, and the people who worked in the fields were also from nearby villages and other tenants, and they occasionally talked about these things.
Lin He doesn't like to talk about gossip, but she can't help but like to listen to gossip, so naturally I've heard some about Aunt Wang's family.
Speaking of her son, Aunt Wang's face was also relieved.
"Yes, the eldest of my family is diligent and honest, but we have no ability to be parents, and we haven't saved enough money to buy one acre and three points of land for our children."
Speaking of the back, but the expression is gloomy, as a parent, who doesn't want to give their children better.
But their ability is limited, and at the end of the year, most of the grain is leased, and the rest is barely enough to eat, and even when they are sick and have no money to find a doctor, they can barely feed their family.
If it weren't for the child's competitiveness, he would also be a diligent person, and his personality would be honest and honest, and he would be taken by the girl, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to please his daughter-in-law.
Lin He comforted: "Don't worry, auntie, your family is all diligent people, this day, it will always get better day by day." ”
Aunt Wang was comforted, and when she saw Lin He's pleasant face, she became a little bolder.
"Mrs. Li, I see that your family has so many fields, and this person has less manpower, I'm afraid that I won't be able to clean it up for a while, will your family continue to find someone to work?"
It turned out that this was the case, Lin He understood, no wonder he was so nervous, probably because he wanted his son to work.
I don't know anything else, but the people who work in their house have been working for several months, twenty yuan a day, and more than one or two taels of silver for two months, and they can buy hundreds of catties of coarse grain.
I don't know if there is a stable income at home, and the atmosphere of everyone's work has improved a lot recently, and they are getting more and more energetic.
An acre of fertile land costs nearly ten taels of silver, but the wasteland only costs five or six taels of silver, and if the Li family has a long-term job to do, they can save money to buy an acre of wasteland in a year.
Don't look at it as wasteland, wasteland is not taxed for the first three years, as long as you take care of it, it may become fertile land after three years.
It is precisely because of this that the people who work in the Li family are very serious, and they don't want to lose this long-term income, and outsiders are also very envious and want to come over to work and make money.
However, before the Li family, there were more than ten acres of wasteland to grow grapes, and fifty people were enough, but only recently they bought two more hills, as well as a large piece of wasteland from the vineyard to the vicinity of Li's house, and then to the bottom of the two mountains.
In this way, there should be more people needed to work, but Lin He spoke before, saying that if he didn't recruit people, everyone would do it slowly.
This old lady of the Li family spoke, and others naturally didn't dare to say anything, and Aunt Wang also relied on helping the Li family wash clothes recently, and she was familiar with the old lady of the Li family, knowing that the two were kind, so she dared to ask more.
The common people's fear and fear of the landlords are deep-rooted.
So although Aunt Wang asked, she was still very apprehensive.
Fortunately, Lin He is indeed ready to recruit people: "Yes, you can come to work tomorrow." ”
Aunt Wang was instantly surprised: "Really? Thank you, Mrs. Lee, thank you, Mrs. Lee. ”
Seeing Aunt Wang holding a bundle of chrysanthemums, bowing to her constantly, and her grateful expression, Lin He also felt sad for them.
It is difficult for the poor people of this era to turn over.
"Auntie, don't be so polite, in fact, we are also planning to start looking for more people to work in the next few days, before we took it for granted, this field is busy, there is work everywhere, there are so many things, fifty or sixty people, it is really too busy."
"It's not just your son, you can also help bring a message to everyone, we have to find one or two hundred people to work in the field, as long as you have time, you can come over."
"But the aunt who cooks the rice can't be busy, so the newcomer to work eats at his own house at noon, and we give an extra three yuan for food, what do you think?"
I haven't had time to tell anyone about this yet.
Aunt Wang was suddenly overjoyed: "Thank you, madam, Madame, Bodhisattva heart, Bodhisattva heart." ”
It's the first time I've seen such a good lady, no wonder she can prosper her family!
