Yu Qinniang asked Mrs. Xu: "Mother, have you asked that kid in Caotan Village?" ”

"I asked a couple of questions last night, saying that your grandmother, as well as your uncle and cousin, didn't come back."

Yu Qinniang breathed a sigh of relief: "That is, I haven't finished my work yet." ”

"I hope so."

What Mrs. Xu and Yu Qinniang didn't know was that at this time, the Xu family's big house had already taken a car from the county to their home, and they had finished the battle, but there were no "people" among the people in the car.

The real old lady of the Xu family was making a fuss: "Stop, I want to get out of the car." ”

Uncle Xu waved his hand to the coachman to signal that it was time to go, and persuaded him: "Mother, the rain is finally getting lighter, and it is not easy to find a bicycle, just here, we have to walk for a few hours by foot." You get off the bus at this time, why don't we go back and walk for a few days? ”

The only boy in the uncle's family also persuaded: "Milk, don't worry about the three cousins, they are all young men, and they are the work arranged by the master of the Zhuangzi of the grandfather's family, can people still lose it?" I can't get ready to get home. ”

It's okay not to explain, the more you explain, the more angry the old lady becomes.

She can understand that the orchard work does not need so many people, and she can't wait for the last few places to compete for it, and there is no danger and she can earn more, so can she not rush to do it?

The two of them designated themselves first.

That's fine.

But where were your nephews and the three cousins who broke their bones and tendons separated, and what kind of work did they do for more than a month?

Then he also bluffed her, seeing that she didn't tell the truth, he only said that he would go home first.

She thought that the eldest grandson was already waiting at the entrance of the city tower, where did she think that no one was there.

You don't need to ask to know that the boss tricked her into getting in the car first, this is because she doesn't want to delay her work, doesn't want to delay the food fare, and doesn't want to accompany her back to find someone.

The old lady was disappointed in her heart, she kowtowed to the old lady at her age, and waited to rub her legs, what did she want.

Uncle Xu could see that the old lady was angry, and took a step back and said, "If the nephews haven't come home in a few days, I'll come out to look for it again." ”

The old lady endured the sentence: This is not a father or a brother, or it can't be done.

If it were your own son, how many days would you wait?

But she couldn't say that.

Since her health is getting worse day by day, she can no longer lose her temper by temperament like when she was young, and she still has to count on living in her eldest son's house.

And the eldest grandson who was very much worried by the old lady was a helper today and the last day.

The brothers didn't blame the uncle and cousin for robbing them of the fruit picking.

Because they were later arranged by the owner of the farm, they were paid more.

Xu Youliang and his youngest brother Xu Youyin are serving as conscripts for two merchants in the city.

Serving as a conscriptor is an obligation that every family in the county must undertake, and they must work for the imperial court for free. This year's task is to clean up the sinus canal. Unless there is an official or talent in the family, it will be reduced.

Therefore, some wealthy families are unwilling to let their sons do dirty work and have to pay for the tiring work. A quota of five taels of silver, the owner's son is in charge of this small official.

The owner's son accepted five taels for a place and then went to find someone to replace him, and distributed three taels of silver to the person who really worked.

Three or two, you still have to eat.

And the tall-growing third Xu Youcang, who found more work than his brother and brother.

He followed the team to the woods and carried the logs down.

Others can carry up to two or three hundred catties at a time, and they can carry fifty or sixty pieces of wood more than ten times a day, twice as much as others, and they can carry it from the sky to the dawn until they can't see the road clearly.

Zhuang Tou said that whoever works more earns more.

No, Xu Youcang came down this time, grabbed the two vegetable dumplings that were divided and ate them in a big gulp, and asked the counting steward excitedly: "Shopkeeper, how much money do I have?" ”

"You kid, it costs six taels to scrape together another two dollars, you are really capable, it is rare for me to stay here for so many years. However, you still have to listen to your uncle's advice, don't work too hard, don't think anything at the moment, how many people have bent their backbones when they get old, and some people can't get up again when they flash their waists and fall on the kang. ”

Xu Youcang grinned and laughed: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I won't do it if I make up enough six taels, and I will go into the city tomorrow to find my second brother and my brother." ”

Their brother came out this time, and the little two taels of silver brought by his mother didn't cost anything.

can also give an extra twelve taels of silver to the mother, how happy the mother is.
