Chapter 29: Loaded Returns
"Grandpa Niu, how can I be embarrassed to trouble you, we understand your intentions, but our brothers and sisters thought seriously at home for a few days, and finally decided to go to the village to ask a few idle laborers to help harvest the wheat, Grandpa Niu, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" A few of our brothers and sisters would like to ask you to help us take this pass, and recommend a few hard-working people to our brothers and sisters, and we can discuss the salary. Now that their family has some money to spare, Lin Wan'er doesn't want her two brothers to work so hard to harvest rice in the field, after all, no matter how capable they are, they are just a few little babies, and their labor ability is far less than that of adult laborers.
She had to spend money to hire a few people to harvest the wheat in the field early, and while the weather was still sunny, she dried it well and put it into the warehouse.
Grandpa Niu pulled the ox rope with one hand, tilted his head sideways and thought carefully about the qualified young and strong labor force in the village, and sure enough, he thought of a few, "The village has a small field and enough labor force is the blacksmith family at the head of the village, his family has five sons, but the land is only six or seven acres, in previous years, their family will also help other families in the village to harvest after harvesting their own grain, if you want to find them, you have to go to say hello as soon as possible, the more the farm work is done in the back, no matter how strong the labor force will feel powerless, this speed is naturally much slower than before." Why don't I go home and ask you? ”
"Then it's going to trouble Grandpa Niu." Lin Wan'er thanked her heartily.
"What's the trouble, if Grandpa Niu is ten years younger, it is not easy to harvest three acres of land, just blame the years for not forgiving, I can't help a lot if I have the heart."
In the past few years, he has felt more and more that his body and bones are not as good as before, and if he works for a few more years, he will not be able to do it anymore, so the family field will be handed over to his sons to plant, and he only needs to get some rations every year. People, it's really not okay to be old.
When they arrived at the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, Wulang Liulang Xiaoqi and Lin Wan'er got off the ox cart, and after taking the things down, they said goodbye to Grandpa Niu and hurried to the direction of home. They have to hurry home to cook, eat a hot meal, take a shower and sleep beautifully, and wash away the fatigue of this body.
"Sister, the village is full of the smell of meat, it's so fragrant." Xiao Qi wrinkled his nose and sniffed, "It's stewed big bone broth, and it smells like braised pork." The little guy sucked it up, and was overwhelmed by the rich smell of meat that permeated the place.
In normal times, the villagers live a life of coarse tea and light rice, except for a few people with good living conditions who occasionally eat meat, more people are like Lin Wan'er's family, saving money, and eating a bowl of coarse grain rice with a chopstick and Chinese cabbage.
But today is different, the villagers go to the town to use the vegetables grown in their own fields to pick up the town for money, and it will not be long before they will encounter the busy farming, even if the life is tight, at this time they are also thinking of ways to make the food more delicious and more abundant, so that their men will be full of strength, and then they will be able to insist on doing heavy work in the field for several days in a row.
Not only did Xiao Qi's nose be sharp, but the three of Wulang Liulang and Lin Wan'er naturally smelled the rich smell of meat wafting in the village, Lin Wan'er smiled and touched Xiao Qi's slightly sweaty little head, and said dotingly: "You little gluttonous cat, your nose is sharper than a dog, and you can even smell what you do." Let's go, our family will also make meat to eat today, and you will be full when the time comes. Lin Wan'er weighed two catties of jing pork in the pork shop, and went home to fry shredded pork and make braised pork, but she hadn't eaten pork for a long time, so she could take advantage of today's tooth sacrifice.
