"Thought! I want to ask Uncle Erlai to do the accounting room, when Uncle Erlai was doing business with my father, it was okay to look at the accounts and keep accounts, but this matter has not been told to Uncle Erlai, I want to wait for Uncle Daqiang to find people here, and then go to Uncle Erlai to help me manage the accounts. ”

Lin Youwang sighed: "Second, this child is not easy, he has a lifelong friendship with your father, and he has watched your sister and brother grow up when he was a child, but his legs and feet are afraid that it is inconvenient to go back and forth every day, can you think about coping with it?" ”

Lin Xiaoman said: "There is no room behind the store that can live in people, I want to inquire about renting a small courtyard nearby, and the store will be busy in the future and I can't get out of the city in time, so I can also stay there." ”

"Cheng, you are thoughtful, but the money for renting a small courtyard also comes from the income of the shop, so you can't let your sisters and brothers suffer."

Lin Xiaoman didn't fight with him.

Lin Daqiang went for most of the hour, and when he came back, he was followed by twenty or thirty people.

Lin Daqiang called six men and four women aside, "Xiaoman, someone has found you, these are going to the city to help, and the rest are helping to build walls and clean up the house." Do you think it all works? If it doesn't work, you tell Uncle Daqiang, and Uncle Daqiang will change it for you. ”

Lin Xiaoman looked at the past one by one, and they were all hardworking and willing people in the village who did not break their mouths.

Especially the ten people who were selected to work in the city, and two of them helped cook in restaurants in the city, obviously looking for the stove according to Lin Xiaoman's request.

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "I see that my uncle picks the best in our village, Uncle Daqiang can rest assured!" ”

This sentence not only made Lin Daqiang feel comfortable to listen to, but the villagers who were still worried that Lin Xiaoman would not like them were relieved when they heard her words.

When the patriarch came to them, he said that this was a deal that Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother did together with the clan, and if they didn't do well, the clan would let others take over.

Next, Lin Xiaoman first told the people who helped repair the yard that he would work tomorrow, and then said the salary, 20 wen per person per day, 20 days, and it could be completed within 20 days, and each person would be given another 100 wen.

To build a house in the village, the general yard is only ten days to build, and the yard of Lin Xiaoman's house is not bigger than other people's homes, and he invited these many people, as long as he is not lazy, he can complete it in twenty days, and he can get a hundred yuan for nothing, and everyone is ready to do a big job.

Let one of them get up early tomorrow to buy bricks in the next village, and after the rest of them get up early to come to work, let these people go back first.

When these people left, Lin Xiaoman talked to the ten people who were going to the city to help, and the wages were 600 wen per month for the miscellaneous workers in the city and 800 wen per month for the stove. If you do a good job, there will be a reward at the end of the month.

After Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, Lin Youwang said with a calm face: "I said ugly things ahead, this was originally the business of the Xiaoman family, but their sisters and brothers couldn't bear to see the poverty in the clan, and they couldn't get the money to repair the ancestral hall, so they divided the business to the clan to do it together, so I gave a few of you a job to do." If someone wants to bully Xiaoman's sister and brother when they are young, and they have thoughts that they shouldn't have, don't blame me for punishing them according to the clan rules! ”

Lin Daqiang had already told them that they could do things for the clan, as long as they were willing to work hard, they would be looked down upon by the villagers.

At this time, they all patted their chests and promised, "Second uncle, don't worry, I promise to do things well and never cheat." ”

"Yes, second uncle, I also promise!"

Lin Youwang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you all go back, come over early tomorrow morning and follow Xiaoman into the city." ”

Several people greeted Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother again before leaving.

When everyone left, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Daqiang wrote a deed on the division of the store, explaining their share with the clan and some matters to be noted, in duplicate, Lin Daqiang and Lin Xiaoman pressed their handprints.

Lin Xiaoman told Lin Daqiang and his son about the idea of building a kang again, "I also saw this kang in a book, built with bricks or adobe, covered with a clay slab, and a chimney at the end of the kang to exhaust smoke upwards, and the stove is connected to the outside, as long as the fire is cooked, the heat will heat the kang along the flue, and you are not afraid of the cold when you sleep on it in winter." I thought that Uncle Daqiang would pick some trustworthy ones among the people who helped build the house, and then I would teach them to set up the kang so that when the kang in our village was set up, they could also go outside to take over the work of the kang. ”

Although I don't know what Lin Xiaoman is talking about, Lin Daqiang and Lin Youwang are very interested, "Xiaoman, you talk to the second grandfather carefully." ”

Lin Xiaoman dipped his hand in water and drew a simple drawing on the table, and the more they looked at it, the more surprised they became.

It's just that the kang hasn't been set up yet, and I don't know if it's good or not, so I told Lin Xiaoman that I must call them over to take a look when the kang is built.

As for the candidates, Lin Daqiang thinks that the people he is looking for are trustworthy in character, and they are the livelihood of the clan, as long as he talks to them, they will not talk nonsense outside.

Anyway, the work of building a fire kang is the best job in the first year, and by next year, almost all the people outside have learned it, and it will not be their turn to come to them.

The more people who learn, the faster they can set up ondols in the village. When the kang in the village is finished, it will be the turn of the people outside.

When I got home, I respectfully offered He's tablet in the house, and after kowtowing a few times, I found a piece of red cloth and wrapped it in a brazier and burned it.

Their father's tablet has entered the ancestral hall, and there are people offering incense every day, and there is no need for Mrs. Lin to make it.

It was not too late, Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Erhu to bring the four treasures of the study, and the sister and brother discussed and drew a drawing of the construction of a house and a drawing of the construction of a firekang.

The kang noodles can be mixed with yellow mud and thatch, and Lin Xiaoman plans to go there to buy two more barbed wire fences, and secretly add them to them at that time, so that they can be stronger.

Seeing that it was dinner time, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went to Lin Erlai's house with another piece of pig's head meat they bought in the city.

The fourth grandmother and Lin Erlai were weighing mushrooms in the yard, and when they saw the sisters and brothers coming over, they beckoned them into the house, "Xiaoman, Erhu, you go into the house and sit down, and then talk to you after the fourth grandmother finishes weighing the mushrooms." ”

Lin Erlai's sad face also rarely showed a smile, "Xiaoman, Erhu, have you eaten?" I ate it at home without eating. ”

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu were also nowhere to be seen, "I haven't eaten Uncle Erlai's cake for a long time, and it's weird." ”

"Cheng, Uncle Erlai will give you pancakes to eat tonight. Mother, mushrooms here you stare at the point, I'll go to the pancakes. ”

"Go ahead, burn more, Ming'er Xiaoman and Erhu don't have to do it."

"Hey, you see!" After Lin Er finished speaking, he walked to the stove room.

Lin Xiaoman was not polite, followed to the stove room, and brought a kitchen knife to slice the pig's head meat into a large bowl.

In a large bowl, I slapped two cloves of garlic into a small bowl, poured some soy sauce and tossed.

Lin Er came to see him, "You said you two, come here, why do you still buy this?" ”

"Uncle Erlai, if I want to eat, let my sister buy it, and it is cheaper than meat to sell in the city."
