Chapter 187: Each Performs His Duties
Hearing Gu Erzhu's promise, not only Zhou Banxia, but also Gu Wenxuan was relieved.
His father's ability to think about problems and his ability to act is actually beyond ordinary people.
His grandfather was not only blind in his eyes, but also blind in his heart, and he was always proud of his eldest son.
It's not that he is partial to his own son when he is a son, and his uncle is not worthy of carrying shoes for his father.
After chatting for a while, the hour was not early, there was no need for Gu Erzhu and Liu to urge them to go back to the room early to rest, and Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia did not stay longer.
After leaving the main room, I went to chat with Gu Erlang again, and the hour was not early, and I went to the backyard to chat with Li Chunsheng, who had not exchanged feelings for a while recently.
This brother-in-law is really good, it's the middle of the night, let him rest early and wait for tomorrow to be busy, and he really worked in two shifts.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Gu Wenxuan was lazy this night, and took advantage of his brother-in-law to go home tonight, and was busy hugging his daughter-in-law to sleep.
The next day, I was back to my daily routine.
Go to school on time.
Re-invested in the sea of books, and when Shen Shi returned from school, his father was not usually fast, and the territory he wanted had already fallen under his daughter-in-law's name.
Now that Gu Erzhu has also known a lot of people in the county office, his work efficiency is naturally faster, and there is no longer much delay in pulling Gu Yangming (Li Zheng) to the county office.
I wanted to inquire about the results of the county test, but I just thought that there were more things to ask and more things to do, and more things were better than less things, so I finally gave up and returned to the village quickly.
Home.
He handed over the household deed and money bag to Liu, changed his clothes and hurried out to the wasteland to see how everyone was doing.
Busy is really busy, but he is happy in his heart, he is full of energy, without a carriage, Gu Erzhu feels that he can run back and forth from morning to dark and not tired.
Patriarch Gu and Second Master Gu didn't feel at ease when they came over to take a look, so they heard their nephew's words, and they were sincerely happy for their nephew, and they laughed even more.
Patriarch Zhou, who was unwilling to be robbed of the "limelight" by Patriarch Gu, also moved from the field under the names of the father and daughter on Thursday to this side, and heard the laughter of the old man first.
What about crutches?
in hand.
What's the matter, but it's time to do it?
The snow melted, and the best gravel dirt road on the village road on weekdays was also a little muddy, and the place to be treated was the wasteland that had been sorted out yesterday.
Three old men who were over fifty years old and about to be sixty were here, looking at the busy people in front of them and around them, and they were each laughing and laughing accompanied by their sons or grandsons.
Zhou Banxia didn't know that the three old men had gone over there, but he heard from the Liu family that many people in the village took the initiative to go over there to help this morning.
There is a custom in the village.
Whoever builds a house, unless the relationship between the two families is stiff and there is no one to deal with, basically each family will still have one person to go to the door to help.
But this custom is only to build a house in the yard, not to mention Zhou Banxia, even the Liu family didn't expect that now it was going to be spring ploughing, and there were still people to help clean up and level the land.
Because of digging ditches to clean up silt, improving water conservancy, and facilitating irrigation, Ma Dazhuang co-ordinated, and the wages and food of those people were first taken care of by the Ma family, and then shared among the three families after the work was completed.
And the woods wasteland belongs to Zhou Banxia's personal private property, and the plasterer, Gu Erzhu is still looking for the Zhou plasterer who renovated his yard before.
This person is also Zhou Banxia's uncle.
It is equivalent to Gu Erzhu having the intention to let the other party command the hired personnel to clean up and level the land, so that he can first clear and level a part of the wasteland and start building a workshop as soon as possible.
Therefore, the wages on the Shulinzi side are calculated separately, but the food, although both sides work at the same time, and if they are inconsistent, the Ma family is still responsible.
After all, the Ma family has a Zhuangzi, not only with many long-term workers, but also with many servants. They are the most experienced in making big pot rice, so Gu Erzhu and Zhou Shun did not refuse Ma Dazhuang's kindness.
At the same time, the three families also made a rough arrangement for three meals a day according to the amount of meals that came.
The food is still ok.
Millet grains, black flour cakes and other staple esophagus are enough, and three meals a day to open a meat.
In the past two days, the Liu family has sent Aunt Cai to take her mother-in-law to the stove erected over there to help, and it is not good to let her mother take someone to do any work, and she herself will go around.
Just like yesterday.
Before this afternoon, she and Li were in Majiazhuangzi, and learned that many people in the village ran to help, not to mention whether to pay wages or not, since people came to work, they always had to provide food.
Li listened to Thursday Shun's advice, and the smart one didn't care about anything, and said early that she would hand over her three girls to her mother-in-law.
Liu had no choice but to come forward and ask another mother-in-law to prepare more meals, and when he came back, he also mentioned it to Zhou Banxia, but it was impossible to let Zhou Banxia go out.
Not to mention that the old daughter-in-law is not idle at home, she has to be busy with embroidery, and she has to rush to make the old son's spring shirt, and she has to go to the backyard from time to time to take a look.
The fields are full of old and young masters, and there are not from the village, such a good daughter-in-law, if she is abruptly by which Meng Lang, it will be too late to regret it.
In addition, Liu was also worried that the old daughter-in-law would go out and meet someone who was not particular about crying in public and borrowing money, and the old daughter-in-law was thin-skinned and embarrassed to refuse.
All in all, human favors belong to human favors, and there are contacts and contacts, but if you don't help the poor in emergencies, you must not set a precedent, and it is better to lock up your old daughter-in-law at home.
Zhou Banxia, who was "locked up" at home, didn't think about it so much.
With the idea that things gather people in groups, and sensible children will not be bad where they go, she is going to recruit a little girl to come to the house to pack pancreas and put them in boxes, otherwise the pancreas will be made, and they will be delivered on time at the end of the month, and they will be enough to choke next month.
In this batch, first recommended by the eldest girl and the third girl, and then after the check of Xiaobaoya, she finally recruited ten little girls with Zhou Gu's surname, whose family background is not very good, but whose family is reliable.
In this way, the grass hut that was temporarily erected in the backyard before the year ago was occupied, and there was no place to shelter from the cold wind for a few more little girls to work.
Of course, if she refused on this ground, there must be more little girls who dared to say that as long as there was work to do, it would be okay to work in the open air.
But not with her, it's really going to freeze and count whose responsibility it is.
As for moving to the inner yard or the front yard to work?
Not even more.
Not to mention that it will disturb the daily life of the family, it is also incompatible with etiquette.
Men and women are not seated at the same age as 7 years old.
She didn't want to hear or see a little girl from the Zhou family throwing herself into her arms and giving her arms to the Gu family's son, or the little girl of the Gu family had an affair with Da Jiang.
After arranging for ten little girls to be stationed in the backyard to pack pancreas and pack boxes, they can barely catch up with the speed of the big girl and the three girls, and the people are honest and don't move around, and the county test is going to be released.
Zhou Banxia can be regarded as seeing history reappear again.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Liu had already begun to put his hands together in the courtyard, and the gods were babbling to pray for the blessing of the ancestors, the blessing of the Confucian saints, and the blessing of the Buddha......
Zhou Banxia was not nervous, but when she saw that her mother-in-law was more cautious than before, she burned incense and knelt down, and she seemed to be infected, so she prayed silently.
