Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 33 Half-day shift



Wang was telling Li Xiangnan about Zhou's situation, and Li Xiangnan sighed repeatedly after hearing this.

This is what happens when a woman gives birth. Depending on her body type, her reactions will be different.Some people have no reaction at all, but suffer from severe reactions.

Li Qiuyan asked curiously: "Mom, did you react badly when you gave birth to me?"

Wang pursed her lips and smiled, but Li Xiangnan burst into laughter. Wang glared at Li Xiangnan without stopping her: "Your mother was very greedy at that time. She wanted to eat everything she saw, and there was nothing to eat at home, so I wanted to eat everything. I found a way for her and went up the mountain to pick a lot of wild fruits for her. I said the baby she was born would definitely be a greedy one."

Li Qiuyan was ashamed and hated himself for talking too much.He quickly changed the subject: "Dad, Mom, look, my fourth uncle can't go to the dock to work now. Mom is alone, so I'm a little uneasy."

Wang said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with you? I'm used to it. Just because your fourth uncle isn't here, I sometimes get a little confused. It's okay. I'll be fine in a few days."

Li Xiangnan asked, "Yanyan, what do you think when you say that?"

Li Qiuyan said: "My fourth uncle can't go out to work now and has no income. I want to help him. But I haven't decided yet."

Although Li Xiangnan and Wang were a little puzzled, they didn't say anything else.

When it was time to pickle sauerkraut the next day, although everyone seemed to be busy, there was not as much pickle as the first day, only about 150 kilograms. Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Qiuyan asked the eldest and second aunts to start. gone back.

On the third day, Li Qiuyan followed Lao Jin's car to the town with Mrs. Wang and handed over 150 kilograms of sauerkraut as scheduled. Shopkeeper Du was very satisfied with the quality of the sauerkraut and immediately decided to serve this dish. He said happily: "Miss Li , I've been waiting for you, you don't know, the first few dishes are selling very well. Our boss has now started to promote it in other restaurants. You'd better prepare more of this sauerkraut. If the sales volume is high, I'm afraid it will be sold in one day. Fifty pounds is not enough." Li Qiuyan responded with a smile.

I just went back and saw that on this day, everyone had marinated even less, only a little over a hundred pounds.Seeing that this was not going to work, Li Qiuyan said to Wang and Li Xiangnan: "I think the eldest uncle, the second aunt, and the others are not lazy either. They just work from morning to night, and they are inevitably tired. I also heard from Xia Zhi that the aunt and uncle are always the same when they get off work. The second mother-in-law said that after doing this job, she didn’t have time to feed the pigs. When she got home, her arms were sore and she didn’t want to work. It’s not going to work like this.”

Li Xiangnan was a little nervous: "Then you mean we don't need them anymore?"

Li Qiuyan smiled and said, "How is that possible? I mean, if they continue like this, their bodies won't be able to bear it, and our sauerkraut won't be able to keep the quantity."

Wang said: "Then I will also help with the marinating in the afternoon."

In the past few days, Li Qiuyan was afraid that Wang would be too tired after working in the water for a long time, so he didn't let Wang get sauerkraut. He only let her make a fire occasionally.

Li Qiuyan said: "This is not a solution. Don't tire yourself out if you can't make money. I have an idea. Otherwise, let's work half a day in the future, and find a few more people to work in shifts in the morning and afternoon. This way, everyone will have time to do their own things at home. , not so tiring, and more efficient.”

Ms. Wang hesitated and said, "I'm just worried that they will feel that the money they make is too little and they won't want to work anymore."

Li Qiuyan smiled: "Mom, you are a fool of the authorities. If it were you, would you be willing? You can only work for half a day, and it won't delay the work at home. Besides, the more you work, the more you gain. If you are not tired, you will be very efficient, just like the first day. That way, you can make a lot of money.”

Wang calculated that he could make forty or fifty kilograms in half a day, and there were indeed many people who could earn ten or eight pennies. After all, the work was simple and close to home, and it didn't take a whole day.

Wang added: "Then do you think it would be more appropriate to find a few more people?"

Li Qiuyan pondered and said: "Let's find Aunt Wu and Yingzi again. Then they can come in the morning and in the afternoon. That way they won't delay the family affairs and won't be tired. If you want to do it, you can do it all day long." After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Wang again: "Mom, why don't you pick the sauerkraut at home too."

Mrs. Wang said cheerfully: "Okay, then I'll marinate it when I get back from selling it. You don't have to pay for mother's labor."

Li Qiuyan couldn't help but laugh, and said that Wang should go to Yingzi and Aunt Wu to discuss the work first, and the rest would be discussed later.

Mrs. Wang went happily and came back happily: "Your aunt and the others agreed right away. Wouldn't it be nice to earn some pocket money when you have nothing to do at home? Grandma Yingzi also said that they can stay here without worries, and she will do the housework when the time comes. Just do it. I think she's too old and won't respond. It'll be up to them to make their own arrangements." Li Qiuyan also smiled and said nothing.
