Rebirth of farming for a living

The next morning.

When Mrs. Wang woke up, she told Mrs. Cheng about the family affairs. Mrs. Cheng was full of energy. Mrs. Wang went to the pickled cabbage shed to cut some sauerkraut and demonstrated to Mrs. Cheng.

Cheng couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and tried it again, feeling that the process was almost mastered.It means you have learned it.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you really don't know how. You can ask Sister-in-law Wu or my second sister-in-law when the time comes. There's no rush."

Why is Mrs. Cheng not in a hurry?She has been holding back her energy since yesterday and wants to work hard.

Wang smiled and shook her head, and the two went to the kitchen to cook together.

Mrs. Wang had been getting along with Mrs. Cheng for a long time in her parents' home, and they had a good understanding of each other.

A pot of hot polenta paste, mixed with flour pancakes, stewed tofu with pickled cabbage, a spoonful of lard and sprinkled with chopped green onion, the aroma will come out.Mrs. Cheng was surprised: "Sister, when did you become so capable?"

Wang pursed her lips and smiled.

At this time, everyone got up, washed their faces, and got ready to eat. Li Qiuyan broke off half a piece of pancake, took a sip of cornstarch paste, and then went to put tofu in it. Li Xiangnan bought one that was freshly baked in the morning. It was warm and comfortable to eat in the morning.

Even if he was not very hungry just after waking up, Li Qiuyan could still drink two large bowls.

After taking another sip of the paste, Li Qiuyan said, "Auntie, I'm not at home today. I'm going to the store after dinner. You can also go to Aunt Wu's house for lunch. We've included food."

Mrs. Cheng glared: "I'm already here, why do I have to pay for the meal? I think I'll do it from now on. I have nothing to do."

Wang looked at Li Qiuyan.

Li Qiuyan slowly put down his chopsticks: "Auntie, I'm not just cooking for a few of you. There are also three of my eldest uncles and my second uncle. I might have to recruit more people later. I don't want you to be so tired."

Mrs. Cheng felt happy after hearing this, but she still felt that it was not cost-effective to hire someone to cook while she was here.

Li Qiuyan said: "We have already agreed with Grandma Wu." Then he thought about it again. Auntie was afraid that she would be fooled if she started a group by herself. She was also afraid that she would be uncomfortable when she went to eat at Wu's house, so he continued: "How about letting Grandma Wu do it?" If you do what uncles and others do, you can do what we do for our own family."

Cheng can think about it.

As a member of my own family, it doesn’t matter if I eat early or late. I still have to make pickled vegetables. If there are too many people, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of them.

That's it.

After clearing the dishes, Li Qiuyan and others were about to go out. At this moment, everyone cutting pickled vegetables also came to work.

Li Qiuyan originally wanted to ask Wang to talk to Aunt Wu tonight.

Unexpectedly, they happened to meet each other, and Mrs. Wang pulled Aunt Wu aside: "Sister-in-law Wu, my sister-in-law came over yesterday. From now on, my eldest brother and Xiang Nan will eat at home with her. Otherwise, Yingzi will be too tired to breastfeed."

Ms. Wang was actually a little embarrassed. She always felt that she had made an agreement with the Wu family before and that they would not let others do this. She didn't know how to open her mouth.

It was Li Qiuyan who comforted her. In this day and age, people who hire people to do farm work have to pay for their meals.

I couldn't spare any manpower before, so I asked Grandma Wu to help. Now that my aunt is here, I don't need Grandma Wu to help. What's the shame?Maybe the Wu family didn’t want to do it long ago.

After hearing what Li Qiuyan said, Mrs. Wang had the courage to talk to Yingzi's mother.

After saying that, she waited a little uneasily for Yingzi's mother to answer. As expected, Yingzi's mother smiled and said: "Okay, to tell you the truth about Xiangnan's family, my mother has been busy these days, and Yingzi has been helping a lot when she got home. These few people went over to eat. , it’s much lighter. I’ll ask Yingzi to go home and talk to my mother in a while.”

Seeing that Aunt Wu's expression didn't look like she was being fake, Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm embarrassed to tell you."

Aunt Wu said happily: "No need to be embarrassed, just say what you have to say. After all these years, you still don't know each other. I would say, it would be better if you don't have to pack rice. I just want to help you because you are too busy. After all, My mother is also old."

Mrs. Wang frowned: "Now we have to pay for our work, so it's not good if we don't."

After saying a few more words and anxious to go to the town, Mrs. Wang spoke to Aunt Wu and introduced Mrs. Wu and Mr. Cheng.Both of them were very friendly, and they got to know each other very quickly.Second Aunt Fang, on the other hand, still doesn't like to talk much. Even though she had seen Mrs. Cheng before, she only nodded and smiled.

Today Li Xiangbei is still driving, and Zhou is also following him.

On the oxcart, Li Qiuyan saw Wang's relieved look and smiled: "I just said that Aunt Wu wouldn't say anything."

Mrs. Wang also laughed: "Yes, we are the smartest in what we say. It was you, Mrs. Wu, who said that it would be better if we didn't have to pack rice. I haven't thought of what to do yet."

Li Qiuyan disagreed: "Now all the acquaintances of our family are doing the work. Since my father, uncle, and their meals are taken care of by my aunt, it will be easy to take care of the rest."

Wang's eyes widened: "How to solve it?"

Li Qiuyan was speechless: "Tonight, ask the workers if they would be happy to increase their wages by five cents per day."

"Isn't five Wen a bit too much?"

Li Qiuyan settled the accounts with his mother: "We have to deliver meat and food to Grandma Wu's family. Although she always refuses, I also plan to pay her wages on a daily basis. After all, the salary increase is a bit more cost-effective." The main thing is to save worry, Li Qiuyan silently thought in his heart.

Wang understood immediately after hearing this: "Okay, we will discuss this matter tonight."

"Okay, give Grandma Wu another dollar of these days' wages."

It was agreed here, and the bullock cart drove to the town.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he saw Mrs. Huang with her head wrapped in the store's uniform cloth towel and wearing an apron, wiping the table.

Li Qiuyan nodded: "Second aunt."

Huang smiled: "Yanyan, you are here."

Wang Erniu came out from behind when he heard the commotion: "Yanyan, this morning the carpenter brought what you ordered. He said it was ten small tables, and there were forty others that said what they were, and I didn't know what they were. Put it inside, where do you want to put it?"
