Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 932: Wage increase



Wang Erniu is very proud.

Huang was pleasantly surprised.

When I returned to my room in the evening, I touched the heavy gold bracelet and couldn't hide the joy on my face.

"When I save up the money, I'll buy it for you." Wang Erniu said coldly when he saw that Mr. Huang liked it.

Huang gave Wang Erniu a shy and angry look, with a serious expression: "It's enough to keep this at the bottom of the box. With the money saved, I still need to find a wife for my son."

Wang Erniu laughed loudly and took Mrs. Huang over: "Don't worry about the money. I have all the money I have saved. I will give it to you later..."

As he spoke, his voice became deeper and deeper: "Do you miss me?"

Being tied up and carried away by Zhao made it easier for Wang Erniu to do whatever he wanted.

A little farewell is better than a newlywed, so the two couples naturally have a lot of intimacy.

After everything was done, Wang Erniu took out the money he had saved and showed it to Mr. Huang.

"Why so many?"

Although Huang was a little tired, she was still energetic in counting money.

Just looking at so much money can't help but be surprised.

Of course Huang knew that Wang Erniu's monthly salary was five taels, but now the total of these silver taels was over 60 taels.

After counting it several times, it was obvious that there would be no mistakes. Is it possible that the master didn’t spend any money?

No, even if you don’t spend money, you can’t save so much.

And that gold bracelet is worth a lot of money...

The doubts in Huang's eyes were obvious. Wang Erniu laughed heartily and couldn't help but hugged Huang and explained in detail.

This money was all given in words.

"Now I have six taels a month!"

In addition, during the Chinese New Year, Li Qiuyan also gave an extra six taels of silver as a bonus.

After calculating this, the account is correct.

Huang was also relieved, and Xu Xu couldn't help chatting with Wang Erniu.

It is nothing more than asking Wang Erniu to work hard for Li Qiuyan and not do anything that would disgrace Li Qiuyan.

Wang Erniu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He didn't say that he was Yan Yan's biological uncle, and Yan Yan was not kind to him.

How could I do something with bad conscience?

However, since the wife specifically said it, Wang Erniu responded to everything without mentioning it.

Although he worked very late at night, Wang Erniu got up early the next day to take Huang to the store.

Wang Erniu also asked Huang to follow him to the capital last night.

However, Mr. Huang did not agree, because he thought it would be too expensive to spend money in the capital, and he also thought it was too far away from home.

After all, I still feel that although Wang Erniu earns a lot of money, it will cost a lot to follow him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to save any money after working hard for a year.

How could Wang Erniu not know what his wife meant?

But he didn't have any other opinions.

It's true that there is still some time left. If you wait a little longer and your wages increase again, you can reunite.

Wang Erniu stayed at home for a few days. Usually after delivering the goods to Mrs. Huang in the morning, he would follow Mr. Huang to work in the store.

In the afternoon, sometimes I would go back to collect mountain goods with my brother, and sometimes I would help my brother-in-law in Lijiazhuang.

After listening to Huang's arrangement, he deliberately counted five taels of silver and handed it to Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was extremely happy. What she was happy about was not the money, but her son's thoughts.

While Huang was busy at work, she did not forget to go to Jinxiu Cloth Store to order decent new clothes for Wang Erniu.

After all, when you go out, you rely on your clothes and your horse's saddle. You need to dress up and be in good spirits.

Wang Erniu spent a few days leisurely at home and then set off back to the capital.

Although Mrs. Huang made him new clothes, he said it was a long journey and was reluctant to wear them, so he still wore his old clothes.

With the dry food specially made for him by Zhao in his bag, he boarded Jiang Zhe's boat.

The last time I came back was by water, and since Jiang Zhe was going to the capital this time, Wang Erniu just happened to catch a ride.

Seeing Huang's and the tied figures getting smaller and smaller, Wang Erniu sighed silently in his heart, really hoping to reunite with his wife as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhe, who was standing on the deck with Wang Erniu, also thought the same thing in his heart. He really hoped that the ship business would stabilize soon and he and Yanyan could live a leisurely farm life.

Is farm life leisurely?

Li Qiuyan, who stayed in Lijiazhuang, didn't think so. The farmer had few free months.

Endless work to do.

Although Li Qiuyan doesn't have to do the work himself, he still has to worry a lot.

But no matter what, it is better than working in my previous life.

After all, Tudou wouldn’t suddenly tell Li Qiuyan that he wanted to be a sweet potato~

Potatoes were planted for two seasons last year, and a lot of them were stored in the cellar during the winter. Now the Li family can be considered potato-free.

But it will take at least a year or two before it becomes a common ingredient like sweet potatoes.

Except for those that were reserved for Zhuangyuan's baking field, the rest of the Li family's potatoes were turned into seeds.

There are a lot of potatoes, and Li Qiuyan’s family’s land can’t be used up.

But there is no need to worry about the land issue right now.

Not to mention that the tenants on their own fiefdoms listen to themselves.

It can be said that the villagers in Lijiazhuang have tasted the benefits and are willing to follow what the Li family grows.

It’s just that although there are a lot of potatoes left, it’s not enough for everyone to grow.

Li Qiuyan and Li Xiangnan discussed how to share the money with a few close families this season.

Li Xiangnan hesitated for a moment, then asked Li Qiuyan: "If it's enough, can you also ask your uncle and them?"

In the past few years, other people's lives have been better.

The life of Li Xiangdong's family is naturally getting better, but that is mostly due to Li Mu.

It doesn't have much to do with them.

After all, Li Qiuyan's family didn't use the Zhang family, so they were just like those who worked long-term in the Li family's spare time.

After renting these thirty acres of land last year, Li Xiangdong and his wife were not very enthusiastic about farming.

It was also because of this that I saved some money.

Li Qiuyan didn't care about this matter, so he nodded: "Then ask."

Li Xiangnan was very happy when he heard it: "Your uncle will definitely be willing to plant it."

Sure enough, Li Xiangdong agreed immediately.

Unable to earn money, Li Xiangdong was too embarrassed to ask his brothers for work, so he could only occasionally do unimportant chores.

He was also very anxious.

Therefore, as soon as the land was agreed upon, Li Xiangdong leased thirty acres.

In addition to the five acres of land previously divided, there are these thirty acres.

You can also earn a lot more money.

Only three acres of the previous five acres were planted with wheat, and the remaining two acres were planted with sweet potatoes.

The [-] acres of land that was rented out were all cultivated according to Li Qiuyan's family's farming methods.

There are fifteen acres of sweet potatoes, five acres of mung beans, and five acres of peppers.

There happened to be five acres left, so they planted fresh crops of potatoes.

He also gave some to Li Xiangxi's family, Wu Qing's family, Wu Ying's family, and Wang Daniu's family, and these potatoes were put to use.

As for Li Xiangbei, he said he was too busy and could just plant some wheat and sweet potatoes.

Li Xiangnan and Li Qiuyan naturally didn't say much.

When this season's grain is harvested again, potatoes will be piled up in the grains and warehouses.

Li Qiuyan's family deliberately built several large granaries in the open space connected to their house, and stored all the potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, and fungus in batches.

Although Li Qiuyan felt that they were all from his own village, there was no need to worry about safety issues.

But Mao Tou and the others were worried. They took turns living in the granary and watching over them every day, which made people feel more at ease.

Li Qiuyan thought that Mao Tou and Li Yang had been here for a few years. After thinking about it, in addition to increasing the wages of the younger and older boys as agreed before, he also slightly increased the wages of Mao Tou and Li Yang. Mentioned.

Wang laughed: "Now even if I really have a wife, I can still afford it."

When Li Qiuyan heard it, it seemed that there was a way, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Only then did I know that after the Wang family had discussed with Li Qiuyan before, someone had taken a liking to him and was currently in contact with him.

After hearing this, Li Qiuyan couldn't help but get jealous.
