Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 660 Chapter 650 Nine: Hiring
Song Qiu and the others followed the woman to the village for a while, and people passing by saw it, so they had to come out and chat with the woman.

Such beautiful three girls are rare in their village.

Many families have boys who are of old age, and their minds move quickly, so they want to find a matchmaker.

The woman hurriedly interrupted everyone's thoughts, "These girls are here to find our village chief!"

The women in the village didn't have much experience, when they heard that they were here to find the village chief, they felt that there must be something important, and they didn't care about their little thoughts at the moment, and they were all curious, so they hurriedly followed behind to the village chief's house .

After walking two more houses, the woman stopped. This house was a wooden house, and the yard was neatly tidied up.

"Uncle! Are you at home?"

"Who is it?" The village chief in his fifties came out of the house with his hands behind his back, seeing the woman with so many people, he asked her, "Douhua, what's the matter?"

The young woman who was called "Dou Hua" obviously knew the village head very well, and she called "uncle" very clearly. When she came in, she stood beside the village head and pointed to him: "Here, this is the little girl who said she wanted to find you uncle." Woolen cloth!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Song Qiu again: "This is the village head of our village, sister, what do you want to do with the village head?"

The village head heard that he was looking for him, and saw that there were a few little girls who were not dressed in coarse linen, but in fine cotton. He saw that the family life was good, and asked people to come in and sit in the house. : "Girl, what do you want me for?"

If you want to go in, you have to trouble others to serve tea and sugar water, Song Qiu hurriedly waved his hands, saying that he can't go in, so let's just talk here.

He said: "Village chief, it's like this. Do you know the place with the boundary marker on the side of the official road outside? It's called Daxing Yazi. I just bought that barren grassland and I want to hire a dozen people in your village. One person can help with a day's work, clearing out the land, twenty yuan a day's wages, do you think it may help find someone?"

The women who followed were a little excited when they heard that they were going to hire someone to do the work for twenty cents a day, and whispered to each other.

There isn't much farm work right now, and I should be too busy to finish it. I don't want to waste a day's work, and for twenty yuan, I can buy a few catties of grain.

Everyone looked at the village head excitedly, waiting for what he would say.

The village head said: "The wasteland in Daxing Yazi? The grass is taller than a person, and there are many gravels underneath. Girl, why did you buy that wasteland? The land is not fertile, but it can't grow food. If the wasteland doesn’t pay taxes for the first three years, it’s a loss, right?”

Hire people to work, just nod if you want to do it, Song Qiu didn't expect the village head to think so much of her, this is a kind village head, just like their grandfather.

The smile on Song Qiu's face deepened, "It's not for planting, I plan to build a house and open an inn there."

"Open an inn?" The village chief didn't say much when he heard this, he knew about farming, but he didn't understand anything else, and he didn't open his mouth about things he didn't understand, he just said: "Only for one day? If there are fewer people, I’m afraid we won’t be able to clean it up. If we want to build a house, the land must be cleaned up.”

Song Qiu also knew that the weeds and forests in that land were not easy to clean up, so he nodded and said, "Then twenty people, working for two days, should be successful, right?"

The village chief thought about it and nodded, "Success! I will find you a good way to farm the land, find strong labor, and work quickly! When will you do it?"

"Tomorrow, come after breakfast, and I'll only include a lunch." Song Qiu said.

As soon as I heard that a lunch was included, the women who gathered around were even more excited, wishing that they would call their men to go.

When they finally sent Song Qiu and the others away, the women surrounded the village chief in unison, saying in one go, "Village chief, tell my big cow to go!"

"Village chief, don't leave my dog ​​behind!"

"Village head! And my whole son!"

"..."

The village chief had a headache from being quarreled by a group of women, and when he raised his hand, his ears became quiet, and he said, "They give twenty yuan a day's wages, and also include a meal. Such a good thing, who will go to the town to find a short-term worker?" Can you find it? So, this job must be done by others! It is said that it takes two days, and it must be done by others in two days!"

The women chattered again.

"I know, I know! Village chief, my big cow works so hard!"

"My whole son just works hard, who doesn't know?"

"That's right, our family will definitely do a good job for others, and it's definitely right to choose our family's second gold!"

"..."

The village chief raised his hand again, "Okay, okay, I haven't counted the number of men who can work? Everyone, we will choose someone later, and let my family Dachang come and notify him from door to door!"

As soon as these words came out, the women would not dare to drag the village chief to make a fuss. The village chief is the authority of a village. Who would dare not listen to the village chief?

Whoever the village chief wants to choose, that is who he is.

Everyone dispersed, and the woman named Dou Hua took a step behind and smiled at the village chief, "Uncle, count me in too?"

The village chief frowned immediately, "I have already promised others that I will find strong laborers, you go, it will not delay things!"

"Uncle! I'm no worse than a man at work! At worst, I'll go an hour earlier and do more work, so you can count me in as one!" Douhua begged, "If you can earn the forty coins, give the ax a few more. The secondary medicine, maybe he will be fine?"

The village head frowned even more, thinking that this cousin's niece was also suffering. The man fell ill within two years of her marriage and wiped out her family's wealth. Now she is still lying on the bed and begs to be taken care of.

It's better to die than to live. Except that the ax can't get out of bed, it's still good for people. It's better than being a widow.

Really want to remarry?There are also children, mothers, how many are ruthless?

It's not easy either.

The village head thought for a while, then nodded, "Then you have to work hard, don't let others talk about it, you will embarrass our village!"

Douhua smiled happily, "Hey! Uncle, don't worry! I will work hard!"

……

After finding the person who cleaned up the wasteland, and returning to the town, the carpenter's business was also settled.

The carpenter's surname is Gao, an ancestral craftsman. After reading the drawings, he heard that it was introduced by Cheng Guanshi, so he immediately accepted the job. His three sons and two sons-in-law all worked with him. In addition, there are all kinds of relatives of the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law, who help with odd jobs and start work. There are many brothers.

With only him alone, the team responsible for building the house will be complete, saving you the need to find another person to do odd jobs.

Tao Dongcheng's search for the yard has also been done. In this town, if you want to talk about houses for sale, it's hard to find them for a while, but there are still quite a few houses for rent.

In the Yuqian Hutong behind the market, almost all the houses in this alley are rented out. If someone rents, someone will return it. Now there are two small yards for rent.

One yard has a well, the other doesn't, so we have to buy water.

The rent in Youjing is much more expensive, but it is fully furnished.

Tao Dongcheng was only in charge of searching, and Song Qiu had to decide which one to rent.

It's getting dark now, so if you want to go and see it, you can't see clearly. Besides, the left and right are only for short-term stays, not for buying, so you don't need to worry too much.

Song Qiu only heard Tao Dongcheng talk about the situation of the two small courtyards, so he settled on the one with Youjing, gave Tao Dongcheng some money, and told him to rent it now, first for a month.
