Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 331 Grandmother is afraid that my mother will sue her

Grandmother Su came out when she heard the commotion in the front yard. The old lady who used to be surrounded by servants now had only a middle-aged woman beside her.

As for this woman, the Su family kept her for nine chips a day.

As for the other servants in the family, they got up early in the morning and went to the literacy class with the big troops. After noon, they had to go out to work for the Xu family army.

There is a lot of construction going on in this city, manpower is needed everywhere, and all the beggars in the city have to get up and work. Under Xu Jiajun's rule, no one can be idle.

For the elderly, or the widows and widows who are sick and disabled and unable to work, the church in the city distributes porridge twice a day in the morning and evening.

When the Xu family came, they did not starve to death a single innocent civilian, and allowed these marginalized people who were living a difficult life to live a "good life" that they could not have imagined before.

Working for Xu Jiajun, Xu Jiachou's wages range from [-] to [-] yuan a day. Because he has to go to class in the morning, it is considered a half-day job, and ordinary workers can get [-] chips for half a day.

The Xu family's two catties are heavier than the old two catties, and these ten chips are exchanged for two catties of grain, which is enough to make thick porridge.

If it is heavy physical work such as repairing city walls, laying cement roads, and building houses, Xu Jiajun will distribute a bowl of soup with oil and water on the construction site every noon.

The servants in Su’s mansion like to go to the construction site the most, and now the master’s family can no longer restrict their freedom of labor. For this soup that can occasionally fish out a piece of meat and bones, who would be willing to stay in the mansion to serve the master’s family? ?
Moreover, there is no salary for serving the master and his wife. Before Xu Jiajun came, it would be good for them to get a hundred chips a month, let alone meat soup.

Now that Xu Jiajun is here, the servants who have attended the literacy class are all starting to calculate their accounts.

Working in Xujiajun for half a day can get ten chips, and after one month, it will be [-] chips, and there is also a daily subsidy of a bowl of meat soup. Isn't this life more nourishing than being a servant in the mansion?
Therefore, in order to keep two servants who served the grandparents of the Su family, Su Ci and Madam Su had to raise the wages of the servants in the family.

Seeing that we are all acquaintances and have been with each other for many years, and that the woman really can't do the heavy work of bringing soup, it is only possible to use nine chips a day's wages to keep people here.

The situation at the Liang Family Farm was similar, but he joined the Xu Family Army a little later than in the city, and Mrs. Liang was accompanied by many servants.

Now seeing the tragic scene where the old lady of the Su family, who used to pay attention to ostentation, had only one servant left, she couldn't help but click her tongue.

"This Xu family army has a new rule every day. They are so busy that they don't touch the ground, their minds are dizzy, and they don't know what changes will happen next." Mrs. Su sighed.

However, in her heart, because of her daughter's marriage, she 'badly' hoped that her in-laws who were far away in Zhuo County would also experience the power of the Xu family army.

Grandma Su invited the mother and daughter of Liang's family to have dinner together. A talk session lasted until mid-afternoon. The mother and daughter who had eaten a meal of porridge early in the morning were already hungry, but it was difficult to speak because of social etiquette.

Seeing the sincere invitation from the grandmother of the Su family, the mother and daughter of the Liang family gratefully accepted and followed the Su family to the backyard.

The food was already on the table, and the grandmother of the Su family came to ask them to eat.

Grandfather Su seems to have already eaten, holding a copy of the Guangming Shenbao in his hand, sitting on the grass futon in the courtyard, squinting at the sun and looking at it.

Seeing her grandfather squinting at the newspaper, Su Wen decided to take her grandfather to Xujiajun's health center to have a look at his eyes after a few days until the weekend.

The Xu family's medical team came from the city, and the head of the doctor was the famous Dr. Gu Weihe in the past. Dr. Gu had brought nurses to the school to give the girls a popular science course on physiological knowledge.

In the class, Nurse Gan said that the eyes also need to be well protected, and told them not to read under the dim oil lamp at night, otherwise they will get myopia.

Su Wen now suspects that there is something wrong with her grandfather's eyes, and he has the problem of myopia.

Nurse Gan also said that this problem can be completely solved by Xu Jiajun. There are such things as glasses, and you can see clearly when you wear them.

However, the material is precious and the price is high, and other people can't afford it.

"Wenwen, what's this word?" Grandfather Su saw his granddaughter coming in, he took out the newspaper in his hand, pointed to an unfamiliar Xu family character on it and asked her how to pronounce it.

At grandfather Su's age, Xu Jiajun didn't force them to attend literacy classes, as if he disliked their inefficiency and wasted teaching resources.

Of course, there are juniors in the family, and I am more eager to learn, so I can learn Xu's characters from newspapers.

Grandfather Su is self-taught, and occasionally asks his younger son Su Ci, who is too busy to see, or his granddaughter Su Wen.

As for the nine-year-old grandson, forget it, if Xu Jiajun hadn't forced the children to attend classes, this kid would have been kicked out of the school by the teacher long ago.

The grandma of the Su family was most worried about her little grandson, she had to tell him to attend classes every day, for fear that he would be killed by the Xu family army.

However, Xu Jiajun was very disciplined and did not kill students at will.

But the little grandson's refusal to change after repeated admonitions is enough to make Grandma Su fearful.

When Su Wen came to her grandfather, she didn't know the word either, but fortunately she had already learned pinyin, and through spelling, she read the word "喽" which looked simple but was actually difficult.

"Ah Ong, this should be narrow and flat, pronounced ze"

Su Wen liked the progressive old man like her grandfather very much. Her grandmother scoffed at the Xu family's simplified characters and didn't even want to touch them, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

"These Xu family characters are not complicated or simple. It's not interesting to learn." Grandma Su snorted at the grandparents and grandchildren in the courtyard, and invited the mother, daughter and daughter-in-law of the Liang family to the table, fearing that they would be hungry and panic.

The su family's grandparents didn't go to the confession meeting, but they also heard some specious news from the lively discussions in the city. When everyone sat down, they ignored the rules of eating and sleeping, and asked their daughter-in-law what the confession meeting was about. what.

While eating, Mrs. Su vividly told the story of Xu Yue leading the peasant representatives to complain and killing a family of evil gentry at the confidant meeting.

Speaking of the excitement, I accidentally sprayed a grain of corn on the back of Grandma Su's hand. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, for some reason, the two of them couldn't hold back, and both laughed .

Liang Xiaomei whispered to Su Wen in a low voice: "The old lady doesn't follow the rules anymore~"

Su Wen also covered her mouth and smiled, "She can't speak. Now women are listening to the Guangming Church. Grandma is afraid that my mother will accuse her of being harsh."

The two little girls looked at each other, as if they had imagined the miraculous scene of Grandma Su, who had always been strict and disciplined, being sued by Mrs. Su to the church, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mrs. Liang shook her head helplessly, and exchanged glances with Mrs. Su and Grandmother Su, but she didn't hold back.

Immediately, the dinner table burst into laughter.
