The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

The school was slowly getting into shape, and the repairs on Zhuangzi's side had long since ended. Li Mingli was a little too busy to do both ends by himself, so He Wen was watching over Zhuangzi's side these few days.Zhao Yunlan came to Zhuangzi after she came out of the school today, and now the Zhuangzi is doing the final cleaning.

"When will you start raising seedlings?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

He Wen: "Go back to Madam, the third master said that it will be warmer when the weather is warmer."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, "Do the villagers employed in the field have any complaints about their work?"

He Wen: "When the third master was away, some of them were eager to move and wanted to rent our land. I strictly refused. After the wages were settled once, no one mentioned it again. Everyone is working more now. Pay attention."

Zhao Yunlan can understand these villagers' obsession with their own farming. In this era of low productivity and technological level, farming is indeed most affected by the weather. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to rely on the sky to reward food. He can deceive people, and he can reap as much as he works hard. Compared with earning money by other means, the harvest of the land can make people feel more secure.

Thinking about not being able to harvest the last grain of millet or wheat in the land that I have worked so hard to harvest in my own granary, that really makes the farmer feel sad.

At the beginning when Zhuangzi was recruiting workers, Li Mingli only felt it was difficult, especially those tenants who made trouble the most. Those tenants saw that Li Mingli was so talkative, so they had to rent out the land again. Li Mingli had already made it very clear that these lands would not be rented out. , but you can hire everyone to help, and the wages will not be less. As a result, these tenants are unwilling and even join other people in the village to fight against Li Mingli. people only.

Li Mingli really didn't recruit anyone. Even though the salary had been given objectively, everyone was still unmoved.Li Mingli was laughed at by the crowd.

In the end, Li Mingli found the village head and gave him two jars of wine. The village head was so dizzy that he agreed to help Li Mingli find someone.But after waking up, the village head regretted it, and had no choice but to help find someone. Li Mingli was dumbfounded when he saw the people, the old man and half-grown girls and boys, all of them looked strong.

Li Mingli was stunned for a while before he pulled himself together, comfortingly thinking that it would be fine if someone would come, didn't he also follow him to work in the fields when he was half a child?As much as you can do: "Okay, thank you village chief."

The people the village head sought were all from the most difficult households in the village, including old people who were lonely and lonely, and children who had lost their parents.These people are even looked down upon by those landlords as tenants. If it weren't for the righteousness of the village and the frequent donations, I am afraid that everyone would have been sold and sold, and some would have starved to death.

The people who came stood in a row without saying a word, Li Mingli thought it would be convenient for management.After talking to me about what to do next, one person gave out a tool for everyone to go to the ground.

"When you get the hoe and dustpan, you have to keep it by yourself. I will take it back after work every day, and distribute it on the next day. If someone dares to steal it, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Mingli said sternly.

Everyone nodded and promised not to take it randomly. These people who were arranged to farm the land cherished this opportunity. It stands to reason that if everyone in the village came to apply for work, they would not be able to work at all. Li Mingli also wanted to choose in his heart. Those who work fast and are in good health.

What Li Mingli should say is important, so that everyone can do things with confidence.However, these people are not slow in doing things, but work harder in order to keep the job.

The old people have been doing farm work all their lives, but when they get old, they lose their relatives and land due to accidents, but these jobs have formed muscle memory.Although it is a little inconvenient for his legs and feet to be older now, it does not delay the work at hand at all, and Li Mingli does not need to worry about doing things in an orderly manner.

Those children worked even harder. The children spontaneously divided into groups and followed the old people. The old people did what they wanted to arrange for these children. It was as if they were going to collect the grass roots and move them to the ridge. They couldn’t move too much at once. If you want to run a few more times, the big deal is to speed up and not waste time.

Li Mingli saw it all, and asked the kitchen to add some meat for lunch.Although not everyone can eat meat, it can also make everyone drink broth.And there are enough coarse grains and pancakes, and you can only work hard when you are full.

On the first day of work, he was full, and the old man sighed in his heart, while the children were all very happy talking about how much broth they drank and how many pancakes they had just eaten.

Although there is alms from the village on weekdays, it is not as full as today's meal. Everyone has a hard time. It is the greatest benevolence for the villagers to save some food from their homes to help.

On the fifth day of work, Li Mingren settled the wages for everyone. According to the agreement at the beginning, it was [-] cents a day. Everyone was very happy to get the money. Naturally, this matter could not be hidden in the village. .

Seeing that these people who came to work had enough to eat and their wages, naturally some people couldn't help themselves, as long as someone took a step first, they would naturally follow the others.

Li Mingli was helping with the work in the field at that time, and was looking up for a rest, when he saw a huge group of people coming towards him, some of them had hoes in their hands, some of them had sickles in their hands, Li Mingli was so scared that he thought he was looking for trouble.

"Fellow folks, let's talk about something, what are you doing?" Li Mingli took a few steps back.

A few old workers also came out to persuade: "Everyone, don't fight."

The leading villager said: "Oh, I misunderstood. I just wanted to ask Mr. Li if he is still hiring. We all want to come to work."

Only then did Li Mingli calm down, stand firm and said, "Sure!"

There is no way, these dozens of acres of land really depend on these people. I don't know how long it will take. Of course, Li Mingli needs manpower. He originally thought of buying a cow to help plow the land. Who would have thought that Shiyang County would not have a cow.To buy a cow, he had to go to Fucheng. Li Mingli went there several times but never found a suitable cow.

"Let me just say it first. Now the wages for recruiting workers are not fifteen cents, and the current wages are ten cents a day." Although Li Mingli recruited these villagers regardless of the past, he should not be led by the nose by these villagers. Know that you are not easy to bully.

The villagers were silent, and one villager said: "Then do you still care about the food?"

Li Mingli replied: "Take care of the food, the food is the same without any change."

"Okay, I'll come." A woman said suddenly.

A man next to him said: "Third sister-in-law, you can help third brother take care of the land at home, so why come here to join in the fun."

"It's up to you. It's enough for your third brother to take the children to work on the land at home. I can't come out to earn some money to subsidize the family!" The third sister-in-law rolled her eyes, rolled up her sleeves and punched the man next to her.

Li Mingli: "Okay, those who want to work can sign up with me, and I also agreed that I don't have any farm tools here, so you need to bring your own. And I only recruit [-] people, no matter men or women, sign up on a first-come, first-served basis."

Li Mingli took his third sister-in-law just now to the Zhuangzi to sign up for the contract.

"Third sister-in-law, right? I have agreed that once the contract is signed, I will have to finish my work before I can leave. I can't just stop coming if I can't come midway. Even if the family is really busy with something, I will tell you in advance." The leave of absence is approved, but if the leave exceeds three days, you don't have to come back." Li Mingli explained everything clearly before asking the third sister-in-law to consider whether to go to work.

The third sister-in-law smiled: "I know, I understand all the rules, and I promise not to mess around. Don't look at me as a woman, I can do my work neatly, and my family has to listen to me when it comes to homework."

Li Mingli smiled: "Women can hold up half the sky! The third sister-in-law is a powerful person, if the third sister-in-law has no problems, just press her fingerprint!"

After the third sister-in-law pressed her fingerprints and went out, Zhuangzi had already waited for a large number of people outside.

He Wen stood at the door and said: "Those who come to work stand in line at my side, one after the other. I just signed up for one, and there are still nineteen people left. First come, first served."

Swish Swish Swish, a row of people stood there neatly, He Wen was satisfied, and said: "The first nineteen people, you have made sure that you are going to work, if you go back after signing the contract, our Zhuangzi will definitely Will not use this person again."

Everyone shook their heads, "Don't go back on your word, let's make up our minds."

He Wen nodded: "Everyone, let's go in one by one. Those who didn't register this time will still have a chance next time. Our Zhuangzi has a lot of work, please come early next time."

Now that there are enough people, the work in the field can be done faster.

Zhao Yunlan went around the field, looked at the half-grown children, and thought about the enrollment situation of the school. It is not impossible to take these children into the school, but if they are not handled well, they will easily be regarded as shelter by others So, when the time comes, it will be a dilemma for myself.Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable. I have become a good person, but others don't think so.Zhao Yunlan shook her head, I have to think about it again.
