Chapter 310 Chat

After lunch at home, Zhao Yunlan played with his little girl for a while. After coaxing her to fall asleep during nap time, she went to tell Ruiwen to take a nap too. After the arrangements for the two children were settled, Yunlan asked Aunt Cui to stay at home and take care of the children as usual, and took Chunxiang and He Wen to Zhuangzi.

A few days ago, there was not enough wood to build the factory building, and the lumber dealer originally negotiated was unable to supply the goods in time for some reasons, so Zhao Yunlan went to deal with this matter and was busy for a while. Finally, we bought all the wood we needed from several nearby villages and asked carpenters to polish and prepare it before it could be used. This back and forth delayed the construction period a lot.

The carriage rattled into Qinjia Village, and everyone in the village knew at a glance that this was Dong Zhao's family.

"Mr. Zhao's family, we're here to inspect again today!" A woman used a word she had learned from nowhere.

"Mother Dazhu, please give way. Don't block Dong Zhao's horse. Your loud voice may frighten the horse and scare Dong Zhao's family."

"Bah, you're a Sichuan brat. You keep your mouth shut when you can't speak. You're not polite. You should call me sister-in-law when it's appropriate. You don't have to talk to me in a big or small way. It's a joke to my employer."

The man named Qin Chuan realized that he had made a mistake and was at a loss for a moment. He nodded and apologized to Zhao Yunlan, but there was still a sense of pride in his heart that he disliked women.

Zhao Yunlan, who was in the car, had already poked his head out when he heard the woman's greeting. At this moment, he could feel the atmosphere of some dispute between the two. He thought that there must be some stumbling between the two before, but he didn't ask any more questions. The reason is just to say gently:

"I wanted to take a break from school today to have a look at the situation here. Folks, you all work at Zhuangzi, or someone in your family works at Zhuangzi.

If you all encounter problems at work, you can go to Qin Laoba directly. We are all fellow villagers, so it is easier to talk to him if you have anything to say. Qin Laoba will also inform Mr. He in time, and we will naturally help you with your reasonable appeals. Let’s solve it. "

The man from this woman's family was helping to build the factory building on Zhuangzi. He looked playful but sincere in his heart. He thought about how recently his man had brought home more coppers than before when he worked so hard outside. He even occasionally I could save half a steamed bun and take it home. Half of the steamed bun was made with fine flour, not to mention that I brought back a small piece of fat for my child. The more the woman thinks in her heart, the less irritated she becomes towards Qin San'er.

Why did Qin Chuan come to provoke Dazhu Niang? The reason was that he had some quarrels with this woman's man when he was at work. It was just about who did more and who did less, and the coins he got were different. Qin Chuan's man It's not bad, but it's itchy, commonly known as a mean person.

Qin Chuan thought that he was the one who did more and got less. However, judging from the recruitment situation of He Wen, Qin Chuan did not have any skills, and his body was not tall. There are a lot of villagers like this in the village who have accumulated the labor they have accumulated by doing farm work for many years.

Considering that the Qinchuan family is indeed in difficulty, there are old parents at home who can help with some work. However, the family has a large population, and Qinchuan also has two brothers. One brother injured his health when he went out to work many years ago, so he cannot No matter how hard the job is, there are still three and a half-year-old children at the back. Qin Chuan's younger brother went to serve in the military within two years of his marriage and never came back, leaving only his two children and his wife at home.

Qin Chuan also has two children. Over the years, he has taken his wife with him to support his parents and eldest brother's family, while he has to help his younger siblings and the two children.

At first glance, the Qinchuan family has a large population, but there is only one strong labor force available at this stage. He Wen thought about his wife's words and would help as much as he could, so he recruited Qin Chuan, and then he could only arrange for him to go there. Do something that looks simple but requires effort.

The man in this woman's family, a man named Qin Zhuangniu, sounds like he has a lot of strength, but he has learned the carpenter's work before. Although he is not as good at the craftsmanship as the professional carpenter hired, he is still good at it. I could help out on the side and carry wood easily, so I could be considered a dual-purpose person, so I was assigned to the group of carpenter assistants.

There are not many people in this group like Qin Zhuangniu, just two or three. Moreover, Qin Zhuangniu was an honest person and worked very hard from beginning to end after being hired. Naturally, the wages of the two men were different.

There is always gossip in the village, and Dazhu Niang also likes to chat. Now that her life is getting better, her children are sent to school, and her husband keeps a small jar of copper coins when he comes back, so he can't help but reveal something to show off. Tone.

The women chatted and gossiped together. Qin Chuan's daughter-in-law went home and casually chatted about these things. Maybe it was out of jealousy or other reasons. In addition, Qin Chuan's gossip couldn't help but go to Qin Zhuang. Qin Zhuangniu tolerated the bull's stubble once or twice. No matter how honest a person is, he still has a temper. After being annoyed again, Qin Zhuangniu got angry and went back, so the two of them had a little quarrel. .

Of course, when Qin Chuan saw that the other party was serious about it, he also hesitated. He was the one who caused the trouble first, so he didn't dare to say anything if he was wronged. The carpenter mediated on the spot, and the matter stopped causing trouble.

No, today Qin Chuan happened to be pretending to be a brick and saw Dazhu Niang, but he couldn't help but open his mouth. This is what happened in the previous scene. Zhao Yunlan didn't want to get involved in the quarrels between these villagers. If someone committed cheating and cheating at work, which delayed the construction period, he would just fire him, so as not to delay his own progress.

"Dong Zhao's family, we have nothing to do. Thanks to Dong Zhao's family for taking care of our village, our family can find work without leaving the village." The woman spoke first, not wanting to argue with Qin Chuan anymore.

Yun Lan smiled and then got off the carriage, thinking that it was only a few steps away from Zhuangzi, and there were a lot of wood and stone bricks piled in front of it, so it would be no better than a carriage.

"You are Dazhu's mother." Zhao Yunlan affirmed.

"Hey, eh, yes, my boss remembers my Dazhu." The woman smiled with a wrinkled face.

"Well, your Dazhu is a smart child with a good personality. I heard that Dazhu said that there is a younger sister named Xiaoxing in the family who is also a smart child."

Dazhu Niang was so happy when she was praised like this, and she still said modestly: "No matter what, the little girl is a ghost." "Whenever you send Xiao Xing to school, the child will definitely learn things quickly. "Zhao Yunlan talked straightforwardly about the school's recruitment, but he couldn't talk in a roundabout way when chatting with these villagers.

Dazhu Niang's smile became even brighter, and she said without any perfunctory expression: "Isn't it just waiting for the child's father to save money? When the school starts in the next year, we will also send my daughter to it."

"Well, then I will wait for you in the school." Zhao Yunlan received a satisfactory reply. He didn't know what would happen in the next year. At least now this woman can cooperate with him, which is pleasant to hear. After saying that, he turned around and shouted:

"Qin Chuan, come up a few steps."

Qin Chuan was walking behind with the pointed bricks on his back, keeping an eye on what was going on in front of him. When he heard the sermon and sent his children to school, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. There were so many children in the family, but none of them were sent to school. Seeing that many families with children in the village were gritting their teeth and sending their children to school, Qin Chuan also thought about it, but these teeth broke when he bit them and could not hold them up at all.

Qin Chuan walked thousands of steps, but was still two steps away from Zhao Yunlan. He was worried that the bricks in the basket would accidentally fall and hit his employer's feet.

"I heard from He Wen that you have several children at home, and they have reached the age of enrolling in our school."

"Well, boss, six of the seven children in the family can be sent to school."

It seems that Qin Chuan also knows about the academy. Zhao Yunlan thought to himself and asked, "Have you ever thought about sending your children to the academy?"

I must have thought about it. Just a few days ago, Qin Chuan and his wife were planning to send their children to school before going to bed. If they had enough money, they would send their eldest brother and younger brother's children first.

The eldest brother and the younger brother, one of whom is in poor health and the other has no news, cannot help raise the child, so they want their child to learn how to read and help out as a waiter in the future. Even if they are better, they can support themselves by working as an accountant. .

I also thought that if it didn't work, I would send the smarter child in the family first, and let that child learn and come back to teach the other children in the family.

But from beginning to end, he never thought about sending his children to school first. Qin Chuan felt that he could still work and his children had someone to rely on, so it didn't matter if he went later.

"I really can't take care of it at home. I just want to be able to eat meat for the whole family during the Chinese New Year this year. I don't dare to think too much." Qin Chuan said something different, fearing that he would show his overestimation in front of Dazhu Niang.

Zhao Yunlan no longer persuaded the children to send them to school as before, but said softly: "Do it well, Zhuangzi has a lot of work, and I won't treat you badly if you do your duty. There will be opportunities to work in the future, and I You all know that there are no strict rules for men and women here. There will be a lot of work then, and anyone who has time at home can come and try to be recruited."

Qin Chuan was carrying a backpack with bricks on his back. He had to lower his head. After understanding Zhao Yunlan's words, he felt warm in his heart, which reached his eyes. He had to bury his head lower and said vaguely: " Yes, thank you boss for taking care of me."

"You are the biggest thank you to me for doing a good job for me. You go and do your work, I will look around." After saying that, Zhao Yunlan left with He Wen and others.

Qin Chuan glanced at Dazhu Niang and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, please go back and cook. Brother Niu will be off work soon."

"Hey, Kawako, you..."

Before Dazhu Niang finished speaking, Qin Chuan continued to move bricks outside with the empty basket on his back.

Zhao Yunlan inadvertently resolved a grudge, but she did not tell lies to Qin Chuan. In the future, Zhuangzi will need more people. When the factory is built, they will continue to hire people to make soap, sweet potato powder, and plant tree seeds. Pepper, a lot of things require people, and I'm afraid there won't be enough people in Qinjia Village to recruit them by then.

 New year, new chapter, I will continue to work hard to update the article.

  2024 is a lot of code words.

  I read what I wrote earlier some time ago, and a lot of questions came up. I will slowly revise it after the full text is completed.
