Reborn as a scholar to become self-improvement

Chapter 136

At this time, Mo Chenyi was still innocent, and Su Yuan suddenly had an evil thought of trying to bring Brother Mo down.

But this thought is fleeting, it's better for Brother Mo to grow up slowly, so as not to be encouraged by her to grow into something wrong.

Around the end of September, the cotton in Su Yuan's house bloomed.On weekends, Su Yuan and her mother went to the cotton fields together. Su Yuan stood on the ground and looked at the hundreds of acres of endless white cotton in her house. ah!

Cotton picking machines were not popular in this era. At this time, hundreds of acres of cotton had to be picked one by one by hand.The workers who picked cotton came from all corners of the country, and there were people from every provincial capital.Wang Lihua didn't know what kind of people to hire to pick up cotton, so she hired local Uighurs at Su Yuan's suggestion.

Many people in the company were unwilling to hire Uyghurs to pick cotton. Firstly, they had to take care of the Uyghurs’ food, drink and shelter.

Because of this, Su Yuan felt that it was most appropriate to hire Uighurs to pick cotton.Because few people hire them, they are relatively cheap.

Their family hired more than a dozen Uyghurs who picked up cotton. Su Yuan and Wang Lihua went to Shajingzi to pick up these dozen Uyghurs in person. The mother and daughter negotiated the price with these Uyghurs in Shajingzi.

Cotton in the company cannot be sold privately. Every household has to weigh and record the cotton picked up by the workers, and then hand it over to the cotton factory of the company, and then the company will pull it together and sell it at a uniform price.

The price generally given to cotton pickers in the company is one yuan and one kilogram. If the worker picks up ninety kilograms of cotton in the cotton field today, the price is calculated by multiplying ninety kilograms by one yuan.The prices for Uighurs are much cheaper, about [-] cents a catty, but they also cost a lot of money for food and accommodation.

Since this is the time when the number of people picking cotton from outside is increasing rapidly, it is impossible for Su Yuan and the others to get another house with a rent of one or two hundred a year.Now the price of a house in the company is two to three hundred yuan a month at least.

Su Yuan settled the bill and suggested that Wang Lihua move out of the house in the company and return to live in the regiment headquarters every day, vacating the house in the company for the Uighurs to live in.As for the food, let the Uighurs do it themselves, they just provide flour and oil.

Su Yuan and her family's house in the company had two compartments. Su Yuan and her mother bought a few planks, and built a bunk in each of the two rooms that could accommodate a dozen people.Men sleep outside, women sleep inside.

The Uighurs don't pay too much attention. They are naturally happy to provide them with housing and flour and oil.Uighurs believe in Islam, they don't eat big meat, they work in places where Han people gather, and it is of course a dream for them to be able to cook for themselves.

For this reason, Su Yuan also asked her mother to find two men to build two stoves in the yard, so that the Uighurs could bake naan for themselves.

Su Yuan and her mother perfectly solved the problem of food and housing for the Uighurs, which saved a lot of money.

Su Yuan knew very well that the conflict between the Uighurs and the Han was a long-standing problem between the two races, and many Han people in the company looked down on the Uyghurs.I despise them for not being clean, not taking a bath for ten and a half months, and even despise them for being poor and having nowhere to live.

This weekend afternoon, Su Yuan helped her mother pack the cotton that the Uyghurs picked up for the day. When they walked home with the Uyghurs, the Uyghurs hired by her family were thrown watermelons by some teenagers riding tricycles. The skin, the watermelon rind was thrown on the head of one of the Uighur aunts impartially.

This Uighur aunt is very kind, seeing that the other party is a child, she didn't care too much, but just wiped her face and muttered something in her mouth.But seeing this scene made Su Yuan feel sad. They relied on their own hands to support themselves, so why should they be discriminatory?

Su Yuan was so angry that she dragged the boy off the tricycle. Su Yuan's taekwondo skills came in handy, and the strength of her hands left him no room to parry.Su Yuan brought the boy to the Uighur aunt and asked the boy to apologize to the aunt.

The boy was dragged by Su Yuan and wanted to beat Su Yuan, but Su Yuan held him tightly, and he couldn't move at all.The boy was so helpless, he said "I'm sorry" to the Uighur aunt in a low voice.

Although the Uighur aunt didn't understand Chinese very well, she probably knew that Su Yuan was helping her, and she immediately had a good impression of the little girl from the landlord's house.

Su Yuan let the boy go, and asked the aunt in a low voice in Uighur if she was okay?
The aunt shook her head and said gently, "It's okay."

The fact that Su Yuan helped the Uighurs hired by the family spread quickly to Wang Lihua's ears. At first, Wang Lihua was quite disdainful. She said, "Why are you helping Uighurs to join in the fun?"

Su Yuan frowned and looked at her mother: "Mom, that's not the case. Mutual respect and respect between people is still important. Besides, if the landlord treats the helper well, the helper will help work hard, right?" Su Yuan took the opportunity to brainwash Wang Lihua, completely washing away the "racial discrimination" in Wang Lihua's mind.

Not every Uighur is sloppy, and not every Han is clean and good-natured.There are no absolutes in people. There are good people and bad people in every nation and every place. Just because a mouse stained a pot of soup black, it cannot be said that all the soup in the pot is dirty.

After being "educated" by the woman, Wang Lihua bought ten catties of mutton the next day and sent it to the Uighurs employed by her family.Sure enough, on the second day, those Uighurs picked up an average of about ten kilograms more cotton per person.

Wang Lihua yelled, it seems to be kind to these Uighurs, and they can work harder.

Su Yuan's family's cotton production is good, and he envies the people in the company with a lot of votes.Su Yuan's uncle and aunt saw that Wang Lihua's life was getting better and better, and the relationship between Wang Lihua and Qin Cen was getting better, and the two began to curry favor with each other.

The two of them went to Qin Cen's office every now and then to deliver things, but of course Qin Cen would not accept them, and because of Wang Lihua's relationship, Qin Cen did not broadcast and criticize their gifts.
