black-bellied peasant woman

Chapter 69
Thinking of this, Su Jin took Brother Liu and Daniel to the town to buy soft-shelled turtles. She wanted to raise ducks and soft-shelled turtles before the high incidence of pests, so that they could adapt to rice. The environment of living together can also let everyone know how to raise ducks. After all, ducks are not as sensible as soft-shelled turtles. Turtles are not interested in rice and only like to eat those pests. So when the soft-shelled turtles are full, they will automatically drill into the mud to sleep , but ducks can run around, so after the ducks are full during the day, they should be driven back to the duck pen to prevent them from accidentally injuring the rice.

And during the day, everyone should also pay attention. If the ducks grow up, they will bite the rice by mistake. This is mainly due to management, so that the ducks develop good habits and only eat pests. The attracted pests are enough to feed these ducks.

After the soft-shelled turtles and ducks were bought back, everyone had set up duck pens next to each mu of fields according to Su Jin's previous instructions, and drove the ducks into the duck pens, and put the soft-shelled turtles into the paddy fields in batches. .

After doing all this, Su Jin probably told everyone her thoughts. She will stay here in the future and work with everyone to slowly improve everything here. She will not rest assured until everyone is familiar with it. to do something else.

Then she distributed last month's wages to everyone. Originally, it was to be replaced by grain, but now the grain in the field is not mature, so she can only pay the wages first. When the grain here is ripe in the future, it can be used Food replaced wages.

After the wages were paid, Su Jin and Brother Liu went down the mountain together. Daniel insisted on giving them a ride. Now that Daniel and the others live on the mountain, it is less hard work to run around, but Su Jin and Brother Liu They still live at the bottom of the mountain. It's not that they don't want to move up. It's just that once they move up, it will be a problem for the children to go to class. Moreover, the things on the mountain have not been harvested yet, so Su Jin is not willing to spend any more manpower and material resources. Come build a house.

After the small house she lived on the mountain was demolished, there is now only a row of small bungalows where long-term laborers live in. Although she and Baobao are only two people, they need to build another house if they want to move here, she thought , I'd better wait until this season's rice is harvested, and see how much money I can get, and then I'll talk about moving it up later.

And now these two mountains, she has only reclaimed less than [-] acres of land, because of limited manpower, and she does not want to miss the time for this season's rice transplanting, so she only reclaimed these lands, and waited until this season's rice is mature and harvested After that, she will find some long-term laborers based on the harvest, and then reclaim all the uncultivated land on the mountain and plant them with rice. Then the day when they will move to the mountain will not be far away.

Thanks to Catcher Liang's blessing, the shops in the town were doing well, and no one would come to provoke him anymore. After that incident, Yuanwai Zhao also calmed down a lot.

In this way, time passed slowly in peace, and the rice on the mountain ushered in the flowering season in August in the blink of an eye. Because of the advanced pest control method, it successfully passed the most rampant period of pests. In October, the rice When it was officially mature and the plump grains were hanging down heavily, Su Jin looked at the harvest scene in the [-] mu paddy field, and burst into tears with excitement.

In the past few months, she has made money by selling the fish in the fish pond. Later, the chickens and ducks on the mountain can lay eggs, and then Xuanyue and the others said that the prey they hunted is getting less and less. There might not be anything to sell on this mountain. At that time, she was very worried, fearing that the business in the store would be delayed, but now seeing the rice, she actually burst into tears.

"Miss Su, what's the matter with you?" Yong Niang looked at Su Jin who was standing beside the field stalk with a worried face and asked, she could always see a smile on Su Jin's face on weekdays, but why on this day when the rice was ripe? Here, she was crying.

Yong Niang is Brother Liu's daughter-in-law, and she is also a member of the group of long-term workers that Xuan Yue hired last time. She is smart and studious. After she came here, she was picked out by Su Jin and kept with her. Most of it was taken care of by her, while Mrs. Liu was in charge of the pear grove on the other side, that is, the part where chickens, ducks and fish were raised. Both of them are now Su Jin's good helpers.

Su Jin turned to look at Yong Niang, wiped away tears with a smile, "Yong Niang, I'm so happy, I cried with joy, it's okay, I'm really fine."

"Miss Su, I'm really not used to your polite words, but I can understand this word and I'm so happy, that's why I cry, right?" Master Yun learned to read and write, and Master Yun was also happy to teach her, and now Yongniang is the most literate among these long-term workers.

"Yong Niang, would you like to learn how to keep accounts?" Su Jin thought about the coming busy days of business transactions, and she would definitely not be able to handle it by herself, so why not take advantage of the fact that everyone is about to harvest now, and there will be no eternity. When Niang has something to do, let Yong Niang learn to keep accounts with him, so that it will be easier.

Hearing this, Yong Niang's eyes lit up, and she asked in great surprise, "Miss Su, is she willing to teach me? To be honest, I really want to learn, but because I was poor in the past, no one was willing to teach, so I only see you now." I want to learn everything, hehe."

Hearing this, Su Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Let's leave the rest to them. Just follow me and learn how to keep accounts. When you learn it, I will teach you about accounting matters every year in the future." Here we go."

"I will definitely work hard." Yong Niang nodded excitedly. She found that after being with Su Jin, not only did her life become much better, but she also learned a lot. The guy in her family is honest and honest. Selling strength, but she is different, she is a woman, has no skills, let alone strength, now she has learned a lot with Su Jin, if she learns to keep accounts, then she will definitely be able to do it for a long time in the future stay here.

Because Ms. Su said that she does not raise idlers here, and there will be an exam every year. Although everyone doesn't know what this exam is, after hearing this, they all feel that they should do their best to do what Ms. Su told them to do. Well, as long as they feel that they are not doing well enough, they will take the initiative to ask Ms. Su, and every time their questions will be answered patiently and meticulously by Ms. Su, now, they not only get a fixed salary, but also can eat well They were full, dressed warmly, and learned a lot of things they didn't understand before. They felt that it would be nice if they could stay here for a long time.

Therefore, although everyone was very curious about the exam that Ms. Su mentioned, no one dared to ask. They only thought that if they worked harder, they should be able to pass the exam.
