Although Landlord Bai is picky, he is willing to spend money when the farming is busy, so he can often give eighteen or twenty cash as wages.
Before Lao Zhou's family grew ginger and sold vegetables in the county, white landlords were an important source of income for Lao Zhou's family.
You can earn at least 1,000 yuan a year as a part-time job for white landlords, which is the least amount of time.
Basically, their mother's medicine money came from here.
So Man Bao subconsciously thinks that long-term workers are more profitable than short-term workers, because they often have work to do.
The three long-term workers looked at Man Bao sadly, and said, "Miss Man is joking."
The wages of long-term workers are not calculated by the day, but by the month.
Their monthly salary is 300 Wen, including food and housing.
For example, during the busy farming season, the food is made uniformly in Zhuangzi. After the busy farming period, the Bai family will give them some coarse grains, and they can cook as much as they want.
Therefore, those who eat less can save some food by themselves, and those who eat more can buy it with their own wages.
Man Bao counted, but said: "Three hundred Wen is not a lot, why can't you marry a wife?"
The long-term workers were even more sad. They all lowered their heads and gnawed on the steamed buns, not wanting to talk to Man Bao.
Man Bao wanted to know them very much. Last night, her father taught Man Bao that if she wanted people to do a good job, they had to have enough food, and told her not to treat the long-term workers who worked for them harshly.
And when they were about to go out this morning, Grandma Liu also stopped the three of them on purpose, telling them to be serious when they got to the field, and win people's hearts in the end, and they couldn't count on Baizhuangtou for everything.
Man Bao felt that she didn't need to win over the hearts of her brothers and the young and strong in the village. Bai Zhuangtou seemed to listen to them and treated them very well, especially Shan Bao.
Shanbao said east, but Baizhuangtou would definitely not say west.
So she looked around and squatted in front of the three long-term workers.
She felt she needed to talk to them about life.
The three people whose lives will be discussed:…
The three long-term workers were so entangled that they had nothing to say. Anyway, it was the noon break, and they were idle.
The main reason is that they expressed doubts about Man Bao's age. Can she understand what they said
That's right, the three of them didn't feel that it was hard to talk about their poverty. Changgong's poverty was a well-known fact, but they just thought it was boring to tell Man Bao that they were lighting a lamp to a blind man.
"I still have 50 cash left over from last month's monthly salary. Before the Chinese New Year, I will receive a month's wages and a red envelope, which should be about 350 cash. I plan to go to Jishang to buy some meat, and then I will buy some meat with the master." Rice noodles, have a good year, and the money will be spent."
"I caught a cold last month, and I went for 80 wen just to take the medicine, and I was delayed for more than ten days without going to the field. The wages were only half. I still want to save money to buy better clothes."
"I've spent all my money on wine and appetizers."
The three looked at Man Bao together, "So Miss Man, you see we don't have a penny, can we marry a wife?"
Man Bao was stunned, "You spend a lot of money. My elder brother doesn't spend a hundred cash all year round. This is because there is a city fee to go to the county town, and occasionally I have to buy a few buns to eat in the county town, or give it to the county town. We spend a lot of money on sweets and treats…”
So in her opinion, 300 Wen a month is really a lot.
Can you save at least two slings of money a year
You can marry a daughter-in-law for about five pennies, so three years of hard work will be enough.
She didn't understand why they couldn't get a wife.
Man Bao counted them, "My second brother and fourth brother are the biggest spenders in the family, but they don't spend much. Like my second brother, he goes to the county town to sell things every day when he is busy. My mother spends the most money every day. I would give him twenty Wen. But except for the entrance fee and stall fee, and the occasional one or two Wen to buy hot soup, he saved the rest of the money and took it back to my second sister-in-law... "
Of course, Zhou Yilang did this kind of thing secretly, but when the couple hid money for money, they would not hide from the youngest daughter, Sanya.
If Sanya knows it, Erya will know it, and if Erya knows it, Manbao will also know it.
"And my fourth brother, he used to buy food for himself or for us as long as he had money in his hand, but after having my fourth sister-in-law, he is easy to pick. If he has money, he has to save it for me first. Fourth sister-in-law buys brown sugar, buys fabrics for my future nephew... so even if you go to the city, you spend no more than ten cash each time, how can you spend so much money?"
The three long-term workers were heartbroken, and one of them said angrily: "If we have a daughter-in-law, we can also save money."
The other two agreed.
"Then you have to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, and it's not enough for you to be rich, you have to clean yourself up and be more energetic." Daughter-in-law, your family must not only have land, a house, and money, but you must also be clean and capable.
Seeing the disapproval of the three people, Man Bao lifted his spirits, turned on his chattering attribute, glanced at their dirty hands, did not shake them, but squatted in front of them and said earnestly: "Our old Zhou family, Do you know?"
The three nodded, can you guarantee it
They have been doing long-term work at Master Bai's house for three or four years, and they are very familiar with the villagers in Qili Village. Old Zhou's family is well-known in Qili Village.
"Does our old Zhou family have land?"
The three nodded.
"Is there a room?"
The three nodded again.
"Do you have a good reputation?"
The three of them glanced at Man Bao and nodded slowly.
"But you don't know, my parents told my fourth brother when they were young that they have to work hard and be clean, so that they can marry a daughter-in-law when they grow up." Man Bao said: "My parents used to be worried. I'm afraid that my fourth brother won't be able to marry a wife, my family's conditions are so good, and you have no land and no house, if you don't clean yourself up and work harder, how can other girls fall in love with you?"
Chang Gong said together: "Miss Man, we don't expect a girl to fall in love with us, as long as a widow can fall in love with us."
Chang Gong Er said: "Yes, and Miss Man, the reason why your parents are afraid that your fourth brother will not be able to marry a wife is not because your fourth brother is not clean, but because your fourth brother has a bad reputation, right?"
Changgong Sandao: "That's right, although we didn't save any money, we didn't gamble."
Man Bao looked at the faces of the three of them one by one, shook his head and said: "If you think so, then you are finished. I am afraid that you will never be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life, even if it is a widow."
"Why?"
"Because you are ugly, look at how handsome my fourth brother is!"
The three Changgongs turned their heads to look at Zhou Zhoulang, who was happily talking to someone on the rock not far away, and all looked away.
Man Bao continued: "Although my fourth brother made mistakes, he is handsome and doesn't like to be clean, but at least his clothes are clean and tidy, and his head and face are clean, otherwise why would my fourth sister-in-law fall in love with him? ? Take a look at yourself. Oh, if you can’t look at yourself, then take a look at each other. The three of you look similar now.”
The three of them looked at each other, then turned away in disgust.
