Wang Jinhe looked at the land deed that Xie Kui sent over and said gratefully, "Uncle, thank you for troubling you again."
"Why are you being so polite to me? What are you going to do with this quagmire? Find someone to dig it out or something?" Xie Kui asked after sitting down opposite Wang Jinhe.
"I plan to find someone to dig it out." The farmhands and other people in the family have been very busy recently and have no time to help dig the mud.
"Uncle, do you have a suitable candidate?" Wang Jinhe asked Xie Kui.
Xie Kui thought for a moment and said, "Now that you ask, there really is a candidate."
"Then uncle, please find as many people as possible to help me dig out this quagmire as soon as possible." Wang Jinhe said.
"Okay, they'll probably be able to come over the day after tomorrow."
"The wages are 80 cents a day, and meals are not provided."
"No problem. You pay such a high salary, there will definitely be a lot of people coming here to earn money." Xie Kui said with a smile.
The person he was looking for this time was from the village where Rong’s mother came from.
Life in that village is not easy either, so if they were to come, there would probably be a lot of people.

As for why we didn’t help their village, it was mainly because it was a bit far from here.
Got to take it slow.
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle."
Xie Kui waved his hand and left. When he got home, he found Rong and said, "Wife, do you want to go back to your parents' home? I'll go with you."
"Why are you going there?" Isn't he very busy recently? How can he have the chance to go there
"Didn't Xiaohe buy the mud pit in the west? We need to find someone to dig the mud pit. I thought of going to my father-in-law's place to ask someone to come and help. The pay is eighty cents a day, and meals are not provided. It's just a bit far." Xie Kui said after a moment of hesitation.
It is not convenient to travel back and forth due to the long distance.
"Don't we still have an old house? If they come, they can stay there temporarily. If they want to eat, they can cook for themselves or find two people to help them cook. That's fine too."
When Xie Kui heard this, he thought it was a good idea and he could discuss this matter with Xiao He.
"Then I'll go talk to Xiao He about this."

"good."
Wang Jinhe was a little confused when he saw Xie Kui coming again: "What's wrong, uncle?"
"Xiao He, the people I want to find are from your aunt's family. It's a bit far from here, and I can give them accommodation in my old house. As for meals, I want to discuss with you. Do you think it's possible to pay them less and find three people to help them cook?" Xie Kui expressed his thoughts.
"Oh, I'll pay for the dishes. The wages are still 80 cents a day. As for the cook, it will be 60 cents." Wang Jinhe said after thinking for a while.
"But these vegetables may be bought from you uncles. I can't separate the ones here." Except for those bought by familiar people, the vegetables here are all sent to Beijing.
“That’s no problem.” Xie Kui naturally knew that it was impossible to take out the food from Wang Jinhe’s home for them to eat. After all, the food from her home was to be sent to the capital.
"I have plenty of rice and flour at home, so you can just take it from me when the time comes."
"good."
After talking to Wang Jinhe, Xie Kui went home and told Rong that she agreed.
Hearing that Wang Jinhe did not lower the salary, Rong felt mixed and happy.
"When they come over this time, I want to find Xiao He to see if she can help them."
"Don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. I'll be able to arrange it for them by the second half of the year at the latest." Xie Kui said as he harnessed the car.
Rong looked at her husband with helplessness in her eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, go get some eggs from home, and get some other things, and we'll take them to my father-in-law and his family."
"good."
When they went to Rongjia Village, Xie Kui said, "Wife, I know that when Xiaohe asked me to find someone to plant flowers and cotton, I didn't include my father-in-law and his family. You may be a little resentful of me, but I told you that the fields over there are not suitable for planting these."
"I heard from Xiaohe that she would like to teach people how to grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms in the future. My father-in-law and his people are a perfect fit, so I mentioned it to her when Xiaohe started preparing. Xiaohe also has a workshop and a school ready, so it's no problem for us to recommend a few people to join. I have already discussed all this with Xiaohe." Xie Kui said while driving.
Rong looked at Xie Kui in a daze, feeling a little embarrassed: "My husband, I..."
"You just think too much. That's your family, how can I not think about them? They have to make money, but they can't be asked to do things that are not suitable for them. We will have a plan in half a year at most. Then we can ask the girls from your family to come to Xiaohe's school to learn some skills. When the workshop opens, they will be able to find ways to make money."
"good."

The two of them walked for about an hour and a half while they were talking before they reached Rongjia Village.
Rong's parents were a little surprised to see the two of them coming over: "Why are you back, my daughter? Isn't your family very busy?"
"My mother's husband has some work to do and needs help, so I thought of coming here. The meal is 80 cents a day, but we need to find someone to do the cooking. The cook gets 60 cents a day. If you want to live here, our old house is spacious enough for us to stay in after cleaning it." Rong began to explain the purpose of their visit.
Rong's brother was a little surprised: "What do you do, sister, for such a high salary?"
"Xiao He bought a mud pit and planned to find someone to dig it out and plant some lotus roots or something."
"Then we'll go too."
"OK."
"Xie Kui, how many people do you want?"
"Xiao He said the more the better, but I think twenty people are enough. After all, twenty people can dig out a quagmire of more than ten acres in a few days." Xie Kui said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, I'll go find someone for you."
"Sorry for the trouble, bro."
"Why are you being so polite to me?"
After everyone left, Rong's parents asked, "Is everything going well at home this year?"
"Don't worry, mother. Everything is fine at home. I heard from my husband that Xiaohe is going to build a school where girls can go. He will teach some skills. We can go directly after Xiaohe's workshop opens. My husband has already asked for a few places, so all the children can go." Rong was worried that her family would misunderstand Xie Kui, so she spoke up immediately.
Mr. Rong looked at his daughter in surprise: "Really?"
"Yes, the main reason for planting cotton and flowers this time is that the fields in Rongjia Village are not suitable and we can't let you plant them together. My husband said that Xiaohe will probably need to find someone to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms in the second half of the year. By then, Rongjia Village will be suitable. I will tell Xiaohe."
"He naturally has to choose the most suitable place to help the county lord. The grain seeds you sent us this year and the planting method are really good. This year's harvest will definitely not be small."
When Xie Kui asked for high-yield grain seeds, he also asked for a portion from Rongjia Village. Wang Jinhe gave it to Xie Kui after just a moment of consideration.
