"Grandma, after the autumn harvest in two days, I'll find some helpers for you."
There are always some people doing odd jobs in the town. During the autumn harvest, there is a shortage of people, and the wages will go up, but it doesn't cost much.
Grandma Shen nodded and said: "No need, Grandma invites people herself, just invite people from the village, Grandma still knows a few people from the village.
Lu Lin was right when he thought about it. When it comes to hiring people to work, it is best to hire people from the village first.
In the past, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi hired people from other villages to build houses in the countryside, and they were also hired by people from other villages that Li Zheng said that there were no talents in the village.
The matter between Shen Chi and Chen Xiaolai has been settled, and Grandma Shen doesn't treat Lu Lin as an outsider anymore.
Grandma Shen thought, she doesn't live in the country very much recently, the food in this field is harvested, and the taxes are paid, so she just pulls it here and forgets it.
Grandma Shen has noticed recently that Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin said that they are working for the big boss behind them, but the big boss behind them has never shown up.
Wan Li's deed of sale was also signed to Chen Xiaomi. Which big boss can delegate power so much? Grandma Shen secretly suspects that this shop belongs to Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi. However, she dare not say that if this shop really belongs to Chen Xiaomi, If the old lady of the Chen family knew about it, she would probably jump up.
Grandma Shen thought to herself: If the store really belongs to Chen Xiaomi, it would be a disaster. Before, the villagers only knew that Chen Xiaomi made two taels of silver a month, so they rushed to tell their children to Chen Xiaocai. If it's the boss, then even if Chen Xiaocai and his grandson have settled down, there should be someone who will continue to talk about the old masters and a bunch of little girls in the town who are close to him.
Grandma Shen suppressed this conjecture in her heart, feeling a little sweat for her grandson.
Seeing that the autumn harvest season was coming, Grandma Shen counted the days and couldn't sit still anymore, so she went directly to the countryside to have a look.
There was no one in Lu Lin's hands, so he had to ask Qin Lang to accompany him for a walk. Qin Lang guaranteed the ticket and said that there was no problem.
Qin Ming's injury has recovered, and he is busy working for Lu Lin.
Lu Lin asked Qin Ming to do some layman's work, and sometimes, asked him to help take a look at Chen Xiaomai.
Qin Lang has become more and more old recently, Qin Lang is a mountain man.
Although he is a little younger, he is already quite imposing. Recently, he has been following the caravan to deliver goods to Liu Town.
It's not yet August and a half, but the grain in the field has grown pretty well, but most of the fools think it can grow again, and they haven't started harvesting yet.
Grandma Shen went for a walk around the field and decided to start early to avoid long nights and dreams.
After making up her mind, Grandma Shen found someone directly from the village, promised a salary of thirty Wen a day, and asked for help.
Many villagers are short of land, and there are quite a few families with surplus labor.
"Grandma Shen, the crops in your field can still grow!"
Grandma Shen nodded, and said: "It can be longer, but if it accidentally encounters heavy rain, it will be all yellow."
"Yeah, no matter how long it is, it should grow better. However, if it encounters heavy rain, the loss will be great. It's better to be safe."
Grandma Shen smiled, she also wanted to wait longer, but after two more days, the people in the village would also be busy with the autumn harvest, and it was hard to find people, and it was even harder to borrow this tool.
The people Grandma Shen invited over were honest and honest, and everyone worked very hard.
The few people who invited here felt that Grandma Shen was different from before. The Shen family used to be poor, and the work in the field was done slowly by the old lady and her grandson. How could it be like this, so carelessly invite a few people to come Dry.
This kind of land has small profits, and it has to pay taxes and hire people. In this way, the money that can be earned is less.
Many people in the village know that many of the dolls in this business are made by Grandma Shen. The villagers guess that Grandma Shen has made a lot of money, so they don't care about the cost of hiring people. Some people think that Grandma Shen Even if you tell Chen Xiaolai to Shen Chi, you won't worry about your grandson's future, and you will be honored by your future son-in-law.
"Grandma Shen, where did Shen Chi go?"
After working in the field for a while, Grandma Shen came back to prepare lunch. A few men and women who came to work volunteered to come over to help.
Grandma Shen smiled, and said, "They've gone out to do business."
The women looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Going for business, Shenchi is only so big, so he went out for business."
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "He's just messing around."
It was a long way from Lin Zhen to Liu Town. Grandma Shen once followed the delivery team. She went to see it, and also saw the business store opened by Liu Zhen. Although it was a little smaller, it had everything. Had a great time. Grandma Shen went to see it once, and she was relieved.
"Why are you fooling around? Shen Chi is a big deal now, grandma, you will enjoy the blessings with me in the future."
Grandma Shen smiled, and said, "You're a lot older, and you're still enjoying yourself."
"It's a lot of age that should enjoy happiness!"
"Grandma Shen, you have five acres of land now, and you are in the town, it's not easy to manage!" a woman said.
Grandma Shen nodded, and said, "That's right, so, I'm thinking about letting out some of the land."
Grandma Shen is also a little worried recently. She has been in the town all the time. If there are those evil-minded people who secretly pull out her seedlings, she will not know.
In order for the crops to grow well, we must pay attention to weeding, fertilization and watering at all times, which cannot be taken care of in the town.
It was Lu Lin's idea to rent out the land, and Grandma Shen was also a little bit reluctant, but since there were so few people in the family, there was nothing she could do.
The women were a little excited when they heard Grandma Shen said that they wanted to rent land. The women who came here all lacked land in their families.
Grandma Shen finished harvesting the grain and transported it to the town.
Lu Lin was a little surprised by Grandma Shen's actions, but Grandma Shen didn't want to give the grain money to Grandma Shen, so she only took half of it.
This Grandma Shen really made a lot of money, she hired so many people, she is rich enough.
"How much salary does Grandma Shen earn? I haven't received much from the field, and she needs a lot of money to hire people every day."
"I heard that Grandma Shen plans to rent out all the land."
"The land!"
As soon as Zhang Jin got home, he saw several villagers crowded into his home.
"Father, why are there so many people here!" Zhang Jin asked.
Zhang Cheng glanced at Zhang Jin and said, "Grandma Shen said that she is too old to farm the land and wants to rent out all the land. Please let me be a witness."
Zhang Jin nodded, and said: "So that's the case, how does Grandma Shen plan to rent this land?"
"She wants 40% of the grain, and the tenants are responsible for paying the rent."
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Forty percent is not much." Many big landowners wanted to collect fifty percent of the grain, so after paying the rent, they would not get much.
"Grandma Shen rented out all the land?" Zhang Jin asked.
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, five acres of land, all the tenants have gone out."
Inside the house.
"Grandma Shen is too polite." Lu Lin was a little embarrassed to bring all the food that the old man worked so hard to grow.
"It's also good for Grandma Shen to transport the grain to the town. We are not in the country all the year round. If the grain is stored in the country, it is possible for someone to steal it." Chen Xiaomi is still very optimistic about it, and everyone is now considered a family There is no need to distinguish too clearly.
Lu Lin thinks it is right, the country people may not have many bad intentions, but when they are hungry, they can do anything. If the food is stored in the country and no one is looking at it, it is very dangerous if someone steals it. possible.
"This year seems to be a good year." Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, it's a good thing." Fortunately, there was no catastrophe year. Historically, in catastrophe years, there were many cases of refugees running around and robbing their homes.
The autumn harvest at Grandma Shen's side is still going smoothly, but the Lu family is a little different. In the village, even the female family members have to go to the fields during the autumn harvest season. However, Lin Xiuer and Li Fangyue are both healthy, and they rarely do housework. Of course, it is not easy to go to the ground.
Lu Chengyu is a scholar, and his family did not dare to bother him with farming and other things. The only middle-aged laborers in the family who can go to the fields are Lu Ming and Lu An.
The old man also probably knew what kind of urine his two sons were, so he went to the village to find someone to do help, and promised 25 yuan per person.
Twenty-five Wen is polite enough on weekdays. However, many families are short of people during the autumn harvest. However, for a few days during the autumn harvest, it is not too low but not too high.
Although people were invited, everyone discussed in private that Grandma Shen paid 30 yuan to find someone to harvest the crops, compared to Mr. Lu who only paid 25 yuan, which was a bit stingy.
Lu An lost his job, so that Wang's private house money became less and less, and he became more and more concerned about such a small amount of money.
As soon as the autumn harvest began, Mrs. Wang yelled at the helpers she had hired, repeatedly disliking them for their slow work, clamoring for deductions of money, and not letting people leave at sunset, asking them to stay for more than one thousand. meeting.
Mrs. Wang is a vicious person. When Lu Lin's parents were around, Mrs. Wang would often curse at them.
If Lu Lin's parents objected, Wang would scold even more madly. Over time, Lu Lin's parents let Wang scold them for a while. Lu Ming and Lu An often quarreled. It’s not good to add fuel to the fire. Now that the autumn harvest has hired people, Wang’s anger accumulated during this period of time has been vented on the helpers hired by the family. He either despises the work and is lazy, or scolds the disaster. The food is lost. to the field.
Wang was used to scolding her son, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, the villagers worked with money, so they could only endure being scolded by Mrs. Wang, but in private, rumors of Mrs. Wang's vitriol spread.
Some people compared Wang's with Grandma Shen, and the result of the comparison was that Wang's was too far behind.
