When we got paid for the first time last year, everyone felt the same way.

They couldn't believe that they were actually getting paid, and they all felt that wasn't it the right thing for a family to help each other with the work?

Besides, this level of tiredness is nothing. What kind of strenuous work have you never done for a country boy?

Going hunting in the mountains or doing farm work in the fields is much more tiring than making loquat paste at home.

Now unknowingly it is the second time.

time flies.

Xu Laosi also said, "Take it, Third Brother, you don't know the market situation of our family. In our family, my sister has the final say. If I give it to you, then I really give it. There are not so many ways.

Third brother, in the future we can all enjoy the hot and spicy food with my old sister, mother, you think so!"

Mrs. Xu Zhang gave him a big roll of her eyes, "Look at how hopeless you are."

Then, he said to Xu Laosan, "They are right. If your sister asks you to take it, just take it. Don't be like the fourth son, who will talk nonsense all day long."

Everyone laughed.

Xu Laosan looked around. Everyone seemed to be content with getting paid. It seemed too abrupt for him not to get paid alone.

"Thank you so much, sister."

"Yeah, okay, just take it when my sister gives it to you. You are diligent and do no less work than others. You are very good at peeling fruits and picking them up and looking at the scale. No one else will be missing yours. In the future,

You have all your money saved, you have extra money in your hands, and you don’t feel panic, what can’t you do?”

After Mrs. Xu Zhang told Xu Laosan, Xu Laosi’s family had been eagerly looking forward to it.

Xu Laosi, the three babies...and Luo Shi.

Luo Shi's mouth was full as he chewed a bunch of vegetables, all looking at Xu Zhang.

Xu Zhang glanced at the brochure and said, "Fourth brother, you and Luo Shi will work as full workers. You will be counted as full workers for fifty days, and the two big ones will be counted as half workers. The total is six taels of silver..."

Luo Shi's eyes were bright and he had a mouthful of food in his mouth. He couldn't speak clearly. He just whimpered and said, "Okay, okay...thank you, sister...thank you, mother."

Xu Laosi was also pleased, "Thank you, mother, thank you, sister."

A total of six taels of silver will be handed over to him.

Including the fuel and water for transporting goods, there is enough fuel and water for delivery this year, and we have made more than ten taels, which totals more than 20 taels.

When buying land, you can buy more than two acres.

If the situation were like this every year, it would really be a wonderful life.

Finally, Mrs. Xu Zhang glanced at Yuan Chunhua and said, "Yuan Chunhua has been working for more than thirty days. Her wages are all counted by you sisters, but I have to withhold them. They will all be used to redeem her this time."

, I don’t want any of her wages within this year, Yuan Chunhua, do you have any objections?"

Yuan Chunhua lowered her head, "I have no objection. As long as my parents don't kick me out and give me a bite to eat, I'll be satisfied."

The old Yuan family has been separated, and she has nothing to miss now.

The mountain weighing on her head like a nightmare completely collapsed.

On the one hand, she was relaxed, but on the other hand, she felt empty. Fortunately, she still had her children.

Wherever the children are, she will be there.

Of course, the people in the second house didn't have any objections. They wanted the old Xu family to take in Yuan Chunhua, so they didn't have to think too much about wages or anything like that.

Finally, it was the old rule. Xu Jiaojiao paid filial piety to Xu Youde and Xu Zhang with five taels of silver each.

After talking about the division of labor and money, everyone was in high spirits.

All kinds of thanks to my aunt and sister.

Luo Shi kept picking up vegetables for Xu Jiaojiao, "Old girl, eat, eat more meat."

A lot of joy.

Mrs. Xu Zhang also talked about her plan for next year’s loquat ointment.

"No objection, right? This year's loquat season has not rained for more than a month. It was just at the beginning that there was a problem with spring flowers. Fortunately, the matter was resolved smoothly. This year is considered a good harvest year. Next year's loquat paste

If you just make it at home, you won’t get so much wages, and it will all go to the government, you hear me?”

Who dares to have an opinion?

Can anyone have an opinion?

Let's talk about it first.

Then, Xu Youde put down his chopsticks and he had already finished eating.

He coughed twice, took out his old cigarette, smoked it, and knocked the old cigarette on the table twice, "I have something to say!"

Everyone stopped to look at him.

Xu Youde said, "I have discussed it with your mother. Our family is now full of people. The fifth child is about to get married and move into a new house. Jiaojiao is also getting married. Erlang is also older.

It's time to talk about the marriage. The third child is also back. Our old house is still a little crowded. Your mother and I are planning to build a new house..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately said yes.

"Mom, Dad, this is a good thing, but how much money does it cost to build a house?"

"Our family has a prosperous population and is powerful. We can no longer live in this old house. The older man is getting older. In the future, if he becomes a scholar and marries a wife, he will come back to live in the old house and respect his grandparents. He will not be embarrassed to talk to our elders.

Live together..."

"And we, Sanlang, Silang, Wulang and Liulang, will grow up sooner or later and have to live in separate houses. Now is the time to build another big house. My parents are wise."

"Getting married is a top priority for me. The new house must be built beautifully."

Everyone was talking.

Generally speaking, when a family builds a new house in the countryside, it is a big deal.

Thrilling and exciting things.

Xu Zhang said, "This is the plan to build the house. My father-in-law used part of the money to contribute. However, we don't have any money at home, and all our previous savings have been spent. Now it's just the salary money that the old girl gave me and your father. We

The total amount of the pension fund is about 20 taels. You should also add some to each house. I don’t want you to contribute more. I will give you 5 taels of silver for each house. The third brother does not need to contribute, and the fifth brother is working as an apprentice outside.

, If you don’t have any income, you don’t need to spend it. Jiaojiao will take some appropriately, and everyone will join in to build the house. It doesn’t need to be big, it just needs to be similar to our old house..."

By doing this calculation, we can get about forty or fifty taels.

In the countryside, if you build a big house for 40 to 50 taels, you can build a very good one. Houses in the countryside are usually adobe houses with thatched roofs, and they don't cost much money. The house of Lao Xu's family is better, not purely adobe.

, with some mountain stone tiles sandwiched between them, and the roof is covered with wooden rafters, which is strong and solid. This kind of house can be regarded as the best in the countryside.

Except for the houses of landlords, which are not as good as those of wealthy households, all the houses are built like this.

Rocks need to be quarried and transported, beams and wooden rafters cost some money, and adobe bricks and mud require labor, which are all worthless.
