Chapter 483: Fertilizer water does not flow to outsiders' fields
People as far away as Panshi Town don’t know what’s happening in the county.
Zhang Gugua came back that day, and when Li Donggua drove the newly purchased mule cart back to pick up Old Deng in the afternoon, Old Deng told him about this matter.
Zhang Guquan thought that she had money to support her second son. If she didn't have a good idea, she would definitely come back to make trouble. She was also afraid of causing trouble to her second son.
The second son had been away from home for many years, and finally came back from the Cheng family. He opened his own shop and bought a house in the town. He could live his own life peacefully. The family was together, and she didn't want anyone to disturb her.
.
After Li Donggua heard this, he knew that Zhang Guanggu already knew that his wife had received a reward for rescuing the young master of the Cheng family, yet she still came back and said this.
What is it that my mother kept privately and supplemented for him?
In short, he is just greedy for the money, and he will make trouble when he comes back. He is not stupid, and he will give it to him if he wants it? How can it be such a good thing?
Don't say that he has already divided his family and households, just say that he has not. How much have the two of them paid to that family over the years? They have almost dried up their sweat. If they want to divide this remuneration as if they are among the public, there is no way.
If his wife had not been so lucky to save the young master of the Cheng family, the couple would still be working in the Cheng family for another ten years until they are old!
Li Donggua secretly worried, waiting for Zhang Gugua to come back one day, but after two or three days, no one came. He was a little strange. This didn't seem like his character. Could it be that he was tripped up by something?
Stopped?
Seeing that no one came, Li Donggua didn't have time to pay more attention. He was busy now. The wood carving shop he co-operated with Manager Qu was doing surprisingly well. Many people who liked collecting wood carvings wanted to come and have a look.
I can't see any new products.
He has nothing to do every day. Apart from eating and sleeping, he spends the rest of his time making wood carvings.
The business of their own ready-made clothing shop is also good. With Grandma Cheng as a signboard, many ladies and grandmothers in the town are willing to go to the shop to make custom-made clothes. They have hired two more embroiderers to keep busy.
He wondered if he should also recruit two apprentices, otherwise he would be too busy.
But for apprentices, he is not afraid of teaching his disciples to starve the master to death, but for a while, he cannot choose an honest and down-to-earth person.
If you pick someone with bad intentions, wouldn't you be causing trouble for yourself?
You know people, you know faces, but you don’t know hearts!
Since the tailor shop became busy and hired embroiderers, they used the yard behind the shop to make clothes.
In this house, he wants to do wood carving, and it is not convenient for the embroiderers to come over.
Mr. Deng stayed at home and was responsible for buying groceries and cooking, and could also keep an eye on his son nearby.
Seeing that the wood carving shop was in such a hurry that her son was too busy to drink water, and hearing about her son's thoughts, she waved her hand and said, "Hey! Isn't this easy?"
"This requires someone who is honest and knows the basics. If the wealth does not go to outsiders, I will recruit your brother-in-law and nephew!"
When Li Donggua heard this, he immediately patted his head and said, "What a pig! I didn't expect it for a moment! Thank you for reminding me! Okay! I'll go look for Kuizi later."
He is not a pig. The last time he saw Kuizi, he didn't even think of this.
The Wang family has a simple population and little land. The royal father and queen mother are old, but they can still do similar work.
There was little land, so Wang Kuizi spent most of the year looking for part-time jobs in the town to earn some money for the family.
As for Zhang Shuiqin's son Wang Ladong, he is also fifteen this year. He is a young man, and he is hard-working, so he will definitely be able to do a good job.
When Li Donggua was mentioned in this way, she couldn't sit still and hurriedly went outside to avoid finding anyone when it was too late and Wang Kuizi went to work again after dinner.
There is a low wall at the junction of Ankangfang and Jingyangfang. Inside the wall is a century-old tree with many branches. It protects the low wall like a big umbrella, providing shade from the sun and rain.
Generally, people who come to town to find part-time jobs will stay here.
When there is no work, just wait here. If someone is looking for someone to work, they will come directly here to shout.
Even after working all morning, I would come here to eat the dry food I brought home and take a rest.
When Li Donggua came over, it was around meal time, and many people who had worked all morning returned to eat and rest under the low wall.
There are quite a lot of people, the whole town's day laborers are here.
Li Donggua came back last time and knew where Wang Kuizi usually squatted, so he went straight to the inside of the wall. Sure enough, he saw Wang Kuizi squatting at the far end, "Kuizi!"
Wang Kuizi was holding a pancake and eating it when he was suddenly shouted out. He almost choked and blushed. He looked for water but couldn't.
"Choke?" His voice was not loud, but it also scared people. Li Donggua hurriedly pulled people to the noodle stall opposite, "Let's go! Let's go find some water to drink first! Let's go eat a bowl of wontons. I happen to have something to catch up with.
What did you say!"
There is a wonton stall at the alley opposite the low wall, and a bowl costs five cents. The day laborers can hardly afford to eat, after all, they only earn twenty cents a day.
The pancakes were cold and he was in a panic. Wang Kuizi took a big gulp of water and drank it. Then he felt better. He opened his mouth and said, "Why are you eating wontons? Don't waste that money. These two pancakes are enough for me."
Li Donggua had already ordered wontons and pulled him to find a table to sit down. "Last time, I didn't ask you to take a message back, so Shuiqin could go to the town to go to the market when she had free time, and then she brought her nephew to my place to play. These days
I don’t see her coming either. Are you busy with work at home?”
The wontons came out quickly, and they were served as soon as they sat down to say a word. Wang Kuizi saw that they were all cooked, so he did not refuse, "Aren't you busy sowing corn recently? You also have to plant peppers. She said that Song Qiu's girl harvested red
As for the chili pepper, I plan to clear out the wasteland behind the house and grow two rows of chili peppers, which will also be an income. She will come when she is finished."
Shuiqin is a hard-working woman. She is not idle all day, and the inside and outside of the house are neatly organized. Only then can he go to town to find work every day without any worries.
The son is about to get married, and the daughter is about the same, and she needs money.
Li Donggua nodded after hearing this. He knew that the girl could not stay idle, but it was a pity that the girl was not good at sewing, otherwise she would have been asked to make clothes. At least it would be an income.
But now it’s the same as asking my brother-in-law and nephew to learn wood carving. They both reduce the burden on my sister’s family.
He then said: "Kuizi, I didn't tell you before. I occupy the profit-sharing wood carving shop and I have to supply the goods. The business is very busy now. I can't handle it by myself, so I want to recruit two apprentices.
Teaching him how to do it is also doing my job."
"Well, don't let the wealth go to outsiders. I just wanted to call you and Ladong. What do you think?"
When Wang Kuizi heard this, his face turned red and he was a little excited, "How about this? Why don't you let Ladong come and be your apprentice?"
These days, craftsmanship is passed down from family to family. If you want to learn other people's craftsmanship, you have to recognize someone as a master. Moreover, they all recruit young boys. How can he be an apprentice at his age? His hands and feet are not as flexible as the boy's. I'm afraid he will be given to his brother-in-law.
Adding to the chaos.
Li Donggua knew what he was thinking, and just said: "When I say I'm recruiting apprentices, I'm just asking two people to do the work to help. If you want to come, you're really not smart, you can help with sawing a piece of wood or something! The left and right are doing the work,
I’ll also give you wages, which is better than doing part-time labor!”
