Chapter 144 Remuneration for helping to dig the ground
Chapter 144 Reward for helping to dig the ground
Other big-headed soldiers who got money said privately that the military households in Suijin Town were capable and could help them make money, which was better than the poor military households in other places. They had made money by coming here.
There were only two military households in Suijin Town. Xue Zhuang was originally from the guard station. In their eyes, he was still one of their own and had nothing to say.
Among the military households, the Song family was the most talked about and the most popular.
For no other reason than that half of the people in the guardhouse had tasted the delicious smelly meat.
Now it is the Song family who grows vegetables for everyone to benefit from.
In the eyes of the sergeants, the Song family, the military household, was the closest to the guards.
The Song family's land was close to the guard post, and soon the sergeants who had stayed in the barracks to rest came over under the leadership of General Xiao.
Looking at the burned wasteland, Xiao Zongqi said to the dozen or so soldiers following him: "Don't be lazy, you can find work for yourself."
The sergeants at the guard station were basically farmers before they joined the army. They all grew up doing farm work. They have not lost their farming skills even after serving in the army for several years. They are naturally able to take care of wasteland.
At this time, there is no need for help from the townspeople.
All the sergeants surrounded the ground, those who moved stones moved stones, and those who cleaned ditches cleared ditches.
As soon as the fire burning the wasteland was out, the two mules pulling the cart were brought over, and they were hooked up to the plow and raked.
When Song Liyun took Xiao An to the fields to deliver water and cooking cakes, they saw that the land had been plowed.
The soil is basically well organized and only needs to be fertilized before sowing.
Mr. Xiao looked at Song Liyun coming over, and before she could say thank you, he smiled and said: "Miss Song, our brothers are helping to prepare the land today, why don't you prepare something delicious to reward us!"
That day when Wei was talking about selling vegetables, there were Luo Baihu, Wang Junqi, and two general bannermen in the official room.
Xiao Zongqi is one of them.
Others only knew that the Song family's vegetables were sold for a few taels of silver and distributed to everyone, but he knew the real reason.
It was Song Liyun who sold the leather goods, and the Wei Suo turned waste into treasure, and obtained more than 500 taels of silver out of thin air.
As soon as I got the five hundred taels of silver, I suddenly felt rich and wealthy, even though I could not afford the wages of dozens of civilians at the time.
Wang Zhong, who is in charge of logistics and military supplies, no longer complains about the salary of sergeants. He has been walking with wind in his hands these days.
Luo Baihu, who has been promoted to the sixth rank of military rank, now has a prosperous official career and constant financial resources.
All day long, like a boy who is good at making money, he goes to other guards to show off.
This made several officials from hundreds of households jealous of him, and they had to hold back their anger to please him, asking him to sell the old leather goods in their warehouses.
Every big-headed soldier has a lot of money, and General Xiao Qi naturally has more. Now that he saw Song Liyun, he was really happy.
This is a grandma who is the God of Wealth, and she cannot offer her too much.
Song Liyun was also startled by the crowd of people on the ground in front of him.
She only thought that Song Zhenping and Han Ming were in the field, and she wanted to come and have a chat with Song Zhenping.
Just now at Baolinju, Yun Niang, who knew the details, asked: "If it can't be cured, Daping will be so disappointed."
With these words, she instantly understood Song Zhenping's worries.
It’s not that Song Zhenping doesn’t want to be treated, it’s because she is worried about her prognosis.
A person who has accepted reality will not be happy at the sudden appearance of hope, but will be skeptical.
They can't believe their lives are going to change.
Now the ground was full of people and there was no chance to chat, but she was still happy.
With the weather approaching in spring, with the help of these sergeants, we can clear the ground earlier.
After convincing Song Zhenping, he might as well go to Fucheng with him earlier.
Hearing General Xiao Qi ask for compensation, Song Liyun thought for a moment: "Thank you very much, General Xiao Qi, for reminding me. The Song family wants to thank these brothers for their help.
But I can’t make anything delicious right now. I have three ready-made fishes at home. I’ll cook them in a while and send them to the camp, okay?”
When the ice in the river melted, Han Ming had to fish for acorns every day, so she simply used empty baskets to make a ground cage, put bait in the baskets, and then sank into the water to wait for the fish to fall into the trap.
Almost every basket has yielded a harvest, and the family is already eating fish soup every day.
The warmer the temperature, the more active the fish will be after starving under the ice all winter.
She had just seen the basket that Han Ming took back in the morning. There were three big fish weighing four to five kilograms in it, which was enough for a meal.
What Mr. Xiao said at this time was actually a joke. He came suddenly with a group of people. The Song family might not even have enough tea.
When I heard that Song Liyun wanted to cook fish, there was no way he could refuse. He was overjoyed and said cheerfully: "Okay, you need to add more spicy food when eating fish. I like strong food."
Xiao An feels that he has not been to the ground for a long, long time. He has grown up on the ground every day and loves the land deeply.
When I got to the field, I didn't care about the new shoes on my feet, I just followed the plow.
When I saw the upturned grass roots, I quickly picked them up and threw them into the basket. I was so diligent.
Next to him, Song Zhenping saw Song Liyun coming to deliver water, and he didn't know what to say.
He could only say humbly when he took the teapot: "Yun'er, can I go to Fucheng again later?"
Song Liyun had now guessed where Song Zhenping's timidity came from, so naturally she didn't push him and said warmly: "Well, don't worry, let's go when brother is free."
Seeing that her second sister no longer forced herself, Song Zhenping felt relieved. In order to resolve the embarrassment, she pointed at the ten acres of tunnel and said: "I plan to plant corn here and rapeseed over there. Yun'er, if you like to eat white rice, just
Plant more rice."
Song Liyun didn't know much about farming, so he just smiled and nodded: "Luo Baihu praises you as a master of farming. You have the final say."
Hearing the second sister's praise of herself, Song Zhenping immediately became happy and took some tea to invite the surrounding sergeants to drink.
On this side, Song Liyun has already made an agreement with Mr. Xiao Qi and Zhou Xiaoqi to send people to Baolinju to collect fish at noon.
Zhou Xiaoqi responded repeatedly that he was familiar with this matter, and also said that he would bring food from the guardhouse later.
Since he had to deal with the fish, Song Liyun needed to go back quickly and catch Xiao An who was busy in the fields.
In the past, in Xiaoshi Village, Song Laoer's land was all done by Song Zhenping alone, and Xiao An had to follow him. He was timid and timid.
But since moving into Baolin Residence, Xiao An has never been beaten or scolded again.
The ones I hear the most are compliments, and I am not as shy as before. I just smile shyly when teased.
Coupled with his handsome and special appearance, almost no one bullied him.
In just a moment, he was being carried on the shoulders of several young sergeants and chased all over the place, playing some games that only men like.
By the time Song Liyun rescued him from those people, he was so mad that he was sweating and didn't want to leave.
Song Liyun was afraid that Xiao An would catch cold due to wet clothes, so she had to coax him to go home on the pretext that he would help her cook fish.
Xiao An's greatest pleasure now is learning to cook from Song Liyun.
Only when Song Liyun entered the kitchen did he have the opportunity to touch the kitchen knife and spoon.
