Although Landlord Bai was very picky, he was willing to give up money when the farm was busy, so he could often give eighteen or twenty cents as wages.
Before Lao Zhou's family grew ginger or went to the county town to sell vegetables, Landlord Bai was a very important source of income for Lao Zhou's family.
I can earn at least one thousand yuan every year by doing part-time work for the landowner, which is the minimum.
Basically, this is where their mother's medicine money comes from.
Therefore, Manbao subconsciously feels that long-term workers are more profitable than short-term workers because they often have work to do.
The three long-term workers looked at Man Bao sadly and said, "Miss Man is joking."
The wages of long-term workers are not calculated on a daily basis, but on a monthly basis.
Their monthly salary is 300 cash, including food and accommodation.
For example, when the farming period is busy, the food they eat is prepared uniformly in the village. After the busy farming period, the Bai family will give them some coarse grains, and they can cook as much as they want.
Therefore, those who eat less can save some food for themselves, and those who eat more can use their own wages to buy it.
Man Bao counted the numbers and said, "Three hundred coins is a lot. How come you can't get a wife?"
The long-term workers were even more sad. They all lowered their heads and ate their steamed buns, not wanting to talk to Man Bao.
Man Bao really wants to know them. Dad taught Man Bao last night that if you want people to do good work, you have to feed them well, and asked her not to treat the long-term workers who work for them harshly.
And when they were about to go out this morning, Grandma Liu specially stopped the three of them and told them to be serious when they got to the fields, and finally win people's hearts, and not rely on Bai Zhuangtou for everything.
Man Bao felt that she did not need to win over the hearts of her brothers and the young men in the village. Bai Zhuangtou seemed to listen to them and was very kind to them, especially Shan Bao.
If Shanbao talks about the east, Bai Zhuangtou will definitely not talk about the west.
So she looked around and squatted in front of the three long-term workers.
She felt she needed to talk to them about life.
Three people who want to talk about their lives:...
The three long-term workers were helpless, so there was nothing they couldn't say. Anyway, it was the lunch break, so they had nothing to do.
Mainly because they expressed doubts about Man Bao's age. Can she understand what they said?
Yes, the three of them didn't feel that it was hard to talk about their poverty. It was a well-known fact that long-term workers were poor. They just felt that speaking to Man Bao would be like lighting a candle to a blind man, which was meaningless.
"I still have fifty cash left from last month's monthly salary. I also have a red envelope for the month before the Chinese New Year, which should be about three hundred and fifty cash. I plan to go to the market to buy some meat, and then buy some rice and noodles with the master.
, and after a good year, all the money will be spent.”
"I caught a cold last month. I spent 80 yuan just to take medicine. I was delayed for more than ten days without going to work. My salary was only half. I still want to save money to buy better clothes."
"All my money was spent on wine and snacks."
The three of them looked at Man Bao together, "So Miss Man, you see, we don't have a penny, how can we get a wife?"
Man Bao was shocked, "You spend so much money. My eldest brother spends less than a hundred coins all year round. This is because he has to pay city fees to go to the county town. Occasionally he has to buy a few steamed buns to eat in the county town, or give
We spend a lot of money just buying candies and snacks..."
So in her opinion, three hundred yuan a month is really a lot.
Can you save at least two coins a year?
You can marry a wife with about five ounces of money, so three years of hard work is enough.
She didn't understand why they couldn't get a wife.
Man Bao counted them, "My second brother and fourth brother are the biggest spenders in the family, but they don't spend much. Like my second brother, when he is busy, he has to go to the county town every day to sell things. My mother every time
They would all give him 20 cents. But apart from the entrance fee and stall fee, and occasionally spending one or two cents to buy hot soup, he saved the rest of the money and gave it back to my second sister-in-law..."
Of course Zhou Lang did this kind of thing secretly, but the couple would not hide from their youngest daughter Sanya when they were hiding money.
If Sanya knows, Erya will also know. If Erya knows, Manbao will also know.
"There is also my fourth brother. In the past, whenever he had money, he would buy food for himself or us. But now that I have my fourth sister-in-law, he is very picky. When he has money, he has to save it for me first.
My fourth sister-in-law buys brown sugar and fabrics for my future nephew... So when I go to the city, I only spend ten cents each time. How can you spend so much money?"
The three long-term workers were heartbroken, and one of them said angrily: "If we have a wife, we can also save money."
The other two thought so.
"Then you have to save money to get a wife. And it's not enough for you to just have money. You have to clean yourself up and be more energetic." Man Bao, who has many brothers since he was a child, knew that he wanted to marry a wife.
, your family must not only have land, a house, and money, but you must also be clean and capable.
Seeing the disapproval of the three of them, Man Bao perked up and turned on his chatterbox attribute. He glanced at their dirty hands and did not shake them. Instead, he squatted in front of them and said sincerely: "Our old Zhou family,
Do you know?"
The three of them nodded, can this be guaranteed?
They have been working as long-term workers in Mr. Bai's house for three or four years, and are very familiar with the villagers of Qili Village. The old Zhou family is quite famous in Qili Village.
"Does our old Zhou family have land?"
The three nodded.
"Do you have a room?"
The three of them nodded again.
"Does it have a good reputation?"
The three of them glanced at Man Bao and nodded slowly.
"But you don't know that my parents have told my fourth brother and the others since they were young that they must work diligently and be clean so that they can marry a wife when they grow up." Man Bao said, "My parents used to be very worried.
, I’m afraid that my fourth brother won’t be able to marry a wife. My family’s conditions are so good and you have no land or house. If you don’t clean yourself up and be more diligent, how can other girls like you?”
The long-term worker said: "Miss Man, we don't expect any girl to fall in love with us, as long as a widow can fall in love with us."
Chang Gong Er said: "Yes, and Miss Man, the reason your parents are afraid that your fourth brother will not be able to marry is not because your fourth brother is unclean, but because your fourth brother has a bad reputation, right?"
Changgong San said: "That's right, although we didn't save any money, we didn't gamble either."
Man Bao looked at the faces of the three of them one by one, shook his head and said: "If you think so, then you are screwed. I'm afraid you will never be able to marry a wife in your life, even if you are a widow."
"Why?"
"Because you are ugly, look at how handsome my fourth brother is!"
The three long-term workers turned their heads to look at Zhou Lang who was talking happily to someone on the stone not far away, and all looked away.
Man Bao continued: "Although my fourth brother has made mistakes, he is handsome and doesn't care much about cleanliness. But at least his clothes are clean and neat, and his head and face are clean. Otherwise, how could my fourth sister-in-law fall in love with him? You yourselves
Look at yourself. Oh, you can’t see yourself, then look at each other, you three all look similar now.”
The three of them looked at each other, then turned away in disgust.
