Gao smiled bitterly, "How can we have that kind of money?"
Man Bao took advantage of the situation and said, "Just make money. I came here this time just to mention it to Brother Chen and the others."
"Brother Zhou Zhou is very grateful to Brother Chen and the others for saving him," Bai Shan intercepted Man Bao's words and said, "He has been thinking about how to repay you for the past two days. Knowing that it is the slack time for farming, you have just divided the land.
After moving, I’m afraid it’s time to lose everything, and what I need most is a job.”
Mrs. Gao and her two sisters-in-law couldn't help but their eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly.
Bai Shan smiled and said: "It just so happens that Brother Zhou is transporting grain to the county government, so I plan to hire you all to transport the wheat bought by the county government. I can earn two to three hundred cash in one trip."
The eyes of the three Gao family members became brighter and brighter, with some excitement on their faces.
They were a little worried, "Can they do such an important job?"
Man Bao glanced at Bai Shan and reassured: "It's just driving the car and moving things, it's not complicated."
She paused and then said: "As for the robbery, don't worry. Magistrate Tang is already investigating. Those wheat seeds are transported to the county government. Even if we are willing to let them go, Magistrate Tang will take them away."
Everyone has found out, so you don’t have to worry about something like this happening again on the road.”
Of course, the three of them, Gao, couldn't make the final decision on such a major matter, and had to wait for Chen Erlang and his companions to come back.
But when their hearts are moved, they will naturally turn to Manbao and the others and speak for them.
Mrs. Gao felt that it was not good to sit here at the door, so she invited Manbao and the others to come inside and sit and talk. Then she stayed to entertain them, while the two sisters-in-law ran out to find people in person to tell them the good news.
There were many people collecting firewood with Chen Erlang and others, so they went so far to collect firewood, and happened to meet Zhou Lang.
Today the three brothers also wanted to take care of the wheat in the field and cover it with some straw to keep it warm.
These straws were found by themselves. In fact, they were stolen. They would chop up a handful of straw from this family and steal a handful from that family. The accumulated amount would make a lot.
After all, they had no land before, let alone growing rice.
After laying out the straw, I went to find some branches nearby and cut them down, then removed the branches and leaves and took them home to dry.
The weather is about to get cold, and when winter comes, the price of firewood will increase slightly, and then these can be sold for money.
After they escaped last year, they earned some food and pocket money by collecting firewood, helping others, and doing farm work for the elders.
I just know that they are refugees and their wages are always very low.
In Yizhou City, the price of coolies is generally between forty-five and fifty-five cents, but every time they are selected, the stewards and shopkeepers are only willing to pay thirty cents at most.
Some people directly lower the price to around fifteen or twenty cents.
It was just enough for their family to eat and drink for a day, and there was basically nothing left.
After all the calculations, Chen Erlang and the others still like winter the most, at least the income from collecting firewood is higher.
But I hate winter the most. It's too cold. I don't have thick clothes and the quilts are hard. I get cold when I don't move during the day. I get hungry quickly when I move. I lie in bed at night and there's no warmth at all.
However, Chen Erlang and the others feel that life is not bad now. At least they have a new house and land. If they wait for another half a year and wait for the new wheat to fall, life will be better.
While thinking this, the children of the family came running. Knowing that someone from the Zhou family was coming, the three brothers immediately carried firewood and went home. Halfway through, they met the two daughters-in-law who had come out to look for someone.
When the two said this, Chen Erlang and the other three looked at each other and said, "Do you really want us to transport food?"
"It must be," Chen Sanlang's daughter-in-law was extremely excited and said, "Although the two people talking seem to be young, didn't you say that the little doctor is very powerful? Then her words should be true, right?"
Chen Erlang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back and take a look."
"Second uncle," Chen Sanlang's daughter-in-law asked quickly: "Do you agree or not?"
"Of course I agreed. Why not agree if the job is such a good one?"
Chen Sanlang's wife breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you think it's not good for us to ask for favors?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. As long as you can survive, it's better if you can live a good life." Chen Sanlang said.
Chen Erlang also nodded, so if the Zhou family gave them something, they would definitely accept it all without refusing.
Naturally, Chen Erlang and the others would not refuse the job opportunity they gave them, but they were really grateful.
Especially when Chen Erlang saw that among the gifts that Man Bao brought were the herbs Gao took, his knees softened and he knelt down in front of Man Bao.
Man Bao immediately reached out to help him, without holding him back, and could only look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan stepped forward to help, and together with Man Bao, he helped the person up, and said with a smile: "Second Sister Chen's illness can be cured by taking more than ten days of medicine. Man Bao has been thinking in his heart, Brother Chen doesn't have to be like this.
"
Chen Erlang said: "I know that Dr. Zhou is a kind-hearted person. My mother-in-law came back and said that there are so many doctors in the medical shed, but you are the only one who is willing to keep checking and injecting people."
Not to mention that the free clinic was over and she gave Gao acupuncture for free.
Chen Erlang said excitedly: "Doctor Zhou, don't worry, we three brothers will definitely guard the food."
Man Bao smiled and said: "I'm relieved. By the way, the person who was with you that day was..."
"Oh, we are all brothers. We used to live in Shangxia Village. We are all close. We ran away together when we were fleeing, and we came back together when we came back. It happened that Mr. Tang divided the villages and put us together, so we often collected firewood together.
.”
Man Bao then smiled and said: "What my fourth brother means is to ask you to call all these people. We don't have many, so we can only find a job for you. If you become famous in the future, maybe
It’s easier to find a job in the city.”
Zhou Lang immediately bent down and thanked him, "Thank you, Dr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou, for thinking about us."
"Don't be like this. We have to thank you for saving my fourth brother. By the way, we brought some rice and noodles. It's a little bit of my fourth brother's kindness. You can give it to each family. It's getting late. We
I won’t see them anymore.”
Chen Erlang didn't expect them to leave so soon, and wanted to keep them for a meal, but after looking around, he found that the family couldn't buy any good food, so he had to send them out.
Manbao then said to Mr. Gao: "There should be a place in the city that sells goat's milk. I can help you find out later. Even if you can't buy a whole goat, you can buy a bamboo tube of goat's milk every day."
Mrs. Gao didn't expect that she would still remember this and thanked her repeatedly.
Chen Erlang didn't understand what they said, but he didn't ask. He waited until the people got in the car and walked away before asking about it.
As for the two people who got into the car, you glanced at me, I glanced at you, and they both laughed.
Man Bao smiled and said, "You are good at showing kindness."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Don't you catch it well too?"
