Chapter 36: The Autumn Harvest Begins

The day of harvesting crops was coming soon, and Lin Zhu was ready. Because her land was next to the village chief's land, the two families started working together. The three day laborers the village chief helped her find were father and son. Her father Wang

Shudun and his second son, Wang Lin, and his younger son, Wang Sen. Their family fled from famine in the past. There are seven people in the family, three generations, and they have three sons. Because the family is poor, only the eldest Wang Mu is married, and there are only five acres of land for so many people.

, it’s not enough for the family, and they all rely on part-time labor to make ends meet. This time, the village chief said that they needed to find five people, two of whom were born and raised in Linjia Village. They all felt that the jobs the village chief helped find should be good, and

There was no need to go out and they could still go home at night. They only had Wang Mu's mother and Wang Mu on their property. It happened that Lin Zhu also needed three people, so he came over.

Through the village chief, I found out that the owner of the job was a child, and the wages were high. The only requirement was that he should work diligently. If he did well, he would be called upon to do any work in the future, which gave his family a stable job.

The income they received happily.

Lin Zhu met Wang Shudun and his son and was very satisfied with them. They all seemed to be good at work. However, the youngest son, Wang Sen, was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which made her feel a bit like child labor. But then she thought about it.

Children usually start working in the fields when they are eleven or twelve years old. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old children are already the main work force in the family, so they don’t pay much attention to them. The village chief introduced the three of them to her and explained their mutual understanding.

The situation was also discussed in front of Wang Shudun and his son, because his younger son was only sixteen years old and could be paid less in wages.

Lin Zhu looked at the three of them and said to the village chief Lin Changqing, let's work for a day and see if the three of them do well, then the wages will be thirty cents each. When Wang Shudun and his son heard what she said, their faces changed.

They all looked grateful and promised her that they would do a good job for her.

After the village chief explained the specific location of the field to them, the three of them started working. Lin Zhu watched it for a while and felt that they were doing a pretty good job. They were on par with the two day laborers from the village chief's family. She also

I feel relieved.

Regarding the village chief's house, Lin Zhu only knew that his house had twice as much land as his own, but he also had a large family. Except for his second son who was studying and could not come over, the village chief, Aunt Li, and Lin Hongwen and his wife all came.

Youqing and Lin Ruyu are responsible for cooking at home.

Lin Zhu couldn't help much in the field, so she explained to Wang Shudun and the others before preparing to go back. Her reassuring behavior made Wang Shudun and his son feel very at ease. There are few bosses who trust her so much.

People who work are the kind of people who want to keep a close eye on them for fear of being lazy. Lin Zhu's approach actually made them work harder.

In fact, Lin Zhu felt that watching them work here was like being a foreman. This feeling made her very uncomfortable. It would be better to go home and look through wolfberry berries and cook their lunch. Besides, they looked like

He was not the kind of person who would cheat and cheat, and he was introduced by the village chief. It was definitely true. It would be better to let him go. By the way, he said hello to Aunt Li and the others and went home.

Lin Changqing watched Lin Zhu walk away and felt very comfortable in his heart. Although he was confident that the part-time workers he found for Lin Zhu were all good and there was no need to worry about the work, but if Lin Zhu kept staring here, he didn't seem to believe him.

The same would make him feel uncomfortable. When Lin Zhu left, village chief Lin Changqing also felt a lot lighter.

After Lin Zhu got home, she remembered that Wang Shudun and his son didn't seem to have brought a water bottle, so she sent them another water bottle, and then she went home with peace of mind. In this way, the time for two round trips was almost used up. She wanted to drink water today.

She had some fried cakes, and the pasta was very satisfying, so she baked ten fried cakes. She was afraid that there would not be enough to eat, so each cake was generous. She also cut half a pig heart so that they could eat it between the cakes and in the bone soup.

Add some green vegetables and the meal is ready.

He left a piece of cake and two bowls of soup for himself and Heidouer. Linzhu packed the remaining soup in a jar, wrapped the cake and pig heart with a drawer cloth, took three more bowls and three pairs of chopsticks, and put them away first.

In the space, I put the beetroot on my back again to show off, and went to the fields. On the way, I happened to meet two sisters, Lin Youqing and Lin Ruyu, who were also going to the fields to deliver food. They were afraid that they would find out that there was actually no food in the beetle on their backs.

So when no one was paying attention, they took the rice out of the space and put it in their back baskets. Lin Youqing and Lin Ruyu were both carrying baskets. Because there were many people working in their fields, they took a lot of rice. The farm was idle.

Sometimes I eat rice, and when I'm busy, I eat dry. Lin Youqing made a lot of rice, put it in a basin and covered it with a lid. The dish was cabbage and pork. The meat was cut into slices and stewed with the cabbage. The taste was very fragrant and substantial.

There was less meat in it. Ruyu also wondered what kind of rice Lin Zhu made, so Lin Zhu took off the beetle and let her take a look. The golden flatbread was fragrant, and the milky white bone soup with green vegetables floating in it was also very tempting.

.

"Hehe, Xiaozhu's rice is really delicious, but ours is also very delicious, right, sister?" Ruyu smiled and talked to Youqing, but her eyes kept glancing at Lin Zhu's big cakes and her own meat slices.

, Youqing patted her head, "Okay, hurry up and send it over. My parents must be hungry. I have left food for you at home. You can eat it soon." Ruyu thought about it and nodded with the two of them.

They walked towards the field together, and met many villagers delivering meals on the road, including old people and children. Ruyu and Youqing both thought that they were greeting each other, but Lin Zhu didn't recognize them, so they had to follow Youqing to see what she did.

, and follow how to do it.

When they arrived at the field, they found that a large area of ​​rice had been cut down. The same was true for the village chief's family. Because there were six people, more had been cut. He separated from the Ruyu sisters and walked towards the three people who were still working.

"Uncle Wang, let's take a rest and eat." Lin Zhu called them over. The three of them happened to be hungry, so they stopped what they were doing and walked over to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu took out the cakes and soup from his back, and took out the bowls and chopsticks, only to put them on the grass. When Wang Shudun and his son came over to take a look, they were shocked and couldn't believe that this meal was for them.

It was prepared by three people. They used to do work for the villagers. At that time, they only ate some rice and some vegetables. Better people would add some meat to the vegetables, just a few slices here and there. Other meals were a little oily.

The stars were pretty good. Now that they saw that the rice brought by Lin Zhu included golden flatbreads and sliced ​​meat-like pig hearts, they were all a little flattered and embarrassed to stretch out their hands to eat.

"Uncle Wang, you have been tired for a long time. Eat quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold." Seeing them not moving their chopsticks, Lin Zhu thought they were dissatisfied with the rice. "I baked some pancakes because they were pig hearts."

"It has been cooked a long time ago. Even the village chief thinks it is delicious. You guys should try it too. Just add it to the cake and roll it up to eat. If it is dry, there will be soup." After hearing what Lin Zhu said, Wang Shudun immediately said: "Girl,

Is this for us to eat?" Seeing Lin Zhu nodding in agreement, he was so excited that he could not speak, "This, this, this is too good to eat. I, we actually don't need to eat such good food." Seeing him

So excited, Lin Zhu felt that the people here were a bit too simple. She thought it was appropriate to hire people to work and provide better meals. But looking at him like this, he must have never received such treatment before, so she quickly persuaded him

Let’s eat first and talk about the rest later.

Wang Shudun's two sons felt even hungrier after seeing such a good meal, but their father didn't say anything, and neither of them dared to step forward. After Lin Zhu persuaded his father, the three of them picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat together.

Food is coming.
