Chapter 179 Recruitment of long-term workers

In the cold winter of October, in a dilapidated private house on the outskirts of Shangjing, several cold-hearted men were rubbing their hands and talking together.

It's so cold in Beijing that even the thick door curtains can't stop the knife-like cold wind from blowing in, making people's cheeks hurt.

Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and a person rushed in like a gust of wind, with a biting cold air on his body and snowflakes on his shoulders.

Seeing the man come in, several men sitting in the room stood up and looked at the man and asked eagerly: "Xiao Wu, is the whereabouts of the general?"

The man called Xiao Wu was only about 20 years old. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his dark eyes were shining with excitement. He said: "I've found it, I've found it."

Everyone was overjoyed, breathing heavily and looking at him.

"In Changpyeong, Gyeongju, there is a small town called Baise." Xiaowu's eyes sparkled.

Among the men, a dark-faced, tall man in his thirties or forties punched himself in the palm of his hand and said, "Let's go find the general."

"Let's go!" everyone shouted.

As soon as I walked out of the door, a woman wearing a heavy jacket and holding a big bundle trotted over.

"Brother Tie, are you going to look for the general?" The woman pursed her lips and concealed her excitement and said, "Cai Niang also wants to go with some big brothers."

The few people looked at each other, nodded, and the group hurried southward against the wind and snow.

"What have you been doing so mysteriously these days?" Su Liu sat on the carriage shaft and asked Ning Guang, who was driving the carriage.

When she came to the town together, she was asked to go to Baicaotang by herself, but he disappeared. Sometimes he didn't see anyone for two days in a row, and she didn't know what he was doing.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make all the windows in the house glazed? I'm going to find some shops to order them." Ning Guang said calmly, as if he didn't want to talk more about this topic, and asked: "How is the situation at the shop?"

"Look, the documents and contract are ready and can be delivered." Su Liu smiled when he mentioned the shop.

This is the first shop she has opened here, so she must organize it well.

Ning Guang turned his head and glanced at her. He didn't know whether it was because of the cold wind or what, but her fair face was stained with two red clouds, her small chin was slightly raised, a few strands of hair flew up playfully, and her eyebrows were widened.

A lot.

Looking at her soft profile, Ning Guang's cold and hard heart became a lot softer, and said: "I'm fine. I've hired the long-term workers and started building the house, right?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Su Liu's face turned redder and redder, and she nodded a little shyly.

When Ning Guang saw her shy look, his heart became softer and softer, and he whipped the riding crop on the horse. Maybe it would be good to just live his life like this.

Mrs. Wu acted quickly, and on the next day she arrived at Su Liu's house in Day'ao Village in a donkey cart with the documents.

Hearing the sound, Su Liu came out and saw a man about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, with a simple and honest face standing next to Mrs. Wu.

"This is my Da Lang. His damn father named him Wu Song. You can just call him Da Lang." Mrs. Wu introduced the man cheerfully.

The corner of Su Liu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and suddenly he felt like asking the deceased Wu Yayi, had he watched too much of the Three Kingdoms? Wu Song, Wu Dalang, what kind of trouble are they going to make?

Su Liu was cursing in his heart, but Su Liu smiled lightly on his face and saluted, "Brother Wu."

Seeing Su Liu, Wu Dalang was a little at a loss. He grasped the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands and replied awkwardly: "Miss Su Su."

"Look at you, you're such a loser. You're still so shy in front of girls. They won't eat you. It seems like you need to find a wife for you as soon as possible." Mrs. Wu gently slapped Wu Dalang's arm.

Laugh and scold.

Wu Dalang's face turned red, he frowned and shouted: "Mother!"

Su Liu pursed his lips and smiled softly when he saw it, and said, "Mrs. Wu and Brother Wu come in to have tea and talk."

Mrs. Wu was straightforward and not shy. As she followed Su Liu into the house, she said: "He can't read. He usually has to go to far places, so he drives me to drive him. I also want to teach him how to do it."

, I won’t be able to walk in the future, and he can make a living by being a gibberish, but who knows he is just stupid.”

"I think Brother Wu is very good." Su Liu laughed.

Mrs. Wu was so modest that she knew what her son was like. When she entered the courtyard, she saw Ms. Chen standing in front of the hall door to greet her. Her eyes lit up and she stepped forward with a smile: "Oh, this must be Sister Chen. Look.

Look, they look like a pair of sisters, Miss Su."

She enthusiastically took Chen's hands and praised her with a smile, which made Chen a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm.

"Mom, this is Mrs. Wu. The shop we want to buy is the price she agreed on." Su Liu introduced.

After hearing this, Ms. Chen smiled and welcomed the person in.

Su Xiao also heard the sound and came out to welcome him. When he saw a guest, he went to prepare tea and serve it.

"Look at Sister Chen's daughters. Each one is prettier than the other. I'm so envious of her, but my girl can't compare." Mrs. Wu couldn't help but praise her again when she saw Su Xiao.

She was born as a charlatan, and she was very good at talking. Good things came out of her mouth in a flash, and she was flattering, but not exaggerated or disgusting. Mrs. Chen soon chatted with her.

Ripe.

Su Liu listened on the side, pursed her lips and smiled softly. They said that a charlatan has a lotus tongue, and it was indeed true. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu was a cheerful person, otherwise some people would really not be able to stand her talk.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Wu got down to business: "The documents and deeds are all ready. When I come back, I will ask you to hand-print and deliver them together tomorrow. I will then go to the Yamen to sign the red deed.

It’s done.”

After hearing this, Su Liu smiled and said, "Mrs. Wu moves really fast."

"What I dislike the most is procrastination." Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "You said you want to recruit two long-term workers. I have an idea. They are all working in the fields, but there are many people in the family and they can't afford it.

The food and people are very nice. I want to see them tomorrow too. I can start work immediately after signing the contract."

Su Liu was really surprised this time. He blinked and said, "So fast!"

"I told you earlier that this matter will be taken care of by me." Madam Wu said with a look on her face.

Several people laughed again after hearing this.

Mrs. Wu came back specifically to deliver the news. Since she had other important matters, she left without leaving any food.

The next day, Su Liu and Ning Guang went to a town, handed over money to the owner of the shop and signed a deed, and then met the two long-term workers that Mrs. Wu had found.

There are two long-term workers, one is about thirty years old, his name is Ye Ping. I heard that the family has several children, and they are too poor to take the blame. The family originally had land, but it was sold to treat the old father's illness. The younger one is only ten years old.

I am nine years old, my name is Pan Yucheng, my family is poor, so I cannot afford a wife at this age.

Both of them looked more loyal and honest, Ye Ping was more silent and introverted, while Pan Yuchen was shy but also cheerful.

The two of them signed a ten-year contract, and their salary was 500 yuan a month. The remaining balance was paid in one lump sum the year before, and they started working immediately.

This was the time when Qiu received the ending. When Su Liu returned to Da'ao Village with two long-term workers, he caused a small sensation again.
