After seeing off the magistrate and others, Tian Minyan and his family were busy packing it up. The two tables that the squires ordered from Zhenjiang Tower were basically untouched. There were two bottles of wine left, so Tian Minyan put them away and kept them. They will be used for entertaining guests in the future. As for those dishes, I selected some good ones and gave them to Aunt Zhu’s family. I thanked them for their help and asked Xie Gouzi to take a plate home.
After everything was tidied up, the family had time to talk. Tian Huairen talked about the agreement between Tian Minyan and Mr. Wen again, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Nanny, are you really sure that everything will be fine?" Luo Shi looked at Tian Minyan with a worried look.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I won't take on the porcelain work without the diamond. Since I can do it, I can do it. Just relax."
"You kid, you've been thinking big since you lost your water. It doesn't matter, at worst we'll just have to live in poverty again." Luo Shi said with a smile.
"Well, I will go to the town to find work tomorrow." Tian Huairen also nodded.
Tian Minyan laughed out loud and said: "Dad, it's not so serious. Don't worry about things in vain and get lost in your mind. We have a lot of land now and no long-term workers. There are a lot of things to take care of. You go to town." I'm looking for work, who will take care of the fields? The rice in this field has already eared and will be harvested in a few days. The land in the back hill also needs fertilization. I'm worried about the manpower."
"How about I come home to help first?" Tian Minrui said hesitantly.
"Brother, are you stupid? You don't want to study anymore? The adults praise you, how can you delay your studies because of farm work? Our family has to rely on you." Tian Minyan immediately glared at him.
Tian Minrui laughed, covered his eyes, and picked up the book again. No one noticed the complicated light in his eyes.
"Dad, Mom, that's what I think. Nowadays, there are more and more fields. My brother and Xiaowu both want to go to school. You are pregnant with a baby and I am a girl. There will definitely not be enough manpower to work in the fields. ,So, I would like to ask a few long-term workers to help first." Tian Minyan looked at everyone and said her plan.
"Hire a long-term worker?" Tian Huairen and Luo Shi looked at each other, a little unnaturally, and said, "No one in our family can hire a long-term worker. We can just work slowly. It's too expensive to hire a long-term worker." "
"Dad, why can't you afford it?" Tian Minyan rolled her eyes. Once again, she was defeated by Tian Huairen's small farmer consciousness, and she slowly said: "Dad, let alone autumn sowing, even summer harvest, we have a few crops. We have ten acres of land to harvest, how can we catch up with it? We have to hire people, and we have to do it quickly, otherwise we won’t be able to catch up with the autumn sowing.”
Tian Huairen hesitated for a while and said, "Our family doesn't have much money left in this land reclamation."
"Don't worry, Dad, our family can still afford to hire a long-term worker. Don't forget, we just did a few businesses, and the preserved eggs are a good income."
Luo Shi smiled after hearing this: "I didn't expect that some people really like to eat that thing."
Tian Minyan said with a smile: "People are looking for novelty, just like cakes. Nowadays, preserved eggs are expensive. There are more people making them, so they are no longer valuable."
"That's true, as Xiao Wu said, it's rare and expensive."
"Mom, things are rare and valuable." Tian Minyan, the three brothers and sister said in unison.
"Yep."
"Dad, do you have any success in hiring a long-term worker?" After laughing, Tian Minyan asked Tian Huairen again: "Look, can Xie Gouzi be used?"
"Nanny, do you want to invite him?" Tian Minrui raised his head again and frowned.
"Brother, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Tian Minrui looked at him, thought for a while and said: "Xie Gouzi's reputation is not very good, but he is quite flexible. Take the matter of land reclamation. He doesn't know how to farm, but his brain is good.
You can adapt and draw inferences from one instance to another. Look at the ditches in the wasteland, there are some things I didn't expect, but he reminded me of them."
"After clearing the wasteland, he ran back and forth. What was his plan?" Tian Huairen asked. Remembering that he heard that Xie Gouzi came to steal while he was away, he said with a serious face: "It won't happen again.
Let’s make some plans for our family.”
"Dad, he is indeed interested in our family." Tian Minyan smiled, and seeing Tian Huairen's expression changed drastically, she quickly said: "But it's not what you think. I think he wants to find a job with us."
"How to say?"
"What do you think of our family now? Let alone the town, it's in Yangmei Village." Tian Minyan looked at everyone and asked.
Several people looked at each other and hesitated a little, but Luo Shi said first: "Our family has made great progress. Now, except for Landlord Chen, Sun Juren and others, our family has the most land. Folks, well, sometimes
When you meet me, call me Third Grandma."
"Some people still call me Fifth Young Master." Xiao Wu also raised his nose.
Tian Minyan looked at Tian Minrui with a smile. He blushed slightly and said hesitantly: "Tie Zhu doesn't dare to call me a poor man anymore."
Tiezhu is a child of the Xie family. He used to bully Tian Minrui and his brothers, making them poor and beggars.
"You see, the attitude of the people in the village is enough to show that our family is going to live a better life, so they will respect us. In the future, our family will be better. Not only the people in the village, but also the town and even the entire county will know about us.
The third room of the Tian family." Tian Minyan smiled confidently.
"Xie Gouzi has taken a fancy to this. These talents will rely on our family in our fields. He is watching and considering. After today, I dare say that tomorrow he will come to our door and ask for a job."
Tian Minyan said again: "Now, do you think our family still needs to hire long-term workers?"
"It seems to make sense." Tian Huairen scratched his head in embarrassment, glanced at Luo Shi and said, "We can't let your mother go to the ground with a full belly."
After hearing the ironing, Luo Shi pushed him quietly, his face turning slightly red.
"Then we should invite the folks from the village?" Tian Huairen chuckled innocently.
"Inappropriate." Tian Minyan and Tian Minrui said in unison.
Tian Minyan looked at Tian Minrui, wanting to see what he was thinking, and said, "Brother, tell me."
"Fellows in the village, we all live in the same village and have been together for many years. Due to this relationship, some things are not easy to do. Moreover, we are hiring long-term workers, not just a day or two.
, if you invite people from the village, after a long time, you will just rely on your old people and sell them, which will not work."
Tian Minrui's words were clear and logical, which made Tian Minyan look at him in a new light. She was very happy that her brother had such an awareness, so she nodded and agreed: "Brother is right, what we want to hire is a long-term worker, not a master. The people in the village are too familiar, which is not good."
Management, of course, except for people like Xie Gouzi."
"Then as you see..."
"I think it's better to ask Uncle Deng to find a few people for us. Dad, brother, what do you think?" Tian Minyan smiled and asked for everyone's opinions. Deng Fugui has a wide range of people, so it would be best for him to find people.
No one had any objections to Tian Minyan's recommendation, so the matter was settled.
