There were fish raised by Li Wanfu himself, vegetables grown by Liu Yan himself, and roast goose bought by Li Bu from outside.
What's more important is that this lunch meal is the first time in five years that Li Bu and his family are all together, so everyone including Li Wanfu and Liu Yan enjoyed this meal today very happily.
After having enough wine and food, the whole family sat together to drink tea and chat.
While chatting, Li Wanfu asked about Li Bu's orchard; "Xiao Bu, you have got your cement and barbed wire back. When are you going to start construction on your orchard?"
"It depends on when your school will be ready.
Once your school is finished, I can naturally start work.
If your school doesn't finish it, no one will use it, and I don't know how to handle it myself.
By the way, Dad, how long do you still need to work on your school..." Hearing Li Wanfu ask about his orchard, Li Bu couldn't help but waved his hand, showing an expression that said, "I can only wait for you."
.
He also knew that Li Bu didn't know how to handle these things, so Li Wanfu didn't say anything to him. Instead, after thinking for a while, he looked at Li Hong and said, "Li Hong, you and Chunni have nothing to do now. How about you two?"
Why don't you help your brother clean up the orchard first?"
"Chunni and I can do small jobs, but you ask us to help him build walls and cabins. We really can't build these.
This still has to wait for you and your brother and his father-in-law. When you are free, you two can come over. We really can’t play..." Although I really want to help my brother, I really don’t know how to build walls and cabins.
Li Hong was unwilling and did not dare to show off his talent.
After hearing what his eldest brother and father said, Li Bu thought about it, then smiled and flattered Li Wanfu and said, "Dad, why don't you and my father-in-law step aside and help me with the orchard? Anyway,
Just leave one person to watch over at the school, two people there are overqualified, aren't they..."
"Okay, then I'll step back from the school stuff first.
I will take your eldest brother and your sister-in-law to your orchard in the afternoon to determine the location of your fence and cabin, and then the three of us will build the frame for you first.
But let’s make an agreement first, brother Ming will settle the score, you have to give me one hundred and fifty a day for a big job like mine, and your elder brother and sister-in-law will pay one hundred and fifty a day for such a big job.
Also, we work for four hours in the morning, four hours in the afternoon, and eight hours a day." Because the families were separated, in order to prevent the two brothers Li Bu and Li Hong from having conflicts in the future, Li Wanfu directly acted as the bad guy.
I talked to Li Bu about wages.
Knowing that Li Wanfu had negotiated a lower price, Li Bu quickly shook his head and said, "Two hundred for big workers and one hundred and fifty for small workers. It doesn't make sense to pay one hundred for those who do hard work."
Moreover, the school will be finished in a few days, and my father-in-law will also come to help. If you let him know that I only paid 100 for my small work, he will not scold me until I am suspicious.
That’s it, it’s 200 a day for dad, and 300 a day for the eldest brother and sister-in-law. The salary calculation will start tomorrow, and today’s salary is too low..."
"Brother-in-law, we don't need wages. We'll help you do it now. When you finish it, just help us do it.
If you can drive, it will be easy to get things up. Your brother and I don’t even have motorcycles, hehehe..."
Chuni is much smarter than Li Hong. Li Hong is honest and sincere. When his brother said it was money, he thought it was OK. It doesn't matter how much it is, just have it. He won't care about it.
But Chunni was different, because she knew that Li Bu's help was more important to them than the salary.
Hearing what his sister-in-law said, Li Bu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile on his face and said, "This is how wages are calculated. Paying money for work is a matter of course.
Also, write me what you want to buy, and I will pull it back for you. Anyway, whether you pull the thing back or not, you will need to use gas..."
"Okay, then I'll pay you the wages you said, two hundred for big workers and one hundred and fifty for small workers."
After listening to the conversation between Li Bu and Chun Ni, Li Wanfu agreed to the wages given by Li Bu, then pointed at the dozing Li Yanmei and smiled at Li Bu: "Okay, this matter is settled.
Also, Xiaobu, your wife is almost falling asleep sitting down, you should take her back to sleep quickly, I will go down the mountain with you at two or three o'clock every day, you don't know how to feel sorry for your wife..."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'm okay, you guys can continue chatting, I can just go back to sleep by myself, hahaha..." Li Yanmei, who was woken up from her nap, quickly waved her hands and said with an embarrassed look that she could go back by herself.
Boo can continue chatting with them.
There is nothing left to talk about, and I am indeed very tired these past few days.
So after hearing Li Wanfu's words, Li Bu immediately took advantage of the situation and stood up. While going home with Li Yanmei, he said with a smile, "Okay, then Yanmei and I will go back to sleep first. Don't say it seriously."
I’m quite sleepy, hehehe..."
"Okay, then you can go back. Just come and call us when you pick lychees in the afternoon." After sending Li Bu and Li Yanmei out with a smile, Li Wanfu and his family also ended their chat and went back to their respective rooms to take a nap.
.
They were tired today, so after Li Bu and Li Yanmei got home, they simply took a bath and didn't even play the human-making exercise. They hugged each other and went to bed, sleeping until three-thirty in the afternoon.
After 3:30, Li Bu and Li Yanmei carried poles and baskets, followed Li Wanfu's family of four, Li Aiguo and his wife, to Li Wanfu's lychee garden, and then started picking lychees there.
Following the old rules, two young men, Li Bu and Li Hong, picked the lychees from the tree, while Li Wanfu and the other six were responsible for selecting, tying, soaking, and carrying them home and putting them away under the tree.
After picking lychees for about half an hour, Li Wanfu suddenly handed Li Aiguo a cigarette and said, "Aiguo, we've almost bought the things at Xiaobu Orchard. He said he was going to start work today, so I started from school."
That side retreated..."
"Xiaobu told me about this, but you can't do it alone. I'll send half of the people from the school to you in the afternoon.
Now the school has only a few things left to do, and it would be a waste to keep so many people." After hearing Li Wanfu's words, Li Aiguo took his cigarette and lit it, and agreed without any hesitation, and even said
He said that he would send someone to Li Wanfu to use him.
After hearing what Li Aiguo said, Li Wanfu thought about it and felt that there was no need to go to the school with so many people, so he smiled and agreed; "Okay, you can arrange for people to come later, but the wages are here."
We can’t give too high a price, we’ll give you 200 for big jobs and 150 for small jobs, so we can only give this price...”
"It's two hundred for big workers and one hundred and fifty for small workers. It's a little less, but if I add a lunch, I don't think they will have any objection, hehehe..."
Working in the orchard was very tiring, and one hundred and fifty a day was really not much, so as the village chief, Li Aiguo made a suggestion for lunch so that the villagers would not suffer and Li Wanfu would not pay more.
Lunch is not difficult to prepare, and there are more people eating at my house recently. Now if there are more people eating, it is just to put more rice and prepare more vegetables.
So Li Wanfu agreed without any hesitation; "Okay, let's add another lunch. Just tell them that lunch is guaranteed to be big fish and meat, and our little bu will not treat those who help with the work badly...
."
Li Bu, who has been busy picking lychees on the tree, has no objections to the arrangements made by his father and his father-in-law. In addition, he is also very happy that his father-in-law and father-in-law can arrange things that he does not know how to do.
