Chapter 378 Hiring people
"In addition to the tenants, there are about a hundred households in Zhangjia Village. It depends on how many people sign up. If every household signs up, we can only divide them into two groups, one group taking turns a day, and each family only needs one person."
Shao Yunduan added: "We need young and strong men. If there are no young and strong men at home, we can use others."
Ding Erzhu nodded and wrote it down, then said with a smile, "Okay, after hearing what you said, I know what to do. Twenty cents a day plus food, that's a lot. Except for the lazy ones, everyone will definitely sign up."
The three of them discussed for a while how to do it specifically, how to divide them into groups for easier management, how to prevent those who wanted to slack off, and if there were scoundrels who wanted to bully them as outsiders and take advantage of them, how to gradually make the matter clear.
It was agreed that after Ding Erzhu had discussed with the head of the village and made note of all the families who had registered, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan would come back three days later.
If they think it's ok, they can start the work.
Qiao Xuan took a look at the house they lived in and smiled, "This house is fine for temporary living, but it's not suitable for winter. We have to manage the tea plantation next year, store grain, and plant litchi, so it's not good to have no place. When the land of the tea plantation is ready, we can build a big yard here, and then Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Zhou can live in two rooms."
Ding Erzhu and Zhou had just discussed a few days ago when to go to the city to buy some yellow paper to cover the wooden house with a thick layer, and then save some money to buy more charcoal, quilts, and make some thick winter clothes. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan talked about building a house.
Even though Qiao Xuan had mentioned it before, she and Shao Yunduan never mentioned it, and Ding Erzhu and Zhou didn't think it was a big deal.
Maybe they have other plans and won’t build it for the time being?
After all, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn't owe them anything. They should solve their own problems. There was no reason for them to wait for them to build a new house for them to live in.
After hearing what Qiao Xuan said, both of them were stunned.
Shao Yunduan also said: "It's time to cover it up, otherwise it will be inconvenient."
"Well, I also want to dig a fish pond to raise fish and grow lotus roots!"
"good!"
Ding Erzhu felt a little embarrassed, "Well, then I'll have to live in your house for free. After a few years, when we've saved up some money, we'll build two more houses."
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "You just live here first, and when you build a house, build it next to our yard, it will be more convenient!"
They have a son, so it is impossible for them to live in Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan's yard forever. For long-term planning, they naturally have to build their own house.
Ding Erzhu's eyes sparkled and he said yes with a smile.
Zhou was also happy.
Before the two of them left, Zhou said to Qiao Xuan a little embarrassedly: "Niece-in-law, can I ask my mother to come over and help with the steaming of buns? Shitou is still young, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of him. It would be bad if someone messes up."
Zhou has a gentle personality, but her mother is not someone you can easily mess with.
Zhou mainly wanted her mother to support her.
If the women who came to work took some steamed buns and steamed bread at will, or if their children came along, or even the children from the village came and wanted to eat them eagerly, Zhou really didn't dare to say anything.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "That's great. I was worried that my aunt would be tired, so it's just right to invite my wife. In this way, we can also invite the village head's wife. My wife and the village head's wife are paid thirty cents a day. My aunt's share is calculated on a monthly basis, so I won't be included in it."
