Chapter 383 Before the Autumn Harvest
The wedding did not end until the evening. Tan Chen has always been calm and did not like the bridal chamber pranks. He helped the Li family deal with some post-wedding matters and then returned to the compound.
Li Jiasheng had already agreed with his family that he would stay at home for two days after the wedding, and when he returned to his parents' home on the third day, he would accompany Yangmei back to Sihe Village.
This time, Li Jiasheng returned to Sihe Village not just to visit his relatives, but also because he planned to live there and officially start his farming life.
Li's parents are very open-minded. They know that any decision their son makes has its own reasons, and they support him unconditionally.
Tan Chen could have gone back to Sihe Village with Li Jiasheng and the others, but he had been away for several days and was really worried about his wife. After all, her belly was so big, and if she felt unwell, he could still take care of her at home.
So, on the second day after Li Jiasheng's wedding, he and Jiang Ping rushed back to Sihe Village.
There was nothing wrong with Shang Ruoting's health, which made Tan Chen and his mother feel relieved.
Perhaps the house that Tan Chen helped Zhou Ergu and her acquaintance build was so good that people came to him for help building houses in recent days.
Since Zhang Wenfu helped, Tan Chen only needed to come up with a plan before building the house, and he didn't have to worry too much.
However, the autumn harvest is approaching, and the villagers who are helping to build houses may not have time.
However, Tan Chen still asked for their opinions. After all, many families have plenty of labor and wouldn't need one more person.
Sure enough, after he asked, only one person was unable to continue because there was little labor in the family and they had to focus on the autumn harvest.
When others heard that they could continue to earn money in the city, they agreed to go out to work after discussing with their families.
After all, the money I earned from building a house with Tan Chen was cash, and my life became much more comfortable.
With the experience of the previous two contracts, Tan Chen successfully took on two orders this time. After a preliminary calculation, his profit for each house could reach about 400 yuan.
In order to meet the construction deadline, he found three people in the village who would not participate in the autumn harvest to join the construction team.
Zhang Wenfu has now become a capable person that Tan Chen can use. Since Tan Chen earns money himself, he naturally cannot treat him unfairly, and his salary has also increased from two yuan a day to three yuan.
Zhang Wenfu was extremely grateful to Tan Chen. He never expected that he would be able to live a prosperous life now, despite having no choice but to seek refuge with him.
The combined salary of him and Mr. Shang is more than double what they earned when they worked in Kashiwa City.
Mr. Shang was also grateful to Old Lady Shang for taking him in, and to Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen for giving them jobs to survive. Now, the best way to repay them was to do his job to the best of his ability.
Tan Chen checked the blueprints of the homestead, and Zhang Wenfu was responsible for the construction. The two worked together very well.
By mid-September, every household began to harvest crops, and Tan Chen's family was no exception.
His family, like Yangmei's, not only had to harvest corn, but also had several acres of paddy fields.
Shang Ruoting's family planted late rice this year, and the maturity time of late rice and corn is almost the same.
Wang Xigui also asked for two days' leave from Tan Chen, went back to harvest his own acres of land first, and then came to help on Tan Chen's land.
Son-in-law Shang also fed the chickens and ducks in the farm early and went to help in the fields.
Since Mr. Tan came to his grandson's house, he has enjoyed eating and sleeping well. His previous physical discomfort symptoms have disappeared, and he feels like he is still strong.
His grandson's family was harvesting crops, so he naturally didn't want to fall behind, so he called his guard Xiao Li to go over and help.
The same goes for Mrs. Shang and Jiang Ping. In addition to taking care of the family's food and drink, they work in the fields in their free time.
Both of them had done farm work before, so they were not afraid of these things.
Shang Ruoting volunteered to take charge of the family's meals, but before she could finish her words, she was rejected by everyone.
Everyone had the same idea, which was that she only needed to take good care of the fetus and didn't need to worry about anything else.
Shang Ruoting comes from an agricultural background. Wouldn't she be anxious if she was idle at home during the autumn harvest?
So, after her constant persuasion, Tan Chen reluctantly agreed to let her stand aside and watch.
Well, just watching...
Even so, Shang Ruoting was already very satisfied. She didn't use her hands, but she could use her mouth.
For example, how to harvest rice faster. At the same time, she can also suggest that Tan Chen make some simple agricultural tools.
With her around to offer advice, everyone felt much more relaxed than before.
The same thing happened to the Yangmei family. After the hired couple finished harvesting their own crops, they helped the Yangmei family harvest the crops together, along with Li Jiasheng, the new strong laborer.
For the first time, Yangmei felt that contracting so much land was not a big pressure.
