Chapter 703 Help
Liu Datao and her two daughters-in-law worked in the kitchen for half a day and made a few dishes.
The Zhao family's children smelled the aroma and naturally gathered around. Liu Datao waved her hand and drove them away in disdain, "Go, go play over there. Come and eat when the adults have left over."
Zhao Baofeng looked at the children's disappointed eyes, stood up and stopped them from leaving, "Mom, there are no outsiders here, let them eat here!
There are many people, it’s lively! ”
Liu Datao looked at Zhao Baofeng in embarrassment, then glanced at Ye Yunsheng, "That won't do. My son-in-law is a guest, we can't neglect him."
Ye Yunsheng also stood up and echoed Zhao Baofeng, "Mom, my mother is right, it's more lively when there are more people."
As the head of the family, Zhao Fugui said, "Just do as my son-in-law says!"
There were more than ten people in the Zhao family, plus Ye Yunsheng and Zhao Baofeng, and the square table was packed.
The children devoured the food, "Mmm, delicious!"
“This is delicious too!”
Zhao Feng from Zhao Dabao's family doesn't care about others when eating. He just puts whatever he sees delicious into his bowl.
The bowl in front of him was already full, but he was still unwilling to give up and continued to pick up meat and vegetables.
Li Lancao kicked him from below to remind him to pay attention. He looked at Li Lancao impatiently and said, "Mom, why are you kicking me? Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Can't you let me eat more?"
Zhao Dabao glared at him and said, "There's not much good meat on the whole plate of chicken. If you put it all in your bowl, what will others eat?"
"Don't you guys dislike eating meat? Right, grandpa and grandma!"
Seeing the child being so disappointing, Li Lancao was so angry that she hit him on the head with chopsticks, "How can you talk like that, kid? Who doesn't like to eat meat?
The meat is so delicious!"
Zhao Feng stood up angrily and glared at Li Lancao fiercely, "Is it okay if I don't eat it?"
Having said that, he walked out angrily. After a few steps, he came back with the bowls piled up in front of him.
Li Lancao wanted to get up and chase him, but was stopped by Zhao Fugui, "Okay, he has plenty of food in his bowl, he won't starve.
There are guests at home, don’t let people laugh at you.”
Liu Datao smiled and let everyone eat the food. She even put a piece of meat in Zhao Baofeng's bowl. Zhao Baofeng gave it to her and said, "Mom, you eat it."
Liu Datao looked at the meat in his bowl and felt extremely satisfied.
Zhao Feng left in a huff. The other children were able to eat some meat, but they all took the dishes in front of them obediently and did not scramble for them like Zhao Feng did.
Zhao Baofeng and Ye Yunsheng secretly observed these children and got a general idea of their temperaments and personalities.
After dinner, Zhao Erbao made another pot of tea, and everyone gathered together to drink tea and chat.
Liu Datao took out a few coins from his pocket and instructed Liu Cuiyu to go out and buy some melon seeds, but was stopped by Zhao Baofeng.
"Mom, don't buy anything, we'll be back soon.
Please sit down and let’s talk.”
Ye Yunsheng glanced at Zhao Baofeng, then glanced at everyone present. "My child's mother and I came here, firstly to see the elders, and secondly, to discuss something with everyone."
Zhao Fugui quickly waved his hand, "Second son-in-law, hurry up and speak, we are all listening!"
"As everyone knows, my family bought a lot of mountain land this year, but reclaiming mountain land is very troublesome.
I thought of asking my eldest brother and Erbao to go over and help out. The wages would be the same as those of the people in our village, forty cents a day.
At noon, we provide a meal.
I just wonder if Big Brother and Erbao are free. If they are, they can start work tomorrow."
"this?"
Zhao Fugui's mind was almost spinning. If the eldest and second sons both went to work for the second son-in-law, they would earn 40 coins a day, which would be 1,200 coins a month. For two people, that would be...
Before he could figure it out, Liu Datao turned around and said to Ye Yunsheng with a smile, "We are all relatives. Why should we pay them wages? If the family is really busy, let them help out. Isn't that what they should do?"
Ye Yunsheng shook his head firmly. "Mom, farmers are busy all day long. I can't let my eldest brother and Erbao help us with the work every day."
Zhao Baofeng looked at Ye Yunsheng gratefully. In the past, every family lived a similar life and she didn't notice any difference.
At that time, because their Ye family was a hunter, although they had no shortage of money, Liu Datao still looked down on his second son-in-law.
Every time he came back, he complained that the Ye family had no land and had to spend money to buy food.
Later, Zhao Baofeng didn't want Ye Yunsheng to suffer this humiliation, so when she came back, she put down her things and hurried back.
This time, after staying at her parents' home for a while, she felt even more uncomfortable.
What Ye Yunsheng said just now also touched her heart.
She originally planned to go back and have a good discussion with Ye Yunsheng before making a decision.
Now that Ye Yunsheng has taken the initiative to bring it up, he might as well settle the matter today, which can also be considered as helping his in-laws.
"Dad, Mom, my head of the household is right. If it were the old days, farmers wouldn't have much work to do in the cold winter.
But our family now raises chickens and sheep, so when spring comes, we have to open up wasteland to grow crops, trees, and medicinal herbs.
Anyway, there is no idle day.
We have to hire others and pay them, so we might as well let the eldest brother and Erbao help us.
After all, the eldest brother and the second baby are also family members.
They earn wages and their families have income.
I just wonder if Big Brother and Erbao going to work at my house will delay our farm work."
Zhao Fugui shook his head and said, "It's only a few acres of land, it won't be a delay at all.
The younger generation has all grown up, and I will then take them to the fields."
"In that case, let's make it a deal.
Tomorrow, my eldest brother and my second baby will come to my house to work!
The wages are paid once a month."
Zhao Baofeng glanced at Liu Cuiyu again and said, "Second sister-in-law, if you are interested in needlework, you can bring the girls to my place.
Let my eldest daughter-in-law teach you. When you have learned it, I will tell her and ask her to assign you some simple tasks to do at home. If you do them well, you will get paid."
Liu Cuiyu was so excited that she almost cried. "Second sister, this is really great. I can sew, and the children also know a little bit. I will take the children there tomorrow, okay?"
"Of course you can. You can go with Erbao and the others, have lunch at my place at noon, and come back with them in the afternoon."
Zhao Baofeng looked at Liu Datao and said, "Mom, my second brother and his wife will be away with the children for a few days. You may be able to handle the housework."
Liu Datao nodded quickly, "There's not much work to do at home, just feeding the chickens, sweeping the floor, cooking and so on.
They were not at home, so there were fewer people eating.
Besides, isn't your sister-in-law at home too?"
