I should give them a raise next year, Song Yuehua thought to herself.
The situation in Dongshan has just recovered this year. There was no harvest, and not to mention the wages, the red envelope benefits for the New Year still have to be paid.
It is not easy for Qin Xiuxiu to be the manager this year. In the past, Zong Yi and Zhou Dafu only had to manage 30 acres of land each, but she has to manage 90 acres alone.
We should compensate her well with this welfare benefit.
"Aunt Tan, am I putting too much pressure on you?"
Song Yuehua asked this when she was checking the accounts with Tan Xiuxiu in the evening.
Tan Xiuxiu immediately straightened her back and patted her chest, saying, "Boss, don't underestimate me, I'm very strong!"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I'm just worried that it will be too hard for you."
Tan Xiuxiu also smiled and said, "It's true that the place is big, and I have to make many trips a day. I can't do everything myself like the two managers before, but I can guarantee that not an inch of land will be wasted, and not a single seedling will be left untended."
"There's so much work to do and so few people to work with. It's really hard work, Auntie. When we plant cotton next year, we can hire a few more long-term workers."
Song Yuehua said, "The 60 acres of land I got from Baozi will need to be tilled more next spring, and more base fertilizer will be applied. If it's not enough, have someone go outside to harvest it. If you don't understand something, you can ask Uncle Dafu, he was in charge of all this before."
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and it’s time to dig out the food that was buried in the snake cave.
The next day, Song Yuehua baked a few pancakes, called Wei Da, and went into the mountains to dig for food.
"If we come now, won't the food go bad?" asked Wei Da.
Song Yuehua jumped down from the snake pit and steadied herself before saying, "No, it's wrapped in several layers of oilcloth. It won't get damaged if water doesn't get in."
After they finished talking, they picked up their hoes and started digging.
Digging out the grain is not a big problem, the most difficult part is transporting the grain back one batch at a time.
If it was just food, it would be fine, but I thought too much at that time. There are also several jars of wine and salt, as well as medicine bags.
The two carried the baskets and transported the wine several times. Then Song Yuehua said, "Put the wine here. Don't take it away."
Wei Da nodded and said, "The longer the wine is stored, the better it tastes."
In fact, Song Yuehua didn’t mean that.
"The Great Immortal Bai left behind a pool of water and a snake skin, which helped us a lot. Is this wine for him?"
Although Wei Da felt that even if the snake was alive, he would not be able to drink the water, let alone die.
But he didn't mean to say more, so he just took it as it came.
The two men moved all six jars of wine to the deepest part of the snake cave.
After coming out, Song Yuehua clasped her hands together and faced the snake cave, silently saying in her heart, "Great Immortal Bai, I beg you to bless this place with good weather and good harvests. If it is convenient, please also bless our family with no illness or disaster, and longevity."
Wei Da, "..."
