As they talked, they arrived at the place where everyone was clearing the land.
Zhou Lizheng, Song Yuehua and Zhou Dafu searched all over Dongshantou before selecting the 30 acres of wasteland.
At first glance, the land was relatively flat. There were men and women working there. Some were carrying soil, some were wielding hoes, and some unrestrained men simply took off their shirts, with sweat dripping onto the land.
The 20 people working here temporarily were selected by Zhou Dafu after a long time.
They all brought their own farm tools, and I heard that there were also a few from the neighboring village. When Zhou Dafu said this, it seemed like he was explaining something.
Song Yuehua really doesn't care. She can find someone from anywhere as long as they can do the job well.
"Uncle Dafu, I can't trust anyone but you!" Song Yuehua interrupted with a smile.
"If it weren't for you and Grandpa Zhou, I wouldn't have been so worry-free these years. There's no need to talk about this between us."
Song Yuehua said this sincerely. If Zhou Dafu hadn't been in charge of the working hours at the school, it wouldn't have been so worry-free. And when she was injured, if the Zhou family hadn't been looking after the potato fields, there would probably not have been a harvest.
"Yes!" Zhou Dafu nodded heavily.
Song Yuehua continued, "Please keep an eye on these people for me. After a month, see if there are any who are willing to stay and work as permanent workers."
"Leave 10 people, at least two women who are good at working, with a monthly salary of 400 coins, food and accommodation, and a one-year contract."
Zhou Dafu glanced at her, coughed lightly, and said, "Girl, what are you looking at? How about I do some work for you?"
The two were silent for a moment.
Song Yuehua burst out laughing, "Uncle Dafu, stop joking. If you go to work, who will take care of me?"
"Manager?" Zhou Dafu asked in surprise.
"That's right, Manager." Song Yuehua said.
"The wasteland here has just been opened up, and there is a lot of work to be done. It just so happens that these people are the ones you found and selected. I was thinking about how to invite you to come and take charge."
"Why bother inviting me?" Zhou Dafu smiled widely.
Although the relationship is good, one thing is for sure and the conditions and treatment still need to be made clear.
"Uncle Dafu, in two days, I will sign a contract with you. I will pay you one tael of silver a month. If the profit is good, I will raise your salary. What do you think?"
Zhou Dafu said excitedly, "No need to raise the wages, no need to raise them, the wages are already high enough."
Song Yuehua said seriously, "The steward has a lot of things to worry about, so you have to take care of it."
"Don't worry, Boss!"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Uncle Dafu will come to my house at the end of the month."
"Okay!"
After everyone left, Liu Xue said, "You offer a high salary. Anyone who can work here would feel like they have found a treasure."
"Don't worry, Manager Liu's monthly salary is not low." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Liu Xue immediately became interested, "Do you still want to pay me? How much?"
"Guess." Song Yuehua stretched and walked forward with a smile.
"Don't go, tell me!" Liu Xue chased after him.
Song's house at night.
Just after dinner, Granny Lan and Xiaoyu were cleaning up in the kitchen, while Xiaoyu was washing Dabao and Xiaobao.
Dabao was naughty and ran around on the kang. Xiaoyu slapped him on the butt and taught him a lesson, "Behave yourself."
Dabao screamed and was about to throw a tantrum, but Song Yuehua, who came in to get paper and pen, put a hand on his head, and he immediately became obedient.
After getting the things, Song Yuehua went to the dining hall to copy the deed.
Not long after, Zong Yi came over.
"The Ren family said you want to sign them as long-term workers?" Zong Yi asked.
Song Yuehua put down her pen and said slowly, "Choose two suitable ones and take them to work. Now that we have two cows, it will be easier to plow the vegetable field. Get it ready as soon as possible and plant the vegetables."
"There is one more thing. You should discuss with Uncle Dafu and compost more. Dig up rotten leaves from the mountains, collect some farmyard manure, rice straw, egg shells, and anything else. You know what to bring back and compost them together."
Thinking of something, Song Yuehua said again, "It's quite dangerous in the mountains. Remember to bring Master Duan with you when you arrange people. I will tell him about this. Do you have any other questions?"
Zong Yi paused and asked, "What does 'bringing people to work' mean?"
"I'll let you take care of them. I'll give the cotton field to Uncle Dafu, the breeding farm to Liu Xue, and the corn field to you." Song Yuehua said.
"You three will be paid according to the management salary, and I will re-sign the contract for you at the end of this month."
Zong Yi quickly stood up, bowed and thanked him, "Zong Yi will definitely not let the boss down."
Dongshan Courtyard.
"There are six people in our family, but you only want two. What does that mean?" Old Man Ren said angrily.
What made him most dissatisfied was that he was not among the two people recruited.
Regardless of whether he works or not, it's obvious that they look down on him!
Zong Yi said, "The cornfield is under my management. I only need two people. If you are not satisfied, you can go and ask Manager Zhou if he needs anyone."
Old Man Ren wanted to argue again, but Fu interrupted him, "Okay, two is two. You are still living in someone else's house. Don't think about getting more all the time."
Zong Yi chose Fu and Ren Dahai.
Fu knew clearly that the shameless old man Ren said that there were six people in the family, but he actually included four-year-old Ren Xiaomei.
Shu is a cunning person and Ren Xiaoxi is a 14-year-old girl, so she definitely can't do that.
As for Old Man Ren, he is so annoying with his big mouth all day long. The only ones left are her and Ren Dahai.
According to Zong Yi's meaning, she and Dahai will be under his care in the future. Fu smiled and said, "Ayi, that old man is just a rotten talker. Will Auntie and Dahai follow you to grow corn in the future?"
