the next day.
Ren Xiaoxi went out excitedly in the morning and came back with red eyes in the evening.
Today, Zong Yi arranged for her to carry manure, and then pour it on the ground. It was so smelly that she couldn't even eat the bread she had for lunch.
In the afternoon, she was asked to hoe the fields again, and if she did not hoe well, she would be scolded.
I had four blisters on my hands throughout the afternoon. When I came back I was dirty, smelly and tired. I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Mother, do you think he did it on purpose?" Ren Xiaoxi cried while hugging Fu.
It’s hard for Fu to say, isn’t that what work is all about?
But Xiaoxi is a girl after all, and Zongyi has no sympathy for her. How can this marriage be successful? Fu was uneasy.
At the end of February, Song family.
Zhou Dafu, Zong Yi, Ren Dahai, and Fu are all in the Song family.
Song Yuehua took out four deeds, handed them to four people, and asked Zhou Dafu to read them one by one.
When Fu heard 400 wen a month, she almost laughed out loud. But when she heard that Zong Yi's monthly salary was 1 tael of silver, she made up her mind to marry into the Zong family.
Zong Yi took Ren Dahai and Fu to the headman's house to deliver the deed.
Song Yuehua took out 5 taels of silver and gave it to Zhou Dafu, "Bring back some more fertilizer, and you have to spend the money when it's time."
Liu Xue stood at the door of the house. When she saw Zong Yi and his men coming over, she called out, "Manager Zong, the boss wants you to come over."
"Thank you!" Zong Yi bowed.
Fu looked at the two men's backs as they entered and said, "Did you hear that? From now on, we will also call him Sect Steward."
Ren Dahai said, "Okay."
Song Yuehua pointed out a string of copper coins to Zong Yi and said, "The wages for February will still be based on the previous contract. The total for your family of three is 600 coins."
Zong Yi nodded and said, "600 wen, that's right."
Liu Xue handed over a book and said, "Press your fingerprint here."
After pressing his fingerprints and receiving the silver, Zong Yi left the Song family. The moon on his way home was exceptionally bright.
Song Yuehua was still being teased by Liu Xue, "I've only seen people who receive money happy, but I've never seen people who give money happy."
"You don't understand," Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Liu Xue said speechlessly, "Okay, I don't understand."
Song Yuehua took out a deed and handed it to her, saying, "Sign it. Once you sign it, you will be Manager Liu."
Finally it's my turn.
Liu Xue quickly took it and looked at it for a long time before asking, "One tael of silver?"
Seeing that Song Yuehua was smiling and silent, Liu Xue showed the contract to Xiaoyu. After listening to Xiaoyu read it, she smiled and said, "Master is so kind to me!"
"Tomorrow, go to the Hu family and learn how to choose pigs first, and then learn how to raise pigs." Song Yuehua said, "In ten days or so, when the compound and the pig farm are completed, you can buy piglets and chickens, and then you can live in the compound."
"Just me?" Liu Xue asked.
"The little book will naturally go with you," said Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua added, "Uncle Dafu and Zongyi both have people under them. I will assign Granny Lan to you. She and Xiaoyu will also live in the compound. There is also Zhu Yanli. There are too many people at the end of the village, and she doesn't dare to go out. Let her live in the compound as well."
Liu Xue smiled and said, "I was a little reluctant to leave you, but now I don't miss you at all."
Song Yuehua raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I know."
The next day, Liu Xue brought Grandma Lan to sign the deed together. Now the compound has not been built yet, and there is no work for her to do on the mountain for the time being.
When he learned that Liu Xue was going to learn how to feed pigs, he asked if he could take her with him.
Liu Xue was so happy now. If Grandma Lan was here, she wouldn't be so afraid of Hu Jinshui.
"Now you feel the joy of being a manager," Song Yuehua said with a smile.
"That's right," Liu Xue said immediately, "I think being the boss must be very happy."
Song Yuehua leaned back, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "That's right!"
After the deed issue was settled, Master Yi and Master Duan came over again.
Song Yuehua thought something had happened in the school and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
It turned out that the kiln in the county was recruiting apprentices recently. Erguotou's father Jia Fugui and Zhou Zheng's family from Class C all wanted their children to learn a skill to make a living.
"What did Erguotou say himself?" Song Yuehua asked.
Duan Yidao said with some embarrassment, "This is what his father told me privately. From what he said, Erguotou himself had no intention of going to the kiln. It was Jia Fugui who decided it himself."
That is, the father and son have a disagreement. He is 19 years old now and can make his own decision.
Song Yuehua said, "Let Erguotou solve his family affairs himself, and the school will not interfere."
Duan Yidao didn't quite understand, "If he comes, I will..."
"This year's firewood has been delivered, and the work has been done. We have collected the tuition and should continue to teach." Song Yuehua said.
Duan Yidao understood and everything remained the same.
Master Yi sighed, "Zhou Zheng's performance is pretty good. He's only 11 years old this year. I guess his family doesn't expect him to be a good student..."
It is normal for men here to be engaged at the age of 14. It is understandable that they want to learn a skill to make a living before that. If they can recognize a few words, they will have an advantage in finding a job.
Song Yuehua asked Master Yi, "Master, have you ever talked to Zhou Zheng?"
Master Yi shook his head and said, "The two families came after school today. I will ask them tomorrow."
Song Yuehua nodded.
No matter what the reason is, if the student wants to leave, the teacher should talk to him/her.
The next day, out of curiosity, Song Yuehua walked to the door of the study and was about to knock when she heard crying from inside.
Master Yi was shocked.
I don’t know if it’s because Zhou Zheng is older, but he has always been a more stable type.
