The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 28 028 Neighbors
Zhang Jinwang moved quickly, looking for Lao Liang and several brothers from the Hong family in the village.

Soon we gathered three NO.40 people.

The people here are very happy. Now in May and June, the work in the fields is almost busy, and there is nothing to do in the fields.

If you want to find a job in the town and county, you have to put in a lot of effort, but you may not be able to earn much money.So everyone is very happy, and they are eager to sign up.

Zhang Jinwang went through the screening in the village, and went to some people who are usually quick and easy, and who are relatively close to him. Of course, he may be able to find some strong people who have a general relationship with him. Build a house, build a team that has always been good.

Started work the next day.

Wen and the village chief bought a lot of corn cobs and flour at home, and went to the town to buy a lot of big bones and fat meat, and also bought oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and they were ready to cook for the workers when they came back.

Because the amount of food they cook is relatively large, the Hongshi family is also eccentric, and the selected homestead is a bit far away.

But the meals for the 20 people were really troublesome in the past, so Zuo Shi suggested that Wen’s make meals at the family very close to our base, and deliver them to the workers.

The old man also thought so. They also wanted to cook for the workers. The two families agreed that the meals for the [-] workers would be cooked together, and the money would be paid together.

The neighbor's surname is Zhou, the head of the family is Zhou Dazhuang, and the daughter-in-law is Tian. The two have three sons and one daughter.

After two years of separation, the family has only two acres of thin fields, but it is very diligent. There are seven or eight acres of land to reclaim wasteland.

It is said that it is barely enough to eat, but in fact, there is still a long way to go.

Half the size, eat Laozi, all the three sons of the Zhou family can eat it.

They are almost at the age of marriage, but because of the poverty of the family, they can't even eat, and tell others that they can marry a daughter-in-law.

So when Zuo Shi proposed to use their pots and firewood, and give ten cents a day, Tian shi immediately agreed.

He also asked the eldest Zhou of his family to follow Wen's to the village chief's house to carry food.

Mrs. Tian also helped Wen Mrs. to set the fire very enthusiastically: "The eldest sister will be our neighbor in the future. With such a big house, life will get better and better in the future."

"The big girl looks so good-looking and cooks good food."

"The big sister's children are also good-looking."

Tian Shi is a very sincere person. Compliments are from the sincerity. Although there are some exaggerations, they are not offensive. Instead, they feel that there is a kind of sincerity in them, which is more powerful. Zuo Shi thinks she It's a good piece of business material.

It's a pity that Tian's business has not been done before, and Zuo Shi can't verify whether his ideas are correct.

In the open space next door, a group of men were sweating profusely on the foundation.

When they came in the morning, they ate a meal of steamed buns and porridge. They had a large amount of food, so they worked very hard. At this time, they could find work and a bunch of people to talk to. Everyone was very happy.

Not to mention eating a meal of pork ribs stewed with radish and fragrant rice at noon, then the strength is even more good.

The scorching sun seemed to be on fire, the blue sun shone on people, and the sweat of the men flowed faster and more.

Because of the weather, the men kept drinking water, stopped to rest, and took a breath to dry.

It's not that they want to be lazy, it's just that the weather is too big.

When Zuo Shi saw it, he ran to Wen's side and said to her, "Mother, why don't we cook them some mung bean soup or mint soup and send them over. We should be worried if they suffer from heat stroke in such a big weather."

Wen's expression froze: "Okay, I'll cook a bowl of mung bean soup now, and ask Mr. Qu to bring some mints tomorrow to cook some mints."

Not to mention that these workers can't stand heat stroke when working in the sun, they need to take responsibility as employers.

It is said that they want to keep these workers strong, work for a long time, and quickly build the house and live in it, and the Wen family doesn't want anyone to have an accident.

So when I went back, I started to burn the fire, put the water in first, and then poured the mung beans. After thinking about it, I lost a handful of glutinous rice.

After more than an hour, the thick mung bean soup is ready.

Zuo Shi poured the mung bean soup into two buckets, put the buckets in two large basins, and added some cold water to the big basins.

After a while, Mrs. Wen called Mr. Qu to help and brought it to the construction site.

When Mr. Tian saw him, he also helped to bring another pot and help the caregiver to drink mung bean soup.

It's summer, sweating profusely, and everyone's mouth is thirsty and can't stand it.

After drinking a bowl of thick green bean soup to relieve the heat, everyone felt relaxed and happy.

"This mung bean soup is well boiled, sweet and thick, and it can relieve the heat when you drink it. It's no worse than the millet porridge we drank in the morning!"

"The people of the Qu family and Zuo family are good. I have worked for people for so long. No family has ever treated the workers so well. We have to work hard and not let down their wages and food."

"That is, if anyone fails to work hard, we see it and kill him."

"Yeah, life is not easy. So many people have no way to get in. If they don't work hard when they come in, that's not a thing."

……

The workers discussed, and the movements under their hands became faster.

Although building a house is a hard work, and the sun is indeed shining, people in the countryside are not tired when they work.

Especially in spring and autumn, don't we all work under the sun under the scorching sun?At that time, there was no such good food, no wages, and no work.

Because Zuo's family and Qu's family cook very well, they also have mint soup and mung bean soup every day to help relieve the heat.

The construction period of the workers was not delayed. Except for a few days of rain in the middle of the way, the work stopped, and the other days went to work on time.

Everyone thought about their strength and kept doing it from morning to night.

When they came to the construction site, they were all speechless: "This project is so fast, it looks like it will be completed in a few days, and I just want to build tiles."

"Yes, yes, the houses of Zuo's family and Qu's family are very beautiful. They look like large tile houses. The two families are quite rich. I heard that they came from the famine. I didn't expect them to be so rich ."

"It's just because they came to the sweets that they can find work. You said that these big gentlemen put in their efforts, and it's okay to work hard. Tian Shi even gave ten cents a day to help with a kitchen."

"No, I said that Widow Zhao is also true. If he knew that the Zuo family was so rich, he should have been nicer to others. She rented an apartment for only [-] yuan a month. arts."

"It will take more than a month to build this house, but she is very stingy when she arrives. I don't dare to use it. People are not allowed to use her firewood. The firewood for a month can cost 300 yuan? This is not to pick up sesame seeds and lose them. watermelon."
