The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 216 Part-time Worker ([-])

The medicinal materials in front of the Su Family Courtyard had already been harvested before Su Yunduo returned from Fucheng. The terraced fields cover a relatively large area, and there are relatively many types of medicinal materials planted. Most of the medicinal materials are harvested from August to October. Harvesting periods are different. Compared with the autumn harvesting time of farmers, it is much longer, which brings some convenience to laborers.

In the field in front of Su Yunduo's house, Su Yunduo was not at home when the harvest happened, so it happened to collide with the autumn harvest in Geshan Village.

Su Yunduo didn't consider this before going to Fucheng. She only wanted to bring some extra income to the folks in Geshan Village, so after discussing with the old doctor, she decided to find someone to harvest medicinal materials in Geshan Village. When the medicinal materials in the field need to be harvested, it happens to be the busy autumn harvest season in Geshan Village.

Although Geshan Village has many mountains and little land, and there are not many fertile fields that can grow rice, every household still has a few acres of hillside land. In mid-August, the rice, corn, cotton, tobacco leaves, and sesame seeds in the fields are ripening one after another and waiting to be harvested. season.

In this way, the harvest of medicinal materials coincides with the autumn harvest of the villagers.

Although Ning Zhongping and the old doctor have never planted land, they also know that the harvest time of the grain and cash crops in the land does not wait for anyone, and they have to take advantage of the fine weather to take it home to dry or put it in storage or pay taxes. Then you can feel at ease.

However, there are also seasons for harvesting medicinal materials, and they need to be dried and brewed, otherwise the properties of the medicinal materials will be damaged, so there is no waiting for anyone.

Fortunately, the land in front of the hospital was not big, and Ning Zhongping called some friends from Heishui Town to help, and finally the medicinal materials did not pass the best harvesting period.

The climate in Yanshan Mansion, there is not much rain in autumn, and the medicinal materials harvested under the sun are fully dried. Under the strong guidance of the old doctor and his disciples and grandchildren, all the medicinal materials that have been dried are packed and sent by Ning Zhongping. To the border town.

When Su Yunduo came back from Fucheng, even the income from medicinal materials had entered the house.

The medicinal materials grown in the back mountain terraces are more than a month later than the medicinal materials in front of the hospital, and now they can be harvested one after another. It just so happens that the autumn harvest in Geshan Village has basically been completed, and every family has leisure labor.

The work of harvesting medicinal materials is not tiring, as long as you work quickly and according to the requirements, it is not difficult. In addition, the wages offered by the old doctor are not low, so those friends of Ning Zhongping who have harvesting experience once , had already made an appointment with Ning Zhongping to wait for the other medicinal materials to mature before coming over to do part-time work.

The folks in Geshan Village naturally hoped that the Su family would only use people from Geshan Village. Some even expressed dissatisfaction with Ning Zhongping for inviting outsiders to help. Although no one came to Su Yunduo to speak, it still reached Su Yunduo's ears. .

This made Su Yunduo very unhappy, but I also reminded her of one thing, that is, if she really only uses the folks in Geshan Village, all kinds of disadvantages are likely to occur. Why not take this opportunity to break the natural thinking of some people in Geshan Village.

Of course, Su Yunduo didn't want to cause any rift with the folks in Geshan Village because of this. It's best to leave this matter to the village chief Liu Donglin.

Before negotiating with Liu Donglin, Su Yunduo specially discussed with the old doctor and Ning Zhongping.

Since it is more beneficial for the Su family to use his own friends than only people from Geshan Village, Ning Zhongping naturally cannot object.

Not to mention the old doctor, he didn't want to spend too much time on these matters, since it was proposed by Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping agreed, he naturally agreed happily.

At the beginning of planting medicinal materials, Su Yunduo once joked with Liu Donglin that he would hire folks from Geshan Village to help harvest them.

Before the autumn harvest, outsiders were invited to harvest, which was of course a last resort. Now that the folks in the village are free, and there is a verbal agreement with Liu Donglin about the short-term labor, no matter whether there is any change, they should communicate with Liu Donglin.

Ning Zhongping was worried that Liu Donglin's dissatisfaction would give Su Yunduo a cold face, so he accompanied Su Yunduo to Liu's house.

When Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping came to Liu’s house, Liu’s family was having dinner, and the whole family was happily sitting in the room listening to Liu Yushu’s interesting stories about Xiu Mu’s homecoming. Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Yushu stood up and was about to go Opening the door, Wei Shi pushed Liu Peijiang, the eldest grandson who was leaning in her arms: "You are so lazy, why don't you open the door quickly?!"

Liu Peijiang grinned, opened the door ahead of Liu Yushu, saw that it was Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping, turned around and shouted to the main room: "Master, Sister Yunduo and Uncle Heping are here."

"You have no memory! How many times have I told you that I should be called aunt and uncle!" Jiang Shi heard the sound, grabbed Liu Peijiang's ear and scolded.

Although his own mother grabbed his ears, Liu Peijiang still retorted dissatisfiedly: "I am as old as Zexuan, so why should I call him uncle? Besides, sister Yun Duo is only a few years older than me, so call him aunt? Don't be afraid to call her old!"

Su Yunduo covered her mouth and laughed, Jiang spat at her son dumbfounded and said: "You bad boy, I'll take care of you!".

As he said, he raised his hand and gestured to slap Liu Peijiang.

How could Su Yunduo let Jiang's slap really fall on Liu Peijiang's head, and he smiled and pulled Liu Peijiang to his side: "Our generation in the countryside is called indiscriminately, Brother Jiang can call him whatever he wants, after all Know that he is calling me!"

Even though Su Yunduo said so, Jiang still glared at Liu Peijiang fiercely, and then let Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping into the main room.

"Brother Yushu is at home today." Su Yunduo stepped into the main room and met Liu Yushu's bright eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"I'll take a shower tomorrow, and I won't be home until late. Isn't this just telling us something interesting about the school after dinner?" Wei looked at Liu Yushu fondly, while instructing his daughter-in-law to give up his seat to Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping Said while serving tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Donglin asked the family members to go back to their rooms. Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping are not the kind of people who like to visit when they have nothing to do, so they must have something to discuss with him here.

"It's like this, the medicinal materials in the terraced fields behind my house can be harvested one after another, so I came to ask my uncle if anyone in our village is willing to go to my house to help harvest medicinal materials.

Every day from the first moment of Chenshi to the end of Shenshi, at noon and that hour, they would go home to have a meal and rest, and each person would be paid [-] Wen per day. "When the Liu family members in the house were all dispersed, Su Yunduo directly told Liu Donglin the purpose of their visit.

In the past few days, people have come to ask Liu Donglin almost every day, and he has already made plans in his heart. He will hear Su Yunduo slowly say that the wages are slightly higher than his plans. This should be the intention of the Su family. The folks in the village, this made him very satisfied.

Since the Su family is benevolent, he has to think about it carefully, not everyone can harvest medicinal materials in a nest, so he is looking for those who are quick in hands and feet, quick in work, and don't like to play tricks and dodge.
