The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 251

In addition to bringing back tomato and pepper seeds, Su Yunduo also brought back the seeds of other vegetables and flowers, including rose and tulip seeds.

The seeds of these vegetables and flowers are limited. After discussing with the old doctor, Su Yunduo decided to plant all these vegetables and flowers in the valley of the old doctor.

The weather at the beginning of February was still relatively cold, and the ground had just shown signs of thawing. Although the temperature in the valley was warmer than outside, it was not as good as spring in the Valley of the Divine Doctor. Therefore, Su Yunduo was not in a hurry to plant seeds, but in the valley. Grow seedlings at home first.

Both Su Yunduo's house and Shenquan Villa have heated kangs, and the old doctor gave Su Yunduo the iron head and Tongshan again, and asked them to be responsible for raising seedlings.

Raising seedlings with a kang is enough to light a fire every half an hour, but running up and down the mountain and going back and forth, even at night, is a very hard job. Fortunately, Tietou and Tongshan are very responsible people. , two people divide the labor and cooperate, not only do this job well, but also don't delay other things.

Waiting for the matter of raising seedlings of vegetables and flowers to be handled, the Awakening of Insects solar term has also arrived.

This year's weather is fairly normal, and the earth will gradually return to spring after the Awakening of Insects. After discussing with Ning Zhongping and the old doctor, Su Yunduo decided to start construction at the same time on the eighth day of February on the newly purchased barren hill and the original medicinal plant.

That day, Ning Zhongping's big friends gathered in Geshan Village early in the morning. A small number of these people had come to work as part-time workers last year. But it was the first time to come to Geshan Village to help.

It was not yet the busiest time for spring plowing in Geshan Village. Only a few people were busy working in their own fields. Most people saw the Su family start construction, or went to Liu Donglin's house to inquire about short-term labor. Naturally, some people went to Su Yunduo directly.

This day, Su Yunduo had no time to gossip with others, and spent almost the whole day on the construction site.

Looking at the chaotic and noisy construction site, Su Yunduo felt that his head was about to explode, and it was absolutely impossible to go on like this.

Su Yunduo stood halfway up the mountain and watched quietly for about a quarter of an hour, and finally saw the crux of the matter, and quickly found Ning Zhongping who was struggling to direct, feeling both amused and distressed.

After only more than an hour since the start of work, Ning Zhongping almost became hoarse. If this continues, will he be exhausted to death? !
Su Yunduo took a bowl of warm tea from Zisu and handed it to Ning Zhongping, and after he finished drinking, he said: "Uncle, you are hoarse from shouting, and everyone is still messing around without a clue, so Absolutely not, we have to redeploy people."

Ning Zhongping glanced at the messy construction site and felt that Su Yunduo's words made sense, but for a while, he felt at a loss for the redeployment of manpower, so he frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you think about redeployment?"

"Use the old to bring the new, let those experienced people bring one or two newbies, this is the case on both sides of the barren mountain and the other side of the medicinal material field." Su Yunduo pointed to the barren mountain and then to the medicinal material field not far away, While making gestures, he said.

After hearing Su Yunduo's words, Ning Zhongping's eyes lit up, and he patted the back of his head in frustration. How could he not think of such a simple thing?
Just now he only thought that reclaiming and renovating the barren hills is a laborious task, so he sent those who are strong to the barren hills, but he forgot that both of these things require certain skills, and it does not depend entirely on strength.

Ning Zhongping quickly re-deployed the manpower, and this deployment really played a big role, and the construction sites on both sides quickly became orderly.

It's not that no folks in the village were invited to do part-time jobs today. At least the Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were invited by Su Yunduo to resume their old jobs and continue to cook for these part-time workers.

The group of people invited today are not from Geshan Village. Most of them are from Heishui Town and the county seat, and only a few are from Linxi Town and surrounding villages. In order to save time, the Su family will provide a lunch.

Su Yunduo didn't have time to stay in the kitchen, Ning and Zisu alone would never be able to cook meals for so many people, and the cooks of Shenquan Villa had their own affairs, so it was impossible for Su Yunduo to come down the mountain to help cook, so Su Yunduo The Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were invited early.

As for the folks in the village wanting to work part-time for the Su family, Su Yunduo naturally communicated with Liu Donglin.

Su Yunduo told Liu Donglin the number of short-term workers he needed every day, and it was entirely up to Liu Donglin who was appointed to do the short-term work.

The two groups of people go to work at different hours, but the daily working hours are the same.

The part-time workers in Geshan Village do not include lunch, so the wages of the two groups of part-time workers are different.

The reason why the day laborers from Geshan Village are not used today is only to straighten out these foreign day laborers first.

But this caused dissatisfaction among some folks in Geshan Village, and some even pointed the finger at Zhang Shengbao's family, thinking that it was the sequelae caused by Zhang's mother-in-law making trouble in front of Su's house a few days ago.

What made the folks in Geshan Village panic even more was that Ning Zhongping and Tietou, who had been promoted to be the housekeeper of Shenquan Villa, brought back more than a dozen prostituted house slaves from other places, including men and women, old and young.

This is completely inconsistent with the rumors released by the Su family and Shenquan Villa a few years ago.

Years ago, even when Su Yunduo and Liu Donglin discussed the barren mountain business, they revealed that they planned to find a few long-term workers in the village to manage the fields of medicinal materials. Now they have bought more than ten domestic slaves. Will there be any need for long-term workers?

So Liu Donglin's house was extremely lively that day, but Mrs. Wei took his two daughters-in-law to the Su's house early in the morning to help, causing countless sour words, which made Liu Donglin angry, annoyed and helpless.

If Su Yunduo didn't do it on purpose, Liu Donglin would not believe it.

However, whether it is a long-term worker or a short-term worker, it was all verbal talk before, and there was no contract signed, so how did it count?
However, Liu Donglin vaguely felt that Su Yunduo would still employ a few long-term workers, but the number would be less than originally estimated.

When negotiating to buy land, Liu Donglin once said some good things for Zhang Shengbao's family, hoping that Su Yunduo would give priority to Zhang's family when employing people. At that time, Su Yunduo readily agreed, but now it may be difficult.

Thinking of Zhang Shengbao's house, Liu Donglin felt a pain in his heart.

He was thinking about how to keep the Zhang family alive, but in the end he was slapped in the face. Just after he sold the barren hills to the Su family in the village, Zhang Shengbao went to the county government to buy the few acres of the old Su family that had never been sold. sand.

Although there is not much land and it is not fertile land, it takes ten taels of silver to buy it. It can be seen that Zhang Shengbao's family has saved some silver over the past ten years, and they are not as poor as they appear.

As soon as this incident happened, the Zhang family naturally had to be pointed out by others. As the village head, Liu Donglin was naturally poked in his heart with this incident half-jokingly. Who made him spare no effort to plan for the Zhang family, but in the end Being manipulated by the Zhang family?

Liu Donglin can only endure, otherwise what can he do? !

The Zhang family also has a bit of self-knowledge, knowing that this time not only offended the Su family but also offended Liu Donglin, but behaved like a man with their tails between their legs. The whole family worked hard in the newly bought field, and their earnestness was almost as serious as that of a woman who embroidered flowers. .
