Da Song a knife

Chapter 393 Open mind
When Mrs. Gu heard Zhang Sijiu's words, she turned her head in surprise.

Then he looked at Mrs. Xu, and couldn't help but said: "People say that your Jiuniang is smart and has a lively mind. I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true. This idea is good. Even if there are few live picks, anyway If we are idle, we are idle, and if someone tells us to go, don’t we make money?”

Zhang Sijiu smiled embarrassedly after being praised: Isn't this a conventional way of thinking?Where is the smartness?

Mrs. Xu was different. She smiled more happily than praised her, and said repeatedly: "Where is that? Our Jiu Niang is just an ordinary child, but he is always studying medicine in the city, so he is a little bit bolder. Smart is not enough. However, sometimes, what she says is like a little adult, and she can listen to it. We listen to what she says, and we just listen to it for a laugh."

The words were spoken so modestly by Xu Shi, but her tone and expression were so proud.

Aunt Gu couldn't help laughing when she saw it, she turned her head and said to Zhang Sijiu, "Your second aunt is a good aunt. You should respect her more in the future."

Looking at this posture, how does she look like an aunt?It's like a mother-in-law!
Zhang Sijiu nodded again and again: "That must! I will take care of my second aunt in the future! Take my second aunt with me wherever I go!"

Komatsu and Xiaobai, if you marry a daughter-in-law, you can separate and live alone.To avoid any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Xu both laughed hard.

In the end, Mrs. Gu also promised Zhang Sijiu: "If I can really continue to work, my aunt will buy you candy."

Zhang Sijiu stretched out four fingers: "Then Auntie, don't forget, we have four children in our family, we are not allowed to buy just one piece."

The childish words immediately made Mrs. Gu laugh out loud.

Her energetic laughter caused all the workers in the field to straighten up and look over.

Zhang Sijiu smiled: Well, you can definitely eat candy.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the edge of Zhang's field.Just by looking at Xu's expression, one can tell that she is very satisfied with the work Mrs. Gu and the others have done——

Even Zhang Sijiu, who didn't understand anything, was satisfied: the rows of seedlings are so neat!It is as neat as if measured with a ruler, and the horizontal and vertical intervals are the same!No matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye!

Several women who came to work with Mrs. Gu are now sitting under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool air. When they saw Mrs. Xu coming, they all stood up one after another, looking a little reserved.

It's not surprising when you think about it. It's the first time they take this kind of work, and they pay a lot of money. One person can share seventy or eighty yuan, which is not worse than what a strong laborer can earn in a day. Of course, they care very much, and they are afraid that the employer will If you are not satisfied, you will not be paid at that time.

Mrs. Xu quickly completed the acceptance inspection, smiled and praised Mrs. Gu and the others.Without hesitation, he took the money out of the bag directly.

This means that there is a lot of money that counts as ten, otherwise it is all small money one by one. Xu has more than 500 in his pocket, and his pockets are broken?
If so, when Mrs. Xu took it out, it was also a heavy bunch.

When it was handed over to Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu couldn't keep her mouth shut.

And the other women don't even look at other places, just look at this side.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Sijiu suddenly felt sad: Although the status of women in the Song Dynasty was not low, most women had no way to earn money in their lifetime, and they never felt confident about spending the money they earned.

It would be great if there were more employment opportunities for women.

Women who can earn money, whether they have good family status or social status, can always be higher.

Even if it is only a little bit, it can make more women live happier lives, right?

After Mrs. Gu received the money, she was not polite, and immediately called all the women to come and share the money.

In an instant, everyone's faces were full of joyful expressions.

This kind of emotion can easily infect the people next to him.

After distributing the money, Mrs. Gu thanked Mrs. Xu again, and then led the people away.

Zhang Sijiu and Xu also went home.

Looking at those seedlings, Zhang Sijiu sighed sincerely: "Second Aunt, this work is indeed physical work. I saw that they couldn't straighten their backs when they walked several times."

"When it comes to busy farming, how many people do you think can straighten their waists?" Xu smiled, but she was used to it: "Look at your grandma, she is old, why is she a little hunched? The waist farmer is busy doing it? From sowing seeds, digging, transplanting rice seedlings, and harvesting millet, which one do you think has to bend over and look at the fields?"

Zhang Sijiu was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "So, Second Aunt, let's work hard and stop farming."

Being a farmer is hard work.

Life is too poor.

Xu was happy: "Then how can you not farm the land if you don't want to? If you don't farm the land, you can eat and drink? Although Xiaosong is studying now, if it is not for the material, he will not be able to earn money outside in the future." Money, don’t you want to come back to farm?”

"Xiaobai is the same. For us, we have land in our hands, and we have multiple retreats. At least we don't have to worry about starving to death." Mrs. Xu glanced at the field in the distance: "If there is a chance, we still have to buy land."

Zhang Sijiu saw a kind of persistence in Xu's eyes.Farmers' obsession with the land.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why many people in modern times have the mentality to grow vegetables in their gardens when they have money to buy villas.

Only after suffering from hunger and poverty can we deeply understand what kind of guarantee the land has for human survival.

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Then buy it!"

Buying land is not something that happens overnight.You have to find the right one.

Xu doesn't want to buy the ones that are far away, and most of them won't easily sell those that are near.

Among other things, the house that Mrs. Xu wanted has not been settled yet.

The fact that Zhang's family hired people to plant rice seedlings caused quite a stir in the village.

Some people lamented that the Zhang family is really developed and rich, and they don't even have to do the work in the fields themselves. Maybe they will be able to hire long-term workers in two years.

Some people also lamented that the population of the Zhang family was withered, and now even the work in the fields has to be hired to do it, so it shows the importance of a prosperous family.

There are also some people who blame the Zhang family. They feel that the Zhang family needs help when encountering difficulties, but they didn't find themselves.

The Li family belongs to the latter category.

When the aunt of the Li family sent the little pumpkin back, she complained a bit to Xu, "It's enough to say something if you don't have enough manpower. My family is short? Why do you have to spend this unreasonable money?"

Mrs. Xu cheerfully took the little pumpkin that was reaching out for a hug, "Come on, your family is busy too. When will you kill that pig? I'll order some meat first. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and the children in the family are hungry. The meat at the meat stand is still not tasty."

After eating the fat meat, what Mrs. Xu was thinking about was castrated pork, and she even looked down on the ordinary meat on those meat stalls.

The little aunt of the Li family quietly lowered her voice: "It's decided, try to kill one in five days. Which one do you want? I'll leave it for you in advance!"

　Today is the second day of junior high school, and there are still crackling fireworks everywhere, so lively.However, whether you set off fireworks or set off cannons, be careful.See you tomorrow~
