The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 33 Total
At noon, Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa had dinner together as a family. At the dinner table, Fourth Grandpa explained things clearly.

"Which of you in the shop is willing to work? Your third grandfather, Brother Heping, and his wife have thought of our family in advance. If anyone is willing to endure hardships, you can ask. We have agreed in advance. Anyone can go. Don't make any trouble. Please give me a hand." Throw it outside, don't blame me for cutting you, if you want to work hard, work hard, unite as one, and don't be lazy."

"Dad, look what you said, we are not lazy people often. Xiu Niang is a good person, kind, kind, and smart. She is a solid foundation in our hearts."

"The best cook in our family is the second daughter-in-law. Let her go. Do you think it's okay to have two more boys in the family?"

"My lord, I have one conclusion. It's a wharf business. It can't be done without a stable person. Your second uncle can't go. There are a lot of things waiting for him in the village. So, boss, you go with us."

The fourth grandfather then said, "In the past, your eldest brother always suffered the loss and let you brothers, this time I am biasing him to win."

"Zhong, we have no objection."

"There is another one. Our yard is too small to accommodate many people. I want to build another yard so that my children and grandchildren can find wives. I have to pay [-]% of the money, and the remaining [-]% ​​is for you. Can you follow me?"

As a parent, Fourth Grandpa has his own considerations. Everyone in the family needs to eat.

"Okay, we are willing, all for the sake of this family."

The boss, second, and third all nodded in agreement.

"Since we all agree, it's settled. Tomorrow I'll go to your uncle's house to order a cart for your uncle. Then I'll go to Xiuniang and ask what kind of business is suitable for our family. Don't rush into each other. Let's start the shop together. , everyone can make living money.”

"Xiu Niang is the smartest and has the best ideas. She is right. Let's ask her."

"If there are not enough people at the back, let the third daughter-in-law go with her, and the rest will work at home. They have everything they need, and it's all in my heart. I can't do anything without money in my pocket. Don't whisper about me behind my back. It’s no use either.”

"hey-hey!"

The children laughed.

Grandpa took care of matters at Fourth Grandpa's house. Aunt Xu went to see the widowed sister-in-law of the Lin family in the afternoon and had a chat with the old lady of the Lin family.

I thought it would be difficult, but the old lady agreed immediately. There were only two brothers in his family. One son died, and the remaining brother-in-law was married. He also had no money and enough food to eat, but he was struggling to do anything. tight.

This situation is very common for farmers. They have land, food and vegetables to eat, but they just don’t have any living money. The food can’t be sold for that much money, and they still have to pay taxes.

The old lady asked the two daughters-in-law to work together. The Lin family had no disputes and was quite harmonious.

Sister-in-law Lin was very happy and kept thanking her.

Second Aunt Xu said: "Next year, I'll pay the rent as soon as I make money. I'll give you half the rent for each room. I haven't decided on the specific amount yet. I'll ask Xiuniang. Let's do it first."

"Okay, I listen to you, and I will definitely do it well."

No matter what they say, there is nothing they dare not do as long as they contribute their own efforts.

The conditions of the Lin family are more difficult. The Li family agrees to provide things. They only need to provide people with skills. The rent will be paid next year, and it will not be paid this year. The fourth grandfather's house will also start counting rent from next year. When it opens this winter, it will not be counted as a gift. We all have time to wait and see and consider whether we have done well or not, and we are allowed to regret it.

The Lin family said that to make breakfast, you can get up early. They are good at making pasta-based breakfast in the morning, so they settled on it.

The fourth grandfather has many sons in his family, so he said that he would work in the night market together, help sell wine, and the waiter could also help.

There is always a night market at the pier. Trackers and workers work day and night to find work. Ships also dock at night. They are paid twice as much at night, which is very hard work. Strong laborers work exclusively at night and go home to sleep for a few hours to eat. Here we go again, all because we have no choice but to make a living for our families.The night market can be lively all night long. The fourth grandfather’s family chose the night market to make more money. He has many children and grandchildren, but little land and little work. A few people at home are enough. They can free up their hands to earn some living money and marry their children and grandchildren. Build a house.

If the old man does not divide the family, he will be rejected by others unless the old man presides over the family separation.

Generally, it is a family that works together to overcome difficulties, which is very powerful, especially the clan has always been like this. Even if it is a little careful, the flaws cannot be concealed.

Two days later, Fourth Grandpa took his son and two daughters-in-law from the Lin family, followed Uncle Li Erxiu Niang and others, and a group of people went to the shop they bought to measure the dimensions so that they could build a stove for cooking. The cart also needs to be built, and Uncle Li's family will pay for it. If the Lin family doesn't want to do it, they will find someone else to do it.

It was also the first time for Xiu Niang to come to this shop. She walked around and nodded happily.

"The place is well chosen, conspicuous and spacious. Grandpa, we can do a lot of things."

"It's not bad, look at it, Fourth Brother."

"Well, we need to set up a counter to put the wine, and set up a small counter in the room over there to settle the accounts. These two rooms are long, and there must be people looking after both ends. One person can't see it. There can't be only one assistant. Brother Kang is not enough. "

"to make."

"Then there must be two stoves, so that there is no crowding and the food can be served quickly. The ladies make noodles along with cold dishes and side dishes, while the men drink and prepare hot dishes. The division of labor and cooperation must be reasonable."

Grandpa Si quickly gave us very good advice.

"Fourth Grandpa, where can I park my car early?"

"Put it in the middle of the two houses. Hang a sign on the corner so you can see it. Just push it back into the house at night."

"Okay, we also need these tables, chairs and benches, they are all broken."

Xiu Niang glanced with disgust.

"Don't throw it away. Take it all back and dismantle it. Assemble the usable ones and make them into cabinets. The wood is good wood. But if things are broken, can they be dismantled? It's better to save some."

Fourth Grandpa went to the backyard again, and the two old men put forward some suggestions. They also needed to build two warehouses to store wine and vegetables and seasonings. They needed shelves to store things and not put them on the ground to get damp.

"This shop has to have someone on duty at night. If you sleep here, you can't leave it, for fear of someone stealing things. And in the morning, someone has to clean the house and make breakfast."

"Row."

I already know roughly what I need, and the shop still needs to be renovated. These jobs are not difficult. Grandpa's eldest grandson is a carpenter, so he can do it and give a suitable price.

After returning to the village, I went to see the uncle. When I told him, I immediately agreed. I will go have a look tomorrow, pull out the old tables and chairs and come back, dismantle the cabinets again.

There are also ready-made tables and chairs in the carpenter's shop. You don't have to wait too long. Just measure the size of a cabinet and it can be made in a month. Basically, the height and size of the shop are about the same. There are ready-made products in the carpenter's shop to choose from. If you need something urgently, add some. You can get the money.

They bought some meat from the city and planned to cook and started to order the menu.

Fourth Grandpa and the others went to think about drinks, including cheap, high-end and delicious wines.

Everyone started to get busy. Xiu Niang started to paint while helping with the menu. She made a large tapestry painting for a new banner. She planned to take it to the capital next year for her brother-in-law and give it to her eldest brother, so that he would have something to give as a gift. It might be useful for his career. helpful.
