Chapter 53 Asking for work
Thinking like this, Li Xiao spoke: "Dad, Mom, can we try to hire someone to do the work in the fields behind our family?"

"Look, my mother has lost weight in less than a month, and she has gained so much muscle with so much effort!"

"And daddy, my hair has turned white from exhaustion during this period!" As he said this, he patted Li Dashan's head and pulled out three white hairs!The pain made him grin.

Li Dashan: ...My daughter is so cruel!

"But, how can anyone hire people to work in the village?" Li Dashan said.

We are all farmers, so why don’t we do all the work on our own acres of land ourselves? Who would be willing to pay someone to do it?Isn’t this a waste of money?

When Li Xiao heard what his father said, he sighed helplessly like an adult: "Dad, why does our family make money?"

"To live a better life!" Li Dashan blurted out.

"Then how much money does our family make now?" Li Xiao asked again.

"Uh, six... no, more than 7000?" Li Dashan didn't care about the money, he only remembered it roughly.

"But, after making so much money, are my parents, brothers, and Xiaoxiao even busier and tired?"

There is no way that it is not tiring to make money, but now in order to convince his father, Li Xiao is "accusing" that his family is getting tired of making money, which can be regarded as a trick.

When Li Dashan heard this, he looked at his wife and then his daughter. He had become darker and thinner, and his daughter's chubby little face was gone...

Li Xiao will not tell her father that part of the reason why she has lost her body is because she has grown taller!
Seeing that his father was a little shaken, Li Xiao continued: "Besides, the eldest brother and the second brother are in school. If there are scientific examinations in the future, then you have to spend more time on books!"

"You can't forget to work in the fields, but you can't miss your classes just because of the work in the fields!"

"It's time for Third Brother to go to school, and Xiaoxiao also wants to have more time to study by himself!"

There is no school for girls in the village and town. It is unrealistic for Li Xiao to go to school. He can only study by himself, and then wait for his brother and the others to study together! "The most important thing," Li Xiao concluded, "Xiao Xiao will buy more and more land in the future!"

Good guy, wouldn’t he become a landlord?Li Dashan actually laughed out loud when he thought of this.

If this is the case, then you really need to hire someone.But isn’t it still a little early?
But looking into his daughter's eyes, Li Dashan couldn't say no.

"What about inviting people next spring?" Li Dashan asked tentatively.

"Dad, it takes a lot of time to build small terraced fields on 42 acres of low mountain land! Do you want to do it alone? Then I will pull out your gray hair while I'm tired?"

Li Dashan: ...Daughter, I’m heartbroken!
In the end, Li Yuan spoke up, saying that the family didn't lack a little money now, so just hire people if you could. With more people, work would be faster, and it would be clean and tidy.

So, the next day, Li Dashan arrived at the old carpenter's house.

The eldest son of the old carpenter's family is just thirty this year. He is dark and strong. The second son is 28, a little thin, but not small in strength.

I heard Li Dashan say that he wanted to ask them to help tidy up the low mountain land he just bought for two days. If he was paid, he would pay 20 cents a day for food.

In the low mountainous area, Li Xiao plans to plant 22 acres of yam and [-] acres of kirin fruit.For convenience, it has to be made into small terraces in advance.

Half of the five acres of dry land is planted with unicorn fruit and half with pepper.

Previously, Li Dashan's family simply surrounded the low mountain land and dry land with fences and trees, and simply tidied up the low mountain land.

If you want to plant things in spring, the low mountain land needs to be tidied up several times.

As for the five acres of dry land, which is connected to the previous orchard, in addition to inserting fence trees, Li Xiao also asked Li Dashan to build a short fence around the inside of the fence trees. This is also a lot of work!
