Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 64 Welcome, workers

Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner.

During the Jiang family's lunch, the braised pork soup base was used by the men to mix with the rice.

A pot of rice, plenty, and finally finished.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei who passed by shook their heads, not leaving any for the dog!

Mrs. Liu went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, while the two brothers Liu Cheng and Liu Neng took the time to continue building the stove.

Song Yu was entrusted with an important task by Grandma Xu, and she was optimistic about the two monkeys~

Ahem, of course, this does not include the little fiancée.

Fu Bao is so good, how could he play with mud and ants with Gua Wazi?

Mrs. Xu and her son went into the house to discuss for a while, and finally decided on asking Li Xiaotian to help his family with work.

Twenty copper coins a day is six coins a month.

Three meals a day are included, but accommodation is not included. Her job is to watch the river beach and deliver goods with her son.

Most of the time, it's pretty free.

Especially when it comes to money, even working at the docks is exhausting and nothing more than that.

After Jiang Changfa heard what his mother said, he felt it was feasible.

So he shouted to Fa Xiao who was chopping firewood in the yard——

"Xiaotian, come here, my mother has something to tell you."

"Okay, here we go~"

Li Xiaotian felt anxious. After putting down the hatchet, he felt it was not safe, so he put it on a high place again and made sure that the children could not touch it before entering the house.

This carefulness fell into Fubao's eyes, and he felt that Uncle Li was attentive.

After a while, the sound of sobbing came from the hall, and then the sound of kowtows.

Fubao thought to himself, it seemed like it was done, and Uncle Li would work for him from now on.

Well, welcome, workman~

Jiang Chang sent out, called Brother Yu, and asked him to write a contract.

These days, if you work as a long-term worker, you will probably have to write a contract about how much you will pay and what you will do.

Otherwise, neither the employer nor the permanent employee would have any protection.

After hearing this, Song Yu went to draft the contract with confidence.

Soon, Uncle Jiang and Uncle Li pressed their thumbprints on the identical contract, and it was considered completed.

Make two copies and keep them separately.

Li Xiaotian put away the contract with red eyes.

He finally has a legitimate job!

Six dollars a month means seven or eight taels of silver a year. Food and drink belong to the Jiang family. He has nothing to spend money on. If he saves for two years, he will have a wife!

Thanks to the Jiang family, thanks to Aunt Xu, and thanks to Fa Xiao for trusting me!

"Xiaotian, go and see the river beach. I'll ask your brother Chang Fa to call you during dinner."

Old Mrs. Xu didn't like the idea of ​​being grateful, so she sent the boy away with a tigerish face.

"Yeah, yeah, leave the river beach to me, aunt, don't worry!"

Li Xiaotian felt like he was full of energy. If he didn't do his job well, he wouldn't be a human being!

"This kid~"

Mrs. Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and watched Li Xiaotian disappear in a hurry.

Xiaotian is the eldest child. If you meet the right one in the future, you must pay attention to this child.

Jiang Changfa scratched his head. With Fa Xiao joining in to help him work, he no longer had to run back and forth to the river beach or home.

It greatly reduced his anxiety, which is great~

Brother Liu Cheng didn't say a word about what happened.

This is a matter for the Jiang family, and it’s up to the Jiang family to decide.

They only care about whether the girl is doing well.

After observing for a long time, it seemed that the girl did not suffer any harm in her husband's family. Aunt Xu treated her as if she had just married into the Jiang family.

The little niece, the little nephew, and the extra niece and adoptive husband are getting along well, too?

The lunch meal can also show the financial strength of the brother-in-law's family. It should be, not as bad as rumored!

Fu Bao saw the unique style of the newly built stove and came over curiously and asked:

"Uncle and uncle, can you build a house?"

Seeing that it was his niece who came over, Liu Cheng stopped what he was doing and answered confusedly:

"I can."

"That's good, my grandma wants to build another room in the open space in front of the house on the east side, right there. If the eldest uncle and the second uncle can do it, then we won't invite outsiders, let's hire our own people~"

Fu Bao pointed to the open space in front of the house on the east side and motioned to his uncle and uncle to look at the area.

The reason why she took the initiative to find her eldest uncle and her second uncle was because she saw the exquisite stoves they made. On the other hand, she just heard her little cousin inadvertently reveal that her grandfather’s family ate meat except for her grandfather’s birthday. , the whole family hasn’t eaten for a long time.

One phrase covers a lot of the Liu family's situation.

It turns out that the Liu family had to live frugally in order to educate their two cousins, and their life was very tight.

When she thought that her grandfather's family was not having a good life, but large and small baskets of dry goods came to her house, Fubao felt that instead of letting outsiders make money when building a house, it would be better for his own uncles to make money.

"Ah? Build a room?"

Liu Neng was a little confused. Isn't the house at his brother-in-law's house not enough for living?

"Yes, Fu Bao's second uncle, I originally wanted to ask your brothers during dinner, but if I have time to help build the house."

Mrs. Xu brought tea over, poured two cups, and handed them to the Liu brothers.

"Of course you have time, but I don't know what kind of house you always want to build?"

Liu Cheng took the tea cup flattered, but what he was thinking about at this time was that the Jiang family only had a son, his brother-in-law. Although he also had a daughter, he heard that...

Who is this newly built house built for?

"Yes, Auntie, how big is this house? Whether it is made of blue bricks or mud bricks, the cost and labor are different."

Liu Neng bent down and took the teacup, and at the same time he was in line with his elder brother's words.

"This house is built for Brother Yu to live in. Boys and girls have different seats when they are seven years old. My Fu Bao will be seven years old next year."

Old Mrs. Xu explained that she would just build a brick house. Her yard is quite large. She could build it directly on the open space next to the house on the east side, so there was no need to spend money to buy land.

After hearing the request, the Liu brothers began to make calculations in their minds.

It doesn't take much work to build a new house on flat land.

Save some money for your brother-in-law's family, and without hiring outsiders, just rely on the two brothers, plus the brother-in-law and his younger brother, four hardworking men, and the project is almost completed in one month.

Their wages are less.

Sand, bricks, girders, and putty for painting walls.

Then I visually inspected the area of ​​​​the house to be built. It was a mixed bag, and it would take eight to ten taels to complete the work.

"Eight taels to twelve taels?"

Mr. Xu nodded, maybe the Liu brothers had underpaid their wages.

This price is similar to what she estimated.

When the house is sold, some money will be subsidized to the two brothers.

You can't treat your daughter-in-law's natal brother badly.

"Ah."

Liu Neng nodded and reminded:

"If my aunt wants to build a house, she must finalize the time as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to start construction when the weather gets hot."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded, indeed, it is April now, neither hot nor cold.

When May begins, the weather will start to get hotter, and it will be difficult to build a house by then.

"Then do it as soon as possible, build it as soon as possible, and let Brother Yu live in a house alone as soon as possible."

Mrs. Xu never explained Brother Yu's life experience, but her attitude represented the attitude of the Jiang family.

Brother Liu Cheng looked at each other and said, OK, take this job.
