The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 81
The notice was posted and word of mouth spread, and more people came to sign up to work.

Pick artificial.Let the two long-term fish farmers lead the excavation, Su Ling did not take care of it, but handed it over to Su's father. After all, Su's father who will stay on the fish pond for a long time in the future is also Su's father who works with the long-term workers. So we must choose the one that can reconcile with Father Su himself.She is only responsible for the closing hours of the day.Calculate and pay the wages according to the list given to her by Su's father.

There are four ponds, one of which has an excavated area of ​​eight mu.The depth is shallow, and this is the lotus pond intended to be used for planting lotus roots.The other three are fish ponds, each with an average excavation area of ​​six acres and a relatively deep depth, intended to be used for fish farming.

Both lotus ponds and fish ponds were excavated along the embankments, and were connected with small rivers by canals for water diversion.In addition, there is a water outlet on the other side of the lotus pond.Through the outlet canal, water can be discharged to low-lying places and introduced to the downstream of the river when needed.

Between each lotus pond and fish pond, dams are also built.Leave an open space on the embankment.Trees can be planted, and a passage for a large carriage can be built.

This side is busy digging fish ponds, Su Ling and Su Dong have already rushed to Bai County, this time they went to Bai County not for fun, but to buy a house, not only to buy their own house, if If there is a suitable store, Su Ling also wants to buy it together, so it can be regarded as accumulating real estate for his family!Su Ling and Su Dong are going, Su's mother is obviously worried and wants to follow.

"Mother, if you go with us, what will my father do? Who will take care of him at home? And what will He'er do? Don't worry, treasurer Qian is going to Bai County just now, I will meet with you He went with him, so you can rest assured that he will take care of you!" Su Ling persuaded Su's mother.

"The two of you have never been so far away from home, how can I not worry." Su's mother was worried, "Why don't we go to the county to buy a house? Now our family also has to dig fish ponds, and we also have lotus roots. What about the breeding farm you mentioned, so many things are enough for our family to be busy, and we don’t necessarily have to go to the county seat.” Although Su Ling said that there is money to take care of him, but Su’s mother is still very concerned about the two of them going to the county seat. Don't worry.

"Mother, my elder brother and I are no longer children, especially the elder brother. Sooner or later we will leave Qingshi Town and go to other places. Just think about it. If my elder brother is in high school by then, the Holy Lord will send him as a foreigner. He has to go too! So it's good to take advantage of this opportunity to exercise." Su Ling hugged Su's mother's hand and comforted her.

"Hey, mother can't say no to you, you have grown up, like grown-up birds, sooner or later you will fly out of mother's embrace, but no matter what, you must take care of yourself." Mother Su didn't say anything, Su Ling decided The day to go to Bai County is the day after tomorrow, and Su's mother is afraid that something will be inconsiderate, so she is busy helping the two of them clean up.

"Father, after I go to Bai County, all the affairs of this family depend on you. Uncle Li can see that there should be no mistakes in digging fish ponds, but our family must settle the wages every day, and we must not break our promises." People." Su Ling asked, although she knew that Su's father would take care of everything at home, she still couldn't help worrying that when she was at home, she took care of these trivial matters, such as handing out She doesn't leave any salary or anything else.

"Silly Ling'er, don't worry! Dad will take care of all these properly, but you and Dong'er must take good care of yourself when you arrive in the county. If you have anything to discuss with Qian Treasurer. If it's not at home If you are so busy, Dad will go with you." For the first time the two children left Qingshi Town, Su's father was also very worried, but his thinking was different from Su's mother, he knew that the child would stay away one day In the embrace of his parents, he flew to his own sky. He is willing to be prejudiced against such a situation. Not only will he not stop him, but he will also support him a lot. It's just that this is the first time he really wants to be with him, but he is also separated, and he can only speak ordered.

Seeing that Su's father was lost in thought, Su Ling said again, "Father, let's choose together when I come back to hire a long-term worker at home. I will come back as soon as possible, and during this period of time, we can invite him to cook for lunch at home." Man, if I don't help at home, my mother won't be able to do it alone." Su Ling remembered that when the family hired people to work, she said that she would take care of one meal a day. If she went to Bai County, the meals for so many people Su's mother would definitely be too busy alone, so she had to hire someone.

"Okay, little one, think so much, dad will arrange these things, just take good care of yourself."

"Father, don't worry, I will take good care of Ling'er." Su Dong also expressed his opinion.

"Well, I feel more at ease with you here."

"What! Don't you worry if I'm alone?" Su Ling pretended to be angry.

"You ghost, if you are alone, father is really worried." Father Su also knows this daughter very well. With her temperament, once she is addicted to something, she won't remember anything, and she shouldn't even cry. , and that thinking is a little bit out of the way, Su's father is really worried.

"Second brother, here we come!" Zhang Sheng greeted Father Su when he saw him coming.He is also helping to dig fish ponds at Su Ling's house, he is considered the captain of a small team, and he is leading everyone to do this with great enthusiasm!Although it was still the end of winter and the weather was relatively cold, everyone didn't feel cold, and some people even had traces of sweat on their foreheads.

"Well, everyone is hungry too! It's noon now, let's all eat before going to work!" Father Su shouted.Everyone here also stopped working, and some of them who hadn't finished their work quickened their pace, filled the baskets, and picked up the mud when they came back from dinner.

Su's father led in the front. There were about twenty men. Of course, this could not be all the men in Huaxi Village. There were also some who had a bad relationship with Su Ling's family and looked down on Su Ling's family. Father is just messing around, no one raises fish by himself, this fish is always raised by nature, he thinks that Father Su can't raise fish, not only because he can't raise them, but also can't pay their wages at that time, worrying that they will do it for nothing live.

Of course, there are some things that they want to work on, but usually they are too lazy to do it. Whenever other people need help, they will go there, but they never work when they go, and they are particularly happy when it comes to eating. , Su's father has always kept a respectful distance from such people, and of course he will not invite them.

"Wow! It smells so good, second brother, second sister-in-law, what are they doing! You can smell the fragrance from afar." Zhang Sheng laughed.

"I didn't watch it either. You'll know when you eat it. If it smells good, eat more later."

Mother Su arranged the dining table in the courtyard, which is relatively spacious and can accommodate more people. Twenty or so people are divided into three tables, of course, Su Ling's table is also included.
