Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 145

Li Qiu is looking for a wife, Wu's heart is also broken. It used to be in Yejia Village. If the family is still the same as before, it will be enough to find a similar family. Well, it's not that I don't like the people in the village, but that after the beginning of autumn, people will take the imperial examination. At that time, someone must control the scene, otherwise it will be ugly?She is also working hard.

"The county magistrate's sister said it was a good one, and the magistrate's wife has asked someone to come over to say it." Jin said to Wu.

Since Xiaoqiao got engaged to the Qi family, no one in the county dared to provoke their family, and many people started to walk with them.

I heard that Li Qiu is looking for a wife, no, many people have come to make suggestions, even the county magistrate has started.

Wu said: "Didn't you say that the county magistrate's wife is Qi Yan's elder sister? Can this thing be done? I'm not afraid of anything else, it's only possible if the girl's family is of good character. Let’s talk about me, I can’t make a turn when I go out now, because others think that I am old and have a high seniority, so don’t say anything, but this young daughter-in-law is not like that.”

Mrs. Jin hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry about it. We can ask people to ask. If it's not good, we can find an excuse to refuse. If it's really good, can't we keep it by our side and teach it well? No one is alone. You can do it at the beginning, but you have to adapt slowly, and generally you will be fine."

Mrs. Wu nodded, the eldest daughter-in-law was right, "It's almost Chinese New Year now, let's talk about this matter after Chinese New Year."

Jin said: "Listen to my mother, we can also send the post by ourselves at that time, and invite those people to come to our door, and we can also take a good look at the character of these girls. By the way, let them meet the second brother too, see See how good our second brother is."

That is to say, in front of many people, let Li Qiu come over to greet the elders. At this time, let the girls also meet each other to realize the mutual recognition. Although it is a bit disadvantageous for the man, because the man sees it by himself. It's not about the girl herself, but for men, I don't care about these trivial things. Marriage is a major event in a woman's life, so she can't be careless, not to mention Wu's guarding Liqiu, she will never cheat her son.

Mrs. Wu heard what Mrs. Jin said. This idea is good. Anyway, Ye Zhu has been tossing around for so long, and his garden is also in good shape, so he can invite others to come and play.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Laba Festival. Many people cook Laba porridge for drinking. Xiaoqiao’s family used to cook it himself. Rice is much more delicious, and this year is no exception. Although Mrs. Wu is called a wife now, she still does it herself when she has time, making some delicious food for her family.

So this year, Xiaoqiao can eat Laba porridge made by Mrs. Wu again. It is so delicious that she couldn't help but eat an extra bowl.

Wu smiled and said, "Although your skills in the kitchen are not bad, what can you do with your needlework?"

Jin said: "Xiaoqiao is already working hard, I believe there will be no problems."

Xiaoqiao said: "When the time comes there, it's just a matter of recognizing relatives, and it will be done in the meeting, except that the sister-in-law in the future needs to be more careful, and the rest will be easier."

One of the advantages of not having a mother-in-law is that you will not be picky about your sewing work, and you will be able to live with your future father-in-law. There is very little communication between them, and the future sister-in-law is of the same generation, so it is impossible to catch her. My younger siblings don't let go, let alone the family has been separated long ago, so I can't talk about myself.

Xiaoqiao has thought this all up. It doesn’t matter what you give to the juniors, but small jewelry. If you are right, you are wrong. It is the elders and the juniors.So she doesn't worry about needlework at all, who wants to let the daughter-in-law who passes through the door do as well as a embroiderer?

Wu said: "Then what about Qi Yan's clothes in the future, you have to make them."

While Jin was laughing, Xiao Qiao said, "I don't need to do this."

"How can it be done? You are a daughter-in-law, and you can't even make a piece of clothing. What do you say? Not to mention, you can't let outsiders make those middle clothes, right? From now on, you pick up your needlework for me, don't be so careless anymore, and put everything else aside."

Well, Xiaoqiao admits that what her mother said makes sense, this female celebrity is a craft, you must not understand it, anyway, you have to practice to the level that you can make a piece of clothing.

So during this period of time, Xiaoqiao had to practice this female celebrity diligently. Fortunately, when she was in Yejia Village, she also had some foundation, not to say that it was very difficult.

"In addition to selling fresh fish, the fish can also be marinated and sold as cured fish. This way the price is higher and it is not easy to spoil. The growing time can also be shortened." Qi Yan said to Lixia.

A few of them are in the Huibin building, including Feng Yifan, and even Shuangping came over this time. Feng Yifan is now in charge of the Fengjia rice shop, and Shuangping has to learn something along with him so that he can help in the future.

Li Xia said: "This salted fish is good, but I still need to find a master of salted fish. Besides this, I bought a Zhuangzi for Xiaoqiao last time. Make it the same as Zhuangzi, and then send a village head to take care of it, Lao Liang is a good person, but he used to be a long-term worker."

"It's best to let the people who are in your hands take care of it, not to mention worrying, after all, this is the long-term solution." Qi Yan said, the old Liang Li Xia mentioned was probably just working in their family. Is Li Xia embarrassed to fire him now, or something else?It's hard to say this, so Qi Yan said it, and you can't think that it's just soft-hearted.

"As for the old Liang you mentioned, if you have an errand on hand, you can place one for him. You pay him, not to let him do it for nothing. Don't feel sorry for anyone in your heart. Since you want to be like Zhuangzi, then You have to make a choice." Qi Yan said.

Feng Yifan also said: "I think my cousin-in-law is right. Favors and other things are two different things. You both contribute your efforts and the other contributes money. You don't owe anyone else, don't you think? If he is willing If you work on your side, you can continue to start work for him, but if he feels resentful because you arranged someone to take over his errand, then we have nothing to say, and you don’t owe him anything. If he does it for nothing, he can still say that he is paid now, what can he say? If he really has complaints in his heart, such a person should be abandoned as soon as possible. If not, then you can stay and see if there is something suitable. Let him do it, why not lose face?"

Li Xia said: "What you said is all, I want to go wrong." He is also a member of the boss, and he knows what troubles this soft heart will cause, but because Lao Liang has indeed done a lot of things in the past. I sent someone over to push him down, and I feel a little sorry for this.

"The person you sent over has a contract of prostitution, that is, your servant. In comparison, everyone is willing to use their own servant. If Lao Liang knew this, he would definitely not say anything, unless he also wanted to sell himself. Come in, but I think he would rather be a long-term worker to earn this money, which means he doesn't want to be a servant, and a long-term worker is just a long-term worker, no one can be a long-term worker for a lifetime." Qi Yan said again.

"Yes, you gave them a chance to make money, but you also have the right to take it back." Feng Yifan said aside.

"Well, I understand. Let me explain this clearly to everyone. I think everyone should understand." There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and no one can live without offending others. It's like this.

After the next year, the mess in Yejia Village will be handed over to the steward who was hired by Lixia. It just happens to be a family, and then it will develop slowly. With this steward, Yejia Village will not need it at all. He was worried, it was clear when and what should be produced, and even the fish ponds were well arranged by the steward.Of course, Lao Liang and others can continue to work as long-term workers in Yejia Village, and they will be paid according to their wages. If they feel dissatisfied, then he will not force them.

"Could it be that the fourth uncle and the others are messing around again?" Xiaoqiao also thought it was good after hearing the arrangement of his elder brother Lixia. It was really convenient to make it like a Zhuangzi, and they didn't have to worry about Yejia Village in the city. Those fields, fish ponds, and fruit trees on the mountain.

With this steward, the steward will not give them face if the upper house takes the opportunity to take advantage of it. Anyway, they listen to the master's everything.

Li Qiu said with a smile: "The fourth uncle said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are not enough fish at home, so he took the initiative to fish in the fish pond. Someone dared not say anything, so he asked him to fish a few. Brother knows, this is not the case. In the future, the fish pond will also have to be fenced, and no one can take advantage of it, or the person in charge can directly report to the officials."

Xiaoqiao was really speechless when he heard about the fourth uncle. He originally planned to give more fish to each family this year, but he did it like this. What do you think, the relationship with my own family is so bad, and I dare to go there.

Those who watched saw that Ye Gen was the younger brother and uncle of the master's family, so they definitely didn't dare to go too far, but those who have a body certificate are different, their life and death are in the hands of the master's family, of course they only listen to the master's family , To protect the interests of the host family, if Ye Gen catches fish in front of them, he will either be caught or tied up as a thief. Loyalty is different.

"Uncle Dunzi wasn't there at the time?" Xiaoqiao asked.

"It's not that I'm not here, so I let the fourth uncle take advantage of the loophole. Uncle Dunzi said that someone told him about his wife, so he didn't go to see him. He asked for a few days off, and this happened."

Dunzi and his mother have already agreed, let them take care of the fish pond, and pay them annual wages, which is considered employment. Just a little bit of help, and a year's wages are worth it.

"What about Lao Liang and the others?" After all, now that he has his own servants, the long-term worker is not very useful.

Li Qiu said: "I kept a part of it. If I say I am willing to do it, I will do it here. At that time, I will pay according to the strength I put out. Now we have few people, so let's take it slowly." This is like a process. Once you have reached a certain level of being able to hire people, you can buy people yourself and develop step by step.

"Second brother, you will need manpower in the future." If the second brother really becomes an official, then this servant will be indispensable.

Li Qiu smiled and said: "Yeah, so I'm learning from my brother now, how to employ people. In this regard, my brother is better than me, and the outside experience cannot be learned from books."
