Chapter 65

Seeing that Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin used their three-acre rice field as a pond to raise fish, some villagers in Linjia Village spontaneously came to Lin Qiulai's house to help build a house.A few months ago, Yu Min had already led the villagers to make sweet potato flour to make money, and now I saw her succeed in raising fish in rice fields.

In fact, everyone in the village will help to build a house.Generally, there is no charge, but the host will provide two meals.It's just that some time ago everyone was busy with the autumn harvest and couldn't take care of it.Now when the busy farming is over, it is discovered that Lin Qiulai's new circle of land has already dug the foundation and even built walls.

Of course, most of the villagers who came to help out of good intentions, but there are also some villagers with other purposes.

Naturally, Fang Yumin could see it clearly, and felt relieved.But she will not refuse everyone's kindness. The sooner this house is built, the better, and it will be convenient for her to do things at home in the future.After all, in their house now, if they do something, everyone can see it as long as they pass by.

"Qiu Lai, go and talk to the folks, we don't want them to work for nothing. They have other things to do after finishing their farming work. How about this, if the folks want to build a house for our family, the wages and food will be the same as those in Wangjia Village. Like my big brothers, 30 yuan a day, including lunch." Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu: "Our family has to build the house before winter. Go and tell everyone that if more people come to do it, it will be even better. Alright. But, you and Uncle Damin must keep a close relationship, and don't let lazy people get in."

"Okay, don't worry. We know who is hardworking and who is lazy in this village." Lin Qiulai assured with a smile and patted his chest.

"That's good, I'll leave it to you." Fang Yumin smiled.

Originally, those who came to Lin Qiulai's house to help were only planning to do it when they were free, but who knew that Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin actually said that they would pay their wages.The salary is quite high in Nantou County, 30 days a day, including lunch.Building a house is not a matter of a day or two, but at least two or three months. Calculated in this way, it is really a large amount of income.

As soon as the news spread, more than [-] strong men came and asked to join, even Lin Qiulai's eldest brother Lin Chunlai and second brother Lin Xialai came.

Lin Qiulai and Lin Damin were in charge of selecting people, and Xiaoyang and Xiaoming solemnly dug out their notebooks to make records, because the wages were settled every 10 days, and this bookkeeping was always the work of these two children.It will be reviewed and paid by Fang Yumin.Fang Yumin taught Xiaoyang and Xiaoming to do this before the elder brothers and uncles from Wangjia Village came to help. Now they are very familiar with the process, and they do it well.

"Look at Xiao Ming, who has written a good hand at the age of five. It seems that he will be promising in the future. Sure enough, he has to send his children to school. There is a big difference between going to school and not going to school."

"I have to pay 400 Wen Shu Xiu a year, how can I afford it?"

"Yeah, I still need to buy pens, ink and paper. Our farmer's annual income minus taxes is only a little money left. If it weren't for Qiulai's daughter-in-law to help make Q powder and sell it for money, I guess I wouldn't even be able to eat meat."

"Qiulai and his wife are both good people. Look at that child, is his name Xiaoyang? It's just that the adopted son Qiulai and his wife are both sent to school. Good people, good people will be rewarded."

Everyone was talking in a low voice, but Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai didn't hear them.As soon as Fang Yumin saw Lin Chunlai, she immediately called Lin Qiulai into the room with an excuse to talk.

Lin Chunlai had met Fang Yumin several times, but it was the first time Lin Xialai and Fang Yumin had seen him since crossing over.Lin Xialai seems to be a quiet and honest person. He looks a lot like Lin Qiulai, but looks much older than him.In fact, Lin Xialai, who ranked second in the family, was actually not much better than Lin Qiulai, but their family was really poor and couldn't get much money, and Lin Xialai's daughter-in-law was not as weak and easy to bully as Fang Xiaolian, so Zhang Cuihua didn't come to find her. It's just a hassle.

These Lin Qiulai also briefly mentioned to Fang Yumin that the relationship between the three brothers was good before marriage, but after marriage, because everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and Zhang Cuihua was messing around, they didn't have much contact with each other.

Since it was a brother who came, logically, he should have come to help.But since Lin Qiu came to build the house, they didn't come to help, but now they came, it should be for the farm slack to do small labor to buy money.

Fang Yumin was afraid that Lin Qiulai would not treat his brother the same as other villagers, so he wanted to talk to him.

"Qiu Lai, your eldest brother and second brother are here, what are you going to do?" Fang Yumin asked.

Lin Qiulai was silent for a while. If he smoked Hanyan, he would probably have taken a puff.The second brother will not talk about it, he can understand the difficulties at home.But what about big brother?Xiao Min told the villagers about the sweet potato flour. He, his sister-in-law and mother were like enemies to his family.When the villagers knew that their house was being built and came to help, but they didn’t see him coming, and now they said they would pay the wages, he came…

"Xiao Min, my eldest brother and second brother should come here today to make some money. Just like everyone else."

"That's your elder brother and second brother."

"It's okay for the eldest brother, but the second brother's family is also in difficulties. We treat everyone equally on the public face, and let's talk about the rest in private. This will be fairer to everyone."

Fang Yumin smiled when she heard this: "That's good. Go out and help Uncle Damin, and tell everyone that wages will start counting tomorrow."

"Yeah." Lin Qiulai nodded, feeling unhappy.Brother Damin's family is not related to his family, but he treats his family so well.And my parents, elder brother and second brother are strangers to my family than strangers.

The manpower was quickly determined, and the villagers who were picked out by Lin Damin and Lin Qiulai had quarreled, but after all, everyone in the village knew that they were lazy, and in the end it was Lin Zhuxin himself who settled the matter.On the second day, there were more than 20 more men on the construction site, and the speed was even faster.

Since Lin Qiu came to dig the foundation at home, Aunt Chunhua brought Xiaohong to help Fang Yumin cook at almost lunch time every day.Otherwise, with Fang Yumin and Xiaoyang, even with Xiao Ming added, they wouldn't be able to cook so many meals.

Now there are nearly forty workers in total, and the workload of cooking has increased greatly.Besides Aunt Chunhua and Xiaohong, Xia Lai's daughter-in-law He Shi also came to help.

Like Lin Xialai, Mrs. He is also a muffled gourd. He doesn't grunt for a long time, but his hands and feet are nimble.She is not greedy for petty gains, she helps cook the meals and then goes home. Several times Fang Yumin asked her to bring her two children over to eat and she refused, so Fang Yumin had to pack all kinds of dishes for her to take home, so as not to Go home and make lunch.As for Lin Chunlai's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu, she never came here once.

It is impossible to make exquisite meals. In this case, we can only cook big pots of rice and big pots of dishes.Seeing that everyone put in all their efforts to help them build their houses, Fang Yumin felt grateful and was not stingy with food.

At this time, dried fish comes in handy. It is delicious and delicious when used to braise eggplants in soy sauce; potatoes are stewed with old scallion juice and five-spice powder, and they taste soft and delicious; carrots, winter melons, Corn and tofu are boiled together, which tastes sweet and comfortable; the main course is braised rabbit meat or braised pork belly.The former tastes amazing, but the latter is what everyone loves to eat. The big pieces of fat meat make the corners of the mouth runny, how delicious it is!
Miscellaneous grains, rice, corn buns are enough, and vegetables can be eaten casually.At this time, the price of food was not high, so Fang Yumin took the opportunity to buy a lot of vegetables, and the vegetables were too dry for the family to eat.

"Brothers and uncles, you have worked hard. Come and have a tea break." Fang Yumin and Xiaohong carried mint tea and chrysanthemum tea to the construction site to greet the workers who were building the wall.

The food is good, and the wages are high. Both Wangjiacun and Linjiacun are very satisfied.No, every day they prepare cool tea that relieves the heat and tastes good. No other host would do it so thoughtfully.

Most of the farmers are simple, if you treat me well, I will treat you better.Therefore, the progress of building the house is quite fast, which has exceeded Fang Yumin's expectations.

The days passed quickly, and one month later, Lin Qiulai sent the three-month-old rabbit to Zhuji according to the contract, earning more than 500 Wen.The shopkeeper of Zhuji asked Lin Qiulai if he could increase the supply?Since Zhuji launched the braised rabbit meat, the business volume has increased greatly. 50 rabbits are not enough, they were sold out in one day.Zhuji also tried cooking with wild rabbits, but it was indeed not tender enough and there was not much meat.Therefore, he hoped that Lin Qiulai would provide at least 200 rabbits a month.

Lin Qiulai told Fang Yumin as soon as he got home.Fang Yumin had already estimated that this would be the case, so in addition to raising rabbits, she also bought a large number of wild rabbits through Xiaoping.But now that her family is building a house, both Lin Qiulai and herself are really busy.She didn't even want the two children to be busy mowing grass and feeding rabbits every day. If they neglected their studies, the gains would outweigh the losses.But she didn't want the villagers to raise them too. If there were more rabbits, the price would drop.

Fang Yumin walked into the kitchen frowning, and saw Mrs. He breaking corn, preparing to cook with rice.Her hair was neatly combed, but she looked dull and dull, her knuckles were thick, and her skin was rough.It must have been a hard day.

Fang Yumin's heart moved, and she looked around, but Aunt Chunhua and Xiaohong were not there.She walked over and sat down across from Mrs. He, while breaking corn, she asked in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, do you want to raise rabbits? A catty of rabbit meat can be sold for 4 cents."

He was a little stunned when she heard this, she raised her head and asked Fang Yumin: "It's so expensive? Who buys rabbits in the market? Are you selling it to a restaurant?"

Fang Yumin nodded, leaned close to Mrs. He and whispered: "Yes, if your family also wants to raise rabbits, I will give you a few pairs of breeding rabbits, and I will also give you several litters of rabbits. Rabbits that are more than three months old It can be sold."

After hearing this, He rubbed his hands happily and said happily, "Then thank you Xiaolian, it's just my mother-in-law, do you want to tell her?"

Fang Yumin shook her head, and said to He in a low voice: "She's living a much better life than us, so don't tell me about it, you can send it to my house when she is three months old, and just ask Lin Qiu to send it to the restaurant."

"Okay." Mrs. He nodded, and asked with some hesitation: "But we haven't raised rabbits yet, this..."

"Don't worry, after work is over today, when everyone goes home, you bring your two children to my house for dinner, and then we will tell you how to raise rabbits. Xiaohua and Taohua haven't come to play for a long time, after all, they are cousins Let them come and play more when they are free. Xiaoyang and Xiaoming usually feed the rabbits in my house, and let them talk to Xiaohua and Taohua when the time comes, so that the children can get closer." No matter how Fang Yumin thought about it I can't remember the appearance of those two children, but I remember their names firmly.

"Okay, Xiaolian, thank you very much." He said gratefully.

"We are all sisters-in-law, so you don't need to look outside too much." Fang Yumin said with a smile.

Fang Yumin also thought about letting Aunt Chunhua's family raise rabbits, but when she saw Mrs. He, she remembered what Lin Qiu had said, so she wanted to help Lin Qiu's second brother.

Both Lin Xialai's family and her own family were looked down upon by Zhang Cuihua, who despised their family for being poor.If both of them become rich in the future, what kind of expression will Zhang Cuihua have?Fang Yumin was speechless when she thought of that savage and rascal Zhang, isn't that why she is biased?Could it be that Lin Xialai, Lin Qiulai was not conceived by you in October?
