"Boss, isn't this too much?" Xiao Chen frowned, thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, as long as we are long-term workers on the mountain, a family with four seasons and eight sets of clothes is enough." Now, the clothes of the peasants are not three years old, so there is no need to make new clothes for the Chinese New Year."
Seeing Xiao Chen's frowning, with a look of pain on her face, Chu Rong couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law Chen, we didn't care about it before, but now these people are helping my house, so it's naturally different. Besides, the people on the mountain You guys are doing a good job, and the vegetable fields, chickens, ducks, etc. are considered a bumper harvest."
"Naturally, there should be no less rewards. I plan to give each person an extra month's money, plus a set of winter clothes, ten catties each of rice and flour, twenty catties of pork, two chickens and ducks each, and a basket of vegetables. , let them go to the vegetable field to pick what they like, and pick whatever they like.¡±
Xiao Chen stared straight at it, she thought that there were only money and clothes, and there were all kinds of food, so there was no need to buy new year's goods with so much.
You must know that the monthly wages of men¡¯s long-term workers on the mountain are five taels, women have one tael less, and those children still have one tael of hard-earned money. If it is doubled, each family can get more than ten taels of silver.
Adding winter clothes and food, etc., it would be almost twenty taels, which is not a small sum.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen came back to her senses, nodded heavily and said, "I see, after dinner, I will discuss with Shoujiang's wife and Xiaolin's wife about making clothes, and the money will be settled on the mountain at the end." When I was paid once, I gave it together."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen handed over the ledger that she had always carried with her to Chu Rong, "I keep a record of the cash register and purchase expenses on weekdays, and there are more than four hundred taels in the ledger, which are all in my place. , when do you think it will be brought over?"
"Don't take it, let's put it away for now. Farming in the spring will require a large amount of money, and it will be fine to pay it out of the account at that time."
Flipping through the ledger, the smile on the corners of Chu Rong's mouth became wider and wider. This little Chen family is also a wonderful person. She doesn't know many words, but she remembers the ledger clearly. It looks like a picture book.
Xiao Chen seemed to remember it too, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she didn't dare to look at Chu Rong.
"Haha, Sister-in-law Chen, I think you will set aside an hour every day to learn how to read from Mrs. Huang in the next year or so. You are now the big housekeeper of our family, and you will be the shopkeeper in the future. If you don't know how to read, you will not succeed."
Chu Rong smiled and returned the account book to Mrs. Chen, and couldn't help but suggest.
"Ah, I still don't want to go. I'm very busy on the mountain. I'll just let Tweety teach me at night." Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said with a blushing face.
The two chatted until the early noon, and the long-term workers also came to the yard together, leaving only Li Dapeng to accompany Sun Juan on the mountain.
Chu Rong raised her eyebrows, listening to some gossip about Li Dapeng and Sun Juan, An An couldn't help thinking that those two were really suitable. Sun Juan is ten years older, but Sun Juan has such an incident after all, it may be nothing in modern times, at most it will be a period of time, but in this era, it will lose her innocence. If Li Dapeng doesn't mind, the two It's a good marriage when people are together.
When Huang Shuhai and the children came back, the meals were ready. Because of the cold weather, the men gathered around a large table in the main room, the children were arranged on the kang in the west room, and the wives put a table under the west room. And by the way, I can take care of the baby.
Fortunately, when the houses were first built, Chu Rong expanded the size of each house by two meters, even if two tables were seated together with more than a dozen people, it would not be crowded.
While eating and chatting, Mrs. Chen suddenly asked about the one hundred acres of paddy fields. It turned out that after the long-term workers came, they talked to her a few words. In the past, the early rice in the village was planted in early April, and it could be all planted in about ten days.
And Chu Rong has 100 acres of land here, the best way is to start planting a few days in advance, so as to miss the busy farming.
"I've thought about this too. We'll hire fifty people for three days at the end of March, and we can finish it in three days. I'm afraid we'll have to hire four or five helpers to look after the fields. I'll leave it to you."
"Well, then, when the time comes, hold on to the people in the village first, and then go outside to look for them if you don't have enough." Xiao Chen replied with a smile.
The women next to me also heard it clearly. There are many brothers and sisters in this era. For example, Dalin's daughter-in-law has two older brothers and one younger brother. After two months of help, I'm afraid I won't even be able to uncover the pot.
A few days ago, there was news that the younger sister-in-law was pregnant, and Dalin¡¯s daughter-in-law thought about bringing some money to eat and go see it tomorrow.?If the two come to take care of those fields, the life of the family will definitely be easier.
