Not to mention the difficulties Zhang Yan and the others had along the way.
After they left, Xin Hu returned to Luwei Village with Xie Sanbo and Xie Guanjia. Ding Xi, Zhao Bei and Zhao Nan were left by the river. Anyway, I have a place to live and food to eat. Although the three of them are all disabled, they can barely take care of themselves.
Back in the village, Steward Xie and Uncle Xie naturally had to go to the Xie family first, and then recruit the remaining servants of the Xie family to talk.
Xin Hu went home directly, and she had to think carefully about what to do in the future.
It can be said that she is not willing to take on this burden, she just wants to live a stable life. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to work to death. But now, no matter where she is, she may not be able to live the life she imagined.
It turns out that the past two years have been moving in this direction. Luwei Village is already considered a good village. The family has more land and the harvest is getting better. Moreover, she and Dalang no longer need to work desperately to work in the fields. Another point is that they have grown up, not only their working ability has increased, but as they grow older, they are about to escape the embarrassment of having to have parental supervision. Although Jiang Dashan is actually very good to them, it has to be said that there is still a difference between Jiang Dashan and Jiang Dashan.
In fact, Jiang Dashan heard Mr. Xie and Master Jiang and Wu talk about Xinhu and Dalang more than once. He was embarrassed to say that he was a cheap uncle. It can only be said that after my sister got married, she basically had no contact with her. It wasn't until both the couple passed away that she sent him a message asking him to take care of the children in this house. So he actually didn't understand how they lived before. In short, this lie was determined long ago, and I am embarrassed to tell everyone now.
Xin Hu angrily punched the pillow several times to vent his dissatisfaction. She couldn't stop Dalang from leaving, and she also knew in her heart that Dalang was not an ordinary country boy. His sky should be wider, and now this opportunity is so good. Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie both agreed that with so many of them together, they had to take care of each other. It was much better than him going it alone. However, none of this could resolve her dissatisfaction.
She didn¡¯t even understand why she was so unhappy. It's not just that the burden is placed on her.
"Sister, brother and the others are all gone?" Ping'er, Dabao, and Amao hurried in and pulled her to ask.
"Yes." Xin Hu nodded, looked at the three of them, and sighed in his heart. Really, after raising one, there are three more to raise.
"Are they really going to fight?" Ping'er said worriedly.
"Adults have things that adults should do. You don't have to worry about these, just do a good job in study and kung fu." Xin Hu comforted. But he was roaring in his heart, Lao Zi is obviously still a child, why is no one coming to comfort Lao Zi?
"Oh, eldest sister, do we have to go to the fields to grow crops by ourselves in the future?" Ping'er asked again. In the past two years, he has hardly worked in the fields. There is a labor force, so why let such a young child do hard work.
"Probably." Xin Hu replied.
Speaking of labor force, she immediately thought of a lot of work in the fields. Not only did Dalang and the others leave, but before they left, they had not worked in the fields for more than half a month. For the time being, we will rely on you to help us with the work in the fields for one day, and he will do the work for half a day. I'm afraid there's a lot of work to do in the fields.
"Then I'll go to the fields to take a look first." Ping'er said and left like a gust of wind. Although he is not old, he also knows that this family used to be run by Da Lang, but now it depends on Xin Hu. If he can help, he should do his best.
"Dabao, Amao. From today on, you two have to learn to do more work. Come, let me teach you how to cook first." Xinhu took the two little ones and went to the kitchen to get busy.
"She will be busy in the future, and I'm afraid she won't have much time to do housework. It's time for the two little ones to contribute some effort. Otherwise, just relying on her and Heping'er would be too exhausting to finish.
Although Dabao and Amao don¡¯t usually work much, they are not lazy children. What¡¯s more, they also understand that no one in the family works and everyone has to do things. For example, Chen Mao Mao is not much older than them. In addition to studying, they also have to work in the fields. When the farming is busy, Chen Mao Mao is almost as big as an adult.
"Dabao, please light up the stove first." Xin Hu directed the two little kids to start cooking. Although I don¡¯t expect to learn it in one meal, it¡¯s better to learn it early.
"What about me? What should I do?" Amao asked quickly when he saw Dabao's expression as if he was going to do something big.
"Well, you go to the garden to pick vegetables." Xin Hu looked at the empty vegetable basket and then remembered that he had not been at home for many days.
&nbs?It was funny and angry at the same time, and he said: "Come on, don't bother yourself, just rest in peace and recover. Anyway, the field has been opened, and I won't be able to grow much this year. I can only grow some vegetables to eat for myself."
"We are also idle with nothing to do, but our health is not good, so we really can't do much work." Ding Xi said embarrassedly.
"There's no rush. I have to wait until you are well taken care of before we can get down to business." Butler Xie said.
After Xinhu worked day and night for a few days, he decided to find someone to come back and help with the work. She and Heping'er alone couldn't do it, and it would be more than worth the gain if they were exhausted. Anyway, now that we have the conditions, why not find a few people to come back and work.
However, she did not make the decision without authorization, but asked the two masters: "Master, do you think it would be better to hire people to do the work, or simply arrange for them to live in the village?"
"How many households do you want to add to Luwei Village? Or do you think it will be enough as it is now?" Master Jiang asked back.
Xin Hu thought for a while and said, "If Luwei Village is allowed to have a few more households, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate it." Now she doesn't dare to add a few more households to the village like she did when she took in the Hu family and the Wu family. After all, it is now impossible to allocate land and houses to everyone.
"That's it, let's just rent the fields to tenants for farming. In this way, even if there are a few more families in the village, they won't be able to talk if they don't have their own fields. Although there are more people, it doesn't actually count. People from Reed Village.¡±
Master Jiang gave her an answer directly. Anyway, every household has a slight surplus in the grain they grow. If they are farmed to others, they can basically meet their own needs and also provide a way for others to make a living.
It¡¯s not very reliable to hire people. It's less troublesome than being a tenant. Moreover, they have also discussed this matter. Now there is less labor in the village. Although there are people helping them farm, it is not a problem since everyone is almost exhausted. It is better to hire a few households of tenant farmers to come over. Everyone will be more relaxed and can also The population of Luwei Village can be made as large as that of Jiang Dashan and the others. The more men there are, the stronger the village will be. No matter how powerful women are, it is not a long-term solution.
They both planned to mention this matter to Xin Hu, but they didn¡¯t expect that she would take the initiative to mention it.
Xin Hu was also very satisfied. It was because she didn¡¯t understand many things in ancient times and only wanted to hire people. She never thought that there was another way in ancient times, which was sharecropping. Sharecroppers depended on large households for survival. Although no family in Luwei Village now owns hundreds or thousands of acres of land like the landlords, they don't need too many tenant farmers. Two families are enough.
And tenant farmers are easy to find. Who among the people from the villages outside wouldn¡¯t want to live in Luwei Village? They think Luwei Village is a happy nest. As long as everyone picks people, they will surely find someone they are satisfied with. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
