As soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, the rest of the people present were stunned and stared at him for a moment.
He stared at Uncle Liu and muttered in a low voice: "I'm just asking, if it doesn't work, forget it..." After saying that, he curled his lips, looking a little aggrieved.
Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Liu Yunniang joked: "Uncle Liu, you are not young anymore. You should rest your arms and legs at home. Qingluan said that the work involves climbing mountains and crossing ditches. Don't sprain your feet again!"
Su Qingluan also laughed. She did not plan to hire anyone who was too old, because the older she got, the more unstable her health would be. It can be seen to the naked eye that overtime work is inevitable in the past half month. Young people can still last for a while with their abundant energy and excellent physical fitness, but if middle-aged and elderly people suffer from any disease due to overwork, she will be guilty of a big crime.
When Uncle Liu heard Liu Yunniang's words, he sighed deeply: "Hey, living in such a shack, how can I rest peacefully? If I continue to rest, I won't know where tomorrow's rations will be!"
As soon as these words came out, even Yagyu was happy at first, but this sentence made everyone stop laughing.
Uncle Liu looked at the people on the opposite side and waved his hands comfortingly: "Hey, the bridge is naturally straight from the bow of the ship. How can a living person be choked to death by urinating? I was just joking. If there is no problem with this contract, I will just copy it. Do it twice!”
It doesn't take much thinking to write something like this, so Su Qingluan was writing with his hands, but thinking about other things in his mind - how many "Uncle Lius" are there in the narrow alley here?
Su Qingluan made a rough calculation and found that there would be at least dozens of households and hundreds of people.
According to the fact that the "production line" of jam has not yet been fully established, it is obviously unrealistic to recruit these people.
But these people live in such a crude environment, with no food and clothing, and no one to take care of them. In winter...
Closing her eyes, Su Qingluan made up her mind to get rid of these messy thoughts as much as possible from her mind, secretly enlightening herself: If you want to bite off more than you can chew, if you want to help others, you must be within the scope of your ability.
She is just an ordinary person and does not have the ability to take on the lives of poor people all over the world. This is not something she should worry about.
Now her ability is to take care of the villagers in Huaxi Village first.
Su Qingluan tried his best to calm down and not think too much about too far things.
When Su Qingluan finished transcribing two lines of the last contract, Mrs. Xi returned from the county government office.
I saw Su Qingluan sitting next to the only low table that could be regarded as "furniture" in the house, sitting on a "low stool" made of two adobe bricks stacked on top of each other, writing something.
After asking about the cause and effect, Mrs. Xi clapped her hands cheerfully: "That's a good relationship! The Su family is a kind family, girl, you have to do your best when working with me!" The latter part of the sentence was addressed to Liu Yunniang.
Su Qingluan suddenly thought that if Liu Sheng were to take over the job of handling the sewer instead of Liu Yunniang, his legs and feet were not very flexible after all, so he asked: "Is there any difficulty in the sewer, Uncle Liu? Otherwise -" Otherwise, her family would make an extra trip every day and ask Su Guangfu to come and carry the sewer.
Su Qingluan originally planned to say this.
As a result, Liu Sheng was worried that he would lose his job of handling the sewage, so he hurriedly patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Miss Su, I will ask my mother-in-law to carry the sewage over every morning, and there will definitely be no shortage..."
A few people were discussing the water handover here, but Uncle Liu was waiting for Su Qingluan as if he had been hit hard. He pointed at her in disbelief and looked at Liu Sheng: "You...you called him 'Little lady'? He...she is a woman?!"
Yagyu didn't see the old man's feat of "waiting on a pole" just now, and nodded without knowing why: "That's natural."
"Hey!" Uncle Liu patted his forehead, stood up quickly, cupped his fists and bowed to Su Qingluan to apologize: "Hey, little lady, I was too impulsive just now, old man."
Su Qingluan couldn't help crying or laughing and quickly helped him up: "Don't say that, you are just kind-hearted."
Liu Sheng looked confused, and Liu Yunniang learned from her father about how Su Qingluan was almost treated as a "thief" and a "disciple".
Fortunately, it was an own mistake, and everyone had a good laugh.
Su Qingluan transcribed two contracts, plus the original one, making a total of three copies. After Liu Yunniang confirmed again that the contents were correct, the two of them wrote their names and fingerprints on the three contracts respectively.
Uncle Liu took a look and placed his name next to the three contracts. Each of the three parties kept a contract in case there was anything they could check with each other.
After finishing the matter, Uncle Liu went back to his home.
Because there are a lot of things going on recently, Su Qingluan explained to the Liu family that they might have to get up early and stay late at night, doing a lot of work. Although she could get double wages, Liu Yunniang would be too tired if she had to juggle between the county seat and Huaxi Village - after all, a round trip would take more than an hour.
So Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang discussed that if the main work places were in Huaxi Village, then Liu Yunniang would live with Su Qingluan in the Su family and share a room with Su Qingluan - fortunately, Su Qingluan now lives alone. In one room, the two girls were both thin and could just fit on the bed.
The Liu family didn't have any objections after hearing this. After all, Su Qingluan was also a girl, so it didn't matter even if they lived together.
With this in mind, Mrs. Xi gave her daughter a few more instructions, and then started to pack Liu Yunniang's luggage - such as underwear or some commonly used things.
Su Qingluan didn't stop him.
Although she has many daily necessities at home, it is more convenient to keep such personal items by herself.
Soon, the two of them returned to the market, and Su Qingluan started her big shopping again.
Liu Yunniang was watching her purchase of chicken, duck and fish from behind, and asked curiously: "Qingluan, is there any happy event in your family today? Looking at your big party, whose birthday is it?" Then should she prepare? Isn’t it a little bad to go empty-handed when ordering some congratulatory gifts?
Just when Liu Yunniang was struggling, Su Qingluan waved her hand: "You don't have to worry about it. There is such a happy event, but it's not someone's birthday."
"That is……"
"Anyway, just come with me." Su Qingluan pulled Liu Yunniang, who was confused, and continued shopping happily.
Now large quantities of autumn vegetables have begun to appear on the market, but there are still a few days until the real wave of concentrated vegetable sales, so it doesn't look particularly spectacular yet.
Su Qingluan also bought a few newly-launched Chinese cabbages, planning to go home to make half of them kimchi and half pickled sauerkraut.
Although she bought a lot of things, Su Qingluan had Liu Yunniang as her "follower", so shopping was much easier.
And Su Qingluan once again realized that Liu Yunniang looked thin, but she was even stronger than some teenagers!
Although Su Qingluan only took less than a third of the things on the way back to Huaxi Village, Liu Yunniang was still left behind all the way - this means that there is only one mountain road from Lefeng Town to Huaxi Village, otherwise Su Qingluan even suspected that Liu Yunniang could escape all the way.
Later, Liu Yunniang really disliked Su Qingluan's slow pace, so she simply carried everything on her shoulders, so that Su Qingluan could barely keep up with Liu Yunniang's pace.
In fact, although Su Qingluan's original body before time travel was a delicate young lady, her physical fitness was average. But since she traveled through time for half a year, she has been busy cooking or running around every day, and her physical strength has recovered a lot.
But even so, it cannot be compared with Liu Yunniang who knocked down the fake Taoist priest - at first glance, the fake Taoist priest was at least 1.8 meters tall, and he was not particularly thin.
Liu Yunniang was able to knock him down by sweeping his legs. In addition to using her strength and skill, her own strength and physical ability should not be underestimated.
In comparison, it seemed that Su Qingluan, a "normal person", was as weak as a rookie.
Su Qingluan and Liu Yuniang were just about to return with the Su family - before Su Guangfu and Yang could put down their things when they got home, Su Qingluan came back.
"Yun...Yun Niang...wait a minute..." Su Qingluan was out of breath and on the verge of crying, "I seem to be a little distracted!"
"Aren't you entering the village now? You go home and have a rest. Which house is your yard?" Liu Yunniang looked around curiously.
"The right...the one on the right...the fence gate..."
"Okay!" Seeing that Su Qingluan was really tired, Liu Yunniang turned around and asked, "How about you take a breath first and I'll send the things in?"
Su Qingluan shook her head: "It's only a few steps away..."
Just as the two girls were talking, Yang's voice came from beside them: "Da Ya, where are you from? Oh, isn't this Yun Niang from the Liu family? You bought so many things? Go home quickly !" Mrs. Yang smiled at Yun Niang.
Su Qingluan adjusted her breathing and said: "Auntie, Yun Niang came back with me. I bought these things too. She just helped me hold them... Ouch!" The last sound came from Yang who was angry. He slapped Su Qingluan on the back.
"Are you embarrassed to say that?" Mrs. Yang rolled her eyes at her daughter, "Why do you have to let Liu's girl help you carry the things you bought by yourself? You are easy on yourself, you are not burdened at all, and you are not allowed to bully others like this. Woolen cloth!"
"Hey, grandma, please let me go. I didn't bully Yun Niang! Can you let us go into the house first - Yun Niang is still carrying so many things!" Su Qingluan said with a grin.
After Su Qingluan's explanation, Yang finally stopped being angry. Liu Yunniang also promised very seriously: "Auntie, don't worry, as long as I am here, the work will be done properly and there will be no mistakes!"
Mrs. Yang sighed: "I don't know how my eldest girl's craftsmanship has caught the attention of noble people. You all say that you are working for these people. You must be careful not to be caught in the wrong way - otherwise the family will not be able to protect her. "
