Under Cheng Wanwan's sugar-coated bombardment, a group of children were quickly attracted.
At the age of five or six, they are not afraid of dogs, snakes, or soft bugs. A few children even caught bugs from the bucket and played with them in their hands.
Cheng Wanwan quickly hid away. She coughed and said, "Go look for bugs in the cotton field. Gently peel off the petals and take out the bugs. Don't hurt the flowers. If you are clumsy, there will be no sugar in the future." Eat the candy. Each person goes back to get a small bucket, put a little water in it, and throws the caught bugs into it. After that, he comes to the yard to count the money. Ten bugs can be exchanged for one penny."
The children's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ten worms are worth a penny, so if they find a lot of worms, they will have a lot of money, and their parents will definitely praise them.
Before Cheng Wanwan could continue to warn, the children ran away.
She smiled helplessly: "Xiaohai, go and watch the fields, lest these children are ignorant and hurt the cotton seedlings."
Wei Xiaohai was about to nod.
Cheng Jia said: "An Ren, leave this matter to us."
He inspected the vicinity of the village and found no suspicious people, nor any danger. The four of them really had nothing to do these days, and all wanted to do something within their capabilities. They had been contracted to chop firewood these days.
Cheng Wanwan naturally did not refuse and let the four of them go.
Mrs. Wu took a step forward and said, "Anren, after these children bring the insects back, the old slave will check the number and pay the wages."
Luliu followed: "After counting the insects, I will go to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks."
The remaining people arranged work for themselves.
Cheng Wanwan nodded with satisfaction. Because these people were from the capital, she did not arrange rough work in the countryside for the time being until they got used to it.
Unexpectedly, everyone was very proactive, learning to do menial tasks they didn’t know how to do, and rushing to do them. The yard at home was kept clean every day.
Mrs. Ma walked out of the house and said respectfully: "An Ren, the white fungus soup is ready on the stove. Can you have a bowl now?"
The servants in the yard looked at Mrs. Ma with envy. Everyone had their own skills, but after coming to Dahe Village, only Mrs. Ma could use her abilities every day, while they had no idea what to do.
Mrs. Qi, who is responsible for managing the yard, has a headache because the people in the yard are very self-conscious and do not need her to arrange work, so she can only take over the management of livestock, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats, pigs, cows, etc. There are enough livestock, she There is also some busy work.
Mrs. Wu and Luliu were also very bald. After taking inventory of the things in the warehouse, they had no work to do. It was not a problem to keep busy every day, so they consciously cleaned the house every day, once in the morning, once at noon, and again in the evening.
Mrs. Yang is even more depressed. She is good at medicine, but no one in the family is sick, so the hero has no place to play. She can only help Mrs. Ma stew soup and cook.
The people Yan Hong and Ning Lan were waiting for were following Cheng Wanwan to the fields every day. In the past few days, they had gotten to know a lot of crops...
Although the work in the village is harder than that in the city, they seem to live more comfortably.
There is no need to constantly try to figure out what the master's look means, there is no need to wonder whether the master's words are angry or not, and there is no need to stare at every movement of the master's eyes... In the past, I didn't do anything during the day, but my whole body was exhausted.
Now I work all day and sleep soundly at night.
Cheng Wanwan didn't know that these people were so worried. She sat under the shadow of the tree and drank the white fungus soup, feeling very comfortable.
No wonder rich people buy so many servants. It turns out that it is really comfortable to be waited on.
But now that there are many people in the family, eating every day is a big deal. The new servants and six craftsmen have enough food for twenty or thirty people in their own family.
Others who hired workers to work had three meals a day in the canteen of Lao Zhao's family.
The cafeteria of Lao Zhao's house was really too busy. With Sun Xiaolei gone, it was even more busy, so the old lady called Lin Yu'er and his wife who Cheng Wanwan had sent back to come over to help.
Last year, Lin Yu'er and Chen Erniu came to work in the soap workshop together, and then only Chen Erniu was left alone. After Lin Yu'er was sent back, she was blamed by the Lin family, and they hurriedly got married within a month, and they just got married last month.
The old lady also heard that the family she married into was very poor. After all, she was her own granddaughter. Since she had this opportunity, it would be great to help her.
Cheng Wanwan took a look. Last year, Lin Yu'er looked very unsteady. Now she saw her, but she was much calmer, chopping vegetables with quick movements.
Seeing Cheng Wanwan coming over, she called out "Auntie" with some embarrassment.
Cheng Wanwan smiled, said a few words and went out.
Today's markets are developing more and more well. Tourists come every day, and more and more people in the village come out to set up small stalls. Small stalls are very cheap, and the rent is only two cents a day. Some people who do not do long-term business are Willing to set up a stall.
Because it sells everything, it also attracts people from the neighboring villages such as Guihua Village and Wangjiadun to come and buy things.
The entrance to the village has also been re-planned and divided into two roads. One leads to the residential area of the village. Outsiders need to register to enter, and the other leads to the market, which can be entered without registration.
Standing at the entrance of the village, you can see the four-entry courtyard that was slowly built.
In just ten days, the yard has begun to take shape. Hundreds of workers are working together, which can be said to be different every day.
"This yard is so beautiful." Cheng Yuanyuan couldn't help but admire while holding a hoe. "When the yard is completed, I will help you plant flowers."
Cheng Wanwan turned his head and saw that his eldest sister's mental state was much better than before, and her whole person had a different spirit.
She smiled and said: "The courtyard where I live now is for my eldest sister and eldest sister. How about it?"
"That's not possible!" Cheng Yuanyuan waved her hand, "I've saved all the wages you gave me. Once I save a few taels of silver, I can ask someone to help me build an adobe house. Three rooms will be enough..."
"Sister, this house of mine was not given for free." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "It cost about one hundred taels of silver to build, and I have lived in it for more than half a year. Let's count it as eighty taels of silver. I know that eldest sister will buy it now. If you can't afford it, then half a tael of silver will be deducted from your salary every month... I originally planned to give my eldest sister half a tael of silver in salary increase, so I won't increase it, how about that?"
Cheng Yuanyuan sighed, not knowing what to say at all.
She was a girl who used to be sarcastic and picky, but now she always wants to win over her mother's family and not only give her a long-term business, but also give her a house for free... Hey, she will never repay this debt in her life. Not sure.
