Yu Qinniang asked Mrs. Xu: "Mom, have you asked the boy in Caotan Village?"
"I asked a few questions last night about your breasts, and that your uncle and cousin didn't come back either."
Yu Qinniang breathed a sigh of relief: "That means we haven't finished our work yet."
"hope so."
What Mrs. Xu and Yu Qinniang didn't know was that at this time, the Xu family's eldest son was already driving home from the county. They had finished the work, but there were no "three you" among the people on the bus.
The real old lady of the Xu family was making a fuss: "Stop, I want to get out of the car."
Uncle Xu waved to the coachman to indicate that it was time to go, and at the same time persuaded: "Mom, the rain has finally subsided, and it is not easy to find a bicycle. That's it, we have to walk for a few hours. You Get off the car at this time, how do we go back, how many days do we want to go?"
The only boy in the eldest uncle's family had a book and advised him: "Mistress, don't worry about the three cousins. They are all young men, and they are all arranged by the master of the farm in Yuanwai's family. Can they be lost? I can't prepare for it." Home."
It's okay if you don't explain, but the more you explain, the angrier the old lady becomes.
She could understand that the orchard work did not require so many people, and she wanted to fight for the last few spots. There was no danger and she could earn more. So why not fight for it?
The two men decided to attack themselves first.
That's okay too.
But where are your nephew and your three cousins who have broken bones but still have tendons attached, and what kind of work they did for more than a month? You don't want to ask?
Then he fooled her and when she didn't tell the truth, he just said to go home first.
She thought that the three eldest grandsons were already waiting at the gate of the tower, but she didn't realize that no one was there.
Without asking, she knew that the boss had deceived her into getting on the bus first because he didn't want to waste time, food fare, or go back to find someone with her.
The old lady was disappointed in her heart. She bowed and kowtowed to the old lady when she was old, and rubbed her legs when she was there. What was she thinking?
Uncle Xu could tell that my mother was angry, so he backed down and said, "If the nephews don't come home after a few days, I'll come out to look for them again."
The old lady had to endure the words: These are either biological fathers or biological brothers.
If it were your own son, how long would you wait?
But she couldn't say it.
Since her health was deteriorating day by day and she could no longer lose her temper as she did when she was young, she still had to hope to survive at her eldest son's house.
Today is also the last day for the three eldest grandsons, whom the old lady misses a lot, to work as helpers.
The three brothers did not blame their uncle and cousin for taking away their fruit-picking work.
Because the three of them were later assigned jobs by the village owner, they earned more money.
Xu Youliang and his youngest brother Xu Youyin were doing corvee work for two merchants in the city.
Serving as corvee is an obligation that every family in this county must bear, and they must work for the court for free. The task assigned this year is to clean the sinus canals. Unless there is an official or scholar in the family, the exemption will be reduced.
Therefore, some wealthy families do not want their sons to have to pay for dirty work. Each quota is five taels of silver, and the owner's son is the small official in charge of this aspect.
The son of the village owner accepted five taels for each quota and then found someone to replace him, and distributed three taels of silver to each person who actually worked.
Three taels, you still have to eat.
The taller and taller boy, Xu Youcang, found a job and earned more than his elder brother and younger brother.
He followed the team into the woods to carry wood.
Others can carry at most two to three hundred kilograms in one trip, and only carry fifty or sixty logs in more than ten trips a day. He can carry twice as many logs as others, and he can carry them from dawn until he can no longer see the road.
The dealer said, whoever works more will earn more.
Isn't that right? When Xu Youcang came down this time, he grabbed the two vegetable dumplings he was given and ate them in big gulps. He excitedly asked the steward who was counting: "Shopkeeper, how much money do I have?"
"You boy, it will cost you six taels to raise two more coins. You are really capable. I have rarely seen this in all the years I have been here. However, you still have to listen to your uncle's advice and don't work too hard. You don't think anything about it now. How many people are old? After getting injured, the backbone was bent, and some people fell down on the kang and could not get up again."
Xu Youcang grinned and laughed and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper. I'll stop working if I can get enough six taels. I'll go to the city to find my second brother and my younger brother tomorrow."
When the three brothers came out for this trip, they didn't spend much of the taels of silver their mother brought to the waiter.
I can still give twelve more taels of silver to my mother, how happy I am.
