Chapter 130 It's raining to harvest the grains
The slap in the face came so fast that Carpenter Liu was a little confused, "Well, then she is a woman."
“Are we going to do some shady work? It's broad daylight, everything is clear, what's wrong with women? What's wrong with men? We are recruiting workers, as long as they can do the work.”
Qin Yao raised her pen and said, "Qiao Yun has been selected. You can continue to choose. There are seven left."
Liu Carpenter had no objection and continued to choose seven people. The main thing was to have a bowl of water and Duan Ping, one from each family.
Over at Qin Yao, the quarrying team hired Uncle Jiu. Not only did he know how to build houses, he also had experience in quarrying. The team was full of young people who were too frivolous, so they had to be restrained by an old man.
After all, quarrying is very risky, and it is no joke to accidentally kill someone.
In the polishing team, Shunzi is considered as the default quota, and the remaining two people are from the uncle's family, one for each family.
The village was helpless and lamented.
Besides, after finishing work in the afternoon, she can still go home to weave and take care of the housework. It is really beautiful to think about it.
Mainly it was Sanlang who cried. Dalang and Erlang were almost bored to death by his crying, but they themselves were also very impatient.
There is also a big pot. He said that she could help Qin Yao borrow one first and then return it to him after the factory bought it.
There was a shout from behind. The twins turned around and saw that it was Aunt Zhou.
Only one person in the second family's family worked. She and her husband received a total of 660 taels of silver every month. After three months of saving, my God, it was almost 2 taels of silver!
Because of the construction of the factory, the entire Liujia Village was filled with unprecedented vitality. The old people in the village looked at the young people who were working enthusiastically, sitting under the old trees in the village well, and their eyes were red with smiles.
The villagers who were drying millet next to the village well shivered in unison. Sanlang and Siniang, who were playing with the children in the village, were also shocked. They ran to the corner to pick up the Cuju. When they turned around, they found that the big guy suddenly started running.
This rain is really hateful. It comes quickly and urgently. It rains for a while and then goes away. It has harmed countless farmers.
The wood was bought by Carpenter Liu, and cutting it by yourself would be cheaper by twenty cents. I thought that since there were many people, I would cut it by myself, and the cost would be saved a lot.
There was a thunder in the clear sky.
Just after harvesting the grains in the backyard, heavy rain poured down. Siniang just ran to the door and saw the grains in the front yard being soaked by the rain. Her mouth shrank and she wanted to cry.
He quickly agreed, carefully put away the money, and asked Qin Yao if there was anything special to say. She was sure it was correct, and went home happily.
Carpenter Liu led the carpenters to build the factory, while Qin Yao led the quarrying team into the mountains to quarry stone.
Dalang and Erlang and Sanlang were already gathering the sun-dried grains, but the children were weak and could not move faster than the rain. They were so anxious that they called their mothers and cried at the same time.
The moment Liu Fei rushed into the courtyard, Dalang and Erlang only felt that they saw light.
“I need two pots, one for cooking and one for cooking. I also need to prepare several large pottery basins to hold the dishes.”
Erlang pointed angrily at the bright sun above his head. Does it look like it just rained?
After so many years of troubled times, we have finally gotten through it today.
Qin Yao can go home and have white rice and meat for dinner. Knowing that He is rich in experience, Qin Yao nodded, "Then just follow what you said, sister-in-law."
The rain has already fallen, and there are so many grains drying in front and behind that it is impossible to harvest them all, so we can only grab a little bit.
Liu Fei raised his head when he heard the sound and saw the anxious look of the little girl. He strode over and said, "Let's go! Your mother-in-law went into the mountains to quarry stone and is not here."
Qin Yao didn't have any at home. They were all spread out to dry on the ground. It was just the last day before the last batch of millet was about to be dried. If it rained, it would be troublesome.
“Okay, then you think about the money for food and groceries, should I pay you every day and I buy it, or should we get it once every ten and a half days, which would save us all the trouble.”
And asked them to bring their own dishes and cutlery.
“Stop crying, crying makes me have a headache! Who knew it would rain!”
Siniang ran all the way to the grassland of the water mill. She searched everywhere but couldn't find her, so she shouted anxiously:
“It's raining! Go home and harvest the grains!”
They have mats for drying in the house. They use a wooden shovel to push the grains into the middle, close the mats and cover them up, and they are no longer afraid.
The stepmother entrusted them with such an important task. If they didn't handle it well, I don't know how she would be angry.
“Is Dalang Erlang here?”
After the personnel list was made out, Carpenter Liu continued to do his carpentry work, while Qin Yao went from door to door to inform them that they would gather at the factory site tomorrow morning.
“I'll have some oil and water at noon, add some shredded egg soup, and on the tenth I'll have meatloaf stew, that's almost it.”
“As for the dishes, white rice porridge, millet porridge, vegetable porridge, with multi-grain steamed buns will be fine in the morning.”
This day is really changing. In just a short while, a big dark cloud has drifted over, and thin raindrops fell, which scared the uncle and nephew to speed up their pace.
Liu Fei looked at the four in front of him and couldn't imagine what the third sister-in-law would look like when she went crazy, but it shouldn't be more scary than when she killed the bandit leader, right?
Liu Fei didn't even care about his niece. He told her to take her time and ran away first.
This food, she even said she was greedy for it, was already very good.
“It's going to rain, Sanlang, go and ask your mother-in-law to go home and harvest the grains!”
In the small courtyard on the hillside, Sanlang's cries became weaker and weaker - Erlang covered his mouth.
The remaining four members of the grinding team went from house to house in the village to collect wood. After collecting it, they went up the mountain to cut wood.
Giving the four little guys a look of self-seeking, Liu Fei twisted his clothes full of water and left.
People are not big, but they run fast, their body nutrition comes up, and her steps are very stable. In addition, they usually follow the two brothers to exercise with two brothers. Passersal only feels that a gust of wind drifts by.
He also came to Qin Yao's house after dinner as promised to count the number of people eating and determine the dishes.
Being able to make money is really different. He just felt like he was walking with wind and his waist was straight.
Qiu was naturally envious, but unfortunately she was pregnant, so she could only wait for the next opportunity.
Si Niang nodded. If she didn't call Niang, she could just call her uncle, and led Liu Fei home.
Sanlang was still confused, and Siniang rolled her eyes, gave the Cuju to her younger brother, and asked him to go home and tell his elder brother and second brother, and then she ran out of the village.
Early in the morning, before it gets bright, there are already various noises coming from the grassland at the entrance of the village.
Qin Yao went into the house to get some change, and gave He one tael first, "According to the standard we just mentioned, you can use it first and see how many days it lasts. Then we can calculate the average and we will talk about it."
A gust of wind blew, and Sanlang couldn't hold it in anymore. He grabbed his second brother's hand covering his mouth, and with a "sneeze" sound, he sneezed hard!
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from down the mountain, and the four brothers and sister all raised their heads, their eyes full of panic.
Qin Yao dismounted her horse and strode into the courtyard. She saw four little guys who were wet from the rain, sitting on the equally wet grain piles. They looked over in panic, as if they had done something wrong.
