The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 690

Xiao'an Village is noisy.

Li Xuemei's eyes were turning blue. She had been communicating in three parties last night. After writing a letter to Heng'er, Xiao Ya'er was hungry again in the middle of the night. After feeding the child and going to sleep, she felt that she had just squinted her eyes for a while before she was woken up by the noise outside. .

The boys who came to identify the door went back last night to report that a convoy carrying grain entered the village before dawn today.

The Yan family and the Cui family live in front of each other, and they can hear it very brightly.

Li Xuemei hurriedly wiped her face, combed her hair, and after getting dressed, she picked up the sleeping child and tied it in front of her with the help of Grandma Rong.

Xiao Ya'er yawned a little, her eyes half-open, and looked like she was about to wake up. Li Xuemei quickly weighed her arms, hugged her with one hand, and patted her gently with the other. Soon the child fell asleep again. Heartless.

As for the noise, it doesn't matter. I used to live in the city. There was a shop in the front and charcoal was piled in the backyard across a wall. There were more people coming and going every day, and hawkers hawking on the street occasionally passed by. Little Ya'er had already You have developed the ability to turn a deaf ear and eat when you should and sleep when you should.

Li Xuemei asked Grandma Rong to open the front and back doors of the yard to facilitate the entry and exit of people and vehicles.

She went out through the back door and went directly to Cui's house.

The cat followed step by step, staring at strangers with a pair of glass-like vertical pupils, and irritating anyone who came near.

"Brother and sister, why are you here? Look at this. I didn't expect them to come so fast. I was thinking why not tomorrow. Little Ya'er is asleep. Oh, this little darling is really caring. Let's all be careful. "Speak, don't disturb the child." Mrs. Cui's voice suddenly dropped.

"Her aunt, the waiter will have to come back later, and her godfather is here too." Li Xuemei pulled the person aside and whispered that the young master of the British royal family was coming to stay at her house.

Ms. Cui uttered an ouch and quickly closed her mouth, puckering her lips tightly.

He asked cautiously: "Then we, we, do we have to pretend not to know? When the prince came for the first time, didn't he just pay a private visit incognito? That's what the play says. It's hard for a noble person to let anyone know when he goes out. ."

Ms. Cui was quite touched. Her brother and sister didn't tell anyone else about such a big thing. They told her first. What is this? This is kiss!

“I don't care about the people in our village, I can trust them all, even the people outside...” Li Xuemei glanced at the grain truck in Cui's courtyard.

Ms. Cui understands instantly.

He solemnly said: "Brothers and sisters, don't worry, I will go to the village chief to take the people away in a moment. Our family is looking at all the busy work today, and I am afraid that we will not be able to do the work in the fields. I will call everyone and ask them to move." Just move it, the big dog and the little dog will stand in the front and back of your yard, no outsiders are allowed in."

"It's not necessary." Li Xuemei said hurriedly: "When the waiter comes back, I will tell her to let the child stay in the house as much as possible, otherwise he can take him out. We won't talk about changing into the clothes we country children wear. , no one would have thought he was that family's child.”

“Medium! Medium!”

The Luo family was full of people.

There are two tables in the main room. Mr. Kang, now affectionately called Old Man Kang by the villagers, is leading a few elegant middle-aged men to make lists.

There were three groups of people standing in the yard.

One group consisted of old men and women from various families in the village. They were looking at the other two groups standing in the courtyard with weak eyesight. Their cloudy old eyes were shining with joy, and their faces were full of smiles. From time to time, they craned their necks to look into the main room expectantly.

The men, women, and children standing on one side of the quarry, although there was a precedent, and the current situation of the Kang family was particularly eye-catching, but the sudden change to an unfamiliar environment still did not allow them to let down their wariness, so they were all silent. Silently, he stood quietly in a corner.

There is another group, all young and strong men, ranging in age from seventeen or eighteen to thirty years old.

These are the strong laborers that Xiaoan Village exchanged for cattle from various villages and towns in Huju.

The leasing of farm cattle was handled by the Boy Scouts. These boys dared to walk and follow the men sent by Yan Laoer to recruit soldiers. The cattle were also held in hand. Seeing is believing. The lease of cattle was really based on the contract they had prepared. After pressing the fingerprint, the cow can be pulled away on the spot. There is nothing unbelievable about this.

Even if the child was murmuring when he first saw them, after someone successfully rented the cow, it became a small detail that didn't need to be taken care of.

Yan Yu made it clear to her children that cattle are valuable and cannot be rented out blindly. For the first one, the village chief must be the guarantor.

Don't know the basics, and if you let any family sell or kill their prostitutes for meat, they will suffer a huge loss.

The deed must also clearly state how much the cow eats in a day and when to feed it. It cannot be done when a cow is plowing the field without rest. In other words, it is to ensure the health of the cow.

Then, they only exchanged young laborers, and a family could only produce one person, and they did not want any more.

These young and strong laborers who are paid for the cattle rent will keep the cattle as long as their village needs them. When the people come back, they will be taken away by the cattle. By then, if the cattle have lost too much weight, or they have used too much force, what will happen? Yes, don't blame them for coming to your door and refusing to let go.

Let Yan Yu explain this.

The Scouts were very thorough in their execution.

This is all the result of countless trainings.

Children's understanding of Qingzhuang is probably a little different from Yan Yu's.

Yan Yu believes that both men and women can do farm work in the fields, and some women are no worse than men.

But in the children's minds, they must be talented people who can marry a wife in their 17s or 18s. There are also old men in their forties who are no longer good at work. How can their cows be exchanged for half the labor? They must be replaced. Yes, really strong!

Okay, Yan Laoer didn't expect that the biggest obstacle to his recruitment was not that he forgot to bring cash to show off to seduce people, but that the various benefits he received for recruiting soldiers were not attractive to the farmers. force.

Go away together.

Except for the men who were originally in the militia, the rest of the young men actively or passively chose to pay their rent with their bodies.

Why do you say passive? Even if I have other thoughts, I have to succumb to the eyes of my family who are eager to farm cattle.

This group of young men is obviously very reserved.

A few young men left the old men and women in Xiaoan Village at a loss.

That look in his eyes is so hot!

Waiting for Old Man Kang and the others to finally sort out the people.

Village Chief Luo began to roll call.

It was at this time that Yan Yu returned to the village.

The big dog was squatting in the gate of Yan's house. He saw several carriages coming from a distance, and his brows were furrowed.

I looked around, but didn't look at the food.

Just as I was muttering, I looked at the car following behind me. It was the car delivering fish to the waiter!

The waiter is back!

The big dog's eyes lit up and he ran a few steps forward. He remembered his mission and couldn't leave this place, so he stopped moving forward.

When the waiter finally came out, Dagouzi shook his hands vigorously and began to make gestures with his hands.
