Chapter 87 Labor Force

Jiang Zhiluo felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and there was an indescribable sourness in her eyes.

She blinked her eyes and suppressed many complicated emotions.

Start eating quietly.

Even if he has no memory of his previous life, even if he has a cold and indifferent temperament in this life, he still has a gentle side.

She knew he was good.

It's no wonder that Chen Huadie wanted to pull him down from the altar and wanted him to have the seven human emotions and six desires.

Jiang Zhiluo stretched out her hand to take the white flour pastry, and her fingers accidentally touched Cui Hejin's cool fingers, which gave her a feeling of numbness and electric shock.

He always has a different influence on her.

Mrs. Cui looked at her son and was very happy that she knew how to take care of her daughter-in-law. The smile almost overflowed from her eyes.

She felt that her son treated Zhi Luo a little differently.

Jiang Zhiluo lowered her head and ate quietly.

When the food in the bowl is almost eaten, Cui Hejin will give her another dish.

This meal was almost eaten under Cui Hejin's care.

She felt warm and a little embarrassed.

Because Mrs. Cui is still there.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cui didn't look at her.

Mrs. Cui was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be uncomfortable, so she kept her head down while eating, but the corners of her mouth were raised high.

Oh, she was really happy. Even when she was eating, the food tasted delicious and she had a strong appetite.

After having a full meal, Cui Hejin helped pack things. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to school.

Before he went out, he still looked at Jiang Zhiluo worriedly and said, "Don't use force with your hands, and don't touch the water."

At this time, Jiang Zhiluo nodded very obediently and said: "Okay."

Cui Hejin gave a few more instructions before going out.

Jiang Zhiluo discussed with Mrs. Cui: "Mom, if we build a house, should we ask the villagers for help? How are we usually arranged?"

Jiang Zhiluo didn't know much about building houses in the village.

Mrs. Cui said: "Usually you need to hire carpenters and masons. If you build a house, you will be paid every day. Then you need to ask the villagers to help and take care of the food."

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned, "Aren't you going to pay the villagers?"

Mrs. Cui said: "With the conditions in Donghe Village, everyone is building and repairing houses, but how can we afford wages? We all help each other, and we only need to provide lunch and dinner."

This is also something Mrs. Cui learned after she came to the village.

Jiang Zhiluo wanted to pay her wages, but after thinking about it, if she paid her wages and took care of the food, she would break the customs and rules of the village.

If someone builds another house, will everyone in the village get paid?

Many people may not be able to save even a tael of silver after working hard for a year.

Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and said, "Mom, tell me, if we don't care about food, can we just pay wages?"

"I feel that if you are in charge of the food, you will have to hire a lot of people, and you will have to worry a lot just to take care of the food. It is better to pay the workers and save trouble, so as not to break the rules of the village."

Mrs. Cui's expression changed and she said, "Zhi Luo, you are still thoughtful."

"This is also the case in other villages. If you are willing to pay wages, you can ignore the food."

"In fact, everyone is more willing to ask for wages, but the conditions of the people in the village are not very good. If we can't get wages, we just take care of the food."

"In fact, the food I eat is very ordinary. The staple food is multi-grain corn buns, and the vegetables are all grown in my own land."

"There are at most one or two pieces of meat on a plate."

When Jiang Zhiluo heard this, she knew what she was thinking, "Mom, what do you think is a reasonable salary for us to pay per day?"

Mrs. Cui said: "I have inquired about it. In those big villages, people with good conditions do not pay wages for food. They only pay ten cents a day at most."

In a village like Donghe Village, no one pays for wages, so everyone helps each other and works for free.

Jiang Zhiluo was a little surprised when she heard ten cents.

But think about the people who carry goods on the docks and do hard work as long-term workers for wealthy families. Their wages are only twenty or thirty cents a day at most.

There are too many idle manpower at this time, and labor is very cheap.

Moreover, during the off-farm time, so many laborers want to go to towns and counties to find work, but they can't find any work.

No matter how hard you work, no one will use it.

Jiang Zhiluo did the math and said: "Mom, after we bought the land, we only had eighteen taels of silver in our hands. But not counting the money for hiring craftsmen, just asking the villagers to help build a house. Calculated at ten cents a day, we

You can invite more people and try to build the house as soon as possible."

Mrs. Cui thought about it and said: "Well, if we don't care about the food, we can invite more people. We can discuss these with Li Zheng. Your Aunt Zhu's father and brother are good at carpentry. They also know masons, so you can invite them.

help."

"How much is a good day's wages?"

"Like a carpenter and mason, if you don't care about food, you can probably make fifty cents a day."

Jiang Zhiluo knew that Zhu's natal family was in Xingshan Village, and she also thought of her parents.

If you are thinking about building a house, you can also talk to your parents.

She hadn't visited her parents' house for a long time. She also missed her parents, brothers and sisters a little, and wondered how they were doing.

And now that her family's life is better, she can't help but miss them.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo was a little distracted, Mrs. Cui's mind was quick, and she suddenly thought of something and said: "Zhiluo, there is nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, and we are also thinking of inviting more people to come over to do work, maybe using people from Xingshan Village.

Why don't you go back to your parents' home and visit your parents?"

"Fathers and mothers can't help but miss their daughters. When you go home and see them, you can feel more at ease."

"It just so happens that your grandma Zhao brought some white flour dumplings and a few more. I will put them in a basket for you and you can take them back to your parents to eat."

At this time, it was popular to bring white dough dumplings in a basket when going out.

With that said, Mrs. Cui started preparing things for Jiang Zhiluo.

Jiang Zhiluo was grateful to Mrs. Cui.

There was no refusal.

Mrs. Cui prepared six white flour dumplings and a basket of eggs for her, with a large piece of marinated braised pork on top.

The braised pork has been braised before and is hung on the eaves to dry.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui and wanted to say something.

Mrs. Cui waved her hand and said with a smile: "Talk to your family more, don't be in a hurry to come back. I will go and talk to Li Zheng in the afternoon about hiring people to build a house."

Jiang Zhiluo smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, thank you!"

She is truly grateful to Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui's eyes were hot, "Silly boy, we are all a family, what can I say thank you to my mother?"

She also has a daughter, but when the Cui family was exiled, her daughter was already married and did not need to be exiled.

But the Cui family is no longer the Cui family before. Even if the daughter is not exiled, she may still be affected.

I don't know what happened.

She was afraid that she would be wronged and there would be no one to help or protect her.

She was very worried and sometimes woke up in the middle of the night.
