27. Chapter 27 Building a house

Villagers have lived like this for generations, so the people here know that this kind of life is hard, but few people complain, because no one wants to go outside and have a look. Ancient people are different from modern people. They attach great importance to it.

The word "home" means that working in the city is already their limit. If you go to a place farther away, if you pay them to go there, they will have to consider it very carefully.

Ruixue had some concerns in her heart, so she asked Xuejian to take her back. After passing the village, Ruixue found that the children who had been playing before were all gone. She felt strange in her heart. Xuejian had already sharply spotted the tall carriage in front of her house. It was her mother.

He came back and jumped up happily, "Sister, my mother and Aunt Qiao are back."

Ruixue and Xuejian ran home quickly, and saw two men moving things back and forth from the carriage to the yard. Li Jinhua was directing the two men, while Qiao Zi took some candies bought from the city to share.

After receiving the candies for the children who came to see the fun, the children were still unwilling to leave and stood outside to watch the fun.

"Mom..." Ruixue and Xuejian walked into the yard.

"Xue'er (Xue Jian) ​​is back, where have you been?" Li Jinhua and Qiao Zi asked at the same time.

"We went to the village and walked around each other." Ruixue replied.

"Come on, Xue'er, Xuejian, come here and get some candies." Qiao Zi greeted Ruixue and Xuejian.

"Okay." Ruixue walked over and saw Xuejian standing there a little shyly, looking at the candy Qiao Zi put aside. Although her eyes were eager, she didn't dare to go forward and get it.

"Xuejian, come here." Ruixue grabbed a handful of candy and put it in Xuejian's hand.

"Thank you, sister." Xuejian looked up at his mother, saw her smiling and nodding, and then accepted it with a smile. This shows that Li Jinhua is usually very strict with his tutoring.

"Mom, did you just invite two people to come back to help?" Seeing that there were only two men, Rui Xue asked Qiao Zi.

"No, there are still more than twenty workers. Because the carriage can't fit, we only brought two men with us, and the rest came on foot." Qiao Zi shook her head, "Half of the workers are from our village who went out to work.

Strong men, when you come back soon, you will also get to know everyone. From now on, we are all from the same village, and you will see each other even if you look up and look down."

"I know, mother."

Two men, one surnamed Li and one surnamed Wang, were both villagers from Jinxiu Village. When they were waiting for work at the labor station in the city, Li Jinhua took Qiao Zi over. Seeing that they were from her own village who wanted to build a house, she asked Jin

How many workers are needed to make flowers? The more workers the better, and the wages are twice as much as usual. Without saying a word, I call all the men in my village who are free. They work outside and at home, and they can also watch.

It would be better to go to your family, and then ask some friends from other villages to buy the necessary things and take a carriage to Jinxiu Village first.

This man named Li is a furniture maker. Because he is very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, he usually has a say in the village. He is also very prestigious among a group of men working outside. In Jinhua's words, he takes the lead.

, Qiao Zi, this house was not only built quickly but also the quality is guaranteed.

When workers are invited to work, food is usually included. Qiao Zi bought a lot of meat and looked at the pile of things in the yard. Jin Hua suggested that Qiao Zi ask a few hard-working women in the village to help.

Let them make some extra money, and secondly, it can also take the opportunity to get closer to everyone.

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Jinhua. It's all up to you." Qiao Zi agreed politely.

"Why are you so polite? Don't be polite to me. Xuejian, come here and call Aunt Li, Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Liu to come over and ask them to help." Jin Hua waved to Xue Jian and asked him to invite him.

people.

"Okay." Xue Jian ran away quickly.

After a while, several women from the fields rushed over. Li and Wang were the mothers-in-law of the man named Li and the man named Wang who had returned to the village early. They were all very happy when they saw their men.

Jinhua called four women to him and told them about helping them. They would get food every day, and each of them could get twenty coppers as wages. But they were so happy that they agreed one after another. You know what the men do in a day.

The salary is only forty cash.

From the way Qiao Zi went to the city to buy meat today, Li Jinhua already knew that she was not short of money for the time being, so she paid wages to the women of the Li family so generously. These women were not only the best in the village, they were also

The man is also a relatively promising man in the village. If we establish a good relationship, it will definitely be beneficial to get along with him in the future.

Qiao Zi only let Jinhua make the decision, and gave Jinhua fifty taels of silver, asking her to use it as she pleased, and ask her to get it when she was done with it. Don't save money. As long as she thought it was good, just spend it without having to talk to her.

explain.

Jinhua is a real woman. Seeing Qiao Zi trusting her so much, she couldn't help but shed a few tears of emotion.

After the four women arrived, they immediately packed up. Noon was coming soon, and it was probably too late to cook for another twenty people. Everyone had to work after lunch, so Jinhua suggested making pancakes for everyone at noon.

Everyone has no objection to eating, because when you go to work in other people's homes, they also eat pancakes.

After a while, the rest of the men came. The foot strength of these men was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Just as the pancakes were almost done, Jinhua took out her own pickles and pancakes for everyone to eat, because there was no room.

After sitting down, everyone stood in the courtyard, but no one cared about this.

Ruixue and Xuejian were sitting on the doorstep holding a piece of pancake and munching on it. While looking at the men in the courtyard, they suddenly noticed that many men were secretly peeking at their mothers.

Because she didn’t know these people, she couldn’t tell for the time being whether their last names were from the same village or not, and everyone’s eyes were more about admiring beauty and not having any evil intentions, so Ruixue didn’t say anything and just looked at those people secretly.

I wrote down Qiao Zi's face as a man. If it's purely for appreciation, that's it. If something comes to mind, don't blame her for being cruel.

After simply eating, the man surnamed Li asked the men from the village to go back and say hello to his family, and then he was going to go up the mountain to cut down trees and carry things needed for building a house. The Li family was preparing dinner. When they saw most of the pork

At that time, everyone was stunned. Is this what to make for dinner?

Since vegetables are rare in the north, Qiao Zi only bought ordinary Chinese cabbage, and then bought half a pig, and then rice, flour and other things. She was once a child of a poor family, so she naturally had some feelings for the poor.

It's a pity, so I didn't save much when I went to the city to buy things. Workers are already hard at work. If they don't eat better, their bodies will not be able to bear it in the long run. Look at this group of men, they are actually in their thirties or forties.

, but many people’s waists are already bent, and they look older than their actual age. This is the result of long-term work but malnutrition. Villagers have been like this for generations, so the people here know that this is the case.

Life is hard, but few people complain, because no one wants to go outside and take a look. People in ancient times are different from people in modern times. They attach great importance to the word home. Going to the city to work is already their limit.

If you pay them to go to a place, they will have to consider it very carefully.
