Chapter 035. Reputation

Autumn harvest is a physical job. Ordinary people have never exercised and can get exhausted after two days of busyness.

It is difficult to entertain long-term workers and short-term workers who are hired.

It is not uncommon for those who deliberately waste food.

The five long-term workers and ten short-term workers found by the Zhong family not only work quickly and seriously, but also have a little more careful action, in order to prevent waste of food. Otherwise, how can they be worthy of the treatment of the boss and the salary they give them?

In Zhong Qian'an's opinion, the enthusiasm of these people to work is even more emotional: "...it's all for your father!"

Just last night.

He dreamed of his deceased father and told him: "...If you want to take it, you must give it first!"

Now I can still clearly remember what I said at that time: "...There are many long-term and short-term workers in the family, and I can't force anything to do. Instead, I slowly straighten my temper according to their wishes, which will be of great help to our family's autumn harvest!"

Zhong Qian'an recalled the soft murmur in his heart: "...After harvesting the food, let them take it home to settle the old and young people first, as our family gave it to us, and spread the reputation of kindness among these long-term workers and short-term workers. It is best to let them talk about our family, so just praise them!" He paused slightly, and he nodded slowly and said his father's advice: "...It's the same as if our family is stupid!"

I only talked for a while, but I didn't know what it meant in my dream at that time. When I woke up the next day, I thought about it and felt a little cold sweat on my back: "...Isn't the old man at home, it's not half a year since I finished the funeral?"

I dreamed twice or three times in my dreams this month. If I think about it, I obviously still care about family affairs!

Swallowed.

Zhong Qian'an touched his heart: "When the autumn harvest is over... I have to find a witch to come and comfort me."

There is a difference between humans and ghosts, even if you know that your old man is worried about his home: "But just coming home... can it be a matter?" As afternoon approached, looking at the long-term workers who were working hard, he shouted: "Let's rest for a while!"

As the sun is getting higher and higher, although the autumn sun is not as hot as summer, it is also very baked like a stove!

Take a break and don’t really affect the farm work if heatstroke is affected.

"The boss...is almost finished cutting this piece of land!"

"We're going to take a break after the cut?"

But after he said that the long-term workers did not leave, but were still working.

He held the sickle and cut the wheat straws, and carefully picked them up into bundles, and piled them in acre of fields with only a little wheat stubble behind him. Then he waved his sickle and continued to move forward, and continued to work hard against the sun above his head.

The three Zhong brothers who were also holding sickles beside him all looked shocked at this time.

Including others.

The long-term workers and short-term workers in the surrounding fields are already carrying things to go back and take a break.

After all, at noon, the sun on your head is still pressing down. You don’t have to work so hard for other people’s food, right?

Seeing the busy appearance of Zhong’s family, everyone was a little surprised: “What’s wrong with these people?” Someone was sneering softly: “Are you crazy about losing your heart?” Seeing this, it was like the one who gave it to your own home!

The long-term workers and short-term workers hired by the Zhong family ignored these people and continued to work diligently with the wheat straw.

Especially those ten short-term workers.

When others say it, they become more and more excited and very diligent.

They are trying to make a good impression in front of their boss. At this time of the coming year, they will continue to come over to harvest wheat and work for their own thin fields. It is better to go out and work as a short-term worker for two or three days and earn more copper coins to support their family!

At this time, Zhong Qian'an looked at this scene and suddenly thought of the old man's words in his dream last night: "If you want to get it, you must give it first!" He felt even more thoughtful: "...What's wrong, my father is still worried about the family. Some things can be dreamed of for me, perhaps just to make my family live a better life... so as to give me the guidance of the current patriarch of the Zhong family?!"

It's true that I think so. Zhong Cheng did give him some advice. Otherwise, the long-term workers and short-term workers hired at home would not work so hard. I guess if I don't keep a close eye on it, I will start to get into foreign workers in a slack way!

People are lazy and have no coercion and temptation. How can they really work hard?

What's more, the work of autumn harvest is not simply about harvesting wheat.

It also needs to be left to thresh the ears on these wheat straws, and then spread them on the flat ground to dry them. After dehydration and storage, they will be put into the granary at home. After these are busy, they are all the work that long-term workers need to be responsible for.

Including transportation, otherwise the Zhong family’s land would not have to hire ten more short-term workers.

Thinking of this.

Zhong Qian'an also had a little thought about the dream last night: "Everyone stop first!"

Looking at the harvest of most of the land, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Let's go home to rest for more than half an hour. When the afternoon passes, he will work. It's so hot, don't get heated up!" As he said, he said, "Then we will work happily now. When we go home in the evening, we will get some newly harvested food and give it to our family to try it out!"

This immediately made the workers in the field stunned: "...What's the matter?" They all went out to work for many years, including those experienced workers. This is the first time they heard that after finishing their work, they could get some food to go home first!

Even if there were those who took home food, except for the scattered things they picked up in the end, they would not have been able to take care of them.

There is no one who says he will give food before he finishes his work.

Even the old man Sun, who knew the honest and honest family of the Zhong family, looked up and didn't understand: "...What does the boss mean?" He had a good relationship with Zhong Qian'an, so he took the initiative to ask: "Why... give us food first?"

Zhong Qian'an still looked generous: "Everyone works for our Zhong family, get some new grain back and tastes it for the family?" As he said that, he also reminded the second son Zhong Qian and third son Zhong Qiandeng, who were also confused by the other side, and said: "When you go back tonight, you will get a bag of grain for everyone at long-term workers. This is a gift from our Zhong family this year!"

This was the only temporary worker who was very grateful: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" If it weren't for the lack of land at home and there was not enough food, who would have come to other people's houses to work hard during the autumn harvest?

If you can meet such a generous and considerate boss, these short-term workers have a little more dividend in their eyes!

certainly.

Also included in the surroundings, those long-term and short-term workers who were originally watching the fun.

His eyes widened at Zhong Qian'an: "This man... is a fool?" They whispered: "How do you return the food to us short-term workers?" Someone even muttered: "Can't you... you don't think we... are too poor?"

This seems to have found some clues: "The Zhong family was born in a farmer after all!"

"That's right, he is a farmer!"

Some experienced old servants spoke: "It is said that the old man from the Zhong family was poorer than us at the time!"

They said, with a little respect and caution in their tone: "Look at the current Zhong family, which has irrigated land and dry fields, and there are two cows at home. How good is this life?" Including those who said sarcastic words before, they changed their words: "No wonder there are immortals coming over. It is said that even monsters can't do anything to them. The Zhong family is honest and must be blessed by God!"

Some words are said slowly, as long as there is some guidance or need, they will become beneficial or harmful. However, for the current reputation of the Zhong family, it is obviously beneficial, especially those servants who see the real benefits.

Not only the long-term workers and short-term workers in the Zhong family said good things, but the other long-term workers said good things.

This is the factor of the overall environment.

If you say bad things, not only will it be unpleasant, but what if you don’t hire someone next year, what if you don’t hire yourself?

After all, when the men who worked in the autumn harvest this year, each of them carried two or three bags of food back after the work was over, which was enough for the whole family to eat for two or three months. They were all envious in their hearts. Why don’t they want to go over to help next year?

What's more, the Zhong family has become landlords, and their future will never be limited. It's not bad to flatter you!

The autumn harvest has been busy for less than ten days.

As the end was approaching, the Zhong family's reputation was spread a lot with the time-honored workers returning.

For Zhong Cheng in the ancestral hall, this is just the beginning: "When the reputation is out, you can slowly cultivate your family and develop towards the gentry's path..." He nodded with satisfaction: "At least you need to have some fame in the ten miles of towns."

When his countryside surrounds the city and his grandchildren grow up, will he still be able to develop in the county town?
