Building a house is exhausting both mentally and physically. After working for so long, the two families haven't even had time to take a good rest. The wheat in the fields is already ripe, and there really is no room for laziness.
The old man Ye Tou put it all together and decided to hire someone to harvest it.
A man was paid forty cents, and ten strong men were hired to harvest the goods in a furious manner.
This is different from the helpers who build a house. It is a purely employment relationship. There is no need to care about affection and there is no need to take care of the food. Naturally, the wages cannot be reduced.
The work in the fields does not require the women in the family, so the old Qian family, the young Qian family and others are naturally happy, especially the young Qian family, who walks around the village with their young son in their arms in the afternoon.
She said that Liu Jin couldn't stay at home and loved to watch the scene outside. In fact, she deliberately showed off in front of the villagers.
Because she was Ye Xusheng's biological mother, even if the people in the village couldn't stand her sweet talk, they couldn't help but flatter her. Xiao Qian became even more proud and wandered around outside.
It's just a bitter experience for Ye Feifeng. Although she no longer needs to weed pigs or feed cattle. Old Ye Tou does it all by himself, but her work continues to increase.
The hygiene of the front yard is pretty good, the blue brick floor is very clean and it is not difficult to clean.
But the laundry alone was tiring for her, including the dirty clothes from the big room, her brother's clothes, and diapers. There were also two sacks of beans to pick up every day, and Ye Feifeng was in unspeakable misery.
There's nothing she can do about it, who asked her to be an inconspicuous girl?
In this era of filial piety, even if Ye Feifeng was resentful towards her mother, there was nothing she could do.
Every time she saw He Xiner and Wang Jinling dressed up and playing around with Dabai, Ye Feifeng felt itchy with hatred, as if He Xiner had done something to her.
He Xiner knew nothing about this, and even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart.
She has not been idle all this time, but Ye Feifeng doesn't know it. Her focus is different from normal people.
The family hired people to do the work, so her mother and the others were not needed. However, it was a hot day and the men in the family were sweating profusely in the fields. It was very hard, so the mother and the family naturally had to do a good job in providing logistical support.
Mrs. Wang saw the weather changing her ways to cook, while He Xiner and her little cousin wore straw hats to deliver water to the masters, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
The men who worked all said that the old Ye family was benevolent and righteous. They were used to drinking river water. Seeing that little sister He Xiner was very particular about bringing teapots and bowls to them, they felt happy and became more energetic in their work.
Work hard.
The large ceramic kettle is very heavy, and it is even heavier when filled with tea. Plus, the tea bowl is left behind, making it very difficult to carry.
He Xiner didn't want to make herself embarrassed and tired, so she found a small bamboo basket to put the things in, and then asked Dabai Ancestor to hunch down, and she only needed to hold him by his side.
In Ye Feifeng's eyes, her operation turned into a joke.
That afternoon, the two little sisters went home after delivering tea under the bright sun. They were sweating profusely from the heat, as if they had been washed off with water. After the sweat was collected, the two of them couldn't wait to run into the bathroom to take a bath and change clothes.
"Sister Xin'er, let's go to the river to wash clothes and play there for a while."
"Listen to my little ancestor."
"Giggle..."
He Xiner has never gone to the river to wash her clothes since she was pushed into the river. Now, she is not afraid of following Dabai Ancestor.
The two sisters carried the wooden basin, chatted and laughed, and took Dabai out of the house.
It's not yet midnight, the sun is still hot, and there are many cool-hungry kids playing by the river. He Xiner only glanced at them without paying attention.
"Sister Xin'er, I saw sister Xiaolian."
The child Wang Jinling cheered in surprise, causing He Xiner to silently roll her eyes.
The little cousin’s expression of excitement at meeting old friends is simply amazing~ This chapter has been completed!
