Li Yue stepped forward and read the content on the paper aloud. Just like the four principles Cheng Xue mentioned just now, if you don’t have any other requirements, just don’t make any mistakes.
After she finished reading, Li Zhong took out the mixed cinnabar and took the lead in pressing his fingerprints on the blank space below.
Everyone else looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one moved. In the end, Geng stepped forward to press his fingerprints, and Yang, Fang and others followed.
In fact, there is no effect according to this, it is just a gentleman's agreement. It is good to abide by it. If you don't abide by it, it is clearly written in black and white. There is nothing wrong with deducting half a month's wages.
It is not easy for farmers to have a profitable job, and it is still in the village. Wherever you can find it, you will cherish it if you think about it.
After explaining the rules, everyone took farm tools and went inside to plant vegetables.
The windows and everything were covered, and the fire had just been burned in the house in the morning, so it wasn't cold. They were all well-cooked peasant women, so there was no need to worry. Cheng Xue only looked at it for a moment and then went straight to the boss's hut.
In the future, Li Zhong and Li Yue will be in charge of this together. He will go outside and Li Yue will be responsible for recording. Cheng Xue will come over occasionally, but most of the time she has to take care of the children at home.
While she had nothing to do, she taught Li Yue how to keep accounts. The traditional recording method was not cumbersome, but it was difficult to understand at a glance. Li Hui used this when doing accounting for the county, but now she uses it directly without making excuses.
Explanation.
"...Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Li Yue nodded, took a pen and started writing under the "name" column the names of those who came to work today.
The working hours are four hours a day, and there is a half-hour break at noon. It is in this village, and you can go home and cook quickly without any delay.
After Mr. Geng finished planting spinach, he walked along this side and came to the headhouse.
Knock on the door first, then enter the house after the door opens, and see Li Yue writing something at the table, and Cheng Xue sitting aside.
"Are you okay, Auntie? Sit down."
Geng sat on a stool closer to her and said softly:
"That's it. I see that Mrs. Wen's house is vacant, and I would like to ask you how to rent it."
"Ah? Why?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.
Geng chuckled and shrugged, and replied with a relieved look:
"It's nothing, I just had enough trouble and I don't want to see their father and son again."
The real reason was not revealed. Xu Daguo picked the lock on her door twice. After all, she still had a daughter, and she had to save her face, and that was all for her son.
Cheng Xue guessed that she was hiding something, thought about it carefully, nodded, and said:
"There is no need to rent a house, my aunt will live there directly. If I roast pine nuts on the kang at night, my aunt will help take care of it, and it will be regarded as a rental."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. I will move here later."
When Yu Niang heard this, she quickly took out the key from her waist and put it on the table.
The house cannot be empty. Although the house was unoccupied after Wen Tian left, it would be cleaned and lit every day. After thanking Geng, he picked up the key and hurried out.
When Dong Cheng came back from work that day, he helped his mother-in-law move with Guo Dake, Yu Zhao, Li Qingshan and others.
Xu Daguo tried to stop him in every possible way, but finally Geng got rid of him directly with the words "You have to save face, don't force me".
Work in Cunxi started from this day on. Li Yue just went to work every day. He came to Cunxi after breakfast, went home to have a meal at noon, took a rest, and then went back.
Unstoppable, not a single day will fall.
Processing of pine nuts is carried out the day after sowing. Cheng Xue has already written down the method. Li Yue did it at home last year. She is familiar with the process and leads everyone to do it together.
After working hard for several days, when I woke up, the whole village was completely white.
It snowed without warning, without any warning.
"Mom - snow - it's snowing -"
When Li Huai came back from a convenience store, he was as excited as if he had never seen snow before.
When Li Tian, who was getting tired of his mother, heard this, he curled his lips and said:
"What's all the fuss about when it snows? You're from Liaodong, so it's unusual for it to snow?"
Li Huai pouted at being choked. He took off his shoes and got on the kang and was about to go to Cheng Xue to get fucked by me, but Li Tian pushed him away.
"You're cold, wait until you're warm before you hug me."
Li Huaishang was young, and he was instantly pushed to the back of his head by her push. He angrily slapped his pillow and shouted loudly——
"Why are you pushing me! This is my mother too."
"Who says she's not your mother anymore? I asked you to wait until your body is warm before hugging her. Our mother is not in good health and cannot be tired or cold."
Li Huai had no impression of his mother's weakness, but Li Tian, Li Yue, and Li Heng had seen her, and they were particularly worried, especially Li Tian.
She was young and relied more on her mother than her brothers and sisters. Li Huai didn't understand her mood, and because he slept with Cheng Xue on weekdays, he suddenly felt aggrieved and cried with a cry of "Ah——".
Li Tian was startled by his sudden crying. He subconsciously looked at his mother, and saw that her mother was closing her eyes and concentrating as usual, paying no attention to him, and immediately became energetic.
"Don't cry, you are a man. You cry every day and urinate, are you ashamed?"
"Just cry! Wuwu...wuwuwu..."
"Just cry and I'll beat you. If you cry-"
"Tiantian—what are you doing?"
Li Yue came from the west room, hurriedly walked to the kang, and brought his younger brother over.
When she saw her mother lying aside, she was shocked. She had been severely reprimanded by her mother once for interfering in the conflict between her younger brother and younger sister. But her younger sister had a bad temper and wouldn't let her younger brother go. She really couldn't do it.
I don’t think this is right.
Li Tian looked at his sister sadly and defended himself with a loud "hum":
"What am I going to do? I'm going to teach this crybaby boy a lesson! When he comes back after going out to relieve himself, he's so cold that he wants to hug his mother. I push him away and he starts crying. Isn't it right for me to teach him a lesson? Sister, why?
Crying can comfort you. The reason for his crying is wrong. You shouldn't hug him. Let go——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tian went over and tried to drag him away, but Li Yue naturally couldn't let him go.
Holding his younger brother with one hand, he pushed his younger sister away with the other hand.
"Sister, I know you are right, but Sidan is still young, so we can't..."
"Pa—"
Before Li Yue could finish speaking, Li Huai slapped Li Tian directly on the face.
Although the voice was very low, Cheng Xue sat up instantly and pulled the little girl to check. Fortunately, Li Huai's hand was not strong, otherwise the slap would not only cause swelling but also redness.
Li Tian was extremely angry, but his eyes widened and he stubbornly refused to let tears fall.
At this scene, Cheng Xue frowned, and Li Yue became even more angry.
"How can Sidan beat the second sister? Who taught you!"
Li Huai knew that he was in the wrong, and now his eldest sister, who had always protected him, blamed him, and suddenly started crying again with a "Wow——".
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him this time. Even Yu Niang, who was cooking in the outer room, came in to check on Li Tian.
Li Tian felt his mother's concern and shook his head boldly.
"It's okay, mom, I don't feel any pain."
Cheng Xue let go of her hand without saying anything, and the next second Li Tian stood up, pulled Li Huai over who was still crying, and angrily slapped and cursed——
"It's embarrassing or not. Old men know how to cry. I won't cry even when I get beaten. Why don't you cry! Shut up, don't cry. If you cry again, you won't get breakfast."
