Chapter 217 Li Kui's Marriage
It was not reliable for Chen Laosan to touch it. He was just the first day of work and did not have the right to arrange someone. He agreed casually.
"Auntie, let me go tomorrow. But he is young and he is a small worker who has no skills. He is more than 100 ounces a month and 200 ounces. But I am not responsible for this matter. I just need to register normally after it. I heard that I am going to Mizhou, which is more than 100 miles away."
"It's okay to have more than one hundred miles, and the salary of two hundred kilometers is also not bad. That's OK, let your cousin go with you tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll take my cousin here tomorrow. But if you take the chicken, I can't accept it."
"This is a soup for my niece-in-law."
Chen Laosan refused to accept it, but Aunt San insisted on giving it to him.
If this was usually accepted, it would be very inappropriate to accept it now.
"Auntie, I'll give you twenty cents of chicken money, otherwise I will definitely not." A chicken is only priced at this price, basically the market price.
"That won't work. It's been a few years old, you can give it ten cents."
Chen Laosan gave Aunt San ten cents and arranged for Aunt San to let her cousin come tomorrow as soon as the dawn of the day.
After seeing off Aunt San, Chen Laosan boiled water and sharpened his knife in the kitchen.
The wife asked: "Child, what are you doing?"
"Kill the chicken and stew chicken soup for you."
The wife looked at the chicken cage in the corner and moved it out during the day and placed it in the room at night.
"Don't kill, life depends on the long term. The big chicken cage is empty. Although it is an old chicken, our family has coarse grains. Feed it well and you should be able to lay eggs. Three treasures are five months old, and you can slowly feed eggs. I will buy more than a dozen chickens to raise them in spring. In the future, there will be a group of chickens, and all three children can eat eggs."
"Yes, it's all my fault that I didn't plan to live my life before. I won't care about the money anymore. If you keep it, you can hide it, buy whatever you should buy. At the end of the month, there will be 200 laborers."
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it." The couple worked together and made the profits cut off gold.
The couple heated the kang and fell asleep early with the children. They had to get up early to go to work tomorrow.
When Chen Laosan got up early the next day, he opened the door and found that his cousin was wearing a sheepskin coat for a long time.
"Let's go, try to find a job for you. This manager is a Taoist priest and he is very good."
The road to the county town is not close to eight miles away. The two of them walked all the way, but fortunately they were not late when they arrived.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the big car shop that recruited workers. Chen Laosan arranged for his cousin to queue up and said, "After someone will ask you if you are willing to open up land or be a small worker, you will say you are willing to be a small worker. I will ask Master, if we can't add individuals in our group."
"Okay."
Gongsun Sheng was not there, Chen Laosan simply ate two bowls of sorghum porridge and went to work. He had been making two kangs. At this time, Gongsun Sheng came to check.
This is an abandoned cart shop, and there are too many places that need to be repaired. After it is built, it will be the Yishui Branch of the Antong Escort Bureau. Why set up an Escort Bureau here? It is because there are many mountains nearby, including honeysuckle, salvia miltiorrhiza, scorpion, dandelion, hawthorn and other medicinal plants. In addition to eating and wearing, there are also medicinal materials. This is why Chao Gai wants to develop this place. Moreover, the people here are strong and are a good place to recruit guards.
When Gongsun Sheng saw Chen Laosan and others working very well, his skills were indeed very good.
"Chen, you're doing a good job. If you have any other requirements, please ask."
"The villain has no requirements. The villain has a cousin, who is here today. He doesn't understand technology and wants him to work as a small worker with me and learn to play the kang."
Gongsun Sheng called over and saw that the young man was pretty good, but he was only a little tender, and he seemed a little dull.
"Okay, just follow you."
But the young man's salary was very low, one hundred and fifty cents a month, and an apprentice. After three months of assessment, if there is progress, he will be considered a small worker, two hundred cents a month.
My cousin was a little disappointed, but I could understand that my cousin was almost thirty people, and it took me more than ten years to find a job to do it.
Gongsun Sheng has a good temper, but his subordinates are not that gentle. If they make mistakes in their lives, they will definitely be scolded. But there is one thing that is very good. Unless they are serious, they will generally not deduct wages.
The recruitment went smoothly. More than 300 strong men were recruited in three days, but they all went to Mizhou Port to build houses. Most of them were unwilling to go to the island to reclaim wasteland. In these days, there were very few people who went out to work, and they were reluctant to go to sea if they had a little way.
Gongsun Sheng shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he had to rely on Luda, Li Zhong and others from Qingzhou to recruit minions to send people to Mizhou Island.
Baizhangya Village, Li Kui's family, and the new house with blue bricks and red tiles are particularly lively. The three children of my brother's family are playing in the yard.
The family was very lively during the Chinese New Year this year. My brother Li Da came back from Mizhou Port, and Li Kui also came back from Chaojiazhuang.
My mother almost held Li Kui's hand and kept holding her. She was old and passionate, and her son always couldn't see enough.
"Iron Niu, it's not too young, it's time to get married. Mom has accumulated more than twenty taels of silver for you, so marry your wife as soon as possible."
Li Kui took a wooden pier and sat down next to his mother: "Mom, I'm back to tell you about this. Brother Chao Gai made the decision and made a marriage for me and asked me to come back to discuss it for my mother. I don't know if my mother agrees."
"Mom agrees, what do you disagree with? Where is the woman from?"
"The high-ranking family in Hujiazhuang, Hu Sanniang's cousin, will be relatives from now on, Brother Chao Gai and I will be relatives. There is a portrait here, please take a look."
When I saw the girl in the painting, she was tall and big, and her body was completely incompatible with beauty.
But thinking about his son is relieved.
"Okay, okay, okay. Mom looks pretty good. Mom is old and can't stand long-distance troubles. When the time comes, I will not go."
"Okay, mom. After the marriage is completed, I will bring Yingzi to kowtow to you."
Chao Gai made a special arrangement. People don’t have to rely on their muscles and bones as their ability. If the old lady cannot come, don’t force it. I will marry you at that time.
Li Kui also understands that people cannot struggle when they are older.
Life is not so fast these days, and it is not until the tenth day of the first lunar month. This year is only barely over. Normally, the Chinese New Year is not over until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Just as I woke up that morning, Chao Gai was practicing martial arts in the backyard. Cheng Wan was brushing her teeth next to her. She used a toothbrush made of bamboo ponytail hair. It was handmade. It was usually only available to the rich. Ordinary people don’t have this habit.
As I brushed, I bent down and started to retching. The maid hurriedly beat her back.
