Chapter 52 Banquet List
Chapter 52 Banquet List

Su Jinman saw that when she was not busy in the afternoon, she handed over the work to Aunt Qionghua, and went to the nearby ditch by herself. After looking around for a long time, she still couldn't think of any good ideas, so she had to give up temporarily.

The dinner that night was really white rice, which made the workers boil again, and they all felt that they had to work harder in the future, or they would be sorry for the meal.

Ever since they broke up with the Su family, no one from their side came over, but on the third day, Su Shiren came over, did his work without saying a word, and left at mealtime, for two days in a row. In this way, Su Sanlang couldn't stand it any longer, and asked Jin Man to discuss it.

"Look at your third brother, you have been working for the past two days and you haven't eaten yet, what should you do?"

"What's so difficult about it, leave it to me."

When it was time for lunch, Su Shiren put down his work as usual, and then walked out without looking back, but today he was held back by Su Jinman.

"There is no one who does not eat while working, go, come and eat with me."

Su Shiren's face was full of stubbornness.

"I'm going home to eat."

"If you don't eat with me, don't come in the afternoon."

Su Jinman gave him an ultimatum. After he glanced at Su Jinman's firm eyes, he couldn't help but follow her to dinner.

If he can work, he can eat. Su Shiren has a lot of appetite. He is the only Su family that Su Jinman doesn't hate. Seeing his delicious food, Su Jinman doesn't bother, and walks away silently.

Without the interference of Su's family, Su Jinman's house was built very smoothly. It took only a month to get it up and down. The water was led to the house by bamboo joints, and it was Daniel who reminded Su. Jin Man opened up.

On this day, Li Dashan found Su Jinman. After working in the Su family for so long, can he still not know who is in charge? .

"Jin Man, the beam in your house is ready to go, should you find someone to see the day first?"

"My father has asked someone to look at this a long time ago. The ninth day of June is a good day. I will go to the beam on that day. I will trouble my uncle when the time comes."

"Is there any trouble or not? It's just that you plan to entertain the people in the village that day?"

"Yes, my parents have told me that when the time comes, I will invite people from the village to come and have fun, and I will also invite a few aunts who can cook to help."

"Okay, I'll ask my family to help you when the time comes."

"Well, thanks for your hard work, Auntie."

"You kid, what are you doing with your uncle? Okay, I'm off to work, and you can make arrangements."

After hearing Uncle Li's words, Su Jinman immediately found Aunt Qionghua and Zhao Xiuhe, and together they counted, what should I do?

We discussed together for a long time, and decided on a lot of things. In the end, it was Su Jinman who made the final decision on the main course.

Although it is not a time of famine now, even if it is a wedding banquet, the farmer's dinner is saving. Su Jinman thought that there are dozens of taels of silver left in his hand, and it is also very important to have a good relationship with the people in the village, so at this point She had different opinions from Zhao Xiuhe and the others, but in the end she convinced them.

The next day she went to the town again, bought wine, two catties of meat, and a box of pastries, and went directly to the village chief's house when she came back.

When the village head's wife saw that Su Jinman came over with such good gifts, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she invited him into the house very politely.

The village chief's attitude towards her has also changed. Although his face was still a little serious when he saw her, the light in his eyes was much gentler.

"Jin Man, is there something wrong?"

"Village chief, it's like this. On the ninth day of June, my house went to the beam. My father said that the village built a house and invited the villagers to have a feast. It was very lively. I thought you said that you are the village chief of our village. Come to invite you."

The village head enjoyed Su Jinman's flattery, and he planned to mention her because she was so sensible.

"There is such a custom, well, I will definitely go when the time comes, have you invited Li Zheng?"

"I haven't thought of this yet, so I would like to trouble you to help Li Zheng. I don't know the etiquette very well. It's two taels of silver. You can just buy it. I'll make up for the shortfall. If you have too much, you can use it to buy wine." drink."

After all, Su Jinman has lived for more than 30 years, so she is on the right track, so she took out another two taels of silver from her cuff and handed it to the village chief.

"Okay, it's not easy for you girl, I'll run for you, and then I'll ask your aunt to help with the work, and you can just make a sound if there is anything wrong."

"That's great. I won't say much thank you. You are busy. I'll go home and clean up. Then you have to come early and have a few more drinks."

After the work was done, Su Jinman left with a smile. There was still a lot of work at home, and today she was still preparing scattered copper coins, waiting to pay the wages when work was over in the evening.

After returning home, Su Jinman told Su Sanlang about going to the village chief's house, and reminded him that Zhengzheng might also come that day, and planned to take him and Zhao Xiuhe to the town to buy two sets of clothes, and ask Doctor Huang to give them to him by the way. The two looked at their physical condition.

Su Sanlang agreed one by one, and now he doesn't take much care of the family, so he handed it over to Su Jinman. Seeing that she arranged everything in an orderly manner, he was also satisfied and at ease.

"Okay, just follow what you said, but don't forget to invite grandma, uncle, and the others. After all, we are still a family."

"Father, you can go back and invite me when the time comes. If I go to invite you, I'm afraid grandma will have other ideas."

Su Sanlang knew his mother's temperament, if Jin Man went, there might be troubles.

"Okay, I'll go back to invite you in two days, you go and do your work, and don't worry about grandma's side."

After talking to her father, she found Li Dashan again, and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, after dinner, please tell everyone that I have something to ask you."

"Okay, I'll tell you guys."

After dinner that day, because Li Dashan greeted early, the villagers who helped did not leave. Su Jinman waited for them all to eat before speaking to the crowd.

"You guys have worked hard these days, and our family is here to thank you all. Now the house is almost finished, and while I'm not busy, I'll calculate the wages for you guys."

Everyone didn't expect Su Jinman to pay back the wages. The village usually helps out. There is no precedent for asking for wages, so they couldn't believe it.

"Brother Su, is what your daughter said true?"

"It's really embarrassing to eat such a good meal and still get paid."

"Yes, Miss Jinman, is it true?"

Facing everyone's chatter, Su Jinman smiled slightly, and signaled Daniel to move the prepared tables and chairs to the yard. Su Jinman took a stack of papers and sat firmly on the chair.

"Okay, uncles and brothers, I have written down the number of days each of you have been here. Each person has two copper coins per day. According to the number of days, I will report your name, and those whose names are called will come to me."

This account was settled by her the night before, but now she just sang it out to let everyone know, and it was very simple, Su Sanlang helped everyone count the copper coins.
