After crossing, I look forward to the three stepmothers leaving the singles every day

Chapter 23 Save the Wife Book

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei were unhappy: "Little lady, the wages you give are so high, they must run faster than rabbits..."

"Is it tall?" Nan Xing felt that this was hard work. The basket on his back was about ten catties. Although it wasn't very heavy, it was still heavy enough to carry it down from the mountain.She looked at the two of them in disbelief, and asked tentatively: "It takes a lot of time to pick and carry this one, in case you accidentally fall from the tree..."

Qiu Ju started yelling quickly, interrupted her words, and corrected loudly: "Little lady, you worry too much, and you underestimate them too much. The children who grew up in our Xiaozhai Village are those who can climb trees since they were young." Experts, not to mention picking fruit, even picking out bird eggs, will not fall."

Nan Xing's mouth moved, and she wanted to say that she couldn't climb trees...

"That's right, they are good at climbing trees. Doctor Lu's labor for the villagers is only sixty yuan a day, and they have to work for a whole day. I calculated it carefully, and they only need to go back and forth three times, and it only takes half a day." You can earn their father's labor for a day." Chunmei snapped her fingers and chattered.

Qiu Ju nodded approvingly: "Even if you bid ten, five, or even two, I believe they will grab it."

"If Erniang and the others know that you pay such a high salary, they will probably be so angry." Chunmei gave her a white look.

"...Then is it too late to regret it now?" Nan Xing opened his mouth wide in shock, and it turned out that poverty was beyond her imagination.

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei looked at her sympathetically: "..."

I thought to myself that she really had lost her mind and even forgot about this market.

In fact, the people in Xiaozhai Village mainly make a living from farming and have little other income.No matter how low the labor force is, if you are idle, you will still be idle, and you will rush to do it.

Anyway, two copper coins can be exchanged for a steamed bun. Even if it is as much money as chicken pieces, it is still money in their eyes, which is better than nothing.

Thinking of the labor Nan Xing gave, the two of them gritted their teeth, and still silently picked up the back basket and wanted to run up the mountain.

Nan Xing grabbed them and asked puzzledly, "Why do you two want to go?"

"Go to earn money, try not to let the fat and water flow into outsiders' fields."

Qiuju and Chunmei have flat mouths.

"Pfft!" Nan Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are not allowed to go, you have to go home with me to recharge your energy, and when they pick it back, we will be busy."

Hearing this, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei had no choice but to stop immediately, regretting deeply in their hearts, and then followed her home helplessly.

Liu Xiaodou waited for a large group of people to rush home to get their back baskets, and without any delay, they hurried up the mountain again.

A large group of big and small children ran like running rabbits, raising a cloud of dust as they passed by the edge of the field.

"Isn't that your brother? What is he doing so fast?" Liu Tian spit out the dust that choked into his mouth.

Liu Xiaoshan looked up and saw that it was really his brother, so he yelled: "Brother, brother..."

Liu Xiaodou seemed to hear someone calling him, turned around and saw that it was his younger brother, so he stopped and ran together holding his hand.

Liu Xiaoshan thought his brother was in a hurry, but when he saw a large group of people scrambling up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs, he realized: "What are you doing?"

Liu Xiaodou said excitedly to him, "Go up the mountain to pick wild fruits."

"I'm not going." As soon as Liu Xiaoshan shook his hand, he wanted to go back and continue playing hide-and-seek with his friends.

Liu Xiaodou was so angry that he yelled 'wow', and really wanted to slap him: "Okay, the wings have grown hard, haven't they?"

When Liu Xiaoshan met his brother's smoldering eyes, his voice dropped several decibels instantly: "...It's sour and astringent, brother, why do you want to pick it?"

"Don't ask so many questions. If you want to eat big meat buns, just listen to your brother obediently." After speaking, Liu Xiaodou ignored him and continued to quicken his pace.

Liu Xiaoshan couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the small half of the big meat bun his brother brought back for him yesterday, and immediately chased his brother with all his strength.

The adults working in the fields were also surprised by the raised dust: "What are they doing?"

"Hey, Uncle Gui, aren't those two boys from your family? What kind of work did you arrange for him?"

Liu Gui looked up and saw their two sons.

It's just that he doesn't know why they are going up the mountain at this time.

So, he shook his head and said, "Maybe go up the mountain to play..."

"But they all carry panniers."

Seeing that he didn't know, the people next to him joked again: "Uncle Gui, your Xiaodou is almost 16 years old, haven't you seen a suitable family yet?"

When he said this, he took a special look at Ji Xiangyan and Luo Yunfei who were working beside him, meaning that their Nan Xing was 17 years old and hadn't married yet.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Liu Gui's heart was divided.

The conditions of their family are not good, and many people look at them and think that their family is too poor.

Ji Xiangyan and Luo Yunfei's hearts tightened, their brows couldn't help but frowned, wondering what they were doing up the mountain...

The people who were happily picking fruits had just picked half of them, and found that the two brothers Liu Xiaodou had already picked a basket.

So, under everyone's envious and jealous eyes, Liu Xiaodou quickly picked up his backpack and ran down the mountain. Before leaving, he told his brother not to be lazy.

And when Liu Xiaoshan learned that the wild fruit in the basket was worth [-] yuan in the discussion of the crowd, he rolled up his sleeves and worked hard without his brother's instructions.

"Huh? Why are you alone?" Qiu Ju was very surprised, and looked at Liu Xiaodou in disbelief.

"Because I run fast." Liu Xiaodou gasped and showed off his long legs.

Qiu Ju didn't think too much about it, she checked it and found that it was basically good, big and round, so she wrote down [-] Wen as her salary.

If you take the fruits out one by one, it will probably take a lot of time. If you pour them out violently, the fruits may be damaged.

Just when he was hesitating and in a dilemma, Nan Xing smiled slightly and immediately ordered: "Chunmei, give him a basket from home."

Chunmei nodded, and Liu Xiaodou followed her into the house.

After getting the basket, he had already started running before he even reached the door.

Seeing this, Nan Xing was astonished: "...don't you need to drink water and take a rest?"

Seeing that he had already run away, Nan Xing turned to his back and said, "That's right, it's hard enough."

Chunmei covered her mouth and smiled: "If you don't fight, you can't do it. He is almost 16 years old now, and he hasn't found anyone to look at."

"Hey, no wonder, so I was saving money for my wife." Nan Xing couldn't help giving him a big thumbs up: "This kid, you can."

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei looked at each other silently, thinking that you are older than him, if only you were half caring...
