Yu Qinniang asked Mrs. Xu: "Mother, have you asked the kid in Caotan Village?"

"I asked a few questions last night, saying that your grandma, and your uncle and cousin didn't come back."

Yu Qinniang breathed a sigh of relief: "That means the work hasn't been finished yet."

"hope so."

What Mrs. Xu and Yu Qinniang didn't know was that at this time the eldest family of the Xu family had already driven home from the county by car. They had finished their work, but there were no "three people" among the people who took the car.

The real old lady of the Xu family was yelling: "Stop, I want to get out of the car."

Uncle Xu waved to the coachman to signal that he should go, and persuaded him, "Mother, the rain has finally stopped, and it's not easy to find a bicycle. Just here, we have to walk for several hours by foot. You Get off at this time, why don't we go back and walk for a few days?"

The only boy in the uncle's family also persuaded him with a book: "Grandma, don't worry about the three cousins. They are all young men, and they are the work arranged by the master of the grandpa's family. Can people still lose it? Can't help it!" home."

It's okay if you don't explain, but the more you explain, the more angry the old lady will be.

She can understand that the orchard work doesn't require so many people, and she can't wait to fight for the last few places. There is no danger and she can earn more. Why can't she just fight for it?

These fathers and fathers appointed themselves first.

That's fine too.

But where are your nephew and the three cousins ​​with broken bones and tendons all assigned, and what kind of work did they do for more than a month?
Then he fooled her, seeing that she didn't tell the truth and just said go home first.

She thought that the three eldest grandsons were already waiting at the entrance of the gate tower, but she never expected that no one was there.

You don't need to ask to know that the boss tricked her into getting into the car first, because he didn't want to waste time, food, and fare, and didn't want to go back to find someone with her.

The old lady was disappointed in her heart. She saluted and kowtowed to the old lady as soon as she was old, and rubbed her legs when she waited on her.

Uncle Xu could see that the old lady was angry, so he backed down a step and said, "If the nephews haven't come home after a few days, at worst I'll come out and look for them."

The old lady forcibly endured the sentence: This is not a real father or brother, or it can't be done.

If it were your own son, how many days would you wait?
But she couldn't say it.

Ever since her health deteriorated day by day, and she could no longer lose her temper as she did when she was young, she still had to count on living at her eldest son's house.

And the three eldest grandchildren who are missed by the old lady, today is also the last day to help.

The three brothers didn't blame their uncle and cousin for robbing them of picking fruit.

Because the three of them were paid more for the work arranged by the owner.

Xu Youliang and his youngest brother, Xu Youyin, are doing corvée for two merchants in the city.

Serving corvee is an obligation that every family in this county must undertake, and they have to work for the court for free.The task arranged this year is to clean up the sinus canal.Unless the family is an official or a scholar or above, the exemption will be reduced.

Therefore, some wealthy families are unwilling to let their sons do dirty and tiring work and have to pay.A quota of five taels of silver, the owner's son is the petty official in charge of this aspect.

The owner's son received five liang of silver for a quota, and then went to find someone to replace him, and distributed three liang of silver to those who actually worked.

Two or three, you can still eat.

And the tall and tall third child, Xu Youcang, found a job that earned more than his elder brother and younger brother.

He followed the team to carry logs in the woods.

Others can carry at most two to three hundred catties in one trip, and they only carry fifty or sixty pieces of wood back and forth more than ten times a day. He is twice as much as others, and he can carry from daylight until he can't see the road clearly.

Zhuangtou said, whoever does more will earn more.

That's right, Xu Youcang came down this time, while grabbing the two vegetable dumplings that were allotted and ate them, he excitedly asked the counting steward: "Shopkeeper, how much money do I have?"

"You boy, it will cost you six taels for another two dollars. You are really capable. I have been here for so many years and I have rarely seen it. However, you still have to listen to my uncle's advice. Don't work too hard. You don't feel anything right now. How many people are old? After the accident, the spine was bent, and some people fell down on the kang and couldn't get up again."

Xu Youcang grinned and said with a laugh: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I'll get enough six taels and I won't do it. I'll go to the city tomorrow to find my second brother and my younger brother."

When the three brothers came out this time, the little silver taels brought by their mother were not spent.

I can give my mother an extra 12 taels of silver, how happy my mother is.
