Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

After borrowing the stone mill, Jiang Wei poured all the washed and dried ceramic waste into it and ground it into fine pieces. She asked Old Man Zhao to send the old scalper for the grinding early in the morning.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched from the sidelines. These ceramic wastes could be ground in a stone mill, but the discarded bricks could not be crushed. They were too big and could not be crushed by a stone mill.

So, she saw her mother-in-law taking a big hammer and hammering the discarded bricks hard, breaking them into small pieces, and then putting them into the stone mill.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "...How about we also hire someone to do this job."

With so many bricks, her mother is going to hammer them until the end of the year?

In the past few days, old man Zhao, in addition to going to town to deliver goods every day, would also bring back a truck full of scraps. There were already piles of bricks and ceramic scraps piled in the yard at home, let alone her mother doing it alone. After all these things are alive, even the stone grinder is not enough.

It can be seen that her mother is used to doing everything alone and rarely relies on others, but sometimes, she needs external help to complete certain things.

Jiang Wei took a breath, stopped what he was doing, and turned to look at her: "Then Xiaoxiao, please help me arrange manpower."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Believe her so much?

She thought for a while, then counted with her fingers: "We can ask Brother Tiezhu's father to help, and Brother Dagang to come to our house in the afternoon to help smash these waste bricks. The weather is hot at this time, and everyone is at home. It won’t delay the work in the fields, and if we have stone mills, we can borrow a few more..."

"Okay." Jiang Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at her with trust, "Then let Xiaoxiao arrange these things."

"it is good!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't live up to her mother's trust. After saying this, she ran out of the yard in a hurry and rushed towards Qiulian's mother's house.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here again?" Qiu Lianniang asked in surprise when she saw her leaving and returning.

Jiang Xiaoxiao told her about inviting Zhao Youcai to work at home. He would only work for half a day and get fifteen cents a day.

"How much does half-day's work cost?" Qiu Lianniang smiled and waved her hand, then turned around and went to the back room to call her man.

Zhao Youcai came out of the back room on straw sandals: "What are you doing, Xiaoxiao?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao briefly talked about hammering bricks.

Zhao Youcai nodded while listening: "Okay, I'll go to your house now."

There were not enough hammers at home, so Jiang Xiaoxiao asked him to bring the hammer with him.

After explaining the matter, Jiang Xiaoxiao ran to Li Zheng's house again.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Li Zheng's wife saw her and hurriedly called him into the house, "Look, you are sweating all over. What's the hurry? Come in and have a sip of herbal tea."

It was the hottest moment of the day. Jiang Xiaoxiao was sweating all over from running back and forth, and the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat.

She casually wiped the sweat from her head, took the large bowl of herbal tea handed to her by Li Zheng's wife and drank it down. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Auntie, is Brother Dagang at home?"

"Xiaoxiao, what do you want from me?" Liu Dagang opened the bamboo curtain in the back room and walked out shirtless with his messy hair on his head.

He was preparing to take a nap in the back room, but the weather was too hot and he couldn't fall asleep.

Jiang Xiaoxiao briefly talked about hiring workers at home. Li Zheng also walked out of the back room. After listening to her words, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Oh, how much money does your family waste by asking for work every day? Even you mother and daughter can't do these heavy and tiring jobs. If There is a man at home..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and smiled sheepishly at Jiang Xiaoxiao: "That's all, Dagang, when you are not busy these days, go to Xiaoxiao's house to help."

"Don't worry, dad." Li Dagang put on a patched short brown shirt and prepared to go out with Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't show it on her face, but she was quite surprised that Li Zheng would say such a thing.

In this era, although feudalism was not as serious as she imagined, it was still difficult for a widow to remarry, not to mention the one who brought an oil bottle. Li Zheng did not object to her mother finding another man, but there was still a faint feeling supportive attitude.

However, she felt that it was the same whether there was a man in the family or not. Her mother was an independent and capable person. No matter what she did, she would never think of relying on others, and she did not need a man by her side at all.

When it comes to work, her mother is stronger than several men combined, and if outsiders are around, it will be difficult to hide the little secret between her and her mother.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoxiao stopped thinking and asked Liu Dagang beside him: "Brother Dagang, do you know anyone who has a stone mill?"

"Tie Zhu's family has them. His grandma used to be a famous bean curd beauty in our village." Liu Dagang thought for a while and added a few more: "There are also Aunt Wang's family, Shuanzi's natal family, Zhang Dalin's family..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao listened and wrote them down one by one.

Zhao Tiezhu's family has already borrowed it. Aunt Wang is not on good terms with her family, so she probably won't lend it to her family, so there are only three families left to borrow it from.

"Brother Dagang, you go to my house first, and I want to help my mother borrow the stone mill."

"Are you going alone?" Li Dagang was worried, "I'll go with you."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't refuse. She wasn't actually familiar with the people who had stone mills. With Li Dagang going with her, it would be easier to borrow them.

So, the two of them went to these three houses one by one.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hardly said anything. Liu Dagang was Li Zheng's son. When he asked to borrow the stone mill, the family agreed without hesitation.

However, Jiang Xiaoxiao would not let others suffer. She took out five cents from the purse at her waist and handed it over: "Auntie, my family has to borrow this stone mill for several days. This money is the borrowing fee given by my mother."

"Ouch, why are you so polite when I borrow a stone mill?" Shuanzi's mother, who originally thought she had lent it for free, saw the five cents and laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth. "Xiaoxiao, don't be in a hurry to pay it back. Your family wants to use it." It doesn’t matter how long it takes.”

This stone mill is of no use at home. We don’t grind tofu at home anymore. I didn’t expect that I could get five cents out of it when I lent it. It was a windfall!

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Xiaoxiao responded with a smile.

"Oh, why are you so polite to my aunt?" Shuanzi's mother looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was only as high as her waist, and then at Liu Dagang beside her, then she said with a smile: "I don't think Dagang can move alone. I'll ask Shuanzi and his father to help you carry it over later."

Liu Dagang said gratefully: "Okay, I'll just trouble Shuanzi."

The two left Shuanzi's house and went to another two houses to borrow a stone mill as usual.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao brought Liu Dagang home, three stone mills had been delivered to her home, and Zhao Youcai was helping pour the ceramic fragments into the stone mill.
