happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 61
Aunt Shen's mobility was very strong, and only half an hour later, she and Shen Zhiwen brought the little piglet to her in a willow basket.

Shen Yunfang looked at each of them to see if there was any problem.

"Yunfang, don't worry, everyone is the best, can the aunt cheat you." Aunt Shen was very unhappy when she saw her actions.

It looks good from the outside, "Well, I can believe it, ma'am." Shen Yunfang smiled and put the piglet back into the willow basket.

"These two willow baskets are also given to you, and they are not worth much." Aunt Shen was quite generous this time.

"Oh, that would be great. I am worried that there is no pigsty at home, and I don't know where to put them for a while." Shen Yunfang smiled and took out a wad of money from her pocket and handed it to the aunt.

Aunt Shen happily took it and counted it in front of her.

This is just right, the brothers will settle the accounts clearly, and count them face to face, so as to save money, they will say more and less.

"It's just right." Aunt Shen put the money carefully into her pocket happily, "Okay, then we'll go home first, and you have the remaining one dollar and give it to me."

Aunt Shen dragged Shen Zhiwen away in a hurry.

Shen Yunfang looked at the two little piglets humming on the ground, feeling a little worried about how to build a pigsty, she patted her thigh for the last time, and went to Aunt Wang's house.

Since we can't do it ourselves, let's spend money to hire someone to do it.

Shen Yunfang came to the courtyard of the Wang family, saw that the courtyard door was locked, and could not see the lights. She didn't know whether the people inside were resting or not, so she could only shout: "Sister-in-law, are you at home?"

After a while, the lights came on in the room.

"Yunfang, why are you here so late? What's the matter?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law came out of the house wearing a coat and holding a kerosene lamp in her hand.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you." Shen Yunfang grinned.

"You girl, you've been crazy all day long, hurry up and get in the house." Dashuan's daughter-in-law gave her a sharp look, opened the courtyard door, and let her in.

"It's a serious matter this time." Shen Yunfang followed her into the house.

"Yunfang is here, come and sit in this room." Aunt Wang's voice sounded.

"Hey." Shen Yunfang agreed, and walked towards the West Room.

The Wang family also had three adobe houses. The west room was lived by Aunt Wang alone, and the east room was occupied by Dashuan's family of three.

"Aunt Wang has been resting so early." As soon as Shen Yunfang entered the room, she saw that all the quilts had been spread on the kang, and Aunt Wang was sitting on the kang with her clothes on.

"It's getting late, and besides, lighting the lamp costs oil, and lying down early can save some money." Aunt Wang said with a smile.

This is the case in the countryside. Lamp oil is also a good thing, and it must be used sparingly. If there is nothing to do, the lamps are not lit at night. When it is dark, there is nothing to do.

"Hee hee, Aunt Wang, I'm not here to see you today, I'm looking for my sister-in-law to discuss something." Shen Yunfang took off her shoes automatically and sat down on the kang.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly." Dashuan's daughter-in-law followed into the room, and there was light in the room.

"I bought two little piglets from my aunt today. They were brought to me just now. My family doesn't have a pigsty, so I can't keep them..."

"That's it, okay, tomorrow morning, I'll let your brother Dashuan build a pigsty for you." Dashuan's daughter-in-law said before she finished speaking.

"That's a good relationship, but I can't let my brother Dashuan do nothing for nothing. How about I give him [-] cents for a day's work?" Shen Yunfang said with a smile.

This salary was determined by her after careful consideration.Generally, a strong laborer like Brother Dashuan can earn ten centimeters a day in the production team. If the year is good, it will be about [-] cents a day.

Or say that some people have worked hard for a year, but they didn't earn a penny, and at the end of the year they have to find money for the production team. The money he earns every year is not enough for the 480 catties of food rations, so he has to look for it instead.

Although each person in rural areas is given 480 catties of rations a year, these are not free, they are calculated as money, and will be deducted when the money is distributed at the end of the year.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard the money was given.

"Whatever the money is, it's all about the neighbors, it's just a helper's job. If you charge money for this, it won't make people laugh." Aunt Wang immediately objected.There are a lot of people helping each other in the village, but there is no money.

"Yeah, it's not a big deal. How can I pay you back? Besides, your elder brother Dashuan has to work every day, so how can I work for you every day." Dashuan's daughter-in-law also wanted to understand that this money cannot be earned.

"Hehe, I didn't make it clear. I didn't tell my brother Dashuan not to go to work, but I asked him to help me with some work during his morning and evening rest. If it's just this job, I won't talk about it. It’s just that I want my Brother Dashuan to help me for a few more days, if you don’t charge me, I’m not ashamed to open my mouth.” Helping can be done for a day or two, but she still has a lot of things to do, she can’t do it alone Come.

"What else is there to do?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law thought that she might really be able to do it, and she also cared about it.

"You also know that I'm alone, and it's almost time for spring plowing. I raised two piglets this year, so I can't plant them so blindly in my private plot. I want to plant them well and get more grain to feed the pigs. And my backyard, you know how big it is, I have to grow it by myself until when.” Shen Yunfang talked about her difficulties, “I just want Brother Dashuan to help me dig the ground when he is free. , Help me plant the land, I am really not that material."

After Shen Yunfang finished speaking, she raised her thin and thin arms. At present, she really can't do such physical work.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law was very moved, but she still looked at Aunt Wang and asked her to make up her mind.

"Auntie, don't talk about neighbors and neighbors. These jobs can't be done in a day or two. If you don't charge money, I'll find someone else." Work for her every day.

"No, Brother Dashuan can do it." Dashuan's daughter-in-law hurriedly stopped her when she heard this. Where can I find such a good thing? It costs three cents a day. I have to do these jobs for a month anyway, so it's nine yuan. With this money, she can also make up for her girl.

"Mother." Dashuan's daughter-in-law called her, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

Aunt Wang knew why her daughter-in-law was greedy for the money, she sighed, and said, "You young people can handle things according to your own discretion, and I won't interfere."

Dashuan's daughter-in-law and Shen Yunfang were both happy, which means they agreed.

"Then sister-in-law, let's make an agreement. Brother Dashuan will help me with work tomorrow. As for the money, we should know what to do. It's better not to let outsiders know. What do you think, sister-in-law?" Shen Yunfang thought again If something was wrong, he asked, "Sister-in-law, if Brother Dashuan goes to work for me, how will your land be reorganized?"

"Oh, you think I'm you, you can't carry it on your shoulders, and I'm enough for this little place in the house." Dashuan's wife laughed at her.

Shen Yunfang wiped her nose in embarrassment, isn't she still young, when she eats more, she will definitely feel better when she becomes an adult.
