Scientific farming and raising cute babies

Chapter 59 Hiring Helpers
Soon some villagers came to buy bean curds and soup. At noon, Gu Tang and Gu Tian’s siblings came. Both of their little faces were worried. Gu Fushun and Jiang Xiu’s couple should have returned yesterday, but there was no sign of them yet. What happened?
"It's snowing, and the road is difficult to walk, especially when they are still pushing the scooter." Gu Miao comforted the siblings softly.

Gu Fushun used to dig rivers for hard labor, and Jiang Xiu used to sell breakfast. All kinds of tools were needed to sell breakfast. These tools were all piled up on a cart. When it snowed heavily, the speed of pushing a cart was naturally slow.

This consolation was logical, and the siblings were a little relieved. After lunch, they went back home with clay pots in their arms.

After they left, Meng Xizhou talked about the matter of hiring helpers. Although he hadn't signed an agreement with shopkeeper Wu yet, at least four clay pots of soup per day were fixed. Every day is fixed to make six clay pots of soup.

This is a hard job, if Gu Miao's small body with little meat is tossed like this, the few taels of meat will be gone.

Hire helpers without delay.

"Why don't you just find Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang, a well-known impoverished household in the village, had a man who died in battle a few years ago. It was not easy for her to raise a pair of children and take care of her parents-in-law by herself.Later, her husband became seriously ill, so she sold the family's land to buy medicine, and kept her husband alive.

But if the family had no land, there would be no income. Yunmo saw that it was not easy for her, so he rented out his [-] mu of land to her, and only collected a little rent every year to pay taxes and keep the rest for himself. Give it all to her.

She was grateful for Yun Mo's kindness, and would come over from time to time to give some dry firewood and vegetables. Yun Mo's clothes were also made by her mother-in-law, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good.

Now is the slack season, and there is no work in the fields. Hiring her to help will also allow her to earn some money to supplement the family.

"She is honest and responsible, that's fine, you can go to her house later." Yun Mo agreed with the young man's proposal.

So Meng Xizhou went to Aunt Zhang's house, mentioned this matter to her, and asked her to think about it. If it is feasible, I will go to Yun's house to help tomorrow morning. I just need to go in the morning, and I can go home when the bean curd and soup are sold out. Daily settlement, two pennies a day, and food.

Aunt Zhang's family was very surprised by the boy's sudden arrival, and Aunt Zhang's family was even more surprised by what the boy said. Can you earn two pennies a day with just half a day's work?Don't you need to go out of Huaishu Village?

OMG!

Pie in the sky!

One month is sixty pennies!
Jiang Xiu sold breakfasts for a month and only earned [-] or [-] yuan!
Aunt Zhang rubbed her hands excitedly, she couldn't say anything hilarious, and stammered for a while before uttering a complete sentence: She can go to work this afternoon, she can't wait!

"Yes." Meng Xizhou nodded.

Now that the business with Wenxianglou has been finalized, he has to build another shed as a kitchen, so that he won't have time to pick beans, and Aunt Zhang can go pick beans.

He gave some instructions again, specifically stating that he could not disclose the matter in the Yun family's yard to others, and after receiving repeated guarantees from Aunt Zhang's family, he and Aunt Zhang returned to Yun's house together.

As soon as she arrived at Yun's house, Aunt Zhang started to work. Picking beans was too easy for her.

Meanwhile, Meng Xizhou and Gu Miao went up the mountain in a carriage with machetes in hand. They needed wood to build a shed, and the young couple went up the mountain to chop trees.
