Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 111

Uncle Gu negotiated with Mrs. Liu for a while, then turned to Fang and said, "It's better to buy him back. Although it saves trouble to hire a worker, he is not from our own family, so don't worry about using it."

He was thinking that when the weather cleared up, he would find a way to take Luo Baisu to Beijing. Fang was the only one with more than [-] acres of land in his family. Can.

Mrs. Fang obeyed Uncle Gu very much in this matter, and nodded in agreement. The few people who came together felt that it made sense after hearing it. After all, these refugees were going to be resettled in their own homes. They bought them back and took their deeds of sale. After all, they were not afraid They are mischievous.

After the group discussed it properly, they went to pick people. As soon as they entered the shanty town, a group of people surrounded them and asked:

"Do you want to hire someone? I can do anything. Hire me back."

"Master, please do me a favor, let's enjoy the food!"

"Ma'am, my man is gone, I'm just a woman, I don't eat much, and I'm willing to work, take me back!"

Say anything along the way.

Luo Tiandu looked really pitiful, but her family was still struggling on the poverty line, and she couldn't help even if she wanted to.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Bo said again: "Pick a few honest people, and go home to farm." He just wanted to buy a few people to go back to do rough work, but when Luo Tiandu and Luo Ming grew up in the future, the people around him would be fine. Those who want to follow, go to Beijing and pick some smart ones.

I just looked around and didn't see a few suitable ones.

It turns out that at this time, everyone knows that refugees are cheap, and those who are rich in the county have already picked out the neat, bright and pleasing girl, and the tall and strong man, and either stay at home to work, or raise them well. If they are resold and then sold, the old, weak, sick and disabled are left behind, and no one is willing to take them.

The group of them were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and at a glance, they were peasants from the countryside. They walked back and forth twice, but they didn't meet anyone they wanted. On the third trip, a one-armed young man with a scar on his face came over. , Said: "Several gentlemen and wives, choose our family. My family is gone. There are only me and my brother. You take us all there. We are willing to do any work as long as we are given food. That's it."

When Uncle Gu saw it, he shook his head: "You only have one hand, what can you do?"

Because the young man had a broken arm, scars on his face, and a very scary appearance, he stayed in the wooden shed all the time, and no one was willing to hire him. His brother is still young, and now he is standing in the wind all day, and he can't even drink hot water. If he drags on, it will look a little bad.Then he broke his heart, brought a young boy out of the shed, brought him to Uncle Gu, and said, "Why don't you take my brother back alone? Although he is not very old, he is also a hardworking man. When I was young, I followed me up the mountain and into the water, I am used to suffering."

Uncle Gu shook his head again: "Half-year-old, eat poor old man, don't do much work, but eat as much as an adult, it's not worth it."

On the other hand, Fang saw that young boy, who was not more than two years older than Luo Mingdu. He was dark and thin, wearing only a thin autumn coat, and his lips were black and blue from the cold. Somewhat soft-hearted, he discussed with Gu Bo: "Or, let's take them back."

Anyway, most of the rest here are physically handicapped or too old to work, and they are also older brothers. They seem to love their younger brothers very much, and they must have a good heart.

The young boy tugged at his elder brother's sleeve, and with a tear in his voice, he said to Fang: "Madam, you can take our brother. My elder brother was not born disabled. He used to But I have a lot of strength. One year when I was sick, he went to the mountains alone to hunt Xiongzi in order to earn money to get medicine for me. That hand was torn off by Xiongzizi that time. From now on, I will work hard and eat. I don’t get much, I just ask my wife to be kind and lead our brother there, my eldest brother hasn’t eaten a drop of hot food for several days.”

Although the county government would arrange people to come over every day to give porridge, it was okay a few days ago, but as the number of refugees increased, some monks had too much porridge, and they could only get a bowl of porridge that could reflect people's shadows in the morning and evening.He fell ill a few days ago, and his eldest brother left him all the hot porridge brought by him, saying that the life of the poor is hard. After two days of suffering, his health improved slightly, and other refugees saw that one of their two brothers was disabled A thin and weak man came to grab food, but his elder brother hadn't eaten hot food for a long time.

Luo Tian felt a little sad when she saw it, she thought that if she hadn't been reborn in Fang's and Luo Baisu's family, if she had encountered such a disaster, she would have lost her family and was a girl, and she would have been betrayed.

She looked at Fang with some hesitation: "Mother, how about they?"

Before Fang could speak, Uncle Gu asked again: "How old are you two brothers? What skills do you have?"

The scar-faced young man replied: "I'm eighteen this year, and my brother is thirteen. My family used to have two acres of Susukida, and they knew how to do all the work in the field. If it wasn't for the heavy snow today, the earthen house at home collapsed, and my parents didn't have time. I ran out and was crushed to death by a beam. In order to bury the second elder, I sold the two acres of Susukida in my family. I really had no choice, so I came out."

Uncle Gu looked at him up and down, and said, "Can you hunt? Seeing how you are so thin, how dare you go hunting a blind man."

The scar-faced young man gave a wry smile, and said, "There used to be an old military man who retired from the military camp in the village, and I learned a little kung fu from him. That's why I dared to go up the mountain alone to hunt the old bear."

Uncle Gu then said, "Just ask for it." Then he said, "My family only buys out the contract of sale, and doesn't hire workers."

The scar-faced youth said, "I can sign a deed of sale and come to your house, but my brother can't. He is still young, and the days to come will be long."

When Gu Bo heard this, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's go ahead and have a look."

The young boy hurriedly grabbed Uncle Gu, and said: "I will also sign the deed of sale, I just ask the Eldest Master to take my Eldest Brother there too, we two brothers must work honestly."

Luo Tian was still not quite used to this kind of bargaining, so he couldn't help but tugged at Gu Bo's sleeve, and said, "Gu Bo, let's take them back."

Uncle Gu sighed, and said, "Forget it, I want it all." Then he asked the scar-faced young man, "What's your surname? Where's your ancestral home? Can you bring your household registration paper?"

The scar-faced young man shook his head and said, "My name is Cheng Qing, and my brother's name is Cheng Sheng. My family's ancestral home is Huangwu Town, Fujian Province. I lost my household registration paper on the way here."

Uncle Gu frowned, and muttered, "It's troublesome, I have to apply for a new household registration."

There were other families living in that shed, and seeing that the Cheng Qing brothers, the disabled and the young, had succeeded in introducing themselves, they all crowded around.They knew that Uncle Gu was very shrewd, but Mrs. Fang and that child were very soft-hearted, and they all circled around them all the time.

A woman, regardless of the crowd, pulled a pair of children to the front and said to Fang: "Well-meaning wife, take me back. I have no man. I only have these two children at home. I can farm. You can do all the chores in the kitchen, take them back, and the young couple will be at your disposal."

Cheng Qing stood in the way and prevented those people from touching Fang Shi and Luo Tiandu: "Stay back, don't crowd your wife and young lady."

The woman lived in the same shed with Cheng Qing, and when she saw that Cheng Qing had found a good place, she looked at her family coldly, and couldn't help "spit" at him, saying: "A disabled man won't recognize anyone if he climbs into a good house. , get out of the way quickly."

When Cheng Qing was scolded by her, she didn't even frown, she just stood on the periphery, separating those refugees.On the other hand, Cheng Sheng, seeing the woman insulting his elder brother, was so angry that his eyes would burst into flames. If Cheng Qing hadn't stopped him, Luo Tian felt that he could rush forward and bite the woman.

Uncle Gu looked at it coldly. Although this young man with a scarred face had lost an arm, he had a very good look and was a little satisfied in his heart.If he and Luo Baisu go to Beijing, the family really needs someone who can take the lead. This Cheng Qing can play a little bit, even if one hand is broken, the foundation is still there, stay at home, and he can still take care of the home.

Later, the Fang family of Luo Tiandu followed Gu Bo to pick out an older black-faced girl and a dark, thin, stuttering young man.

Then I went to Mrs. Liu to do the paperwork. The black-faced girl Axiu, the stuttering young Jiang Xia and the scar-faced brother Cheng Qing bought out the contract of sale together. Only Cheng Qing's little brother was treated as a hired worker according to Cheng Qing's wishes. , but Cheng Sheng knew that he was too young to do any heavy work. He only said that there was no wages for the first few years, as long as the head of the house had a corner to hide in.

Luo Tian was deeply shocked, this is Hongguoguo's hired child labor, and they are still free without wages.But seeing Uncle Gu, Brother Cheng Qing and even Granny Liu's expressions of taking it for granted, she swallowed the words in her heart again.

No way, everyone’s life is not easy, even if they are sold to someone else’s family, they will have a place to stay and have food to eat, but if they stay in this shed, they will freeze to death and starve to death if the weather gets warmer died.

After writing the paperwork and paying dozens of taxes as usual, the matter is over.

Because it was getting late, Mrs. Fang and Uncle Gu led the people back first, and let Luo Baisu handle the household registration of the brothers of the Cheng family. He works in the Yamen, so it is convenient to apply for a household registration.

When they came, it was Gu Bo who drove the car, and when they went, the stuttering young man took Gu Bo's place with a very winking look, and drove the car by himself.There was a brazier in the car, and the others sat on the cart, looking at Fang Shi and Gu Bo anxiously.

The sun always sets early in winter, and in the afternoon, when the sun shines on people, they can no longer feel how warm they are.Luo Tian was wearing down jackets, hats and gloves, which were better, while Cheng Qing and the others were still wearing thin single clothes, and when the wind blew, they shivered from the cold.

Luo Tiandu kicked the brazier towards the opposite side, and the sparks splashed from the brazier burned a hole in her pants.

Fang glared at her, and said, "You should sit still."
