Wen Family Has a Wife

  Chapter 66 Winter's Work

Hearing this, Wen Youshan narrowed his eyes comfortably. Although Chen Ningya had been comforting his family before that the family was not short of money, he still felt that the annual cost of repairing the two children was too heavy for him to breathe. He has saved so much money in one year, enough for his children to continue to study for five or six years. In the past five or six years, he will try harder, maybe he can save a few hundred taels at home, and wait for the two children to live in the county seat. When he was the accountant, he could buy them a yard or something. How beautiful.

Yes, his wish is very simple, that is, let the children be the accountants, and he doesn't expect Chen Ningya to make money by raising silkworms and weaving cloth. In his opinion, this is not reliable, it is just that he can find something for her. When doing things, people are more energetic. Besides, it costs 4 taels more to buy sloping land. If you can't raise silkworms and weave cloth, then he will plant some fruit trees, and he can't lose any money. Knowing what he had in mind, he definitely wanted to hit someone.

After the autumn harvest, there was another upsurge of villagers going to the mountains. Wen Youshan has learned to be good this time. If he can't join in the fun, he won't join in the fun. Others go to the mountains to find food. He went to the mountains to find wood. A few to help him find, of course, must be paid.

   When everyone saw that the Wen family had made a big move again, they thought he was going to renovate the front yard as well.

Wen Youshan is also direct. As long as it comes to the door, he will directly say that this is the furniture they want without waiting for anyone to speak. When everyone hears it, they will come back to their senses. Isn't it right, they are still a carpenter, so I can get some wood What's so strange.

Having said that, the villagers who were watching the excitement immediately dispersed, what to do, and some people asked Wen Youshan about the price of the screen. In the spring, the little girl of the Huang family got married, but it caused quite a stir, especially From the mother-in-law's side, I heard that her eyes were straight when she saw the dowry. Originally, the Huang family girl's mother-in-law wanted to take Qiao, but she was beaten by the dowry. The price was pushed by Wen Youshan. He only said that he would only pick up the job in winter, and it would be winter in a few months.

Wen Youshan originally didn't want to pick it up, but there were too many people who came to inquire. In the end, he had to call Sun Laifu Zhang Mingyi and the others over to discuss. Although they were not carpenters, the people in the village more or less would do carpentry and plan a piece of wood. There is definitely no problem with anything. When the time comes, ask them to come and help, and it is not impossible to give some money.

In the winter, everyone is idle at home. How can a big guy refuse to earn a little money? He agreed immediately. Wen Youshan breathed a sigh of relief and let out the wind to pick up the job. In the end, it took only half a month of work, and he has already accepted it here. After six orders, the wood that I had stockpiled before was not enough at all, so I had no choice but to ask people to go up the mountain a few times.

Just after the frost fell, the wood work of the Wen family started in full swing. Wen Youshan only needed to lead a few people to plan out the required wooden boards, and Sun Laifu and the others would do the rest. After the few people in the front yard, he went to the back yard and Chen Ningya to study the weaving tools. In the past few months, he has made three simpler tools for Chen Ningya. The most complicated one is just now. At first, a lot of parts were made, but the more he made him, the more uncertain he became, and he didn't know if he could make it this winter.

As soon as people get busy, many things are left behind. The yard of Wen's house is full of banging sounds. Sun Laifu and the others have been working for 20 days in a row, but they don't even realize that they have been giving them all the time. The food was delivered by a little girl named Wen Yuanzhen, and even Wen Youshan, who invited them to the door, only showed up once in a while, until the day when the wages were settled, Sun Laifu patted his forehead and said with wide eyes, "I don't know about Youshan and his wife. What are you doing? We have been here for so many days and have met Youshan a few times. He won't just throw all his work to us, let's go on his own."

"I can't, Youshan is not the kind of lazy person." Zhang Mingyi said dryly, staring at Sun Laifu. To be honest, he couldn't think of what Wen Youshan could be busy with at the moment. It was snowing outside. It's all down to his ankles, can he still go into the mountains to hunt?

   Tao Deren, who was working silently, said quietly: "I think Youshan should also be working. Sometimes I can hear the sound of wood beating in the backyard. I guess I am busy with other things."

  Others looked like they were suddenly enlightened.

Sun Laifu saw that the main room, which was still spacious, had no place to stand because of their work, so he made up his mind automatically, and said understandingly: "It may be that some mountains gave us the space to go to the backyard to work. If you live, let’s talk about it, there are sisters-in-law and children in the backyard, so it’s not convenient for so many of us.”

When the others heard it, they didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, Wen Youshan finally showed up, and when he entered the door, he put the money bag on the table, grinning and saying, "It's been hard work for you for the past half a month, and we agreed before. , ten cents a day, four people is forty cents, twenty-three days total is nine hundred and twenty cents, there are nine hundred and fifty cents here, you guys will share one cent, and if you have more, buy some small wine or something Have a drink, it's time to relax after a year of hard work."

Before the winter, he received a total of 12 orders. Some people were poorer and only had a bed and a cabinet. He didn't say that the bed, the cabinet and the screen were 500 yuan, the dresser was 400 yuan, and the table was equipped with 400 yuan. Only a stool costs 400 yuan. As for the other fees, they are charged according to the complexity of the workmanship. Although they are a few dozen more expensive than others, the furniture made by others is not as beautiful and elegant as his. It will be a marriage once in this lifetime. this money.

This winter, he earned 17 to 600 yuan just for furniture. After deducting the capital, he made a net profit of ten. He couldn't figure out what was going on himself, could it really be a matter of time?

Sun Laifu slapped Wen Youshan heavily and was overjoyed, "Brother, it's alright, don't forget us when you make money, don't worry, when you buy a small wine, you will set a table at my house, and come over and drink it together. ."

   There is an extra thirty cents here, enough to buy two jars of small wine and some peanuts.

When Wen Youshan heard this, he directly took out a hundred wen from his arms and handed it to Sun Laifu, "You just keep the money, I'll invite you to drink small dimples, my wife is happy, and then you can ask your wife to cut some meat, Buy some wine, get two side dishes, let's go to your house and have a good drink."

   Where can one hundred cents be spent on a table of dishes, and the rest is the hard-earned money for Xiao Li, and everyone has no opinion.
