Chapter 126 Continue to build a house
Ever since I received Xiaofeng's letter last time and knew that Xiaofeng had actually started working with Li Mochen, Xiaoyue had also been running around with my uncle all day long.
Except when my uncle is at home with my uncle, Xiaoyue will consciously go back to her room, either reading or embroidering, the rest of the time.As soon as my uncle goes to the wasteland, Xiao Yue will follow.
Of course, he can't do much, he just watched and listened to what my uncle said, with a serious and studious look. What do you mean? After the uncle explained clearly, he began to listen quietly again.
This made Qi Lan couldn't help but wonder whether Xiaoyue would advance to become a qualified housekeeper in the future?
After thinking about it, his mind became brightened to Xiaofeng, that guy always wanted to marry Xiaoyue. Selfishly speaking, with Xiaofeng's current status, Qi Lan didn't quite agree with Xiaoyue being with him. Make it clear?
But if these two little guys really come together in the end, Qi Lan thought, it seems that he has to teach Xiaoyue something, but don't be with Xiaofeng in the future, he will be bullied, Qi Lan My nephew, no matter what, you can't let outsiders bully you, right?
"Uncle, are we really not going to take Xiao Hei with us?" Xiao Yue sat on the carriage, watching her getting farther and farther away from home.
It wasn't until he couldn't see at all that he turned to look at Qi Lan who was driving the carriage.
"Let Xiao Hei and Fucai Wangcai take care of the house, don't worry, we will be back soon."
Qi Lan flicked his horsewhip to make Da Qingniu speed up, because there was nothing important at home.
So the three little ones were all driven to the pigsty by Qi Lan.
After all, there are more than 100 pigs. Although they have only arrived home not long ago, they are not worth much, but the pig manure is rare.
So in order to get the pig manure needed for farming, Qi Lan resolutely sent all the three that hadn't grown up to them.
"Husband, we just went to Foreman Li to help build the house today, and then recruited people to help, isn't it too rushed?"
Su Fang was not with Qi Lan today, and Xiao Hei was not with Xiao Yue, so he sat beside Xiao Yue.
"It's okay, it's not long after the new year, and Foreman Li shouldn't be busy.
As for recruiting, because our requirements are different, and we can't find people in a short while, so it's not considered rushing. "
Qi Lan was driving the bullock cart, feeling the bumps under her buttocks, wondering if it was necessary to rebuild the road from Qinghe Town to Qijia Village, the potholes really made people suffer.
"You said you're looking for the kind of family that can't survive, and the whole family can move to your house to work?" Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help being stunned when he heard Qi Lan's request: "Are you looking for someone to buy?"
Human trafficking is normal, as long as it is not stolen, it is not considered a crime.It is normal for parents to buy and sell their children, or to buy and sell their own children;
Generally, when rich people buy servants, they often buy a family, so that the whole family is there, and there is no need to worry about other things.Because of this, Shopkeeper Wang has such doubts.
"No, no, shopkeeper Wang misunderstood, Xiao Fang and I don't like having other people in the family, so there is no need to buy someone back."
Qi Lan waved his hands again and again, considering the situation of their family, one more person is afraid that the secret will be leaked, how can they buy a family back: "That's right, I'm going to rebuild a yard on the other side of the grape field, specially for dry The living live.
As for why a family is needed, I just think it is better for such a family to work together.It doesn't matter if you have children, as long as the workers are paid, children don't care about anything else, it's no problem to take care of a mouthful of food. "
In fact, in his private heart, Qi Lan mainly felt that if the whole family worked together, it would give them a sense of belonging.
Especially for those who can't live in their hometown because of poverty, as long as they are willing to work in a country, they are not afraid of having no food, no clothes to wear, and no place to live.There is even a place to get wages. Seeing that the husband/husband/children around me don’t have to suffer from hunger, no one will have a different heart.
Although they are now protected by Mr. Qiao's big umbrella, who knows if there will be some monsters who come to pay their attention after knowing the reputation of Qijia Village?
So to be on the safe side, Qi Lan felt that it would be better to bring the whole family of the workers to his side, so as to avoid threats from family members.
Although Qi Lan didn't say these little worries, but shopkeeper Wang is no one.Although he is not a human being, it is almost the same. After a little thought, he will understand: "Well, I will help you pay attention to this aspect. Don't worry, little brother Qi, I promise that I will not let those who have evil intentions mix with you."
Qijia Village was very important to the owner at this time. Although it was only a small village, it allowed the owner to accumulate money quickly.And it won't mess with the important existence of the one above.
Of course, it can also be said that Qi Lan is very important, so shopkeeper Wang naturally knows what to do.
The two of them knew this matter well, which was why Qi Lan came directly to shopkeeper Wang instead of looking for someone by himself.
"Then I will leave this matter to Shopkeeper Wang. I will go to Foreman Li first. The sooner the house is built, the better, so as not to run out of time when the spring plowing begins."
Qi Lan bowed his hands and took his little husband and Xiaoyue to leave. Foreman Li told him before where he lived in the town, Qi Lan still remembered.
Foreman Li is not troublesome. It just so happens that he hasn't picked up work recently, and the workers under him are all in a hurry. Qi Lan just happened to catch up.
When he came back from Foreman Li, he suddenly saw a tofu shop carrying out bean dregs. Qi Lan suddenly remembered something. This bean dregs can also be fed to pigs, right?
In addition to bean dregs, there are distiller's grains, which can be used to feed pigs.And Qinghe Town happened to have two tofu shops and one brewery.
"Xiao Fang wait for me, I think of something that can be used to feed pigs."
Thinking of the more than 100 pigs at home, when they grow up and don't know how much they will eat, Qi Lan can't wait to collect all the pigs and weeds in the entire Qinghe Town into his home. .
The bean dregs from the tofu workshop and the distiller's grains from the brewery all ended up in Qi Lan's pocket without accident.
And what he paid was less than one or two taels of silver a month, and if he found a bullock cart driver and asked him to bring things back to Qijia Village from these places every morning, it would only cost two hundred copper coins a month.
