Chapter 413 The family is short of manpower
"Then you dare to come back and help me! You are not afraid of being chased and beaten by Mr. Lu!" Su Tai glared at him angrily and gave him a chopstick of tender beef. , "Take good care of it, I will still be busy after the new year!"
Shen Yi was very helpful, licking his face and asked Su Tai to get some more for her, and said: "The coal mine thing will probably be done. There are many people, especially the big families with deep roots in the area."
Su Tai paused as she scalded the beef, "Are you talking about the Zhu family?"
Shen Yi nodded slightly. "It's not just the Zhu family, there are several others. The main reason is that the county government can't come up with enough money to compensate them, so naturally it can't bear the losses."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just build pavilions and pavilions. That's too beautiful!" Su Tai curled her lips.
I am deeply aware of how difficult it is for Shen Yi.
“So when I came back this time, I saw that our village had built a wall. I was actually very happy. Apart from anything else, with the wall, your life in the village will be safer. In addition, I want to buy a few more. People come back to look after the home.
I am not at home. It’s not very safe for you, mother and child. If you go out again, it will be even more dangerous to leave four children at home.”
Shen Yi knew that Su Tai was unwilling to bring strangers into the house, but now. Different from the past, it was abnormal that their family didn't even have a servant.
Su Tai gritted her teeth and said: "You are right, but how can you guarantee the character of this person? My uncle's family stayed in the Bai Mansion. There was a nanny Li Cuilan in the front, and the Ma family also arrested her later. There are many moths that eat inside and outside, and there will be more troubles when there are more people.”< br>
Shen Yi knew what Su Tai said, thought about it, and suggested: "How about we go to Qiongzi to buy some children from poor families?"
"Why are you so suddenly? "Think?" Su Tai was a little surprised.
Shen Yi was quite helpless, "Zhaohua County has started mining coal, and every household has a way to make money. As long as they really can't survive, which good family is willing to sell their children? And what's more, our local people are right and wrong. More, but not as much Go to Qiongzi.
People there are living a hard life, and there are many families who cannot feed their children. If we choose carefully, we can choose a good one. As for what is special about our family, we can think about it. Way to cover up.”
Su Tai was reluctant at first, but after careful consideration, she felt that Shen Yi's suggestion was the most reliable. With four children at home, it was indeed not safe, and there was also Guokui Workshop, which was an inconspicuous small money-making business. We need to send more manpower. It is getting harder and harder to find manpower in the village now, especially when the farming season is busy, and orders have to be pushed out.
"Okay! Then it's up to you. When will it go?"
It takes a long time to go back and forth.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Spring plowing, I have arranged the spring plowing tasks in advance. I have to take people to the ice field and also go to Qiongzi by the way. It won't waste much time."< br>
When Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong heard this, they all clamored to go there together. Even the twins were ready to make a move, asking why their elder brother and sister could go to their aunt's house, but they would be left at home.
That natural little appearance made Su Tai's teeth itch with anger.
It is difficult for those who celebrate the New Year to teach their children, so they can only stare at them with big eyes and small eyes.
The next day was the first day of the first lunar month, and Shen Yi and Su Tai rarely got up late.
It is said that the stove is not turned on in the first month, so the couple should lie down together. As for the problem of eating, that is easy to deal with, so Su Tai went directly to Huo Shikong Food Street to buy food in the county.
The children asked a few questions in confusion.
Su Tai didn't say anything, and they didn't do anything.
Anyway, as long as you have something to eat, they won’t really care about it that much.
For the villagers, these days during the Chinese New Year are about eating, drinking, visiting relatives and friends, and feeling as comfortable as possible.
Except Su Tai and Shen Yi.
The two of them were lazy for two days.
After a trip to Dongmen Village on the second day of junior high school, the couple left the four children at Su's house and handed them over to Han and Su Chunlin. When they got back, they immediately got into busy seafood work. Su Tai spent a day fishing in the water space, while Shen Yi was holding a shovel outside to sort and stack various seafood.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers and tenant farmers from Zhangjia Village came to work in other courtyards.
The group of people walked outside the gate of the other courtyard and found that the door was only ajar and not locked. They tried to push it open, but there was only a small gap in the door, which was obviously not bolted.
Zhang Youfu was puzzled and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mrs. Shen, are you there? Open the door!"
"Here! Find a way to open the door! We can't get out either!" Su Tai's voice came from deep in the yard.
Everyone looked at each other.
Fang Wei made a prompt decision and called a few strong tenant farmers to push the door open.
As soon as the door opened a wider gap, frozen fish rushed out.
The tenant farmer who opened the door jumped in shock to avoid the "weapon" sliding down.
"Oh my God! What's going on! I haven't been here for a few days, and the goods have been buried in the yard?"
The villagers in Zhangjia Village looked at this scene in shock.
A few women huddled together swallowed hard, "How long will it take to finish this!"
"Ouch! Stop talking and do it quickly! One day It's one hundred and fifty yuan! I think I can be busy for ten days and a half!" Zhang Youfu was happy and worried at the same time, so he asked two more people to help him and pushed the door hard.
On this day, they worked very hard and only cleared the area near the door.
The banana leaves in the rattan baskets used for packaging were thrown out by Shen Yi with great effort.
The packed goods cannot be sent to the warehouse, so they can only be temporarily piled in the thatched shed.
Fang was worried and called a dozen tenants to keep watch together.
They were still calculating how long it would take to finish processing the seafood in the yard, unaware that Su Tai was still pouring it in.
Everyone hurriedly waited until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to finish loading all the seafood in the yard.
At this time, all the rooms in the yard were turned into warehouses, filled with all kinds of seafood. Even the yard was full, and half of the thatched shed outside the yard was occupied.
It is not safe to store so much goods here.
Su Tai could only contact Ma Xingteng to come and take away part of it.
Ma Xingteng is quite fast, but his face is a bit smelly.
Su Tai raised her eyebrows, "What's going on? Aren't you happy to let you make money?"
Ma Xingteng was about to cry but had no tears, "Brothers and sisters, I have not been idle this whole year. I finally wanted to take a good rest, but now my plans are all gone! Alas! I just work hard!"
"How about that? Should I find someone else to do it?"
As soon as Su Tai opened her mouth, Ma Xingteng immediately asked his servants to move the goods. He was afraid that if it was too late, Su Tai would have some thoughts that he shouldn't have. If the deal was gone, he would not even go back. I couldn’t eat and walked around.
Su Tai looked at his attentive look and sneered, "You're so cute!" I can’t control you yet!
Unfortunately, Ma Xingteng's caravan is still too small. Although he works hard, he can only clear three thatched sheds, leaving two thatched sheds with no place to store their goods.
Just when Su Tai had a headache, the caravan finally came back.
