Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Yao Dazui wanted to ask again, but her man stopped her: "We can do whatever Mr. Xu tells us to do."

The eldest son also echoed: "Mom, I think it's good. It's easier to pull branches than to dig stones. The rocks are heavy. We have to carry them down from the mountain, so why don't we have to work hard? Aniang, let's just worry about it. Just follow the instructions and do the work."

After hearing this, Yao Dazui thought it made sense and was persuaded.

The five members of Yao Dazui's family hurriedly joined the large army and waited for Xu Lizheng to assign work to them.

According to the requirements of the government, the villagers in each village are responsible for managing the villagers in the village, dividing the work into areas and supervising each other. The yamen are specifically responsible for calculating the workload.

Xu Lizheng said: "The elders are responsible for cutting down the trees, and the women and half-grown children are responsible for pulling the branches. There will be venomous snakes and insects in the mountains and forests. Those of you in front must sprinkle realgar powder, and the women and children following behind should also pay more attention." some."

The villagers were full of surprises: "This is the first time I have heard of such a considerate arrangement."

Yao Dazui asked loudly: "Li Zheng, is this realgar powder distributed for free by Lord Marquis?"

Xu Lizheng shook his head and denied: "It was not given by Mr. Hou, but by Mrs. Hou."

Yao Dazui continued to take advantage of her loud voice and led the people to praise Xu Ning: "Mrs. Hou is kind-hearted and beautiful. Mr. Hou is really a blessing!"

"Master Hou is just blessed."

"Mrs. Hou is a prosperous husband!"

When Butcher Xu heard what Yao Dazui said, he couldn't keep the corners of his mouth down. Even though he knew that Yao Dazui and others were deliberately saying nice things to him, he was still happy!

Ning Niang of his family is a prosperous husband! That’s right!

Villagers from ten miles and eight townships are led by their respective Li Zheng and assigned work.

The refugees haven't spoken to anyone yet. I don't know if Magistrate Wang forgot about it or deliberately didn't arrange it.

After the refugees arrived at the river embankment, they formed small groups and voluntarily kept a distance from Yao Dazui and other local villagers. They only watched from a distance, and no one dared to come forward to say hello to the government officials.

Magistrate Wang designated the person responsible for managing the labor arrangements for the refugees to be Yamen Liu. He led the Yamen to divide the work areas, and the burden of allocating work to the refugees fell on Butcher Xu.

Butcher Xu and Li Zheng drew lots to decide which area the refugees would be assigned to do the preliminary cleanup work, making the distribution as fair and equitable as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Lu Changle put down her backpack, put on the straw gloves knitted by her grandpa, turned to Lu Changping and said, "Brother, I want to go over and ask Mrs. Xu how much work we have to do to calculate five cents."

Lu Changping had no objection. He told Changle's mother, "Uncle, Changle and I will come back as soon as we go."

Mrs. Lu warned: "Changping, Changle, Mr. Xu is the father-in-law of the Marquis, you should be more respectful."

After giving the instructions, Mrs. Lu looked at Butcher Xu's fierce look, and felt really uneasy. She mustered up her courage and said, "I'm with you."

Lu Changping and Lu Changle looked at each other, nodded obediently, and stood behind Lu, acting as timid juniors.

When she looked back and saw the two children walking with their heads down, Lu was filled with energy - she was the mother of the children and an elder, and she had to move forward bravely, otherwise her children would be the first ones to rush forward.

Mrs. Lu came to Butcher Xu. When she wanted to ask, she looked at Butcher Xu and took three steps back in fright.

Butcher Xu frowned and asked in a deep and hoarse voice, "What's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Lu was frightened by the unsmiling Butcher Xu. She was so frightened that she lost the ability to speak. She opened and closed her mouth and was half speechless.

Lu Changle wanted to ask, but her elder brother Lu Changping grabbed her and shook his head at her.

"Brother..."

Lu Changping said: "The aunt must stand up on her own. You don't want to see the aunt being beaten every day, right?"

If Lu hadn't taken the initiative to walk in front of the two brothers and sisters, Lu Changping would not have stopped Lu Changle. He had never dealt with Xu Butcher and was afraid that Xu Butcher would be angry with Lu.

Lu Changle thought of the bruises on her mother's body and couldn't say anything against it. She forced herself to turn her head away from her mother, who was trembling with fear.

She hopes that her mother-in-law can stand up and stop being used as a punching bag by her father.

"What do you want from me, woman?" Butcher Xu asked again.

Mrs. Lu quietly took a look at Butcher Xu and found that he had a sinister face and was very fierce-looking. However, when she looked carefully, she could not see any ferocity in Butcher Xu. She calmed down and asked hesitantly: "Big, Sir, I, I would like to ask how much work my children and I have to do to earn five cents per person."

Butcher Xu's tone of voice was not gentle, but he made it very clear: "Your workload is assessed by the government officials. You mother and son just need to do more, and if you do enough, you can get fifteen cents. You are a new naturalized citizen. Are you a refugee? If the family of a newly naturalized refugee is short of food, you can exchange it for fifteen cents of food and take it home. The wages and food will be settled after work ends that day."

Mrs. Lu was so excited that she raised her voice: "Mr. Xu, can our newly naturalized refugees still exchange for food? At what price?"

Rather than wages, Mrs. Lu wants to exchange for food for the whole family to survive!

Butcher Xu emphatically emphasized: "Exchanging food for you at market prices and working for food is a special offer that our Chao'er family gives to you newly naturalized refugees. If you behave badly, cheat, steal public property, we will cancel this offer at any time." Discount. You weigh the importance yourself."

It is true that his family members are kind and generous, but he has never been taken advantage of. For those who just want to take advantage of the loopholes, he has many ways to let these people know why the flowers are so red and why they are so hungry.

Mrs. Lu said "I don't dare" several times, and returned to the two children happily: "Changping, Changle, Mrs. Xu said that the workload was assessed by the government servants, and he couldn't say how much work should be done. Accurate. But Mrs. Xu said that as long as we make enough, we can get fifteen cents of rations at the market price!"

Lu Changle was very happy: "Fifteen cents can be exchanged for several days of food rations!"

Lu Changping didn't appear so happy. He glanced around and all he saw were young and strong young men. "Auntie, Changle, we have to be careful. If someone robs our hard-earned food on the way home, , then wouldn’t our hard work be in vain?”

Lu and Lu Changle's smiles froze at the corners of their mouths. They were so happy that they forgot about the evil of human nature.

It is not unusual for refugees to flee from different places and then be recruited by different landlords and belong to different camps to fight for survival resources.

Lu Changping realized that he had poured cold water on his family and extinguished their family's hope and joy, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Auntie, Changle, I don't want to scare you, I just want you to pay more attention."

Mrs. Lu clenched the hemp rope in her hand and said with a serious face: "Changping, you must remind me in time. Otherwise, I will just be happy. When the food is exchanged, Changping, your legs and feet will be responsible for carrying the food. Changle will go ahead. I will be there." at last."
