Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 290 Do it well
As soon as the two left, Zhang Shanfeng said to Xiao Lan, "The conditions you offered are too generous. This is not just recruiting a long-term worker. Even the guys in town don't get this kind of treatment..." Then he thought of the treatment of several long-term workers in his family, and he stopped talking.
Xiao Lan smiled and said to him, "I pay a lot of money, but our work is also heavy."
"I will have them start tilling the soil tomorrow, and then I will have the farmhands at home lead them to work tomorrow..."
The next day, Dashan and Chengcai came. Xiaolan introduced the two parties to each other, then took out two contracts and said to them, "This is the deed. You have to work for my family for ten years. After ten years, it is up to you whether you want to leave or stay."
Dashan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Boss, then, when I save up some money, can I get married?"
Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Isn't this something you decide for yourself?"
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and explained, "Xiao Lan, whether the farmhand can get married or not, this matter needs the approval of the master."
After hearing Zhang Shanfeng's explanation, Xiao Lan sighed in her heart that this master was being too nosy.
Zhang Shanfeng seemed to know what Xiao Lan was thinking, so he lowered his voice and said to her, "As long as the farmhand moves in, if he gets married in the future, it will be an extra pair of chopsticks, but it will also be an extra laborer. But when they have children, it will be different. How useful do you think a child under eight years old can be?"
Xiao Lan suddenly realized, looked at Da Shan's flushed face and said to reassure him, "As for the matter of marrying a wife, you can make your own decision. If you want to marry, just marry her. If you do well, and the experimental field has some results, I can help you with some betrothal gifts and so on."
Dashan didn't take it seriously at first. After all, he knew the rules of being a farmhand, and he had already planned to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He couldn't even support himself, so how could he have the money to marry a wife?
But when he heard Xiao Lan say this, his eyes lit up immediately. If he could marry a daughter-in-law with the help of the host family, it would be completely different.
Dashan patted his chest and repeatedly assured, "Don't worry, boss, we will work hard."
Chengcai also responded quickly.
Xiao Lan was very satisfied with their statements. After signing the contract with them, she took them to the field, pointed out her family's land to them, and then took them to see a specially designated experimental field. "This is the experimental field. If you want to achieve results, you must take good care of this land. While it's not cold and the ground is not frozen, let's turn the land over first..."
Dashan and Chengcai both said it was no problem, and they went to plow the land, one after the other. Xiaolan watched them for a while and felt that the family needed some more livestock, or they could also lead some out from the pasture to plow the land.
In the afternoon, Xiao Lan went to the clothing store in town and bought two sets of clothes for Dashan and Chengcai, and brought two bags of food to them. "The vegetables are in the garden. If you can't find me, just look for my dad or grandpa. You can ask them if you don't understand anything."
Dashan and Chengcai agreed respectfully. After Xiaolan left, they stood up straight. Dashan touched the brand new clothes he had just put on and exclaimed, "This is the first time I've worn such brand new clothes since I was a child."
"So, what the boss said is true. Let's follow the boss and work hard. As long as we make achievements in the experimental field, the boss will definitely give me a betrothal gift to marry me."
"Do you really want to get married?" Chengcai didn't quite understand Dashan.
"I'm different from you. You have a wife and children, but I'm still a bachelor." Dashan sighed and continued, "I'm the only one left in my family. If I don't get married, my family will be extinct."
"Look how good it is now, we have fallen into a blessed nest. Now I feel that life has a purpose. Come on, let's change into clothes for working in the fields. Although the boss said that we should focus our main energy on the experimental fields, we can't neglect the other lands at home. Maybe the boss will see our diligence and find me a wife in a few years." Dashan said happily.
Chengcai was also full of energy after hearing this. He changed into work clothes with Dashan, then carried the plow and went to the field again.
Recently, Xin has been secretly observing the two of them. Xiao Lan has been busy reconciling accounts and has no time to take care of them. Xin is worried and has been observing them secretly.
After observing them for a week, she was very satisfied to see that the two of them were still working in the fields from morning till night. She said to her daughter Zhang, "Although Xiaolan is young, she has a very sharp eye. The people we selected are all top-notch. They have sharp eyes and are diligent. I think Dashan and Chengcai are full of energy even if no one is watching them."
Zhang pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother, just put your mind at ease. Since your granddaughter dared to abandon me, it means she has already arranged the follow-up..."
Xin curled her lips and muttered, "Your daughter praises herself like a flower. Even if she says shit smells good, would you believe her? Why do you just go along with her like that?"
Zhang knew that Xin was joking, and that Xin treated Xiaolan much better than her mother. Now she was just making up an excuse to deliberately annoy Zhang.
"The children have been working hard to reconcile accounts recently. Why don't we go to the town and buy some meat to feed them?" Zhang said.
"Didn't Pang Xiu'e's family just come back from Hejian County? The New Year is almost here. Did they go there again before the New Year?" That day, Zhao came over from the town to visit and chatted animatedly with Zhang on the kang.
"Yes, they went again after Chunhua came back from her engagement. They just came back now." Zhao said, "They probably won't go before the New Year. If you want to take anything with you, I'll ask the people in town when I get back and ask them to help take it with you. When the time comes, just let me know."
"Aunt Zhao, will your family buy mutton and beef this year?" Xiao Lan asked Zhao.
"What? You want to sell it to my family?" Zhao said with a smile.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Xiao Lan sold a batch of sheep from the ranch. This year, most of the mutton in Liaodong Prefecture came from her ranch. This was no secret, and Zhao naturally knew about it.
