Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free
Chapter 48 Those who should leave will leave, and those who should come will come
Tenant farmers do not have their own land, so they rent other people's land to grow crops, and then pay a percentage of the harvest to the landowner. When they have free time, they go out to find work.
When I came here, I found that there were many such residents a few miles away from this manor, separated by a mountain. It should be more convenient to go there to find people than to go back and call them.
As soon as I walked into the village, I saw a man in his 30s squatting at the door of a thatched house with empty eyes. There was a little girl next to him, playing with mud. They must be a father and daughter.
I wanted to find out more, so I walked over and asked, "Big brother, can I have a bowl of water from you?"
The man was a little slow to react and looked at me in a daze. But the little girl next to him stood up smartly and said, "Auntie, wait a minute, I'll pour it for you." Soon she filled a bowl of water in a ceramic bowl and brought it out.
A pair of dark eyes that are clear and bright. This is a particularly likable child.
After drinking the water, I took out a steamed bun from my cuff and handed it to her: "Thank you, this steamed bun is for you to eat. I'll give it to you as a replacement for the water you drink."
The little girl, not daring to take it and looking back at her father, called out, "Daddy, Auntie wants to give me something to eat."
The man came to his senses and said, "No, no, it's not worth it for just a bowl of water."
This is a very honest person, let’s start asking her today!
I put the bun into the little girl's hand and said, "This is not for you, but for the little girl. If you feel embarrassed, why not do me a favor? I want to find out something."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, tell me what I know."
"Brother, what's your last name? How long have you lived here? Do you know everyone here?"
"My last name is Zhang, girl. I've lived here since I was not even born. There is no one here that I don't know."
"Brother Zhang, do you people here need anything to do?"
When the man heard this, his face immediately lit up: "Sister, we have 98 households here, and there is nothing to do in the fields now. As long as there is work to do, there must be someone to do it? I just don't know where you want to find people to do it? How many people do you need?"
"Not far away, just inside the manor on the other side of the mountain. 20 wen a day, after you finish your work, you can have lunch there. I'll take ten for now, but no lazy people. If I find out, I'll fire you immediately."
Brother Zhang: "Sure, I don't know when my elder sister will need someone."
Me: "If there is someone, we can go there tomorrow."
Brother Zhang: "Sister, wait a moment. I'll go ask Niuniu now. You play here with auntie for a while. Daddy will be out for a while and will be back soon."
Niuniu: "Then Dad, you have to come back soon!"
Brother Zhang nodded at me and left. Soon he knocked on the door next door. I heard a crackling sound of footsteps again, and soon he came over with a few people.
Brother Zhang: "Sister, what do you think of us? We have all worked outside before. As long as we are assigned a task, we can do it well!"
I nodded secretly in my heart that I found someone so quickly. It seems that Brother Zhang is quite popular in this village. "Okay, but I'll tell you the price again first. The wages are 20 coins a day, and you can have lunch there. I'll pay you after everything is done. If you are willing, you can start work tomorrow."
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
Me: "Who of you is free today? Come with me to take a look. You can find the place tomorrow morning, so just come over."
Brother Zhang: "Okay, then we'll go with you. Niuniu, go play with Huzi next door for a while, and then pick him up when Daddy comes back, okay?"
Niuniu: "Daddy, can't you take me with you?"
I was a little puzzled: "Where is the child's mother?"
A man next to me answered me: "He is gone. He and his daughter are the only ones living together at home!"
Me: "Brother Zhang, if you are not afraid of getting tired, just take it there. It's not many miles away anyway. Today we are just going to find a place."
Brother Zhang whispered, "Thank you!" but he finally bent down and picked up his daughter.
Some people quickly returned to the place where they were doing things.
Brother He, seeing the group coming over, hurried over to say hello: "Sister, are these people here to do work?"
Me: "Yes, Brother He, they will come over tomorrow to officially start the work. Let them come over today to take a look around and get to know the place, so you don't have to worry about them not being able to find it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay," Brother He ran over and chatted with them for a few more words before going back to work.
Me: "Come here to see me tomorrow, or find Brother He, and I'll arrange things for you then. I just want you to come earlier, because we get things done earlier here."
Brother Zhang looked at his daughter in his arms and frowned. I knew he was probably worried about his daughter. I thought Sister He was cooking over there in the house and would not come to the construction site. So I said to Brother Zhang, "Sister He is cooking over here. If you really can't leave your daughter, why not ask her now to see if she is willing to help you take care of her during the day. If Sister He is willing, you can bring her here in the morning and take her back in the evening." Brother Zhang nodded in surprise, "That's great. Please take me to ask her."
When they arrived at the place where Mrs. He was cooking, she was washing vegetables. As soon as Niu Niu saw this, she immediately got down from her arms and started to help her.
I smiled: "Mrs. He has found a little helper for you, do you want one?"
He Dasao: "Sister, where did you kidnap this pretty little girl?"
Me: "Sister-in-law, I don't have the ability to take care of such a cute little girl. This is Brother Zhang's daughter. She will start working here tomorrow. The little girl has no one to take care of her. Can I stay with you during the day to watch her?"
When Brother Zhang heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Sister He and said, "I would like to ask you to help me take care of the children during the day. Is that okay? I can ask for less money."
Mrs. He: "It's not worth asking for less wages. Just bring the child to my place during the day. But I may deduct two yuan from you for food expenses. Ask the maid to eat lunch here during the day!"
Brother Zhang: "Of course, of course, Brother Zhang quickly agreed."
After seeing off Brother Zhang and the others, I stretched myself. I was really tired during this period! After dinner, I went back to sleep at the urging of Brother He and Sister He.
