Eating dumplings and sprinkling fruits is considered a good start.

The villagers gathered outside, making a lot of noise, but everyone present got a few candies, thinking of giving them to their children at home, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Many women were talking in a low voice, guessing when the Lin family would start hiring people.

When the Lin family first started out, there were a lot of people saying sour things about them.

Even if the mud dries up, it can't be used to paste the wall.

Some people also think that the Lin family is secretive about everything they do and is not honest, and that they should let the villagers do it together.

Ever since Lin Dajiang's family started making preserved eggs and recruiting people in the village, gradually, fewer people started gossiping, and when people met the Lin family, they all greeted them with a smile.

Later, the Lin family hired people to make sausages, and the villagers were no longer jealous and started scrambling to find a job in the Lin family.

There were people visiting the Lin family every day, and not only the Lin family, but also the threshold of the village head's house had been trampled down.

People from other villages are jealous of those who are looking for chance encounters in this village, especially those from Xialin Village. If they have no connections, they can just try to make connections with them. The main goal is to not be left behind.

Especially those families who married wives from Xialin Village, have people visiting their homes almost every day these days.

However, Shanglin Village is particularly united at this moment, and every household is united against the outside world.

What a joke! The people in our own village haven't found a place to stay yet, so how can we give it to people from other villages?

In the following days, there was no peace in the main hall of the village.

The reason was simple. Lin Dajiang told the head of the village that his family was busy wrapping eggs and preparing meat, so they really couldn't spare any extra space to select someone.

Lin Xiaoman asked Xie Ci'an to help write forty contracts early on, which included wages and benefits. The most important thing was that Lin Xiaoman wrote down all the constraints she could think of into the contracts.

There are so many rules and regulations, so let me be frank with you first.

Human hearts are uncontrollable, especially when they are all from the same village. They are fellow villagers and will see each other every day.

It will be difficult to deal with something that you can't figure out later.

As soon as the contract came out, Li Taohua asked those who had been working for the Lin family to sign it, even the Li family members were no exception.

The contract is signed once a year, and those who sign the contract will receive gifts during festivals.

Lin Da's second son, Lin Yaowen, read the deed to the villagers. He heard that the wages would be 30 cents a day, and if the work was good, there would be a reward of 2 to 5 cents on top of the 30 cents.

The people of Shanglin Village were all excited.

After hearing this, who knew there was something even better - as long as you signed the contract, you would get gifts during festivals. If you did well, you could be promoted to a manager, and if you were a manager, you would definitely get paid.

But there are too many sheep and little meat. The Lin family said that they would recruit 15 people temporarily, but every household in Shanglin Village has at least a hundred able-bodied laborers.

"Do you have any requirements?"

"When will you hire people for the job?"

"It's the off-season, brother Dajiang, choose me! I'm strong and hardworking!"

"Brother Jiang, choose me, choose me, I'm stronger than Wang Daniu!"

"It's no use having great strength. You have to be diligent and conscientious. Dajiang, do you think I can do it? I'm a good hand in the fields."

Someone in the crowd asked impatiently.

The daily wages are really too enviable, only a few taels of silver a month?

The middle-aged men in the crowd were rubbing their hands, hoping to be selected by the Lin family. If they were selected, they would be able to make new cotton-padded jackets for their children during the New Year.

"Dajiang, what kind of person are you going to recruit?" The villagers could no longer hold back.

Lin Dajiang cleared his throat. He was really forcing things this time. The contract was agreed upon by Xiaoman, Taohua and Jingzhe, and then asked to be written by Xie Ci'an. He just saw it today.

But there was no other way, since he was the head of the family, he had to bite the bullet and do it.

When the villagers of Shanglin Village saw Lin Dajiang stand up and speak, they suddenly became anxious and pushed each other, scrambling to get forward.

Li Erli, Lin Da and Lin Jingzhe couldn't stop them.

"Fellow villagers, don't be impatient." Lin Dajiang shouted, "Be quiet and listen to me. Let's not just look at the wages and gifts in the deed, let's look at the rest."

Afterwards, Lin Yaowen read out the following rules and regulations.

When the villagers heard that those who stole things would have to pay compensation and be fired, and those who were lazy would also have their wages deducted, they immediately lowered their heads and started discussing.

"What? Deducting wages for being lazy?"

"You have to pay ten times the amount for stealing?"

......

"Dajiang, we will never be sneaky or dishonest. Whoever dares to take it privately will be driven out of Shanglin Village!" Uncle Wang's powerful voice rang out.

His eldest daughter-in-law got a lot of benefits from working for the Lin family. Not to mention anything else, everyone in the village knew that the Lin family was kind and paid their wages on time.

In addition, the Lin family likes to cook fresh food, and Xiaoman always takes it out to share with the workers. His grandchildren always wait at the door in the evening. If they see food, they shout with joy, which almost makes his ears deaf.

Whatever Lin Dajiang says now, he will definitely support it wholeheartedly.

"As long as everyone works honestly, what's the big deal about being fined? What? Do you really want to hide the things back home?" Uncle Wang looked at everyone with his hands behind his back.

"Brother Wang is right, Dajiang, if anyone disobeys, you have to do as written in the contract." The head of the village had a stern face. How could these people not distinguish the important from the unimportant?

"If anyone disagrees, tell the elders and let them decide!"

When the villagers heard that the headman had moved all the elders out, they looked at each other and immediately fell silent.

In Shanglin Village, Lin and Wang are the major surnames, and there are only four or five families with other surnames.

Generally, the elders are invited out only when there is a big event in the family, such as dividing the family.

It can be seen that it was a big deal for the village head to invite the elders of the Lin and Wang clans.

"Mr. Li Zheng, I'm just asking casually. I don't mean anything else. Don't you want Dajiang to choose someone quickly?"

"Yes, yes! Otherwise, it's like a knife hanging over your heart, unable to move up or down."

Seeing that everyone was almost quiet, Lin Dajiang told the villagers about today's selection process.

"What? Interview? What's an interview?"

When Lin Dajiang first heard this, he was just as confused as the villagers, so he patiently explained: "For example, when a matchmaker is acting as a matchmaker, she always has to find an opportunity for both parties to see each other. The so-called interview is that the two parties talk face to face. If they think each other is suitable, they sign the contract, and we will act according to the contract in the future."

"Okay, Brother Dajiang, let's get started!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Dajiang and the village head sat down at a long table in the inner room. Lin Jingzhe and Li Erli maintained the scene, while Lin Da led the villagers into the inner room of the main hall.

An hour passed and only one third of the team had gone there.

The villagers waiting outside were nervous and anxious, but also a little expectant. When they saw the people inside coming out with their heads down, their hearts also began to tighten.

But when they saw people from other villages being stopped outside the yard of the headman's house and crowding at the gate, looking in with envy, the people in the queue felt proud and straightened their backs unconsciously.
