After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life
Chapter 54 How to Fill the Pit
Seeing the looks of the two little ones, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but smile and speak.
"I'm back, but I haven't eaten yet. Coincidentally, there are two pancakes left. Eat them first to fill your stomach. I'll fry two more for you..."
When Han Yiyi saw the egg pancake handed over by Aunt Zhang and the wild vegetable pancakes in San Ya and the others' hands, she hurriedly spoke.
"Aunt, you don't have to worry about that. I've already eaten in town and saved some for Si Ya and the others..."
He rubbed the two little guys' heads and spoke a little embarrassedly.
"These two little guys are causing trouble for their aunt again..."
"Why are you so polite to me? Besides, the two little guys are well-behaved and obedient. I don't know how much better they are than these naughty monkeys in my house..."
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Han Yiyi remembered that she hadn't seen Daniu yet. She had come here to talk to him about furniture weaving and wages.
Now that I haven’t seen anyone, I think it’s the same for Aunt Zhang.
Because the things Han Yiyi wanted, such as a rocking recliner and a sofa chair, were not available in this era, and Daniu probably didn't know how to charge for them, Han Yiyi thought of just paying him by the day, so he spoke.
"Aunt, Da Niu is not at home, so I told you this. I have this idea. I need to weave a lot of things, such as stools, chairs, winnowing baskets, vegetable baskets and some furniture. There are so many things and they are so diverse that it is not easy to calculate the money for each one. How about this, I will pay Da Niu two hundred coins a day, and provide a meal at noon. The wages can be paid daily, or after all the work is done..."
Originally, Han Yiyi planned to pay her 500 coins a day, but was worried that she would not accept it, so he said 200 coins.
When Aunt Zhang heard Han Yiyi's words, she opened her mouth in shock.
You know, a strong laborer can only earn twenty or thirty cents at most by carrying packing goods at the town dock for a whole day, and he has to bring his own food. Now, one day is equivalent to more than ten days for them.
Besides, they were just some bamboo weavings, and they wouldn’t cost much money even if they were bought in town. So as soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, Aunt Zhang hurriedly spoke.
"No, no, it's just a few bamboo weavings, how can I ask for two hundred coins a day..."
Han Yiyi saw that Aunt Zhang was very emotional, so she continued speaking before she finished speaking.
"Aunt, Daniu's job is a technical one. Besides, I know that Daniu can weave bamboo quickly and well. Aunt Zhang, you don't agree because you think two hundred coins a day is too little..."
Aunt Zhang knew that Han Yiyi said this on purpose, and she couldn't help but pull her sleeve to press against the corners of her eyes. When she spoke again, her voice was obviously choked.
"Han girl, I know you want to help me, but it's not easy for you to take care of two children alone. You should save some of the money you have. When the children grow up, they will need money in many places..."
When Han Yiyi heard Aunt Zhang's words, a warm feeling ran through her heart. She knew that Aunt Zhang really treated her as a family member, so she stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said with a smile.
"Aunt, if you still don't agree, then I will go find someone else. I think someone else will be willing to accept my two hundred coins a day..."
"You girl..."
After discussing with Aunt Zhang and settling all the wages together, he took the two little ones away.
The house has been built now. Zhuzi was worried that it would be unsafe for the orphan and widow to live there, so he specially placed many sharp broken porcelain pieces on the wall.
According to the original owner's memory, although this place is located in the south, it is still very cold in winter. Han Yiyi is afraid of cold, and there is no air conditioning or heater here. Therefore, apart from the guest room, the rooms of the three of them have kangs, so they are not afraid of the cold in winter.
The house has been built now. I have time to clean it up in the afternoon and I can move in tomorrow.
Han Yiyi originally thought that after moving in tomorrow, she would invite Aunt Zhang and the village chief's families to come over for a meal. Later, she thought it better to wait a few days until all the furniture in the house was purchased before doing so. That way, there would be no need to worry about having no place to sit when people came.
When Daniu learned that Han Yiyi gave him two hundred coins a day, he was so surprised that his eyes widened. He also knew that Han Yiyi was thinking of helping their family, so he secretly made up his mind not to be lazy when doing it, and to do it as quickly as possible, and strive to finish everything in one day.
However, he didn't expect that most of the things Han Yiyi asked him to compile, except for some common ones, he had never heard of them before, and he could only rely on Han Yiyi's description and slowly explore.
As a result, the time naturally took longer. In addition, the food eaten at Han Yi's family these days not only included vegetables and meat, but the steamed buns were all made of white flour. This made Da Niu feel even more embarrassed. Therefore, sometimes if he couldn't figure something out during the day, he would slowly think about it at home at night.
It took half a month to finally make everything Han Yiyi had thought of. Han Yiyi looked at the recliners and sofas that could be called modern handicrafts, and he sincerely admired the craftsmanship of the great man.
As the weather is getting colder, Han Yiyi wants to go to town to buy a big wooden barrel so that she doesn't have to worry about catching a cold when washing at night.
But after what happened last time, Han Yiyi was still a little worried that Ye Cuihua's evil cousin would cause trouble for her again, so she asked Manager Tong to bring back the barbecue ingredients when he came to get them, so that everything for the new house would be complete.
In fact, Han Yiyi was a little overthinking about Ye Qianan. When he saw everyone else being arrested that day, he was a little scared.
In addition, he later spent some money to visit the prison, and found that several people had been beaten almost beyond recognition. He also heard the yamen runners talking about how these people might never get out in this life. Therefore, before he figured out the relationship between Han Yiyi and Tong Zhanggui, he dared not act rashly.
As for Ye Cuihua, she originally thought that her cousin could handle the matter. In addition, she was keeping an eye on Huang Laozi every day, worried that he would add pig manure to food and tea, so she forgot about this matter for a while.
During this period, Yunlai Restaurant came to deliver barbecue ingredients twice, and Han Yiyi's small treasury added another four hundred taels. However, just as Han Yiyi expected, the amount of barbecue ingredients used would become less and less. After all, no matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it after eating it for a long time.
She thought to herself that it would be great if she could just use a small can of barbecue ingredients every day in the future. That way, Han Yiyi wouldn't have to worry about using too much and getting exposed. After all, she hadn't figured out how to fill this hole yet.
Both times, it was Manager Tong who personally brought people to get the barbecue ingredients. When he saw Han Yiyi's house, he was very surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful house in the village. But when he thought that the money Han Yiyi earned from him was enough to build three such houses, he didn't find it strange.
But when he saw the recliner made by Daniu that could rock back and forth, he couldn't let it go. Seeing this, Han Yiyi couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly. It was worth it that she put this thing in a conspicuous place.
