After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

As for the modification and construction of the foundation, Master Wu has his own arrangements and plans.

After talking with the village chief, he knew what work he would do next.

It took the whole morning to complete the inspection and arrangements.

Wu Weibo said that he would take Lin Ting to decide on the blue bricks, stone slabs, wood, and the places on the wood that needed carving in the afternoon.

The sizes of the doors and windows of the house have also been calculated, and Huang the carpenter will start working on them. Once the house is built, the doors and windows will be installed directly.

Only by taking multiple approaches could Master Wu ensure that the construction would be completed within two months.

"Master Wu, take another look. If there are any problems, please tell me. I want the house to be as perfect as possible. If there are any problems that can be solved before building the house, we will solve them."

"it is good!"

At noon, Lin Ting planned to have lunch in the village and then go buy the necessary materials. She asked the village chief to get the work records of the workers.

Calculate the number of days the villagers worked and how much silver each person received.

When the villagers saw Lin Ting counting the silver, they all knew that today was the first day of the new year and Lin Ting was going to pay them last month's wages.

Although no one worked many days last month, it is exciting to get paid, no matter how much.

At lunch, everyone wolfed down their food, looking at Lin Ting from time to time. It was not because they were too hungry, but because they wanted to finish eating quickly and wait for Lin Ting to pay them.

Lin Ting said in the morning that she would go to customize blue bricks in the afternoon, so she would only be paid at noon.

Lin Ting ate at the same table with Yang Xiuxiu and the others. After everyone had finished eating, Yang Xiuxiu said to everyone.

"Everyone, don't leave after you finish eating. Come here and collect your wages for last month."

This made everyone very happy, and even the women in the village who had nothing to do came here to watch the fun.

They were talking and laughing, and many of them were men in their families. When the men in the family received their wages, it was equivalent to them receiving their wages, and their happiness was doubled.

Yang Xiuxiu set up a table for Lin Ting, and she and Aunt Jiang and Sister Yun went to clean up the dishes and wash them first.

Lin Ting will pay the wages of a group of men first, and then pay them.

The village chief and Shen Dali also sat on both sides of the table to assist Lin Ting.

"Everyone has worked so hard these days. As a woman, I can't say nice things, but thank you for all your hard work for our family.

You should have been paid yesterday, but due to some matters, it was delayed until today.

When I call out your name, please come forward. If the number of working days I gave is wrong, we will recheck it."

"Tian Wang, I worked for eight days in total, 30 wen a day, so my wages are 240 wen, Brother Tian, ​​is that right?"

Tian Wang is a simple and honest man. He has only been doing this for a few days, but he remembers everything very clearly.

"Yes, eight days."

Lin Ting asked Shen Dali to count out two hundred and forty silver coins to Tian Wang, and then asked Tian Wang to count them again in front of him. Only after confirming that everything was correct did he turn to the next person.

"Next one, Tian Tianhe!"

This man is Tian Wang's cousin and also Yun Saozi's husband.

Lin Ting didn't quite recognize him, so she looked at the village chief. The chief nodded, and then she continued.

"Tian Tianhe, eight days' work, thirty wen of silver a day, a total of two hundred and forty wen of silver."

"Tian Chengan..."

"Li Dong..."

"Wang Jiaxing..."

Lin Ting paid everyone's wages. Although it was only a few hundred coins this time, it was a pretty good income for the villagers.

How could they normally earn such a high income?

Some people, after receiving their wages, immediately showed them to their wives who were waiting outside. The whole family counted the money one after another, and everyone was filled with joy.

"Village Chief, this is yours! One hundred and eighty coins, count them."

The village chief arrived two days later than the villagers. He did not have to work. He only needed to supervise and record whether everyone came to work. His wages were the same as those of the villagers, which was thirty cents a day.

The village chief took the silver in his hand and smiled happily. He counted it and found it was just right.

After paying the people in front, Lin Ting turned around and called the cooks.

"Aunt Jiang, Sister Yun, Sister Hua, come here too."

"You guys go ahead, I'll sweep the floor."

Yang Xiuxiu also urged a few people over, saying that there wasn't much work to do, so she let everyone have some fun first.

"Aunt Jiang, I cooked for eight days, ten cents a day, which makes eighty cents in total. Aunt Jiang, you should count it too."

Shen Dali gave another eighty cents to Aunt Jiang, which made Aunt Jiang smile so much that she couldn't stop.

"What else do we need to count? Dali is not only good at working, but he's also good at counting."

"It's better to click it to feel more at ease." Shen Dali said.

Aunt Jiang counted while smiling, not more, not less, just right.

"I said that counting silver vigorously would not go wrong. Look, this is just right."

Lin Ting looked at Sister Yun and Sister Ahua again and said, "The two sisters-in-law will also be paid eight days in total, so each of them will also receive eighty silver coins."

After Yunyun and Ahua got the silver, they immediately put their own money together with their husbands'.

All of a sudden, their family's income was 320 silver coins, and they didn't have to go home for breakfast these days.

Not only did he save money on food for his family, but he also made some money. He was as excited as a child.

After lunch every day, everyone has half an hour to rest.

But today, everyone seemed reluctant to leave and happily shared what had happened in recent days with others.

The scene was originally filled with a very good atmosphere, but a few incongruous people broke in.

Shen Rou, wearing a rose-red cloth dress, walked through the crowd with her hands on her hips and came in front of Lin Ting and Shen Dali.

He was so majestic that his chin was almost raised to the sky.

"Lin Ting, Third Uncle, today is the important day that my father will be going to the county government office to serve as the chief clerk. Grandma asked you to go to the village to receive the letter of appointment from the county magistrate.

Don't let people think that our family doesn't respect the county magistrate. We are giving you face, so hurry up and get ready."

Only then did Lin Ting realize that waiting at the intersection of their home were Shen Jizu, Xu, Shen's mother, and Shen Zuxiong's family.

Everyone was wearing what they thought was the best clothes, even the new clothes that Shen's mother had prepared for her to wear before her death, she had put on in advance.

In the countryside, there are not so many special requirements for the deceased. Everyone is poor and just wears the latest clothes. There is no special practice of making funeral clothes.

Everyone's face was tense and expectant.

"This is your wedding, why are you dragging us along? Can't you see we're busy?"

Shen Jizu thought he could become the chief clerk, but he didn't know that Lord Qu had already made arrangements.

I was afraid that when this family went there, they would receive not a letter of offer but a letter of rejection.

"Lin Ting, if grandma and dad hadn't wanted to call you, do you think I would be willing to come and call you?

You are a family of low-class people, why would you want to build a house? Wait until my father becomes the chief registrar, and then we can see whether there is any problem with the foundation certificate of your house. You are so proud now, but you will cry later."

After that, she looked down on Shen Dali and said, "Uncle San, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Are you going or not?"
