Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 114: Work to Earn Food
"Sisters, this is Aunt Qingning's house. Grandma, there are guests at home, looking for Aunt Qingning." The little boy called into the house.
When Old Mrs. Chen heard the call, she went out and saw Hu Zi with two little girls, so she came out to greet them.
"What do you two girls want from my Qing Ning?"
"Hello, madam. I am Grandpa Yu's granddaughter Guo Xian. I just arrived today. Grandpa asked me to come and look for Qing Ning." The two of them bowed as juniors and explained their purpose.
When Mrs. Chen heard that they were Mr. Yu's granddaughters, she warmly invited them in and gave Hu Zi a handful of candy to thank him for bringing them in.
"Girls, please sit at home for a while. Everyone in the village has been busy these days. Qing Ning is at the workshop with people preparing festival gifts. It's almost lunch time now, and you must be tired after coming such a long way. Just take a rest here. Grandpa Yu and the others can come over for lunch after they finish their work." Old Mrs. Chen poured them some water, brought them some snacks and candies, and let them rest.
"You guys sit here, I'm going to the kitchen to prepare dinner." Then he went out to work.
"Miss, the old general must have a very good relationship with this farmer's family." Shuqing told Guo Xian what she was thinking.
Guo Xian nodded: "That's right, you don't have to call me Grandfather Old General anymore, just call me as ordinary people do."
Shu Qing lowered her head and replied: "Yes"
"Let's go, let's go help the old lady of the Chen family. It seems that she is taking care of the meals for grandpa and the others." After saying that, he stood up and went to the kitchen, and Shuqing followed closely.
"Mrs. Chen, Shuqing and I have nothing to do. We will help you prepare." Guo Xian took the initiative as they entered the kitchen.
When Old Lady Chen saw them come in, she said she was not willing to help and said with a smile, "You two young ladies have come from afar and are guests. How can I ask you to work? Go and have a rest. I can handle it here by myself.
Seeing that Old Lady Chen declined, Guo Xian said, "Madam, we've had our rest. We'll be staying here for a while, so we'll be visiting you regularly. To be honest, we're not very good at this, but why don't we help pick and wash the vegetables? We're definitely capable of that."
Guo Xian thought about it carefully. Firstly, he felt embarrassed because it was his first time. Secondly, he probably knew that they had never done any work before, so they politely declined.
"Okay, then you two can help pick and wash those vegetables." Old Mrs. Chen no longer refused and placed the vegetables that needed to be picked and washed in front of them.
The two of them picked up the vegetables and took the basket and went to the yard to pick them.
"Yu Er, are you tired?" Guo Xinming quietly moved in and asked in a low voice.
Yu Jinan had a worried look on his face, complaining: "How can I not be tired? My waist doesn't even belong to me anymore."
"Our days here won't be like this every day, right?" Guo Xinming wanted to cry just thinking about it. His father was such a liar.
"Stop whispering, you two. Be careful not to get scolded if the old man hears you!" Guo Dalang's voice came from behind, startling the two of them.
Alas~ The two of them sighed leisurely and went to work as assigned.
Over there, Old Master Yu saw the reactions of the young men and was satisfied. Otherwise, he would have let them go back early to save them the trouble!
After working for half an hour, someone came to tell them to go back for dinner. Old Master Yu said hello and took them to Chen's house.
The boys were so tired that they looked listless. Chen Changjiang couldn't bear it and wanted to let them have a rest after dinner.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came out, it was rejected by Mr. Yu.
"Why are you so pampered? Food is the most important thing for the people and the foundation of the country. If you don't distinguish between three meals a day and four seasons, and don't work hard, you will only be superficial."
When they heard this, several people immediately said that they would not rest and could hold on!
When we entered the yard, the food was already set up, with three full tables, which was quite a lot of food.
After greeting the host, he washed his hands and sat down.
"Sister-in-law Chen and Changjiang, I'm sorry to bother you. The sudden visit of my grandchildren has caused you trouble. Once the house is built, I'll let them live on their own. But I'm afraid you haven't had a peaceful time these days." Grandpa Yu apologized to the Chen family.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Yu? The children have come from far away and they are guests. What's there to bother them about? They are going to live here for a long time." Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand indifferently.
Mr. Yu replied, "My family is worried, so they sent the children to come and see me. I won't be going back for a while."
"Look how filial your children are to you. Mr. Yu is so lucky." Old Mrs. Chen was happy for him.
"Don't stand there, sit down and have your meal. We've been busy for a long time and everyone must be hungry." Chen Changjiang invited them to sit down.
As soon as everyone sat down, they started eating, wolfing down the food as if they were extremely hungry, and only after adding another half bowl did they feel full.
The little brats have eaten my father out of poverty. He normally doesn't even look at these coarse grains and brown rice, and he doesn't care even when he's tired and hungry.
Old Master Yu was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law Chen and I are paying for the children's meals. Please help me cook."
When Old Lady Chen heard this, she refused to accept it. She said, "Mr. Yu, you're being too polite. The children just need to eat a meal, so why should we pay for it? Don't ask for money."
Old Mrs. Chen deliberately frowned to express her dissatisfaction.
Old Master Yu refused to allow it: "That won't work. There are so many people and they need to eat a lot every day. If you don't want to charge money, then we can just take the grain."
Old Mrs. Chen was unwilling to accept it, and Chen Changjiang also tried to persuade her, but Old Mr. Yu insisted and no conclusion was reached for the time being.
"Hey... stop arguing and listen to me." Qing Ning's voice sounded, interrupting them.
Everyone fell silent and looked at her.
Qing Ning said, "Brothers and sisters, why don't you all work for food? It just so happens that the village is busy with farming and the workshop is short of workers. Let them work and we'll provide the meals. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation for both sides?"
Old Master Yu slammed the table and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. Let them work to pay off their debts. Oh... no, it's just enough to pay for food."
Yu Erlang and Guo Dalang raised their eyebrows and frowned, thinking it was a bad idea. When did they need to exchange labor for food? Couldn't they just pay for it? But they didn't dare to say anything more, only glaring at Qing Ning.
"After dinner, you will go to the fields. Some people will go to the third brother to get tasks. Xian, you can choose for yourself. This place is not like home. You have to do everything yourself. Please control your pampering." Grandpa Yu gave everyone a slight warning again.
