Chapter 35: Recruiting Child Labor
The rain fell all night, and it didn't clear up the next day. It continued to rain. In the morning, I heard that Wang's house was leaking.
For a while, Zhou Jinsheng and his son and Du Hai all went to help.
In these three families that are close to the Zhou family, Wang's family has the hardest life.
Without Zhang Dashan's hunting ability and horse carpenter's craftsmanship, he all pointed to a few mu of thin fields at home to live. Now Dongping can still get five catties of pork back every month, and all of them were exchanged for rice noodles by the capable Wang family.
Half a son, eat to death. It is the time when the two sons of the Wang family can eat. It is really difficult for the family to rely only on farming.
Being able to marry Xiaoyue as a daughter-in-law has tossed the family down. Now it has been raining for several days, but the small wing in Xiping has collapsed in half. Fortunately, Xiping was clever. He heard the movement on the beam in the middle of the night and hurriedly ran out with his bare arms, so that he was not hit.
The old house is too old, and it should have been cleaned up a long time ago, but for Dong Hei's relatives, except for the bride price, only the new house in Dongping has been overhauled, and the rest of the houses are just for people to live in.
Pingshan Village still accounts for the majority of families like Wang Zhuo.
Now it keeps raining, and it's just helping to fix the roof, and there's no way to repair it.
Hearing Zhou Jinsheng come to talk about the situation in detail, Zhou Bo pondered for a moment and asked him to invite Wang and Zhang Dashan.
There are some things I have always wanted to say. Now that we look at the situation of the Wang family, let's talk about it now.
Wang Shuanlao and Zhang Dashan came alone, and they felt that there was no place to put their hands and feet. Zhang Dashan was better. He was also familiar with Zhou Bo because of the relationship with the Self-Defense Forces, but Wang Shuanlao himself was an honest person who couldn't beat three sticks, and now he is even more embarrassed.
Xuejian still reacted and asked Dahu to take the two to the shower room for a hot bath, and then changed into Jin Sheng's clothes last week, and then brought them here again.
After pouring in the cold rain for a long time and taking a hot shower, the mood brightened up.
While secretly looking at Zhou Bo, the two secretly thought to themselves that there must be something wrong with inviting them at this time. But they are just poor countrymen. What can I do with them?
Xue saw the hot tea and put it in front of them.
"Master Zhou, what's the matter with us?" Zhang Dashan has seen some of the market than Wang. He took Xuejian's tea with a smile on his face, got up slightly and thanked him.
Wang Yinglao also looked blankly, looking left and right, restless.
Zhou Bo said slowly, "Please come here. There is something to discuss."
The two stood up quickly, and Zhou Bo waved his hand: "Please sit down quickly."
Zhang Dashan said shyly first, "Master Zhou is anxious and righteous. If you have something to do, just open your mouth and order. Both of us are rude and have no other ability, that is, when we have the strength to reach out, there is no two words."
"It's this reason, it's this reason." Wang Zhuo also nodded his head and said yes repeatedly.
When Zhou Bo saw that Wang Zhuan firmly did not mention his own difficulties, he made such a statement, so he stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I have a property, and I urgently need two helpers to see the passport materials. I don't know..."
How many acres of land does the Zhou family have? Everyone knows, which one can be sung?
Although Zhang Dashan was puzzled and hesitated to take a look at Wang Shuan, he still took the initiative to say, "What's the difficulty, but it's the effort to help."
"That's right, that's right, the way to... get a hand." Wang was in a hurry to catch up.
Xue Jian has always been surprisingly quiet, and only at this time, he appropriately filled the two with tea.
Zhou Bo waved his hand: "It's not in Pingshan Village," and when he saw the two people's faces uneasy, he continued to say, "It's not about the two of you, and it's not a fine crop, so you only need two princes, Zhang Li and Xiping."
Ah? Tension?"
Xue saw a smile and understood what Zhou Bo meant.
Wang Shuan was in a hurry and said, "My Xiping is too small." I was afraid that Zhou Bo would misunderstand and blush and quickly explained embarrassment: "My Dongping's work on the crops. I'm afraid that Xiping will delay Master Zhou."
"I didn't make it clear that you two misunderstood." Zhou Bo stood up and bowed for a long time. The two, who were so scared, got up quickly and said, "What did Master Zhou say? We dare not be."
"Don't, don't do this..." Both of them are honest men. How dare they receive such a big gift from the young master of the Zhou family?
For farmers, it is nothing small about the field. How dare they delay the Zhou family!
Fortunately, Zhou Bo has reacted and said solemnly, "Zhou Bo thank you two first!" Although the two sons work for the Zhou family, they are not slaves, so they need to sign a contract for employment. The construction period is three years, one taels of silver per month. As for the specific details, I will tell you after signing the contract.
Zhang Dashan and Wang were scared!
They looked at each other, two and a half-haired children, one taels of silver a month!
Didn't you hear about the pressure this week? Why have you always been so generous? So mysterious again?
Looking up at the main position, the young master of the Zhou family, even drinks tea is so different from the elegance of the people around him. Although he looks cold, he has absolutely no intention of teasing them.
Zhou Bo didn't say anything, allowing the two of them to guess randomly, but they drank tea leisurely.
Xuejian focused on the fresh fruit on the little table, and the luster of the fruit looked particularly attractive today.
Zhang Dashan realized first. Anyway, the Zhou family will never do anything illegal and discipline, nor will it harm their children. As for why it should be kept secret, there must be the Zhou family's own considerations. No matter how much they want, it's better to deal with this task as soon as possible.
"Mr. Zhou's words are heavy," Zhang Dashan stood up and saluted respectfully, "This is the Zhou family who value us. Naturally, it is the blessing of the children. These two children are handed over to Master Zhou!"
He turned around and gave Wang a firm wink.
Wang Shuan also got up quickly and said, "What else can I say? This is for our face! As soon as the weather clears up, we will let the children come and listen to us!"
Zhou Bo raised his eyelids, supported the two of them, and put down the tea bowl with a smile. "It's okay. You just have to come here."
Watching the two leave excitedly, Xuejian couldn't help saying, "Dalang, has the matter of the pavement been decided?"
Zhou Bo glanced at Xue indifferently and pointed to his shoulder. Xue Jian hurriedly hammered and slandered him. Don't you pretend that you will die? But he said, "Dalang, talk to the maidservant, so as not to hold your heart," suffobling to death!
"Let's talk about it when you are in the mood at night!"
Nima!
Xue saw a heavy blow and almost told the truth. Go to hell!
Because countless predecessors make comparisons, Xuejian has to admit that she is the most tragic one among the time-traveling women! Not smart enough, not smart enough, not lucky enough! His temper is the same as in his previous life, and he is as warm as boiled water, so he has been devastated by Zhou Bo!
Isn't it said that time-traveling women are omnipotent? Even if there is no vibe, it should be blessed by the gods, right? Stomping, all the beautiful men bowed down under the pomegranate skirt? Why didn't she get the same benefits?
At the thought of this, her teeth were so painful that she couldn't wait to bite off a piece of Zhou Bo's meat. Unfortunately, she was naturally not afraid of Zhou Bo. She was just afraid of her teeth.
"Young master, are you tired? Why don't I massage your legs?" Xue saw that the little thought was clearly written on her face, looking at her gritting her teeth and pouted, and pretending to make a smile to show him, which made Zhou Bo feel good.
He shook his head happily, "It's rare for you to be so careful, but unfortunately, I'm not tired." Xuejian's face was wrinkled like a steamed bun
This girl is clever, but she has no intention. She likes to listen to gossip and join in the fun. Is she tired?
The rain finally stopped at night. Hearing Zhou Jinsheng talk about the repair situation of the Wang family, Er Niang ordered Zhou's mother to send some food.
Xue Jian was not in the mood to tell stories to the children. She said that she was not feeling well, and only said a few words, which made the children very dissatisfied.
Hachiro stuck out his tongue at him: "I can't think of a new story when I see you!" This boy has no story, and he doesn't even call his sister.
Xu Cong'an saw that Xue saw something on his mind and stretched out his hand to pull Hachiro, "Let me tell you, does anyone listen?"
After simply taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, Zhou Bo was talking to Er Niang about the pavement. Seeing her come in, he did not stop, and then said, "... In this way, let Du Hai go to 'Zhenwei Zhai' to be the shopkeeper, and Erhu will also come to help. Yitian is responsible for transporting the ship. In a couple of days, we will straighten out and recruit two more cunning children in the village to help them.
Er Niang said happily, "I didn't expect that there would be so many mushrooms in a cave. What a God eye! Bodhisattva bless!"
After saying that, he devoutly worshipped on all sides.
Xue turned his eyes when he heard it.
Zhou Bo said, "Looking at the growth of this mushroom, Yitian and I both feel that wholesale to the state capital is also rich."
Is it more than rich? Raising mushrooms in caves was a good business to make a fortune in the previous life, not to mention this era.
Er Niang was even more happy: "The eldest brother fought for this fall, but he fell out of the treasure basin for the whole family. It can be seen that our Zhou family is still destined to get up!"
She chattered, and the second lady left with a smile on her face.
It turned out that Zhou Bo raised mushrooms in the cave. Xuejian felt that the world was really wonderful.
Following Zhou Bo changing clothes in the shower room, she said carefully, "Our shop, 'Zhenwei Zhai', is this a joint with the Bai family?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it. Can she be a slave to inquire about the master's family? I thought Zhou Bo would scold her for being as trouble-like again, but I didn't expect Zhou Bo to just say, "Why don't you serve the master to take a shower?"
Having said so much to Er Niang, Er Niang was not as good as this little girl's question. Zhou Bo looked at her deeply.
He looked at Xuejian with a smile while taking a shower. Even if there was a baffle, the little girl blushed with shame every time. I don't know which one would take the initiative to squeeze into his arms after falling asleep at night.
"The dead girl will be lazy to wipe her body!" After receiving the towel handed over by Xuejian, he could only wipe it by himself, but he was in the same good mood. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and his facial features were as warm as jade in the hazy candlelight.
While wiping, he said, "Finally, I bought the pavement with the courtyard, and the Bai family became a shareholder. Yitian is responsible for opening the market in Qingzhou, and then he will share seven or three shares in the future, so that he can feel more at ease."
In fact, what Xuejian wants to say is that with the Bai family's shareholding, the Zhou family's capitalless business is more reassuring.
Xuejian didn't dare to look at it. He blushed and helped him wear blasphemy clothes and whispered, "It would be better if our 'Zhenwei Zhai' sold some more pickled duck eggs and pine eggs. Unfortunately, although we have some duck eggs, after all, the quantity is small, and I'm afraid it's not even enough to sell the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Why is your face so red? Isn't it sick?" Zhou Bo deliberately touched her forehead.
"I didn't." Looking up, Xue Jian was even more ashamed to see that Zhou Bo was simply joking.
Zhou Bo asked with concern, "Your face is a little hot. Why don't you ask Xu Weng to have a look?"
Xue wanted to say that you are just sick. Your whole family is sick. Seeing Zhou Bo staring at her with a clear look, she didn't dare to say anything. She said sullenly, "It's too hot."
Zhou Bo interrupted her, "So it is." After saying that, he was successfully hit by Xuejian.
When he came out of the bathroom, Xuejian turned his head first, but Zhou Bo held his little hand and shook it twice. His delicate face lit up the gloomy night.
