Chapter 371

Bai Shanbao and Man Bao looked at him, and Bai Erlang said sullenly, "Every year the people who come to my house to pull food are very rich."

Man Bao: "Is that a grain merchant?"

"Aren't grain merchants human?"

Bai Shanbao \u0026 Man Bao: ...

But at this time, both of them are very tired. When people are tired, their minds are not willing to move, so such a difficult problem was temporarily left behind by the two of them.

Man Bao stared blankly at the employees who were working back and forth. They had already planted a long way, and only left a few rows here for the three children.

In the eyes of the hired workers, the three little masters only need to farm when they are full.

At their age in the countryside, they could have long ago been able to farm and work as half-time laborers, but at first glance, these three have never planted much, so the speed is not fast.

So for their help, the employees are not very appreciative.

Man Bao probably knew that they were disliked, so she stared at them thinking, and didn't follow them around again, mainly because she was very tired now, her energy was limited, and she didn't want to run over to join in the fun.

Looking, looking, she finally found something wrong.

"Why are all our day laborers male?"

Bai Erlang shook his head.

Bai Shanbao thought for a while and said, "I remember that the part-time workers hired by the uncle every year are also men, at least for the past two years that I have been here."

"That's right, Master Bai has always only hired my eldest brother and third brother. My sister-in-law and the others have never worked at Master Bai's house." Man Bao, who was almost on strike because of his sleepiness, reluctantly turned his head and said, "Actually, I The sisters-in-law are also very good at work, no worse than my elder brother and the others."

She said: "Of course, my brothers and the others did the ploughing, but my sisters-in-law actually did better than my brothers and even better than them. "

Bai Shanbao pondered, "I remember that my husband said that Dingtian is only distributed to Chengding, and women have no land. So shouldn't they come to work?"

Man Bao nodded, "Yes."

The two looked at each other, and Bai Shanbao immediately said, "When I go back in the afternoon, I will tell my grandmother to ask her to hire some women to do day labor."

Man Bao nodded in agreement, "Let the long-term workers make a room for them to live in. If they can't go home, they can live here."

The day laborers they hired temporarily built some straw huts at the foot of the mountain to live.

It's only spring now. Although it's getting warmer, there must be times when it's cold. Man Bao has always felt that women are weaker than men, so they have to live better.

Ten miles and eight villages, not to mention rural landowners, even in the county towns, hired hired men, not women.

Even the helpers in the kitchen are mostly selected men. What kind of jobs would they find women?

I'll pick it up when I'm serving in the backyard, but that's rare.

And given such an opportunity, the little girl should be considered first. Who would want an elderly woman with thick hands and feet?

Even Liu was stunned for a while when he heard it, until his grandson repeated it for the second time, Liu responded, but couldn't help asking: "Why do you want a woman?"

"Because men can't be hired. Didn't my grandmother say that it is difficult to hire day laborers because of the busy farming season? Man Bao said that women are no worse than men in farming, and even faster and better than men in some aspects."

Liu Shi smiled and nodded, "It's a bit difficult to invite. Since women are not bad, let's invite a few more."

But in fact, it is not easy to invite women, because very few women come out to do part-time jobs, and they suddenly invite women to work, I am afraid they will also have doubts in their hearts.

So Liu Shi thought about it, and then asked someone to go to Dali Village to invite Lizheng's wife to come and talk.

Within two days, the word spread in several nearby villages. The new family of Mrs. Bai from Qili Village wanted to hire some hard-working and skilled women to work in the fields. The wages were the same as those paid to men. , including two meals.

Even Qian Shi, who was busy farming, heard about it.

Yes, after a lapse of six years, the Qian family went to the ground again, which made the villagers of Qili Village very surprised for a while, and they all sighed around her, "Master Tianzun is really useful.

Qian shi nodded in agreement, "It's still the blessing of our family full of treasures."

Someone moved in their hearts and suggested, "Sister-in-law, or let Man Bao sit on the big rock under the banyan tree tomorrow, let's worship and make a wish."

Qian shi raised his brows and scolded: "Fart, even if Man Bao is a reincarnation of a fairy, she is still a mortal now, a member of our old Zhou family. When you worship her as an uncle, do you want to save her birthday?"

"Yes, yes, this can't be worshipped. She is young and can't stand it."

The man shrank his neck and said nothing.

This is the end of the matter, and everyone continued to talk about the Bai family's hiring of hired workers, "Is that the small farmhouse in your family full of treasures asking a woman to farm the land? Are you really giving eighteen dollars a day?"

"If it's true, I can go back to my mother's house and tell my cousin, her family has only a few acres of land, and she and a few daughters can come and help."

"There is also a cousin of mine, who can also come. They all sell the land at home."

"Why don't you rent land?"

"The land in their village is not easy to rent, and the land rent is 60%. The landlord is still picking people. There are not many male laborers in the family.

"In such a comparison, it's not as good as our Master Bai."

"No, although Master Bai is also stingy, as long as he rents his land, even if all the men in the family die in the middle, women can continue to rent."

"By the way, aren't we talking about the hired labor, Aunt Qian, is this true?"

Qian Shi waited for them to say enough before saying: "I'll help you ask Man Bao when you go back, but since it's from the lichang's house, there's nothing wrong with it."

"We're relieved to ask a few more questions. The people outside are very bad now. Who knows if it's spreading the truth?"

When Mr. Qian took a break at noon, he made a special trip to Daling, just before the beginning of spring. Even if the sun at noon was not very hot, it would still be dark and dizzy after a long time.

And the three children are used to taking naps again.

So after lunch, they skillfully went to a grass hut that was leaking from all sides, and lay directly on a simple wooden bed and slept soundly.

When Qian came over, Man Bao was sleeping soundly, his belly was up and down, his cheeks were red, and he was obviously sleeping soundly.

Qian touched her cheek, put her hands and feet into the blanket with a slight smile, and then spoke to Daji who was sitting outside the hut.

Until Man Bao woke up, she didn't know Qian's came.

But everyone in Qili Village knew that the information circulating outside was true, so many teenagers left their homes that afternoon and went to visit various relatives' houses on the orders of their adults.

If another family hired a woman to be a hired worker, the people of Qili Village would not dare to let their relatives go, but they came to work in Qili Village.

Moreover, the owner is still the well-known Bai family and the very familiar old Zhou family's Man Bao.

Of course, come early to take a seat.
