Chapter 514 Participation

The three long-term workers are going to marry women who have come to the village to help workers.

In the past two years, whenever the farming was busy and men were hard to hire, Man Bao and the others would even hire women for the same wages.

At the beginning, there were only a dozen or so people, and they were all quite old, but it seemed that Qili Village was quite safe to work in, no one bullied them, and they really got paid, so those who were willing to work too much.

Later, there were so many that every time you want to recruit people, you have to choose first.

Moreover, not only Man Bao felt that women were more meticulous and efficient in their work, but Bai Zhuangtou also became more fond of using women.

Except for some relatively heavy physical work, most of the other farm work is not weaker than that of men.

This is how the three long-term workers met their future daughter-in-law.

The three of them are all widows, they are not very old, and the life in their husband's family is not easy, so they want to come out to do part-time jobs.

The conditions of the three long-term workers are not good. Two years ago, they were awakened by Man Bao's calculations, and then they started to save money.

Basically, except for the food given by the farm, they don't buy much food to eat.

So I saved some savings after two years, and then I started thinking about marrying a wife.

I went to matchmaker Wang, but unfortunately even though they had some savings, the father-in-law and mother-in-law near Qili Village still didn't like them.

No land, no money, even the house belongs to the owner, who would marry a daughter to such a person?

So their relationship is hard to say.

Matchmaker Wang told them that they were all widows who had lost their husbands. After seeing each other two or three times, the three of them thought about it on their own, and then went to find it by themselves.

This year's consecutive summer and autumn harvests are an excellent opportunity, and many women have been invited to work in the Zhuangzi.

The three of them were not as honest as before, they only stayed in the area they wanted to harvest, and started to shake around with their sickles.

They are long-term workers, unlike short-term workers, they can cut whatever they want.

It is also possible that Bai Zhuangtou saw their plan and let it go, and then they helped with this and that, and then they helped a daughter-in-law.

Naturally, they also want to hold a lively banquet, but their relatives are not here, and their friends are servants and long-term workers of the Bai family.

The most important thing is that they don't have much money, so after much deliberation, the three families decided not to hold any banquets. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the three of them pooled the money for a table and made it richer. Just get together for a meal.

But Man Bao felt that this was too shabby, mainly because she had never seen such a quietly married daughter-in-law when she grew up.

Bai Shanbao hadn't seen it either.

So the two discussed it and decided that marrying a daughter-in-law should still be lively.

So the next day, the two called Bai Erlang, and the three stalked each other to get some firecrackers for the New Year from their respective homes.

Then the three of them paid together and asked Bai Zhuangtou to go to Jishang to buy some ingredients and came back, and directly invited the cook to cook at Xiaozhuangzi, so that the three long-term workers could invite friends to celebrate together.

The three long-term workers and the three young women who had just brought their burdens to Xiaozhuangzi were shocked.

Man Bao and the others were very happy, running in and out of the bustle, the eyes of the three long-term workers were slightly red, and they really wanted to kowtow to the three of them.

As a result, the three children didn't like their kowtows. Bai Shanbao said with a serious face: "After you get married, you have to work harder. I have already raised your wages once. If it is better, the next year's wages will only be higher. The Chinese New Year red seal will be higher. With money, you can support your family.”

The three said yes again and again, bent over and said: "Young Master Shan, let's just clean up a table for you to eat, shall we?"

Bai Shanbao was about to say yes, yes, when he saw the servants and long-term workers who came to the banquet gathered on the other side. Although they were not timid, they talked very little, unlike the ones he had attended in the village. Those wedding banquets were as lively as they were.

He thought for a while and said, "We'll forget it, just give us a handful of wedding candy and let us soak in your happiness."

"Dip, dip," the long-term workers were overjoyed, and immediately grabbed a large handful of wedding candies and distributed them to the three young masters, "It should be that we are blessed by the young masters..."

Bai Shanbao was polite to them, then took the wedding candy and took the two little friends away. They didn't go back to the village, but turned around and went up the mountain.

The three long-term workers didn't pay attention, so they sent the little masters away, and immediately went back to treat the guests.

The yard became lively in an instant, and those friends who they got along with better rushed up and patted their shoulders and chests, laughing, and joked: "You guys are all right, all three of them are married, come, come, come with us!" Tell me, how did you touch that little hand?"

Bai Shanbao walked for a while and looked back down, just in time to see the bustling scene in the courtyard, so he nodded slightly and said: "We really shouldn't stay there."

Man Bao also nodded: "This seems to be a happy event."

Bai Erlang looked around and asked, "Then what shall we have for lunch?"

Man Bao ran to Daji's side, opened the food box in his hand, and said with a smile, "Eat this."

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang also ran up to have a look, and seeing a whole steamed chicken and several side dishes inside, they became happy, "Where did this come from?"

"It was given by the cook," Man Bao said, "as soon as Shan Bao said not to stay, the cook will prepare it for us, and we will eat it on the mountain."

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang nodded happily, and the three of them found a clean place with a good view and sat down.

Seeing that they were all sitting on the grass, Daji couldn't help but think of their master, and he paused when he placed the food.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we are really hungry."

"Daji, sit down quickly. If you sit here, you won't block our view from the front."

Daji smiled and shifted his position, laid out the contents of the food box, and said: "Master, if Master Tang and Miss Man had said that they would have a picnic, then we should have brought mats instead of sitting on the floor."

Man Bao didn't take it seriously, "It's so troublesome to go out with a mat on your shoulders, where can't you sit in the wild?"

Bai Shanbao nodded, "Anyway, we didn't sit less."

Bai Erlang: "That's right, that's right, those who have rolled in the mud."

Bai Shanbao immediately said: "I haven't, I have never rolled."

Man Bao didn't speak.

After laying out the dishes, the four of them started to eat. While eating, they looked at the fields stretching down the mountain. For some reason, they were so happy.

Man Bao pointed to the fruit trees above his head and said, "They should be able to bear fruit next year, right?"

"Probably." Bai Shanbao also looked up at the fruit tree, and said with a smile, "The next year will be the third year. Looking at the crown of the tree, it should be able to bloom and bear fruit."

I have something to do today, so the next chapter update will be around 8:00 p.m.
