Chapter 393

The three long-term workers not only have no daughter-in-law, but also rarely go home.

They were driven out of their homes to work for a living. After two years of short-term work, they settled down in the Bai family. During this period, they went home.

But they don't have land in their hometown, or they have little land. It's not easy for them. It's better to work long-term at the White House.

Basically, if you're not particularly lazy, you won't be driven away. If you don't drive away, you can eat every day and live.

Wealth is not important, but in disaster years, life is better than that of ordinary poor people, because at least they won't starve to death or become refugees.

Now, the oldest of the three long-term workers is 24 years old.

In Qili Village, children of this age can work in the field.

For example, Zhou Erlang and Wednesday Lang are at their age.

The youngest one is twenty-two, and none of the three has the capital to marry a daughter-in-law.

Yang Heshu got excited and hurriedly asked people to call the three long-term workers. He was very curious about how they lost their land.

The three long-term workers were a little stiff in front of the county magistrate, and Yang Heshu's question also made them a little confused.

They were not young when they left home, but they didn't know much about their family. How did they lose their land?

After thinking for a while, the long-term worker said, "it seems that my grandfather is ill. My father sold a piece of land to buy medicine. As a result, it's not all right and it's heavy again."

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember who my father borrowed the money from. Later, when people came home to ask for debt, they took away most of the good fields in the family. My parents kicked me and my second brother out and let us make a living on our own. "

The second long-term worker said, "I was in that drought and there was no harvest in the field. My parents ate up the seeds left at home, and then took us out to beg."

Yang Heshu:

Man Bao:

"I don't know where my parents took my little brother. Anyway, I went home and saw them. They didn't go home. The land at home was also deserted. The village head said that if I went back, I could share my Yongye field. But I thought I was alone. I had neither farm tools nor seeds. If I wanted to grow land, I had to borrow money to buy farm tools and seeds. I also wanted money for food and drink on weekdays, It's better to do long-term work. "

Yang Heshu looked at Chang Gong San.

The three long-term workers smiled and said, "there is little land in my house. None of my three brothers married a daughter-in-law. My parents felt that this would not work, so they sold my Yongye field to my eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law and let me come out for a living."

Yang Heshu was stunned, man Bao and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang were also stunned. They stared wide and asked in unison, "would you like to?"

The third long-term worker was used to saying, "there must be someone in my family to carry on the family line. All three brothers stay at home. None of them can marry a daughter-in-law. It's better to have one."

Yang Heshu felt uncomfortable and sour. This feeling was strange. He paused and asked, "well, have you ever been home?"

"No, I'm out. What are you doing back?" The long worker said with a smile, "it's necessary to pay for the journey back."

"If you have the fare, will you go back?"

After thinking for a while, the long-term worker shook his head, "I still won't go back. If I can save the travel expenses, I must save the money for marrying a daughter-in-law. Of course, I have to marry a daughter-in-law first. If I marry a daughter-in-law, I have to save money to buy things for my mother-in-law and children..."

So you save and spend money endlessly. Who knows when you will have money to go back.

Yang Heshu sighed in his heart.

Man Bao looked up and down at the long-term worker 3 and asked, "what have you done with your money?"

The long-term worker's face was slightly red and whispered, "I've eaten it all."

He used to be much hungry. He had surplus money and no one urged him. Naturally, he couldn't help eating when he had money.

He saved it himself, but he couldn't save it. When he was hungry, he couldn't help buying something to eat.

Yang Heshu worried about their self-control. "How can you marry a daughter-in-law like this?"

The third foreman bowed his head.

Man Bao said, "after marrying his daughter-in-law, just give the money to his daughter-in-law. That's my fourth brother."

After thinking about it, he added: "my eldest brother and second brother couldn't save money before. Then he married my eldest sister-in-law and saved money after he married my second sister-in-law."

The third foreman looked forward to Yang Heshu immediately.

Man Bao also looked forward to looking at Yang Heshu, "adult Yang, do you want to find a daughter-in-law for them?"

Yang Heshu:... So is he going to become a county magistrate and a matchmaker?

Always pay careful attention to master Bai over there. He came to rescue county magistrate Yang in due time.

The three children all looked at Yang county magistrate walking away with regret.

Man Bao said, "almost, we don't have to recruit long-term workers."

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang nodded in agreement, with a pity on their face.

Master Bai had nothing to say to the three bear children. Together with village head Lizheng, he took Yang county magistrate to the whole village and held a small and simple meeting after learning about the sowing progress and farming situation in the village.

The only participants were adults who followed Yang county magistrate around. Man Bao and his three little disdained to participate in such a boring meeting. Therefore, although Yang county magistrate invited, they refused on the grounds of busy study.

The arrival of county magistrate Yang still had an impact on Qili Village, and it was not small. The most direct thing was that the day after others left, Lizheng brought a batch of beans and rice seeds, which were distributed to each household according to their heads.

Not much, but it is said that the seeds were transferred from other places by the county government, and the quality is good.

Because the three children were friends of county magistrate Yang, Li Zheng gave them a share for the first time.

Man Bao had finished planting all their beans, so the three discussed, divided the beans equally and went back to their homes.

After seeing those bean seeds, Lao Zhou chose a piece of land to plant and planned to try the yield.

The reason why it is one piece is that there are not many kinds of beans. One person weighs about two kilograms. How much land is enough?

The rice seeds that have been distributed are kept temporarily. After a period of time, they will plant rice seeds again. When the winter wheat is collected, the later planted rice seeds can just become seedlings.

Seeds are distributed to every family, and some farm tools are distributed to individual families.

Such as rake, hoe, etc.

They were all sent by Lizheng himself. Three families in Qili Village got farm tools. Coincidentally, they were the three poorest families.

This kind of change makes the villagers enjoy talking about it. After everyone washes every night, he is very tired. He will still gossip under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village and say one after another: "although this county magistrate is young, he is not bad. He looks better than Fu County Magistrate."

"Yes, yes, our village hasn't received seed farm tools from the county government for many years."

"In the past, adults didn't like to come to our village. The road was difficult and the place was poor."

"Yes, yes, it's better after master Bai came. I remember..."

Man Bao sat among a group of adults and listened with interest. If Lao Zhou hadn't brought her back, she would still want to continue listening.
