80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 257, Digging a Base

Meixue and Grandma He went there once, so they were able to find the place. The two of them walked to Xiangyang's house with Luo Meili holding their children.

 Fortunately, Xiangyang’s home is not far from theirs.

He Jiaojiao didn’t go because her child was still young, but Fang Kai left yesterday.

Along the way, Xiaohai pulled Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng, and the tall body of a big brother helped them block a bit of cool wind.

 Seeing Xiao Hai like that, the three adults all laughed.

After Xiangyang got married, Mei Xue and Grandma He were sent back to the village by He Anze.

It's not that he wants to send her off, but his grandmother and daughter-in-law want to go back, and no matter how hard he tries to persuade them to stay, he can't change their minds.

Even sons are thinking about their elder brothers at home.

The New Year was just like this. After Mei Xue returned to the village with her grandmother and children, she began to live a very daily life.

 The most busy thing for her now is to make arrangements for buying furniture, and she should also buy a bed.

Meixue now has a personal savings of 100,000 yuan. She is not afraid of spending money, but is afraid of delaying her affairs.

She doesn't plan to raise more fish in the fish pond. It's good now. He Anyong doesn't have to go to the fish pond every day to keep an eye on it. Mei Xue bought lotus flowers after the spring started. They are the kind that can be eaten and looked at. Lotus.

 Of course Mr. Hua helped to get this done. This thing is not easy to find.

At least Mei Xue couldn't get it herself.

The work of the fish pond was handed over to He Anwei. The boy followed his brother and learned every day, and he was able to take advantage of small things.

 Don't say anything, Mei Xue fell in love with him.

 Hand over the fish pond to him, He Anyong began to run some outside errands for her.

　　For example, the troublesome work of hiring a carpenter and so on.

Of course, Hongmei’s man was also captured by Mei Xue as a young man.

In March, everything was arranged in the house in the back mountain, and the old men started to move happily.

The people in the village also started to get busy, planting vegetables and fields, so the people who could be invited came over after work, and it took several days just to move.

“Old gentlemen, when you live in Houshan, you will have to hire someone to do the cooking. My family can’t go there now.” She built the house in Houshan for her old age, at least she won’t be able to go there now.

For this matter, the old men have already found a good counterpart, and that is He Anyong's mother.

 Aunt Yong cried when she received this job. Nothing can see people's hearts more clearly than when they lose power.

She not only saw clearly her relatives, but also the people who were close to her in daily life.

 In the first year, there were still very few people going to the hot springs to try it out, but neither Mei Xue nor Grandma He cared. It would be great if no one in the village went.

After the old men were arranged, Aunt Yong also started to work, and Mei Xue's house suddenly became quiet.

 Such a life made her and her grandma feel uncomfortable for a while, but grandma could still go to the back mountain for a walk every day.

Meixue didn’t have much time recently, so she sent her grandma and children to the back mountain.

  Why is there no time? She wants to start organizing her planned estate.

 The furniture was handed over and the payment was calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. This was Grandma’s idea. If the payment was calculated on a daily basis, Grandma was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation.

 She trusts grandma on this matter.

 Here in the fish pond, lotus flowers were planted, and the plum snow had to let them grow. There are also many things in the old house, which are just trivial.

There is also Lixia, she also has to draw the picture. This is a delicate job and requires the use of brain.

 With the money in hand, he didn?

“Grandma Mu, I’m here. The sun is getting strong. You should go back to the house first.” Mei Xue has her own plan and keeps an eye on it every day.

The people invited were all from the village. Now that the busy farming time was here, not many people were invited, so she herself joined in.

“Xiaoxue, please stop doing this and come back in the afternoon.” Grandma Mu felt a little sorry for Xiaoxue who was so busy and sweating profusely.

"No, I'm strong and can go faster." Mei Xue didn't want to, "Grandma Mu, just leave quickly. If you feel bored, go to the back mountain. The roads over there are almost built."

If possible, she would like her grandma and the others to stay in the back mountain at night, and then come back when the work at the front is finished.

"You, I won't go to the back mountain. I'll go cook for you. You need to eat well at noon."

Seeing that Grandma Mu didn't want to go, Mei Xue didn't force her to go, "Thank you, Grandma Mu."

The people who came to work were not only from the fifth group, but also some from poorer families in the village.

These people were introduced by the village chief, and fortunately they are all very honest.

Mei Xue’s salary is also quite high, calculated on a daily basis, five yuan a day.

This salary is higher than working in the city.

 Some people whose families have little land want to stay and work for a long time.

Meixue also thought that she must have a lot of things to do in the past few years, so she paid attention to them one by one.

“Uncle Chen, there are rocks here, please be careful.” The deeper we dug into the back mountain, the more and more rocks appeared.

A man who looked to be in his forties smiled naively and said, "It's okay, these rocks are dead and can be dug out."

“Then you’d better be careful, it’ll be bad if it hits you.” Mei Xue was a little worried. This is a place where houses are being repaired, so it’s best not to get into trouble.

“Okay, let’s all be careful.” Uncle Chen responded with a smile.

It probably took five or six days. The base was widened a lot. It wasn't until Mei Xue called for a halt that all the workers stopped.

The available time was too short, and they still wanted to make money. It might be the last day of work, so Mei Xue asked Aunt Xilian and Sister Hong to help the family cook a dinner for these workers.

 There is enough food and wine.

“Xiaoxue, do you plan to hire people here in the future?” In total, this group of more than a dozen people worked together for less than a month.

Mei Xue put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Uncle Chen in front of her.

Of course, even if she wants to keep people, she can't keep all these dozen people. Mr. Zhang will have to make the final decision on the future repairs of the house.

“Uncle Chen, we definitely need to hire people, but we have to build a house here later. Even if we need to hire some masons and carpenters, do you know how to do these?”

 Uncle Chen is the person Mei Xue plans to hire for a long time in the future.

 Uncle Chen is from the second team, which is really far away from them. If you invite me, I'm afraid that Uncle Chen will live here in the future.

 This is also the reason why Mei Xue has been undecided.

“Everyone is good at masonry, but carpentry is a craft, and not many people know it.” After hearing Mei Xue’s words, Uncle Chen sighed.

"It's okay. If anyone knows how to make bricks, he can stay. But he has to wait a few days, and you guys are also resting at home." Mei Xue knew that Mr. Zhang would mainly invite people from the village.

 “Then thank you Xiaoxue.”
