Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"This is purely voluntary, but I feel that these mothers-in-law will not refuse! As far as I know, it only costs [-] copper coins a day to go to Changning Town to work as a coolie. This time, the transportation fee for Uncle Lu costs two copper coins. If you eat one bite in the town, even the cheapest three steamed buns for two copper coins, the peasants in our village will have to eat six or seven for a meal, so at least six copper coins will be deducted a day."

"In fact, it's only fourteen copper coins in my hand. And as far as I know, these coolies are not available every day. Sometimes they go to Changning Town and return without success. Don't talk about making money again and again. I also lost two copper coins, but it’s different here. Taking care of the elderly, for example, making three meals a day, can be done by adding up to one hour a day at most, and taking care of the elderly. There must be two people working in shifts during the day and night. Come."

"This kind of work is at least more stable than their going to Changning Town, and it doesn't take them too much time every day. I have no time to tidy up my fields. I get 150 copper coins a month for cooking, and [-] copper coins a month for taking care of the elderly. Copper coins are enough, as for the occupancy fee, I think it is enough to charge a little for a month, village chief, what do you think?" Jiang Ling answered patiently.

"Well... that's a good idea, but where is the house built?" The village chief thought of another very difficult question.

"It's easy to handle. Didn't the Holy Majesty reward us a lot just now? Just choose one. There are only four elderly people in the early stage, and there is no need to build too many houses. If there are such problems in the future, we will build them later. Just a few!" Jiang Ling pointed to the boundless land and said.

The village head nodded again and again, then turned and walked towards Mrs. Cao's bedroom.

Mrs. Cao's mood has gradually stabilized, and she was holding Xiao Dao Niang to say something. When she saw the village chief and Jiang Ling appearing, she hurriedly got up and went to the ground. , I have something to discuss with you."

Granny Cao sat up from the bed with difficulty when she heard that she had something to do, blinked her cloudy eyes and asked, "Village Chief, what can you do with my old lady?"

"Yes...it's like this..." The village chief scratched his head. He was in a difficult situation. He didn't know how to explain this to Mrs. Cao for a while, so he could only look at Jiang Ling for help.

Jiang Ling nodded knowingly, walked to Granny Cao and said to Granny Cao, "Grandma, isn't it boring for you to be here all day?"

Mrs. Cao didn't quite understand what Jiang Ling meant, so she nodded and sighed a little, "Hey, it's true, my old lady is really boring by myself sometimes, and...and, if it wasn't for the knife today, Mother, I...I'm afraid...this old life will be lost!"

This incident probably touched Granny Cao's heart, and her mood that had just calmed down began to fluctuate again, and two lines of clear tears flowed from her cloudy eyes.

Jiang Ling didn't want to do this, but after seeing Granny Cao crying, she quickly comforted her: "Grandma, don't be sad, I have a suggestion, can you listen to it first?"

Granny Cao wiped away her tears and nodded, choking with sobs, "Speak."

"Mother-in-law, I asked the village chief. There are currently four old people in our village like you. My suggestion is to let the four of you live together. Of course, each of you has a separate room. If you feel bored, you can choose two. The world is living with another mother-in-law!"

"Someone will prepare three meals a day. During the day and night, someone will be responsible for checking your physical condition. I wonder what you think of my proposal, mother-in-law?"

Jiang Ling's words stunned everyone present, Xiao Dao Niang's expression was even more interesting, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her expression was serious. After a long time, she tentatively asked: "Sister, why don't I understand what you mean? What do you mean? Let them live in another place again? Then three meals a day will always cost money. It can’t be free, right?”

Xiao Dao Niang's words also reminded Mrs. Cao who was listening in a cloud, and she immediately said to Jiang Ling with a serious expression: "Mr. Coffin book, I am alone and helpless, so I just point to the midwifery and the few acres of Susukida to live in!"

How could Jiang Ling not know Granny Cao's concerns, she explained softly, "Grandma, how is the harvest of your field every time?"

"No...not very good. I, an old woman, don't have the energy to take care of those few acres of land. I have to deduct exorbitant taxes every year, so I can barely make enough to eat!" Thinking of this, Mrs. Cao shook her head sadly.

After hearing this, Jiang Ling asked Granny Cao: "Grandma, if, I mean suppose, someone takes care of the fields for you now, and you share the money proportionally every year at the autumn harvest, would you mind?"

"This... Mrs. Jiang, can you explain in more detail? My old woman is too old to use her brain!" Granny Cao obviously didn't hear Jiang Ling's meaning, she looked at Jiang Ling blankly and asked .

"Let me speak!" The village chief patted Jiang Ling on the shoulder and said.

Jiang Ling nodded, and retreated behind the village chief. The village chief told Mrs. Cao about Jiang Ling's thoughts that he had talked with him in detail. Mrs. Cao was obviously a little moved when she heard the end, she nodded and asked, "Then ...then when can I move in!"

The village chief smiled and said repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, you wait for this matter first, and I will tell you after we finish talking with the other three old people. If everyone agrees, the time to move in will be soon!"

Granny Cao nodded again and again, as if she felt much more relaxed.

Seeing that Mrs. Cao agreed to the matter, Jiang Ling and the village chief walked towards the homes of several other elderly people without stopping.

The three old people, like Mrs. Cao, did not understand Jiang Ling's meaning at first. After Jiang Ling explained patiently, they all nodded in agreement.

The "nursing home" matter began to proceed smoothly according to Jiang Ling and the village chief's plan.

After chatting with the last old man, the village head notified his grandson, Lu Goupui, to ring the bell at the entrance of the village and gather at the Lu Family Ancestral Hall for a meeting.

All the people who heard the bell came to the gate of the Lu Family Ancestral Hall with curiosity on their faces.

At this time, the Lu Family Ancestral Hall was crowded with people.

When the village chief saw that almost everyone had arrived, he coughed lightly and said to everyone, "I called everyone here today because I have something to say. I think everyone already knows about Mrs. Cao."

Hearing this sentence, Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat. She rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "How can we hold a meeting to talk about such a shitty thing? I just didn't pay her for the consultation!"

The village head has very good ears. He took a hard look at Mrs. Lu and continued: "At present, there are four widowed and lonely old people in our village. ..."

"Village chief, why are you old and young? What do you mean?" Wang Laizi interrupted forcefully, yawning.

"This..." The village chief froze. He forgot everything Jiang Ling told him just now.

He stood there awkwardly, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans gradually appeared on his forehead.

"This means..." Jiang Zhishan walked out of the crowd.
