[Rebirth and Farming] To be motivated is not to be promoted

These cabbage lumps are very fresh, and there is still some damp soil on them. It seems that they have just been dug out of the soil not long ago. They are stacked one after another, so tender that water can be pinched out with a fingernail. Come.

Needless to say, this is the batch of spring cabbage that Shen Hongbo went to see a few days ago, and it has only been officially collected now.

When they went back, the three adults in the family were busy. Shen Hongbo was cleaning the three cement pools for the last time. A pony sat next to the pile of cabbage, fumbling here and there to see if any cabbage had fallen from the top of the table.

Gu Dongyuan directly rode that bicycle and led him in through the gate, and stopped beside grandma with a creak.

Shen Yunjin also jumped out of the car in a hurry, bent down and picked up a cabbage lump on the table and weighed it: "Why did the car unload it so quickly? Hasn't noon come yet?"

Su Chunhua shook the plastic cloth in his hand vigorously, picked up the two corners and looked in the direction of the sun, felt a crack and stabbed it, and tore off a piece of scotch tape to stick it on: "Originally, the one your father found A few workers also came to help unload, and their wages will be counted from today on.”

Although their factory is at most larger than a family workshop, but because nine out of ten of the pickle factory is manual work, two or three workers are hired.

And because these workers stayed in Shen's house for a long time, Shen Yunjin had a deep impression of them.

One is a young man from a neighboring village who just got married and needs to support a family. His name is Qiu San. He has been very simple and honest in the past few years in the Shen family. Whether he is asked to stay in the factory to work or go out to deliver goods, he is willing to work hard.

There is also an aunt about 40 years old. Except for the old lady Gu who calls her boudoir name Qiu Zhi, everyone else habitually calls her Second Aunt because of her male rank. Knowing the innate advantages of women, she has a delicate mind, which can be said to have played a big role in the past few years in the Shen family.

There is also a five or sixty-year-old old master, surnamed Mu, invited by Shen Hongbo from Lin County.When he was young, Master Mu followed his family's workshop to pickle vegetables and make sauce. He was a good hand. He made a lot of money in the first year. Shen Yunjin privately thought that Master Mu was responsible for most of the credit.

It's just that Master Mu's thinking from the 60s is somewhat stubborn. Whether it's pickles or sauces, he should not be greedy for more and strive for perfection. The business philosophy of making the factory bigger is exactly the opposite.

Later, when Shen Hongbo was about to rent a venue to make sauce on a large scale, he directly fired a fire and left. As a result, Shen Hongbo had to go to the south to hire a special sauce master, and was deceived by the "master"'s skills. Nothing to lose.

Regardless of who was right and who was wrong between Master Mu and his father in the previous life, Shen Yunjin decided that this time he must coax the old man well. For a small factory like this that relies on brewing recipes for food, only a master with real skills It is the center of gravity of the whole factory.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunjin stepped forward to help pull the plastic sheet in Su Chunhua's hand, so that she could stick the tape on smoothly, and then pretended to ask casually: "Where is that Master Mu? When will he arrive? "

Because Shen Hongbo and Su Chunhua usually mentioned Master Mu several times at the dinner table, so now that Shen Yunjin asked, Su Chunhua was not surprised at all, and answered while lowering his head and sticking the tape carefully: "Your father said that the cabbage should be pickled fresh. Eat, Master Mu will come to make the sauce tomorrow, and when he makes the sauce, all the cabbage lumps will be washed and put in the pond."

In order to ensure the uniform taste of this mass-produced pickle, the sauce for pickles really needs to be prepared in advance.

Shen Yunjin nodded, but suddenly thought of another question.

There are so many cabbage lumps, whether it is cleaning or putting them into the pool, it requires manpower. Of course, it is not possible to be close to Qiu San and the second aunt, so whenever this kind of busy time comes, parents will call some people nearby to stay idle at home. Three 40-year-old women work as temporary workers and are paid by the day.

In fact, there is no problem with this at first. Rural women in their 40s and [-]s are just at the time when they are willing to work hard. They rarely have work to get cash money on weekdays. One or two are afraid that they will not call themselves when they go back to Qiu’s house. , Work very hard.

But when there are too many employees, there will always be one or two strange ones, and Zhao Wenbin's mother, Sun Hailan, is the one that impresses Shen Yunjin deeply.

Because the Shen family moved here for the purpose of setting up a factory, they were pure outsiders in Zhaojia Village, and they didn't know much about the temperament of each family. Sun Hailan came to do odd jobs, and of course Su Chunhua and Shen Hongbo would not specifically reject her.

Unexpectedly, it’s okay for this aunt to secretly bring piles of pickles to the house on weekdays, and every time she sneaks out for a long time before everyone else, and then waits for all the workers to get off work and leave. When I came back, I asked Su Chunhua for the wages of the day.

Anyway, she was just a temporary worker. Although Su Chunhua felt that this person was unreliable, she didn't have the nerve to say anything more, but she didn't expect that after a month or so, when the Shen family's first batch of jobs that required temporary workers were finished, she would come back again. Suddenly jumped out and said that the Shen family hadn't paid her wages yet.

Because the wages of temporary workers are all paid on the same day, and Shen Hongbo and Su Chunhua were so busy during that time, so the accounting only records the total amount of the day's expenses, and there is no account to prove it for a while. Getting angry, he rolled around in the Shen family's factory for a whole day.

Although Shen Hongbo was angry, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm local snakes. They just moved here, and if they can save one thing, they will have one less thing. In addition, Shen Hongbo really can't afford to lose face at such a young age, so he was blackmailed by her. One month's wages back.

It's just that the Shen family and the Zhao family have never been in contact since then.

Although Shen Yunjin also felt that it would be nice not to have any contact with this kind of woman for the rest of his life, he still decided to find a way to avoid that blackmail.

Su Chunhua had already glued the crack on the plastic sheet, Shen Yunjin let go of the plastic sheet, and ran to the old lady Gu: "Grandma, didn't my parents say they need some aunts to help?" Washing cabbage? Who is good around here, please recommend it!"

Gu Dongyuan had already parked his bicycle in the corner, and when he saw him squatting next to grandma, he immediately followed him step by step, squatting next to Shen Yunjin.

Before Mrs. Gu could speak, Su Chunhua burst out laughing: "This kid has a lot of eyes, and he knows how to ask grandma about this. It's really worrying!"

"It's called being sensible, aren't you happy that the child is sensible?" Mrs. Gu smiled and picked up a small cabbage at the bottom, and stretched out her hand to wipe the mud on her head. They're all the same, what's wrong with it, it's too late to be happy even if you have a job to make money, who dare not work hard?"

The old lady Gu’s frequency band was completely different from his own. Shen Yunjin could not help clearing his throat depressedly, and reminded in a low voice: "For example, is there anyone with a problem with character? My parents live here. If you are not familiar with the place, you still have to do the selection.”

With a few simple sentences, a tall hat was firmly placed on the old lady's head.

Hearing what he said, Su Chunhua couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "Don't say it, ma'am, we Yunjin said the same reasoning, Hongbo and I have just arrived here, and we've been acquainted with you and Dongyuan since we first arrived. You still have to worry about it."

"Don't worry about it. We all live together as a family. Shouldn't I be more concerned? But the young daughters-in-law around here are indeed quite capable, so there shouldn't be any problem," the old man said. The wife's hand suddenly patted on her thigh, "By the way, I almost forgot about Zhao Wuniu's wife, that is, the wife of the family with two pepper trees planted at the door to the east, called Hailan, that woman is really She's so tricky and lazy, when you invite someone, you have to bypass her no matter what!"

Bingo!

This time is the real hit!

Shen Yunjin felt ecstasy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Su Chunhua also raised her head and subconsciously looked east, but she couldn't see anything because of the high courtyard wall: "Fortunately you mentioned something today, when I passed by her door two days ago, She also asked me if I needed someone to do the work, and I said that I would call her tomorrow, so if that’s the case, if I go out and call someone tomorrow, why don’t I use her when she comes? Isn’t that too good?”

Su Chunhua was still young after all, and many things were considered out of face.

The old lady Gu seemed to have seen Sun Hailan's temper a long time ago, she wrinkled her face and shook her head at Su Chunhua: "Whatever is good, this is paying people to work, not letting them do it for nothing, isn't it true that the boss has not done it?" The right to decide who to invite? How about this, later you discuss with Hongbo to see how many people you want tomorrow, and I'll help you find one by one at night, just bypass her."

In this way, the old lady directly made a decisive decision on this matter.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Shen Yunjin stretched his hand to the side, wanting to drag Gu Dongyuan to the Gu family to do his homework, but he didn't expect it to be empty.

Turning his head, he realized that the boy had climbed onto the pool at some point, and was helping Shen Hongbo flush the wall of the pool with a water hose.

Shen Yunjin immediately walked towards him, stepped on the specially built steps around the pool, climbed up step by step, and walked to him.

Gu Dongyuan quickly found his trace, rubbed his elbow on him, and raised his chin outside the fence: "Look, you can see the outside of my house from here."

When Shen Yunjin heard his words, he couldn't help but glanced over the fence.

The Gu family's house was built behind this factory building. Of course, it was also far away from the main road, and next to a whole small forest. When the house was built, Gu's father specially opened up an open space, so the entrance of the Gu family's house looked extremely spacious.

But now when Shen Yunjin looked at the open space, what appeared in his mind was a bush of grapes that grew lushly in the open space in his previous life.

That vine was planted by Gu Dongyuan, and it grew into a green shade within a few years.

Although Shen Yunjin didn't talk to Gu Dongyuan very much, he really ate a lot of grapes from him in his last life.

Later, after Gu Dongyuan passed away, Mrs. Gu once sat under the vine and cried, and murmured to him while crying: "When you were young, Dongyuan heard you say that you like to eat grapes, so you don't want to eat grapes." I know where to get a seedling and plant it, I really didn't expect it to grow for so many years."

That was the first time Shen Yunjin knew the reason why Gu Dongyuan planted that vine.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Dongyuan rubbed against him again, deliberately amplifying the volume amidst the rushing water.

Only then did Shen Yunjin come to his senses, took a deep breath, and looked up at Gu Dongyuan's side face: "Shall we plant a vine in front of your house?"
