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

Although Shen Yunjin has never been an activist, Gu Dongyuan was very concerned about his proposal. In just two days, he did not know where to get a grape seedling, and planted it with Shen Yunjin on the field in front of the house. on the clearing.

Then Gu Dongyuan carefully went to the woods to dig a few earthworms and buried them next to him, saying that he wanted to loosen the soil for the grapes.

Shen Yunjin couldn't help laughing when he saw how he was taking good care of the grape seedling.

Just as the two of them circled around the grape seedlings, the factory became more and more lively.

First, Master Mu moved to the house that Shen Hongbo specially rented for him nearby, and then he immediately instructed Qiu San, his second aunt, and Shen Hongbo and his wife to mix the sauce together, three large ponds, how much water, soy sauce, sugar, and zero. Every detail matters.

The highlight of the pickled vegetables is naturally Master Mu's unique recipe.

The ingredients of this recipe are simple to say the least, and it is nothing more than home-made condiments such as chili, Chinese prickly ash, brown sugar, white wine, salt, and old ginger. people know.

Before each pond is filled with materials, Shen Hongbo will also know how to take other people to the other side of the factory, give the space to Master Mu, let him mix it in a big iron basin, and then send someone to pour the whole basin into the pond. In the pool, keep stirring until the sauce that fills the pool is even in color.

After stirring, just the salty aroma from the pool full of sauce can make people take a few deep breaths.

When the sauce is ready, it's time for the pile of green cabbage to go to the pond.

Old Mrs. Gu called four fast-looking women from nearby, and of course Sun Hailan was not among them.

Adding it up and down, apart from Mrs. Gu and Master Mu who did the accidental work, there were a total of eight people who spent four whole days washing the batch of cabbage lumps several times until there was a little bit of mud on them. I couldn't see them, so I dumped them in the pond one by one.

After the pickles were put into the pool, they couldn’t be idle. In the first few days, they had to take turns to stir back and forth in the pool with clean big wooden sticks to ensure that the cabbage would not pile up and rot at the bottom of the pool, and to ensure that each pickle lump The sauce is even to the touch.

Unlike mixing sauce, stirring the big pool full of pickles is a real physical work, and a group of people also take turns to do it one by one.

Even so, when eating every night, Shen Yunjin could still clearly see the fatigue on his parents' faces.

It's a pity that he is only a nine-year-old child now, even if he wants to help his parents share the burden, he still has enough energy to spare.

Not to mention stirring the pool of pickles, just holding that thick and long wooden stick may be in danger of falling into the pool.

Although this kind of heavy work can't be done, Shen Yunjin still consciously takes Gu Dongyuan to the factory as soon as school is over, doing some work that children can do.

It's just that most of the activities that children can do are taken over by Gu Dongyuan alone. Most of the time, Shen Yunjin feels like a leader, and can only "inspect" every corner of the factory with his hands behind his back.

After such a busy day, more than a month has passed, and the pickles in the pond have reached the late stage of pickling, and there is no need to turn them over from time to time, and the group of temporary workers were also sent back after Shen Hongbo settled the wages.

After finally relaxing, Shen Hongbo deliberately went to the vegetable market to cut a large piece of pork back, asked Su Chunhua to stir-fry a few side dishes, and stewed a large pot of oily braised pork, and called Qiu Sanhe who usually went home to eat Second Aunt and Master Mu who had been eating with them set up a table of wine in the small courtyard of the Gu family.

Although it is common for the boss to invite guests to have a meal together after a busy day, in this day and age, it is really rare for the boss to actually cook a big pot of pure meat for the workers.

Seeing Shen Hongbo's generosity, even Master Mu, who has always been unsmiling, frowned a lot more than usual. He took the initiative to drink a glass of white wine with him, smacked his lips and said, "When the weather gets hotter, the cucumbers will all come down. Let's pickle a few more Little cucumber in a crock, I, Old Mu, guarantee that you will sell it completely."

This implies that the recipe of his pickled cucumbers is naturally unique.

Shen Hongbo's smile naturally deepened when he heard this, and he poured another full glass of wine for Master Mu: "With Master Mu here, I'm not afraid that these dishes won't sell, you are a treasure in our factory."

This kind of five or 60-year-old master likes to be praised the most. Hearing him say this is of course very useful, but he is still modest in his mouth: "Don't say that, I am an old man, that's all I can say." The craft works."

Even though he said so, anyone could see that the corners of his mouth were turned up, but not just a little.

Qiu San has always been honest, and when he heard Shen Hongbo's praise to the master, he blushed a little embarrassedly: "Boss, I'm stupid, so I only have all my energy. Just let the proprietress tell you, I will definitely work hard and not let you down!"

As he said that, he didn't wait to clink glasses with Shen Hongbo, he raised a glass of wine and drank it down, causing everyone at the table to chuckle.

Neither Shen Yunjin nor Gu Dongyuan participated in this kind of communication between adults, but Shen Yunjin has been quietly watching from the sidelines.

Dad's performance tonight is really like a boss. He won't lose his airs and win people's hearts. For Shen Hongbo, who is doing business for the first time, it is already very good.

It took more than two hours for this meal to end because it was too late, but in these two hours, Master Mu and the others seemed to get acquainted with the Shen family couple much faster than the previous month.

When the three of them went back, Shen Yunjin and Gu Dongyuan voluntarily stayed and wanted to help the adults who had been tired all day clean up the mess, but after Shen Hongbo and Su Chunhua sent the three of them out, they helped the old lady Gu back to sit at the dining table again. When they got down, they looked like they had something important to discuss.

Mrs. Gu obviously saw that something was wrong with them, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you two?"

Su Chunhua and Shen Hongbo glanced at each other, and she still took out a small stack of RMB from her pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in the direction of Old Madam Gu: "Ma'am, for more than a month, our family of three has been living with you." You ate here, and you also helped a lot with the work in the front factory, I know that you are not doing it for money, but I discussed it with Hongbo, and I still think you have to keep the money."

Hearing her words, Old Madam Gu's face turned pale, and she pushed the money back to Su Chunhua: "What money is not paid? What's the matter with eating here? Besides, Hongbo has already given the money for food. Let me go, I went to the front to help because I was bored at home, how can I collect money, what do you think of my aunt?"

"Auntie, listen to me, of course we know that you are helping us because of our friendship, but, look, it's not easy for you to raise Dongyuan by yourself. Hongbo and I want you to come to the factory regularly. Let's start, of course the most important thing is to take care of how much we eat. In the future, even if you are a member of our factory, you will not pay extra for your salary, just like Second Aunt, otherwise you will say that we two It’s a pity that a young man is always rubbing against you, an old man’s craftsmanship.”

"Yes, ma'am, just keep it, so that we can have food every day without doing anything here, and we will feel sorry for it after a long time. Besides, we have delayed your job of gluing matchboxes, so you should be You're sticking matchboxes for us, and you're helping us a lot, okay?" Shen Hongbo also hurriedly spoke to the side.

Shen Yunjin hadn't thought of this move by his parents at all in advance.

Because Shen Yunjin didn't live with Gu Dongyuan in the previous life, so the two of them didn't eat together every day like they do now, at most they just walked around more frequently.

And Mrs. Gu, because of her age here, spends all day tinkering with matchboxes, beads and other work at home, and has never been to their factory to help out. Of course, Shen Hongbo and Su Chunhua will not pay her wages. .

However, this situation is what Shen Yunjin is very happy to see. As Su Chunhua said, Mrs. Gu is a widowed old woman, and it is really not easy to support Gu Dongyuan. If she is offered a fixed salary, as long as the factory continues to operate, She no longer has to worry about financial reasons.

Anyway, with cooking and other things, there are two children who can't get tired.

Mrs. Gu obviously didn't expect that they would pay such an old woman as herself, and her eyes suddenly became a little excited: "I am an old woman, how can I still get paid... Besides, like Qiu Zhi, there are too many... ..."

really.If they only hired one person to cook, they wouldn't need the high salary of a coolie. To put it bluntly, Shen Hongbo and Su Chunhua still felt sorry for the old and weak women and children of the Gu family and wanted to help them.

"Not too much, not too much, not much at all, of course you can't give less to grandma than to outsiders!" Shen Yunjin quickly lay down in the arms of Old Madam Gu, pretending to be stupid coquettishly.

With children playing tricks, the debate came to an end. Su Chunhua picked up the stack of money on the table and stuffed it directly into the old lady Gu's hand: "You see that Yun Jin has said so, so don't refuse." , From now on, we will decide like this, besides, this bastard Yunjin lives with you every day to bother you, you confiscate our rent in the same way, we have nothing to do, so don't worry about it so much."

In fact, it's not that Mrs. Gu really doesn't want this salary. After all, it's really unreliable to support a child just by pasting matchboxes and beaded flowers.

Every time she thinks about some long-term things like marrying a daughter-in-law when her grandson grows up, Mrs. Gu can't help but be full of worries.

First, she was afraid that she would not be able to afford the money to marry her grandson when she lived to that time, and second, she was afraid that she would not live until that time, and it would be even more pitiful to leave her grandson alone.

The salary the Shen family gave her was the general level of the factory at that time, 800 yuan a month, but this was no different from a huge sum of money to Mrs. Gu.

Elderly people and children don't have any other expenses except food and clothing, and Shen Hongbo will cover even the money for meals in the future, and she can't spend dozens of dollars every month even if she pays her full bills.

Save the rest, and when the grandson grows up, the dowry money and banquet money will definitely be saved as well.

Thinking of these, Mrs. Gu felt that her future life was full of hope, and her whole body was full of strength.

She immediately stood up from the stool, smiling so that the wrinkles on her face seemed much prettier than usual: "Then I, an old woman, won't be polite to you, you all get up, and I'll clean up these dishes and bowls."

Just after taking the money, the old lady was full of energy, and even resolutely refused Su Chunhua and the two children's request for help, and went to work in the kitchen with a lot of plates and bowls by herself.

Su Chunhua and Shen Hongbo were tired all day, since they don't need their help now, they went to the front to rest early.

Shen Yunjin and Gu Dongyuan also hurriedly took a shower in the yard, and then went back to the room.

Today, because of this time-consuming meal, the tuition for the two of them has been postponed for a long time.

Shen Yunjin took out all the textbooks in his schoolbag and put them on the table, only to find that Gu Dongyuan, who used to put his face up every now and then, has not moved for a long time today.

He stretched out his foot and kicked Gu Dongyuan who was standing by the bed in a daze, and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Gu Dongyuan turned his head, blinked, and looked at him seriously, but his mood was a little depressed: "Your parents are really kind."

Hearing his words, Shen Yunjin couldn't help laughing when he looked at his solemn expression: "My parents are nice people, why do you still have such a bitter and bitter expression?"

Gu Dongyuan shook his head, walked to his side and held his hand tightly, but his expression suddenly became more serious: "You wait, I will make money to support you and your parents in the future."
