After dinner, Mei Zhonghua told Li Mingyun, "today I've settled the accounts of the workers, and it's time to harvest the wheat. I have to let people go home to work."
Li Mingyun was sulky when he mentioned this, but he didn't attack. He just asked patiently, "how much money did you pay everyone this time? How much did you lose yourself?"
"In fact, it's really not much. A big worker is nearly 100, and a small worker is nearly 50. The salary alone is more than 800. Besides the material money, I really don't make much money I've been busy these days, and I've made two or three hundred... "
Mei Zhonghua obviously has a lack of confidence. According to his estimation, if a house is built, it will cost at least four or five hundred yuan. However, the profit is less than half of what he estimated. I'm afraid it is not as good as the monthly profit of the store!
"Only two or three hundred?"
In the past, Li Mingyun would not say so, but now that she has a broader vision and more knowledge, she realizes that Mei Zhonghua is a bit of a waste of effort this time. It took nearly two months to earn two or three hundred yuan, and one month I earned about one hundred yuan. Although this is much higher than ordinary people's wages, the profit in building houses is very low.
But who can blame?
Otherwise, Mei Zhonghua made up his own mind to increase the wages of the big workers by 50 cents, and he would have increased the wages of these four big workers by more than 100!
"Mingyun, this is my first time to help people build houses. I really don't have any experience. I won't earn so much next time."
"You mean to say that? You don't earn less, but you divide all the money you earn. One big worker's daily salary is 50 cents more, and four big workers are two yuan. Do you calculate that in these two months, you can't get more than 100? "
Mei Zhonghua's face was a little red, "OK, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else?"
"I have nothing to say."
Li Mingyun thinks that those big workers have been paid 100 yuan in the past two months, while her brother-in-law has only a poor 50-60 He was still doing the work of the big workers, so he couldn't help pleading for his own people.
"Mingyun, how are you doing with your purchase? Are you afraid to run so far? "
"What's so terrible about that? If I was alone, I must be a little afraid But this time I was with Ran Ran Ran. You don't see that our family is young, but we have a backbone. It's a lot easier for me to have her here
Mei Zhonghua heard, and proud, "of course, you don't think about whose daughter this is, that smart power is with me."
"You just stink!"
Li Mingyun arranged, "it's ok if you build the house over there. Go to Beiguan tomorrow to help. My parents work there. I can't get busy At present, only Mingqin and Mingyue can help. Two women can't be as good as a man. They're going to start cutting wheat tomorrow morning. You must get there. "
"That's OK. It's not a big deal to cut wheat. I can't do anything else. I'm a good farmer."
Seeing that he has a good attitude, Li Mingyun has no good intention to argue with him any more.
The next day, Mei Zhonghua got up very early to help his father-in-law's wheat harvest. Li Mingyun also wanted to go back to help him, but he was stopped by Mei Zhonghua. "You must be tired when you go out to buy goods in two days. Don't try to be brave. I promise to help my parents do well in the field work. I won't let you have a snack."
Li Mingyun didn't go to the ground, but he didn't have time. He called Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister up early. "You two don't have to sleep late. Lei Lei, you should buy more steamed buns and fried dough sticks and send them to my grandmother's home. Ran Ran Ran goes to the distillery to buy some yellow rice wine and send it to the field."
This is an unwritten convention at the time of wheat harvest.
In order not to affect the harvest, we all prepared eggs and pancakes. These rare delicious foods were sent to the field. On the one hand, it was to save time. On the other hand, it was also to let the workers eat and work. The yellow rice wine purchased from the distillery is not the high concentration rice wine, but the yellow rice wine mixed with water. It is mainly used to quench thirst and sell it to everyone as a drink.
As soon as Li Mingyun confessed, Mei Xiaoran's sister and brother got busy.
But Mei Xiaoran also made a request that she should ride her mother's Phoenix bike. On such a hot day, riding a bicycle would certainly save a lot of time and cool a lot.
Li Mingyun agreed without saying a word.
Twenty minutes later, Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister rode along the path of farmland on a phoenix bike
Although it's very hot, it's still cool when riding on a bicycle. It's only seven o'clock in the morning. Farmers can be seen everywhere cutting wheat in full swing.
Since the change of policy, the enthusiasm of farmers has been aroused.
In particular, the big package has just come out. In the past, no matter how many kinds of land is planted, the final harvest must be handed over to the public. But now that they have planted more and harvested more, they have all fallen into their own homes. The peasants must have worked harder than before. Besides, this is also the first year of the implementation of large-scale contracting. We are afraid that the policy will change, so we can take advantage of the fact that we can collect as much as we can now If the wind changes again, we will not suffer.When Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister came to the ground, they saw that their grandmother's wheat had already been collected.
Mei Zhonghua was standing on the shady ground with his waist crossed. "It's estimated that it will take two days to finish the harvest. However, I heard the weather forecast that it may rain recently. We have to take advantage of the good weather to quickly harvest the wheat."
"Grandfather, Dad, we've both brought water and rice
When Grandma Li looked back, the two great grandsons were riding on their bikes, their faces were all flushed with sun, and they felt a little distressed, "your mother is really, how can you two run errands in such a hot day?"
"Grandma, this is the two of us who want to come."
There were seven or eight people who came to mow wheat in the morning. After working all morning, they were really thirsty and tired. Seeing the food provided by Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister, they could not help stopping to start eating.
When Grandma Li saw that the steamed buns and fried dough sticks and Li Mingyun's own boiled eggs were delivered, she felt a little distressed. "These meals can cost a lot of money. Mingyun is more and more extravagant now."
Mei Zhonghua said with a smile, "Ma, Mingyun, this is called mending one's faults. She didn't come to work. She felt sorry for her failure, so she asked the children to send them to eat. She was very careful."
These words amused everyone.
Zhao Jun even laughed, "Meige, you are dismantling my elder sister's platform."
"Well, come on, let's finish our work quickly and collect more while the sun is not so poisonous."
Mei Zhonghua urged everyone, and then turned to ask Mei Xiaoran, "have you two eaten?"
Mei Xiaolei replied honestly, "we've been busy delivering food early in the morning. How can we have time to eat?"
It was Mei Xiaoran's clever way, "Dad, you don't have to worry about us. Lei Lei and I will go back to eat later. We want to eat good food."
