Chapter 275 The Light in the Night

He listened and couldn't believe it.

She was very happy to hear it, but she asked again carefully, "Is it true?"

"Yes... it's true..."

"Tomorrow morning...I'll...go to open up wasteland and farm land, one day...as soon as I get money."

Lin Chai only spoke more in front of Mr. He.

Because he knew that his wife and three sons would not laugh at him when he stuttered.

Mr. He was sure that the news was true, and a smile appeared on his face, "That's great."

"Five coins a day, it's close to home, you don't have to go out, and you get paid once a day. It's really good."

Lin Chai smiled when he saw the smile on He's face.

Seeing his wife happy, he was happy too.

He won't say anything nice, but he wants to work hard to make money and make his wife less hard.

And the three sons in the family, when they are all half-sized enough to eat, he has been trying to find ways to make more money.

But he didn't dare to go out to work. On the one hand, he stuttered, and many people laughed at him when they didn't use him.

His daughter-in-law was reluctant for him to go out and work hard.

Besides, his daughter-in-law was in poor health, so he didn't dare to go out to find work.

He can also take care of his daughter-in-law at home.

"Uncle Su... also... said... Well done... There will be a lot of work like this..."

Lin Chai stammered out a complete sentence.

Mr. He suddenly became energetic. She sorted Lin Chai's clothes and said, "If you work hard, our family's conditions will also improve."

"I'll go home and cook."

Although it is said to be cooking, it is a soup with coarse grains and lumps, and there is also some coarse noodles in it, and there is nothing.

Then there is the raw wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables were dug by He's in the ground.

For them, it’s enough to padded their stomachs, how can they really be full.

Even if they had collected food, they would not be willing to eat it.

These grains need to be enough to eat for a year, and they also want to sell a part of the grain to support the family.

…

There are dozens of families in Suteng Village, and there are many such families.

Mr. Su has chosen many people to open up wasteland.

Because there are a lot of 50 acres of land in total, if there are many people, you can finish the work earlier.

Su's main house

After dinner, the family sat on the kang and continued to peel the corn and talk.

Su Binglan went to town and exchanged silver for countless copper plates.

She took out the purse, then took out a small box, and poured all the copper plates into the small box.

"Crash..."

The sound of the copper plate being poured out, everyone felt that the sound was really nice.

Looking at the pile of copper plates again, there is a rich feeling.

"I think it's still a lot of money to exchange for copper."

Su Binglan explained: "These are the money for everyone to open up wasteland and farm land. It is settled once a day, and five cents per person."

Su Wenzhe put down the corn in his hand, reached out and touched the copper plate, and said, "I came back from town tonight and saw many people in our village gathered in the street to talk, and everyone saw me very enthusiastically."

Everyone greeted him, including those seniors, who talked to him enthusiastically.

Su Wenzhe felt a little different.

Liu Yinyin lowered her head and continued to peel the corn kernels, "I feel like many people are very happy."

Su Wenxiu said with emotion: "Because five cents a day is really good for everyone, and it's still one a day, so seeing cash is different."

"Just before I went to work in the town, I was given five cents a day, and I was very happy."

"Because I work for five or six days, I have more than twenty pennies, and I can buy some noodles and rice."

Su Wenwu also agreed with Su Wenxiu's words, "I understand this feeling, mainly because it is not the busy farming season, everyone is idle, and there is no need to go outside to open up wasteland and cultivate land, they are all in the village, and family affairs are not delayed. Come to everyone. It's really good."

Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu have both suffered outside, so they naturally understand the feelings of many people in the village.

These days, many people starve to death, so of course they are happy to make more money.

Even if you buy some flour, you can eat it for a long time.

Su Fengmao sighed and said, "But we are hiring people to open up wasteland and farm land. We can only hire people who can work in the village, not people who can't make the effort."

Although he saw many hungry people with yellow faces and thin skin, he couldn't bear it.

But their family's money is also hard earned by the children, not the wind blowing, so it can't be given away for nothing.

And even if you help others for a while, that's not a problem.

Shen Qiuhua said: "Everyone has to live on their own. People can't rely on others for charity. Everyone in the village knows this truth, so don't think about it."

Su Binglan looked at her father's expression and knew that her father had a good heart. She felt that she only hired some people and not the rest of the village.

Su Binglan said softly with relief: "Father, in fact, we can encourage everyone to work diligently and live an active life like this. People who are diligent and able to contribute will have a better life."

"And in the future, when we open a big tofu factory, we can hire people from the village to work. It doesn't take much effort, so many people can do it."

Hearing these words, Su Fengmao felt less burdened and guilty, "Indeed, it is still my daughter who is capable and can help so many people."

Su Binglan shook his head and said, "It's not helping others, it's helping ourselves."

"The tofu shop is opened in the village, and it is convenient for parents to take care of it, so there is no need to go to the town."

"The land in the main village is also cheap. It doesn't cost much to build a tofu factory. It is also convenient to hire people from the village to work. We can save a lot."

If you buy land from the town to the village, Su Binglan inquired about it, why does it cost one or two silver per mu of land.

Su Binglan does not do things blindly, she knows what she does.

"My daughter is right."

Su Binglan then gave the copper plate to Su Fengmao and said, "Dad, I'll leave it to you to pay everyone's wages."

Su Fengmao took over the box where the copper plates were placed, feeling that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

And it feels good to send money to everyone, he said excitedly: "Daughter, don't worry, Dad will definitely handle this matter."

"Guarantee that you can't go wrong with a penny."

Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Fengmao's expression and knew that he was doing things well, but he also reminded: "It's all the hard work of everyone, so you can't make a mistake."

After everyone talked about the conversation, Su Binglan went back to her room to rest.

Her room is also large and has a special desk.

is a large desk that Su Binglan and Luo Jinan can use together.

Su Binglan did not rush to sleep after returning to the room.

She also draws the design.

She lit the oil lamp on the table, then took out a piece of chipped charcoal and drew it on the paper.

This is the design drawing of the tofu workshop. She has drawn very detailed drawings of the structure and space inside.

kept painting until very late, and Su Binglan went to bed only after the painting was done.

…

In the early morning of the next day, it was just dawn, and the lights of many people in the village were lit up.

The light is dim and yellow, but it is also the light in the hazy night.
