"That's right. In the past, we were the ones who finished everything first. Today, they came back early, so we finished everything together. Okay, you can do your own thing. We are back now, and it's almost time for dinner at home." Geng Chunhua continued.
Seeing that they were about to go back, Gu Qingqing stopped them and said, "Don't worry, I need your help with something. I plan to hire three more people for the soap workshop. Please help me learn how to speak after you return to the village. See if anyone wants to come. If anyone wants to come, just ask them to come to my house tomorrow."
Wen Shengxi and Geng Chunhua were in charge of making soap. Seeing that Gu Qingqing was still hiring people, Geng Chunhua's first reaction was that she was not doing well. Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Qingqing, tell me the truth, is there something we are not doing well enough? Is it affecting our livelihood? Just tell us straight away."
Chen Wenfang had just come to work, and he and Gu Qingqing were just acquaintances when they met in the village. At this moment, he was also looking at Gu Qingqing nervously.
I’m afraid that the other party will not let me do it.
When Gu Qingqing saw that they had misunderstood her, she laughed and said, "It's not that you guys didn't do a good job, it's that I didn't explain it clearly. I took a job from a shop today, and they also want my soap. You guys alone won't be able to make it in time, so I need to add a few more people."
Geng Chunhua was straightforward. When she heard that it was not her fault, she immediately said in a loud voice, "I was shocked by you. Since there is a shortage of people, leave it to me. I will go back to the village to promote it for you. Do you have any requests?"
Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "My dear young wife, you don't have to come too early tomorrow. Just come at the end of the morning hour."
"Okay." Geng Chunhua was about to leave when she said that. Gu Qingqing stopped her again and said, "I have something else to do. Sister Geng, why are you in such a hurry? Leave later."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, her eyes fell on Lu Xiaocao, "Xiaocao, there is a lot of brine left today, take a bowl and give each of them a spoonful, so that they can take it back to eat. As for Baoyu and Xiaoxiu, let Wen Xin take you there and give them a bowl."
Gu Qingqing did not let Wang Baoyu and Wang Xiaoxiu interfere in family affairs. After they came back from the town, Gu Qingqing let them go back.
This time we have to share things with them. Even though the two have already gone home, their share cannot be reduced.
Several people looked at each other, without being polite, and thanked Gu Qingqing. Then each of them took back a less than full bowl of soup with braised meat.
As for the remaining chicken, it was left for itself to eat in the evening.
During dinner that evening, Gu Qingqing told Zhao Dong and the others that they wanted to move the donkey shed in the backyard and asked them if they had time in the next few days.
Zhao Dong agreed without thinking, "Boss, just draw a place, and leave the rest to us brothers."
Zhao Nan talked about the plan to burn the mountain tomorrow, and then said, "If this method works, the three of us will have nothing to do tomorrow afternoon, and then we can go to the mountain to cut more bamboo and build a shed quickly."
Zhao Dong seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhao Feng who was sitting across from him, "You go to town in my place tomorrow and I'll stay."
"Brother Dong, there's no rush to build the donkey shed. Don't delay your work at hand." When Gu Qingqing heard that Zhao Dongming was not going to the town, she hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
But Zhao Dong stretched his neck to look at the table where Gu Qingqing was sitting, "Boss, I calculated the day and it's time to fish out the bamboos on the mountain and put them in the creek."
"Put water in the bamboo, oh~" Gu Qingqing stretched out her voice halfway through her words. The first thing she thought of was that the bamboo on the mountain was growing well, so why should it be put in the water? She suddenly put it in the water halfway through her words. What Zhao Dong wanted to say was that there were still bamboo slices fermenting in the two pits on the mountain.
Gu Qingqing has been busy with town affairs lately and has forgotten about the bamboo rot in the pit on the mountain. She smiled awkwardly at him and said, "I haven't been thinking much lately. Thanks to Brother Dong for reminding me. By the way, Brother Dong, when will the goods in your town be finished?"
"From the current perspective, it should be soon. We only have a few scattered orders and the wall painting for the last shop. Why do you ask this? But there are other things at home?" Zhao Dong was a little puzzled.
Then Gu Qingqing told them about a business she had taken on in Xinzhou Prefecture and the need to deliver goods there.
"It's not a big deal. We have so many brothers. We can just pick two of them to make the trip when the time comes." Zhao Dong and his companions came all the way from other places, and the distance they walked was much longer than a trip to Xinzhou Prefecture. They didn't care about the journey to Xinzhou Prefecture at all.
"Okay, I'll tell Brother Dong in advance when we're going."
......
That night, news that Wen Wuyan's family was going to open a workshop and recruit people for work swept through Niutoushan Village.
It was clearly stated that they could arrive at the end of the noon hour, but the villagers were so impatient that half of them were already in the front yard of the Wen family just after noon hour.
There were about twenty people inside and outside the room, including young wives, girls from the village, and aunts and uncles. Some who were slightly familiar with Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to come forward and chat, and Gu Qingqing chatted with them one by one.
Especially when looking at the older ones, Gu Qingqing felt that the corners of her mouth were twitching. What a good guy! If they just came to join in the fun, she would welcome them. But if they also wanted to work at home, Gu Qingqing could not agree to it.
Although farmers are strong after they are over 50, if something unexpected happens while working at home, she will not even have time to cry.
At this time, Gu Qingqing spotted a man who was coming with his granddaughter-in-law, and smiled and greeted him, "Aunt, why are you here too? I was worried about your granddaughter-in-law coming to my house alone, so you came to protect her. Don't worry, as long as you are young, you will have a chance. Even if you are not selected today, there will be other opportunities later."
Gu Qingqing spoke directly to block some people's thoughts.
The man who was approached by Gu Qingqing chuckled and hurriedly pushed his granddaughter-in-law in front of Gu Qingqing, "Qingqing, look, this is my Chunyan. Look at her hands, you can tell she is a hard worker."
The other person stretched out his hand. Gu Qingqing looked carefully. The person looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but the hand he stretched out looked like that of a middle-aged woman in the village.
"He's a diligent person. Wait until everyone is here and then I'll take a look." Gu Qingqing avoided her question.
"Qingqing, look, so many of us have come, can we start? Do you think I, your aunt, am suitable? I am a good hand at housework. We used to live in the front and back yards. You often came to my house, and you know my home well." The speaker was an aunt from the village. She was half right. They did live in the front and back yards, with her family in the front and old Wen's family in the back.
At that time, Gu Qingqing didn't go to her house very often. It wasn't that the aunt in front of her was bad, but she had endless work to do at that time and had no time to visit and chat.
As soon as she opened her mouth, without even waiting for Gu Qingqing to say anything, it was like pouring a bucket of water into a frying pan.
"Sister-in-law Wang, we were there when Chunhua spoke in the village yesterday. She said they only wanted a young wife. You are already her mother-in-law's wife, so why did you come over? Don't you consider your age?" The person who spoke was a person from the village who had some problems with the Wang family.
Gu Qingqing knew why they didn't deal with it. It was because of the problem with the ridges in the fields a long time ago.
Gu Qingqing glanced at the other person and saw through his intention. The other person was not in good health, and it seemed that since he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it either.
