After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 180 Strike while the iron is hot

After everything was settled, Boss Yang and his group were handed over to Lord Yao and his team for arrangements.

Thinking that the people in the farm didn't know what happened to them today, Xu Qinghe asked Zhang Dazhui to drive the car and went back to the mansion to say hello to Cui's mother and daughter before going back to the farm.

When he came out of the house again, Xu Qinghe noticed that in just one day, there had been some changes in the city.

A notice was posted at the city gate, saying that the end of the year was approaching and that every household in the city had to carry out a series of related work such as inspecting houses and clearing ditches. The dilapidated houses in the city had to be either demolished immediately or reinforced as soon as possible. Not only that, some measures were also formulated for neighbors to report on each other.

It seems that the people above did not dare to directly announce the news of heavy snow. On the one hand, it was to prevent the news from being wrong. If these things did not happen, the court would lose face.

On the other hand, it is to prevent people from taking advantage of this incident to cause trouble, which would cause panic among the people and would be counterproductive.

Yesterday, there were not enough pig intestines on the farm to make sausages, so Xu Qinghe followed his daughter's instructions and went to the market to buy a few pairs of pig intestines, and took them to the farm.

When he went over, he saw rows of sausages hanging on the racks that had been set up yesterday. They looked bright in color and really whetted his appetite.

Unfortunately, my daughter said that it cannot be eaten yet and we have to wait for some time for it to absorb the flavor.

Seeing the boss coming, all the people who were working immediately gathered around him and looked at him expectantly.

"Everyone, don't worry, this is a good thing."

Knowing that these people were worried about the men in their families going to the government office, Xu Qinghe did not keep them in suspense and immediately told them what had happened today.

"Although Lord Yao didn't mention any wages, we are still working for the government, so he will give us some money. Regardless of whether he gives us money or not, our Xu family will not let you work in vain."

Actually, these people are now servants of the Xu family. It is only natural for their master to ask them to do something. There is no need to talk about wages.

The reason why Xu Qinghe did this was that he considered that these people were too poor and it would be a sin to watch them.

They were all starving at first, but after living on the farm for some time, they not only gained some weight, but also felt much better.

"We listen to our master's arrangements, that's what we should do. Even if we don't get paid, we are willing to do it."

When they heard that this was work for the government and that the boss had promised to pay them, everyone's faces showed some joy.

Li Qingshi brought a group of people to thank Xu Qinghe. They talked a few more words about building the kang. Xu Qinghe asked people to take out the pig intestines and continue to stuff the remaining pork into them.

"It seems like you guys are really quick. Let's strike while the iron is hot and slaughter all the pigs over there today."

"We all listen to the boss. There's nothing to do here. Just leave a few people at home to watch over it."

Hearing that they were going to another farm to slaughter pigs today, everyone was very happy. The men went to pack up the tools used for slaughtering pigs yesterday, and the women went to get the seasonings needed for pickling that Yuxiu left behind yesterday.

While everyone was making preparations, Xu Qinghe went to the yard to check and found that all the pig heads, bones, trotters, tails, offal and other odds and ends had been cleaned up and pickled in several large vats.

All the dirt from yesterday was cleaned up by the children, the bloodstains on the ground were shoveled away, and not a single pig hair was left.

After looking around, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, we are ready."

Li Qingshi ran over to report, and he had people harness a few horse-drawn carriages. Those who wanted to go to the farm to help climbed up, pulling each other, and looked around with curiosity on their faces.

Many people here have never ridden in a carriage. Before, no matter where they wanted to go, they had to rely on their own two feet.

It was when Yuxiu came over last time that she saw it, and she said that there were dozens of horses and several carriages on the farm, so they could just be pulled out and used when needed.

This is also to save some time. Otherwise, if you have to rely on your own two legs to go to the city to buy something, it will take a whole day to go back and forth, which is really a waste of time to do things.

"Do you guys want to go too?"

When Xu Qinghe got on the carriage, he saw seven or eight half-grown children, both boys and girls, surrounding the carriage, looking at the people in the carriage with hope on their faces.

"If you want to go, you can come with me. If there is no room, come to my carriage."

Xu Qinghe saw it clearly yesterday that these children were all very sensible. Not only were they quick and efficient in doing things, they were also very perceptive.

“We want to go…”

"Thank you, Master. We all want to go."

"I want to go, but my mother said I can't help and will only cause trouble..."

When the children heard Xu Qinghe's question, they were not nervous and quickly answered loudly, saying that they really wanted to go.

"The master has agreed. What are you still hesitating about? Get in the car."

Li Qingshi roared helplessly, and the children quickly climbed onto the bus. A group of people were chattering, and it looked quite lively.

Because there was not enough room in the car, and because of some little thoughts as a man, Li Qingshi and several young men did not ride in a carriage, but rode a few shiny black horses.

Although they were all farmers who had no idea how to ride horses, they had gotten familiar with the horses over the past period of time. There was a large barren mountain behind them, so when they had free time, they would take advantage of the time when they led the horses to graze to practice.

These horses are very understanding of human nature. Not only are they gentle, they also seem to understand what they say, so most people in the village have learned to ride horses.

As soon as everyone left the village, they met a dozen dark and thin farmers in front of them. They were carrying hoes and other tools in their hands, and their trouser legs were covered with mud. It seemed that they had just returned from working in the fields.

"Hey, Manager Li, where are you going?"

The person asking the questions was a tall and thin middle-aged man. Li Qingshi had dealt with him several times and knew that he was the head of the village next door. His surname was Zheng, and everyone called him Zheng Zhuangtou.

"Isn't this the master's other farm that wants to slaughter a pig? Let's go over and help."

When the pigs were slaughtered yesterday, their screams could be heard from far away. It was impossible to hide the matter, so Li Qingshi did not hide it. Besides, there was no need to do so.

There are many farms here, and everyone helps the owners raise pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other animals.
