Chapter 112 This is my grandfather
Chapter 112 This is my grandfather
"Tomorrow, Third Brother, go back to the temple and ask Eighth Brother where the children are. If they're not far away, go and meet them."
We originally planned to repair the house half and half, but later we thought we might as well repair it all at once. Today, we built a simple shed to shelter from the rain and sun.
"But godfather, if they come now, there will be no place for them to stay. It's okay for a few boys, but how can a girl be accommodated?" Yu San was not sure what the old man meant for a moment, so he had to tell the truth.
"Why can't we live here? We can just build another shed tomorrow. If we can live here, why can't they? Besides, judging by their temperaments, who knows how wild they will get on the road. Urge them to come over and start working soon."
The rest of the people were stunned, thinking that this must be their grandfather, and they were all looking forward to it.
"Okay, I'll go back to the temple tomorrow." Yu San agreed.
"Tomorrow, ask Master Yu to arrange for some disciples to come down the mountain. Tell them that I'm building a house here and my grandchildren will be arriving soon. We're really short of manpower, so I'd like to trouble his disciples, the old immortal, to work hard for a while."
Yu San didn't say much, just agreed.
"You've even set your sights on Immortal Yu's disciples?" Mr. Ma rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.
Old Master Yu said, "It's not that we're short on manpower. Time is tight and there's so much to do. We've already found everyone we can, including Old Seven, Old Three, and Changshui, and it's still not enough. We have no choice but to borrow some from the old immortal. Besides, I won't let them work for nothing. I'll definitely need more donations from the incense money."
"Today I saw Qing Ning running around very busy. The rich families in this county have ordered a lot of festival gifts, and Nong Mang is also renovating his house, so there is an urgent need for manpower. It may be difficult to recruit people who are satisfactory in a short time. Do you want to ask the Ming Mansion for help and let him arrange some people to come?" Mr. Ma still felt sorry for the child. Although he was not very old, he had a lot of things to do.
"I asked the girl, and she has borrowed a master from Xu Minglang for the dim sum staff, so it should be enough. The rest require skills, and it's useless to ask Xue Jingtang for someone who can weave and select. Old Wu and the others will help with the farm work, and we don't need to worry about the rest. The girl has her own ideas, otherwise she wouldn't ask the village chief to help recruit people."
After hearing what Mr. Yu said, Mr. Ma was no longer worried.
When it came to the urgent need for manpower, the Chen family naturally thought of their own relatives. After asking Qing Ning, Li and Tan both thought of asking her natal family to try. They also knew the limits and just told them to come and take a look first. If they liked them, they could stay, but if not, forget it.
Qingning naturally had no objection. Li's younger brother Li Tian had also lived here for quite some time. He was diligent and smart. Qingning had even thought about asking Li to stay, but she had been so busy that she forgot about it.
Tan Yueya and Zhenzhen were both skilled and diligent, so Qing Ning also took over. As for Shi Shuanghu, his legs weren't quite as agile yet, so he couldn't help much, but fortunately, he did have some skills, so we'd make arrangements once he was better.
Qing Ning told them her idea, and they were all overjoyed.
Li is even better. Her younger brother is the one that worries her family the most. Now that he has a proper job, how can she not be happy?
"Oh, I forgot!" Qing Ning suddenly remembered that he had missed something and slapped his head in regret.
Seeing her reaction, her family members hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"
"I forgot. There was a straw sachet for exorcism and a food box in this festival gift. I forgot about them." These were a waste of time. I was only concerned with eating.
"Don't worry, there are many people with this skill in the village. Chunyan was held by your second grandfather and his men. Not only that, I remember there is an old man Shi outside our village. He lives alone and he also makes some things to sell on weekdays. I think his craft is not bad. I will invite him to come tomorrow. You tell me the number later, and I will go to find my second uncle to ask him to find some people and make it when they have time." Chen Changjiang shared his girl's worries.
"I can do these, but my skills are not as good as those of the older generation. I will just follow behind and help out." Shi Shuanghu finally found something he could help with and spoke hurriedly.
"Okay, uncle. Father, I'll write down the quantity for you. You can make this straw sachet into whatever shape you can. Have more patterns, but it must be delicate and not rough. Second sister, you can help prepare the things inside." Now she was too busy to do anything else, so she could only send everyone out.
"Well, leave these to me. I will ask Mr. Ma for details." The things in this sachet are very particular for wealthy families, and it is not just mugwort.
"Grandma, you'll have to work hard these days. The daily life and meals of these families depend on you alone." Qing Ning felt a little guilty. When things got a lot, all the work at home and outside fell on Grandma Chen. Although she didn't have to worry about the harvest in the fields, she had to take care of the food for so many people and so many livestock by herself.
Old Mrs. Chen gave her a reproachful look and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, kid? Grandma doesn't have to work hard. I'm so happy now. I have so much energy. This doesn't count as hardship at all."
"After this period, in addition to building a new house, I will buy gold jewelry for everyone in the family." Qing Ning's bold words made everyone smile.
"Okay, then we'll wait for Dai Jin." Tan said with a smile.
"Don't be partial. Don't forget about father and brothers. You can't favor one over the other. I'll go find my second uncle first." After Chen Changjiang finished joking, he went out to his second grandfather's house.
Everyone talked for a while, then washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, the brothers and sisters went to school early. As Nong Mang had been busy recently, his daily classes ended an hour earlier.
When I got home, Manager Xu had already sent the dim sum chefs over. Chen Wuyi had already cleaned up the mushroom room and asked them to tidy up briefly.
Qingke led the people away. Chen Ming and Chen Fu had already bought everything yesterday afternoon, and they also started working busy.
Chen Wuyi showed Qing Ning the list of people who had signed up for work. He had already screened those who had signed up yesterday in the morning, and this was the list he kept.
Qing Ning looked at the list in her hand. There were still about twenty people to be retained, and their strengths, weaknesses and suitable jobs were noted. She felt even more admiration for Chen Wuyi.
"Uncle Wu Yi, you've done a great job on this detailed explanation. I won't be looking at these people anymore. I trust Uncle Wu Yi. You decide where to place them. The contract will be signed for three months first. If everything goes well within three months, we can retain them long-term. If there are any problems, we can reject them and pay them according to the actual wages."
Chen Wuyi was surprised and happy. Qingning trusted him so much. Hiring people was a big matter, so she entrusted it to him with confidence.
"Qing Ning, do you want to take another look?" He felt a little nervous.
"No, from now on, except for those in charge or those who come into contact with confidential matters, I will review everything else. You will be responsible for everything else, but of course I will also conduct regular assessments." This is the restraint of delegation. Some things cannot be done personally, it will be exhausting. If the subordinates can stand up, it will save a lot of effort.
"Okay, don't worry, I will guard the first door and will not allow any scum to sneak in." Chen Wuyi's eyes were firm.
