Li Mudi is a mason and a great worker.

The so-called big craftsman is a craftsman who can hold a masonry knife and knock bricks, which is different from a small craftsman who can only hold bricks and throw tiles.

At any time, the wages of large-scale workers are basically about two or three times that of small-time workers.

In this era, wages were generally quite low. A senior worker could earn about five yuan a day, while a small worker could earn more than one yuan and less than two yuan.

If multiplied by thirty days, it seems to sound pretty good.

But in fact, the work of masons does not happen every day. They often work for a few days and then stop for a few days. It is not possible to do it when it is windy or rainy, or during the busy farming season.

After finishing the work, I won’t be able to get my wages back for a while, but compared to farming, it’s just an extra skill to make money.

Song Yang came to Li Mudi's house, and Li Mudi was pooping.

It seems that Chi County has "Chi" in its name, so it seems that there is no shortage of water, but in fact, as long as it is located on the Loess Plateau, there is no place where there is no shortage of water.

Therefore, the common people's toilets in Chi County are dry toilets.

The disadvantage is that during the hot season, the toilet smells so strong that no one can enter.

The advantage is that it can be fertile.

In this era, most people don’t have much money to buy fertilizer. Farming and fertilizing mainly rely on artificial manure. Manure is a very important farming material.

If a family has a small population, it will produce less fertilizer, and the fields will have no harvest due to insufficient fertilizer.

When walking on the road, you will find that every toilet is outside the gate and close to the roadside. Why? Of course, I am not so kind as to solve the problem for passers-by. I hope that if pedestrians have some water, there is no need to take it home and just take it home.

Just stay here.

A lot of them passed by my door, leaving behind the smell of road fertilizer.

The second brother Li Mudi is a short man, no more than 1.65 meters tall at most, and he is very thin and looks dry.

In his last life, his second brother died early. Every time Li Muyang recalled his appearance, he would easily think of ants.

The second brother's appearance and figure are just like an ant.

Black and thin, black and thin.

Not everyone in the Li family is short. For example, the eldest brother Li Mutian is over 1.80 meters tall, and the two younger brothers are also 1.75 meters tall.

Li Muyang is not tall. He is only 1.72 meters without his shoes. He is the shorter one among the brothers.

He and his second brother are both shorter because when they were growing up, they encountered the most difficult years. They were always hungry and their bodies were not developed.

I am lucky to be alive.

Although Li Mudi is short in stature, he is quite powerful.

A rack of car manure weighs at least three to four hundred kilograms, and he can pull it alone, as if he has unlimited power in his body.

He had just pulled the manure to the edge of the property and dumped it when he saw Li Muyang coming. He was a little surprised and suddenly became nervous again.

"Lao Wu, what are you doing here? Did something happen to my mother again?"

Li Muyang smiled and said, "Mother is fine. Second brother, where is my second sister-in-law?"

"I went to my parents' house, saying that a cousin of mine was getting engaged or something. I was away from home every day, so I just sent money to my parents' house. Sooner or later, this family would be completely ruined by her!"

What Li Mudi means is that his wife is going to give gifts to others again.

People here call the courtesy exchanges for weddings and funerals "Qingqing". Qingqing not only has to carry steamed buns, but also some money and so on. Although it is not much, it can't stand up to the many relatives.

These days, no one has a lot of relatives.

There are seven aunts and eight aunts. After two or three generations, there will be countless relatives.

Take the Li family as an example. They have nine brothers and sisters. Nine means nine families. Then any child of the next generation of their nine families will have nine relatives from the previous generation and dozens of relatives from the same generation when they are born.

This is just for the father or mother. If the other family also has so many brothers and sisters, the number of relatives will double, maybe more than a hundred.

If peers get married and have children, this number will increase horribly.

So in this era, people in the village eat on flowing water mats during weddings and funerals, which is really like running water.

Otherwise, people won’t be able to arrange it at all.

If every family has something to do with red envelopes, such as when a child is one month old or one year old, if you don't refuse selectively, giving gifts can really make people poor.

Don't listen to Li Mu's loud screams. In fact, it is Li Muyang who suffers the most from the Li family.

He is not married, and naturally has no children. He will not be able to get back the money he spent for a while, so it is purely a one-sided payment.

Now, hearing that his second sister-in-law is not here, Li Muyang is slightly worried.

He wanted to go out and dig Cordyceps, but with his mother like this, it was definitely not possible to leave her alone at home.

For a moment, my face was filled with sorrow.

Seeing him like this, Li Mudi asked in confusion: "Why are you drooping your face? What do you want from your sister-in-law?"

"I originally wanted to ask my second sister-in-law to help me look at my house. I heard that there are cordyceps in Xishan, and I wanted to try my luck to see if I could dig some up."

Li Muyang said it very euphemistically. In fact, he was not completely sure that what happened in his previous life would happen again in this life.

But regarding the Cordyceps sinensis, he didn’t want to hide it from his brother.

The second brother is a bit stingy, but in fact, he is not a bad person. Basically, the children of the Li family, including the wife and son-in-law, are not particularly bad people. There are at most a few who like to take advantage and be selfish.
p>

Li Muyang has experienced everything in his previous life and knows everyone's true character. He does not want to hold them to the standards of a saint.

After all, everyone is poor.

Later, when life got better, everyone's relationship became very good. Originally, he was a selfish person, but because supplies were no longer in short supply, everyone became better.

Li Muyang hopes that everything will be prosperous for his family.

Everyone is living a richer life and everyone is happy.

Intrigue and other intrigues are meaningless and will only aggravate internal strife in the family. In the end, everyone will be defeated and there will be no winner.

When he knows the news about Cordyceps, he will not hide it and will tell these brothers directly. As for whether they believe it or not, or whether they are willing to do it, that is a matter of their choice.

"What is Cordyceps?"

Li Mudi sat down on the carriage shaft, took out a stack of paper cut into thin strips from his coat pocket, and took out a small tobacco bag containing shredded tobacco from his coat pocket. He folded the strips into a trench and poured some tobacco leaves into it.
p>

He carefully and slowly rolled up the tobacco, then spit into the palm of his hand, slowly rolled the paper into a cigarette, pinched off the paper rope on the tail, held the cigarette in his mouth, and used three matches in a row before lighting it.

.

"Hoo~"

After taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled the cigarette from his mouth, looking very satisfied.

This cigarette rolling craft is a basic skill for people in Qingyang. Buying finished cigarettes is too expensive and they are reluctant to part with it.

Even the cheapest "Jade Rabbit" and Peony are only a few cents. With that money, you can cut more than a pound of tofu. If you buy finished cigarettes, light them and burn them, you will risk everything.<
