Xiaofeng had originally thought only his little aunt would come over to do odd jobs, but to his surprise, his little uncle also wanted to come.
"I told him not to go to the mine anymore; it's too dangerous," his little aunt said with a smile. "Besides, with both of us coming over, we can make thirty yuan a day, which adds up to at least six or seven hundred yuan a month, not much less than at the mine." There are thirty days in a month, but it's impossible to have work and earn wages every day.
Even if the couple could only get wages for twenty days a month, that would still amount to six hundred yuan, and what was key was that they could take care of the kids and still tend to some of the farm work at home.
"With Wentao and his wife willing to come over, the manpower will be just enough," He Ximei had initially planned to hire three people, but with Wentao and his wife willing, two were almost sufficient.
