Chapter 664 Want to Live in a House
Fangzheng said: "It's okay, they ate too much, they have nothing to do, and they are overwhelmed. By the way, Song Benefactor, how many places like this are in the village?"
Song Ergou was stunned for a moment, Fangzheng asked why?
At this moment, Wang Yougui slapped his thigh and jumped up, and said with a smile: "Haha... Song Ergou, you can be of help. The puddle you mentioned is an old river channel, and it is more than one meter high and low. High, the machine can’t get in. But that paddy field is not small, and if I remember correctly, almost every village in our villages has similar plots, right?”
Song Ergou scratched his head and said, "Ah... yes... why... oh, I'll go! Isn't this a job!"
Fangzheng and Wang Yougui laughed at the same time.
The people in One Finger Village are definitely not lazy. Normally, everyone can do these so-called tasks by themselves, but it's different now. All the men, women and children in the village, as long as they are free, are basically practicing bamboo carving skills. At least one person in every family is learning this. After all, there are many cold bamboos, and they are inexhaustible. They do not damage the natural environment and make money. Nothing is better than this...
Now, with the help of Monkey, Fatty and Jing Yulong, Yizhi Village has gradually gained fame. Regardless of whether tourists come or not, merchants will come to buy them. According to the quality of the carvings, they are divided into three or six grades, and the prices given are also high and low. However, no matter what, it’s a thing for practice, and if you don’t sell it, you throw it away. Naturally, everyone is willing to spend more time carving, making money first, and practicing craftsmanship second.
Therefore, if there is time to harvest the rice in the river beach, it is better to carve more good objects and sell them.
As for the former acquaintance Mai Ke, they all come from several nearby villages. Now that everyone's life is getting better and better, there are really not many people who are willing to come out to work. Most of them are friendly help, earn some cigarettes and alcohol money, and have fun. so……
Wang Yougui got up immediately, caught up with Zhou Zishan and the others, and when he told the situation, they immediately burst into tears of gratitude and thanked them repeatedly.
"Don't thank us in a hurry, let's go to the field to have a look first. The silt in the river is quite thick, so it's not easy to get started." Wang Yougui said.
Zhou Zishan and the others had no objection: "It's okay, as long as there is work."
Fangzheng looked at Zhou Zishan and the others, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Last year, Fangzheng was so poor that he could hardly eat, but this year he no longer has to worry about eating. Fangzheng suddenly had an idea, if one day he could help the world, how great a merit would it be? But Fangzheng just thought about it, helping the world? How difficult? That is definitely not something that can be achieved with money and power. People are poor and suffer. Only a small number of people are due to reality, natural disasters, and diseases. Most of the time, they are spiritually poor. A lazy man whose mud can't support a wall, a bad gambler, no matter how much money you give him, what's the use? On the contrary, not only are there no benefits, but there are also disadvantages.
After thinking about it, everyone has already left the village and came to the river. Sure enough, as Wang Yougui said, the river is very muddy, and when you step on it, there is a deep mud print. With a shallow foot, walking is very strenuous.
But Zhou Zishan and the others didn't mind. On the contrary, their eyes were shining like a young man seeing a bride.
Zhou Zishan said: "Village chief, we can do this job!"
Wang Yougui said: "As long as you are willing to do it, I will go to the owner of this place and tell you that it is absolutely no problem to entrust this job to you. As for the price, I have to discuss it with them."
"Village chief, you are a good person. We will talk about the money at that time. Let's work first." Zhou Zishan said with a smile.
Zhou Ziyuan also smiled and said: "I haven't worked for a long time, and I can finally shake off my arms and work. Brother, I'll go down and try first..."
While speaking, Zhou Zishan put down the big salute scroll behind his back, walked into the river with a sickle in his hand, and his ankles were all wiped out by the mud when he stepped down. Not only did Zhou Zishan not dislike it, he laughed instead: "Hey, the mud is quite deep..."
When Wang Yougui heard this, he didn't even ask the price, and went to work first, and he was stunned. In a daze, Zhou Ziheng also jumped into the mud, followed Zhou Zishan and rushed towards the paddy field waving a sickle, and smiled as he walked: "Second brother, let's see who is faster! I'll take over this land!"
"Compare you to me, kid? I'll let you have an acre of land!" Zhou Ziyuan laughed.
"Come, come, who is afraid of whom!" Zhou Ziheng had already bent over to work while speaking.
Seeing this, Wang Yougui had nothing to say, and hurried back to the village to find the owner of the land to negotiate the price.
Before leaving, Fangzheng asked: "Benefactor Wang, how much are you going to give for this price?"
Wang Yougui thought for a while and said: "Usually we have 70 per mu of land, but the price has increased in the past two years, and the 100 will come to an end. Now our village is not short of this money, and those guys are also running farmhouses. Earn...these are poor people, just give more, one hundred per person and one mu of land."
Fangzheng didn't know much about the market, but Fangzheng believed in Wang Yougui's character and ability. He said that one mu of land was one hundred, so it must be no problem. He still had this prestige.
As soon as Wang Yougui left, Fangzheng looked back, and saw that Shen Ai's family and second sister-in-law Ma Jingru didn't dislike the dirt on the ground, they quickly cut off the messy weeds, moved them away, and made an open space. The quilt was tucked in and spread flat. The pots, pans, and kettles are all put away, so that the two little guys can stay and rest in it, or sleep.
Fangzheng walked over and asked, "Two benefactors, who are you?"
Shen Ai's family blushed slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's getting late, the river is so big, it's muddy and difficult to walk, I'm afraid we won't be able to collect it all today. We will stay here tonight, and we will continue at dawn tomorrow, two days Almost all of them can be collected.”
Fangzheng was taken aback, live here? Living in this kind of place in the wilderness?
Now there is cold dew, the Northeast is not as cold as North China, and North China is only beginning to get colder. Once the cold dew is over in the Northeast, once a cold wind blows, the ground will even be covered with frost. It is not so cold that a tent can withstand it.
Fangzheng clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, you don't need to do this. There are many places to live in One Finger Village..."
"Master, no need. We are dirty, so we won't live here. It's good for us to live here. We've come here all the way, and it's convenient to work." Zhou Jingru shook her head like a rattle, although her eyes In the depths, there is also a little longing for a big house, but after glancing at the fields in the distance, and the three brothers who are wielding sickles and working hard to harvest rice, they finally say this.
At this moment, the little girl pulled Zhou Jingru's clothes and said, "Second Aunt, I want to live in a clean house...it's cold here."
Snapped!
Shen Aijia next to her raised her hand and slapped the little girl.
