Chapter 276 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (27)
Xu Yin returned home and brought a bag of rice and three bags of sweet potatoes.
"Last time, the county magistrate took away the drawings of the waterwheel, and later rewarded me with a few ingots of silver. I will keep the money and help everyone get through the difficulties first."
She explained a few words to Chen Mancang and Shi Feng.
They both sighed with emotion: "Brother Hero, you are so kind."
In these famine years, who among the ordinary people would be willing to share the rewards given by the county magistrate with others? Let alone the food that can save lives.
"As long as you are not really a treacherous and evil person, you should be merciful and merciful! Life in this world is not easy."
Hearing what Xu Yin said, Shi Feng felt complicated.
He almost went astray in the first place, but was kicked awake by Xu Yingxiong.
His parents were also rescued by Xu Yingxiong.
For his family, Xu Yingxiong is their reborn parent.
"Hero brother." He looked at Xu Yin seriously and said, "No matter what you need me to do from now on, all you need is one word!"
"Okay! If I need your help, I will definitely ask."
Fifty pounds of rice and two hundred pounds of sweet potatoes have won over a hundred hearts. Is this a good deal?
Xu Yin never thought that just a barely full meal of porridge with roasted sweet potatoes, plus a bowl of soup for each person to prevent wind and cold, would make so many people wholeheartedly express their willingness to follow her and do things for her.
Although this was not her original intention, she was happy to see such a result. At least the discord between the two groups of disaster-stricken people was resolved.
Xu Yin asked the six young men to divide the victims into six teams, and each of them was responsible for one team.
"You have to build your house as soon as possible. It's going to get cold soon, and it won't rain at any time, so sleeping in the open is not an option. You can slowly open up the wasteland, but if it doesn't work, you can farm the land for me, and I'll pay you when the time comes.
Wages, I don’t need wages but food.”
When they hear this, can they refuse to agree?
"Boss, whatever you say is whatever you say! We listen to you!"
Xu Yin twitched her lips: "I told you not to call me boss, I'm not older than you."
"We recognize you as the boss, not because of your age."
Xu Yin: "..."
I thought that if I change into women's clothes one day, I'd like to see if you guys are still willing to call me that.
The bricks fired from the back mountain can be used to build a row of two or three large houses.
Xu Yin thought that it would rain and cool down that day, so she quickly consulted with Chen Mancang and Shi Feng.
"Brother Hero, do you want to build a big house first for those people to stay?"
"Yes! What do you think? The speed of kiln burning is still too slow. It may take next year to build a brick house for each household. Let's get over the difficulty now. Anyway, the house built will be useful. After they move out,
This big room can be used as a granary."
Chen Mancang and Shi Feng have no objection.
It was an unexpected joy for them to use their own hands to burn green bricks and tiles. If they could build one room, they could build countless rooms. They would be able to live in them sooner or later, so there was no need to rush for this moment.
So, Xu Yin asked Shi Feng to pick up some strong laborers from the victims, and help build the brick houses together, so that they could be built as soon as possible.
The victims who followed Shi Feng to help were stunned.
"Brick, brick house?"
"A place for us to stay?"
"Really?"
"False!" Shi Feng said with an angry look on his face, "Brother Heroes are kind-hearted and are worried that it will rain to cool down the temperature, so I will let you live temporarily. When the rain passes and the weather clears, quickly build your own house and move out. We still have
Other uses!”
"oh oh!"
I see.
That’s incredible!
Let alone live in this life, they will never have the chance to touch bricks or tiles.
I would be satisfied if I could build a big house with these bricks and tiles myself and then move in there, even if it was just to hide from the rain for a day or two!
Everyone was very enthusiastic and worked very efficiently.
Xu Yin was worried that they would sweat while working and catch cold from the cold wind after work, so she would boil a pot of soup to prevent colds every day.
Rice is also a big pot meal.
In front of Erlang, she took out a piece of silver, recorded an account, and said to Erlang:
"My sister-in-law borrowed this ingot from my father-in-law. I will pay it back later when they make money by helping her open a field to grow herbal medicine."
Erlang murmured: "Sister-in-law, you earned this money, you don't have to do this."
"It's necessary. Sister-in-law, this is considered an investment. It doesn't matter if you lose money on the initial investment in any business, but if you keep losing money in the long run, there is no need to do it. So sister-in-law writes this account to see what will happen in a few years.
Lose or gain."
Erlang listened but did not understand everything.
But when it came to Xu Yin going out to buy rice, flour, oil, and salt to help the victims get through the difficult period, she no longer held her chest in pain and jumped around like she did before, objecting.
Xu Yin feels that men should not be too stingy. Although she herself is opposed to the Virgin Mary being unbridled and kind to others, she still has to help when she has the ability.
No, she took out the money to hire the victims to build houses and clear up wasteland, so that they could have food to eat and houses to live in. The victims had hope for life, had hope for their lives, and got along well with everyone.
Not to mention that things like stealing and poaching no longer happen. On the contrary, strong men will still enthusiastically carry firewood and water for those households with insufficient strength; women who work quickly will also help with whatever they can.
thing.
You help me, I help you, the two groups of victims merge into one harmonious family.
The first brick house was built successfully in the eyes of everyone's expectations!
What followed was the first rain after autumn.
From the drizzle of light rain to the rustling moderate rain, the victims huddled in brick and tile houses felt happy and moved.
I'm glad I came here to open up wasteland instead of going to the mountains.
I heard that the victims of land reclamation in the mountains had no time to build houses, so they had to look for caves when it rained. If they couldn't find a cave, they would find a big tree and pull out a few palm leaves to carry them.
I was moved by Xu Yin.
"I will never forget the kindness our heroic brothers showed to our family forever!"
"When I get my own house, I will build an immortal tablet for my benefactor and pray for his happiness and longevity every day."
"I'll build it too!"
"I'll build it too!"
Everyone had this idea, so instead of waiting for the rain to stop building their own houses, they huddled in the big tile-roofed house and cut wood to carve memorial tablets.
After Xu Yin heard about it, she pinched her forehead speechlessly: "Tell them not to do this!"
"Everyone has good intentions. I hope you live a long life and have both happiness and longevity!" Shi Feng thought it was appropriate, and even he himself was engraved.
Xu Yin had no expression on her face: "Go tell them that if anyone carves my immortal tablet again, I will not hire him to do work in the future!"
"..."
so serious?
Shi Feng hurriedly ran home, hid the half-engraved longevity tablet under the bedside quilt, and then went to the big tiled house to tell those people.
After hearing this, everyone was puzzled: "My benefactor doesn't like the longevity tablet? What do you like about it?"
"Just do the work assigned to you by your benefactor!" Shi Feng looked annoyed.
