After a while, the old village chief came to his senses, smiled bitterly, and handed the tea to Zhou Huayang.
"Huayang, why do you have such thoughts?"
"Renovating the Earth Temple is a thankless task. Few people go to Liushen Mountain now. The road is difficult and steep, and even a tricycle cannot enter. To ask the gods to worship Buddha, the villagers go to temples near Ningyu County."
The old village chief immediately pointed out the difficulty. What made him even more curious was how Zhou Huayang had such an idea.
Zhou Huayang naturally couldn't tell him the truth, so he chuckled and said: "The Willow God protects Liusheng Village. The legend of the Willow God has been passed down from generation to generation in our village. But I don't know when the Tutu Temple collapsed and no villagers went to worship.
, our village is getting poorer and poorer."
"I wonder if there is any connection between the two."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of the old village chief's mouth twitched. Is this what a highly educated college student said?
"Village Chief, please don't worry so much. I will be responsible for all expenses." Zhou Huayang directly stated his plan before he could continue to refute, "You can find ten villagers for me, one hundred and fifty yuan a day."
"a hundred and fifty yuan!"
When he heard the reward, the old village chief's complaints disappeared, and his eyes were filled with shock.
"There is also a carpenter. I heard that Uncle Li at the entrance of the village is a good carpenter."
"At the moment, the work is not difficult, it is just a small renovation, probably cleaning, repairing, and repainting and decorating."
Zhou Huayang said about his plan. Considering the road condition of Liushen Mountain, it was unrealistic for him to tear down and rebuild everything and expand the scale.
By the time Zhou Huayang returned home, the news that he was going to renovate the Tutu Temple had spread.
"Huayang, are you crazy? What does it have to do with you whether the Tutu Temple is renovated or not?" Zhou Tiezhu and his wife were very angry.
"It's not that we want to contract the land. Who asked you to take care of the affairs of the Earth Temple? Is it because you have too much money?"
Zhao Hexiu pretended to step forward and pinch Zhou Huayang's ears.
"No, Mom, this doesn't cost much. Including food expenses, it only costs eighty or ninety thousand at most." Zhou Huayang quickly stepped back and said with a smile: "Isn't this for everyone's convenience? Think about it,
From now on, if you want to worship Buddha and offer incense, you can go directly to Tutu Temple. It is more convenient than going to Ningyu County."
As for contracting the land, he hasn't mentioned it to the village chief yet. He has a lot of things at hand right now and plans to talk about it in two days.
"Three to fifty thousand...how much savings do you have now?" Zhao Hexiu glared with her hands on her hips.
"Well, it's only three to ten million." Zhou Huayang slapped his head and forgot to tell his parents about this.
"More than three million!"
Suddenly, the couple was dumbfounded. As expected, they did not ask any more questions about the Earth Temple, but instead asked in disbelief, "Where did you get so much money?"
Zhou Huayang told the story of the future.
The couple was completely silent.
"Oh, forget it, it's nothing to spend thirty to fifty thousand on renovations. Maybe God Liu will bless you after seeing your sincerity." Zhou Tiezhu waved his hand.
…
At noon, in front of the village chief’s house.
All the villagers were whispering to each other.
"Village chief, did you lie to us, one hundred and fifty yuan a day?" An aunt couldn't help but ask, this is the first time someone in their village has been so generous. In the past, whoever built a house would only be paid eighty or ninety yuan at most.
It only lasts a day, and there are still many people rushing to do it.
"What did I lie to you about? If you're afraid of being cheated, go back. There are plenty of people who can work in the village."
The old village chief rolled his eyes at her.
"No, I just feel like I'm dreaming. Of course I believe you." The aunt sneered and retreated into the crowd.
"Huayang is really promising. He sold medicinal materials for hundreds of thousands not long ago. Are you renovating the Tu Tu Temple now to thank the Tu Tu God for his blessing?"
"After making a lot of money, renovating the earth temple is not as practical as helping the village build roads."
"Building roads? Do you know how much it costs to build roads? Can it be solved by hundreds of thousands?"
The villagers were talking a lot.
The old village chief ignored them and sat on a stool in the corner, waiting for Zhou Huayang to come over.
After a while, Zhou Huayang arrived at the village chief's house, along with Xiaoxue, Ah Da and several other pets.
Xu Qing followed Zhou Huayang. He heard that the salary was quite high, so he was so shameless that Zhou Huayang insisted on recruiting him.
The villagers' discussion stopped abruptly and they stared at Zhou Huayang with burning eyes.
"Now let's go up the mountain and do some preliminary cleaning for the Earth Temple. Hmm... It's half a day's work, so it's a hundred yuan." Zhou Huayang thought about it, but he didn't be stingy with the money.
Upon hearing this arrangement, the villagers couldn't hide their joy.
"Old village chief, you should go too. You know a lot. I can't do this without you."
Zhou Huayang forced the old village chief to climb a mountain.
It was already more than an hour later when we arrived at the mountain temple.
"Huayang hired you to do some work. If anyone is lazy, you won't be here tomorrow." The old village chief glanced around and looked at Xu Qing emphatically. Xu Qing was the oldest in the group.
"Of course, we will do our best."
"Have you ever felt that the statue of the Earth God has changed?" Someone noticed the shrine.
"Um, why do I feel a bit similar to Zhou Huayang?"
"Stop talking nonsense. It's been a long time since you came to the Tutu Temple. Get to work quickly. Dabang, you and Huzi go to the east mountain stream to fetch water. Pay attention to safety." The old village chief was a little impatient, thinking that they were trying to be lazy.
The village chief is responsible for supervising the Tutu Temple, so Zhou Huayang is not worried about any accidents.
He took Xiaoxue, Pangdun'er and the others towards the forest.
The White Wolf King took a group of his brothers and poked their heads in the forest. He wanted to rush out directly to find Zhou Huayang, but Zhou Huayang had told him not to scare the villagers.
Among the wolves, there was also the carcass of a wild goat lying.
Nothing happened, so he led the White Wolf King and his gang around the forest, looking for herbs.
At night, I carried the wild goat carcass down the mountain.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Zhou Huayang casually threw the wild goat to the ground.
"Hey, why did you get another wild goat?" Zhou Tiezhu and his wife walked out of the house, and the wild goat attracted their attention.
Zhou Huayang was about to answer when his smile disappeared.
Zhao Fengzhu and Wei Qingqing stuck their heads out, and their son Zhao He looked friendly and cheerful.
"Just in time, brother, please help Tie Zhu to deal with this wild goat. Let's have mutton hot pot tonight." Zhao Hexiu winked at Zhao Fengzhu and others.
"Oh, good..." Zhao Fengzhu's family nodded quickly.
Do they really know how to kill sheep? Zhou Huayang was full of criticism.
"Huayang, your grandpa is here. He has been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Hexiu waved to him.
"Grandpa..." Zhou Huayang sighed, his uncle and the others even invited grandpa.
I'm afraid it won't be possible if I don't help.
Reluctantly, he followed into the house.
In the living room, there was a plainly dressed old man, with a straight back, sitting upright, and his eyes were alert.
It was Zhou Huayang's grandfather, Zhao Wujing.
"Hua Yang, are you back?" Zhao Wujing looked gentle.
"Grandpa."
Zhou Huayang was polite to Zhao Fengzhu, but he did not dare to neglect his grandfather and bowed politely.
