There was a scene of hot water rising to the sky at the construction site. For Xiahe Village, the matter was neither trivial nor serious.
Although Xiahe Village is a little richer than other villages because it is where the Yue family gathers and there is a member of the same family who is an official in Kyoto, there has never been a workshop built in the village.
It has to be said that it is a great good thing for stimulating the surplus labor force in the village.
Previously, Qiao Mingjin mobilized the whole village to dig wooden stakes in the forest, which enabled many families in the village to obtain surplus manpower, earn a lot of wages, and make a lot of money for their families. This even alarmed the clan leaders.
I went to Qiao's house and chatted with Qiao Ming several times, and even asked his daughter-in-law to send vegetables twice.
This matter was so serious that even the big bosses in the city were alarmed.
The clan leader and several clan elders hurriedly found Zhou Yanqing, thanked him, and expressed their gratitude. He asked him to open the workshop in Xiahe Village boldly and confidently. He and several clan elders watched.
No one will come up with any tricks. They will also ask people implicitly if they want to open a second store or something.
Zhou Yanqing is also a smart man. He has been familiar with the business field since he was a child, so he naturally knows the meaning of several clan leaders.
He said with sincerity: "Qing Yan has thanked the clan leader and several clan elders here. Qing Yan has borrowed your land, and I will rely on your help in the future. After all, I may not be able to come here to take care of you all the time. Now
I heard in Hecun that Zhong Lingyuxiu has raised people of the Yue clan for several generations. In the future, I might be able to borrow money from the Yue clan for my workshop."
When the patriarch heard this, he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face almost turned into a flower.
He said very happily: "As long as Mr. Saturday needs it, feel free to use it. In the future, I also hope that Mr. Saturday will give you more support if he likes any of the younger members of my in-laws' family."
"Definitely..."
Everyone was chatting happily.
Zhou Yanqing couldn't resist Patriarch Yue's enthusiasm and agreed to have lunch at his house later. Several clan elders couldn't get anyone, so after some discussion, they all had to go to the patriarch's house to eat.
Although this is the first time Mr. Liu and the others have interacted with each other this time, the Zhou family in Qingchuan County is like thunder to their ears.
That is one of the most wealthy families in Qingchuan County. Half of the shops and restaurants in Qingchuan County are owned by the Zhou family. It can be said that the Zhou family accounts for half of the say in Qingchuan County. Even the county magistrate has to avoid three-thirds of the wealthy families, who are like local snakes.
Nor are they ignorant.
The clan leader and several elders were very happy to invite the God of Wealth of the Zhou family to Xiahe Village. Le Zizi accompanied him at the construction site, and he was not afraid of the noise and the debris flying around.
And with the clan leaders and several people supervising the work, the work on the construction site naturally went smoothly.
Originally, there were some people who were waiting to earn a living by digging wooden piles in the mountains. They couldn't bear the hardships and got this easy job of working on the construction site. They thought it wouldn't be as strenuous as digging wooden piles.
I didn't expect so many people to be watching! I didn't even dare to stand up and give him a slap, let alone make a joke.
Offending Lord Saturday is a small matter, but offending the clan leader is a big deal. Maybe I really can’t stay in Xiahe Village here.
There was unprecedented enthusiasm on the construction site, and some people shouted slogans.
The clan leader and others accompanied Zhou Yanqing and looked on with a smile. He was very proud: "Sixth Master, look, I think all of us in Xiahe Village are capable people. It's because of your good taste that you made the choice.
Let’s go to Hecun.”
Zhou Yanqing's mouth twitched. If you have money, why don't you push around?
But he kept nodding in agreement, looking very much in agreement. He rolled his eyes around. Hey, where did that woman go?
That woman, of course, refers to Qiao Mingjin.
As a partner in the partnership, this workshop is naturally regarded as Qiao Mingjin's anticipated project. She naturally wants to watch it at the construction site.
It's just that Wan'er has been following her since she woke up, not leaving even an inch. She didn't even want to hug Ming Qi. She just grabbed her mother's dress and followed her step by step, for fear that her mother would be unhappy and send her to her grandmother's house.
Went.
Qiao Mingjin saw that her daughter was a little hesitant today, so she didn't force her to do it. She just let her follow if she wanted to. Just when she thought of something, she would send Min Qi to do it or pass a message for her.
She was dragging a Wan'er, and in order to prevent her daughter from being exposed to the sun, she had to drag her to hide in a shady place and stand and watch from a distance.
Naturally, she also saw Yue Zhongyao.
Seeing him carrying a hoe and following a few young people from the village, hoeing the ground. Yue Zhongyao looked at her secretly, and she naturally felt it. But she did not respond.
Of course she also knew that Wan'er had also seen her father. At first, when Wan'er saw her father, she took a step forward naturally, wanting to walk towards her father.
But Qiao Mingjin just watched her take a few steps, and then twisted around and ran back to Qiao Mingjin. She pouted and looked unhappy, lying down beside Qiao Mingjin's thigh.
Yue Zhongyao was naturally happy to see his daughter getting close to him. When he saw his daughter walking towards him, he happily greeted him. However, he soon saw his daughter turn around and lie back on her mother.
Only a small silhouette was left facing him.
Yue Zhongyao felt as bitter as a yellow lotus in his heart.
My wife's eyes seemed to be getting colder.
Yue Zhongyao stared blankly at the figures of his wife and daughter for a long time, then turned around and started working again as if his muscles had been ripped away.
Qiao Mingjin only glanced at him and walked away with Wan'er.
She looked around for a while, then went to Zhou Yanqing to discuss the accommodation issue for Master Guan and others.
In this day and age, when you hire someone to do a job, the host must provide lunch. Otherwise, others may give up the meal in the afternoon.
And in this era, unlike the previous life, you could finish your work in the afternoon and go back to your home. Transportation is developed, and you can go back even across cities and provinces. But this era is different.
The people led by Master Guan are a construction team that has been with him for a long time. Among them are carpenters, masons, gardeners, Feng Shui practitioners, designers and painters, and small workers. They are all people from various places.
, they all received a job once and were allowed to go home only after completing the job.
Sometimes, it may take a year and a half or longer. Or it may take as short as a month or two.
Of course, there are also those that are more convenient. For example, some have such masons in nearby villages or even in their own villages. With a few people taking the lead and hiring some small laborers, the work can be done.
Countryside people don't pay much attention to building houses. Only big houses and courtyards in the city need to be designed, drawn, and feng shui checked.
Therefore, people from nearby villages would come here in the morning, stay at the host's house for a meal at noon, and then return from work before sunset.
But the group led by Master Guan was different. They couldn't call it a day and go back after sunset.
That's why Zhou Yanqing told Qiao Mingjin about this matter.
Qiao Mingjin thought that she couldn't live in her own house, so she arranged for them to live with someone in the village who had a spare room. If she gave them some room money, the villagers would be absolutely willing. She just asked the villagers to free up their own room.
, I'm afraid some people are willing to spare it to add something to their family for the sake of money.
Therefore, Qiao Mingjin was not worried at all about the accommodation of these people. Moreover, Zhou Yanqing said before that it would be up to him to solve the problem, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
But Zhou Yanqing listened to her and said, "Master Guan heard that there is a well in your village. People in the village go to the well to bathe, and he finds it very convenient. Now that the weather is hot, he decided
Just set up a few tents on the construction site to take a break. But you have to help with dinner."
Qiao Mingjin was stunned after hearing this.
"Do you want to set up a tent on the construction site? But there is no bed, and there is nothing..."
Zhou Yanqing looked at her and smiled, and said: "It doesn't matter, they are like this. That is, those who are invited to help build houses and renovate hospitals for wealthy families are served with delicious food and drinks. Other times, it is also
They slept wherever they went. In the past two years, Master Guan led them to help build a canal in a county in the north. They didn't even have tents. They all slept on the ground. There were many people sleeping in the wild. As long as we were eating
If you do it more carefully and give more money when settling the settlement, everyone will be happy."
"Then, do you need a lot of money?"
Zhou Yanqing looked at her look with a joking look on his face: "I can't tell, but you still care about money. You are a country woman. You have taken a lot of money from me, right? You are not afraid to carry it with you.
Got robbed!"
Qiao Mingjin glared at him and said: "In your eyes, my little money is not enough for you to reward others. If you want to rob me, you must rob it first. Why are you robbing me from a country woman? Are you out of your mind?"
Zhou Yanqing laughed heartily.
No woman had ever spoken to him like this.
I couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Yue Zhongyao, who watched them coming together from a distance, was not as happy as he was.
He pursed his lips tightly, and his lower lip was almost broken by his bite. The wooden handle of the hoe seemed to have been broken by his force.
Yue Zhongyao couldn't describe how he felt. He felt bitter and astringent in his heart. He was like a drowned traveler who had been floating in the vast sea for several days. The struggle was too painful and he wanted to give up, but there was a trace of unwillingness.
Yue Dalei was afraid that something would happen to him, so he kept working with him and chatting with him from time to time. He fell silent when he saw him, and followed his gaze to look at Qiao Mingjin, and couldn't help but sigh.
.
Who can blame anyone?
At first Yue Zhongyao fell in love with Qiao Mingjin from his wife's village, and secretly went to his house to inquire about his wife. Every day he looked for opportunities to take a stroll, just to ask about Qiao Mingjin's situation from the child's mother...
Later, he finally got what he wanted, and Yue Dalei could see his joy. He could also feel the same.
It could be said that he had seen the union between the two of them from the very beginning. It made him heartbroken to see his good brother in such pain.
But what's wrong with Qiao Mingjin? After guarding him for four years, it was hard to get him back. Oh, well, you are so skillful! You said that your life was saved by others, and the backbone of the family is gone. You
I need help picking it up.
But what should Jin Niang do? Her pillar of support is gone, who will pick it up for her?
Yue Dalei had been with Qiao Mingjin for many days, and he had to know a little bit about her temperament. In principle, she was a very easy-to-talk person, kind and generous, and it was very comfortable to work with her. But if he touched her, he would be very principled.
She won't compromise on the problem.
Yue Dalei glanced at Yue Zhongyao again, he couldn't control this matter. His wife said, whatever the cause is, the result will be the same. Some people just need to be dealt with, so just live with it. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
