"Sister Village Chief, why are you looking at me like that?" Li Erdan asked a little bit.
"I really didn't realize that you have the demeanor of a general? What you said just now is quite good. Do a good job, young man. I'm optimistic about you, sister." Ji Xinyu finished speaking in an old-fashioned way, and patted Li Erdan gently.
shoulder, turned around and walked into the village committee.
Holy shit! What does this little girl mean? Is she praising me?
Although Ji Xinyu looks old and arrogant, calling him Li Erdan sounds awkward, but it is always a happy thing to be praised.
Li Erdan was in a happier mood, whistling, and walked straight to the embankment of the river with figure-eight steps. He said
It was a coincidence that just a few steps out of the village committee, I saw Mr. Xie with a cigarette pipe in his mouth.
"Isn't this Old Uncle? Old Uncle is very leisurely." Li Erdan said with a sneer. "
Humph! I’m so damn frustrated, how could I meet you, a loser, when I go out?” Xie Laoji snorted with an unhappy look on his face.
"Old Uncle, you see what you said. By the way, Old Uncle, I forgot to tell you something. Originally, I wanted to contract your fish pond for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year, but Old Uncle
, you treat your broken fish pond as if it were a treasure, and refuse to take over my contract, leaving me with no choice. What do you think I should do?
Finally, there is no sure way, so I came up with the idea of digging fish ponds manually. I made a rough estimate and found that the cost is much cheaper than renting your fish pond. I would like to thank you, old uncle, for that.
"Li Erdan said with a smile."
Li Erdan, you..." Li Erdan made it clear that he was angry with Xie Laoji. His teeth immediately itched with anger, and he was so angry that he was trembling and speechless.
Seeing that Mr. Xie was so angry with him, Li Erdan clasped his hands behind his back, whistling, and walked straight to the river embankment. "
Li Erdan, you little bastard, just keep squeaking, let’s see how long you can be proud of yourself.” Looking at Li Erdan’s back, Mr. Xie cursed angrily and turned around to go home.
, I’m not in the mood for a walk anymore. Li
The treatment here in Erdan is generous, and the enthusiasm of the villagers is very high. In a short time, all the strong men in the village gathered in the wasteland of the river embankment, and everyone was carrying a guy in their hands.
As for Li Erdan, since he came up with the idea of artificially mining the pond, he has been wandering around the river embankment several times. He had already planned it in his mind. When he saw everyone coming, he immediately started assigning tasks. This
The next time, Li Erdan planned to mine two fish ponds first. Although the wasteland contracted was very large, it would be more than enough to develop five or ten fish ponds. However, the mysterious liquid in the good gourd was not inexhaustible.
For the time being, we can only mine two fish ponds first. When we find a way to make the mysterious liquid grow rapidly, we can mine more water.
The size, depth, and location of the pond were all explained clearly to Li Erdan, so there was no need for Li Erdan to do the work himself. He sat high up on the embankment, holding a blade of grass in his mouth, watching the villagers work.
live.and
At this moment, a plump figure caught Li Erdan's attention. "
Director Li?" Just
Not far away, a beautiful woman with a delicate appearance walked over, carrying a handful of iron fibers on her shoulders. Although she was dressed very simply, her figure was not full, which immediately attracted the attention of these strong men in the village.
Her name is Li Hongxia, she is the female director of the village and one of the most miserable women in the village.
Li Hongxia was only nineteen years old when she married into Nao'ao Village. Her husband was a well-known honest man in the village. He was not afraid of hardship, was capable, did not worry about smoking and drinking, and did not have any bad habits.
After marriage, the two lived a relatively happy life, but they did not expect that one year after their marriage, Li Hongxia's husband died in an accident while going out to work. At that time, Li Hongxia happened to be pregnant.
For Li Hongxia, the nightmare has just begun. Her husband
When she was married, her depressed father-in-law and mother-in-law all fell ill. Li Hongxia, a pregnant woman, still took care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The inability to keep up with the nutrition and the hard work during pregnancy and childbirth caused this miserable woman's greatest misfortune. When Li Hongxia gave birth, although the child was born, he was born to be a stupid boy.
For so many years, this miserable woman took care of her seriously ill in-laws while taking care of her stupid son.
While Li Erdan was stunned, Li Hongxia had already walked to Li Erdan's side."
Director Li, what are you doing here?" Li Erdan asked.
"Erdan, you don't need anyone here anymore? I want to work too. Erdan, I know this kind of physical work is too much for me as a woman, but you can pay me less and just use me to do the work." Li Hongxia said with a look on her face.
Say expectantly. Follow
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away in recent years. Li Hongxia's burden has gradually lightened, and she has focused entirely on her silly son. Li Hongxia has always wanted to save money so that she can treat her son in a big city in the future. Li Hongxia requested
It’s not that high, just that my stupid son can have the intelligence of a teenager and be able to take care of himself in the future.”
Director Li, you want to work here?" Li Erdan was stunned.
The location where Li Erdan dug the pond was located in a depression, with rainwater still remaining in it, and the bottom was covered with thick mud. It can be said that the work of digging this pond was dirty and tiring, and even the most physically weak old men could not bear it.
, a woman simply cannot do such a job."
Erdan, don’t look at me as a woman, I still have a lot of strength, why don’t I go down and do it right now to show you, if you think I can do it, just keep me.” Seeing Li Erdan’s expression, Li Hongxia
Thinking that Li Erdan wouldn't be able to use his own, there was a trace of anxiety on his face, and he put down the iron fiber and went to work.
"Director Li, how can this be done?" Li Erdan hurriedly grabbed Li Hongxia. "
Erdan, Hongxia is a hard-working woman. If that doesn't work, just ask her to come down and work with us. We, the old men, can't make a woman tired and ask her to do some easy work."
"Yes, Li Erdan, sister-in-law Hongxia is having a hard time, so we have to give her less salary."
The villagers who had gone to work immediately began to help Li Hongxia plead for mercy, while Li Hongxia's beautiful eyes stared at Li Erdan expectantly.
Such pitiful eyes made Li Erdan feel a little heartbroken. How could God be so unfair to such a beautiful woman? Li Erdan
After Erdan cursed secretly in his mind, he looked at Li Hongxia with a serious expression and said. "
Sister Hongxia, this kind of physical work is not something you, a woman, can do. I can’t ask you to go down and work with them.” Listen.
After hearing Li Erdan's words, Li Hongxia's pretty face suddenly showed an extremely disappointed expression.
The villagers working below all had dissatisfied expressions on their faces."
This Li Erdan is too unkind."
"Hey! Don't say that to Erdan. People's money doesn't come from strong winds. Asking a woman to do such tiring physical work is obviously a loss-making business."
At this time, Li Hongxia, who looked disappointed, put the iron fiber on her body again, turned around and walked slowly towards the road back to the village with heavy steps.
