"Well, I know that. Before I left, the master specifically told me to build a road in the village in the coming spring."
If you want to be rich, build more roads, have more children and plant more trees.
The main road in the village is made of loess, which becomes muddy every rainy season. Li Hui is not just a scholar, but he has to do something practical for the village after he is elected as a scholar.
There is no requirement in this regard, it all depends on consciousness.
The two discussed and discussed, and finally decided to build the road. They built it from the west of the village to the entrance of the village, bordering the official road. They placed a stone table and a few stone benches under the willow tree at the head of the village, and asked Dong Bin to build the road.
Two rows of wooden benches make it easier for villagers to chat.
Li Zhong frowned after listening to what she said, and silently calculated the prices of these things in his mind. Although there is no need to spend money on manpower, buying materials and other things is not cheap.
It’s estimated that if it’s all gone, my half-year salary will be gone.
"...But the road construction is not urgent for the time being, and will be decided in the spring of next year. Now it takes five days to ship out a thousand kilograms of goods, and there is not enough manpower and not enough space."
Li Zhong came back to his senses after hearing this, raised his hands and suggested:
"Madam, I think we can get Ma Kuo back. Moving pine nuts and hazelnuts is a laborious job. Mingzi and the others can move them once or twice, but it is too much to handle. As for the manpower, I will find it in the village. I know the basics, so I can rest assured."
Manager Chen just warned me not to leak the method."
Cheng Xue chuckled upon hearing this, shook her head, and said:
"It's impossible to keep it secret. Even if we manage to keep it secret, people can figure it out by themselves. It's just a matter of time. As for Ma Kuo... he can do it, he's capable, and he's diligent. You go to Beiweizi to find him and let him know.
Find three more people. Just like last time, they will pay five cents a day, take care of food and housing, and live in your house."
"Okay, the little guy will set up a car and pick up the person right now." After Li Zhong said that, he went out.
Cheng Xue didn't stay any longer. When he went out to organize the place, Gastrodia elata and Tiandong were taken away. He didn't want to take Gastrodia elata with him at first, but Li Hui felt that the opportunity was rare and had to take him out to see the world and learn kung fu from Wen Tian. Li Zhong
The couple has no objection to this at all. After all, it is a great honor to be appreciated by the host family.
She had already thought of the place, and it was Li Fang's house. It was very large and unoccupied, and the house had been renovated a few years ago, so it would be best to use it.
Pushing the door into the hospital, Mrs. Qi heard the sound and came out. She saw that she was busy hiding out. I really can't blame her. After a month of acupuncture, she was really afraid of Cheng Xue. And I took her to the fields that day, and now I want to
I feel a chill on my back.
When Jiang Jianye saw this, he smiled awkwardly and said:
"Don't blame her, she's afraid of you. Girl, drink water."
"Thank you, uncle." Cheng Xue took it and took a sip, chatting about everyday things, "Uncle, how is brother Lihong's marriage, has it been decided yet?"
Jiang Liqiang is already engaged to the sister of the Chang family, and the wedding is scheduled for the 20th of next month.
"It's decided, she is the sister of Li Qingliu from your tribe, Shanya. The wedding date is set for the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, and we are one month apart. Come and help me arrange it then. Your aunt is not in good health."
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiang, it's your duty to do so." Cheng Xue agreed.
After her careful treatment for Mr. Qi, although she no longer coughed, her body was already damaged and there was no room for maneuver. Jiang Jianye quickly engaged and got married to his two children because he was afraid of keeping filial piety and delaying it. After all, he was old and could not delay it any longer.<
/p>
Cheng Xue explained the purpose of coming here. Jiang Jianye nodded directly after hearing this, without even a hesitation.
"That place is similar to your current one in the west of the village. The price is still twenty taels. You can't afford it by specifying it."
"Uncle still cares for me. In that case, I will have someone send the money to you later. By the way, you can help me ask Liqiang and Lihong if you are willing to go over and set up the stove after work. If you don't work in vain, one stove will cost ten
For money, see the settlement at the stove."
Jiang Jianye kept nodding after hearing this. The two children knew everything they didn't say before they got married. They both made some money before they got married, so as not to have insufficient money.
"Uncle, I'll thank you first and let you know when you need help. They will definitely be there."
"Sure, it's settled then. I'll go over there and have a look first."
"I'll accompany you." Jiang Jianye said as he put a hat on his head and went out with her.
There is no snow on the village road, but the wind is very strong, especially when passing through the village entrance, the "whoosh..." northerly wind makes my face hurt.
Arriving at the door of Li Fang's house, the courtyard door was wide open, the paper on the windows was also dilapidated, and there was a sense of depression everywhere.
It is such a pity that a good house has been left on hold for half a year.
Each of the seven tile-roofed houses, the east and west rooms together, has an area of more than 100 square meters. A slight modification is enough, and the big kang is used directly for drying. At that time, the area here will be specialized in pine nuts, and the west of the village will only produce hazelnuts.
I had a rough sketch in mind, so I just had to go home and draw it.
"Girl, Hui Zi has been gone for so long. Have you received any letters?"
Even before Mr. Li Hui left, everyone in the village knew about it. The reason was simply that Li Heng and Yan Yixin did not go to school, and it was impossible to hide it when the children went home.
"No, I guess I was either very busy along the way, or I haven't received the letter yet."
"That should be the latter, Hui Zi can rely on you."
Jiang Jianye's unintentional words made Cheng Xue stunned.
Dependent?
The dependence is also between the original couple, both of whom are quite independent.
Not wanting to continue this topic, Cheng Xue deliberately walked to the fire wall, patted it, and said:
"Uncle, how will Liqiang and Lihong live together after they get married?"
"Liqiang and his wife live in the west room of the main house, and Lihong lives next door. When the spring comes next year, I will buy a house for Lihong and build three more rooms, and the young couple will move out and live on their own." Jiang Jianye answered frankly.
With the lessons learned from Xu Daguo and Guo Dake, he would not be stupid enough to force his children to live together after they get married.
When the tree branches out, people divide their families, and we must abide by the rules passed down by our ancestors.
This idea has been revealed to my sons a long time ago, and they will be able to accept the idea of dividing the family when the time comes. After a lifetime of hard work, the money saved will probably be gone after the two boys get married and build a house.
Cheng Xue gave a thumbs up in admiration and said:
"Uncle Jiang is indeed as clear-sighted as Uncle Dong."
"It's useless to be transparent. You haven't looked at Sihong. Now you have no contact with Dake and Wubin. They are separated."
Jiang Jianye hangs out with Dong Lisong whenever he has nothing to do, and the men will also exchange trivial matters at home. Especially Dong Lisong, who has no wife, can only chat with his brothers.
Regarding Dong Hong, this is really a strange existence. I didn’t have much contact with him before and didn’t know much about it. I didn’t expect to find out after returning to the village to work on the forestry farm that this man is really jealous.
Dong Cheng and Dong Bin lived their lives with their hands. Dong Hong was actually not bad, but he was still far behind the two brothers.
This didn't work anymore. He spoke in an eccentric manner and always acted in a high-profile manner. Once he came and went, he became incommunicado. He lived in the same courtyard with Dong Cheng, but he never came to the door. Even if his wife Yang tried to persuade her, it was of no use, she just wouldn't go...
