"Oh? Why is this?" Fang Zheng was puzzled. Yizhi Village has always been looking for old people. As long as you are diligent and willing to work, everyone will rush to get it. You know the basics and are familiar with it, so feel free to use it. Unless you are too lazy and don't work.
.But the three brothers of the Zhou family in front of me seem to be hard-working and down-to-earth brothers, so why are they useless?
Zhou Ziyuan said helplessly: "Nowadays, machines are used. The machines are like monsters. When they enter the farmland, they drive suddenly, and then when they drive back, the wheat is cut. Although we are all veterans, our hands are
It's fast enough and technically proficient, but manpower is manpower after all, and it can't compete with other people's machines. What's more, the money they charge is lower than us... ugh..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zishan and Zhou Ziyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh again, and only the oldest Zhou Ziheng sat in the back with a bit of sadness.
"So that's what happened. It's no wonder. I've also heard that Hyundai Mack has taken over many places now. A family drives a combine harvester from south to north, and it doesn't last a year.
Make less money. Brother, you should also get a harvester. In this world, you cannot rely on strength alone to work." Wang Yougui nodded to express his understanding.
Zhou Ziyuan shook his head and said: "We also want to buy a combine harvester, but there is still some money left. We just hope to make the remaining money this year. As a result, this year's harvesters are widely used, and we can't make any money at all.
It is too difficult to buy a combine harvester... Fortunately, there are some mountainous and low-lying terrain where the machine cannot enter, so we can make a little money. We came out in June and went all the way north, looking for work and walking all the way.
So far. Village chief, we have already seen it when we came here. The fields in your village are flat and it seems that there is no need for Mai Ke. We will not disturb you and are going to try our luck elsewhere."
After speaking, Zhou Ziyuan patted the child next to him, and the little kid looked at Zhou Ziyuan with a bitter look on his face and said, "Dad... I'm tired. Let's take a rest before leaving."
When Zhou Ziyuan heard this, his eyes immediately turned red. He felt sorry for the child of each family. Although children are energetic, they are children. For the same journey, Zhou Ziyuan could grit his teeth and persevere, but the child really couldn't bear it anymore.
Wang Yougui and Fang Zheng looked at each other, and Fang Zheng asked: "Donor Zhou, you have been working so hard on this journey, why are you still bringing a child with you?"
"There's nothing we can do if we don't take it with us. There's no one at home, so we can't just leave the child at home..." Zhou Ziyuan's wife said with a bit of complaint.
When Zhou Ziyuan heard this, his eyes became even darker, and his whole person seemed to feel a little older.
"Mom, I'm tired too, let's take a rest." Another little girl also held the hand of Zhou Zishan's wife, Shen Aijia, and whispered.
Shen Aijia kept a straight face, patted the little girl's butt, and reprimanded in a low voice: "It's not enough to rest for so long? If you rest for so long, it will get dark, and today has passed in vain. If you don't make money in a day, what will you eat in the future?
, what to drink?”
The little girl was attacked by Shen Aijia, and immediately she didn't dare to say a word. She pulled the corner of Shen Aijia's clothes and stood there with a look of grievance on her face.
Seeing this, Zhou Zishan quickly stood up and said: "Village Chief, we won't disturb you anymore. Thank you for your hospitality. Let's take our leave first..."
Fangzheng could see that Zhou Zishan was really anxious. For these wheat customers, not going out for a day was equivalent to being out and about. Moreover, it was time to rush to the wheat field, and it was already cold and dew. If it were a few days later, everything would be gone.
When people's rice has been harvested, they have no money left. Now they are in a hurry and on the road. No wonder they are in a hurry and refuse to take a break.
But Fang Zheng knew better than Zhou Zishan that the farmland in the villages near Yizhi Mountain was basically flat. Moreover, everyone had already discussed it and hired each other to help with harvesting. It was difficult for outsiders to participate.
But when he saw a few adults carrying their big luggage again and dragging two children who were tired of walking and didn't want to leave, Fang Zheng's heart felt sour.
Red Boy secretly pulled Fang Zheng's corner, and Squirrel directly grabbed Fang Zheng's ears and started wiping tears.
The lone wolf looked at Fang Zheng pitifully, while the monkey kept muttering something... Fang Zheng listened carefully, and it was shockingly: "The great monk with a heart of stone... Amitabha..."
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and really wanted to slap this stupid monkey.
However, Fang Zheng had no time to pay attention to these apprentices. Instead, he looked at Wang Yougui and said: "Donor, our village should also hire Mai Ke? A few more people can help quickly. It's already cold dew, and frost will fall in a few days...
…”
"Okay, Abbot Fangzheng, please stop talking. I know what you want to say. In fact, I am quite embarrassed... You also know that our village has made a lot of money with your help this year. In previous years, everyone was reluctant to spend money.
, this year is different, we all have money, so we jointly bought a combine harvester. Yang Hua has already gone to pick up the truck, and he will be back soon after calculating the time." At this point, Wang Yougui spread his hands, and his meaning was very clear.
.
Founder understood. He had already invested in a combine harvester, so who was still looking for Mike?
At this moment, Song Ergou came. This guy was carrying a sickle, grinning, wearing a hat, and walked in happily with a red face. When he saw a few Mai Ke going out, he also looked curious.
He came over and asked: "Village chief, who are these people? Why are they carrying their children in such bundles? They look very pitiful."
Wang Yougui talked about the affairs of several people, and then said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I really want to help them, but our village really doesn't need Mai Ke now. Oh... By the way, you are so sweaty.
, what have you been doing?"
Song Ergou poked his crooked hat with the handle of the sickle and said: "What can I do? Didn't I encourage land reclamation before? I opened a wasteland on the edge of the mountain in the original puddle. It was a mess and full of potholes.
It’s not a piece of cake either. I guessed that the machine couldn’t get in anyway, so I might as well harvest the rice there myself... Well, after working all morning, I finally got it done.”
At first, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that, but then they heard that all the work was done, and Fang Zheng and Wang Yougui were fine.
But the red boy, lone wolf, monkey, and squirrel nearby were not happy when they heard this. They were rushing to eat. When they got down the mountain, they found that they had no work to do, and they were very unhappy! It turned out that this guy actually had a job by himself.
It's done! It's so unethical! What's more, there are several poor people waiting for work! So, everyone stared at Song Ergou fiercely, always feeling that this guy was just here to disrupt the situation.
Song Ergou was horrified by the sight and said, "Abbot Fangzheng, what's wrong with your disciples? Why do you look at people so strangely?"
As soon as Fang Zheng turned his head, several guys immediately put away their fierce eyes and looked at Song Ergou one by one in a cute way. Song Ergou was stunned for a while. The expressions of these guys were too uniform, changing all over the place...
