Although it is said that it is building a mill, it is not actually a huge project. It just happens to be built on a mountain stream, so the foundation tamping is more complicated.
The construction men dragged in wood and mud. As long as they work quickly, they might be able to erect the frame of the hut until the sun goes down.
The village chief and elders also came. This village took the initiative to propose things to be built. Although they were not required to supervise the work every day, they had to be present when the first shovelful of soil was dug, so as to show the importance of the village.
"Hey? Why doesn't anyone come from this banker?"
Villagers came one after another, trying to block the road behind the village.
He stood far away and looked around for a long time with his hands on the awning, but no one from the banker appeared there.
"You said this idea was originally their family's idea. Why did they actually build this mill, but there is no one left?"
"Who knows this? But I don't think there's anything to worry about. With the village chief and elders here, this matter is a sure thing, and my family will have to make the first move by then."
"Why does it belong to you? Or is your wheat expensive? It will be grinded first when the time comes!"
"Not bad, not bad! First come, first served, everyone has to line up!"
There is actually nothing new about building a house. The villagers are so active just because they feel that their life is better, and even the mills can be used automatically. This is the only thing in the ten miles and eight villages, and they are proud of it. Although they are noisy at this time
I wonder who can be the first to use this stone grinder, but everyone has a smile on their face.
Zhuang Keqing didn't come today because she had to deliver goods. Qin Manzhi was supposed to come, but at this time she was circling around Wang's house.
Although her daughter didn't say anything about what happened yesterday and didn't want to worry about it anymore, she can't be careless as a mother. She always felt that this matter was closely related to the third child of the Wang family, although she couldn't do anything for her daughter even if she knew the truth.
, but there are some things that a mother should be aware of.
The Wang family's yard was closed, and through the small gaps in the fence, one could see the mess inside.
Qin Manzhi frowned.
What happened to the Wang family? It seems like they were robbed? But it was broad daylight and there were no strangers in the village. Who could do such a thing?
Just as she was thinking about it, the door of Wang's house opened, and Wang Er and his wife He came out.
"Erlang, you put away the big things in the yard and sweep them. I'll make do with some lunch first." He sighed, "Meimei woke up and went back to sleep soon, but the eldest brother hasn't come back yet.
, I don’t know if something happened. Could it be that there is not enough money?”
Wang Er found a dustpan under the house and started to clean up the things in the yard. He buried his head and said, "The doctor said we can pay on credit, so it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe something delayed us."
He nodded and entered the kitchen.
Wang Er packed up his things and took a broom to sweep the floor. However, as he was sweeping, he saw the dried grapes on the ground and threw the broom away in frustration.
"Wang San, the one who kills with a thousand swords!" he growled bitterly.
At home, my mother is now lying on the bed due to stimulation, and only my father is looking after her. Meimei is injured and needs to take medicine. Looking at the look of the sister-in-law, I am afraid that her heart will go cold for the Wang family. The eldest brother is also an honest person, and now the whole family
The burden does not all fall on myself and my wife. I need money and people, but I am lying down and sick. The whole house is a mess!
Qin Manzhi couldn't understand. What she saw in front of her was really not enough for her to make any specific guesses about the whole thing. Just as she was hesitating whether to shamelessly go in and inquire about something, she saw Zhang Da pushing a cart with Gouzi and Gouzi in the distance.
The daughter came in her direction, and when she looked carefully, she saw Wang Da following behind.
Zhuang Keqing saw his mother holding Aman and stretching her head outside the Wang's courtyard. He knew in his heart that she came out to investigate today while he was not at home because he didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday.
She was helpless and moved in her heart, but on her face, she raised her lips and shook her hand at her mother.
Qin Manzhi was touched by chance. Although she looked embarrassed, she knew she couldn't hide it, so she simply went in their direction.
As for Wang Da, seeing that his own yard was not far away, he didn't want to leave slowly at this time. He pushed the cart and only had time to say thank you to Zhuang Keqing before he hurried away.
Qin Manzhi passed by him, and when she saw the man's anxious look and the words "The medicine is coming, it's coming" over and over again, she became even more confused.
The few of them were only on the road and did not turn into the side road of Wang's house. They watched from a distance as Wang Er rushed out of the courtyard, picked up the cart, and Wang Da took the medicine and stumbled to the kitchen.
"Mom, I'll explain it to you when I get home." Seeing Qin Manzhi's expression, Zhuang Keqing knew that she couldn't figure out the situation now, but the reason for the matter was still yesterday, so it was hard to tell her in front of Zhang Da, so she just smiled and said,
"Let's go to Uncle Zhang's house to buy some eggs first."
When Zhang Day heard her talk about buying it, he immediately became unhappy and insisted on convincing them that it was a gift from him and not worth a few bucks at all. When he got angry, he would immediately stop the car and argue.
Zhuang Keqing had no choice but to nod in agreement, thirty eggs, thirty coins.
Make a mental note that there will always be a time when she can pay her back.
After that, the group of people went all the way to Zhang's house, picked up the eggs, and then headed home.
"Ke'er, the mill is under construction today. Do you want to go take a look later?" Qin Manzhi asked.
"Of course." Zhuang Keqing didn't want to miss it, so she set off early today. If Wang Da hadn't been delayed by that matter, she would have been able to come back before the start of work.
"Uncle Zhang, let's go watch the fun together after putting away the things."
"Okay! Okay! I want to go!"
Without waiting for his father's answer, the dog barked most happily. Zhang Da saw that his son was in high spirits and he had nothing to do for the time being, so he might as well go and watch the fun, so he agreed.
Several people went back to unload their things, tied up the chickens and locked them up, soaked the ribs in water to remove the blood, and then went out.
The village is really lively.
When Zhuang Keqing came here, she felt as if she was in another world. It was clear that there was no one here yesterday. Faced with Wang San's persecution, she yelled at the sky and the earth for no response, so she could only work hard to save herself. But now, this
There were so many people around, and if my surname hadn't been Zhuang and I wasn't the founder of this mill, I probably wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.
"The dealer's here!"
"I said, they will definitely come on this good day."
Zhuang Keqing and others walked to the small construction site from the path that the villagers voluntarily gave way to. She went up to greet the village chief and elders who had arrived early.
"Little girl, there is no need to be polite." The village chief smiled.
He was happy to see that the mill experiment was successful and could be used soon. Now he even had some expectations for the girl's method of raising fish in rice fields. If it could really work, it would not be a great thing to benefit the villagers.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhuang Keqing with eyes full of expectation.
Zhuang Keqing didn't know that the village chief had already thought about such a long time ago, so he only said: "Grandpa, the village chief, went to the pharmacy in the town today and brought you some throat soothing herbs. I will send them to you later."
After saying that, she did not forget the other three elders. She bowed to them solemnly and said thank you for coming to visit after a few days, which was enough to make them feel relieved.
"Village Chief! Village Chief! Something happened!"
Just when several people were feeling happy looking at the mill that was gradually taking shape, someone pushed through the crowded villagers and got in.
