"Okay, we understand. From now on, we all have to have a good relationship with the Xiao family's sister-in-law!"
"Yes, we have a good relationship to begin with, but this time we need some refreshment!"
"Okay, okay!" Li Zheng waved his hand.
"There will be many opportunities in the future. When I get a job, I'll call you!"
The crowd dispersed.
Li Zheng had no time to think about weaving baskets, so he walked to Xiao Changhe's house with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Xu Zhengxiang and others busy, he walked over and asked, "Brothers and sisters, didn't you go to the county seat today?"
"Brother Li Zheng!" Xu Zhengxiang also greeted, "I'm not going today. From now on, the second brother and the others will just go. We'll just be busy at home with family matters."
"I've already called someone to measure the land for your family later. Do you also want to build a house on this land? It's not easy to find someone now as the autumn harvest is about to begin."
Xu Zhengxiang put down the work in her hands and said: "Don't worry, Changhe and I have discussed it. We will wait until the autumn harvest before building. By then, everyone will be fine. It's time to ask the villagers for help!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Zheng responded quickly.
Xiao Changhe's family is now the hope of their village. When the autumn harvest is over, some of the laborers will have to go out to find work. Now, they can find work without leaving the village. This kind of good thing was something that I didn't dare to think about before.
Inside, he saw Xu Zhengxiang busy, wandering about and getting ready to go out. When he turned around, he saw a huge creature sleeping in the corner of Xiao's house.
"This dog is so strange, it actually has white hair!" Li Zheng said curiously.
The Xiao family has never told anyone about raising tigers at home.
I originally thought that I would send it back to the mountain after it recovered from its injury.
But later I saw that the tiger was docile and obedient, so no one mentioned it.
As long as it doesn't go out and cause trouble, it's okay to leave it at home.
Xu Zhengxiang saw Li Zheng walking in the direction of Yuan Bao and was about to stop him.
Unexpectedly, the sleeping Yuanbao heard the stranger's footsteps, woke up from his sleep, and raised his head.
"Oh my god!" Li Zheng was startled and fell to the ground.
"This... this... this... is a tiger! Why did the tiger come down the mountain?"
He sat on the ground and pointed at the Yuanbao with trembling fingers.
"Brother Li Zheng, you are wrong. This is my dog."
Xu Zhengxiang quickly stood in front of Li Zheng, blocking his sight.
But it's too late.
"Sister-in-law, I just don't know your eldest brother, so I can't tell the difference between a dog and a tiger?
This thing in your house is bigger than two dogs! You call this a dog? "
If Yuan Bao didn't know how to bark, Xu Zhengxiang would have wanted Yuan Bao to disguise himself.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she stopped hiding it.
"This tiger was picked up by two children on the mountain. When it was first picked up, it was only such a small one.
I didn’t expect that it would grow so big just by raising it!
But once you have developed feelings, you can't drive them away, don't you think? "
Li Zheng secretly cursed: If you can develop a relationship with a tiger, you are considered capable!
"This tiger really doesn't hurt people?"
Rimasa asked again.
As the village leader, he must ensure the safety of the villagers. If the tiger hurts people, he cannot let the tiger stay in the village under any circumstances.
"It doesn't hurt people. It won't even eat the chickens and geese at home. How can it hurt people!"
"Yuanbao, come here!" Xu Zhengxiang said, waving towards the tiger.
Yuanbao walked over lazily.
Xu Zhengxiang touched its head with her hand.
"Look, this tiger is very humane! Otherwise, we wouldn't stay in the village."
Li Zheng watched Xu Zhengxiang stroking the tiger's head, feeling itchy in his heart.
He hesitantly stretched out his hand and touched the tiger's head. Unexpectedly, the tiger suddenly turned its head and glared at him fiercely.
Li Zheng was completely frightened.
"You, you, you, you, watch it carefully and don't let him hurt anyone!" Li Zheng said with a trembling voice.
What else can be done?
You can't beat a tiger with a fight.
Now that Xiao Changhe's family is the village's support, they can only turn a blind eye or close one eye.
He shook his legs and moved outside the courtyard, when another voice suddenly came from behind.
"Wait!"
He turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Hou Fu who had stayed at Xiao Changhe's house a few days ago!
"Madam, what are your orders?"
The pressure from the hierarchy made Li Zheng lower his head involuntarily.
"Xiao Lizheng, although this tiger is big, it is really not easy to hurt people. My old lady is new here and has never seen it show its teeth or get angry."
The old lady looked at Li Zheng and nodded frequently, then continued: "However, this thing is still a beast after all, and cannot be measured by human behavior. Since Xiao Lizheng already knows about the tiger, why not go to the village and inform everyone about Xiao Lizheng?" The Changhe family keeps tigers, so everyone should be careful when going in or out."
"Yes!" Li Zheng responded repeatedly.
Who would go in and out of other people's homes when they have nothing to do?
Xiao Changhe thought.
The old lady's words were probably telling everyone not to covet the rabbits raised by the Xiao family. They raised tigers. If the tigers were angered, the consequences would be disastrous!
Li Zheng quickly gathered people in the village and told everyone that Xiao Changhe's family would need people to work after the autumn harvest.
"Building a house is the same as last time. We need to make mud bricks and dig the foundation. We want to finish it before winter, so we need more manpower. If you haven't made an agreement with others, don't rush out to find work. "
"Very good!"
"Now there is no need to go to Mr. Zhang's house to see his concierge's face!"
"That's not true. You can work during the day and sleep with your wife in your arms at night. You don't have to squeeze ten people into a large store anymore. It's great. I'm willing to do this work for a little less!"
"Just a little less, anyway, it's near your home, you don't have to spend money to eat and drink, and you'll be hooked back as soon as you come and go!"
"Hey, let me tell you, the price is low?" Li Zheng heard everyone discussing and said.
"Uncle Li Zheng, did the Xiao family say how much they would pay?"
Li Zheng stretched out a slap.
"Five cents? That's a lot!" someone shouted.
"Yes, five cents is too little, but fifty cents is too much!"
"Well!" Looking at everyone, "You know a lot too! If you know that others give you a lot, you should all work hard!
The last time we built a house, we paid 20 cents per person. This time, Changhe told me that because time was tight, we had to work longer every day, so we paid more for everyone.
But do your math, no matter how long this time is, can it be more than two days? "
"No!" Everyone was very excited.
"As long as you know what's going on, Changhe hired me as a supervisor anyway. If anyone is lazy then, they won't come the next day!"
"Uncle Li Zheng has a sharp eye. With you in charge, who would dare to be lazy!"
Everyone laughed.
