"I agree! My niece's craftsmanship is really great!" Ying Shuangzhu was busy cooking. After hearing Ying Qingjia's words, he extended his hand to express his agreement.
"Guaiguai's craftsmanship is really good."
Huang Xuecao agreed very much with this, but that didn't mean she had no objections to these two brats.
They had just finished lunch when there was a movement outside the thatched house.
The Ying family subconsciously looked up and saw the village chief walking in from outside.
"The village chief is here, please come in."
Huang Xuecao quickly stood up and invited the village chief in, while she stood up to pour water. Before she could go out, Ying Qingci quickly followed him.
Xu Chuanqiang looked around the area around the thatched house and found that the thatched house had been repaired in every way. He couldn't help but blush.
"Brother Ying, I'm really sorry. I promised you to help you repair the thatched house before, but I didn't expect..."
Originally, he had mobilized the people in the village, but he did not expect that the villagers in the village had no intention of coming, and in the end, nothing happened.
"The village chief is too polite. This is not a big deal. After all, it is the house we want to live in. We should take care of it ourselves."
In contrast, the attitude of the Ying family made the village chief blush.
"Village Chief, we have just packed up the house. There is nothing good in the house. We only have some water. Please make do with it for now."
Originally, when guests came to the house, they should make some tea or sugar water, but now, there is nothing else at home except boiled water.
When going to town, Ying Qingci was going to replenish some necessary daily necessities.
"It's okay, the water is fine."
As he said that, Xu Chuanqiang's eyes fell on the boiled water in front of him. He didn't feel thirsty at first. Before coming, he drank a large bowl of water at home. However, for some reason, he looked at the bowl of water in front of him. Water, he just wanted to drink water.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but pick up the boiled water on the table and take a sip.
But it was this sip that made his eyes light up, and he drank a few more sips in an instant. Finally, he couldn't help it and drank all the water in the bowl.
After finishing the drink, he realized that he seemed a little rude. After putting down the bowl, he smiled awkwardly, "Brother Ying, I wonder where you get your water from?"
I don't know why, but I always feel that their water is particularly sweet and delicious. After drinking it, the fatigue on my body has faded away.
"It's from the river in the village."
Ying Wangzhu spoke very casually. They were used to drinking the water at home and didn't feel anything different.
"Really?" Xu Chuanqiang was very suspicious. The water they were drawing was not from the same river, but Ying Wangzhu would not lie to him. However, does the water from a river have such a strong taste?
However, he quickly retracted his thoughts and did not forget the real reason why he came to Ying's house today.
"By the way, Brother Ying, I'm here today because of the hiring thing you mentioned before."
Speaking of this, a flash of shame flashed across the village chief's face. He felt ashamed of what the villagers had done before. He was obviously helping the villagers, but he was misunderstood by the villagers. If it were him, he must be unbalanced in his heart. .
However, what happened to the Zhang family is also an eternal pain for the people in the village.
"After you left, I had a good talk with the villagers and asked them to abandon their prejudices and think again. Now many villagers have signed up..."
The village chief explained his intention, but the Ying family did not refuse everyone who came.
Ying Wangzhu has not forgotten what Ying Qingci told him before: "Village Chief, we are naturally happy if the villagers are willing, but again, we only hire those who are down-to-earth, hard-working, honest and reliable, as for those who are sneaky and sneaky , even if they are willing, we are not willing.”
When they hire people, they naturally have to keep their eyes peeled, just like the Ergouzi who was causing trouble in the crowd before. Even if he himself is willing to come here to work, they will not agree.
Using people like that will only cause them endless trouble.
"It's natural."
Xu Chuanqiang nodded quickly. Of course he knew these things. He didn't like people who cheated or cheated. Although he was the village chief, he was also a fair person and would not favor anyone.
"Then I'll tell you after the name is confirmed."
"Then I'll trouble the village chief."
"No trouble, no trouble, I should thank you on behalf of the people in the village."
Because of the long-term poverty in Qingyang Village, many people have chosen to leave their hometowns. Now those who stay in the village are old and young. They live a tight life relying only on the harvest from the fields every year. Sometimes they even They can't even eat.
Now the Ying family is recruiting people in the village to help open up wasteland. They earn thirty cents a day, which is a huge fortune for many villagers.
"By the way, village chief, I wonder if there are any carpenters or craftsmen in the village who can build houses?"
After hearing Ying Qingci's words, the village chief quickly thought of her intention, but when it came to this, he was really in trouble.
"Village Chief, do you have any questions?"
"There is indeed one person, but..." the village chief sighed, his eyes falling on Ying Qingci, "It's just that the famous craftsman in the village is Zhang Maosheng, and his craftsmanship is well-known throughout the ten miles and eight towns. of."
Before anything happened to the Zhang family, they were considered a wealthy family in the village, but after that incident, the Zhang family gradually disappeared.
"Zhang Maosheng?"
This name is not unfamiliar to them. It is the family whose son was killed. Now they need a skilled craftsman. Since the village chief recommended him, I think his ability is very outstanding. However, this also shows that it is difficult for them to ask him to take action. .
"We also asked the village chief to negotiate."
"I will give it a try, but there is no guarantee of success." He knows the Zhang family's attitude towards outsiders best, and it is very difficult for the family to ask him for help. "Don't have too high expectations."
"Thank you, village chief."
She hopes that the house she designs can be built by skilled craftsmen so that it can be restored to the greatest extent. Even if the final result is failure, they still have to give it a try.
——*——
After the village chief left the Ying family, the Ying family did not forget the wild yams they brought back in the morning. The family placed the yams in a relatively large backpack.
I don’t have a cart at home, so I have to carry it to town, which wastes a lot of time on the road.
However, they don't care about making money.
The town was much more prosperous and lively than the countryside. Ying Qingci inquired with passers-by and found out that the largest drug store in the town was Huichun Hall, which was on the street they were walking on.
