What Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu didn't know was that after their group left, the villagers who stayed in the village were gathering together in small groups. Eight out of ten squatted against the wall, sighing, and talking among themselves. .
The flooded villagers thought:
They were just forcing a smile.
The fourth uncle had given instructions several days in advance, saying that leaving the group of people who were stocking the goods would mean running around for more than a month, and it would not be easy just to buy some cheap New Year goods for everyone. Don't make a big donkey face as soon as you meet someone, you're all happy.
You're still happy, can you please promise not to cry?
But I didn’t cry. As those in charge of the village, they couldn’t just walk around and leave. That's really no expression at all, just a look and a nod. Well, their hearts were cold.
"What do you mean?" Everyone stared at each other.
The talk of getting rich together at the original meeting still seems to be ringing in my ears.
Even if we can't get rich together, each family's foundation is different and it's easy to fail. Well, it was originally agreed that some people would be enriched first, and then other people would be motivated. So why didn’t they say how to do so?
The light of the righteous path promised at the beginning is nowhere to be seen if it is not the moon with women.
At this time, it is no wonder that the villagers were a little disappointed.
That's what everyone has been waiting for for a long time.
Since the news of the mutual market came out, people in other villages have spread that their village is getting rich, and relatives at home have also come to help analyze it.
Don't worry if your relatives come to your door and say if the flood is too high, there will be a gain. We can't help but need to borrow your light in the future.
Because you don’t know how many people outside are envious of your village’s geographical location. I envy you that there are people in your village who can strike first.
He also explained that you had held a conference, and Li Zheng and the person with someone on top had expressed that they would take everyone together to do it. How to do it, you will be sure to wait for them to come back, so there is no need to worry.
After being persuaded in this way, the villagers felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at the dilapidated homes, they were full of hope. They smiled and said, "Since our village robbed across the river together and suffered injuries together, we haven't talked about the relationship between the families. That's right. How can I describe it to you? It’s upright at the root and upright at the root.”
Then the relatives who came to help listened to their bragging and helped them guess:
The land I bought is still vacant and a large area of land has not been built on. Presumably, it will be sold to you at a low price with no more than a few dollars added to the original price, so that you can build your own house. After it is completed, you can make a fortune by flipping it.
Or the built ones will be rented to you villagers at a low price so that you can do something. As for what you can do, it depends on who has the ability. Who knows what you can do? You can't just use the rental money to joke around. .
All in all, peace of mind.
Well, Ann, as long as the pot didn't float away, the house didn't collapse, and people are still alive, just stay alive.
The flooded villagers felt bitter in their mouths. Could this be the outcome of their long-awaited return?
Not only does the house being traded have nothing to do with them, they have been working hard to help dig the foundation for more than a month, and looking at this, they may not even get a fish as compensation, which is not as good as before. Should the next step be to persuade them to relax?
Okay, then just relax and just do the work as a courtesy, it’s nothing.
But many villagers still couldn't help but be disappointed. It seemed that in the village, people were still divided into different levels. It was because of their stupidity.
People like Liu Laozhu, Mrs. Xu, Sibo, Wanjia and others are at the top, but they are at the bottom.
The above, such deep thoughts, even made Xu Tianxin sneeze when he just arrived at his new house.
It's just that Xu Tianxin thought it was Grandpa Wan's family who was whispering about her.
Because she had just met the uncles and grandfathers in her new house, Grandpa Wan's family looked at her strangely.
When the head of the Wan family saw Xu Tianxin in Liyuan, he wondered how a little girl in her teens could make a high-ranking official give away wild boar skins worth more than twenty taels. The high official ignored the more powerful boys accompanying him and looked at a little girl in a different light, which meant that he had underestimated Xu Tianxin.
Because he asked his youngest son how old the high official was, called Xu Family Girl Xiaoyou, and he said he was quite old and powerful.
If you are quite old and still hold a high position all year round, you will become a mature person.
But for someone of such an age and status to take a high look, it seems that the Xu family not only has Mrs. Xu, a leader who is not inferior to men, but also a girl named Xiao's father. Her father is Xu Youtian, who is Ah, she just kept hiding it when she was young.
The head of the Wan family thought to himself: After carefully recalling Xu Tianxin's performance in recent days, I realized that An An is suitable and can be used in all four pavilions. She is indeed not like an ordinary woman.
You said he was blind before. For a girl like this, it is worth spending any amount of betrothal gift to decide to be her granddaughter-in-law early. Choose the best boy in the family to get engaged, and then get married in the future. Speaking more broadly, marrying the right granddaughter-in-law can affect three generations. But now...
Alas, it's too late!
Unless you have a special fate with his family, it would be easy to overestimate your capabilities if you just come to ask for help, and you might even end up blushing.
This time, let alone Xu Tianxin, even Mrs. Xu noticed something strange about the head of the Wan family.
"Brother Lao Wan, what's going on? Why are you looking at my granddaughter like that?"
The head of the Wan family laughed and said, "I took a look at Tian Xin when she went out. Her hair is not as yellow as before. It seems a little darker."
This is the truth.
Following these words, Fourth Grandpa and the others also looked at Xu Tianxin and chuckled, and upon closer inspection, they discovered that Xu Tianxin's arms and legs were slender and stronger than before.
Liu Laozhu has been walking beside Xu Tianxin. They have a good relationship with each other. It can be said that Xu Tianxin is very close to his grandfather, Guan Ertu, Liu Laozhu and Jia Lai.
Liu Laozhu said with a smile: "It seems that the money spent on eating along the way was not in vain. Wait until grandpa has time to go to town and bring you two watermelons back. If you don't buy them, they will be gone."
Mrs. Xu also took the opportunity to tell everyone:
"I never mentioned it before, but our child was born with frailty.
At that time, right after I gave birth, I went to see someone who said I had liver-blood deficiency.
You all know who I am. I used to be very concerned about face. I finally looked forward to the birth of a grandchild. I didn’t want the women in the village to gossip about the child’s fault. I was worried that it would be difficult for the girl to tell others when she grew up, so I never told anyone about it.
At that time, Arita also said not to tell anyone, because they were afraid that the naughty children of the same age in the village would bully our girl. She was so small, she cried like a kitten, and her arms and legs were weak when she was a child. "
When Mrs. Xu said this, she smiled and said deliberately:
"Now you look at it, isn't it so short? This hair will gradually become darker. But this is where it is.
All of you, please remember this for me, okay?
I have to let my granddaughter not only slowly make up for the deficiency symptoms when she is growing up, but also why my family is working hard to earn money? Just to let her eat well and make my granddaughter stronger than anyone else, I would rather make her a lot of more sets of clothes a year, and if the clothes are short, I will make new ones. "
Mrs. Xu is paving the way for Xu Tianxin to sleep in, eat well at home, and open a small stove for Xu Tianxin to get dressed.
We don't have to hide it, because later people will easily criticize our children for being greedy, eating whatever money the family earns and spending it on her granddaughter.
It's better to tell her directly, yes, that's what she planned.
Their family earns money just for good food and clothing. They are so vulgar. They also have several cars at home, one for each of their sons. In the future, they will build a big house, and their granddaughter doesn’t care what jewelry she wants. Just buy the first sheep if you sell them. In the future, there will be an authentic granary to store a lot of grain.
In modern times, Mrs. Xu visited the scenic spots and saw that the Wang Family Courtyard was really luxurious. She also set a small goal first. Her first five-year plan was to build the Xu Family Courtyard here. The eldest daughter of the Xu family, her granddaughter.
So when Mrs. Xu was gesticulating with the men and saying this, she had the arrogance of the leader of the Xu family. People's desires, according to Mrs. Xu, slowly expand with progress.
But among the men accompanying him, no one doubted the authenticity of what Mrs. Xu said.
Because the group of them had followed the conversation and walked around the mule and cattle shed at the back, and came to the front to see a large house.
Among them, four rooms in the Xu family
Luxurious houses are the most obvious.
Even the two elders, Fourth Uncle and Seventh Uncle, felt that what Mrs. Xu just said was not a dream.
With the arrival of Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu and their entourage, the new house immediately became lively.
The head of the four major families, surnamed Cao, deliberately stepped down the ladder from the roof.
Not to mention the boys who are building houses, they have been busy for this day for so long.
Their faces were filled with anticipation as if they were waiting for a test and wanted to hear comments.
As the only woman besides her granddaughter, Mrs. Xu is also the female leader.
As she walked towards these people, she raised her hands high and applauded everyone: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone has worked hard."
Liu Laozhu and Sibo naturally also learned to applaud along with them.
Liu Laozhu added with a smile: "You did a good job while we were away. Look, we will be able to open in about ten days. This is something we never expected, right?"
Mrs. Xu nodded. She really didn't expect it. She thought she would be at least a month younger.
Wang Yusheng deliberately did not go out on this trip. He was responsible for arranging the new house with Xu Youyin.
At this time, he also accompanied the whole process. After hearing Liu Laozhu's words, he quickly reported:
"If the roof hadn't been lifted, we could have finished it now.
It can be said that all the strong men in our village work extremely hard.
At that time, everyone gritted their teeth and said that things must be finished when you come back.
But it couldn't stop the strong wind that had just hit the roof the day before. The mud on the roof was leaked and blown away before it dried. Rain leaked from every house, and the river was blocked from entering the village. Most of the people had to be evacuated. This was the end of the world before us. This look. "
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu asked, "Only my house has its tile roof changed?"
Wang Yusheng did not explain that it was not something ordinary people could afford. After all, Lao Wan's family could also afford it. There is another reason besides money:
"I heard that all the tile kilns we know were sold out in those days. Even your family was connected to Capt. Zhao. Capt. Zhao didn't come at that time, but a few of his men came. We sent several truckloads of tiles despite the heavy rain, and they went out of their way to explain them."
Only then did Mrs. Xu realize that there was such an episode.
The head of the Cao family is responsible for the beams, tiles and kang on the foundation of the new house. He can be said to be the chief architect of Erdaohe Village. Next year, he will have to lead people to work on the remaining large land.
He was just suggesting: "Let's go and look at each house?"
"Walk."
In addition to the four rooms of Xu's family, two of which are magnificent, then the two of Wang's, the four of Lao Wan's on the east side, and then the ten rooms of Liu Laozhu's name, we must take a closer look.
When the family member surnamed Cao showed Mrs. Xu and the others the half-built kang, they specially thanked Mrs. Xu and said, "Thanks to your fourth son."
Because what Xu Youyin took was the drawing of the Kang table that had been improved by Mrs. Xu. Part of this drawing came from Mrs. Xu’s memory, and most of it came from family members in the live broadcast room. Some of them knew how to do this.
For example, unlike the traditional kang method here, the Xu family's drawings have greatly changed the kang path.
For example, the Xu family put some broken bricks in the kang path, and placed some broken pottery pieces where there were no bricks. The drawings also indicate that more should be placed at the end of the kang and less at the head of the kang to form a slope.
In addition, after many years of modern research, the biggest trick to make the Kang heated is to ask people who can't afford bricks to put stones on them to build honeycombs instead of building them tightly. In this way, the heat will travel through the cracks in the stones and the gray smoke will not accumulate but fall. All the cracks in the rocks. In short, this method of making a kang, including making a dragon, has been tested by the villagers and it is much easier to burn than before. It does not require firewood and is very warm. They were pleasantly surprised.
Otherwise, Mrs. Xu is not an ordinary person in the eyes of the men in the village.
When she heard Brother Cao's thanks, her first reaction was not to be humble and polite, but:
"As long as it's useful, can our village build a team of dragons and dragons in the kang? There are specialties in the art. As long as the work is good and different from the old skills, the reputation will be known in the future. Who builds a new house in the town or county?" We can take over this job. In this way, the boys in our village can have multiple places to earn money. Brother Cao, if that happens, your Cao family will take the lead. Li Zheng, what do you think?" qδ.net
Liu Laozhu: "...Huh? Then, that's necessary."
Mrs. Xu didn't say a word. Even with the arrival of businessmen from other places, people felt that the kang was so hot. If necessary, they could go to the neighboring city with food, accommodation and wages.
After hearing this, the head of the family named Cao was stunned at first, then looked surprised, and finally turned into very emotional.
To be honest, he didn't take advantage of the east wind to buy wasteland in advance, but still had to work hard every day to help build other people's houses. He felt a little uncomfortable. It was not that his Cao family couldn't afford it.
But now that Xu's sister can say these words, not only is all his unintended thoughts gone, but she is also filled with gratitude.
Because he wouldn't have thought of it without reminding him, and this was the Xu family's drawing. It's so obvious to say that the Cao family needs to take the lead.
Don't say anything. The Xu family is the head of the family, and the Cao family accepts this love.
Through the outer wall without windows, the boys outside also heard this.
If they really raise a team to go out to make money, wouldn't they be the best candidates to learn the craft from them these days?
A boy looked at Xu Youyin, held onto Youyin's shoulders and said, "Thank you, Youyin."
Xu Youyin had two different thoughts in his heart and on his face.
In my heart: Mother, mother, you told me earlier, the three of us can do this job, let us earn.
Xu Youyin didn't even have the slightest idea of becoming the "Third Young Master of the Village" in the future. He only had the idea of not letting go of every penny.
But with a smile on his face, he said: "We are all from the same village, thank you for being a layman."
The Fourth Uncle and the Seventh Uncle looked at each other. They didn't know whether to say something or not. They also had the idea of making Mrs. Xu the leader of the village.
I wonder who among the men present has such courage and vision. Only when such people are in power can more villagers benefit.
However, when he saw Liu Laozhu's ten houses, he resisted the idea of usurping power. After all, they could be used as a free space, and there was no need to take them down.
At the same time, during the house viewing process, Xu Tianxin had decided on whose house to rent for soap making. She planned to negotiate the rent with Wang Yusheng and Uncle Wang alone.
Xu Tianxin took a liking to the stones on the floor of Wang's house. The stones were chiseled very flat.
Although the Wang family is one of the four major surnames, it is not as rich as the Wan family, but there are many people. So Kang hasn't arrived at his house yet, and the two houses are currently empty. The whole family was debating day by day whether or not to use up the last of their wealth and buy bricks to imitate the Xu family to resist, and it was so delayed.
In addition, due to the large number of strong laborers, the ground is dug smoother than other homes.
Isn't that right? Wang Yusheng was asked to speak alone by Xu Tianxin.
When Wang Yusheng heard that Xu Tianxin was going to rent his empty house for a month and pay him one tael of rent, he was stunned: "Niece, how much did you say?"
"One tael, Uncle Wang, don't worry. I met a Grandpa Jialai on the road. He knows some inside information. He said that it will take more than a month for the caravan to arrive in the North, and it will not affect your other business. However, the downside Yes, your family will have to set up the kang later."
Wang Yusheng stiffly replied smoothly: "That doesn't matter." After saying that, he realized: "You girl, why do you give me so much? You only gave me one tael of silver after only one month, and it's still an empty house."
Xu Tianxin had thought about this price, not just because Wang Yusheng had a good relationship with her physical father, but also because she had recently been tired of building a house for her family.
"Uncle Wang, I don't know if you've heard that I recently took on an urgent job and made a lot of soap nuts. To be honest, the ground at your house is suitable. It will start the day after tomorrow."
I have to go to town tomorrow to prepare materials. There are many things to buy and tools for making. Xu Tianxin counted the time and at least left her second uncle to make a wooden hammer for knocking on the trademark. The wooden hammer should be engraved with the pattern "My live broadcast room connects the past and the present." She and her grandma sat in front of a mobile phone to live broadcast.
This is a delicate job. After her second uncle finished eating the steamed buns in the morning, he put down all his work and was carving them at home.
After burning incense, when Mrs. Xu and the others gathered at the Xu family's new house, sat down cross-legged, drank some water, and planned to discuss how to lead the villagers to make money, Wang Yusheng had not shown up yet.
Wang Yusheng had a list in his hand from Xu Tianxin, which he specifically asked for after asking about Zaojiao in detail because he was worried about it.
On this list, the twenty candidates his eldest niece Xu Tianxin wants to hire are all girls from flooded families in the village.
