Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 167 The village chief is an old fox!
Chapter 167 The village chief is an old fox!
Spring rain is as precious as oil, especially when preparing for spring plowing, a rain is the best signal for sowing.
Every household is happy because of last night’s rain, but Suijintan is suffering.
Each family's shacks are temporarily built to ensure they are protected from wind and snow, but they cannot withstand the "moisturizing and soundless" spring rain.
While sleeping until midnight, the bedding in each house was wet and the bonfires were put out.
The elderly and children were crowded into a small dry place. They could not sleep and were wet and cold. When they got up early in the morning, they sneezed, had runny noses, had fever, and all had symptoms of wind and cold.
Shenji Zhang set up a large pot to cook medicinal soup for everyone, while urging the village chief and others.
“It’s better to build a house quickly, because it will rain more and more in the future. The elderly and children are already weak, and they will definitely get sick if they sleep in the wild.”
The village chief quickly called Li Laoer and then invited Mr. Yan.
Mr. Yan is as strong as a chicken, and he is determined to build the hot spring village as soon as possible.
I heard that the villagers want to build a house at the same time so that the family can move in early and settle down.
He waved his hand proudly and said, "No problem, I'll be responsible for finding the craftsmen. You can just find more handymen. After all, there are more than 20 sets of yards. It's not a small job."
Hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved.
After breakfast, several people from Big Banyan Village and Xiaowang Village came to work.
The village chief asked a few questions, then took Li Laoer and set off in the mule cart.
Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village and Li Zheng from Xiaowang Village were both surprised when they heard about Suijintan.
As a result, I heard that Suijintan was looking for handymen and asked them to help with the work. Without exception, both of them happily agreed.
Privately speaking, they also praised the people of Suijintan for their thoughtfulness and politeness.
Actually, this is enough if the villagers who went to work earlier came back and shouted.
Those who are not busy with spring plowing at home and can spare their hands are naturally willing to earn more wages.
But they didn’t do that. Instead, they came to visit them first and say hello. This was out of respect for them.
The two reciprocated the favor and soon gathered the villagers to talk about the matter. They also personally checked and eliminated all the scoundrels who wanted to go fishing.
Actually, even if these scoundrels are gone, they won’t be able to take advantage even with the temper of the Jintan group of people.
But since people trust them, they should also consider their own face to be more valuable, and don’t let Laizi embarrass them from the beginning.
Soon, twenty-five people from Dahuaishu and thirty people from Xiaowang Village joined the construction team in Suijintan.
More wood and stones also poured in like water.
The village chief left two Li Zheng to send people off to eat, but the two Li Zheng declined. After all, there were not even neat houses inside or outside Suijintan.
But the village chief is enthusiastic and must keep people.
The two of them really didn't care about each other, so they just wanted to deal with each other. Whether it tastes good or not is up to everyone in Broken Gold Beach.
As a result, the dinner table was unexpectedly rich.
Braised rabbit meat with dried vegetables, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, carroted sweet potatoes, and a scrambled egg with green onions, paired with a bowl of snow-white japonica rice, it’s so neat.
It can be said that there are not so many good dishes for banquets at home.
Especially the shredded sweet potato. The sweet potato is sweet and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s wrapped in syrup and you pick up a piece. The sugar strands can be stretched several feet long. It’s so novel.
The village chief seemed not to be surprised at the two of them, and greeted them to eat while still saying "humble".
“We are new here, so we don’t have anything to offer. We can only make a few dishes to entertain the two old brothers. Don’t dislike it. When our village is built, we will have a good meal.”
The two Li Zheng could only respond dryly, "Brother, you're welcome."
Jiayin took advantage of his young age and sat close by, wanting to hear the excitement.
Li Zheng from Darongshu Village thought the child was greedy and came over to get some food and drink. But before he could speak, Jiayin saw half a box of snacks in his hand. A lotus flower was engraved on the box. The box contained horseshoe cakes, walnut cakes, and plum blossom cakes.
He swallowed his words immediately. This is the most famous snack shop in the city, Jiulianzhai’s snack box. The cheapest one costs two taels of silver.
What is the real background of this group of people in Broken Gold Beach? He is actually willing to spend so much money to buy snacks for his children!
The two of them had something to worry about, and after eating seven-tenths of their food, they left politely.
After leaving Broken Gold Beach, the two gathered together and discussed for a long time.
“These people really cannot be offended, their foundation is too strong.”
“Yes, and he said that he was born as a refugee, but how can he eat and drink so well as a refugee?”
"They must have lived a good life before and had a backer. Maybe they knew about the hot springs in Broken Gold Beach in advance. Otherwise, if such a barren place was given to them, how could they come here happily."
“That makes sense. From now on, we should tell the people in the village to work hard when receiving wages from others. At least don’t make enemies. If we move around more often in the future, we might all benefit from it.”
I didn’t say that the two were shocked. I just said that as soon as they left, the village chief hurriedly called to the women, “Come here and share these meals with the children.”
The naughty boys who pretended to be playing not far away immediately ran forward with smiles on their faces.
They were just here, but their saliva was flowing like a river.
The village chief knocked them on the head and said with a smile, "It's okay. They are all the directors' children. They didn't come here to beg for trouble and let outsiders see the joke."
“Grandpa, village chief, don’t worry, my mother said, we are educated people, we can’t be ungrateful.”
“Yes, my father said I wanted to eat rabbits, so he left work and went hunting. But we can’t drool in front of outsiders. It would be an embarrassment to the village.”
The naughty boys left the broth to their younger brothers and sisters to make rice, and they only divided a few bones to gnaw.
Jia An Jiaxi hugged her sister and placed her on her lap. She removed the rabbit meat and chicken and put them into her sister's mouth.
The remaining bones and minced meat were crunched loudly by their bites, and they were extremely satisfied.
Don’t be afraid of those who come with good news, and your mouth will be full of oil when you eat it.
Sure enough, Jia An Jiaxi was very happy to see it, and it was even more delicious than eating it herself.
Last time, they almost roasted their sister as meat. Although they were injured, they still felt guilty.
How many times have I wanted to hug my sister and play with her, but I didn’t dare to come forward.
This time, my sister sat in their arms and ate meat. The food tasted so delicious. She must not be angry with them anymore!
Sure enough, at night, the family was huddled in the shack chatting, and my sister pinched some candy **** with her chubby hands and stuffed them into their mouths.
Sweet, so sweet!
Jiayin stretched her little feet, endured her sleepiness, and yawned.
But no matter how sleepy she is, she can't sleep. She has to do something tonight.
She dozed off countless times, and finally when the sky was about to get bright, she crawled to hug Dongmei.
Dongmei understood and immediately carried her on her back and quietly got up and left the shack.
The old people sleep little. In the valley, almost every day, the village chief, Uncle Zhao and others get up first and walk around. They need to know what they are doing during the day so that they can rest assured.
On this day, the village chief and Uncle Zhao, who was on a crutch, just came out of the shack and saw Dongmei standing at the entrance of the valley.
The two of them were curious and walked over.
“Sister-in-law Ye, have you been awake all night?”
Sister-in-law Ye had a strange look on her face and replied, "I'm sleeping. It's just that our general sent someone to deliver some things, so I stayed on guard for a while."
Thinking of the fruit trees Mr. Ye sent last time, the village chief and Uncle Zhao's eyes lit up.
“Mr. Ye, have you found anything good again?”
