Dressed to be a grandmother

Chapter 272
When Chen Daliu bought it because of the large amount, he was taken to the office and interrogated several times. If he hadn't been to the city frequently and seen the world, he would probably have been frightened.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Daliu murmured in his heart that he still didn't think carefully enough, and he would have to bring a few people to buy separately in the future.

On the first day of the new year, when the villagers who came to pay Baixi New Year's greetings saw several large baskets of meat strips beside Baixi, they were a little puzzled.

It was only when I started to pay New Year's greetings that I realized it.

"Uh... Thank you, aunt, for the reward."

Xiao Hei covered his eyes, it never thought that the master would use meat as a red envelope one day.

If Bai Xi knew, she would hum with confidence, I have almost spent all my money, and I have no income recently, and I don’t give meat strips, so what should I do, let the villagers kowtow, and she talk?

So a novel scene appeared in Niuluo Village. Bai Xi would give a five-pound piece of bacon for a family of three to five to kowtow, and eight catties of meat for a family of six to ten. Ten catties of meat.

Li Jia and Chen Zhaodi finally understood why my aunt liked to treat the meat like eight catties and ten catties when people picked up the meat before. This is how feelings are used.

Actually, Bai Xi just had a temporary idea.

Although this was a bit strange, it also seemed interesting. Everyone carried the meat strips, happily kowtowed to Bai Xi, and then slowly dispersed.

Bai Xi's impromptu idea made Niuluo Village have such a habit on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Of course, this is a later story.

Xiao Hei seems to want to get rid of the shame, in order to save face, except that he didn't go into the mountain in the first year of junior high school, he went into the mountain again in the second year of junior high school. Of course, it doesn't always go to the trouble of wild boars, and occasionally hunts wild rabbits and pheasants Wild deer or something.

There wasn’t much entertainment in the village, so I visited relatives for the first two days, and spent the rest of the time in the village. Xiao Hei worked so hard to hunt in the mountains for the sake of the villagers. They didn’t have the face to pick up their prey, and no one would dislike the amount of meat on the dinner table at home. no.

Eating a few more bites of meat can save a little food.

If Biecun knew that Niuluo Village had such a good treatment, he would be envious to death.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year.

When the villagers were busy clearing up wild boars in the air in front of the tree house, Bai Xi sat at the table, grabbed a pencil and was about to write a letter to Lu Chen, but she tore it up and threw the pen away.

"Don't write!" No matter what he says, if you don't write, you don't write.

Chen Zhaodi, who was changing the bedding for Bai Xi, heard it and asked with a smile, "Grandma, didn't you say you wanted to write a letter?"

"I don't want to write anymore!"

"By the way, I have something to ask Xiao Liu, and when you're done, call someone to me."

"Hey, grandma, I'll go after changing the bedding."

Bai Xi nodded, and went downstairs to watch the fun with her hands behind her back.

Chen Daliu was found by Bai Xi, and when he heard her words, he was stunned for a long time.

"Grandma, you said you want to build a reservoir, is this true?"

"Of course." Bai Xi: "When did you see me joking with you?"

In the middle of the night last night, Bai Xi was suddenly woken up by the heat. Yes, it was the heat. If it wasn't for the cold wind blowing outside the window, Bai Xi would have thought it was summer.

But the heat only lasts for a while, it comes and goes quickly, if Bai Xi didn't wake up and it was still hot for a while, she would have thought it was an illusion.

So today, Bai Xi called Chen Daliu over and expressed his thoughts.

"Grandma, do you want to say, dig the pond in our village?"

Chen Daliu was not quite sure if Bai Xi meant that.

Bai Xi frowned: "I said to build a reservoir, a reservoir several times larger than a pond." What's the use of a pond? It's really a severe drought, and nothing can help.

Now, Chen Daliu understood what Bai Xi meant.

"Uh, here, grandma, our village has only 86 households, and there are only 300 young and middle-aged people in our village. Building a reservoir is not an easy task. We don't have enough manpower."

A reservoir was built in the next township, and Chen Daliu also went to see it. Good guy, it's really big, and it can store a lot of water.

However, when it was built, it took thousands of people to work for more than half a year. Even if they built a small reservoir in their village, they still needed a lot of people.

Build a reservoir to store water?

Chen Daliu quickly caught the flash of light in his mind, and his pupils shrank suddenly, could it be?
That's right, although it rained occasionally from last year to this year, the amount of water is still too little compared to the past, and even the amount of water in the stream has dropped a little.

I was worried before, but because of the occasional rain, no one was too worried about it. Now think about it, if it really does not rain for several months, especially if they have missed the season for replanting crops, if there is no water by then...

When Bai Xi saw Chen Daliu's expression, he knew that he understood, so he continued: "It doesn't matter if we don't have enough manpower, we just need to recruit people. The Chinese New Year happens to be slack season, so go to a few nearby villages to recruit some people, and build slowly first. .”

"I don't have to worry about busy farming. As long as the salary is good, I don't have to worry about no one coming." Earn work points in your own village, go to other villages to earn food, work points for food, and direct food depends on how the villagers' labor is allocated in each village.

Chen Daliu nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't know what to do.

People in one's own village can build slowly. It's not so easy to recruit people, and people from other villages won't be willing to work for nothing.

Bai Xi's immediate words stunned Chen Daliu.

"Use food to recruit people?" Chen Daliu was dumbfounded: "Grandma, there is no food in our village." He is still worried about food.

"If there is no food, use meat to pay." She has used meat as red envelopes, and she is not afraid to use meat to hire people to work.

"You arrange this matter and implement it as soon as possible. I am optimistic about the place and start construction as soon as possible."

What else did Chen Daliu want to say, seeing that Bai Xi was already yawning again and again, he knew she didn't want to say any more, so he nodded and went down to discuss the solution with the clan elders in the village.

People with a radius of hundreds of miles know that the crops in their Niuluo village have been harmed by wild boars, and they use food to recruit people. Where can they recruit people?

Chen Daliu was worried, and after discussing with the respected old man in the village, he came up with a pretty good solution.

First collect some food from each household, first recruit some people to help, wait for a few days, and then see who wants to eat meat, you can use meat instead, presumably, facing the delicious meat, no How many people can refuse.

This can save a little food.

Also, since my aunt gave 200 yuan, the 200 yuan will also be used.

In the beginning of spring, there must be people who want to repair the house. This requires money. Country people farm the land and deal with crops all year round. Where does the money come from? They have to exchange grain for money to repair the house.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Daliu didn't think it was too difficult.

(Bai Xi is going to do something again.)
