Chapter 159 Good Person Card (three more)

February twelve.

Compared with last month, the weather in February is much more comfortable, but there is relatively more rain.Guangning County has been under the hazy drizzle for five consecutive days.

Because of the rain, the road construction can only be temporarily stopped. So far, most of the roads in the village have been repaired, and the road from Yuanjia to the entrance of the village has been paved.Moreover, more than two hundred shi of glutinous rice are needed to travel one mile, and one stone of glutinous rice costs five hundred cash, which is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver for one mile.It is about eight miles from the village to the county seat, and the cost is almost [-] taels.

With Su Yueling's perfect personality in doing things, naturally he will not only repair the road from Yuan's house to the entrance of the village, but other roads in the village will also be repaired together. Anyway, the total is only one thousand taels, and the food provided is less than one One hundred and two.In this way, when she goes out occasionally, she doesn't have to worry about getting her feet dirty.To her, the money was well spent.

It takes about ten days for the Nuomi Road to harden completely.After waiting for the glutinous rice road to harden, the villagers immediately saw the benefits of using glutinous rice to build roads.

Not to mention, this road is really not ordinary. They walked around with bullock carts, and they never left marks on the road.The road surface is very smooth, not as bumpy as before.Don't mention how enjoyable it is to run on it.

In particular, although they didn't pay for this road, they built it themselves.Everyone stepped on it, not to mention how proud they were.

This is all thanks to Su Yueling. If she hadn't spent money to build roads, everyone would not be able to benefit from it.Even the roads in the county are not as good as them.

It's a pity that after the spring rain, everyone has to go to the fields to sow seeds.Road construction progress will inevitably slow down.

Su Yueling thought about spending money to invite craftsmen from the city when the villagers were busy in spring.

Who knew that the villagers knew about it and protested.

"This is our way! You've paid enough for Nuomi, how can you spend extra money to hire someone?"

"Paving the road is not a delicate job, and everyone in our village can do it."

As the person with the best relationship with Su Yueling in the village, Mrs. Zhang Li was pushed out as a representative to speak to Su Yueling about this matter.

Su Yueling was a little puzzled, "But you will have to be busy with the fields in the next two months."

"Yes, but this does not delay our road construction. We can do the work in the field in half a day, and the other half day to repair the road. If there is not enough time, there is no problem in continuing to build roads at night." Zhang Lishi said, "If you don't ask everyone to help, everyone will not be able to walk safely on this glutinous rice road."

Su Yueling didn't expect that she wanted to give them a holiday, but the villagers were not happy about it, and offered to work overtime without paying overtime pay.What a sentiment.

"Well, after the rain stops, everyone can continue to build the road."

Mrs. Zhang Li immediately showed a relieved smile, walked out of Yuan's house happily with her head raised, and said to the other villagers who had been waiting at the door for a long time: "Yue Ling said that we should repair this road!"

When the villagers at the gate heard this, they burst into cheers.

"We should have been allowed to come, there is no need to waste money to invite people from the city."

"That is, their strength may not be as strong as ours."

"Let's hurry up and see if we can fix this road before the busy spring."

Everyone is full of energy and looks proud.

Su Yuewei closed the windows and doors tightly, not wanting to hear the voices of the villagers.She felt that the villagers were all in a muddleheaded state. They worked hard every day to build roads for Su Yueling without asking for a penny.Are they crazy?

Su Yueling has money, and if she wants to waste it, she will waste it. Is it necessary to save money for her?

Now she doesn't like to go out more and more, she just feels that she has no common topic with these stupid villagers.She only hoped that Cheng Wang would become a juren soon, and when the time came, their family would help the county, so they wouldn't need to be neighbors with Su Yueling anymore.She had heard that every time someone in Guangning County was admitted to Juren, those wealthy officials would give generous gifts to the newly promoted Juren.Others will give them money in order to put their fields under the names of Juren.

Cheng Wangfu's achievements are not limited to raising people's fame. Sooner or later, she will become the imperial wife.

No matter how beautiful Su Yueling is, she is trying to show off her prestige in Lushan Village, a remote place.

……

After the rain stopped, I was afraid that Su Yueling would really invite the craftsmen from the city to come over. The villagers would plow in spring and build roads at the same time, neither of which would be spared.The men were not stingy with their strength. Even Wang Lushi, who liked to take advantage of the village most, urged his son to go to work because the three meals provided by Su Yueling were so good.As for the female relatives, apart from doing housework, they spend their spare time spinning cloth and yarn with three-spindle pedal spinning wheels.The efficiency of this spinning wheel is particularly good. After a month, they can earn eight renminbi at least, and they can even earn one or two taels if they are good at craftsmanship. This can be said to be unimaginable in the past.They also know in their hearts that when there are more and more spinning wheels, the price of cotton cloth and yarn will definitely drop, so they need to make more money before that.In the past, everyone was lazy because no matter how hard they worked, they didn't earn much money, but now they have seen the dawn of hope, and everyone is very motivated to work.

Both men and women, young and old, are busy with work, and the atmosphere can be said to be completely new.The three aunts and six women who used to gossip are too lazy to gossip together. With this time, they might as well weave more to make money.If they save more money, they can also repair the house or build a new one.Although it is definitely not comparable to Su Yueling's mansion, they are already satisfied.

When Aunt Chen's nephew Chen Qi came to deliver the letter, he saw that the road conditions in Lushan Village had completely changed.

This road looks better than their county town, and the carriage is walking on it, not to mention how smooth it is.

He marveled for a while, then went to the door of Yuan's house, and said to the concierge: "This letter is for Miss Wu Shu, please deliver it to her."

Old man Sheng nodded and went in immediately.

Chen Qi was waiting at the door, he had to wait for Wu Shu's reply.Even he didn't expect that his aunt would unite with Wu Shu.You must know that Wu Shu is the enemy of the Wu family.But it's not incomprehensible when you think about it. The eldest son of the Wu family is clearly about to collapse, and my aunt must find a new way out for herself.

When the letter was delivered, Wu Shu was cleaning the peach blossoms, preparing to make peach blossom rouge for Su Yueling.

When she heard Chen Qi delivering the letter, she put down her work and said to Shengnan, "It's enough to wash the petals three more times, and the next three times have to be washed with spring water from the mountain."

There is a mountain spring in the mountains of Lushan Village, and the spring water is clear, much better than well water.Ever since Su Yueling knew the existence of the mountain spring, she now uses the mountain spring for food and drink. They specially brought the spring water down from the top of the mountain with bamboo tubes.The bamboo has to be replaced every few days to keep it from getting dirty inside.

Wu Shu took the letter, tore it open, pulled out the letter paper, and unfolded it.

Looking at it, she couldn't help showing a faint smile.

It just so happened that the Yuan family wanted to open a dyeing workshop, so the Wu family took the initiative to deliver it to their door.According to Su Yueling, it would be unreasonable not to award them a good man medal.
