Chapter 1486 1486 All worried

Several old men sighed, "Qingping, there is nothing to discuss here. Let's hold a meeting later to hear everyone's opinions."

"Okay, this way we can avoid being blamed in the future."

"No matter what, everyone in our village must be united, otherwise we might get bullied down there."

"Yes, Qingping, we must unite."

"I know that, but I have all kinds of thoughts. Let's talk about it in the meeting later."

"What do you mean?"

"Fourth uncle, I want to sell it. At least I can get some money. If we go down the mountain and the things we have are leaked, what will others think of us? Will they think we have other good things?

It would be even more difficult for us to be remembered by others. If we build a house together, it will let outsiders see that we are of one mind, so they will have to think twice before doing anything, right?
Even this price is giving me a headache. I thought if I agreed to sell it, I could let those people who always find faults go down the mountain with me. I would give them a few days to find a buyer. If they can sell it at a higher price, we can all make a profit.”

"Okay, the minority still obeys the majority."

We all know that this kind of thing is thankless, but we have to consider the majority of people. If we don't stick together, we might really be bullied in the future, and then we will regret leaving the mountain.

The old men all walked back. They had already agreed on the way that they must sell all the goods, and if they were not sociable, they would be allowed to go out and make a living on their own.

Qingpingrenyi, some of them have become more and more lively over the years. The village is a whole and it is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed.

"Why don't we go down and take a look?"

"Old Four, how are we going to get down here with our old arms and legs?"

"Walk slowly, we have to go down anyway, if we try to stop them, the kids will probably sneak down.

If only a few of us go down, won’t we be bullied outside? We should all stay together and stick together, that’s the only way to be safe.”

"Yeah, now I can't hold it back any longer."

Several old men sighed. What's wrong with living in the mountains? Although life is hard and food is scarce, it is safe.

The children insisted on going down and could no longer be held back. Seeing Qingping's appearance today, they also wanted to go down the mountain. Since they all wanted to go down, then let them go down. Anyway, this place will still remain, and if they can't live here in the future, they can go up the mountain again.

Now every household in the village is talking about going down the mountain.

Gangzi and his friends said they had been given a piece of land, and it was a very large piece. Although there were a lot of weeds, it was flat, and unlike the mountains, they had to reclaim the land themselves. Even though there was soil, there were a lot of stones in it, and sometimes the pickaxe would be broken.

The older people were reluctant to go down the mountain, but the young people were full of enthusiasm and wanted to go down the mountain at all costs.

Everyone knew that the chieftain had brought a lot of good stuff down the mountain. I didn't know how much he brought back, so I asked Gangzi and the others, and they all said they would know soon.

If you told them how much it was selling for, no one would be confused. But when Gangzi and the others said this, everyone became nervous.

However, Cao Qingping's becoming the clan leader was not just a passing order, but was chosen by everyone, so everyone is willing to trust him.

Although everyone in the village was staying at home, they were all discussing the issue of going down the mountain.

After eating, the father and daughter of the Cao family told their family about the jewelry exchange. "Dad, it doesn't have to cost 60 or 70 yuan to build a house. With so many of us, we can build a house like we did in the village, and everyone can help.

When the weather warms up and the land is reclaimed and cultivated, all the strong laborers, regardless of gender, will work together to remove the soil. The elderly and children can live in the mountains, and our traps outside will prevent even large wild animals from getting in.

We will come to pick them up after the house is built." said the eldest brother.

The second brother shook his head and said, "Brother, that would put the elderly and children in danger. Have you forgotten that more than ten wolves surrounded our village last year when the country was just beginning to develop. If we don't have strong laborers, it would be impossible to survive with only the elderly and children."

Cao Qingping was smoking a pipe on the side. Both sons had their reasons.

"Okay, let's listen to everyone's opinions later."

"Dad, you don't know yet. By then, we will definitely not be able to come to any conclusion and we will still not be able to make a decision."

How could Cao Qingping not know that this would happen?
"Actually, what the boss said is right. If it doesn't work, we can wait until spring and all the strong laborers go out to open up the wasteland. After they come back from farming, half of them will be responsible for the small piece of land on the mountain, and the rest will be responsible for removing the soil. After the autumn harvest, we will build houses together and build as many as we can.

By the next autumn, the entire village, young and old, will be able to move down there."

After he made up his mind, he felt more at ease. He let them argue first and then make the decision himself. Otherwise, there would definitely be people who would not agree.

"Dad, Gangzi and the others were talking about the big farm. I heard they have some machinery. Should we go look for it? The land Comrade Zhang said was given to us is not far from the farm.

We can learn from them. Their farms with so much land can harvest food in one year. We can definitely do it with so many people."

"Really? Girl, why didn't you tell me when you were at the foot of the mountain? We don't have to rush up the mountain. I still have to go down."

When it comes to farming, Cao Qingping attaches great importance to it.

"Dad, aren't you in a hurry to come back to discuss the jewelry?"

"Dad, I'll go with you down the mountain this time to take a look," said Boss Cao.

"I'll go as well."

"Why are so many people going? You two can stay at home, we can't do without men. Those who are willing in our village can go one by one, so as to avoid being blamed. We can discuss what to do downstairs then."

The two sons of the Cao family were filial and obedient. They just wanted to go, but they would not hesitate if their father did not agree.

"Dad, do you think we can go ask the county magistrate for help? It's nothing else, just help us with the house. Actually, it just means finding bricks and tiles for us. There are so many of us, so it's no problem to build a house for a whole family in one day."

"I don't think so." Cao Qingping said with a frown.

"Why don't you try it and see? Maybe it will work. You can sell it to us, or lend it to us."

The second son of the Cao family smiled and said, "Dad, can we build a big house with blue bricks and tiles?"

"You have a nice idea. A big brick and tile house? Then people will miss us."

"Little sister, my brother and I can't go down the mountain, you go down and ask the locals how much the adobe house costs compared to a brick and tile house? If the difference is not much, we can build a house. It will definitely be more than the adobe house. Ten or twenty years longer, won't it be worth it by then?"

Everyone knows that Cao Laoer is right, they just fear being too conspicuous.
