My village can't be like this

Chapter 507 Announcement
On the second day, the snow continued to fall, with no intention of stopping.

But even so, it doesn't have any impact on everyone. They are all warming up by the fire at home anyway, and it doesn't seem to matter whether it's snowing or not.

After dinner, everyone ran to the village without Zhang Jianwen's notification, because the fire pit in the village committee lobby was always burning.

This time it wasn't Zhang Jianwen and the others who had made a fuss in the past, but the older men in the village.

On weekdays, they were used to setting up places to talk about the mountains, but it was difficult to gather at anyone's house in this freezing winter, and it was also taboo to do so during the twelfth lunar month, so they could only stay at their own homes.

But they all know that today the village will distribute the prey brought back yesterday.

So early in the morning, they all came to the lobby of the village committee and took the initiative to light the fire pit.

In this way, not only old men like them can have a place to gather together.

And after noon, everyone went to the fire pit and it was still hot.

The firepit is huge, and even though many people come, there is always room for everyone to sit around.

Before everyone arrived, the firepit had already started to get lively, but it was divided into several circles at the same time.

They are all divided according to age, one group is sixty or seventy years old, one group is forty or fifty years old, the remaining young children are one group, and there are even some teenagers who are forming a group by themselves.

Although everyone is gathered around the same fire pit, they are all in their own channels, talking about their own topics.

But occasionally, cross-talk incidents occur. A few people say something nice to me, and suddenly the people next to me come over and chime in.

But it doesn't look out of place at all, but more harmonious.

Compared with yesterday, today is more lively. After all, everyone was on the mountain yesterday, and only the remaining old people in the village stayed here.

The people living nearby also generously provided hot tea to everyone.

In fact, you just fill the teapot at home with water and bring it over, and then bring some tea leaves.

After the water in the teapot is boiled in the fire pond, it can be brewed directly on site.

There are still some potatoes and sweet potatoes left that Zhang Jianwen brought yesterday, but someone else brought them today.

Some naughty little children were ordered by adults not to play outside in the snow, so they could only lie down by the fire pit, holding a small stick and leaning on potatoes and sweet potatoes.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jianwen saw that people were almost here, so he sent Erwa and a few restless little guys to notify those who had not come yet.

After everyone has arrived, we can continue what happened yesterday without last night.

However, there was no rush to distribute yesterday's prey to everyone. Instead, the bonuses were distributed first to the village groups that got first, second, and third place yesterday.

Zhang Jianguo didn't come, so Zhang An went up to get the money, no more, no less, a full thousand yuan.

After getting the money, Zhang An divided the money with everyone on the spot under the envy of others.

Although one thousand yuan seems like a lot, there were a total of twelve people in their group yesterday, so it was more than eighty yuan per person.

But this is already very good. Everyone is very happy to get the money. Even though it is only more than 80 yuan, it will take several days to work out to get this amount of wages.

And yesterday they just ran out and walked around like they were playing, so the money felt a little easy and a little surprising to everyone.

"Zhang An, you don't need to share this money with me. I'm just going to have fun with you. If you guys are willing to take me with you, I'm already very happy. How can I still share your money?"

When Zhang An handed him the money, Chen Ze immediately waved his hand and refused.

In his opinion, he does not belong to the village, nor is he a member of a group. He was very satisfied with being able to follow everyone to Hushan yesterday, so naturally he is not willing to share the money with everyone.

It's not that he doesn't look down on these tens of dollars. After all, he participated in the whole process yesterday. This bonus is different from the ordinary tens of dollars.

It’s just that there’s only so much money, if you give him more, others will get less.

"Xiao Chen, don't give up on your mother-in-law and mother-in-law. This is not like you on ordinary days. We all went together yesterday, so everyone has a share of the money. Take it quickly. Maybe you don't like this little money. If so, We won’t take you with us next time.”

Zhang Jianjun saw Chen Ze's excuse, so he stared at Chen Ze and said, others also echoed Zhang Jianjun.

Almost all of the group were relatives of Zhang An's family, so they were all familiar with Chen Ze.

"Oh, uncle, if you say that, I won't be polite."

Seeing Uncle Zhang say this, Chen Ze smiled and stopped refusing.

Of course he knew that Zhang Jianjun was joking with him, but he also knew that this meant that he was not regarded as an outsider, so if he continued to push the envelope, it would appear that he was not.

"Haha, don't be discouraged if you didn't get the bonus this year. We will continue next year. If everyone prepares well then, there will definitely be a chance."

For the groups that did not get ranked, Zhang Jianwen comforted them.

Everyone originally thought it would only be done once this year, but they never expected that it would continue next year.

This time, the disappointment on their faces slowly faded away, and they were all thinking about making good preparations next year and competing again.

"Okay, without further ado, let's get to what everyone is most concerned about."

Bonuses will only be given to people in three groups, and have nothing to do with the remaining groups.

But distributing prey is different. Everyone in each group who participates will have a share. This is what everyone cares about the most.

"Before I send it to you, let me tell you the total result yesterday. All the things brought back by everyone yesterday, a total of more than 580 animals, were distributed to everyone. Each of our families can share it. When it reaches six, there will be some left at the end.”

Zhang Jianwen took their statistics book yesterday and informed everyone of everyone's total gains yesterday.

Originally, everyone thought that three or four to each family this year would be enough. After all, we only went out for one day yesterday, so no matter how good the harvest was, it would not be much better.

But when they heard the numbers from his mouth, they realized that each family could get so much. This was an unexpected surprise this year.

"But the remaining ones are not enough to distribute to everyone, so I decided not to divide them. I am going to take out the remaining part and give some to each tenant in Cuntou Yard. The last one Part of it is used to send it upward.”

Zhang Jianwen paused and continued. Whether it is to be sent to the tenants of Dongli Courtyard or to the Forestry Bureau, it is Zhang Jianwen's plan after he made the statistics yesterday.

Zhang An agrees with this, especially sending some to the tenants in Dongli Courtyard. This is very necessary.

After all, people have paid money to live in the village, and they must feel that this place is different from other places.

So before the New Year, sending something to others in the name of the village will make people feel very human, and it is not just a simple monetary transaction.

When everyone heard Zhang Jianwen's arrangement, none of them had any objections.

After all, whether we can continue to do it next year depends on the permission from above, so it is inevitable to take good care of it.

As for the urbanites in Dongli Courtyard, everyone has no objections. Part of the money everyone can get this year is contributed by others.

Having tasted the benefits this year, everyone is even more looking forward to next year, so they all support Zhang Jianwen’s decision.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's start with one group and come up to get the things by yourself. But first, let's make sure that no matter who gets the things, they are all big and small, but they haven't been weighed on a scale. The weight of each family will definitely vary, so don’t mess with me after you get it, otherwise, there won’t be any next year.”

Zhang Jianwen said these words to a small number of small-minded women in the village. Having lived in the same village for so many years, he knew the temperaments of the old and young in the village very clearly.

Don't think this is a distasteful thing to say, but if they don't say it, they will compare it among themselves in private, and then they will quarrel.

When everyone heard this, regardless of whether they had ideas or not, they all said no.

Just kidding, even if you get a smaller amount than others this year, you still got it.

But with what Zhang Jianwen said, whoever acts like a monster will probably not be able to get it next year.

Moreover, everyone is familiar with Zhang Jianwen’s temperament in holding a bowl of water evenly, and they know that even if what he takes may be smaller than others, it will not be much smaller.

Ever since, everyone began to share the prey brought back yesterday in a lively manner.

There was no picking and choosing, and everyone who went up was picked up next to each other. Because it was early in the morning, Zhang Jianwen had already sent someone over to separate all the things and tie them together with straw.

Finally, when the sixth group arrived, Zhang An and all of them went up to get their share, but Chen Ze did not go up.

"Xiao Chen, hurry up and get it. Don't you want it?"

Seeing that Chen Ze was still where he was, Zhang Jianwen called him with a smile.

"Ah, I'm not from the village, but I also have a share?"

At first, Chen Ze thought that this matter had nothing to do with him. Li Hongbin could get it, after all, his family had settled in.

And he himself was just a tenant in the village, so he didn't go up.

But when he heard Zhang Jianwen calling him, Chen Ze realized that the village elder had actually counted him among them.

"Of course there is, otherwise I would have let you run out with me in vain."

Logically speaking, Chen Ze really couldn't get a share, but in the year since Chen Ze and his old man lived in the village, no matter who in the village had trouble, they would take the initiative to help like everyone else in the village.

No matter big or small, Zhang Jianwen always took it into consideration, so he did not regard Chen Ze as an outsider. Many people in the village were the same and almost forgot that he was just someone who came to rent a yard.

Moreover, Zhang Jianwen also has some small thoughts in his heart.

He knew that Chen Ze's family conditions were unusual. When something happened in the village in the future, he would inevitably find someone to help him, so it would definitely be the best if he could make good friends with him in advance.

After all, Chen Ze has a good relationship with Zhang An. It is their personal relationship and has little to do with the village.

"Then thank you, uncle village chief, and thank you all."

Chen Ze was very happy to get the prey. What he wanted was not these things, but the feeling of being treated as one of his own.

"Let's talk about the deer that a group of people caught last night. After discussion, the village will raise these deer, so for one group, the village decided to give out two thousand yuan as a reward, and the deer raising will happen in the future. All the profits will be put into the dividends given to everyone. Of course, there is a prerequisite. The cost of raising deer will naturally come from the collective funds. If you have any opinions, you can speak out now."

The previous things are all trivial matters to the village, but the later matter of raising deer is more important because it involves the misappropriation of funds.

So Zhang Jianwen put this matter to the end, and also took advantage of everyone being here to solicit everyone's opinions.

"Who can have an opinion on this matter? Village chief, keep it. When I cut grass to feed the cattle in the future, I will also cut some for these deer."

As soon as Zhang Jianwen mentioned this matter, he got a response from the villagers.

"Yes, village chief, these deer are big treasures. We have to raise them, and we have to raise more and more of them. Then we can not only cut the antler, but also sell the deer meat."

"Anyway, I don't have any objection. Our village is used to raising cows, horses, and pigs. I don't know what it's like to raise deer."

"Foster it, village chief. From now on, when my children go to herd cattle after school, let him herd the deer together."

Suddenly, everyone's opinion was to raise these deer. It had never happened before in the village when they had the same opinion. After all, every time when everyone's opinions were asked for, there would be at least two different voices.

It seems that everyone is extremely supportive of deer farming.

"Then it's settled, we not only have to raise this deer, but we have to raise it to a bigger size. However, you don't have to worry about cutting grass to feed the deer and herding the deer, because the village has decided that after the deer park is built, , we will find someone in the village to be responsible for raising deer, and we will pay them monthly wages. We are still discussing this matter. If you have any ideas, you can talk to us first."

Seeing everyone's surprisingly unanimous opinions, Zhang Jianwen's old face wrinkled with laughter.

When the people around the fire pond heard that the village was going to raise wages every month and find someone to take charge of raising deer, they immediately exploded.

This means that as long as you are selected by the village, you will be no different from someone who has a job. You can get a salary every month, and you no longer have to farm with your face turned to the loess and your back turned to the sky.

So many people quickly said they were willing. After all, this was a rare opportunity.

And this is much better than working outside. You can take care of your family and children in the village.

"Since everyone has this idea, let's hold an interview directly after we build the deer park. This way everyone will have a chance and compete fairly."

Zhang Jianwen would not agree to anyone in this situation. After all, such a big matter cannot be left in the hands of just anyone.
