I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 14 Hiring People
In fact, the real purpose is not this.

He left a number for future tourism. If it happens, he will make a gimmick of riding a desert boat to attract tourists.

Although this old man seemed to be in urgent need of money, he did not choose to sell the camel directly for money, but tried his best to find a good buyer for the camel. From this point, it can be seen that this old man really likes camels.

It doesn’t matter if all the camels are sold out in the end.

Camels and camels generally know each other.

You can also trouble him to introduce other camels.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Chen Mu, his eyes finally fell on the sleeve that was wet by the little camel, and he reported a series of numbers.

Chen Mu quickly wrote it down. Before leaving, he thought about it, took out a red ticket from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"I'll buy it some sea buckthorn with this money."

Although I can't afford it, the little camel is really spiritual.

The old man did not refuse, took the money, and said seriously: "I will buy sea buckthorn for one of the hundred."

Only then did Chen Mu feel relieved, and after patting the little camel's head again, he drove back to the store.

Duoji was in the store now. When he saw him coming back, he hurried out to help unload the goods.

"No, Duoji, these things don't need to be unloaded for now."

He walked to the grocery room, pushed out the bicycle he rode in high school, and prepared to go back to Shuiqiao Village to borrow a mule cart from Uncle Shuanzi.

But because it had not been oiled for too long, the chain rattled, and it fell off before I even took two steps.

He looked so embarrassed.

Duoji was amused and pushed his car over: "Brother Chen Mu, you can ride my car."

He also made a joke: "Your old car broke down halfway, and Brother Chen Mu has to carry it on his back and walk home!"

Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder and pretended to be fierce: "If you tease the boss again like this, be careful I will deduct your salary."

Duoji smiled and took the senior car without fear.

Only then did Chen Mu realize that it might be because of having a salary, or it might be because of the practice of selling goods during this period, or it might be because of planting trees every day, the young man in front of him is much more confident, and he is no longer the fearful look he was before. up.

Riding on the bike, Chen Mu kicked the wheels fast.

After arriving at Shuiqiao Village, Chen Mu went directly to Uncle Shuanzi's house.

Uncle Shuanzi's house is completely different from the surrounding neighbors.

Their house only has one room and a mule tent. The walls are made of stones. The door is also a dilapidated wooden door with a crack in the middle and a lock that looks like it is unlocked.

One look and you can tell that this family is very poor.

In fact it is.

Dad Chen told me that Uncle Shuanzi had a high fever when he was five years old. Since then, his brain reaction has been half a beat slower than that of ordinary people. When his parents were still alive, in order to give Uncle Shuanzi a living skill, they Taught him the skills of driving carts and raising mules.

In addition, the people in the village are kind-hearted, so they usually come to him when they need to catch a car or transport something.

Although I stumbled a lot, I managed to live like this.

Coupled with the annual poverty subsidy, at least I won't be hungry in normal times, and I can buy some meat occasionally to satisfy my cravings.

It's just that after the road repairs were completed a few years ago, the traffic was much more convenient than before, and the life of Uncle Shuanzi and his wife suddenly became worse.

When he arrived at the place, Chen Mu got out of the car. Although he could see someone in the yard through the crack of the door, he still knocked on the door and shouted loudly, "Uncle Shuanzi, Auntie, is anyone at home?"

"Hey, here we come."

It was Aunt Shuanzi who opened the door. Her eyes were squinted, and when she looked at people, her eyes were not in the middle. People who have never seen it would be easily shocked when they saw it.

Chen Mu greeted him with a normal expression: "Aunt Shuanzi, is the mule cart at home? I want to rent it to haul something."

"Xiao Mu, come on, come in and wait. Shuanzi is going to help Third Brother Zhang pull fertilizer into the field, and he will be back soon."

Aunt Shuanzi took a glass of water and put it in front of Chen Mu. Her right hand, which was missing half of her arm, came into view.

Chen Mu received it, took a sip, picked up the candy, and teased the two children of Shuanzi's family.

In fact, although Uncle Shuanzi was called Uncle, he was only older, and his actual age was six or seven years older than Chen Mu.

So the two children in front of me are only five or six years old.

Although they had met these two little guys before, they were still timid when they saw Chen Mu. Under the temptation of Tang, the two little guys only persisted for a while, and then obediently began to call Brother Chen Mu.

They are all from the same village, seniority is called a particularity.

Uncle Chen Wu, Dad Chen, and Uncle Shuan Zi are from the same generation.

He and the two children on the ground are of the same generation.

Looking at the clothes on the two children, and then at the yard where only the middle was coated with cement and the rest was still dirt, Chen Mu suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

When he was five years old, he rode a pram on the road and went to find his grandfather who was at work.

If Uncle Shuanzi, who went to other villages to help that day, hadn't discovered him and stopped him, otherwise...

In those years, human traffickers were rampant and were robbing children on the streets.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Uncle Shuanzi drove the mule cart into the yard and was very happy to see Chen Mu.

"Xiao Mu, here we come."

"Uncle." Chen Mu stood up and greeted.

Aunt Shuanzi stepped forward and patted Shuanzi on the shoulder: "What are you rushing in for? Xiao Mu borrows the mule cart to help."

Chen Mu took out [-] from his pocket, and handed it over: "Uncle Shuanzi, I want to get something, and I think I'm going to borrow it for a day."

Uncle Shuanzi didn't answer, and stammered: "No, no money, uncle, uncle's car, the car is for you, no, no money."

Because of his slow reaction, he had to suffer more to earn money and have enough to eat, so although he was only a few years older than Chen Mu, his appearance seemed to be completely older than Chen Mu.

"That's right, I'll use a car for you. What does he want as an uncle?"

Looking at the sincere couple in front of him, Chen Mu blinked, and an idea came to his mind.

In recent years, bicycles have become more and more popular, and there are fewer and fewer places that need to use mule carts. The last time I called, I heard Dad Chen talking about this.

Thinking that his forest farm was still short of people, Uncle Shuan Zi was slow to respond, but he was willing to work and would not waste any effort.

Aunt Shuanzi is also capable and willing to work. Although her arm was crippled by the firecrackers, her work is no worse than that of a person with two hands.

After considering the words in his heart, Chen Mu suddenly spoke.

"Uncle, Aunt, do you want to come and help me plant trees? Uncle gets 70 a day, and Aunt gets 60 a day. Do you agree?"

He said sincerely: "I am very short of people to help plant trees now. I have to clear the land in April next year, but I am alone and can't plant much at all. Uncle and aunt, you must help me."

The embolus reacts slowly, so it must be responded directly.

Instead, Aunt Shuanzi pulled him and said sincerely: "Xiao Mu, if you need help planting trees, as long as you ask, your uncle and I will help you without paying, but if you ask us to go with a salary, then We really can't go."

"Auntie knows that you are kind-hearted, but we are elders, so we can't take advantage of you, a younger generation."

But how could Chen Mu give up.

Although part of it is to help Uncle Shuanzi's family, the main reason is that he lacks people to plant trees.

In the end, after all the talking, the two finally agreed.

However, the two of them took the initiative to reduce their wages to 55 and 51 days without relenting at all.

Chen Mu had no choice but to agree.

After he agreed with the two of them that he would go to work tomorrow and that he could bring his two children with him, he put his bicycle on the mule cart and returned to the store with the mule cart.

No way, rural children are so versatile.
