This stepmother is a bit crazy

On the second day of his holiday, Jiang Shan immediately bought a ticket from the village chief and went back.

Jiang Zhishu, who was working in the fields, learned that his son had suddenly returned, dropped his hoe, and ran home.

The three sons have not come back since they went to school. They are busy making money, saying that when they make money, they will take it.

You came back without saying a word. Didn't something happen?
Feeling uneasy, Jiang Zhishu ran home in one breath.

I saw my youngest daughter Jiang Xi, holding a bunch of red fruits and eating happily at the door.

I slowed down my pace suddenly, raised my heart in my throat, and let go of it, comforting myself that it should be fine.

Entering the house, I caught a glimpse of my old partner and was completely relieved.

"What? Are you coming back to recruit bricklayers? We want to go there too?"

This shocking Jiang Zhishu was a little confused for a moment.

"Yes, Dad. Xiaoran and Zheng Hao have set up a company to build houses. This is the recruitment condition. Dad, I have something to say first. I don't want anyone who gossiped about Xiaoran. We can't give it to anyone. Xiao Ran recruits some mouse droppings. You and your mother go there. If you want to go to the construction site, go to the construction site. If you don’t want to go, go to the farm built by Xiao Ran. We want to go to school. We have recruited more people. We have people to help and watch, so we can go to school. Don’t worry.”

This makes sense, Jiang Zhishu nodded.

My mood is inexplicably complicated. I am definitely happy, but besides being happy, I am also a little reluctant.

"You don't have to say it, father, it's hard for you to talk about this. I'll do it. I'll do it."

Li Daye readily took over the offending job.

Who is she afraid of? Women can't scold her, but men don't dare to do anything.

She was different from Jiang Zhishu. When she heard that she was going to live in the capital, she was overjoyed. She was even more confident about leaving. No one would be afraid.

At noon, there was a long queue at Secretary Jiang’s house.

Going to the capital, a salary of 50 yuan, food and accommodation, and even travel expenses are all included. Everyone wants to go to such a good thing.

But some people just can't go.

Those who couldn't go were cursing at the side.
In the village, other college students who came back from vacation read the contract and helped explain it.

Those who were illiterate and had doubts were completely reassured, signed and pledged their names, and went back to arrange their homes and pack their things.

In just a few hours, Jiang Linran had recruited all the thirty people he wanted.

Those who were not recruited stayed at the door of Secretary Jiang’s house and refused to leave.

The village chief came out: "You guys go back first. This is the first batch. The second batch will be recruited soon. You also know what I, Zhao Mingquan, am like in the village."

"Then can we register our names first?"

Jiang Shan discussed it with the village chief and nodded in agreement.

After finally seeing them off, Jiang Shan helped his parents pack their luggage.

The village chief strolled back to look at his house.

Take out the key, open the door and go in.

Although someone was cleaning it, the unoccupied house still felt cold.

He walked into the kitchen, took out a broom, and swept the spider webs hanging between the tiles and purlins.

"Village Chief Zhao."

A hoarse voice sounded behind him.

The village chief turned around.

Zhao Shijiang put his hands in his sleeves and hunched his shoulders. The front of his clothes was dirty because it had not been washed for too long.

The hair on my head has almost turned white.

"Zhao Shijiang, long time no see. How is your mother?"

Zhao Shijiang looked behind him, took his hand out of his sleeve, reached under the front hem, and took out a bottle of white wine from under the tattered coat.

"Can you take me there? I know that my age does not meet your requirements. I only need half of the salary. Can it be done?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment, looking at the worn shoes with toes exposed under his feet.

"You, if you leave, what will happen to your mother and your children?"

Speaking of Zhao Shijiang, he was three or four years younger than him.

But looking at him now, no one would have any objection if he was ten years older than him.

His family was poor and he had never been married. Six or seven years ago, he was introduced to a widow. The widow came to him for a year and gave birth to three cubs, but she passed away in childbirth.

There are three children left, two are normal and one has a leg problem, and they are often sick.The family, which was already poor, was burdened by the disease every year and had no food left.

But on Xiao Ran's side, the rules have been set and cannot be broken.

"Hammer, file, these two brothers will help their mother take care of the hammer. Village chief, you should do a good deed and save the lives of our family. I will kneel down to you."

Zhao Shijiang said that he was about to kneel down.

The village chief hurriedly took him with both hands.

"Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow. Don't make any noise when you go back."

The village chief took out five dollars from his pocket and put it into his hand.

"I don't want it, I don't want it."

Zhao Shijiang put the wine bottle on the ground, turned around and ran outside, reaching the threshold. The shoes on his feet tripped on the threshold, and his feet went out, but the shoes were in the same place.

He was afraid that the village chief would chase him, so he picked it up and ran away without putting it on.

The village chief felt sour in his heart.

Go back and discuss with Jiang Zhishu and his son.

Jiang Zhishu, who didn't know the situation there, didn't say anything. Jiang Shan pondered for a moment: "Take the mason uncle with you. If the construction site can't work, let him go to the farm. Anyway, the wages are the same."

three days later.

In the biting cold wind, the village chief led everyone, carrying their own bedding rolls and luggage, and strode out of Hewanzi Village with everyone's warm greetings.

Walk halfway.

A car stopped in front of them.

"Old Zhao."

The people in the car opened the door and came out, smiling and saying hello.

"Secretary Wang. Oh, no, it should be called the town chief.'

"It's all the same, walk and talk, I know you are in a hurry to catch the train."

The village chief smiled bitterly, he didn't think he had anything to talk about with him.

"It's good that you have a good time in the capital and haven't forgotten the folks in the village."

Secretary Wang glanced at the group of people following him.

"Please go back and tell Jiang Linran that Lianhua Town welcomes her to come back to set up factories and companies."

When everyone heard this, they laughed in their hearts.

"Okay, I will definitely bring the words."

Secretary Wang, who sensed his bad tone, pretended not to notice.

He talked as he walked, and followed him almost to the train station, then got on the train and left.

The train clattered forward.

They had never traveled far or taken a train before, and they talked excitedly about their upcoming life.

Zong Shaocheng, who had just retired from the army and was going back to his hometown, became interested in what these men said.

He stood up, took out his cigarette, came to the village chief's chair, and handed the cigarette over: "Are you going to work in the capital?"

"Yes, 50 yuan a month includes food and accommodation."

A villager replied happily.

50 yuan was higher than their salary in the team. Zong Shaocheng looked back at his other two comrades and decided to give it a try.

He took out the matches and lit a cigarette for the village chief.

The village chief shook his dry pipe,

"I smoke this. If you have something to say, say it."

"Row."

Zong Shaocheng didn't feel embarrassed and touched his head: "The three of us are veterans who have just changed jobs and want to work with you."

"But we have already found everyone."
