Chapter 1622 Village Chief Supervisor
The biggest expense for the villagers now is these hoes.

These are not self-sufficient. If they break, they need to be bought in the town. Now that Song Chen said this, it can be regarded as helping them solve a big problem.

As long as the village chief tells everyone the news, everyone will be happier.

The two people didn't hold back when they were talking. The villagers also heard it. They also knew that when it came to building roads, they used to bring their own tools to whatever they did together in the village. If something broke or was useless, it was all their own responsibility. .

They thought it would be the same this time. Although they knew that building roads cost the most money, when they thought of the high wages, they gritted their teeth and didn't feel bad.

But I didn’t expect that such a good thing would happen now, and everyone was more motivated.

Before the official start of construction, the village chief even specially visited Song Chen.

"There is a man who knows Feng Shui in our village. I asked Mr. Feng Shui to help me check it out. Construction can start in the next two days, but it will have to wait until after ten o'clock. On the day of construction, you will be paid [-] cents per person. That’s it.”

When they work in the countryside, they basically get up to work at five or six o'clock. If they start after ten o'clock, it can only be regarded as half a day's work.

They themselves are embarrassed to take someone else's whole day's wages.

"After ten o'clock?"

Song Chen had no intention of looking at these things before. She had always felt that she was the one who could conquer nature, but since the village chief was kind enough to help her find someone to look at, she couldn't offend the village chief's face.

"Then let's start work tomorrow. After ten o'clock, after ten o'clock, we will still calculate it according to one day's wages."

Saving fifty cents alone is nothing to her, but it is very useful to the villagers.

If she gives out [-] cents per person, the villagers will only be more grateful to her. In fact, she will gain more.

After all, this is also related to the income of the villagers. Since Song Chen thinks it doesn't matter, then as the village chief, he can't keep saying no.

However, he also had an idea in mind. He must make it clear to the villagers later that he must help people work well, otherwise he would not be able to get the wages.

Don't talk about how much it costs to work outside. What he knows is that wages outside are not that high at all. The highest is [-] cents a day, regardless of food.

Even the people in their village have no way to find work outside.

It takes several hours to walk from the village to the town. If you rush early, you will have to set off in the middle of the night. After walking there and doing things for a day, you will not have anywhere to eat, and you will have to walk for several hours to get home.

People are really going to be tortured to death.

This is why people in this village rarely go out. It's because the transportation is too inconvenient.

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, the village chief found a letter of firecrackers from somewhere and lit them before starting the construction. When the firecrackers went off, the villagers were as excited as if they had been given chicken blood.

In addition to the firecrackers, the village chief also paid respects in a decent manner, and Song Chen also took the incense and bowed three times.

After all this was done, the villagers got to work.

Song Chen stood aside, looking at their excited expressions, and couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Tao was also among these people. Although he was young, his performance was no worse than the others, and Song Chen discovered that this young man really had some leadership skills.

Several of them worked together, and Xiao Tao's arrangements were very reasonable. Everyone followed his arrangements, and things went extremely smoothly.

The village chief was old and was afraid that he would delay things, so he did not join in. However, his son worked there, and the village chief basically helped with the logistics.

Song Chen looked for a while and finally found the village chief.

Now that the village chief can speak some simple Mandarin, it will be no problem for them to have some normal communication. "Village chief, how about you help me supervise the work here for the next 20 days?"

The village chief had no objection at all, "Foreman, yes, I also want to watch from here."

Even if Song Chen didn't say anything, he would still be worried and would always be here to watch.

After all, this was a matter closely related to their village, and he had to keep an eye on it to prevent any trouble.

Song Chen understood what he meant as soon as she heard this, but she would never let others work for her in vain.

He took out ten dollars directly from his body and said, "Just take this money and treat it as hard work."

She didn't say she would give him a salary, but she would give him some hard work pay.

After all, the treatment is actually similar to that of their cooks.

But the village chief refused to accept it at all, "This won't work, I can't take it."

"My son works on the construction site and can make money."

"No, I want it."

The village chief was almost incoherent with his anxiety, but Song Chen was equally persistent.

"You, the village chief, really think about the people in the village. You can let your aunt cook for you, but you hold her down in order to let other people in the village have income. I know all this. Now I am officially asking you to help me watch here, and you must be paid."

Song Chen was not the kind of person to say polite words, so he directly stuffed the money into the village chief's pocket.

"I can't keep an eye here every day. Although I trust the people in our village, there can be no problems with the requirements. You must comply with the requirements, otherwise the construction of this road will be meaningless."

Song Chen also knew that it was not just about paying wages to build the road.

"If I need any materials, I'll ask you to go to the town to help me purchase them. This money is considered as a reserve fund for the purchase, so you should keep it first."

After speaking, Song Chen took out another envelope, and she put almost 1000 yuan in it.

This 1000 yuan is a huge sum of money in this small mountain village.

Except for the money left by Song Chen last time, no one else in their village had ever seen so much money at once.

"If there are working villagers who need money urgently, you can also spend it from here. I will come probably once every three to five days."

At present, many things are inconvenient here. She also needs to go to Dongzhou to buy some materials that are not available in the town. While they are building roads, she has to start preparing for the construction of the laboratory.

These building materials are not available anytime and anywhere like in the 21st century. Some of them have to wait for a while, so she needs to reserve them in advance.

The village chief looked at the thick envelope in front of him and didn't dare to take it for a moment.

"This money is too much, I dare not accept it..."

How dare he keep so much money at home.

Although the people in the village are relatively simple, but...but...

Song Chen also understood his worries, but if she didn't keep the money, it wouldn't be easy for her... She couldn't come here every day...
