Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 229

Qian Feng and Shiliu placed more than 2000 catties of grain in front of the gate of the old yard, put a table, and put a pot of copper coins. Qian Feng also wrote a few large characters and pasted it on a wooden sign, "Recruiting Road Workers" .

Anyone who came to sign up could get [-] catties of food and [-] Wen back on the spot.Of course, there will be wages for daily work afterwards. Although the wages are not high, they are enough to make everyone scramble for the first.Qian Feng had just set it up for half an hour, and most of the men in charge of his village had signed up.

Afterwards, people from other villages rushed over, and Qian Feng also knew which families were particularly poor. When he encountered these families, he would give more money and food.

The next day, he went to several poor villages to set up tables, and asked everyone to help carry the food there.In just two days, he recruited a thousand road workers.Because the new year is coming, everyone has no farm work to do, and anyone who can build roads and earn some money is willing.

From the third day, Qian Feng divided these people into ten teams. Some teams repaired the trails in each village, some repaired the road from the village to the town, and some repaired the road from the town to the county. .

The idea of ​​building roads has long been born in Qian Feng's heart. It rains a lot in the south and the roads in the village are narrow. Every time it rains, you have to walk carefully. Difficult.Although the villagers have a lot of leisure in winter, no one is willing to repair roads.

Although everyone has to walk, no one takes the lead, and no one thinks about building the road. As a result, this road is like this every year. Although everyone complains every year, no one is willing to do it.

Qian Feng took everyone to repair it for a few days, and the village changed a lot, because Qian Feng not only asked everyone to widen the road, but also pulled all the gravel from the stone mountain to pave it.Everyone in the village danced with joy. When walking in the village, they no longer have to worry about dragging a few catties of mud under their feet when it rains, nor are they afraid of accidentally slipping into a ditch.

In the past, everyone complained about Qian Feng, thinking that he only cared about making money for himself, and didn't care about the life and death of the villagers. Now, Qian Feng's move finally blocked their mouths.

The roads from the various villages to the town are rough and rough, and even dragging a cart shakes badly, and there are many big potholes.Normally, the common people complained about repairing the road, but now they finally hoped that Qian Feng would be willing to pay the money.If there is no money, everyone would rather play at home, and no one will repair it.

As for the road from the town to the county, Qian Feng felt that it had to be done slowly and as much as it was repaired, because there were few people going to the county, and when it was all repaired in the future, more and more people would go to the county.As more people walk outside, more and more people will be able to make a living, and the lives of the common people will flourish.

Anyway, where stones should be paved, stones should be paved, and places that should be widened should be widened. Everyone can earn money and get on a good road, and they all work hard.

Road construction is something that benefits the common people. Qian Feng spends his own money to do things that benefit the common people. People who usually speak ill of Qian Feng no longer dare to speak out. They all work honestly and make money steadily.

Qian Feng also took the time to host the housewarming banquet. Although the seats for the banquet were limited, the crowds of people who came to congratulate her almost overwhelmed the courtyard. Everyone just came to pay their respects to Qian Feng's new courtyard, and then came to They ran away after sending a few congratulations. They knew that there were not enough seats, so they didn't even think about being able to drink wedding wine.

Qian Feng knew that this was everyone's wishes, and he took all the money that everyone sent for congratulations. If they didn't accept it, they wouldn't be happy. Anyway, it was only a few pennies. Qian Feng planned to give everyone red envelopes for the New Year when he got it all together.

Seeing that it was the young year, Yang Shi, Ge Taohua, and Pomegranate were busy in the kitchen, planning to cook a sumptuous meal to honor the Stove Lord, and his family members also gathered around the table to have a good time.

At this time, the three of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were kneading dough, and Huier and Mrs. Guo were helping to take care of the children and chatting together.

Yang said with emotion: "Feng'er is really a bodhisattva. I didn't realize that he was willing to spend a lot of money to build roads before. It's just that the money is flowing out like running water. I'm afraid it won't be long before the money will be spent. "

There was a little worry in Yang's emotion. She felt that the money was earned by her son so hard, so spending money so lavishly was just right.It's very beautiful now, but once he runs out of money and becomes poor and empty, those people who are crowding in front of him may disappear in a blink of an eye.

Ge Taohua also had doubts for a long time, so she echoed: "Mother, I told Qian Tong the same way, but Qian Tong said that the second brother wanted to do something real, and he, a brother, would never stop him. Pomegranate , Qian Feng usually listens to you, or you remind him in front of him."

Shiliu was quite proud of hearing this, and everyone thought that Qian Feng listened to her, and she felt very honored.But she was complacent for a while, and then laughed awkwardly, "You guys are mistaken, he has the final say on the major affairs of the family, and I can only follow him around. He also said that if I don't listen to him If he does, he will cut me off!"

Hui'er snickered, "How does Qian Feng usually 'cut' you?"

Pomegranate blushed and said, "Pick your butt! Make me stand!"

Everyone laughed for a while.

"And..." She was about to talk about the last punishment, but suddenly she paused again, because Qian Feng said that they are not allowed to mention their intercourse to anyone, it is "privacy"!
Since then, pomegranate has understood that "privacy" means sexual intercourse between husband and wife.

Huier also asked the bottom line, and asked with a smile: "Aside from being kicked out and punished to stand, what else is there?"

Shiliu pouted and said, "It's just 'privacy', I can't tell you the details."

Ge Taohua then said: "Left and right are just tricks to punish children such as smacking their buttocks and punishing them to stand. The second brother will not be really angry with you. You should remind him a few times at least in front of him. After all, money is a big deal, so where do you stay?" When the flowers at home are empty every day, people leave to cool down the tea, and our family will have a sad life in the future, so no one will think of helping us."

"Oh." Shiliu nodded thoughtfully.In fact, she felt that Qian Feng must have thought about this. He always had long-term plans. Could it be that this time he got carried away and forgot about it?

Qian Feng was drinking tea and playing chess with the teacher in the town at this time, because the private school was also closed, and the teacher's family had already moved to the town, and the private school was their home, and they would not go back to their hometown during the New Year.Seeing Qian Feng leading people to build roads and distributing his family's property, the teacher felt that a person like him is really rare, so he invited Qian Feng over to drink tea and play chess, and by the way, talk about the lack of books in the private school.
