Seeing people from Dashi Village robbing them of work, Liu Guiyong felt somewhat resentful.
However, he is not from the original village of Dashi Village. Now that the villagers have come forward, it is naturally not easy to offend others on other people's territory.
Liu Guiyong secretly complained that his son couldn't hide the matter, and someone asked about the salary, but he was honest.
Seeing Lao Tzu staring at him, Liu Wu could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
Liu Wu is a straightforward person. He was stopped several times and was lectured, saying that Chen Xiaomi is not good, and working in the Chen family may not get him any favors. At that time, he will work for nothing and will not get a penny. He also said that Chen Xiaomi's six relatives did not recognize him, and that the members of the Chen family were often beaten by him. They worked in the Chen family, and they might be beaten up at some point.
Liu Wu was not happy with what he heard, so he argued with others, saying that the wages are paid in cash every day, and the pay is quite a lot, so they can't suffer.
Liu Wu really thinks that Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin are nice people. It's unbelievable that the villagers scolded them like this, and being pushed around, they said a lot of things that shouldn't be said, and it was too late to take them back.
The few villagers that Lu Lin selected were relatively honest. There were originally many villagers who came here, and there were a few of them who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
Lu Lin chose those who had a good reputation and a difficult family. They got money and worked very hard.
People in this village work together with people from other villages, and there is a sense of competition to some extent. People in this village don't want to be squeezed out by people from other villages, and people from other villages don't want to lose their jobs.
It took another ten days of work, and the house was almost built. At the same time, the donkey shed, chicken coop, and duck coop were completed earlier, so Lu Lin arranged for several people to dig the cellar.
After the cellar was dug, Chen Xiaomi asked several people to lay the floor tiles.
Several villagers felt that there was no need to spend so much money, but since the host family didn't care about the money, they naturally couldn't object.
Chen Xiaocai has been very busy recently. He has to help Lu Lin, feed the chickens and ducks... and watch Chen Xiaomai so that he cannot run around.
After being separated from the Chen family, few people talked to Chen Xiaocai, but since so many people were working at home, those villagers would chat with Chen Xiaocai.
Many villagers are interested in Chen Xiaomi's source of money for buying donkeys and building houses, and they can't help but ask round and round.
The house is almost built, and it is time to consider building a kang.
On the day when the kang was built, several people from the same village and other villages who worked in the Chen family were there. They knew the benefits of the kang. Several people who worked in the Chen family said that they would not be paid for three days and wanted to see how the kang was built. , Chen Xiaomi agreed.
As soon as Chen Xiaomi's work was over, the helpers of Chen's family became popular. Everyone in the village asked a few people to repair the kang, and their worth doubled all of a sudden.
Many villagers regret that they did not have a good relationship with Chen Xiaomi before, otherwise, now that they have learned the skill of building a kang, they can earn some money.
…
Zhang Cheng was smoking in the room, feeling very bad.
Several people in the village have learned how to build a kang, and they have been very busy recently.
Zhang Cheng complained in his heart that Lu Lin would rather teach his skills to people from other villages than to people from his own village. The reputation of the kang has spread to the town these days, and the rich families in the town also want to repair the kang. The villagers in the town are comparable to those in the countryside. There is a lot of money, and the few people in the village who can repair have all gone to the town.
Because those people from other villages can also repair kangs, the two groups formed a competitive relationship.
However, because of the large number of clients, even though the two gangs were looking for work in the town at the same time, they lived in peace.
Zhang Cheng thought: If this craft is only known by the villagers, then their family in Dashi Village is the only one.
The people in the village who know how to make kangs are mainly those who worked at Lu Lin's before. Others wanted to join the group, so they were pushed until next year.
Those who work at Chen Xiaomi's place have been very envied recently.
Many rich people in the city are rich, but they are all stingy guys. Most of the villagers will be squeezed when they enter the city. However, few people know the skill of repairing the kang. , The price is very high, so that a few people who know how to go to the city all day long, and those who want to repair the kang in the countryside can only wait first.
Zhang Cheng then went to Lu Lin, blamed him, and taught Waicun the skill of repairing the kang, and Lu Lin stopped him with a word. Lu Lin said, if he hadn't said that there was no one in the village, he wouldn't have to go to other villages to look for it!
Zhang Cheng was so pissed off by Lu Lin that he decided that Lu Lin was just as hopeless as Chen Xiaomi.
What made Zhang Cheng even more angry was Zhang Zhuzi and others who had learned the skills from Lu Lin before. After these people learned the skill of repairing kangs, they went to the city to repair kangs for others, without taking the villagers with them.
For the choice of Zhang Zhuzi and others, Lu Lin is understandable. Everyone has selfishness, and the wealthy households in the village will not feel that they have a lot of rice at home, so they will give it selflessly. The few people in the village who came to help before, It's all difficult for the family. It's hard to find a profitable business. They don't want to recruit people so quickly. Anyway, they have to wait for them to make money for a while.
…
Chen family.
Chen Xiaomi counted the silver and complained to Lu Lin: "There are only nine, two or eight hundred coins left."
Chen Xiaomi originally planned to spend eight taels to repair the house, but he accidentally spent more than ten taels.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi holding the clay pot and counting the silver earnestly, feeling vaguely amused. When Chen Xiaomi was hunting, he was like a tiger, and when he was counting money, he was like a little squirrel.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "With so much money, it's enough for the winter."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "That's true."
Lu Lin planned to sell the last batch of this year's wine in two days. After selling, he could honestly prepare Maodong.
"The room next to it should be ready for people to live in after a few more days," Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded, "Oh", but her ears turned red.
Lu Lin looked at the animal skins next to him, and said, "Are these animal skins going to be sold?"
Chen Xiaomi nodded.
Although selling wine is very profitable, Chen Xiaomi has never slacked off on hunting during this period of time. In Chen Xiaomi's view, hunting is still the foundation of his life, but it is somewhat different from before. I'm a little more cautious and won't provoke some dangerous prey.
Lu Lin looked at the animal skin and said, "Don't sell it, it's better to sew the animal skin on the inside of the clothes to keep you warm. I also want to ask Mrs. Shen to make two pairs of gloves. These animal skins and fur are very good. Handle it well, it should sell for a high price when made into gloves."
"What are gloves?"
Lu Lin stretched out his hand and said, "Gloves are a kind of thing that can be worn on the hands to keep warm. Wearing gloves will prevent frostbite."
Chen Xiaomi tilted her head, and said in a strange way: "The people in your place live really well! There is such a thing."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's okay."
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin and thought to himself: The young master is the young master, what a fool! For a person like him who has to work all day and has no time to spare, isn't it wasteful to wear gloves
…
After the house was built, the matter of "separation" was put on the agenda.
Lu Lin decided to find an opportunity to give Chen Xiaocai an ideological education class.
A few days later, Lu Lin finally got a chance.
"Xiaocai! You are a big kid, you are going to marry a wife and have a baby soon, you can sleep by yourself in the future, you are a man, don't be afraid."
Chen Xiaocai gave Lu Lin a hard look. He is still young, so he doesn't want to marry a wife early.
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaocai and said, "You should know, there will always be a day. In fact, there is nothing wrong with living separately. You sleep in the next room, just you and Mai, and the bed is big. , and won’t be disturbed by your brother’s snoring.”
Chen Xiaocai blushed and said dissatisfied, "Brother doesn't snore!"
Lu Lin tilted his head and said, "If your elder brother doesn't snore, are you the one who snores? That's fine, you sleep next door, and when you fall asleep, it won't affect me and your elder brother. "
Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin depressed, and said, "I don't snore either."
"You're already asleep, how do you know whether to snore?" Lu Lin shook his head and said.
Chen Xiaocai gritted her teeth, stared at Lu Lin, and said, "I will take Maimai to sleep next door, and I will take good care of him."
Lu Lin nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's it! That's good."
After the matter was settled, Lu Lin's mood improved a lot, "The spicy cabbage at home is gone, why don't you go to Grandma Shen to buy some?"
From the beginning of building the house, Lu Lin often bought vegetables with Grandma Shen, and bought a lot of them one after another. At first, it was Lu Lin who went, and then Chen Xiaocai took Chen Mai out. Lu Lin felt that children I still have to have more contact with the outside world, play with playmates of the same age, and be bored at home all day, which is easy to cause autism.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Okay."
"This is for you." Lu Lin grabbed two handfuls of fried chestnuts and gave them to Chen Xiaocai.
In the mountains where Lu Lin often haunts, there are a few chestnut trees. Lu Lin came across them by chance before and collected some in the canteen. Recently, he fried some out. They are snacks anyway. The children here usually eat very little. , this sugar-fried chestnut is very popular.
Lu Lin felt that the people in this place really lived in Baoshan and didn't know it.
Because chestnuts have thorns on the outside, no one eats them here.
Lu Lin saved some in the commissary, and from time to time he would take out a handful to give to the three brothers as snacks, which was very convenient.
Lu Lin originally fried it for side dishes and wheat, but when Xiaomi saw it, Chen Xiaomi brought a lot of chestnuts back from the mountains. The fried chestnuts were stored in the canteen, and they were always hot every time they were taken out, Chen Xiaomi Sometimes when I was hungry, I would ask Lu Lin to ask for it.
"If you meet other children who have a good relationship with you, share some with them," Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaocai frowned, and said, "Why do you want to share it with others?" It's already winter, and the dishes are getting less and less, and from now on, they can only eat the vegetables in the cellar.
Lu Lin frowned, and said, "If you share it with others, they will be willing to play with you!"
Chen Xiaocai puffed her cheeks and said, "They are all stupid, I don't want to play with them."
After all, Chen Xiaocai is a child. Back then, when he just left the Chen family, he wanted to play with the children in the village. However, the children in the village were told by their parents to stay away from him, and some children beat him with stones for a long time. Chen Xiaocai stopped playing with others.
Lu Lin frowned and said, "That's fine, you don't have anyone you want to give away, so just keep it for yourself."
Chen Xiaocai put the chestnuts into his pockets. Lu Lin asked Grandma Shen to sew the pockets. After seeing it, Grandma Shen thought it was quite practical. Shen Chi's clothes were also sewn with pockets.
Chen Xiaocai thought for a while, and thought to himself: If he meets Shen Chi at Shen's house, he can give some to Shen Chi to eat.
Chen Xiaocai has delivered food to Shen's house several times, and the ones with Shen Chi are not bad.
Chen Xiaocai took the task and took Chen Maimai away.
Chen Xiaomai was very excited when he heard that his second brother was going to take him out to play.
At Chen Mai's age, it was the time when he was very active. Chen Mai was in poor health and was detained at home by Chen Xiaomi, but now he was better. Chen Xiaomi also hoped that Chen Mai would go out more often to avoid getting bored.
Grandma Shen saw that Chen Xiaocai and Chen Maimai were coming, and she welcomed them very much.
When the Chen family built a house before, Lu Lin bought a lot of vegetables from Grandma Shen, and Grandma Shen also earned 500 Wen one after another, and the relationship between the two families became much closer.
