Chapter 156: Vigorous Construction
This handsome young man ran around like a monkey at the bottom of the valley for a long time, and finally grabbed the village chief's hand. He was so excited.
"Uncle, thank you for trusting me. Don't worry, I will definitely build this place into a fairyland on earth, no, a fairyland for the Queen Mother. If it is not done well, I will eat the shoe!"
The smile on the village chief's face was uncontrollable. He really had a god-like thought.
Having ruined the livelihood of their whole village, you still have to watch him eat his shoes? Do you use shoes as money?
But things were already like this, so he had no choice but to admit it, "Then I'll be in trouble, Mr. Yan!"
Yes, this monkey-like dandy has a very decent name, Yan Zheng!
I don’t know which elder named him. I can only say that hope is good, but reality is cruel.
Yan Zheng has stayed at Broken Gold Beach since then. Even when all the craftsmen went back at night, he did not leave.
Sitting by the campfire in the evening, I drank wild vegetable porridge and ate pancakes from big pottery bowls with the villagers. They talked about how to build the valley, what kind of houses each family wanted, and how to save materials and money.
This finally made the villagers completely relieved. This man seemed unreliable, but he also had some real ability.
Jiayin was also sitting on a small stone at the moment, with the oil paper bag in her hand open. A group of little children gathered in front of her, and each of them shared a piece of osmanthus candy. They licked it with great satisfaction, and their clothes were wet with saliva.
Jiaxi’s family has a few half-grown children, who are also very greedy. They squatted and played not far away, but their eyes glanced at the oil paper bag in Jiayin’s hand from time to time, full of longing.
Jiayin shouted in a sweet voice, "Brother, brother!"
Jia An Jiaxi immediately ran over, and the remaining pieces of osmanthus candy were so sweet that they filled several mouths.
When the old men and women saw it, they praised the good news one after another.
“Our Fu Niu is really a good girl. She is never stingy. She always gives out half of everything she has to eat.”
“Yes, and I never cry. I am always happy whenever I see her, and it makes people happy when I see her.”
"It's a good name given by Aunt Li. Fu Niu is the luckiest little girl! Among other things, Mrs. Cui regards Fu Niu as her own daughter. Mr. Ye never lets go every time he comes over and keeps hugging this girl. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and the Li family was happy and proud after hearing it.
That night, Yan Zheng slept in a shack with the villagers. He got up excitedly in the middle of the night and followed Li Laosi and others on patrol.
On the second day, vigorous construction began.
It was just getting light, and almost all the people in the village who could move went up the mountain.
Cut down trees, mow grass, and continue to open up wasteland.
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Laosi stayed behind. Liu Biaotou and Li Lao'er took the money and went to buy materials with Yan Zheng in the car.
At noon, the first load of wood had been delivered to the valley.
The villagers hurriedly unloaded it, and the stones arrived soon after.
Things are brought in like water, and money is spent like water.
Fortunately, Ye Shan returned to the city and brought Mr. Ye's 600 taels of silver over and gave them to Li Lao'er.
The villagers wish they had eight hands, and all of them are so busy that they never touch the ground.
But even though everyone who was tired at night fell asleep and the sound of Hulu Mountain was heard, no one said a word about being tired.
The old people are too old to do heavy work, so they carry small children on their backs, chop wood, and boil water for cooking.
The women took their young men with them to go up the mountain to cut grass and move dwarf pines down the mountain.
Men have to cut down trees, move rocks and wood, clear out wasteland, and have to keep watch at night.
Everyone is working hard to build their new home as soon as possible. Not only do they need to settle down, but they also need to lay a foundation for their children and grandchildren to pass on.
In this way, after five or six days of busy work, all the materials were transported into the valley and the hills on both sides were cleared.
Jiayin jumped anxiously, and finally waited for this day, because the fruit tree saplings in the nursery could not be squeezed out, and if they were not moved out, they would probably bloom.
At midnight that day, she carefully got up, passed through the "encirclement" of her grandma and brothers, and finally carefully touched Dongmei's side.
Dongmei, who was practicing martial arts, was the most alert and woke up almost immediately.
The good news hurriedly reached her ears and said, "Aunt Mei, take me out."
Dongmei didn't hesitate, immediately pulled off a coat, wrapped the good news on her back and went out.
The villagers on night watch saw her and didn’t ask much, thinking she was doing it for convenience.
In the dark night, no one saw that there was a little baby on her back.
Jiayin saw that the camp was a hundred feet away, so she quietly moved the saplings out of the space.
Each of these saplings is as thick as a small rolling pin. Adding more than a thousand saplings together, they are piled up like a hill, which is really a lot.
Jiayin swallowed secretly and urged Dongmei to go back.
Dongmei felt a little strange, but she didn’t ask.
After returning to the shack, Jiayin whispered in her ear, "Aunt Mei, Uncle Ye has sent fruit trees to plant on the hills on both sides. Tomorrow morning you take my father and the others to where we were just now and bring back the saplings."
Even though Dongmei had received her master's orders, she still couldn't help being surprised. Could it be that the little girl just went to see the saplings, but why didn't she notice it?
Jiayin’s little heart felt like it was in her throat. Fortunately, Dongmei quickly responded, “Okay.”
Jiayin breathed a long sigh of relief, wrapped the little quilt around her and fell asleep beautifully.
The problem of how to take out these fruit trees has been tormenting her for many days. Now that it is solved, it is really easy. She needs to catch up on her sleep.
This night, she really slept a lot and didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning.
Mrs. Cui didn't know when she came. She sat aside and talked to Mrs. Li.
"Auntie, my senior brother and I have bought five shares, and we will be able to move around or live in peace in the future. This is two hundred taels of silver, and the sixty taels will be returned to Mr. Ye. Auntie, tell me carefully. This is robbing him of his bonus. For the other one hundred and forty taels, please ask the village to help me build a small courtyard, preferably next to my aunt’s house.”
Mrs. Li happily collected the money and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Ye is not a stingy person. Besides, the village originally wanted to leave five shares for you, but you didn't come over for a while and you were anxious to use the money, so Mr. Ye will take care of it." I’ll let Er Er and the others pay more attention to your yard and build it well. You’ll come to live there often and we’ll be in love.”
Mrs. Cui turned her head and found that Jiayin was awake, so she quickly hugged her, wiped her face and combed her hair with her own hands, and then took her out for a walk.
At this moment, the young and old in the village are working hard to transport fruit trees to the mountain.
Everyone was extremely happy and kept saying, "Master Ye is so awesome. Where did he find so many fruit trees?"
“Yes, I thought before that it would be great if we planted fruit trees on this mountain. The flowers would bloom beautifully, and we could pick fruits and sell them in autumn.”
“The village chief uncle said that this fruit tree is still small, and we can still grow crops under it this year.”
Yan Zheng was dancing excitedly, looking more and more like a monkey.
"This is an apple tree. It blooms in May. The hot spring village will be built by then. I'm afraid those swindlers in Kyoto will go crazy and come to steal money! Haha, let them laugh at me for not doing his job properly. Let them take a good look this time. My master’s ability! This fairyland on earth was created by me!”
