Chapter 302 There is a problem with the water source
In the days that followed, Sun Jinhua and Fan Qian's family felt that the village master was a little too excited.
Everyone seems to have endless strength, and they work harder to build other people's houses than to build their own!
This isn't right.
It’s not like paying wages. Speaking of which, they didn’t work so hard to pay wages before. Besides, this is a work penalty, calculated on a daily basis. If it is completed one day earlier, it will be one less day’s payment. Will these people settle the accounts?
While digging the foundation, Fan Qian looked angrily at the sweaty men around him.
He winked at his son, and the father and son went to drink tea under the shade of the tree.
Fan Xiaoliu pursed his lips and muttered to the people next to him: "I don't even want to say that these are my cousins and nephews who are always lazy and cunning.
We are all working hard, but they are the only ones who either don’t want to drink water or go to the toilet, or the sun is too bright, or their shoulders are sore. I don’t believe that the cows lent to them are also working like this? "
Next to him was Boss Xu, who coughed and tried to smooth things over: "Forget it, isn't his family always like this? Don't worry about it. Let's just work hard to finish the work ourselves. It's business to build the house and take care of the fields as soon as possible."
His family, Tingting, works in the herbal medicine shop. The sooner she builds it, the sooner she can move here. The better the medicinal shop, the better off Tingting will be.
Moreover, Tingting came back and told Fan’s mother about the trouble, just to arrange for her eldest son’s family to move in. If they were allowed to move in, would some people have to be kicked out? His family and Fan Jinshuiqing are neither clan relatives nor in-laws. If they don't have any relationship, they are not allowed to work hard without getting involved.
Two days ago, Tingting came home and talked about planting Polygonum multiflorum. This was even more important. They were now focused on building the house and planting Polygonum multiflorum quickly.
The other men looked down upon Fan Qian's family for taking advantage, and thought that if they were more ambitious, they would never live like this.
There is no need to live up to expectations, as long as they are peaceful and not greedy, and with Fan Jin and Shui Qing as people, they will definitely be able to earn a living.
Now I can only say that some people are like mud, unable to hold on to the wall. If they get stuck on it, they will get themselves covered in mud.
Fan Qian, who was drinking water under the shade of a tree, glanced at the people working hard and felt a fire rising in his heart. He said bitterly: "Now it seems that these people in the village are fools. How can they work so hard?" Yes! It’s not like I’m working for my family.”
Fan Dazhu murmured in his heart: Even if he works for his own family, he can't work so hard.
Fan Erzhu poured himself a large bowl of cold boiled water, drank it in one gulp, wiped his lips and said, "Dad, I see that our village is not normal recently, we work too hard!"
"Is our village just abnormal recently? Wasn't it like this last year?" Fan Sizhu said softly.
Last year, when we were changing mushrooms and peeling chicken heads and rice, it was really day and night, and the whole family, men, women, old and young, all came out. We were very diligent at that time.
Fan Sanzhu felt that what his second brother said was nonsense, so he poured himself a large bowl of cold boiled water and drank it.
The second uncle and second aunt were so stingy that they didn’t care about lunch.
When we built a new house last year, we paid the workers and provided them with lunch. It was said that the food was good, but at that time they thought that the second uncle and second aunt could not afford the wages and did not come to work, nor did they eat those sumptuous meals.
Now that I finally came to work, the old village head said that I didn’t have to worry about the food when I arrived at work, but my uncle and aunt actually didn’t care about the food. I was really stingy.
They had no choice but to go back to eat after finishing their work. He, who did manual labor, was not as valued as the women in the medicinal shop, and they still had lunch.
Forget it, they might be eating bran-shaped vegetables every day, so he might as well go home and eat them, at least dry black-faced steamed buns.
Fan Erzhu glanced at the expressions of the fourth and third pillars, one was clear and stupid and the other was dismissive, he laughed and analyzed coldly: "Don't you notice the difference?
In addition to Zhang Tuzi's family, all the men in the village came to build a herbal medicine workshop. My mother-in-law and mother-in-law who didn't come here were idle every day and only cooked at home. But look at the women in the village. Go work in the fields!
The key is not to dig out and fill up to three or four acres at most? The soil was soft and there was no need to plow it, just scatter the wheat seeds and it was done. It was still very early, so why were they anxious? "
Fan Sizhu still had a pair of blank eyes open, not understanding what his second brother was going to say.
Are you saying that your mother and grandma are not diligent? They were not hardworking to begin with. Before the family was divided, the second aunt did the work. After the family was separated, most of them hired their younger brothers to do the work. When the younger brother was away, the stepmother and grandma quarreled many times over cooking and washing clothes. There was no comparison between the two of them and the women in the village.
Besides, among the women in the village, which one doesn’t wake up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs? They were used to being hard-working, so there was nothing special about working in the fields.
Fan Sanzhu's expression became even more disdainful, "Second brother, don't worry about the people in the village. They are hardworking and we don't want to learn from them. Or do you want us to be hardworking too?"
Let me first say yes, we have to be diligent together, but you can’t expect me to work diligently alone! "
Fan Erzhu had a look of resentment on his face, why are these two brothers like pigs with brains that don't allow them to get in!
Not sensitive at all to what's going on in the village.
He turned to his eldest brother and father and said, "Dad, eldest brother, I think the people in the village must be hiding something from us. Do you want to go find out?"
He could feel that the people in the village were gradually alienating his family, but if nothing happened, they would be alienated, but if something happened, they still needed to talk to him or help him.
Fan Qian didn't want to worry about this, so he just waved his hand and said, "Go and find out."
Fan Dazhu felt that the villagers could not hide anything. If there was anything, they would know it sooner or later.
The second brother was just worrying about nothing, and his mind was on these useless things.
"If you ask me, you should think more about Ding Jiajia. Didn't grandma say that with her, the herbal medicine shop would be ours? Why bother to ask the second uncle to let us go?"
Fan Erzhu lowered his head and said nothing.
If he married Ding Jiajia, the herbal medicine shop would only belong to him, and it would have nothing to do with his eldest brother and two younger brothers.
Fan Sanzhu also said nothing.
If the family property did not belong to him, why would the herbal medicine shop belong to everyone? Impossible.
He would do it secretly, and catch them off guard when he succeeded in the future.
The five people had different thoughts, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked towards the herbal medicine shop.
How great it would be if it was his.....
"No, no! There is a problem with the water source!" Li Wu took three steps at a time and saw the crowd shouting immediately.
He was followed by Feng Da, Feng Er, Hong Daniu and others who were looking dejected, all with drooping shoulders, looking like they were about to cry.
Fan Xiaoliu was anxious and asked first: "What's going on? What's the problem?"
