Chapter 331 Why do you come here to eat and drink for free?

The twelfth day of the winter month.

It was just dawn, and there was already a lot of activity in front of the library.

The men carried the bamboo from the mountain and sawed it into sections. This is the sound they will make when they are set on fire and exploded. Firecrackers, for a festive purpose!

The wealthy families in the city can afford special firecrackers, but the farmers are reluctant to buy them if they don't have money. However, there are fish and shrimps, and bamboo is also very good.

The women dug a pit in the ground and built a stone block to serve as a stove. They placed a large iron pot on top and lit a fire inside, making a crackling sound of wood.

Large basins of prepared vegetables were brought, buckets of well water were brought, and dishes and chopsticks were brought for cleaning.

Aunt Li, who was carrying water from her own well, shook her arms and said with emotion: "It would be great if there was a well in front of this bookstore. In the future, we don't have to carry water from far away to make meals. How much energy can be saved."

"There are only a few wells in our village. If there is one in front of the bookstore, the people who live in the front will not have to go to the back to fetch water. There are fewer people in the well in the back and we don't have to queue. Aunt Li suggested it!" Zhang Huibian said! I agree while washing the dishes.

Sun Jinhua was also among the people helping. Every household in the village had to send someone to help. She was responsible for non-greasy tasks such as washing dishes and chopsticks. When she heard the talk about digging a well in front of the bookstore, she immediately became excited.

Her home is at the head of the village, closest to the village gate! Naturally, it is close to the bookstore. If a well is built in front of the bookstore, wouldn't my family benefit the most?

She hurriedly expressed her attitude: "Okay, I support building wells!"

"Hey, isn't it expensive to dig a well? When there is more money in the future, maybe every household will be willing to dig a well in front of their door to use water for their own family. Now, even if it is a public well, there is no money." Aunt Zhang sighed.

Life is easy for the people in the village, but digging a well costs two to three taels of silver. Who is willing to do that?

There is a lot of water in front of the village. You can go to lakes, rivers, and ponds to do laundry and other things. It's just a little more walking. Water for food is carried from the well. No one is willing to spend an extra two or three taels of silver to dig a well.

There may be a well drill here in the future, but not now. If nothing else, I can't find anyone to dig a well.

Sun Jinhua was not happy when she heard this, and muttered: "Who said there is no money? I heard that our village now has public money, so what if we use it to build a well?

The money was originally meant to be spent on the people of the village, just for the good of the village. What would you do if you didn't spend it? "

Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Sun Jinhua and said along the way without retorting: "Yes, yes, of course we have to spend money. It is not convenient for us to dig a well with water, and it is not convenient for us to cook. I think we need to build a stove! We There are a lot of people in the village, so I guess at least three cauldrons are enough.

But the light barrier stove is not enough. There must be a kitchen to protect it from wind and rain, right? Can we build another kitchen?

The kitchen is also made of bricks and tiles, which is clean and solid. After calculating, the money in the old village chief's account is about the same. Even if it is not enough, it doesn't matter. We are all from the same village. For the good of the village, what's wrong with giving some money! "

When Sun Jinhua thought about not only having no money to eat banquets in the future, but also having to supplement the money, her face turned darker than the bottom of the pot.

A full stomach is the most important thing. If we don’t have enough food, what will we do if we build a stove or build a kitchen?

The others suppressed their laughter and remained silent.

The money was earned by the men in the village who risked their lives, and they could use it wherever they wanted. If Sun Jinhua only cared about her own water convenience, she could have spent the money to drill a well instead of planning to live in the old village. Take the money that belongs to the public!

The well may be drilled in the future, but it can be done by each household in the village pooling some money without using public money.

Sun Jinhua snorted coldly, thinking that these women did it on purpose. They lived at the back of the village and could not enjoy the well, so they blocked it a lot.

But it is absolutely impossible for her to use money to dig wells.

While she was lazing around, she saw Li Dani and her group walking from a distance. Her triangular eyes narrowed, and when she saw clearly, her whole body became hairy!

She stood up suddenly and shouted regardless: "This is a village banquet! What are you servants doing here? You are eating and drinking, why are there such shameless people? Sister-in-law Guifen, please take care of it!"

Don't let these outsiders take advantage of our village! "

Zhang Chunhua was also lazy at first. After hearing Sun Jinhua's words, she stood up and looked over. Seeing that it was really Li Dani and her group, she pointed her finger at a few people and asked displeasedly: "What are you doing here? This is a village banquet. Do you know what the village banquet means?" ?

He is so shameless and has no self-consciousness about people from outside the village. Did he even give up his face just to stutter and eat? ! "

Li Dani, Zhou Yu and others paused, their faces burning red.

The worker realized what he was doing, put down his work, looked at the two of them and accused them: "Jinhua Chunhua, what are you two talking about! Dani and the others were invited by the old village chief!"

"I'm not just here to eat and drink, but the money from this village banquet is still..."

Wang Chunhua interrupted first: "The old village chief invited me here? Why did the old village chief invite me? Did he ask the village master for his opinion?"

More than twenty people at once! Everyone can eat it, but what do we eat after they finish eating? Anyway, I don’t agree! "

Wang Guifen, who has always been good-tempered, came over and said politely: "Who cares whether you agree or not!

My father asked the village elders for their opinions, and everyone else agreed. It doesn't matter if you disagree, but you don't want to eat today's food. "

"Why can't I eat it?" Wang Chunhua's eyes were filled with tears. She raised her chin stubbornly to prevent the tears from falling. She held her neck and argued with Wang Guifen.

Today's food is so good, she won't go back in anger!

The quarrel here alerted the men who were preparing firecrackers over there, and they came over one after another.

Zhang Xiaowu heard what his sister said from others, and hurriedly got in and tugged on Zhang Chunhua's sleeves, "Sister, we didn't pay any money, so we just eat and drink, so don't argue."

Zhang Chunhua pulled back her sleeves in disapproval and continued: "We are from the village, they are not, can it be the same? What did I say wrong? Why should I let them!"

Wang Guifen took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face, "You don't have to let them, but part of the money for the village banquet is provided by them. If you don't want to eat with them, then you have to stop eating."

Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Sun Jinhua looked unbelieving and continued: "I don't believe it. They have all been sold into slavery. Where did the money come from? Sister-in-law Guifen, you can't lie to help them."

This time, there was no need for Wang Guifen to speak or the woman to help. The men who were watching stood up and said coldly: "The men in their family have done their best!

Does that money belong to them? "

"Their boss also came out, are they a part of it?"

"To be serious, both my village and the so-called 'outside villagers' have contributed to the public deposits. Only your two families have not contributed. Now it's a good thing. The one who has not contributed the money is the most happy!"
