"I've seen it today. You all talk so much that your boss can't live without you, right? Humph! There are no three-legged toads in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men!"

The man's face turned red as he was scolded by a group of little girls, "You..." He knew he couldn't defend himself, so in desperation, he spoke indiscriminately, "You girls, you were captured by the water bandits and your reputation was ruined, so why don't you go up the mountain?" You are a nun and you dare to come out and show your face, how unbecoming it is!"

These words touched the hearts of the girls. Some of them turned pale and shaky, some covered their faces and started crying. Even the little girl who had yelled the loudest just lowered her head.

"Bah bang bang!" Shen Qing stood up and motioned for everyone to look at her. Seeing that everyone's attention had been attracted, she looked at the man who was leading the trouble. She said he was a man, but he was actually not very old. He looked about fifteen or sixteen. But he has a strong body, and his exposed arms are full of muscles.

"This little brother, what's your name?"

Being called out by his boss, Ye Lei felt uneasy, "My surname is Ye, and my single name is Lei. If my boss blames me for saying something I shouldn't have said, I will apologize to them. If that doesn't work, then just remove me from the list so that I don't get involved." The rest of us, we all came out from home to look for work together." The family's land was too small to support a family, so if there was extra labor at home, they had to go out to look for a living.

Shen Qingdao: "You are honest, do you think I am like a villain who is determined to retaliate? I cannot tolerate others' questioning and I can't stand any rebuttal?"

"That's not what I meant!" Ye Lei blushed.Indeed, before coming here, he never expected that the person in charge of the Yangzhuang family would be such a fair and tender little girl, so the decision she made, to be honest, was also unconvincing.

Shen Qing put her hands behind her back and stood on a protruding tree root under the tree. It was a little high, allowing her to overlook everyone. "It's normal for you to have doubts in your mind. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. If I can't even do this, How can you support such a huge family business if you don’t even have the capacity to accommodate others? But what! Questions are questions, speak it out clearly, don’t make small moves behind the scenes, and don’t encourage people’s hearts, and do anything like the strength of numbers. , whoever dares to take this risk, I will find him first!"

"As for the road construction, I have thought about it carefully. It was not Miss Zhong's impromptu idea. I agreed with my head. When I came, I rode a carriage and walked carefully. There was no cargo on the carriage, so it overturned. If If we don’t repair it, except for our own village, who outside will dare to take the road of our village? Another Wangjiazhuang I took over has actually started to build roads. If you don’t believe me, ask this brother Wang Wu, he is the one I just promoted Zhuangtou."

Wang Wu stood next to her and nodded solemnly, "The boss said that the road has been repaired, and the merchants who receive goods outside are also willing to come to Zhuangzi to collect goods. The price must be the most suitable. Our autumn planting in Zhuangzi has ended. When farmers have free time, they have to plant vegetables and raise chickens. The vegetables and eggs harvested in the future are best transported outside the village. Think about it, if the road is not good, the eggs will not be broken on the road. Carrying the basket on his own back to the town was laborious and time-consuming. The same was true for the grain. The road was good and it was easy to transport. The owner also said that after two years, when Zhuangzi had enough money, he would pull some gravel from the mine. Son, pave the road thoroughly, so that we won’t be afraid no matter how heavy the rain falls.”

He was talking about his own feelings. When he left Zhuangzi, the road had been repaired. Looking at the newly paved smooth road, he was really excited. He had grown up rolling in the mud since he was a child. He never imagined that one day , after leaving Zhuangzi, you can embark on such a smooth road.

After listening to his speech, Shen Qing was thinking about whether to build a cement road in the future. Forget it, the cost was too high, and the step was too big, which was not beneficial to this era.

"Ahem! Listen to me, everyone, I provided all the food during your road construction. To be honest, my money was also borrowed from the bank. It's not easy for everyone. You have to eat, work hard, and strive for If the road is built earlier, Yangzhuang will be like a brand new village. Everything depends on everyone's concerted efforts to live a prosperous life. That... I have asked people to buy half a piece of pig and let everyone eat it every other day. Serve the meat.”

As soon as they heard about pork, everyone's eyes lit up.

The road was also widened to five meters, with poplar trees planted on both sides and drainage ditches dug. It extended all the way to Zhuangzi, then passed through Zhuangzi, merged with the drainage ditch dug in Zhuangzi, and then flowed to Qinghe River.She has also seen the embankment of Qinghe River. Due to the terrain, Yangzhuang is higher than Qinghe. That is to say, the flood this year was too great. The river overflowed and submerged Zhuangzi. In most cases, the river is still difficult to cross. Of the embankment.

Building the river embankment is a huge project, and she is powerless. Just think about it, although it can't be repaired, it can still be reinforced for flood control. It just won't work this year. Let's talk about it in the spring next year!

Build roads, prepare fields.

Shen Qing then asked someone to count the days, picked a day, and asked someone to prepare firecrackers, paper money, and a set of funeral supplies. Shen Qing called everyone in the village to bury the dead.

There was a burst of crackling firecrackers in the direction of the mass grave, and the sound of crying was loud.

It was originally agreed that they should be cremated, but the old people in Zhuangzi did not agree. They felt that these people's death was miserable enough, so burning their bones would sow resentment.

On this point, Shen Qing fully respects their opinions and will do whatever they say.

Therefore, more than 20 pits and beds were dug, and almost all the door and bed boards in the Zhuangzi were removed and pieced together, and more than a dozen coffins were assembled. Shen Qing spent money to buy a few more coffins before they were all completed.

The bones that can be identified as a person's bones are gathered into a coffin. Those that cannot be identified can only be burned. The ashes are put in a jar and then lowered into the coffin together. This is a bit troublesome, but in order to appease these souls, It can only be like this.

Shen Qing also delayed the relationship and sent a letter to the abbot of Baima Temple, asking him to borrow some monks and specially performed a ritual ceremony. He spent three days and three nights, chanting sutras and praying throughout Yangzhuang.

The original mass grave was too close to the roadside, so it was moved further away. Zhong Ling had dozens of pine saplings transplanted and planted around the cemetery. Two peach trees were planted at the entrance of the cemetery, both of which were extremely fruity. A sour variety that is difficult to pick, but has beautiful flowers.

She sighed: "Next year, this place will be full of peaches and spring."

After the cemetery was finished and the road was almost built, Shen Qing set about asking people to buy grain seeds. She entrusted Wang Wu to handle this matter. She could just buy more over there and send them over.
