Chapter 87 Brothers go home

The village chief smiled and scolded: "Daniu, I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you talking about? You are too impatient!"

The other villagers laughed after hearing this. Xu Daniu chuckled twice and scratched his head in embarrassment.

The village chief continued: "It has been raining the past few days and everyone can't even go out. The Xu family came to me and decided to build roads for the village!"

When the villagers heard this, they burst into flames and started talking.

"is this real?"

"It must be true. The village chief has said so. How can it be false?"

"The Xu family are really good people. They have always helped the village after making money, and now they have to help the village build roads. This is a big deal!"

"Yes, Xu Jiarenyi, everyone knows that once this road is repaired, we will all take advantage of it!"

There were also some older people who raised their hands excitedly and said, "Everyone wants to thank the Xu family for making such a great contribution to the village!"

For a moment, the villagers all bent down to thank the old man, and they kept saying thank you.

The old man spoke up and said: "You're welcome, I should do this. Since my family has the ability, why not do it! This will not only be convenient for everyone, but also convenient for myself. It is also a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. I believe that in the future Our village is on a good road, and its future development will not be bad. As long as everyone lives well, I will be happy!"

The villagers were very moved after hearing this. Some villagers pulled out their children and said excitedly: "Quick, thank you Grandpa Dashan, and kowtow to Grandpa Dashan."

Other villagers followed suit. For a while, a group of little carrot heads kowtowed to the old man in the open space. They didn't understand what it meant. They only knew that Grandpa Dashan wanted to build a road, but their parents wanted to kowtow by themselves, so they obeyed and obeyed. Just do it.

The old man hurriedly said: "What are you doing? Get the children up quickly, the ground is cold!" After saying that, he helped the little boy closest to him and patted the soil on his knees.

The village chief said: "Brother, you are worthy of being so grateful by the villagers. Speaking of which, even I have to thank you. As the village chief, this can be regarded as my achievement."

The old man smiled and said: "Having you as the village chief who considers the villagers wholeheartedly is a blessing to Xujia Village!"

The village chief waved his hands and said: "Brother, I'm joking. The village chief must take on the responsibility of the village chief. I should do these things." After saying that, he turned around and shouted loudly to the villagers who were still talking in low voices: "There is one more thing I want to make clear to everyone. Don't feel uncomfortable! The Xu family plans to pay the road construction workers 25 cents each, which is a few cents higher than those who work in greenhouses!"

After hearing this, the villagers were quiet for a moment. The village chief thought that the villagers had objections, and his heart was in his throat.

A man said loudly: "What's the point? It's much easier for us to work in greenhouses than to build roads. We usually have more free time, so it's normal for their wages to be higher!"

Xu Daniu also said: "That's right, I work in a greenhouse. Not only have I not lost weight, I have gained a lot of weight. Besides, we have long-term jobs. How can this compare?"

"That's right. This road was originally built for our village. If we still care about this, then are we still human beings!"

For a moment, everyone felt that this was the right thing to do, and there was no sign of displeasure on their faces!

The village chief was very pleased and said: "Our village is all sensible. What everyone said is right. We can't be short-sighted!"

"Even so, we are not the kind of people who don't know what to do!"

When the old man heard what the villagers said, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. I'd like to ask you all to see if any of your relatives are unemployed. If you don't mind, you can come to work."

Some young daughters-in-law and aunts were very happy. Their eldest brothers were still resting at home. It was a good time for the Xu family to build roads this time and earn some money to go home before the Chinese New Year.For a while, the villagers all agreed in unison.

The village chief asked everyone to dismiss the meeting, and he had to go and decide on the sand and other materials first. The old man took the village chief back home, and asked Uncle Xu and the village chief to drive the ox cart towards the town.

After Xu Erbo and the village chief walked away, the old man told his family what had just happened in the meeting.

Wang said: "Fortunately, the people in our village are sensible. Otherwise, although the road construction is for our own homes, we would feel a little unhappy after all."

The rest of the family nodded. Anyone who does good deeds and is criticized will feel aggrieved. However, this situation should not happen in Xujiacun.

In the afternoon, Uncle Xu saw that the road was easier to walk and planned to drive towards the town in a carriage. It was time for the children to go home.

Uncle Xu had not come back in the afternoon, but Uncle Xu and the village chief did.

The two of them were traveling all the way, and Mrs. Wang quickly asked Mrs. Zhang to get two glasses of water.

The two took a sip of water, and then Erbo Xu said: "Dad, the village chief uncle and I went to a place that sells sand and gravel and asked. The boss said that roads paved with rammed earth and stone slabs are strong, not easy to break, and smooth. , but the price is more expensive than simply paving with sand and gravel.”

The old man thought for a while and said: "Okay, then we will repair it. Then you go and tell the boss tomorrow and let him deliver the goods!"

The village chief said: "Okay, okay, then I'll go with my second son tomorrow. Their things are all ready-made, so there's no need to wait. There will definitely be a lot of relatives in the village who need to come to work, and they will definitely be able to do it before the Chinese New Year." Fix it!”

The old man said: "Village Chief, there is one more thing I want to say, which is the issue of feeding the workers who come to build the road. Our family may not be able to feed so many people at once!"

The village chief said: "I will make it clear. Just let them bring their own dry food when the time comes!"

After everything was discussed, the village chief also went back.

Wang and the others are going to make dinner. The children are going home today, but they need to make more delicious food.

Not long after, Uncle Xu came back with his carriage. As soon as he stopped the carriage, all the boys in the carriage jumped out one by one.

Xiao Wu shouted happily: "Grandpa, grandma, mother, we are back!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the kitchen hurriedly came out of the kitchen when they heard the noise. Wang's happy face was filled with smiles. She stepped forward and hugged Xiao Wu in her arms, saying, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Mrs. Zhang pulled Wenwu and Zhiyong over, touched their heads and said, "How are you in town these days? Have you taken care of your brothers?"

Xu Wenwu smiled lightly and replied: "Well, very good, the owner of the barbecue restaurant is very good to us and cares about us, and the brothers are very obedient!"

Mrs. Zhang smiled happily and asked, "Have you fallen behind in your studies?"

Xu Zhiyong was the first to say: "Mom, you don't know that my eldest brother is often praised by his master in the college. Even the dean appreciates him very much!"

Third brother Xu Zihao said: "Yes, Master values ​​eldest brother very much. Master also said that the most naughty one is Xiao Wu!"

Mrs. Li nodded Xiao Wu's head and said: "I know that your skin will itch even if you don't wear it all day long. How did your mother teach you? I asked you to listen to your brother and master's words in the academy, but you just turned a deaf ear, right?"
