Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 50

"Attention, members, attention, members! At eight o'clock this morning, we will hold a general meeting of the villagers in the village committee compound. Muzi said that the meeting this morning will not affect the salary payment, so everyone must arrive on time. Thinking of being lazy and playing tricks, he has something important to discuss with us!"

Early the next morning, before the hired people went to work, the village head yelled a few more times through the loudspeaker in the village committee compound to hold a village meeting.

In view of Su Mu's good popularity in Huatanao during this period, I heard that he has something to discuss, and none of the hundreds of people in the village, old and young, was late, and they all took small benches early and waited for the meeting in the village committee compound .

This time, Su Mu also specially prepared a speech, and told the villagers about the plan to develop agriculture in Huatanao. Naturally, it is inevitable to imagine a bright future.

In fact, what he thought was relatively simple. Taking the village as a unit, using his own spatial water and spatial soil will definitely lead the villagers to make a fortune.Moreover, everyone has shares to participate in, and will work harder than taking wages, and there will be no disputes in the future.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, people in the audience discussed for more than half an hour, and finally came to the same conclusion as before.The villagers have a simpler idea. Who said that farming will definitely make money?After years of hard work in planting land, there are a lot of people who lose money!In case of another drought or flood disaster, the particles will be lost, and they may not even be able to eat.

So they just want to use the simplest method, work hard with wages, whether it is a loss or a profit, it will not affect their lives.

"Since everyone is so sure, I will formally sign a contract with the village; in addition, land reclamation requires more manpower, and those who did not participate in it before now have the opportunity. Except for the children below and the elderly over [-], the rest I There are work arrangements, as long as you want to follow me, you will be waiting to sign the contract and receive the task after the meeting." Seeing that no one is willing to participate in such a big good event, Su Mu had to make a quick decision and announce the last item.

Sure enough, when he said that he needed more manpower, those who hadn't applied for the job were delighted from ear to ear.

After all the procedures were completed and the contract was formally signed; after the road repair team and wasteland reclamation team went to work, the remaining people in the village committee compound were all elated.

"The village chief wants to lead a group of people to work on adobe. The salary is the same as that of road construction. Whoever wants to do it can apply to the village chief. Now I need a detailed division of labor. There are those who manage the orchard, those who herd cattle and sheep, and those who raise chickens, ducks and geese. The engineering team for building chicken coops, sheep pens, and vegetable greenhouses all need suitable manpower. Anyone who thinks they have special skills can come and sign up. Don't panic, come one by one!"

Su Mu was glad that he had prepared printers and other office supplies in the space. He used the computer to make some forms overnight and printed them out. sense of sight.

"Muzi, you said the other day that you use me to herd the sheep, so you can't count it!" Old Chen rushed to the table with difficulty, grabbed the desk and shouted at Su Mu.

Seeing this, the village chief patted the table vigorously, "Why are you so crowded! Muzi is so thin and you will crush him! Everyone has lined up for me, come one by one! Uncle Chen, you are the first."

The crowded crowd gradually quieted down, and spontaneously formed a long line behind Old Chen.

"Uncle Chen, you are one of the shepherds grazing sheep in the pasture. Let me explain this employment contract to you." Su Mu was afraid that they could not read, so he was about to read it one by one.

But the village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't read it, just press your fingerprints. I've read the contract. It's no problem. It's useless if you talk to them. Anyway, you don't understand the terms and conditions.

Members, listen carefully. I have read this employment contract. It is nothing more than a monthly salary. Since we signed the contract, we should work hard and don't think about those crooked people.Anyone who is greedy for petty gain, takes other people's things casually, or has dirty hands and feet, let alone people who don't need you, even we look down on such a person!

Also, work hard and honestly.If there is any disharmony among those who deal with you, please come to me to judge. You can't go to work with emotions, and you can't drink and fight to make trouble!

There are a few of them, I won't name them, everyone in the village knows your virtue of drinking a little wine.I usually do whatever I want at home, but if I make trouble at work, I'll whip you with a shoehorn!Do you understand? "

The crowd roared with laughter and shouted that they understood, the young man who had been secretly named lowered his head and remained silent.

"Then I'll do my fingerprints." Old Chen, who didn't know a single word, laughed with the crowd, dipped some inkpad and pressed his fingerprints at the end of the contract.

"What's your name? Do you have any special abilities?" Su Mu gave one copy of the contract to Uncle Chen, and kept the other one on file, and then asked the next villagers.

After a morning of lively meetings, all the contracts were finally signed near noon.

Naturally, all the moves that Su Mu was looking for were complete.

"In the afternoon, the engineering team can follow me to the wasteland to dig adobe. The remaining wood will be ready for work within a month. I will announce through the loudspeaker when the time comes. Everyone, let's go!" the village chief said loudly. After the meeting was called to end, all the villagers walked back with their contracts talking and laughing.

"Muzi, wait!"

Just as Su Mu was about to go home for dinner, he went to Taohua County in the afternoon to contact him about buying fruit tree seedlings, but he was stopped by the fat aunt.

"Muzi is 25 this year, right? Fat Aunt just has something to tell you." When she spoke like this, Su Mu felt a little bad.

Sure enough, the other party looked at him carefully, covered his mouth and smiled softly: "Those girls in our village who are seventeen or eighteen years old and haven't settled for a husband's family are all interested in you! The children in the valley get married early, so don't look at me. Your son is two years younger than you, and the child will run away. So, you have to pick a good one early, or those big girls who are like flowers will be picked away, and there will be no suitable ones!
Muzi, your condition is good, and you came back from a big city, of course you pick them and you can't let them pick you.

The girl from Lao Wang's family is 17 years old this year. She is so tall and beautiful. Many boys in our village are envious!That girl also has high eyelids, so she just fell in love with you. If you have time to think about it, if you think it's right, you can make a deal and get married next year! "

"Fat Aunt, I...I still have things to go first. I have been busy working on farming and ranching during this time, and I don't have much time, and I already have someone I like outside, so I'm sorry to trouble you, so please refuse me." Come on!" Su Mu refused, and left quickly.

It would be a bit scary to be entangled by the matchmaker in the village. 17 years old?That's a minor!Moreover, can the girls who have not gone to school in the mountains be able to talk to themselves?

If she really wants to marry someone her age, that little girl Xia Jin is far stronger than her!
Thinking of Xia Jin, Su Mu really felt a little strange about her.It's better to hurry up and build Huatanao, and bring her to play in summer, and it's best to take her to ride a horse on the pasture!With this in mind, he was stopped by several waiting villagers as soon as he walked out of the village committee compound.

"I said, Muzi, how can you do this? My boy is sixteen this year, and his work is considered a strong laborer. Why don't you hire him? Usually in my house, he can work like an adult, even if it is less Give me some salary, can I give my kid a job?"

"This is true. Although my daughter is only seventeen, she works with the old black wife and the others all day long. You can use the old black wife, why not my daughter?"

"Why do you have to get stuck? What's wrong with being sixteen or seventeen? Did you provoke you?"

……

It turned out that it was just announced that the following children would not be hired, which aroused doubts from the villagers.

These parents don't know that their children have worked for several years, and some of them are even no worse than young men in their twenties. Why don't they hire them?

Su Mu felt a headache, they were all minors!There are at least a dozen sixteen or seventeen-year-old children in Huatanao, some of whom even married early and became parents at the age of eighteen or nineteen. The children in the mountain village work early, and everyone is used to treating them as adults. I saw it, so I ran over to ask.

"I personally don't dare to accept underage workers. Why don't you just ask the village chief. If he thinks it's okay, he can sign a contract with the village and let the village chief arrange the work. Then I will pay the village for settlement. .Although it’s a one-time hand, it will make you feel more at ease.” Su Mu simply kicked the ball to the village chief.

Anyway, what he has done the most in the village these years is to mediate conflicts. Let him be the master of this matter, so everyone can rest easy.

In the afternoon of that day, the entire Huatanao was completely busy.

Those who are not currently assigned specific tasks are all assigned to the wasteland reclamation team. Some of them help in land reclamation; the other part is busy digging the reservoir.

The Guodipo side is not idle either. Water will be needed to raise livestock in the future.The energetic old head Chen led a dozen young people up the mountain with bamboo poles on their backs, and led the mountain spring down from the mountain.

The center of Guodipo is just a big sunken pit, and the mountain springs drawn in form a large lake.After Old Chen heard that Su Mu had sowed pasture seeds here, he was very careful to water the water-deficient and arid places, hoping that the pasture would grow up as soon as possible with water.

Su Mu continued to carry water and water vegetables with the owner of the car. Before the well was put into use, he could only quietly manipulate the barrel while carrying water.

The footsteps of spring bring vitality to Huatanao. On the vast or stretching green land, groups of people are using their own strength to transform the long-abandoned fields.With the spring breeze, melodious birds flying over the green land and branches full of flowers are mixed with people's talking and laughing, which makes people sigh that the spring of Huatanao has really arrived!
