System of good deeds in the world

Chapter 279 Hiring People
"Give you!"

Pass the corn on the cob to the little monkey, and the guy eats it happily.

Just greedy, almost lost my life.

He dared to steal corn from his own field, but Xiaobai would not be polite to anyone who dared to touch these crops.

If he hadn't arrived in time, the little monkey would have died.

"Squeak..."

The little monkey ate two corn cobs, but was still a little dissatisfied. He seemed to like this kind of corn cobs very much, and looked at them with watery eyes.

But it seems that the state is much better, not as weak and sick as before.

It seems that the effect of this corn is still very good.

Lin Pengfei was not a stingy person, he took three corn cobs from the huge pile of corn cobs, put them on the chair, and said to the little monkey: "I can't eat any more, at most three more corn cobs. "

"Squeak!"

The little monkey happily picked up the corn cob and peeled off the outer skin just like it did just now. They said that this monkey is the best at imitating human behavior and movements, which seems to be true at all.

Lin Pengfei didn't know why he fell in love with this monkey.

If this little monkey is kept and trained well, it will be a very good helper. At least the tasks of serving tea, delivering water, and washing clothes can be entrusted to it.

It was obvious that the little monkey was estimated to be less than a year old, but he actually wanted to make it work for him.

However, Lin Pengfei was not going to force the monkey to stay in his own home. Let him recuperate in his home first. When the injury healed, he decided to leave or stay. It was up to him.

Lin Pengfei thought of something, and asked the "Merciful Person System" in his mind: "System, why do I have no merit value for saving this little monkey?"

There is such a merit value for saving people, but why is there no merit value for saving animals?

You must know that there is a birthday event in Buddhism, and there is merit in this release. Why is there no merit for saving the monkey?

Isn't Buddha the one who talked about "all beings are equal"?
There should be a reward for saving the monkey by yourself, right?
What made Lin Pengfei depressed was that this "meritorious and benevolent system" did not respond at all.

"Pengfei, your place has changed a lot. When did the dirt road outside get messed up? It's much better than the dirt road in the village."

Lin Zhaoquan walked into Lin Pengfei's yard with three old farmers about his age, and yelled at Lin Pengfei as soon as he entered.

This is not a lie. I thought it would be difficult to get to Lin Pengfei's place. Weeds and shrubs half the height of a person are everywhere.

But only now did he find out when Lin Pengfei opened up the road from the yard of his thatched cottage to the village.

This is a big project. Without modern machines, that is, excavators, it would not be possible for as many as 50 people to do it by manpower alone in half a month.

As for the excavator, it is impossible to enter the mountain, because there is no way for the excavator to drive in.

Such a long and wide road must have been made by manpower.

But I haven't heard anyone mention it recently. Is there anyone in the village who is helping Lin Pengfei to build roads?

Could it be someone from outside the village?

That's also impossible. Dozens of people came into the village. As the village head and senior village official, how could I not know about it.

"It was done recently, village chief, why did you come here so early, have you eaten yet?"

Lin Pengfei naturally didn't want to continue talking on this topic, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Eat, it's almost seven o'clock. I found five people for you, and everyone brought their own baskets and poles."

Lin Zhaoquan said.

"I'm really grateful to my uncles."

Lin Pengfei said to the old men behind Lin Zhao.

Last night, when Lin Pengfei came back, he passed by the village chief's house, and asked the village chief to help him find people No. 100 and [-] for him to pick up the corn cobs and sell them in the county town. Although it was just one trip, Lin Pengfei would pay them [-] yuan.

You must know that even if you go to the town to work as a temporary worker, it costs 100 yuan a day. If you take a load of corncobs to the county town, you will also be paid 70 yuan.

Now there are not many young people in Jialan Village, and the main labor force is these old people in their 70s and [-]s.

Although these old people are in their 70s and [-]s, they are much more powerful than those square dancers in the city. They can carry heavy objects weighing one or two hundred catties, and they can walk like flying, and their bodies are very strong.

In addition to doing some farm work, these old people usually go out to do some odd jobs in the village. In a poor place like Beishan County, there are many people who rely on physical labor to make a living. It is not easy to find odd jobs, especially like them. old man.

Lin Pengfei gave 100 yuan to pick two baskets of corn cobs to go to the county town.

As the head of the village, Lin Zhaoquan naturally considered which families had a difficult life. The elderly people who came here today belonged to families with difficulties.

They are 70 to [-] years old, not only have to earn money to support themselves, but also take care of their sons and grandchildren.

It's not that their sons and grandsons are worthless, but the reality is cruel.

It doesn't matter in reality, even for a college student, working part-time in a big city for [-] yuan a month is already very good.

A salary of [-] yuan a month is definitely a high salary in Beishan County, and it is absolutely enviable.

But in the big cities, the housing prices are so high, and I had to bite the bullet and owe a large amount of foreign debt to pay a down payment to buy a house in a big city. This not only exhausted all the savings of the family for three generations, but also owed a large amount to the bank. sum of money.

This money has to be repaid every month, and the money borrowed by relatives and friends also has to be repaid.

This old man is old, not only does not want to be a burden to his children, but he also wants to earn money to help his children. Most of the old people in this village are like this.

"Pengfei, what are you talking about? You paid us to work. You earn 100 yuan a trip. Where can you find such a good job!"

"That's right, Pengfei is promising now!"

"Pengfei, don't look at your uncle, I'm 71 years old, my strength is no less than that of young lads. I can easily lift things weighing two hundred catties, but those young men may not be able to lift them."

"Uncle Zhaoyang, I believe what you say!"

Lin Pengfei said to the old people with a smile.

The elderly in the countryside have all experienced the most difficult days. They all rely on physical labor to support themselves and their families. These people have nothing else but strength.

Even an old lady in the countryside has stronger hands than many young men in the city.

"Then... is that a little monkey?"

Lin Zhaoquan noticed the little monkey sitting on the chair and eating corn cobs with relish, and said in surprise.

Although I know that there are monkeys in this mountain, or even a group of monkeys, but not many people have seen them. Lin Zhaoquan has only seen them two or three times in his life. He never thought that there was one in Lin Pengfei's yard.

The second is later.
