Great Power Army Reclamation

Chapter 534 Digging the River

"By the way, why do I think this project can't make any money? I'm going to ask tomorrow how much the city allocates for one kilometer of river section? Does the municipal company deduct too much?"

Sun Lanyu thought of what happened during the day and said a little depressed. I wanted to help them, but it turned out to be troublesome. Although Ye Yuze didn't care about losing the money, was the nature of the matter wrong? How can anyone work for half a day and still lose money?

Ye Yuze smiled and replied nonchalantly: "Don't ask, my fellow villagers are all trying their best. If they can't finish it, no one will be able to finish it. We don't have to look for it, and others will stop." .”

At dawn in the morning, the old man went down to the river bed shirtless. The mud inside is still so soft that if you step on it, your legs will sink into it up to your knees.

He observed carefully and found that the silt was only in the area more than two meters wide at the bottom of the river, while the edges of the river slope were covered with loess and did not need to be cleaned at all.

At this time, people started to get up one after another. When they saw the old man at the bottom of the river, they all came down with the guy in hand. Xuzhuang people like to use wheelbarrows to dig rivers. This thing is less labor-intensive than using baskets.

Soon, some gentle slopes were cleared. It is easy for a car to rush into such a place. This is definitely much faster than walking up with a load. After all, when running and walking, speed is not a concept.

It's early March and the weather is just thawing. The mud is still biting when your feet step into it. However, once people start working, they will soon be sweating profusely. How can they know it's cold?

Old Rou has never dug a river at his age, but the boss of Ma Ye’s family has rich experience. He quickly arranged the people and then started doing it passionately. By the time they had breakfast, the mud at the bottom of the river had been cleared for about three hundred meters, which gave Ye Yuze, who had just arrived, a jump.

When he came over, he drove around to other construction sites. Some construction sites had not started yet, and some had only cleared a small area. Do my fellow villagers all have six-cylinder engines?

The eldest son of Mr. Ma’s family is called Xu Mandun, which refers to the granary made by his family. I guess Master Ma named his son this name just to get more food, right? The second child is called Mancang. Anyway, I didn’t leave the food.

The Mantun brothers are each stronger than the other. This time the boss and the second child are here. Naturally, he became the leader of this group of people. Shirtless, his sun-tanned skin seemed to be coated in a layer of oil. The sweat beads couldn't stand on it at all, and quickly rolled down the skin.

The muscles are not bulging like bodybuilders, but very well-proportioned. Every movement can make people see the feeling of explosive power.

Ye Yuze touched his arm, feeling a little regretful. Although I am very strong, if I really do this job, even ten of me can't stand up to one Brother Mantun.

Quickly call everyone to come up and eat. It's impossible to finish half a pig in one meal. Ye Yuze took a look and found that less than one-tenth was used. Bian was a little unhappy. He said to the aunt who was cooking: "You can't keep up with such heavy nutrition. From now on, I will deliver half a pig a day and I will deliver it on time."

This aunt was not familiar with him, so she timidly agreed. Mantun had just stepped onto the river embankment at this time: "Don't listen to him. What a waste for rural people doing this kind of work? The way he eats, the landowners in the past will also be poor."

Ye Yuze and Sun Lanyu laughed. During the day, Ye Yuze and Sun Lanyu stayed here. Sun Lanyu was usually a bit of a germophobe, but today he didn't seem to care about being dirty or tired. He ran back and forth on the river embankment with a big teapot, giving water to people on carts.

In fact, it is sometimes easy to be shocked when you watch these people working. They can create rhythm and rhythm out of heavy and monotonous work, which makes the onlookers resonate and move them.

Ye Yuze didn't show off like Lao Rou and ran to the river bed to dig mud. Although the old man couldn't push the cart, he could swing the shovel very smoothly. Ye Yuze estimated that if he went down, he would become a wizened brother in less than an hour.

He took the initiative to help cook in the work shed, which was his strength. He cut the remaining meat in half and chopped it into large pieces of stewed cabbage vermicelli. This was also a way for him to show his respect.

During lunch, the river bed was cleared to 600 meters. This is so damn fast! If we continue like this, the river bed will be cleaned today and the river slope will be flattened tomorrow. That job doesn't take much effort.

At noon, there are enough steamed buns, meat and vegetables, a big pot full. None of the red and white stews in the village have so much meat. These men are not only capable of working, but they can also eat. Three or four large steamed buns can be eaten in one meal, plus a large bowl of meat and vegetables.

Sun Lanyu swallowed hard when she saw it, but when Ye Yuze handed her the bowl, she didn't dare to eat. It was too fat. At that time, rural people liked to eat fatty meat, and the palm-sized pieces of meat were poured into their mouths like vermicelli. She doesn't have that ability.

In the afternoon, Ye Yuze drove to the farmer's market and bought two plates of tofu and several pots of jelly. This thing is so fragrant when put in stew. People who had worked hard all day were so exhausted that they lay on the river embankment and couldn't move.

The river bed was actually cleaned up in one day. The driver of the truck hauling the silt told the people from the municipal company. A deputy manager of the company personally took people to see it and gave him thumbs up.

, patted Ye Yuze on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job, young man, the company will not treat you badly."

Ye Yuze pointed at everyone: "I am the only man here who doesn't work, you should praise them!"

The manager said seriously: "Because you are not a man yet. When you grow up, you can do better than them." After speaking, he glanced at Sun Lanyu.

After a few people left, Ye Yuze's head was covered with black lines, but Sun Lanyu was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. Xu Mandun told Ye Yuze solemnly: "Brother, this girl is good. She is like a fairy. Although she is older than you, is she a junior girl holding gold bricks?"

Ye Yuze complained helplessly: "Brother, is that three years older?"

Xu Mandun looked at Sun Lanyu carefully, then turned around and asked everyone: "Am I wrong? He is not three years older than Yuze at all?"

Everyone agreed: "It should be a big deal."

"I think they are about the same age, right?"

"No, this girl is so lively. She should be younger than Yuze. Yuze looks younger."

Sun Lanyu's eyes and mouth curved into crescent moons with a smile. Ye Yuze was too lazy to pay attention to these people, they were so uneducated. She is more than ten years older than me. Does brother look that old?

The half-day one-kilometer mission was completed the next afternoon. The manager who came yesterday waved his hand: "Keep going, these 20 kilometers of river embankment will be contracted to you. The price is based on 1,510 kilometers."

Everyone cheered, and Ye Yuze was very moved at this moment. He saw how everyone worked yesterday. Such simple villagers must be allowed to earn money.
