Chapter 235 Busy

An Ning took An Laoqi to the brigade headquarters, where Sun Dazhuang had already been waiting.

Uncle An and An Sancheng also came over.

"Let's talk in the house."

Sun Dazhuang opened the door to the brigade headquarters. After An Ning entered, he saw a microphone wrapped in a red cloth.

"This is a button. Push it and it will sound. Then you can speak."

"Thank you, mayor."

An Ning thanked him, sat down, took out the scratch paper he had prepared, and turned on the switch.

"Wooer----"

A sound of electric current stimulating laba sounded in the sky above the village.

Almost everyone who was working stopped, and the loudspeaker in the village started to speak.

At this time, the loudspeaker had a very high status and was highly valued by people.

“Hey hey——Puff——”

An Ning said "Hello" twice and clapped her hands twice to make sure the sound was useful before starting to read the manuscript.

"Hello villagers, I am An Ning from An Sancheng family."

"The mountainous land I contracted will be reclaimed starting from today."

"We are recruiting people to open up wasteland today. Those who work the whole day will be charged [-] cents a day, regardless of food. Those who work half a day will be charged [-] cents, regardless of food. Please bring your own tools."

"If you want to work, come to the brigade headquarters to sign up with An Laoqi."

Simple and clear, An Ning read it three times in total before turning off the speaker.

After finishing reading, she saw many people in the yard as soon as she came out of the brigade headquarters.

An Laoqi and An Sancheng were sitting behind a table, busy accepting registrations.

"Dad, Uncle Qi, I'll write it, you just need to name it."

An Ning stepped forward to take over the writing task. As for An Sancheng and An Qishu, they knew each other well, but they were very unfamiliar since they hadn't written a word for 800 years.

And every time after writing a word, both of them would doubt whether the word was correct or not.

It looked a bit similar at first, but the more I looked at it, the less they looked like each other. It was awkward.

The addition of An Ning sped up the whole process a lot.

No one wants to give up such an opportunity to make money in the village.

Anyone in the village who has no serious problems can sign up.

An Ning was only responsible for writing, while Uncle An kept talking and playing the role of blackface.

In a village, there are always some lazy people, and my uncle knows this best, but when he signed up for the first time, he let him sign up.

But Uncle An's ugly words are ahead.

"You can't be lazy. If you are lazy, we won't want it. Don't be unhappy when the time comes."

Everyone laughed and said that they would definitely do a good job. The uncle did not dissuade these people from their enthusiasm. He would speak with evidence and wait until they have done it.

There will be talk about who to fire at that time.

An Ning admired her in her heart, and her men were not slow in their movements, but they also encountered some difficulties.

"Er Dingzi——"

"What?"

An Ning, who was writing in a clear dialect, tilted his head and looked at An Sancheng.

An Sancheng grinned and thought, but finally asked without thinking: "Er Dingzi, where did your last name come from?"

"An Xiucheng."

"Yes, yes, this is it."

An Sancheng's answer made An Ning feel that he might not have remembered anything except the word "an".

Next, An Ning saw how weird the nicknames in the village were.

Tiedan'er, Goudan'er, Niu Dan'er, Old Baldhead, Wang Mazi, Old Cripple Li...

Writing is not troublesome, but thinking about these people's names does waste a little time.

And in order to avoid confusion, An Ning also marked the nickname behind each big name.

In the morning, it took an hour just to register.

After the registration, An Ning shouted directly: "Start working today and your work will be counted. As long as you work today, your work will be considered full."

This time, people are more active.

The cheering crowds all ran towards their homes, holding tools.

An Sancheng, Uncle An, and Uncle An Qi went to organize it. Those who cut down trees and those who dug stones must divide their labor.

In the end, An Ning was the most relaxed person.

But she didn't have a few minutes to spare. An Ning made a call to the machinery factory and asked for her batch of steel pipes for the greenhouse.

Factory Manager Li across the street personally arranged a truck to drive An Ning over.

After An Ning expressed her thanks, she hung up the phone.

The poles arrived and so did the plastic.

An Ning contacted Director Li of the textile factory. They had talked about plastics before. Director Li said that he knew a chemical factory and could buy it cheaply.

An Ning made a round of phone calls and found that no one needed to go. Everything he needed was basically complete.

When she hung up the phone, she realized that connections were really good.

Of course, what comes and goes is the way to go.

The parts for the greenhouse are on the way, and the next step is to buy various seeds and the fruit seedlings needed on the mountain.

An Ning has no ideas for the time being, and it will take some time to wait in the fields and mountains.

So she simply took a shovel and went to work in the mountain.

An Ning carried the shovel up the mountain and met Jiang Xia who was also going up the mountain.

She looked at Jiang Xia's outfit and the direction she was walking.

"Are you going to open up wasteland?"

"Yeah, it's only [-] cents a day. I can buy several popsicles."

Jiang Xia passed An Ning, leaving An Ning alone behind with her thoughts knotted.

An Ning took a few steps to catch up with Jiang Xia and asked, "Do you still need to earn [-] cents?"

"Although I have money, I can't spend it recklessly, right?"

"My level of thinking is beyond your reach."

An Ning looked at Jiang Xia, who was walking faster again, and said in an undisguised voice from behind: "Big liar."

She saw Jiang Xia stumble, turned around and gave her a thumbs up and said, "What he said is becoming more and more down-to-earth."

An Ning was amused by the shameless Jiang Xia, and chased Chen with a shovel.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

An Ning knew that Jiang Xia was trying to help her, so it was not difficult to say thank you.

There was a secret smile at the corner of Jiang Xia's mouth, but it was harder than a stone.

"I want [-] cents, don't give me less!"

The two went up the mountain one after another. One went to the west to dig stones, and the other went to the east to pick up branches.

The people on the mountain are very active and enthusiastic.

Everyone is familiar with each other, and it is very lively.

At noon, there is a break from twelve to one o'clock. Everyone goes back to have lunch and continue working in the afternoon.

An Ning and Jiang Xia also followed down the mountain, but after eating, the two people went up the mountain separately and met at a mountain stream deep in the mountain.

An Ning came a step earlier and looked down at Jiang Xia who was climbing the mountain.

"I thought I was on the wrong track."

"The chance of you going wrong is about the same as the chance of going wrong with my rhubarb."

An Ning rolled her eyes obscenely and asked:

"Where's rhubarb?"

Jiang Xia finally climbed up and sat down on the stone.

"Dahuang is at home, why don't I, brother Dahuang, come over?"

An Ning stared at Jiang Xia's face carefully and said, "Brother Dahuang, I suspect your face is not clean."
