Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"There are many such shameless people in this world."

"Are Dongzi and Cuifen okay?" Xu's mother asked eagerly.

Xu Wanning shook her head: "Cuifen is fine. Dongzi was beaten by several elders and suffered a lot of injuries. But fortunately, they were just superficial injuries. He will be fine after staying in the hospital for a few days."

"That's good, that's good." Xu's mother and Lin's mother both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gengming should live in our house during this period. Cuifen has limited energy alone and cannot take care of Dongzi and Gengming at the same time."

"Okay, anyway, Geng Ming is a well-behaved child, and he can play with his brothers and sisters. However, Geng Ming is over two years old and can understand what adults say, so Dongzi's injury is not a matter of concern. Try not to say it in front of him and let the child know that you are worried."

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone present.

"By the way, Mom, let me tell you something."

"You said."

Mother Xu and Mother Lin spoke at the same time.

The scene was a bit embarrassing.

Xu Wanning did not correct which mother she was calling.

That would just make it more awkward.

"I received a call from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the provincial capital today. After they learned about my return to Heilongjiang Province, they specially vacated the experimental field for me and waited for me to bring the seedlings for cultivation. So tomorrow morning I will I’m going to the provincial capital, and Lin An will be with me.”

Mother Lin said: "It is true that Anzi will accompany you. You have never been to the provincial capital. You are not familiar with the place. We can feel more at ease with Anzi accompanying you."

Xu's mother said: "You have to go out before dawn tomorrow? It's such a cold day and the road is not easy to walk. Are you going to take a bullock cart or what? How about I go to the brigade headquarters and call your dad and ask him to find someone? I’ll borrow a car and come pick you up tomorrow.”

Xu Wanning said: "Thank you, Mom, but no need. President Chen of the commune will ask his driver to pick me up tomorrow and take me to the county seat. I will just take a bus from the county seat to the provincial capital."

The county seat is close to the provincial capital, and it takes a long detour by train. On the contrary, it only takes an hour or two by car. If there is no delay on the way, she will go to the Agriculture Bureau tomorrow morning, and after finishing her work, she can come back in the afternoon.

"That's alright. Let's just thank President Chen properly then."

"When Lin An and I leave tomorrow, it will be up to the mothers and Tsuen Tsuen to find someone to repair the house."

Xu's mother didn't interrupt. After all, this was the Lin family's business. She was the mother-in-law and couldn't interfere too much.

Mother Lin nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this. All the village chiefs can find are good house builders. An Ning, do you have any ideas about the house we want to build?"

Xu Wanning did have some thoughts, so she expressed them one by one now, so that Mother Lin could be aware of them.

"This time our house will be built bigger. At least Lin An and I will have a bedroom, and mom, Tsuen Tsuen, and the four children will each have separate bedrooms. There will also be two guest rooms. There will be a place to stay in case someone from my family comes over. In addition, I want to build a separate toilet. The toilet will be according to our specifications in Beijing. "

Mother Lin was a little embarrassed, "You said you want to build a house, and everyone can do it. You also wanted to use a kang instead of a bed, and there were some experienced craftsmen who could barely make it. But this toilet, I guess it won't work."

Although some people now use dry toilets, the excrement is left behind for fertilizer and is not flushed with water, so the smell is very strong.

Xu Wanning still cannot accept dry toilets in rural areas.

So when she was in Dajiang Village, if she wanted to be more convenient, she would close the bedroom door and go into the space to solve the problem.

But this is always inconvenient, so building a cleaner toilet is the best solution.

Lin An knew whether Xu Wanning's secret base had a used squat toilet. She bought it specially before returning to Dajiang Village.

When she went to buy it, Lin An accompanied her. Lin Anhe specifically asked the boss about the installation method, and even understood the drainage system.

"It doesn't matter. Leave the toilet to me. I'll fix it when I get back from the provincial capital. Don't worry about that."

"The other thing is wages. I asked Factory Manager Sun about it. With the economic conditions in our Ji City, if you go out to work for a day and do manual labor, you can earn 50 or 60 cents. Our house is easy to build, and the people It’s too much, and I can’t contribute much, plus I have to take care of two meals, so I’ll give each person a salary of 50 cents per day.”

Xu Wanning looked at Lin Quan: "Bring a notebook tomorrow. Those people will come to work and how many days they will work. Write them down clearly so that you can settle the wages then."

Although it is only five or six days' work, a person can only earn three yuan at most after a full day of work. It is nothing to Xu Wanning, but it is also a windfall for the villagers.

At least I can buy a few kilograms of pork, so I can have a good year this year.

"No problem, I can do this."

"As for the food provided by the supervisor, each meal will be based on the standard of two kilograms of pork. If there are many people, we will add more vegetables. In addition, there are fish in the water tank, so we can cook crucian carp soup for everyone."

It's not that Xu Wanning is reluctant to take out too much meat. Two kilograms of meat is not a small amount. If she takes too much, it will feed the villagers' mouths. If someone wants to build a house in the future, the food will not be good. , is going to be scolded.

Xu Wanning didn't want to set a precedent.

What's more, when people in the village build houses, they exchange jobs with each other. They only need to take care of one meal, and there is no need to pay wages.

She not only paid wages, but also provided good meals, which was all her kindness and righteousness had been done.

Although everyone's life is difficult, this difficulty is not caused by her, and there is no need for her to be taken advantage of.

"In addition, take out a pack of cigarettes every day. Anyone who works can have one. The cigarettes don't have to be too good, just any cigarettes you can buy."

"We also have a lot of melon seeds, peanuts, fruit candies and the like at home. Don't be stingy about this. Put two plates on the table. If everyone wants to eat, just grab whatever they want. Just treat it as a happy occasion."

It is whatever it should be. Xu Wanning will never increase the market price just because of her good conditions.

Otherwise, she is harming people.

But being able to give it to everyone on a small scale is not very valuable, but it can make everyone eat happily and bring them closer to each other.

In this regard, Mother Lin did not say a word "no" throughout the whole process.

Aning must have her own reasons for doing this.

She just listened to Aning's arrangements.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow, so you can't stay up too late."

"I understand, Mom, you should go to bed early."

At night, Xu Wanning and Xu's mother were lying on the bed side by side.

"Why do I smell plaster? Is anyone at home injured?"
