The Shen Ping brothers carried the rice noodles on their backs and walked back to the wooden house. After such a fuss, Shen Ping changed another lock. In order to avoid such a thing from happening again, Shen Dong was asked to hold the key.

Because he was afraid that He Yao wouldn't come to help, the village chief sent the boss He Ming to call him early the next morning. He Yao finally came after waiting for a long time.

Seeing He Yao coming, Shen Xi threw two empty mud buckets over: "You! Go over there quickly and pick up a few buckets of reconciled mud."

He Yao looked at the mud bucket with disgust and picked it up carefully, for fear of getting his hands dirty. Taking it and sighing

"It's a sin, it's a sin. I'm a scholar, but I have to give up my waist for two buckets of rice and end up in such a miserable situation. It's really an insult to my gentleness!"

He Yao finally picked up the loaded mud after trying several times, but he had never picked up anything before, let alone weighing dozens of kilograms.

He Yao staggered a few steps with a blush on his face, then stopped to rest for a while. He Ming looked at his second uncle's hard work and was about to come over, but was stopped by He Jing.

"Brother, you can help your second uncle for a while, but you can't help him forever. Just listen to dad and leave him alone." After hearing what He Jing said, He Ming had no choice but to pretend not to see his second uncle's embarrassment.

He Jing was right, he really couldn't help him. After all, he was here to earn wages.

"Come here quickly, the mud is gone." Shen Xi shouted to He Yao.

He Yao could only grit his teeth, suppress his blush, and pick up the mud again. He staggered a few steps and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Suddenly two buckets of mud poured on the ground, and He Yao's whole face was lying in the mud, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Hahaha..." Many villagers laughed. They all joked

"It's really strange that the future scholar also comes to work!"

"That's right, didn't he just say that it was insulting to be polite? Let's see if he is still polite now, hahaha..."

"You nerd, you really don't succeed enough and fail more than you do, oh! What a pity for these two buckets of mud!" Shen Xi cursed, feeling sorry for the mud, and patted his thigh with a look of pity on his face.

"You...you are going too far..." He Yao wiped the mud from his face and said angrily.

Shen Ping couldn't stand it anymore, looked around at the villagers present, and said with a cold face: "We are all villagers, there is no distinction between high and low, they are all here to earn a wage, I don't want to hear this again in the future In this case!"

Seeing the seriousness on Shen Ping's face, the guys quickly put away their attitude of watching the fun and started working. This Shen Ping is not someone to be trifled with. If she annoys her, the job will be gone.

Besides, you can work here, have good food and drink, and get paid every day. Where can you find such a job at this time?

He Ming came over and shoveled up the mud scattered on the ground.

Shen Ping glanced at He Yao and found him funny and angry: "He Yao, go back and change your clothes first!"

This He Yao has a nerdy air. Although he is tall, he has no strength and cannot do anything.

He only knows how to read and eat, he is a complete nerd. I couldn't help but secretly shake my head, such people are like modern-day gnawing old people.

You can still protect me if you are here, but if you are not here, what will you do for food?

After what happened just now, I thought He Yao would never come again. But after a while, He Yao went back and changed his clothes and came back again, which surprised Shen Ping.

Unexpectedly, He Yao was still somewhat arrogant, and Shen Ping couldn't help but nodded.

Shen Ping told Shen Dong and Shen Xi to practice He Yao well and not to feel bad for him. A good master is the one who is willing to teach.

In these famine years, if you want to survive, you can't just rely on your mother.

If you can't carry mud, then carry water. He Yao doesn't even have the strength to carry a bucket of water, let alone carry mud.

In the first few days, He Yao focused on carrying water, and slowly and step by step, he picked up more water bit by bit.

Although He Yao was not good at work, he was not lazy either. Besides, he had good food and good food every meal. He ate well and had enough strength. He Yao gradually started to work.

Moreover, Shen Ping discovered that He Yao also had another advantage, that is, he could read and be able to work as a clerk and be responsible for statistics and attendance.

Of these dozens of people, it’s really hard not to remember anyone. Shen Ping asked He Yao to be responsible for the attendance of workers every day. Before starting work, each worker must first come to He Yao to sign in.

Sometimes these workers need to take leave for family matters and only work for half a day. These have to be taken into account, and He Yao will also calculate how much wages should be paid to those who take leave. Yes, then the accountant will also be hired by him.

As for the things in the kitchen, I don't know how much they were spent on this day. Shen Ping asked He Yao to take care of this and be responsible for counting the things in the kitchen.

What he learned finally came into use, and now He Yao has gone from being reluctant at the beginning to being very busy every day.

Some villagers made fun of him at first, but now they began to admire him. This learned man was different wherever he went. At least his life was easier than his own.

In addition to doing these two things well, He Yao is also responsible for purchasing wood. In his free time, he also has to carry water and mud. The more he works, the more energetic he becomes.

In this way, Shen Ping also found herself at ease.

Although Gu Dong was deducted from his wages, he had no complaints and did not cheat. Shen Ping saw this.

This house requires a lot of wood. Not long after the construction of this house started, Shen Ping began to purchase wood in the village, purchasing it according to the standards given by Shen Dong.

We purchase fir trees uniformly, with lengths of 6 meters and short lengths of 3 meters, ranging from 15 to 10 centimeters in diameter. In addition, 4 beams are required, with a diameter of 20 cm.

There are a lot of fir trees, but not many that meet the specifications. The fir trees must be long enough, thick enough, and straight enough. The most important thing is that the purchased wood must be peeled off.

Shen Ping gave the purchase price, which was 6 cents for a 20-meter fir piece, 3 cents for a 10-meter fir piece, and the most expensive one was the beam, which cost 50 cents each.

This house requires about thirty or forty fir trees, and the four houses require nearly 500 fir trees.

As soon as the news came out that Shen Ping had purchased a large amount of fir trees, everyone was immediately excited. There isn't much to eat on the mountain now, but this wood is quite a lot.

Everyone went to the mountains to look for wood and chopped down suitable wood. Many people could chop more than ten logs a day. Shen Ping also left the job of purchasing wood to He Yao.

Shen Ping also handed He Yao the responsibility for measuring the wood with a ruler and the money for purchasing the wood. She was grateful for Shen Ping's trust, and He Yao did everything properly.

In less than 10 days, the required wood was purchased, sorted according to size, and all piled on the side of the wooden house, dried in the sun, and dried quickly.

Every household in Kaoshan Village also made some small money by selling the fir trees, which allowed them to buy some food and temporarily relieve the pressure.
