It has to be said that when Aunt Guo came to renege on the contract, she did not bring any money.At that time, the deposit was all taken by her family to buy vegetables and meat. She really had no money at hand, and she thought that people should be easy to talk, so she came here with nothing.

As a result, I was scared back by the big blue brick house that day.Later, at the banquet at Mr. Miao's house, some people said that it was not kind to the people from the workshop to block the way, and then they were laughed at and said that they couldn't be stopped, because all the people who went there were in horse-drawn carriages.If rumors like this spread, if everyone pays more attention to the fact that she broke the contract with Yang Dalang's family and went to pick up the banquet at Mr. Miao's house, wouldn't her family's reputation be worse?

So, when Yang Dalang came to ask for money, Aunt Guo dared not argue at all.If you say you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, and if you want compensation, you grit your teeth and give it.After all, if one's reputation is doomed to be bad, obediently paying compensation may make the badness less serious.

And Yang Dalang chose this time to come, and he also had the intention of taking advantage of the situation.

At this time, most people in the village are on their side. If they don't come now, when will they wait?

This is also the point of the treasurer Jin.They said that there are two roads in the town to his house, so why did they choose the one that everyone can see?No, it's just giving people momentum.This is gone, there is no need to spend a little bit of money, but it can benefit the other party and show gratitude, and the relationship will be closer in the future.That's what judgment is all about.Where the situational conditions and niches are, as long as you see clearly, things can't go anywhere.

Among the five taels, the three taels will be withdrawn, and the two taels will be compensated.Compared with the nine taels they originally booked for half a table, they got back nearly a quarter more, which can be said to be not a low compensation.It can be said that Yang Dalang lost most of the profits from the scene at Mr. Miao's house that Aunt Guo took another pick.

When Miao He heard it, he felt happy.

"Five taels!! Oh, that's a lot!! By the way, I even forgot about the deposit."

Yang Dalang loves the way his little brother smiles and his eyes soften.

"This amount of money can be cleared by someone."

"Suspicious? Are you willing?" Miao He was surprised.He also had this idea, and he wanted to wait for some money to be saved before he said it.He didn't want Yang Dalang to be so tired, but he was afraid that people would think he could do it by himself, so he didn't want to waste money.

"If you invite someone, you don't care about the food, but you will give money." Yang Dalang added.

Spending money to hire people can make the borrowed momentum more popular, and the timing is just right.

Miao He was a little hesitant, "Will this be unreasonable?" It seems that most of the villagers are called workers.

Yang Dalang took it for granted, "You are pregnant, so you can't be tired."

Miao He choked.Although it is true, it still sounds awkward.

In any case, after the matter was settled, Yang Dalang went outside to work on it the next day.It is said that the busy farming will be in half a month, and the only time to invite people is the period before the busy farming.

And what Miao He has to do is to ensure that Xi Rang does not cause any strange things during this period of time when a bunch of people come and go in and out of his yard.Then there was no food, but some snacks or drinks had to be provided, so I squatted silently to the backyard to collect a bunch of flowers and plants for making herbal tea, as well as sweet potatoes and peanuts.Add some leeks and garlic to the unused parts, and it can also be used as fodder for sheep.

Incidentally, the last time Yang Dalang went out was to buy sheep.No pregnant ewe was found, but a dairy goat that had just given birth to a lamb, and the lactation period was still long.The lamb is also a female, and after a few months of raising it, it will be able to conceive and produce milk, so it cost a little more money, and Yang Dalang brought back even the first lamb of the ewe.

It's just that the sheep house hasn't been finished yet, and this time the hiring meeting will be listed as a work item.The location is set not far from the chicken house, which is a high and ventilated place.

So, there are more and more animals.

Miao He smiled and looked at the two docile and well-behaved milk goats that were temporarily tied up in the backyard.Four hairballs were running around at their feet, and Dabai was squatting beside them.What a harmonious scene (scared lamb: ???), it is full of vitality.

The next day, Yang Dalang quickly recruited more than a dozen men to help.

There were old and young, Yang Datong Yang Dachuan who didn't take wages, Miao Ping, Miao Gao, Miao Dahu, Miao Dahai who Miao He knew, and two brothers from the Lu family who were carpenters all came.There is also Miao Qiang who always avoids Miao He, but he doesn't say any bad words.

Yang Dalang agreed with them to work fifty dollars a day.This means that one tael of silver can be collected in 20 days, which is not inferior to the wages of working in the town.Those who were called were not only those who had a good relationship with Yang Dalang, but also Uncle Ma who was not familiar with him, Miao Er who was a little bit talkative before, Miao Wa from Aunt Yu's family, and even the two sons of the village chief.

People come, in addition to earning extra money, some people are also curious about Yang Dalang's new house.It's a pity that the fence outside blocked the line of sight, so it's not easy for those who don't have close acquaintances to come to the door. Now that there is this opportunity, anyone who is interested has come.

And this time, there were even more surprises.

"Tsk tsk, it really is a blue brick house. It is as beautiful as those big houses in the town!"

"No, I thought it was a small room. I didn't expect it to be so grand, and the surroundings are so tidy and spirited. This Yang Dalang is really hard to see."

"Just count the money that Dalang hired this time. Hey, at least four or five taels will be spent!"

"At the beginning, no one laughed at him for getting a mountain. The family was poor or poor. If he got a mountain, he could only say that he would not die of hunger. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Yang Dalang built the blue brick house."

"Never mind, Mr. Miao's family is also in embarrassment. There were no people in their family before. It can only be said that Yang Dalang would curry favor with the townspeople if they had a carriage. Now that there is this green brick house, let's see what Mr. Miao's family has to say. He Everyone still lives in the earthen house."

"So people, you can't be too proud when you are proud, otherwise God will want to clean up after seeing it. The workshop was so beautiful before, everyone in the family wore new clothes and hired workers, but in the end they insisted on grabbing people's land. I even go to stop people from eating hot pot meals, and they always talk about some reason, and now it’s like this, I don’t believe it if it’s not retribution!"

"I just hope that after Yang Dalang develops, he won't be so proud like Mr. Miao's family."

"Hey, you're here to earn money today, why are you talking so much? Work hard!"

"Okay! But wait, I'll pour you a cup of tea!!"

"Just now I saw you drinking a lot, and the pot is almost empty, what's the matter?"

"Don't tell me, this herbal tea is really delicious!! I've never had such a smooth drink!"

"It's just herbal tea, it's so strange." The man hasn't drunk it yet.

"Uh, maybe I should drink less, I'll drink some, it's okay!" No, people can't grab it.

"Look at you drinking like this, let me have a drink too."

"Huh? Oh, good. But there's only a little left, sorry."

"It doesn't take much, moisten your mouth and...!?!?"

"..."

"No wonder you drink it all the time!!...No, I have to ask Brother He for another pot!"

People in the village chatted, drank tea and worked at the same time. On the other side, the stiff-faced Miao Qiang called Yang Dalang out to talk after he got up the mountain.

On the day of the hot pot meal, he promised not to cause trouble, so his mother was willing to let him go.But as soon as he arrived, he found that he didn't know how to talk to Da Lang.Obviously, they have always talked and said things since they were young, even if they quarrel, they can quickly make up, but now...

Thinking of this, Miao Qiang's face became gloomy again.

But I have to admit that what his aunt said may have some truth.

His mother said that if my brother had a child, no matter what he thought about it before, it would always fade away a lot.A child's life is not a matter of saying don't want it.Besides, the two of them are getting better now, who in the village would not envy them, and how could Brother He be so ignorant.

Hearing these words in Miao Qiang's ears, the thought of "Then if there is no child..." would occasionally flash through.It's just that this idea made Miao Qiang feel that he was too dark and too much.After all, it was Da Lang's child.What's more, if he really caused him to lose his child, Yang Dalang will never forgive himself, and what awaits him is definitely a word of severance.

Struggling between rejection and introspection, Miao Qiang reluctantly came to the conclusion that since A Niang said it was because of the good life, Miao He would not mess around.Such a brother is realistic and calculating.He wants to continue arguing with Da Lang, how can he catch someone if he is far away?

So Miao Qiang took a deep breath, "Da Lang, I was wrong earlier. I said too much, I, I feel sorry for you."

Yang Dalang couldn't see Miao Qiang's reluctance, but he still complied.

Miao Qiang nodded stiffly, "I, I just can't turn the corner for a while. Brother He's attitude has changed so much before and after, and he looks weird, which really makes people suspicious. Don't blame me."

Yang Dalang frowned, and said, "Don't talk about this in the future."

-

The manpower invited, five taels of silver, is only enough to invite seven or eight days.However, under the division of labor and cooperation of more than a dozen men, the speed of clearing and pulling trees is much faster.

This mountain was originally the back mountain of Miaojia Village. In the past, people often came, and the trees were not as dense as ordinary forests. Miao He also instructed to keep those particularly tall and deep-rooted trees. Therefore, in just a few days, half of the mountain was full. The sheep coop and the chicken coop have been rebuilt to be strong and beautiful.

It's just that half of the clearing mountains have been cleared, and every time they are finished, they always give up halfway. Miao He gritted his teeth, set aside the little money left at hand, added four taels, and kept people to finish clearing before the busy season!

The villagers were very happy when they heard that it was going to be processed.Here it is said that no food is given, only silver is given, and the silver given is indeed more than other jobs. Then, there is actually food in this aspect!Every half an hour before work ends, He Ge'er will roast a pile of sweet potatoes and a pot of peanuts, saying that it is a snack for people who are very hungry.

Sweet potatoes are worthless food, yes, but the sweet potatoes baked by He Geer are all soft and dense, and the sweetness is even better than the cakes in the town! !After eating it the day before, everyone couldn't stop eating. Three or four stuffed their stomachs, and they didn't feel hungry when they got home at night.

Add a small handful of salty and crispy peanuts fried in oil. Although the amount is not much, let alone, it is really fragrant and crispy, and it is big and enjoyable! !Pair it with delicious herbal tea, eat and drink, and satisfy everyone.Even Miao Er, a lazy man, was much more honest in his work the next day after eating the snacks the day before.

Everyone, until the beginning of the busy farming season, a group of men shouting "If you have work in the future, you must call me back" After returning home with the last day's wages, the entire mountain was almost cleared.Only the outer circle is left, and the original ecology of the forest is deliberately preserved to set up traps, which are more or less used to block the beasts outside.

Miao He looked at the fruits of everyone's labor with satisfaction, even if he only had three taels of cash on hand, he couldn't stop his good mood!The next day, I dragged Yang Dalang up the mountain, facing the root pits left one by one, dropped the seeds and used the soil to quickly plant small fruit saplings!

Xinxi soil is really great.Spread the soil and cultivate young saplings very quickly.In a few days, the two of them built a small forest.

At this time, it is also before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
