There was nothing to say all night, and there was a contract thing the next day.Song Jingwei weighed it, and after breakfast, he silently picked up the pen and wrote the contract one by one.

Half an hour later, he saw that he had finally written the finished product, and there were only four words to describe it.

Shen Junxi lingered in the room for a while, and was about to go over to help, when he heard his father shouting outside the door: "Brother Xi, what are you doing?" The courage he finally gathered disappeared, and he went out and gestured to his father: " What's wrong?"

"I haven't been to the tea field for several days, let's go to the field." Shen Dongming said to him.

Shen Junxi looked back and forth between the room and the tea ground hesitantly, but in the end he shook his head and gestured: "I can't go today, I'll go tomorrow." He pointed to the room with a helpless and helpless expression.

"Oh, that's it." Shen Dongming lowered his voice clearly, did he dare to fall asleep and still not make up?This is not possible, he leaned forward and whispered to his son: "Then you hurry up and coax him, the husband and wife have no overnight feud, understand?"

"..." Shen Junxi nodded approvingly, the courage that disappeared just now seemed to have all returned, allowing him to act immediately.

Entering the room, coming behind Song Jingwei, he walked over with a serious face and poked his shoulders. The quarrel was a quarrel, and Song Jingwei could not refuse his help.

"What for?" There was only one person in the world who could poke him like this, and he asked without looking back.

"Hmm..." Shen Junxi picked up the ink stick and began to grind the ink. He accidentally caught sight of the characters Song Jingwei was writing, and he lowered his head and pursed the corners of his mouth quietly.

"You want to help me write?" Song Jingwei stopped the pen in his hand and looked at him, wasn't he in a cold war?Is it over before the day passes?

"En." Shen Junxi responded in a low voice, but still didn't look up at him.I used to like to look straight at him intently, that's because the daughter-in-law is his, so I take it for granted.I won't say much now, I will feel uncomfortable if I think too much.

"Thank you." Song Jingwei thought about it for a while, and said with a slightly awkward expression, if possible, he would like to finish it by himself.It wasn't because he didn't want to accept Shen Junxi's help, maybe it was because he was somewhat guilty, his words hurt a pure person.Or the young man sincerely treats him as a daughter-in-law, but it is a pity that he is not a gay man and has no idea of ​​living with a man.

Shen Junxi waved his hand, not accepting the thank you.Even if Song Jingwei doesn't like him, he still rushes to do things for Song Jingwei.Shen Junxi is actually very happy to be able to help such a favor, it proves that he is useful, not a worthless waste.

Fortunately, the contract was almost finished, and there were only a few copies that needed to be copied out before noon.

After lunch at noon, the group of tenants came to the courtyard of the big house of the Shen family again.

Song Jingwei frowned and checked. There were still no uncles and nephews surnamed Sun and brothers surnamed Wu. He said, "Does anyone know what's going on with them? Are they unwilling to accept compensation or what?"

The villagers who knew the brothers surnamed Wu shook their heads and said, "I haven't seen them in the past two days, so I don't know."

"Is that so? In this case, let's talk about the long-term workers first..." Song Jing frowned slightly, and stopped entangled with the four families for the time being, and explained his thoughts and requirements one by one with the tenants who came to the scene. Screen qualified villagers and sign a contract.

Eighteen people came and signed eighteen contracts.There is only one copy of this contract, which is placed in Song Jingwei's own hands.

"Master Song, my brother Peng has also grown up and is tall and big, can he do long-term work for you?" The man who signed the contract asked loudly.

Song Jingwei said: "For the time being, we only need so many of you to build houses, but... I think the road down the mountain needs to be built, so please wait for a few days until I make a decision."

When the villagers heard that the road was going to be built, their eyes lit up. They all knew that to get rich, the road should be built first.This young master Song is a capable person, maybe it would be better to follow him?

"Okay! Then you have decided and you must tell us." Everyone said loudly, there are men in their family who can do long-term work, if two of them come out to do long-term work, they can earn 60 taels a year, which is what they thought before. I dare not even think about it.

"I will." Song Jingwei assured everyone, and informed them by the way: "Tomorrow everyone will gather there and start working. Is it okay?"

Everyone said: "No problem!"

Song Jingwei nodded and asked everyone to go back. Remember to bring a hoe and shovel when you go to work tomorrow to dig the foundation.

A villager slowly lagged behind, and after most of the villagers had left, he came back and knocked on the courtyard door of the big house of the Shen family.

The one who opened the door was Song Jingwei who hadn't gone far. Seeing the dark man in front of him, he was a little puzzled.

"Master Song..." The man hesitated and said, "There is something I want to tell you about the two brothers of the Wu family."

Song Jingwei said: "Tell me, don't be afraid."

"Well...Actually, the brothers of the Wu family wanted to come, but Sun Laizi and the other bastards threatened them and refused to let them come." The man dared not speak out in anger. .

But Song Jingwei heard it, and he said, "Thank you very much for letting me know. Your name is Li Tiezhu, right? I remember you."

Li Tiezhu was excited for a while, but Song Jingwei still remembered his name. He nodded and said, "My name is Li Tiezhu, yes."

Song Jingwei said: "Okay, you go home first, I have only one way to deal with the brothers of the Wu family." I heard that the uncle and nephew surnamed Sun did it, which is easy to explain, but they came here for money.

After seeing off Li Tiezhu, Song Jingwei told Shen Junxi, "I'm going to the town."

There is no county magistrate's office in Lihua Town, only a small branch office with a few official servants and a part-time case recorder.If there is no major event in normal times, there is no need to report to the county magistrate's office.

The afternoon when Song Jingwei came, luck could only be said, because the newly appointed magistrate happened to come to supervise the inspection.

"The richest man in Lihua Town, the young master of the Song family?" Zhang Benqing heard that someone was looking for him, and he didn't want to meet him at first, but because of the special status of the other party, he hesitated to make a decision.

It was quite a while before Song Jingwei saw Zhang Benqing.He was outside the door just now and heard that Zhang Benqing is a new official, which is very good.

After saying a few words in the hall, Zhang Benqing shut up and took Song Jingwei to the study for a secret talk.

About half an hour is enough, anyway, when Song Jingwei came out, it was already getting late, so hurry up and go back and have dinner in time.

Shen Junxi, who was accompanying him, didn't know what he was doing this trip, and he didn't ask.Seeing Song Jingwei come out, he smiled.

Just finished talking about a case, Song Jingwei was in a good mood and smiled back.

Shen Junxi stared at him intently, already forgetting her previous decision, didn't she decide not to like him anymore and not cause trouble to him?

Thinking of this, the shining eyes dimmed.

Song Jingwei, who was preoccupied with other things, had no leisure time and no time to think about these things. He quickly got into the bullock cart and said, "You can go back."

That short sentence made Shen Junxi a lot happier, because at least Song Jingwei is still with him now.

"Yeah." He smiled instantly, and then drove home full of energy.

"Every time I borrow someone else's ox cart, I really want your father to buy it tomorrow. I'll buy some tools by the way." Song Jingwei thought about it, and also needed to purchase the building materials that will be used soon.He will go back tonight and ask Shen Dongming carefully.

Shen Dongming has never been in contact with building a new house in half his life, and he doesn't understand some problems very well.When his daughter-in-law asked, he smiled and scratched his head: "I don't know much about this, but my brother Chen, his family is in this business."

"Are you building?" Song Jingwei asked.

"Yes, I will take you to ask."

So Song Jingwei was taken out again by Shen Dongming to visit Chen Xianggui's house.This uncle of the Chen family is a man who farms the land. He usually works part-time as a contractor. If someone in the village builds a house, most of them will come to him. It is said that it is an ancestral handicraft.

Song Jingwei took the drawings and discussed with him for most of the night, but did not get a satisfactory result, but at least it would not delay the start of work tomorrow.

In the end, with a salary of 350 Wen per day, Chen Xianggui was hired as a house construction consultant and supervised the construction by the way.

Chen Xianggui was quite surprised when he heard that the foundation of his good brother's new house would be dug tomorrow.Did you start digging without making a sound?He said: "Is it too sloppy? Have you seen your life? Have you seen Feng Shui?"

Shen Dongming shook his head: "Not at all."

"Then what kind of house do you want to build? Are there any people who do things like this?" Chen Xianggui couldn't laugh or cry. He has been a contractor for most of his life, and he has never seen anyone do things like this.The eldest son of the Shen family is the only one in this family.

Shen Dongming smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Xi and his wife made it up, we didn't interfere." Work hasn't started yet, so there's nothing they can do to help.

"How did this happen, brother, you can't let him decide the family affairs. What does a young master know?" Chen Xianggui felt bad for Shen Dongming. He always felt that Song Jingwei suppressed the Shen family when he came. .Didn't you hear what people said outside? This is so embarrassing.

"Good brother, I don't like to hear that." Shen Dongming put on a grimace, and defended Song Jingwei: "My daughter-in-law is different from what people outside say. Don't listen to their nonsense, it's all rumors."

"Really?" Chen Xianggui didn't quite understand what his daughter-in-law said.

"Of course it's true!" Shen Dongming said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I won't say much about your housework brother. I just want to ask about the long-term workers. Each person gets 30 taels a year?" When Chen Xianggui spoke, it was 30 taels. It's not thirty pennies.

His son-in-law and his daughter-in-law heard about it from nowhere, and they have been nagging in his ears this afternoon, wanting the lazy uncle at home to go to work as a long-term worker.

"It's true, too. I watched them sign...a contract." Shen Dongming was very happy when he said a word he heard from his daughter-in-law.Seeing Song Jingwei's way of talking and doing things these two days, he felt that his daughter-in-law was very stylish.
