Good mountains, good water, good people

After booking the entire mountain, Gu Changning became really busy.After spending millions of dollars like that, he still felt a little flustered in his heart. If he couldn't make any money, he would really bury himself in this mountain, so now he is under a lot of pressure. Big, all I can think about is planting something on the mountain.

I've been busy recently, so he didn't go out to sell vegetables in the morning, and asked his father and uncle Sanquan to drive a tricycle together, and the two of them would come back after selling the vegetables.Anyway, his father followed him, and his father took the money for selling vegetables, so he was quite relieved.Otherwise, they will all be handed over to outsiders to sell, and they will not know how much money they will make, so they will not be too relieved.

It is not that simple to develop a mountain. First of all, he must have a certain understanding of the mountain.

It took two days for Gu Changning to turn over the entire mountain with his feet. Except for the land at the foot of the mountain in front that was developed, the land above the mountain was undeveloped.

It's really that there are too many mountains on their side, and there are few people in the mountains, so the land that can be developed by manpower is relatively limited. Otherwise, the mountains here would not be rented to him so cheaply.It's rare to meet such a fool as him who came back to farm in the mountains. No wonder many people secretly scolded him for being taken advantage of.

Gu Changning didn't know if he was wronged or not, but he felt that those who scolded him behind his back were really stupid.

The last time I went up the mountain with his father when the water pipe was installed, Gu Changning knew that there was a stream on the mountain, and there were some wild small fish in the stream, not particularly big, the small ones were not as big as a little finger, The big ones are two pieces wide and less than the size of a palm.It's not easy to catch, these small fish like to hide in the crevices of rocks, so let's let go of catching fish first.

But what surprised him was that there were some wild tea trees on the mountain, which seemed to be relatively old. Maybe they could fry some tea for sale this year?He doesn't know how to stir-fry tea, but his family, including his grandparents and his parents, can do it.

At that time, he can learn how to cook with his family?

When Gu Changning came down from the mountain, he saw that his father and his uncle Sanquan had returned from selling vegetables, and his father was sitting under a tree talking to some men in the village.When he got closer, he recognized who the men were, greeted them, pulled a low stool to sit down to rest, and chatted with everyone by the way.

The two puppies followed him to climb the mountain for half a day, and when they came down, they lay on his heels and did not move.

"These two dogs belong to your family. They don't look like native dogs. What kind of dogs are they from?" One of the men recognized the two puppies lying at his feet and came over to follow them. He strikes up a conversation.Gu Changning just smiled and said, "It's a golden retriever. My friend's dog gave birth to a puppy and sent it to me to raise."

"Oh, this dog is very valuable. I heard that one can cost tens of thousands." The man who spoke was a little greedy looking at the two puppies, and asked, "Are these two dogs male or female? Cubs? I’m going to give birth to a cub and send me back to raise one.”

"Both of them are male, and they won't give birth to puppies." Gu Changning's words dispelled the other party's idea of ​​asking him for puppies.

He sat down and listened for a while, and from the conversations of several people, he knew that they used to work on the construction site in the city, but the work on the construction site a year ago had already been done, so the few people have not found new jobs now. , Now that I come here, I want to ask them if there is a shortage of manpower to work here, and I want to find a job with them.

There is definitely a shortage of people, and it just so happens that he also wants to recruit a few more people to work.It's just that he didn't know much about their personality and character, so when they heard that they wanted to find a job with him, Gu Changning didn't immediately say that it would be good to let everyone come to him.

"You work on the construction site, why do you get seven or eight thousand wages every month?"

"Hey, how can it be? It's just so nice to say. For us small workers, the maximum is one hundred and fifty a day, and it's only four thousand or so for a full month."

A few people chattered about their remuneration for working outside. It was nothing more than how deceitful the foreman was. Not only did they work hard, but they often deducted their money. How hard it is.

There are also many dangers in the construction site. If a brick falls accidentally, a person can be killed. Several people talked about some things they saw in the construction site, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed.

So if they could find a job in their hometown, a few people actually wanted to go back to their hometown to find a job, and didn't want to go outside.

"I'm already in my 50s and almost [-] this year, and I can go out and work for a few more years."

"Yeah, those of us who go out to work, our parents, daughter-in-law and children are left at home. For so many years, except for coming back during the holidays, we haven't come back to play at other times. Now the old parents are old, and they can I don’t know how many years of good life are left, every time I come back to see them, I always feel that seeing them is one less time. Hey~” When it comes to the old parents at home, these strong men outside can’t help but wipe A handful of tears from the corner of my eye.

These people have been here for a while. Village Chief Gu knows what they think, they are all from the same village, and he also wants to help everyone.It's just that his son is still in charge of the affairs here, so he can't make the decision about recruiting people. Now when his son comes back, he will ask his son with his eyes, what should we do with this matter?

Gu Changning received the look from the village head of their family, Gu Changning, and knew what the village head meant.

Now that he has already said this, he seems a little too unreasonable before he opens his mouth, "I do need some manpower to do things here, but you guys know that I am starting a business now. In the early days, we didn’t have much money on hand, so the wages we are paying now, which is about a thousand yuan a month, are incomparable with the money you earn from working outside.”

"If you don't dislike the low wages and hard work here, you are willing to work here for a while, and I welcome it."

"Yes, yes, we have inquired with Lao Quan, and we know that your wages here are not as high as ours working outside. Heh, isn't this closer to home? It doesn't matter if you have more money or less. It is an income. We are not afraid of the hard work we do on the construction site, but are we afraid of coming back to farm, don’t you think?”

"That's right, if I can find a job with you, I won't go out to work this year, and I will stay here to work."

Several other men also agreed one after another, saying that it is close to home, and they can go home to spend time with their parents, daughter-in-law and children, and it doesn't matter if they have less money.

Seeing that everyone had no objection to the low wages and hard work, Gu Changning had no choice but to nod, "Okay, if the uncles want to come to my place to work, they can come here early in the morning. We are here during the probation period. My salary is 1600 a month, which used to be the same for Uncle Sanquan and the others, and the salary will be raised a bit when I become a full-time employee. I used to go to work at [-]:[-] a.m., but now I have to collect vegetables in the morning, and I have to come to work at [-]:[-] a.m. I will split it into two shifts and arrange different people to work different hours."

"Uncle, you guys go back and think about it. If you think my place is okay, come over here before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll talk to you about the details." Gu Changning didn't lie to everyone on this point, You can talk about how much you pay, and the work is not easy.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't signed labor contracts with the employees. Later, he would ask his classmates who are lawyers how to customize the specific labor contracts, and ask his friends to help write a copy and send it to him.Otherwise, now that so many people are invited to work without even a formal labor contract, it seems that he is too informal here.

"Hey, okay, let's go back and discuss it with our family." After receiving affirmative answers, the men chatted with Village Chief Gu for a few more words, and then greeted them and went back.

After a few people walked away, Gu Changning looked at their village head Gu and asked, "Dad, do you think they will come to our place tomorrow?"

"It should be. No matter how little money is, it is money, right? It's better than sitting at home with nothing." Village head Gu knows the people in his village quite well. Everyone is afraid of poverty, no matter how hard or tired they are. No matter how low the wages are, as long as they have the money, there will still be people willing to do it.Besides, although the work here is a bit hard, it is close to home. If you go out to find work, you have to be far away from home.

"But son, when we make money in the future, we can give everyone a proper salary increase." After all, he is also the village head of their Yunxi Village, and he is also the one who strives for a proper salary increase for the people in the village. What the mayor should do.

"Okay, that's no problem. I'll raise everyone's wages when I make a profit here. I'll also give dividends to my father and mother, grandparents. You are all old shareholders and heroes, and you will all be paid a big bonus."

"Hehe, I don't need your grandma and the others."

The father and son made a few jokes and chatted about what kind of trees to plant on the mountain. Gu Changning sent a WeChat message to Zhang Huasheng who came to give them fruit seedlings last time, asking them what kind of trees they have now. Better seedlings.

Zhang Huasheng quickly posted some pictures for him, and told him what kind of fruit seedlings they had, and asked him to go over there to have a look.

It doesn't matter if you go and have a look, Gu Changning replied, [I'll see if I have time in the next few days, and if I go, I'll call you. 】

[Okay, welcome anytime. 】

After finishing the conversation with Zhang Huasheng, I saw the WeChat that he pinned to the top, clicked in and looked at the chat records of the two of them. The most recent chat was the night before, and the two chatted a few words almost every day before going to bed.Knowing that Senior Brother Qin is probably busy at the moment, so he won't send a message to disturb him at this moment.

The cat on the previous profile picture disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a personal photo of the man himself.But don't say it, it's pretty good-looking?

Sliding his finger over the photo, he quit the WeChat chat, turned off the phone, and put the phone in his pocket.

***

Just in the afternoon, he was about to go out to the town to send some goods to some friends by courier. Gu Changning called his father to drive with him. After delivering the goods, he let his father go back by himself. Just took the bus to the city.I went to the city to find an old classmate who worked in a second-hand car dealership, bought a second-hand Honda from my old classmate in less than an hour, paid the money, and drove straight home.

After driving the car back home, Gu Changning invited Village Chief Gu who happened to be at home to see his new car, "How is it? Is my car not bad?"

Village head Gu really didn't expect his son to go to the city and come back, and even drove back a car.

However, after knowing that his son bought the car, Village Chief Gu was more than happy and surprised. He patted the hood of the car and said with a smile, "Not bad. How much did you pay for this car?"

"This number." Gu Changning compared a number with his fingers, "How about it, did you not lose money?"

"No way, it's so cheap?" Village Chief Gu's eyes widened. Are four-wheeled cars so cheap now?

"Does it look like a new car? It's a second-hand car. The previous owner sold this car after driving it for two years. It happened that an old classmate of mine in high school was working in a second-hand car dealership. I went to buy it from him. Yes." Before going to buy a car, Gu Changning himself knew the original price of the car and the price of a second-hand car, knowing that it is not a loss to buy this car at this price.

"Not bad, good car, good car, congratulations to our son for picking up a four-wheeler car. Tonight, the two of us, father and son, oh, and your grandfather, have a good drink and celebrate." Gu Cun The boss congratulated his son on buying a car, and needed to celebrate.

"That's for sure. Go up and sit down?" Gu Changning opened the car door and asked Village Chief Gu to sit up and feel it.

Village head Gu sat up and felt it for a while, then got off, feeling here and there in the car with his hands, and then got off when he was addicted to his hands. The old wrinkle with a smile on his face called his son to go home together, "Let's go, Let's go home and eat."

"Okay, I'll close the car." Gu Changning raised the window and locked the door before going home with his father.

As soon as he got home, Village Chief Gu told his family about his son's new car purchase. Mother Gu was both surprised and happy. She was surprised that her son went to buy a car without saying a word and came back. After that, there are people with cars.

Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu, who happened to be back, knew that their grandson bought a car, and they were very happy for their grandson.

Even grandma laughed when she saw that the family members were happy.

"Grandma, I bought a car. When I have free time after a while, I will drive you to the market with your grandparents and grandparents." Gu Changning led their old lady to the dinner table Go to dinner and tell your family that you have time to take everyone out to play.

The old lady was supported by her great-grandson to sit where she usually ate, she smiled and replied, "Okay."

On this day, even the three grandparents of the Gu family were drinking, and Grandma Gu didn't say anything.
