There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

Due to the fact that relatives rubbed money for weddings, the Zheng family's marriage proposal this time was not as pleasant as expected.

Even Zheng Tianjun, the protagonist, pursed his lips during dinner all night, and remained silent from beginning to end, not at all like a happy man who was about to marry a wife.

It's not that he's stingy, but that the He family's quiet extortion is really uncomfortable.

If you feel that the dowry is not enough, just say it, there is no need to be petty to take advantage of this kind of place, and to set a trap for people to make people have to jump there.

Originally, he used more than his younger brother to get married this time, so Zheng Tianjun felt a little guilty.

After all, getting married is a matter of the daughter-in-law's face. If it is rumored that his daughter-in-law's dowry is more than that of his younger sister, the younger sister-in-law's family will definitely be unhappy, and the women in the village will compare these things.

But the He family didn't let go, and in the end the younger brother took the initiative to give in and gave most of the family's money to fulfill his marriage.

Who knew that the He family would trick them into cheating hundreds of Wen of happy money out of them temporarily, everyone would have an idea.

But anyway, the marriage was finally settled.

After the appointment was completed, Geng Tie was exchanged, an auspicious day was set, and they stayed in He Zhuang for one night. The next day Huo Chengyi and others set off to rush back.

Because there is a girl from the He family, the wedding date cannot be delayed, and they have to rush back to prepare.

The preparation of the Zheng family's marriage is not related to Huo Chengyi's business. He went back and briefly told the curious Xiaobai about the marriage proposal, and then he focused his attention on the clay bricks.

The soybean factory has been on the right track, and with the help of Uncle Huo and Huo Dashan, there is no major problem.

On the contrary, the bricks built in the staff dormitory have been used up. Originally, he was going to buy some green bricks, but now he doesn't need them. It would be more cost-effective to spend money to buy green bricks than to burn them himself.

If burning bricks can be implemented, his original construction plan can be changed.

In addition to the staff dormitory, he plans to build another part of the family housing, like the distribution of housing in modern units, and then sell it to the workers below at a low price as a factory benefit according to the employee's grade and length of service.

People in the village have worked hard all their lives and want to build a good house to live in. This temptation is enough to make everyone work harder.

Xiaobai didn't really understand it, but he also felt that this was very good.

If he works for his boss, he will work hard even if the boss gives him a lot of money or things.

"Brother Huo, who should we find to do this job? This is a craft, so we can't just find someone."

Xiaobai doesn't know what a technical patent is, but he knows that the brick-making process cannot be passed on to outsiders. If he wants to burn bricks, he must find their own people.

But the problem is that they have no one to use now. The copycat brothers brought back from the border have basically been arranged in the soybean factory. Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou also took a small part to help Father Zhou build porcelain kilns.

Needless to say, the mountain people need a lot of labor to repair the house, and there is no way to spare manpower.

Huo Chengyi also has a headache in this regard, the things that anyone asked him to produce are all unique technologies, and there were no patent rights in ancient times, so others have learned his technology and left him, and there is nothing they can do about it.

So I can only find another way.

"There are not many people who can use it, so I plan to recruit people in the village to help repair the house, and pick some reliable people from the mountain people to be our long-term workers..."

In fact, the safest way is to buy slaves. Here, slaves are allowed to be bought and sold. With a contract of sale in hand, slaves will never dare to betray their masters.

But it is a pity that he needs too much labor. It is impossible for ordinary people like him to own a large number of slaves, and the government has restrictions.

The only way now is to see if he can persuade some mountain people to be his family's long-term workers. Mountain people are excluded and out of gregarious, and they are currently the safest employees.

In fact, the reason why they are so troubled about manpower is that their career development time is still short, and they have not cultivated usable people.

As long as time is given, Huo Chengyi is confident to get a group of loyal people to use.

But now there is still only the choice of mountain people.

"Well, let's go find Uncle Bu tomorrow, Brother Huo, I can go out with you this time, it's not far from the village..."

Xiaobai had no objection, nodded in agreement, and then begged pitifully.

He has been locked up at home for many days, and the family members are so nervous about him that he is almost suffocated to death. Abu doesn’t know what he’s doing these days, so he doesn’t come to play with him, and he can’t chat with other people in the village. go together.

"it is good."

The daughter-in-law had such a pitiful expression, Huo Chengyi couldn't see why, she nodded with a smile, and then pulled the quilt and hugged him to sleep and rest.

……

After discussing with Xiaobai about the plan of burning bricks, the two of them went to the place where the mountain people lived the next morning.

Although the house is in a hurry to build, Huo Chengyi is still very humane and gives everyone a day off every week. People are not machines, so there must be a chance to breathe.

Today is a rest day, and the mountain people can't go to the town, and they don't interact with the villagers, so they basically chat in the yard and bask in the sun.

The life of the mountain people is simpler than that of the villagers. Because of their limited situation, what they think about every day is how to live the next day and how to survive comfortably.

This year has been the happiest winter everyone has ever had.

Although building a house is tiring, as long as they do the work, they will be able to eat well and have a warm and safe house to live in.

You don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals at any time, and worry about being frozen to death after falling asleep and not waking up.

The children don't have to hide in the cave tremblingly like in previous years, they can happily wear warm cotton clothes and play and laugh in the open space.

The employers who hire them to work are also good people, and there are still a few days a month to rest with wages.

"If only I could keep doing this..."

Every time on a rest day, the mountain people gather in the yard and always sigh this sentence. Compared with the past, the days now are really happy like gods.

But they also know that after the house is built, they have to go back to the mountains to continue to endure hardships. Only when they have a household registration can they enjoy the protection of the court and walk outside in a fair manner.

But the problem is that they all have various black spots and are forced to live in the mountains, and it is impossible to get a household registration.

Seeing that more than half of the house has been repaired, the mountain people are not happy, but worried.

As the foreman who led everyone to work, Bu Jianlin was as worried as everyone else, and he was even more worried.

Recently, his little brother doesn't know what's going on. Before, he was happily jumping around, doing work when he had nothing to do, and went out to chat with Brother Bai, living a heartless life.

Now it is like a frosted eggplant, depressed all day long, not talking or laughing, even eating less food, and making mistakes all the time.

In the past two days, when I woke up in the morning, my eyes were still red and swollen. It seemed that I had cried in bed at night.

But when I went to ask, I couldn't find anything. When I asked his brother, he just bowed his head and said nothing, tears streaming down his face, which made the family very worried.

Bu Jianlin was worried.

His mother-in-law and eldest son also stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they didn't know what to do with the family's sweetheart, the little ancestor.

When Huo Chengyi arrived with Xiaobai, what he saw was the three members of the Bu family sighing and staring in the room.

As a good boss, Bu Jianlin is the construction foreman that he can't live without. He was very concerned when he saw that his employees were not in good spirits, so he hurried up to ask.

"Uncle Bu, you are frowning and sighing, is there something wrong at home?"

Huo Chengyi doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but the poor mental state of employees can directly affect the progress of work, so he can't stop worrying about it.

"It's okay, master, why are you here today? Call me over if you have something to do, our place is in a mess..."

But when Bu Jianlin and others saw him, they were in a slightly better mood, and they got up from the stool and greeted him with a smile.

The other mountain people in the yard also gathered around, with excited expressions and eagerly shouting "My boss" to say hello, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"I'm here today to discuss something with you."

Huo Chengyi doesn't like to show off, but he is still very happy to see everyone warmly welcome him, smiling and nodding to the enthusiastic mountain people.

Xiaobai also came up with a bright smile, "Uncle Bu, I'm here to look for Abu, where is Abu?"

Although they are all married and pregnant with children, but he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. It is the time when young people are active, and finally come out to get some air. Xiaobai just wants to talk to his good friends, because Abu has not come to look for them recently. him.

Huo Chengyi also knew that his little husband was bored recently, so he smiled at Bu Jianlin.

"That's right, Uncle Bu, where's Abu? Why haven't you seen him recently? My Xiaobai hasn't been able to leave the house for the past two months, and I'm so bored at home..."

As his husband's only friend of the same age, he has also met Abu, and like his Xiaobai, he is also a very cute and innocent boy.

I used to come to their house to play, and I could laugh and laugh with his Xiaobai in the yard, but I don’t seem to see him coming recently, and he didn’t meet him when he went to inspect the repair site.

"In the house, this kid doesn't know what's going on recently, he looks worried, Xiaobai, you came just in time, go to the house and ask uncle, little ancestor, we can't help it..."

When mentioning his little brother, Bu Jianlin looked worried again and sighed.

The two little brothers have been playing since they were young, and their family members couldn't ask anything, so they had to let Brother Bai try it, and maybe he could enlighten him.

Otherwise, if Abu goes on like this, he will almost lose weight.

Xiaobai is just a good friend of Abu's, and when he hears that someone is wrong recently, he gets interested, nods, and runs into the house to find someone familiar.

Huo Chengyi is a foreigner who doesn't like entering other people's inner rooms, so he can only stay outside.

He simply has something to discuss with Bu Jianlin here, so he won't hinder the two brothers from having a private conversation alone.

"Uncle Bu, don't be too polite, please help me greet everyone, I'm here today to discuss something with you..."

Huo Chengyi was also familiar with the way, and he took a small bench and sat down to talk about things.

The tone of his actions didn't have the slightest airs of the boss, and he followed the line of being close to the people.
