Chương 86: Brothers, coming Back home
The village chief laughed and scolded: "Daniu, I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you snatching at me for! You're too impatient!"
The other villagers laughed after hearing this. Xu Daniu chuckled twice and scratched his head in embarrassment.
The village chief continued: "It has been raining the past few days and everyone can't even go out. The Xu family came to me and decided to build roads for the village!"
When the villagers heard this, they burst into flames and started talking.
"Is this true?"
"It must be true. The village chief has said so. How can it be false?"
"The Xu family's people are really great benefactors, they've always helped the village after earning money, and now they're going to help the villagers build a road, that's a big deal!"
"Yes, the Xu family is benevolent and righteous, everyone knows that once this road is repaired, we will all take advantage of it!"
There were also some older people who raised their hands excitedly and said: "Everyone would like to thank the Xu family for making such a great contribution to the village!"
For a moment, the villagers all bent down to thank the old man, and they kept saying thank you.
The old man spoke up and said: "Don't be polite, I should do this. Since my family has the ability, why not do it! This will not only be convenient for everyone, but also convenient for myself. It is also a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. I believe that in the future our village is on a good road, and its future development will not be bad. As long as everyone lives well, I will be happy!"
The villagers were very moved after hearing this. Some villagers pulled out their children and said excitedly: "Quick, thank you Grandpa Dashan, and kowtow to Grandpa Dashan."
Other villagers have followed suit, a group of small carrot head on the clearing kowtowed toward the old man, they do not understand what it means, only know that Grandpa Dashan wants to build a road, but their own parents want to kowtow, they will do as they are told to do.
The old man hurriedly said: "What are you doing? Get the children up quickly, the ground is cold!" After saying that, he helped the little boy closest to him and patted the soil on his knees.
The village chief said: "Brother, you are worthy of being so grateful by the villagers. Speaking of which, even I have to thank you. As the village chief, this can be regarded as my achievement."
The old man smiled and said: "Having you as the village chief who considers the villagers wholeheartedly is a blessing to Xujia Village!"
The village chief waved his hand and said: "Brother, I'm joking. The village chief must take on the responsibility of the village chief. I should do these things." After saying that, he turned around and shouted loudly to the villagers who were still talking in low voices: "There is one more thing I want to make clear to everyone. Don't feel uncomfortable! The Xu family plans to pay the road construction workers twenty-five cents per person, which is a few cents higher than those who work in greenhouses!"
After hearing this, the villagers were quiet for a moment. The village chief thought that the villagers had objections, and his heart was in his throat.
A man said loudly: "What's the point? It's much easier for us to work in greenhouses than to build roads. We usually have more free time, so it's normal for their wages to be higher!"
Xu Daniu also said: "That's right, I work in a greenhouse. Not only have I not lost weight, I have gained a lot of weight. Besides, we have long-term jobs. How can this compare?"
"That's right. This road was originally built for our village. If we still care about this, then are we still human beings!"
For a moment, everyone felt that this was the right thing to do, and there was no sign of displeasure on their faces!
The village chief was very pleased and said: "Our village is all sensible. What everyone said is right. We can't be short sighted!"
"Even so, we are not the kind of people who don't know what to do!"
When the old man heard what the villagers said, he smiled and said: "Thanks for your support, then I'd like to trouble you all to find out if there's any of your own relatives who haven't got any work to do, and if they don't mind they can come to work."
Some daughters-in-law and aunts were overjoyed, their maternal family's eldest brother are still at home resting, this time the Xu family repair road is just right, and also before the New Year to earn some silver to go home.
For a while, the villagers all agreed in unison.
The village chief asked everyone to dismiss the meeting, and he had to go and decide on the sand and other materials first. The old man took the village chief back home, and asked Uncle Xu and the village chief to drive the ox cart towards the town.
Only when Second Uncle Xu and the village chief walked away did the old man tell his family about the meeting he had just had.
Wang said: "Fortunately, the people in our village are sensible. Otherwise, although the road construction is for their own families, they would feel a little unhappy after all."
The rest of the family nodded. Anyone who does good deeds and is criticized will feel aggrieved. However, this situation should not happen in Xujiacun.
In the afternoon, when Xu Dabo saw that the road was easier to travel, he planned to drive the carriage towards the town, and it was time for the children to return home.
In the afternoon, eldest uncle Xu hadn't returned, but second uncle Xu and the village chief did.
The two of them were traveling all the way, and Mrs. Wang quickly asked Mrs. Zhang to get two glasses of water.
The two took a sip of water, and then Uncle Xu said: "Father, Uncle Village Chief and I went to the place that specializes in selling sand and stones and asked, and the boss said that the road paved with rammed earth and stone slabs is the only one that's sturdy, doesn't break down easily, and is also smooth, but the price is a bit more expensive than the one that's paved with just sand and stones."
The old man thought about it and said: "Okay, then let's make the repairs as good as we can, then you go and talk to that boss tomorrow and ask him to deliver the goods!"
The village chief said: "Okay, okay, then I'll go with my second son tomorrow. Their things are all ready-made, so there's no need to wait. There will definitely be a lot of relatives in the village who need to come to work. It will definitely be repaired before the Chinese New Year!"
The old man said: "Village Chief, there is one more thing I want to say, which is the issue of feeding the workers who come to build the road. Our family may not be able to feed so many people at once!"
The village chief said: "I will make it clear. Just let them bring their own dry food when the time comes!"
After everything was discussed, the village chief also went back.
Wang and the others were going to make dinner, the children were returning home today, so they had to make more delicious food.
Not long after, Uncle Xu came back with his carriage. As soon as he stopped the carriage, all the boys in the carriage jumped out one by one.
Xiaowu shouted happily: "Grandma and Grandpa, Mother, we're back!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the kitchen rushed out of the kitchen when they heard the commotion, Wang's happy face smiled out of the folds, and went forward to embrace Xiaowu in her arms, saying: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Mrs. Zhang pulled Wenwu and Zhiyong over, touched their heads and said: "How are you in town these days? Have you taken care of your brothers?"
Xu Wenwu smiled faintly and replied back: "Well, it's very good, the barbecue restaurant owner treats us all very well and cares about us, and our younger brothers are all very obedient!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled happily and asked: "Have you fallen behind in your studies?"
Xu Zhiyong was the first to say: "Mom, you don't know that my eldest brother is often praised by his master in the college. Even the dean appreciates him very much!"
Third brother Xu Zihao said: "Yes, Master values eldest brother very much. Master also said that the most naughty one is Xiaowu!"
Mrs. Li nodded her head and said: "I knew you'd get itchy if you weren't disciplined, what did Mother teach you? I told you to listen to your brother and the teacher at the academy, but you just ignore it, don't you?"
