Chapter 43 Today is a good day!
After one month, the road connecting Lingshui Village to Sanhe Town was completed.
The county magistrate Zuoqiu personally visited the road completion site and presided over the wage payment ceremony.
Boss Xu and the second brother also went to work for a few days and received a total of 2,000 yuan.
The entire road construction project cost a total of 200 taels of silver.
Except for the one hundred taels that Mr. Xu didn't want, the county government paid 100 taels, and the remaining money was shared by the people of Lingshui Village, and the family paid hundreds of cents. And this money was made back through the road construction work, not only did it make it back, but it still made.
Therefore, the people in the village applauded.
Zuoqiu was the county magistrate after all, and when he saw the joyful scene in front of him, he immediately had an idea.
By the beginning of the next spring, Zuoqiu started a bridge and road construction project across the county. The county government paid part of the money, the village paid part of the money, and the local wealthy households donated some, and then used a combination of servants and local villagers to give wages, successfully completing the road renovation project within the entire county town, and wrote a brilliant mark on his official evaluation.
Of course, this is a later story!
After the wages were paid, Zuo Qiu met Mr. Xu again, and inexplicably praised Mr. Xu, and also wrote a copy of "Jishan Family" to Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu is naturally grateful for this.
Although Zuoqiu is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, this person has made great contributions this time and his future will definitely be upright.
Even if Mr. Xu is not in the officialdom, he knows that Zuoqiu's future will not stop there. With Zuoqiu's handwritten letter, when Zuoqiu's successor and the new county magistrate arrives, he must look up to their Xu family.
So, Mr. Xu was in a good mood and encouraged the villagers to leave Zuoqiu, the county magistrate, in Lingshui Village, for a pig-killing rice.
The weather is getting colder, and the pigs that have been raising for a year are getting fat!
The time to kill the New Year pig may be a little earlier, but today is a good day, who cares about this?
Of course, the pigs that were killed were not raised by Lao Xu's home.
This pig belongs to the Laoqi family of Junzhengguan.
Guan Laoqi, who wanted to show off in front of the county magistrate, was the unswerving contribution of his own fat pig.
The people in the village had a beautiful meal of slaughtering pigs. Although they dare not say that the meat was enough, at least everyone had eaten meat and had a big dish with meat flavor.
This is one word, beauty!
After seeing off the county magistrate Zuoqiu, Guan Laoqi took Mr. Xu's hand and said, "Brother Xu, you are my brother and my nobleman!"
"Brother Lao Qi, what are you saying?"
Mr. Xu quickly waved his hand, "I and my family took my family to our village back then. If it weren't for your elder brother's care, I wouldn't know where to bury it!"
"You have put in a lot of effort when my house built that house, and I remember all these!"
"Hehe, Brother Xu, let's not talk about these!"
"In this life, no one can help me when they encounter danger, then I will help me!" Guan Laoqi burped, "I, Guan Laoqi, never thought of any great prospects in my life, but your big nephew, can't be useless!"
"Learn, you can't go up or down, and it's just like that for so many years!"
"This time, I have asked you for your blessings. Your eldest nephew went to the county government office to be a clerk, which is quite promising!"
"All this is thanks to you, brother!" Guan Laoqi grabbed Mr. Xu's hand and burst into tears of gratitude.
Chapter completed!
