Chapter 247 Settlement of wages

The village chief is an impatient person and can't let go of things on his mind. When the village was in trouble before, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep all night long. Whenever he had some ideas, he would get up to make arrangements, even at night.

When the matter of the guard team came up, he didn't even bother to discuss it with Jiang Yan, so he went out and walked to the threshing floor with the gong in hand.

The sound of the gong was deafening, frightening many of the men who were hugging and making out with their daughter-in-law at home, and they all gathered in clothes and trousers towards the threshing floor.

The cold wind blew, making everyone tremble in their teeth and tremble all over. Everyone gathered in twos and threes. Although they were muttering complaints, they still had to follow the sound of the gong.

With their noses hunched, the villagers asked in puzzlement: "Uncle village chief, what are you doing today? It's so late at night that your tongue is too cold."

"That's right, why can't we say it at noon, when it's cold and dark, and we're having dinner at home."

"It's... the bed my wife and I just got into..."

Clang Clang Clang!

Three crisp gong sounds instantly silenced everyone.

The village chief yelled: "What are you yelling at? It's okay. Why did I ask you to come here?"

"I just know how to hug my wife under the covers!"

"Let you stock up on enough food and live a comfortable life, and then everyone will become lazy and slippery!"

The village chief was angry. He listened to everything Aunt Jiang said just now. He had seen bandits with his own eyes. Those demons who didn't care about their lives and dared to kill people with knives. Just hearing about it made him panic.

"The watch team in the village is paid daily. If you still don't go, or you go and be lazy, starting tomorrow, every household in the village will have someone to join the watch team and patrol for two hours every day. Who will

If you dare to act like a monster again, I will throw him into the manure pit directly!"

The villagers yearned for each other in confusion, and the wells that had dried up since the end of autumn gradually began to have water. Although it was not much, it showed that other villages were not short of water for the time being.

They no longer need to send people to guard the bamboo rafts. When the weather is hot, the mountains will be cold and cold, and it is even worse when the weather is cold. Everyone has food at home, and everyone wants to have a cat at home.

The village chief repeated what Jiang Yan said with a cold face and an angry tone, emphasizing that bandits would rob the family's food several times.

Everyone who was still looking confused and confused suddenly turned ugly. Even the scoundrels in the village were speechless and unable to say anything to refute.

Everyone is lucky to have late rice this season, and everyone cherishes it closely. Although the grain output is large, the villagers themselves are reluctant to eat more. Most of them keep it and go to the town to exchange for coarse grain money, and the rest is kept as pawn.

Grain seeds.

"Aunt Jiang will lead you to plant late rice and peppers. The surplus grain will allow you to spend this winter safely. If you don't guard it well and let others snatch it away, you may not be able to survive the next spring.

."

The young men in the village shouted: "Uncle village chief, we were wrong! I will go to the guard team to report tomorrow!"

"Me too, I will never be lazy again!"

"Me too..."

The shouts kept coming, and the village chief felt a little relieved. He said earnestly: "You are protecting not only the village, but also your own. It is comfortable to be lazy for a while, but when the bandits break into the house, there will be no regrets.

It’s too late.”

The village chief spoke at the top of his lungs, as if bandits were about to rob the village at the next moment. The younger children in the village were so frightened that they rushed to sign up to participate, fearing that the rice they had just brought home would become someone else's in an instant.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan left with peace of mind. As long as the village was more tightly guarded, even if bandits became the norm, there were so many people in Linjia Village, they would not dare to force them easily.

When he got home, Lin Bei had already called Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng's family over. The two families, Lao Lin, had become accustomed to eating. They were no longer as reserved and cramped as before, and the relationship between the three families was even closer.

Lin Dong and the others hadn't come back yet. Jiang Yan asked his two daughters-in-law to cook wontons. He took out a small book, looked at the two families and said with a gentle smile: "Thanks to your help during this time, the third child is a strong man."

, thanks to the two of you, otherwise he would have to be busy with flowers."

Lin Xihan laughed a few times and scratched his head, "Mom is right, Uncle Wu understands materials, and the materials he bought for me are of good quality and price. Uncle Lin is also great. With him watching, the construction team doesn't dare to fool us."

."

Both Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng have been working in the town all year round. It does not matter that there are few construction teams who know about building houses. Some construction teams may vaguely ignore some places where corners can be cut because the owner does not understand.

But there are two knowledgeable people who are checking it, and they don't dare to be cautious. Although the progress of this house is fast, the quality of the project is still very good.

Jiang Yan smiled and continued: "The house is almost finished, and the construction team is also preparing to settle the wages. I plan to settle yours as well, and I want to tell you something by the way." After that, Jiang Yan took out thirty taels.

The silver was divided into two parts.

"I calculate your wages according to the construction team. I don't know how they divide it internally, but I will calculate it for you as fifteen taels per person. You have worked hard these past three months."

Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng just wanted to help, and never thought about the wages. Aunt Jiang had helped them so much, and they were so kind that they refused again and again.

"How about that? What's wrong with you building a house in our village? Besides, we have a good relationship with each other. How can you give me any money? And you can give me so much! It's only been more than three months, and you still have to take care of the food. You have

No matter how much money you have, you can’t make it like this! Put it away quickly!”

Zhang Yanzi spoke loudly and quickly, without waiting for Jiang Yan to react or even think about it, she grabbed the silver coins and stuffed them into Jiang Yan's arms.

"Yanzi is right, you have helped us a lot. In the future, we can still take soap bases and sell them for money from you, but we can no longer take your money!" Lin Junbai's little face was full of seriousness.

She was not good at words, so she could only wait and look at Jiang Yan gratefully with her big, clear eyes.

Old Wu, who was always silent, nodded in cooperation, his strong and strong features also showed determination, "We can't take this money!"

Lin Yousheng also frowned: "We know you are thinking of us, and we are also thinking of your kindness to help. Don't worry about us not having money. When your house is finished, we will go out more often to make money.

The wages you pay are low."

"Yes, the reserve price you gave us is low, and we will earn more by selling it. There is no need to calculate the wages so clearly, otherwise we would have the nerve to take advantage of you." Zhang Yanzi immediately agreed.

During these days, because of Jiang Yan, their family's life was getting better and better, especially peppers and late rice. They grew a lot of them and earned more than most people in the village.
