Chapter 252: The dog that bites does not bark, you must be patient
Liu Xiaozi followed Mr. Liu and got down to the ground. As if to vent his dissatisfaction, he kept cutting down the corn stalks with the sickle in his hand, much faster than the others.
The helpers in Hongxing Village did not move slowly, and it was noon quickly. It took a lot of time to go back and forth. The village chief did not let everyone go back, but asked the villagers to deliver the prepared meals to the fields.
Everyone finished their lunch on the ditch, then went to find a shady place and went to sleep.
Mr. Liu was getting old and couldn't sleep, so he sat on the roadbed and smoked the dry cigarette he had brought.
In this way, these helpers from Hongxing Village worked day after day for 10 days to finish harvesting the corn field.
On the last day, the last bit of land was harvested in the morning, and the village chief had a sumptuous lunch cooked as a thank you to the helpers who came from afar.
After the meal, Peng Tou paid the helpers 50 yuan a day as agreed in advance.
There is no need to calculate carefully. For 500 yuan per person, just count the money from the stacks of hundred-yuan bills and start distributing them one by one.
"Uncle, this is yours, count the number."
"Young man, this is yours. You are really good at crop work. You can do it the fastest."
Peng Tou held a large amount of banknotes in one hand, counted out five banknotes with the other hand, and handed them to Liu Xiaozi.
If in the past, you could earn 500 yuan after ten days of work, Liu Xiaozi would have been so happy. But now that Liu Xiaozi took over the 500 yuan, he felt bad.
Peng Tou didn't pay attention to this and continued to walk to the next person, paying wages in the same way.
"Third brother, where's the money? Bring it here." As soon as the wages were paid, the third daughter-in-law couldn't wait to reach out to her.
"You know money every day, but you seem to be obsessed with money." Although the other party said this, the third child still handed over the 500 yuan he just got.
There are four people in their family, and the total cost for these ten days is 2,000 yuan. For their family, this is really not a small amount.
The third daughter-in-law happily counted the banknotes again, and then she put the money into her pocket with satisfaction.
Soon, the wages of the thirty-two people were paid.
"Thank you for your hard work over the past ten days. Thank you for your hard work." The village chief stood in front of him and said to everyone in Hongxing Village.
"The bus has been prepared for everyone. This time we will not take the small car. We will take this big bus. It has air conditioning, which is great." Peng Tou said from the side.
After listening to Peng Tou's report, Ah Fei knew that about thirty people from Hongxing Village had been recruited to help. He didn't like the tossing back and forth, so he simply found a bus so that he could send these people back at once.
After finishing their meals and collecting their money, the villagers from Hongxing Village lined up to board the bus.
The car roared, but the closer we got to Hongxing Village, the more solemn the atmosphere on the car became.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Mr. Liu repeatedly stopped Mr. Liu from talking nonsense, he could not stop others from talking.
Zhang Quan privatized the "accumulation field" and maliciously raised everyone's contract fees. These two pieces of news have become the talk of everyone after dinner. Every time they mention it, they all feel itchy with hatred.
The bus roared and soon entered the territory of Luan City. Looking at the familiar scenery around them, the villagers on the bus couldn't be happy at all.
It felt like there was a big stone stuck in my heart, which was heavy.
Even the good mood of making money was diluted a lot at this moment.
The bus finally stopped on the road outside Hongxing Village. On the bus, Liu Xiaozi got off the bus with Mr. Liu and started walking towards the village along with the flow of people.
I don’t know whether Liu Ye walked very slowly on purpose or not, and soon he lost touch with the rest of the group.
"Master Liu, you must be exhausted these days. Let me help you." Liu Xiaozi thought that Master Liu was tired, so he hurried over to help him, for fear that the old man would fall down again.
"I'm fine. I walked slowly on purpose. There's no one here, so I just want to say a few words to you." Mr. Liu said softly.
"Young man Liu, you are too outspoken and can easily offend others. Zhang Quan and the others are not good people. They can do anything. Last time they were in the greenhouse, they found dozens of gangsters to take over the job.
They were beaten to death, even after coming here for so long, but Zhang Quan and the others are still fine. We plain-headed people can't fight them. When you return to the village, you must control your mouth and don't talk nonsense. If
If Zhang Quan and his family hear this, they will definitely come up with all kinds of harmful tricks to deal with you."
"It's okay, Mr. Liu, I'm not afraid of them." Liu Xiaozi said blankly.
"You're not afraid, but what about your parents? What should they do? You can't just be impulsive and just try to be happy. That won't help them and will only bring trouble to yourself."
"As the saying goes: a biting dog never barks, that's the truth. People who pay lip service to everything will never achieve great things. You have to know how to be patient. If you really have a chance in the future, you can use your efforts then."
Mr. Liu was right. Even if he told everyone in the village, it would be insignificant to Zhang Quan and his gang. It would have no effect at all. It would only make Zhang Quan hate him, which was simply not worth the gain.
Wanting to understand this, Liu Xiaozi said softly:
"I understand, Master Liu. I won't talk nonsense after I return to the village. Don't worry."
"That's good, let's go back. We're old and useless. We've only been working for ten days, and my bones can't stand it anymore." Mr. Liu sighed, reached out and patted his back, and walked towards the village.
After sending Master Liu home, Xiaozi Liu also returned to his own home.
There is still a big crack in the wall of the two adobe houses, which I repaired with yellow mud.
As soon as I entered the door, I met my mother.
"What's going on? You're so frowning and you don't have your wages?" My mother asked hurriedly when she saw Liu Xiaozi's dejected look.
"I don't know, I got my wages back." Liu Xiaozi couldn't be happy anymore. He took out the five hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to his mother, and said, "I worked for ten days in total, and this is five hundred yuan."
Money, here you go.”
When my mother saw the money, she thought it was Liu Xiaozi who was unwilling to take out the money.
"Son, my mother saved this money for you to get a wife for you."
"I know, just keep it. I don't have any objection to how you use it. I'm tired, so I'll go to bed first."
Liu Xiaozi returned to his room, and fell down on the kang with his head down, grabbing a pillow. Liu Xiaozi still couldn't calm down for a long time.
I looked around my room. Although it was not a bare house, it was still really poor. The only electrical appliance in the house was the old flashlight on the windowsill. There was no battery in it and the light bulb was long gone.
It's broken, it's just a fake.
"I'm so unwilling!"
Liu Xiaozi pressed the pillow on his head, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
On the other side, Peng Tou took care of the work in the village and took Xiao Guo and three others back to the city.
Peng Tou came to A Fei's office and made a call to Yu Yang using the landline in the office.
"Mr. Yu, hey, it's me."
"The things you told me have been taken care of, and those people have gone back. They should all be home now."
"Yes, don't worry, I have told them everything that needs to be said, and in the past ten days, they have already begun to discuss it internally."
"Attention, among these people, there is a young man named: Liu Xiaozi. Through my observation, I found that he hates Zhang Quan more, and he has a straightforward and upright personality. There is also an old man, others call him: Mr. Liu.
, he must be over 60 years old, he should know some inside information."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu. Thank you, Mr. Yu. I am so ashamed of myself. It is my duty to serve the company."
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Yu."
Peng Tou hung up the phone with a smile on his face and respectfully put the phone away upright.
A Fei sat on the boss's chair opposite, opened the drawer, took out two wads of banknotes, placed them on the counter, and pushed them over.
"Take it, ten thousand is yours, and you give them three points for the other ten thousand."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, and thank you, Mr. Fei."
Peng Tou was not polite and reached out to collect the 20,000 yuan on the table.
"Lao Peng, have you been working as a foreman for some time?" A Fei asked casually.
"Thanks to the care of the leaders, I have been working for a year." Peng Tou replied with a smile on his face.
"Do a good job. We all see the hard work you put in for the company. Over time, the transportation team will continue to expand, and there will be times when you can contribute to the company."
"Please rest assured, leaders, I will work for the company wholeheartedly and will never let down the love of my leaders."
When Peng Tou heard this, he felt so happy that even a fool could tell that he was trying to remind himself.
"Go and get busy." A Fei said.
"Then I'm going out, Mr. Fei."
