In Lao Min's words: Now Namu, Nali and the others have positioned their positions more correctly than before.
Especially Nami.
Since the last time she was injured, Nami's father came over and blackmailed Luo Xuan for 15 yuan.
This time Nami mustered up the courage to come over and work in exchange for food. Her attitude is the most correct among all the girls.
Now Nami has begun to look a little bit like a worker...
Since the girls performed well,
These two days,
Luo Xuan kills two chickens every day to improve his food.
Anyway, the chickens here are not expensive, two chickens only cost a little over 4 yuan.
Luo Xuan thought the smell of scalding the chicken after killing it was too unpleasant.
So all these things are left to Miao Meisha and Nami, two girls.
Lao Min looked at Nami who was busy going about her business,
He looked at her figure carefully and praised her sincerely, "Normally I haven't noticed it yet, but this Nami is quite... good."
Luo Xuan glared at him, "Old pervert, just calm down. Now that you have sister-in-law Hanzhu, and such a beautiful sister-in-law Miao Meisha...what else do you want?"
"What an injustice! The conscience of heaven and earth."
Lao Min yelled at Qu, "The place in Miaozhai is different from the one in Laku! If Miao Meisha wanted to find a lover, she would build a small wooden house far away.
At that time, Master Pu will naturally go to meet Hanzhu's sister... If she doesn't build a cabin, who would dare to mess with her?
Unless I’m in the waist, I’d rather be stabbed with a knife!”
Luo Xuan and old Min Zheng were talking.
Lao Dao held up his hookah and walked over unsteadily.
"Hey, village chief, are you here to inspect the work?"
Lao Min joked, "Look, in order to welcome the big leader, Luo Xuan even killed two chickens to entertain you, the big village chief!"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Lao Dao took a few puffs of cigarette and said, "Luo Xuan, please deal with the matter at hand. In two days, I will take you to the other side of the river.
Find those guys who injured Nami and their leader, and have a good talk."
"cold!"
Lao Dao spat, "He came to the boundary of our village to hunt.
Not only did you hurt someone, but you still dared not to share a share of the prey? Are there any rules for this? Is there any royal law?"
This time,
Lao Daodu is secretly using his connections to investigate which village the other party is from.
Now that we have finally found out, Lao Dao is ready to come to the door and have a ugly fight with the other party.
Luo Xuan heard this,
He couldn't help but frown and said, "Village Chief, I have just built the granary. In the past two days, I am preparing to build a hydraulic stone mill!
Moreover, the food in my family is consumed very quickly. It is not a problem to always be able to make ends meet like this!
So I plan to go to Dalong Mountain for a trip and bring back some chestnuts to supplement my household expenses..."
Lao Dao laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry to settle accounts with those guys. They won't be able to move either!"
"I still don't believe it. There are more than 300 people in their entire village, and they can still move Yue Yue's house overnight?"
Lao Dao said, "If you can't leave in these two days, then give it two days. I will come to call you then."
Wait until the old knife is gone.
Lao Min looked at his back and frowned, "There are so many people in the village, why does Lao Dao ask you to accompany him to the other side of the river to talk about numbers?"
"Don't go, Luo Xuan!"
Miao Meisha approached Luo Xuan and whispered, "The people on the other side of the river are even more barbaric than here. If you don't say a word right, the whole village will draw their swords against you."
"Like ours, there are communes and county cadres who can take care of things in the village.
So no matter what we do, we won’t go too far.”
Miao Meisha said, "But this old sword took you to the other side of the river. Something happened in the deep mountains and old forests.
Who can take care of it?
Who can tell clearly what happened?"
Lao Min nodded, "Yes! The mountains over there are high and the emperor is far away. In the deep mountains and forests, or even in the stockade, if you kill one or two people... who can take care of it?"
Miao Meisha echoed, "My sister's man is right! I always feel that this old knife has some bad intentions.
You are not from their village and you followed them to the other side of the river. What can you tell them clearly?"
Luo Xuan pondered for a long time, carefully weighing the pros and cons, "If I say that Lao Dao wants to kill me... it should be impossible. Because doing so would do him no good."
Lao Min was worried, "For a native like Lao Dao, when he thinks about problems and thinks about something.
It is very different from our starting point. Who knows what his brain circuit is like?"
Luo Xuan sighed, "But after all, he is the leader here.
Now that Lao Dao has asked me to follow him, it is really hard to find an excuse to refuse."
Luo Xuan asked Miao Meisha, "Is there a jade mine on the other side of the river?"
Miao Meisha nodded, "There are rubber plantations and banana orchards over there. But further away, there are jade mines.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
But I don't know the specific location. The mountain people there are very wild, and there are many armed militias along the way... It's really too dangerous.
So usually we only move within the sphere of influence of the village and rarely go to other people's territory."
Luo Xuan thought for a while,
He opened his mouth and said, "Perhaps Lao Dao is doing it because I have killed a wild boar by myself.
I want to find a follower with superior force, and we can go to other people's villages to negotiate together... Since I can't refuse now, in two days, I will have no choice but to go to the other side of the Laodao River."
Miao Meisha was full of worry, "Then... forget it. When the time comes, I will go with you too."
Luo Xuan was puzzled, "Lao Dao and I went to negotiate in someone else's village. What are you going to do?"
Miao Meisha puffed up her chest and said, "Don't forget, my village is also on the other side of the river!
Moreover, our village is large and there are many clansmen...Except those who dare to bully the forces in our village, except for those organized armed forces, other villages are not qualified."
In this case, Luo Xuan simply agreed.
There are people from Miao Meisha to rely on,
My personal safety will definitely be more protected... This is not a place to show off as a hero or be bold.
In this period,
The level of economic development on the other side of the river is actually no worse than here.
This is mainly because some Wanwan bosses, as well as Thai pot bosses, invest in rubber plantations and banana orchards there.
It is said that,
There are also some Southeast Asian bosses there who have joined forces with local forces to invest in jade mines.
The economy has improved, but management cannot keep up.
So it's really chaotic on the other side of the river.
Rich people are very rich; people without money are almost as poor as dirt.
This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid Lao Dao's invitation.
Because this guy Lao Dao is aloof and bossy. Of course I can ignore his request this time.
But that is tantamount to,
From then on, my old knife was completely torn apart.
If this happens, I will be very passive in what I do in the future.
It's even possible,
When the rubber plantation was recruiting labor, none of the mountain people in the village dared to come to work to earn food.
After all, what the mountain people love is the food in their hands and two meals.
But in their hearts, they are actually more afraid of Lao Dao, the former leader of the cottage.
Over the years,
The fear that has been engraved in the bones of the mountain people cannot be eliminated in a day or two...
Since we are destined to go to the other side of the river, walk there once.
Luo Xuan planned to look for it on the way to see if he could get some Burmese jade... Anyway, it was just a matter of picking up grass and hunting rabbits.
As for whether it succeeds or fails in the end, Luo Xuan doesn't care too much...
Now that he can live his own life, Luo Xuan no longer has the same urgency as before about expanding his space.
"Luo Xuan, before you go to the other side of the river, I want to accompany you to Dalong Mountain and collect some chestnuts."
Miao Meisha said, "We don't know how many days it will take us to go.
We only have so little food at home, and soon my brother-in-law will lead so many people to burn mountains and open up wasteland...
At that time, the food at home will have to flow out like water in a river... I will put all the chestnuts collected this time into the granary and let Sister Xiaoli register them for storage."
Miao Meisha is indeed a Miao girl.
Their tribesmen are better at management and have better plans when doing things.
So Miao Meisha seems to be very financially savvy indeed.
Moreover, her mentality was also very correct: this time she went to Dalong Mountain and all the chestnuts collected belonged to Luo Xuan.
Miao Meisha just acted as a helper, helping with the work.
No matter how many chestnuts are collected, they all belong to Luo Xuan.
Miao Meisha didn’t take a single pill.
Just because Luo Xuan and Lao Min had already discussed it before: from now on, Lao Min's family of four would come over every day to help Luo Xuan work.
Then Luo Xuan took care of their meals and paid them wages.
In this case,
An employment relationship was formed between Luo Xuan and Lao Min's family: the income from labor belonged to Luo Xuan.
Those who work only need to take their own wages and eat the free meals provided by their employers.
Very fair and reasonable.
But some people don't think so.
"I also need to go!"
Najudi shouted, "I have no food at home, so I have to go to Dalong Mountain and get some chestnuts back quickly."
Miao Meisha glanced at Najudi and hesitated to speak.
finally,
It was Lao Min who said, "Najudi, if you want to go, that's fine. But let's put the ugly words first.
If you are working for your own family, then you have to bring your own tools, rice balls, pickled bamboo shoots, etc..."
Najudi pouted and said, "Then Miao Meisha, does she also bring her own dry food and tools?"
Lao Min smiled slightly, "My Meisha naturally eats and uses Luo Xuan."
"Why?!"
Najudi almost jumped up, "Why do I have to eat the rice balls brought by my family, while your Miao Meisha can eat the good food from Luo Xuan's family?"
Why?!
Old Min laughed: "You actually asked me...why?"
This Najudi went to the mountains and brought the chestnuts she got to her home.
This is equivalent to Najudi and Luo Xuan, but they are traveling together, and they are just companions along the way.
She is destined to have to eat her own food!
Old Min snorted coldly: "My Miao Meisha went to work for Luo Xuan. So of course she can eat Luo Xuan's food."
Najudi couldn't figure out the cause and effect relationship.
Her face turned red with anxiety, "I know, your Miao Meisha relies on you and Luo Xuan. They are both educated youths. You have a good relationship... We are outsiders, so you teamed up to bully me!"
Najudi said angrily, "I'm not going! I won't do the work here either! Namunari, Nami... let's go!"
Said,
I saw her throwing the short hoe in her hand to the ground.
Turn around and leave!
Namu swayed and seemed to be planning to follow Najudi away.
Nami shook her head and stopped Namu with her eyes.
He said, "This time I will hand over all the chestnuts I picked up."
Old Min smiled and said, "Then you don't need to bring food. Luo Xuan will be responsible for all the food and drink."
Luo Xuan asked her, "Didn't your family also run out of food? You handed over all the chestnuts you picked up, and your father didn't cause any trouble for you?"
Nami gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what! From now on, I will work by myself to support myself... I will live here and will not go back."
Na Li smiled sweetly and said, "Two rooms of your house have also collapsed, and there is no place to live when we go back.
Let’s live here from now on. Let’s work and play together... Oh, we have to finish our work before we can play.”
Lao Min secretly exchanged a look with Luo Xuan: It's done!
from now on,
This closed and conservative village will probably start to truly embark on the road of change from now on...
Nami’s small step,
For the entire Laku Village, it is definitely a very meaningful step!
