"Zhengguo, move your things down quickly and we will help you carry them back."
"Tian Jing,..."
"Zheng Guo,..."
There was a burst of random shouting, and Grandpa Xiao realized that it was the villagers who came to pick up his granddaughter, and he was frightened.
Tian Jing waved to the car window. She thought it would take half a year to get back, but who knew she was back in just two months.
As soon as she jumped out of the car, she heard her sister-in-law's loud voice, "Sister-in-law, you are back. If you don't come back, I will take my mother to find you."
While speaking, Li Min had already pushed aside the villagers in front of her sister-in-law, "Get out of the way, uh."
Li Min was stared at by her sister-in-law, "Uh, little, sister-in-law, my mother and I miss you. My mother cries when she misses you. She, she is behind..."
"Sweet~"
Mother Li was being helped across the river by Mrs. Niu, but her daughter threw her directly on the inner bank.
In her eyes, she could not see her youngest son or grandson, only her youngest daughter-in-law.
The little daughter-in-law who is like the magic needle of Dinghai.
Seeing the tears in her mother-in-law's eyes, Tian Jing's eyes also became moist, "Mom, we are back."
"Yeah, well, it's good to come back, it's good to come back. If you're not at home, we've lost our backbone."
Tian Jing turned around and helped her grandpa down, "Mom, this is my grandpa. Grandpa, this is my mother-in-law."
"Hello, my great-grandfather."
"Hello, my dear grandma."
This title is not wrong if it follows her baby.
"Grandma~"
"Grandma~"
Li Weihao and Li Weibo jumped out of the car and circled around Mother Li.
"Eh, eh."
Grandparents and grandson reunited enthusiastically.
Tian Jing was worried. The cotton padding under her daughter's buttocks was full.
"Li Min, go back quickly and prepare bath water for your niece. After settling down, we can talk about old times."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Li Min dropped her eldest son and dragged her husband, who was holding her younger son before he could say a word, home, "Xiaofu, follow your brother Haohao."
The enthusiastic villagers gave the space to the Li family after sending them back to their home.
After eating a simple farm breakfast, I washed up and settled my grandpa and Uncle Xiao Aguang in the west room.
Grandpa is getting old, so he will sleep on the bed temporarily until winter, while Uncle Xiao and A Guang sleep on the kang.
Ah Feng and Li's mother live in the east room.
Haohao and Xiaobo can go to their aunt's house to sleep with brother Xiaofu, or they can sleep with their great-grandpa.
The bed in the east room was moved to the kitchen, and Tian Jing and his wife lived in the kitchen.
Li Zhengguo wants to take Master Zhao and three others to stay at someone else's house.
Master Zhao disagreed, "Let's go see the land first, and then just build a shed on that land."
"Then I'll take you to see it first."
Li Zhengguo took Master Zhao and his apprentice to the land at the Educated Youth Point.
Master Zhao was very satisfied when he saw the size of the land. It was just enough to build a three-in-one building.
He urged Li Zhengguo to find someone to build a shed and demolish the old house.
Li Zhengguo was not in a hurry, "I haven't finished my request yet."
"You said."
Master Zhao is anxious. He wants to build the main courtyard of the Second Courtyard before winter comes.
"This place is close to the river. One is to prevent rising water and the other is to prevent the ground from getting wet, which will affect both people and houses. Therefore, we do not build the first floor but build the second floor."
"No one layer covered?"
Li Zhengguo nodded, "Yes. Pour a platform with cement, build a courtyard on the platform, a garden under the platform, and the land from the east to the river will be built into a private park."
"The private park is separated from the garden here, but the line of sight is not separated. On the platform, there is a step in the third courtyard that leads directly to the garden on the first floor."
"The steps to the second floor gate must be wide and stable. It doesn't matter if they are longer. If our own land is not enough, we can just extend it. Then we will pay some money to the village."
Li Zhengguo's idea made Master Zhao very happy. This innovation should be beautiful.
"But, but, how do you lay a foundation on a cement platform?"
Li Zhengguo pointed to his feet and said, "Lay the foundation on the first floor, and pour the entire first floor into a cement frame structure like a building."
Master Zhao scratched his head, "I, I still lack the skills in this area, can I, please call someone else?"
"Scream, the more the better. While maintaining quality and quantity, time is compressed."
Master Zhao was anxious, "Are we going to take a telegram now?"
Li Zhengguo went back and asked his eldest brother to drive Master Zhao to the county town to take telegrams. By the way, he took A Guang to the county town to buy some toiletries.
Then he accompanied his two apprentices to find Captain Ou, oh no, he should call him Village Chief Ou.
He plans to rent two offices and use them as bedrooms for the masters.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo are back, and Village Chief Ou is the happiest.
The village is in chaos.
Let’s talk about watermelons first. He had already asked the villagers to only plant watermelons on three-thirds of the land and continue to grow cotton on the homesteads where no houses would be built for the time being.
However, last year's income made the villagers dizzy.
Tian Jing was not at home, so they raised seedlings by themselves. The seedlings they raised did not look too bad. Some people even boasted that Tian Jing raised seedlings, but that was all.
But after planting, the longer it grows, the more it will grow.
When it blooms, the flowers will be as small as melons.
If there is only one melon left on a vine, it will not grow as fast as last year without melons.
I have been busy with topdressing and watering, but the growth rate of the young melons is still very slow.
The villagers cried bitterly while guarding the melon fields, saying that they might as well grow cotton.
As for the crop fields, the villagers found that the crops were not growing as well as last year. Even the crops of the dozen or so companies that were on Tian Jing's blacklist were worse than last year.
There is also a vegetable patch, which is obviously much worse than last year.
There are superstitious villagers, counting from the time Tian Jing entered the village, the final conclusion is: Tian Jing is the lucky star in Kushan, and she must not be allowed to leave Kushan.
Now that Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo are back, whether there is any way to save this year's harvest, the villagers should feel more at ease.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Li Zhengguo coming with two strange young people.
"Zhengguo, it'll be good if you come back."
"Village Chief Ou, these two are the masters I hired to build the yard. I want to rent two offices to house them. I wonder if the offices can be vacant?"
"Yes, yes."
Village Chief Ou nodded repeatedly, "There is only one office that is commonly used. I will ask someone to clean it out right away."
"Sorry to trouble the village chief, I'll take them back first."
"Jungkook..."
"Um?"
"Forget it, you get busy first."
"If the village chief has something to say, just tell him directly. It's hard to offend people."
Village Chief Ou told the villagers about their melon fields and crops.
Li Zhengguo saw the melon and vegetable fields in the village as soon as he entered the village.
He didn't intend to let Tiantian rescue him, just to teach the villagers a lesson.
"I don't care, I can't control it. We tasted the benefits last year, but we are not at home this year."
"No one is raising seedlings, so they all dare to increase the planting area, completely forgetting Secretary Ji's words."
"I'm not their father. I don't have time to wipe their butts. I need to teach them a lesson."
"Otherwise, if you are more courageous next year, your work arrangements will be even more difficult."
"Village Chief Ou, you should take the opportunity to criticize them severely instead of helping them remedy the situation."
Party Secretary Yang had also told Li Zhengguo what he said, but Mayor Ji was supervising agriculture, and he could not let Kushanli become a hindrance.
Li Zhengguo still shook his head, "They don't listen to Mayor Ji's arrangements, and they should be severely criticized as a model."
"By the way, the village chief helped me find a group of helpers to demolish the old buildings in the educated youth center and canteen. The removed stones were stacked neatly and can still be used."
"The dismantled adobe bricks, those that can be used, are stacked separately. The unusable ones are temporarily piled on the roadside next to the office, waiting for me to see if they are of any use. If they are really useless, they will be transported to the back mountain."
"We will cut down a lot of wood, and of course, we will also replant it. At that time, you will go to the construction site to count the wood and charge it according to the normal price."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Village Chief Ou hurriedly responded. He already had work done, so who cares about the disobedient villagers?
It's important to make money from Jungkook.
Li Zhengguo took his two apprentices home to make bed boards. It was definitely too late to make the bed, so he made the bed boards quickly and used stacks of dismantled stones to serve as bed legs.
Grandpa Xiao had already rested. Li Min followed his sister-in-law and asked questions, but was driven away by her mother.
"Don't you see that my great-grandfather is tired? Go to someone's house quickly and buy a chicken, kill it and make soup."
"I went to the vegetable shed to pick vegetables. There are so many things going on, and you are still here gossiping."
"Why am I gossiping?"
Li Min muttered and walked out, and Ah Feng hurriedly caught up with her.
"Li Min, I'll go with you. The job of cooking is mine. The most you can do is prepare the ingredients and light a fire."
"By the way, you, you are the cook, Sister Feng."
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll take you around the village and point out to you which family has a good relationship with my family and which family has enmity with my family."
