Jin Feng was also heartbroken, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Don't let them come again in the future."
The village chief heard this and lowered his head in agreement. He was just thinking about whether to help the siblings when he heard Jin Feng speak again.
"They are both too young. There are bricks and other things everywhere here, so it is not safe."
Jin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let them go to the workshop to help sort out the twine. It's half a copper per day. Other children under the age of thirteen should not come either.
If no one in the family earns money, let them all work in the workshop.
The girl went to Run Niang and picked a few to help cook, and the rest went with the boys to help sort the twine."
In fact, there was no need for so many children arranging twine in the workshop, but Jin Feng really couldn't bear to see the children go hungry.
If there's nothing he can do, forget it, forget it if he can't see it, but he clearly knows it and has the ability to take care of it, so Jin Feng can't just sit back and watch.
Anyway, it’s just a bowl of rice, just think of it as thanking God for allowing you to live again.
"Xiao Feng, thank you. This is a great merit."
The village chief bowed to Jin Feng solemnly, and then happily ran over to gather the children.
There were many families like Xu Laosan in the village. When the children heard that they had work to do and had enough to eat, they all cheered excitedly.
A few sensible children came over and kowtowed to Jin Feng.
Jin Feng sighed and pulled them up, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
He thought that he had suffered enough in his previous life, but compared with these children, his suffering was nothing at all.
At least he has had enough food and clothing since he was a child. As long as he studies hard, he can change his destiny.
And it’s not that these children don’t work hard, it’s that they need to do their best to stay alive.
Maybe their biggest wish is to have a full meal.
After arranging the children, the village chief returned to the construction site.
I originally thought that Jin Feng had left. After all, Jin Feng had only taken one look at the construction site these days and left.
When I came back, I found that Jin Feng was still there, so he ran over and asked, "Xiao Feng, do you have anything else to do?"
"The progress now is still a bit slow."
Jin Feng said: "Village chief, why don't you go to Guanjiawan and ask if anyone is willing to come and help?"
"Are you so anxious?"
The village chief was a little unhappy.
In his opinion, having work to do and being paid for it is a great blessing.
Of course, good things should be reserved for the people in the village, and how can they be given to outsiders?
The village chief was already a little unhappy about Jin Feng's recruitment of veterans.
Knowing that these veterans are all from the Tielin Army, it's hard to say anything.
But Guanjiawan and Tianjiawan have bullied Xihewan in the past. If you don't go to them to cause trouble, you are already doing well. How can you leave the benefits to them?
Wouldn’t it be nice to leave it to the people in your own village?
"Quite anxious."
Jin Feng smiled, guessing what the village chief was thinking, and said with a smile: "Village Chief, you have forgotten, I have a new business. After the new workshop is built, everyone can go to work in the new workshop. It is much easier than building a house."
and more stable.”
"That's right, I forgot about this."
The village chief finally felt reassured.
In fact, the village chief still has a small farmer mentality, limited to Xihewan Village, but Jin Feng's vision has long gone beyond Jinchuan County, and even beyond the country of Dakang.
Regardless of Xihe Bay, Guanjia Bay, or Tianjia Bay, they are just the initial stage of the plan.
The more people there are, the faster his plan will unfold.
"Xiao Feng, Xiaorou didn't tell you, your uncle came here several times while you were away," the village chief asked.
"No," Jin Feng shook his head: "What is he here for?"
Jin Feng would understand if his mother-in-law came over.
But my eldest uncle Guan Tiezhu bullied Guan Xiaorou a lot in the past, and Guan Xiaorou didn't like this eldest brother very much.
For her mother's sake, Guan Xiaorou helped her mother-in-law's family a lot, which was enough for the family to live on. Jin Feng didn't say anything about it.
Logically speaking, Guan Tiezhu should be too embarrassed to come to his home.
Could it be that the support given by Guan Xiaorou was ruined by him?
"What else can you do?"
The village chief said: "Seeing that our village's life is getting better, I'm thinking of letting you set up a workshop in Guanjiawan.
So you don’t need me to go, just go over and shout as much as you want, and there will be plenty of people willing to work with you."
After speaking, the village chief couldn't help but show some pride on his face.
Guanjiawan is a clan village, and the residents are basically people of the Guan surname. Compared with a village like Xihewan, which is composed of wanderers, it is much more united.
In the past, the villagers of Guanjiawan looked down upon people from Xihewan.
But in the past two months, many Xihewan villagers have made money thanks to workshops and brick kilns. During town gatherings, you can often see Xihewan villagers ripping cloth to make clothes. Some people buy rice and flour, saying they want to go back.
Steamed buns.
Other villages can't even get enough to eat, but Xihewan actually started eating white flour steamed buns?
This made the people in Guanjiawan jealous, and they all encouraged Guan Xiaorou's brother to go to Guan Xiaorou and ask if people from Guanjiawan could also come to work in the workshop.
However, the workshop was already full at that time, and Jin Feng was not around, so Guan Xiaorou had no choice but to refuse.
Jin Feng has been busy since he came back, and Guan Xiaorou didn't tell him about it.
"I see."
Jin Feng suddenly realized: "Okay, village chief, please keep an eye on this while I go to Guanjiawan."
Back in the small courtyard, Jin Feng shouted to the blacksmith shop: "The warehouse is full, go to the stable and bring me a horse."
It was summer now. Jin Feng came back from his walk and was sweating.
Guan Xiaorou was helping to settle the children. When she heard Jin Feng's voice, she quickly ran over and took out a handkerchief from her arms to wipe Jin Feng's sweat.
"Master, why did you let Mancang lead the horse?"
Guan Xiaorou asked curiously.
"There are not enough people in the village. Let's go to Guanjiawan and find some people to help."
Jin Feng said.
"Really?"
Guan Xiaorou looked surprised.
Everyone has selfish motives, and Guan Xiaorou is no exception.
Seeing that life in Xihewan is getting better and better, the clan members in Guanjiawan are still as poor as before and can't afford to eat, so Guan Xiaorou also wants to help.
But he didn't dare to tell Jin Feng.
After all, she is married to Jin Feng and is considered a member of the Jin family. She must put the interests of her husband's family first.
Now that Jin Feng took the initiative, she was of course happy.
"Of course it's true. Go and tidy up. We'll leave when Mancang brings the horses over."
Jin Feng said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mancang leading the horse into the yard.
"I have nothing to deal with..."
Guan Xiaorou glanced at the war horse, blushed and said, "Master, I can't ride a horse, let's walk there?"
"Walking there takes too much time."
Jin Feng said: "I don't need you to ride, I will just take you."
Guanjiawan is not far away, but Jin Feng has been too busy recently and has no time to walk slowly there.
"That's okay."
Guan Xiaorou lowered her head and followed Jin Feng to the horse.
There was only one horse, and if they were together, she could only sit in Jin Feng's arms.
Thinking of Jin Feng holding her in his arms and galloping away, Guan Xiaorou was not only shy but also felt a sense of expectation...
