Chapter 30 Friends, send money to the whole village
Ever since the old man Jiang fell ill, Jiang Baiye asked the Village Officer Wang in front of the whole village to reduce the punishment for his family to reclaim 20 acres of wasteland. Everyone did not expect this action to be true. Jiang Baiye tried hard to hide his sad smiledown.
"After all, he is also my real grandfather."
The people present fell silent, and they all felt extremely heartwarming. Compared with the time when the old man Jiang went all out to treat Jiang Yueming well, but he used to scold Jiang Baiye in various ways, and seeing him do this, who would dare to say that heUnfilial?
Were their brains kicked by donkeys at that moment? Why did they help Jiang Yueming speak, thinking that Jiang Baiye was heartless?
Someone reacted and got angry, "Damn it, my kindness was taken advantage of by Jiang Yueming!"
"Next time I will speak for others indiscriminately, I will be that pig and that dog!"
Looking back, those who misunderstood Jiang Baiye's family came to apologize to them one after another, "If you are unfilial, there will be no unfilial people in the world!"
Jiang Dazhu giggled silly.
"Speaking of which, the family is such a big mess, and Jiang Yueming left as soon as he said it, which is really chilling, especially the old man Jiang, who treats him well!"
This word soon spread to the old man Jiang's ears. He felt depressed and his illness couldn't get any better.
On this side, Village Officer Wang pretended to be angry, "My order cannot be taken back easily, and someone must open the 20 acres of wasteland!"
Jiang Baiye was very kind, "I'll drive it, as long as it allows my grandfather to recuperate properly during this time."
Everyone felt that he was deeply affectionate, and when Village Officer Wang agreed to Jiang Baiye's request, Jiang Baiye immediately spent a sum of money and hired some villagers to help reclaim the wasteland.
After all, if old man Jiang and the others are allowed to drive, they don't know that they can only drive well in the Year of the Monkey, and they don't care about driving, which will only affect his own benefits.
Another fortune was made, and the villagers of Clear Water Village were happy to remember the well-being of Jiang Baiye's family all day long.
In a blink of an eye, the wasteland was opened up, and the herbal seedlings that Jiang Baiye had dug from the mountains were planted, and the workshop was completely completed after one and a half months.
Jiang Baiye brought back a batch of processing tools specially ordered earlier from Fucheng, and after installing them, the whole workshop can be officially put into use!
People who passed by, whether they were inside or outside the village, were all amazed, because this workshop was not so big, it was a few bigger than the usual dyeing workshops, sugar workshops, and even government forging workshops and copper workshops.times.
Moreover, the courtyard with black bricks and black tiles and the rows of houses are more magnificent and beautiful than those shops in Fucheng. When Lu Lizhi was brought to visit by Jiang Baiye, he looked at the community buildings under the green hills and was sincerely happy for him.
In just a short period of time, he made such an achievement so quickly, he really didn't have the time to come to him every day.
Looking at the brand-new workshop under the clear blue sky, Lu Lizhi's heart widened a little. Thinking of Jiang Baiye's bold words before, he suddenly felt that he should not stick to small things.
But he still indifferently broke away Jiang Baiye's hand that was holding him.
When this person saw him now, he would pull him subconsciously, and somehow he developed a bad habit. If his expression was not normal enough, Lu Lizhi would have suspected that he had ulterior motives.
After thinking about it, what kind of intentions could the two big men have, Lu Lizhi felt strange about his own thoughts.
Jiang Baiye only felt that his hand was empty, squeezed it, and then smiled happily, "When I have saved enough money, I can take you to Beijing to treat your dumb disease."
He said this sentence very quietly, it could even be called a murmur, but Lu Lizhi didn't hear it, so he tilted his head slightly.
Looking back, Jiang Baiye saw his puzzled and inquiring expression, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his white jade cheeks that seemed to reflect light, "Lu Lizhi, you are so cute!"
Lu Lizhi reacted slowly, annoyed, and rushed forward to pinch him too. Jiang Baiye was startled, but he didn't hide, and leaned forward to bring his right cheek closer, "Come on, pinch here!"
Now that the man who is becoming more and more handsome and tall is approaching, his bright black eyes are looking at him deeply and persistently, with a faint smile, Lu Lizhi stretched out his hand in the air, hesitated a little, just put it on, touchedWhen he saw his hot and hard skin, his fingertips instantly felt numb.
Before he could realize the strong emotion, a light cough suddenly sounded behind him.
Before Lu Lizhi could react, Jiang Baiye suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps. Seeing that it was Granny Li, his scrutinizing gaze passed them both, as if he had discovered something serious.
"Hey, let's talk, I still have something to do." I couldn't wait and ran away.
Lu Lizhi frowned lightly, not knowing why.
"Li Zhi, you smile a lot more now." Granny Li suppressed the suspicion in her heart and said with a smile, "If your grandpa sees it from the bottom, he will be very happy!"
Thinking of what happened just now, Lu Lizhi couldn't help laughing again.
"What do you think of this kid from the Jiang family?" Granny Li asked tentatively. She was probably the only person in the world who knew about Li Zhi's special physique, because he was born by herself in the first place.
Granny Li has never been married in her life, and the older people in Clear Water Village know that she has a soft spot for Lu Lizhi's grandfather.
I was really moved because was rescued by Grandpa Lu back then, but unfortunately Grandpa Lu liked other girls, Granny Li proudly did not disturb them, but she never got married, until Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu passed away one after another, and Lu Lizhi's parents also came out.After an accident, she couldn't help but walk up to Lu Lizhi, wanting to take care of that man's offspring.
Knowing about Granny Li's past, Lu Lizhi naturally couldn't accept her kindness with peace of mind, but the two of them were still somewhat dependent on each other.
So when Granny Li asked him this, Lu Lizhi thought for a while and nodded heavily, which was his approval.
Jiang Baiye kept saying that he wanted to be friends with him, Lu Lizhi felt that the two should be considered friends by now, if Jiang Baiye didn't suddenly regret it.
"Then you, have you ever thought about giving up the scientific examination?" Granny Li asked with great difficulty.
She was afraid that Li Zhi would run into danger if he went up without hesitation, like his father did back then, especially with such a body that would be criticized by others, the hardships were unimaginable.
And Lu Lizhi's answer was no different from the past, he shook his head resolutely, he wanted to fulfill his father's last wish, he also had to follow this road to find the reason behind his inexplicable death!
No matter how difficult it is, he will never give up.
Granny Li opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, but she made up her mind.
However, before she turned around to carry it out, Lu Lizhi seemed to have seen through her thoughts, grabbed her arm and shook his head vigorously, even pleading in his eyes.
He knew that Granny Li must want Jiang Baiye to dissuade him, or to protect himself, but no, he will never use his friends to achieve his goals, and he will not let Jiang Baiye be in danger!
"You child..." Granny Li sighed, and could only leave reluctantly in the end, but she felt that Li Zhi might have thought too simply, and some people might not retreat as he thought.out.
Jiang Baiye ran for a certain distance before stopping. Thinking back to the look in Granny Li's eyes just now, there was still some noise in her chest, as if a deep hidden secret had been exposed.
Obviously, during this period of time, I have a pure heart and few desires. I am too busy to think about it every day. Before going to bed and when I wake up, I will recite the boring "Herbal Classic" to suppress the excess thoughts in my heart. I even triedPut some distance away from Lu Lizhi...
It didn't even work!
On the contrary, after not seeing him for a while, he rebounded even more. For a moment just now, he even crazily longed to get close to Lu Lizhi, and he was rubbed against him in every way.
Jiang Baiye sighed, it seems that he can only treat in the opposite direction, maybe after he gets more familiar with Lu Lizhi, he finds out that he is actually a stingy guy, his status in the altar suddenly drops, and he loses all fancy ideas.
Just like in the previous life, he and his roommate threw stinky socks at each other... No, why did he look forward to it.
"Long year old!" He waved his hand vigorously in front of him, "Can you do the calculation again, this is the wages paid to the villagers, and it is time to pay them tomorrow."
Jiang Baiye picked it up, and with Lu Lizhi's reputation of being able to read and write, he could justify everything, and no one doubted that he would read the account books.
On the second day, more than half of the people in Clear Water Village gathered at the entrance of the village. There was too much movement for a while, and some idlers from Li Family Village next door were even attracted to watch the fun.
"What are they doing?"
"Could it be that something happened?" He speculated maliciously.
"They seem to be in a good mood, so it shouldn't be a bad thing." In contrast, the people in Lijia Village were very upset.
During this period of time, there was a lot of trouble in their village. The Village Officer was not like a Village Officer, and the patriarch was not like a patriarch. Many old men were still vying to be the new patriarch. Everyone in the clan was poor., still think what is the advantage of being a patriarch!
"Here we come!" Accompanied by shouts of joy, Jiang Baiye arrived on time, but he didn't expect that everyone would choose this place, um, it suits him very well.
Without further ado, he directly took out a big bag of money, it was really a big bag, full of more than ten catties of copper plates and a small bag of silver, and said proudly: "Pay money!"
Everyone immediately started discussing excitedly, because Jiang Baiye said that he had no money to pay wages at the time, so they all settled together at the end.
But before that, some people who didn't believe in Jiang Baiye and those who were afraid of working for nothing chose to quit, and Jiang Baiye also eliminated some people who were not so good-natured.
At this moment, these people watched helplessly as he paid everyone their wages according to the ledger.
He Shi and Jiang Dazhu were on the side, one helping to count the money and the other helping to give the money. Some of them only worked for a day or two, and only had dozens to hundreds of copper coins.
Some people have been working for more than a month, and they still do heavy physical work like building a house. Because in summer, Jiang Baiye also gave a "high temperature subsidy" of five yuan a day.One two two.
Compared with them doing short-term labor and hard work outside day after day, where have they seen so much money?
Even if the food tax is not heavy, but the harvest is also very limited, it is considered a good situation to maintain enough food and clothing every year.
Now that everyone got a lot of money, their eyes were all moist with excitement.
Even a lot of women and Taoist families have earned a good salary because they participated in the planting of medicinal herbs. With confidence in their hearts, the men in the family have to talk to them in a good voice.
The whole Clear Water Village is happy and harmonious.
People from Li Family Village not far away turned into puffer fish with anger, angry that they are not from Clear Water Village, and angry that Jiang Baiye is not from their Li Family Village, the money could have belonged to them!
However, at this moment, an accident happenedโโ
Jiang Baiye had just paid out half of the money, when an embarrassing figure with disheveled hair rushed out from the corner, crashed into the crowd, snatched the money bags from Jiang Dazhu and He Shi, and ran away.
Everyone, "!"
