33. Green waters and green mountains
Because the banknotes circulated too frequently, coupled with the poor quality, the mutilation and defacement were more serious, Ji Mo still took a lot of effort to point it, if it wasn't dirty, he would have counted it faster when he was spittle.
Even so, he clicked back and forth several times.
Satisfied, he stuffed his pockets into his pockets, and then he raised his head, and met Uzan and Plump Eyes.
Today is payroll day?
Seeing that he had money in his hand, the two of them came directly to block it?
patted his head, and reluctantly took the money out of his pocket again.
Still can't cover the heat!
Moreover, it can't be paid according to the previous salary, and the two of them have mentioned salary increases several times.
I really should have added it, but I was starving, and I still owed money to the old bank, so I kept shirking it.
Now it's really unbearable!
Otherwise, once the winter comes, these two people will have to freeze to death if they don't starve to death.
"Thank you, Principal Ji. Uzan took the money first, counted it, and it was actually 75 yuan, and his old face bloomed happily.
In normal times, Ji Mo either gives 40 yuan or 35 catties of grain, and he brings a grandson, because he is a teacher here, his grandson has preferential treatment when he goes to school, he doesn't have to pay tuition, and he can live here.
But the expenses are still tight, and the grandson is growing up, and he eats rice every day and is hungry, but there is no nutrition!
forced him, an old master in his sixties, to follow the boys to learn to fish and trap when he was free.
In this way, at least there is meat in the bowl.
It's just that it's getting colder and colder, and you can't have a jacket?
He has a handful of old bones, half of which is buried in the soil, it doesn't matter if he carries it, but his grandson can't carry it, his old Wu family is in this vein!
Now that he has this 75 yuan, he is a lot more relieved, at least he can buy some old clothes from Liu Xiaocheng in the town.
Although they were all taken from the dead GIs, which is a bit unlucky, but they can't afford to live these years, who cares if they are auspicious or unlucky?
Moreover, he also has a wish, that is, when he has saved enough money, he will go south again and redeem his daughter-in-law.
"Then I'll take it. ”
Fengsheng is also very old-hearted, he is not like Uzan can live in the school, after all, he has an old woman and a daughter.
The girl is sixteen, about the same age as the boy who jumps up and down in the school's big class, and her thoughts are outdated, so she resolutely does not live in the school for fear of making great jokes and messes.
The family of three lives in a shack built by the river like many homeless people, and the old woman, who has never touched a hoe in her life, grows vegetables and potatoes on her own wasteland, and can be self-sufficient, and these days are the autumn harvest, and she went to odd jobs with her daughter, which has a lot of living money.
He was paid at school, and he was barely getting by.
But seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, sleeping until midnight, the family is cold together, what if it is cold again?
Building a new house has become a top priority and cannot be delayed any longer.
Ji Mo reloaded the money, patted his chest with his hand, got up and stretched, and then said with a smile, "I have wronged the two of you recently, just tell me if you have anything to do in the future."
Don't underestimate the power of our Dadongling winter, we must pay attention to it, if there is anything busy at home, just call more boys from the school to help, don't be embarrassed. ”
"I'm relieved to have your words. "Fengsheng has long had this in mind, but it has been difficult to speak.
Ji Mo looked at Wu Zan and said, "Master Wu, are you planning to start a new house?"
Don't worry, I didn't mean to rush you, you can stay in the school for as long as you want.
However, there is no kang in the school, a broken bed, and it must be cold in winter.
Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money to build an earthen house, so if it doesn't work, just build it.
If it's not enough, I can also give you a little advance here. ”
Uzan hurriedly said, "Then a hundred advances are good enough." ”
He had already understood Ji Mo's stinginess, maybe he would regret it in a few days.
So don't miss the time.
It's only right to get the money in hand.
"I'll take a hundred, too. "Rich and pedantic, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
A fool can't memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics backwards.
“......”
Ji Mo's flesh hurts.
He's really just being polite!
In the end, though, I paid for it.
Really froze these two old men out of a good way, he really has to be blind, after all, he is used to being the shopkeeper, and he has to run in again to find someone, which is not troublesome enough.
The autumn harvest is slowly coming to an end, and the entire ancient town is shrouded in a layer of smoke, all caused by burning.
Since spring, at least 10,000 displaced people have come to the circle above the town, and they have begun to focus on filling their stomachs and looking for jobs, and even if they see such fertile land, they are not in a hurry to open up the land on a large scale.
But now that the plants and trees are withering, a fire has burned past, and after leaving the ashes of the plants and trees, it is a good time to open up the wasteland, and they will not miss it again.
Due to the increase in the labor force, the rich people will not give up the opportunity to cultivate, and they will continue to hire people and carry out large-scale pioneering.
They dug up the stumps left behind by the felling of the tree farms and prepared to plant soybeans, corn, potatoes or rice the following year.
The homeless people work very hard for the landlords, and in their hometowns, there are many people and little land, and it takes several generations to accumulate so many acres of land, and it is difficult to make a living.
When you encounter something and want to survive the crisis, you have to find a loan from the landlord, and the interest will be rolled, and if you can't pay it back, the land will be gone.
Then he could only rent land from the landlord to plant and work as a tenant farmer, and in a disaster year, he could not pay the rent enough, and continued to borrow.
A vicious circle is formed, and it will never be turned over.
Selling children and daughters, the family is ruined.
But it's good here, there are few people and a lot of land, and the vast land can be cultivated casually.
And to work for the landlords, the landlords not only manage three meals, control, but also pay wages!
The most incredible thing is that the salary is still a lot!
There is hope for this day!
Compared with the landlords in the south, the landlords of Dadongling are simply angel cute!
Some homeless people have proposed to wait for better conditions, so they will set up a shrine for He Yaozong and Old Lady Zhu and others in He Mansion, after all, there are countless living people who open a porridge shed.
It almost made the people in the ancient town laugh.
Ji Mo sneezed several times on the way back, and he wondered if he, as the mayor of the town, should he prohibit indiscriminate logging, advocate caring for forests, protecting the environment, and preventing soil erosion?
Green mountains and clear water are gold and silver mountains!
As a result, he immediately shook his head again.
He was afraid of being beaten to death.
And it is very likely that the death is unknown.
"Lord Mayor, Lord Mayor....."
Ji Mo didn't need to look back to know who the person who called him was, except for the outsiders, none of the locals were willing to call him that.
Little cub dare to put on a score?
If you don't beat him, you'll be worthy of him!
Looking back, the person who came was in his fifties, not tall, with sparse white hair, sallow and fleshless face, and he bowed his body from afar and shot at Ji Mo.
"Hey......"
Ji Mo knew what this person was here for!
In such a short period of time since he took office, many displaced people have come to him to ask for house deeds and land deeds, and they do not have a certificate in their hands, so they are not at ease in any way.
ps: Thank you "Lu Yao Hallelujah" for the reward, thank you for your recommendation votes, or continue to ask for a mouthful of hot air.....
