Chapter 282: Hiring People
"Here you go!"
Hand the corn cob to the little monkey, and the guy happily ate it.
It's just greedy, and I almost lost my life.
Dare to steal corn in his own field, you must know that the crops in the dozen acres of land you grow are all taken care of by Xiaobai as private property, if anyone dares to touch these crops, Xiaobai will not be polite.
If he hadn't arrived in time, the little monkey would have died.
"Squeak ......."
The little monkey ate two corn cobs, still a little dissatisfied, and seemed to like this corn cob very much, and looked at it with watery eyes.
But it looks like this state is much better, and it doesn't have the weakness and sickness like just now.
It seems that the effect of this corn is still very good.
Lin Pengfei is not a stingy person, he took three corn cobs from the big pile of corn cobs, put them on the chair, and said to the little monkey: "You can't eat more, at most three more corn cobs." ”
"Squeak!"
The little monkey happily grabbed the corn cob and peeled the skin as he had just done, and said that this monkey was the best at simulating human behavior and movements, which seemed to be true at all.
Lin Pengfei didn't know why he fell in love with this monkey.
If you leave this little monkey and train it well, it will be a very good helper, and at least you can leave it to do the work of serving tea, water, and washing clothes.
It was obvious that the little monkey was less than a year old, and he was thinking of letting it do the work for himself.
However, Lin Pengfei was not ready to force the monkey to stay in his own home, let it recuperate in his own home first, and when the injury was healed, whether it would leave or stay, let it be.
Lin Pengfei remembered something, and asked the "Merit and Good People System" in his mind: "System, why don't I have merit points for saving this little monkey?"
This saving people has this merit value, why doesn't this saving animals have merit value?
You must know that there is a birthday event in Buddhism, and this release has merit, so why don't you have merit for saving this monkey!
Didn't the Buddha talk about "all beings are equal"?
There should be a reward for saving the monkey yourself, right?
It's just that what makes Lin Pengfei depressed is that this "meritorious and good person system" has not responded at all.
"Pengfei, you have changed a lot here, when did the dirt road outside get it, it was much stronger than the dirt road in the village. ”
Lin Zhaoquan walked into Lin Pengfei's yard with three old farmers who were about the same age as him, and shouted at Lin Pengfei as soon as he came in.
This is not a lie, I originally thought that it was a little difficult to walk to Lin Pengfei here, and there were half-human-high weeds and shrubs everywhere.
But now I found out when Lin Pengfei opened the road from his thatched house yard to the village.
This is a big project, without modern machines, that is, excavators, relying on manpower alone, dozens of people can't get it out in half a month.
As for the excavator, if you want to go into the mountains, it is impossible, there is no way for the excavator to drive in.
Such a long and wide road must have been made by manpower.
But I haven't heard anyone talk about it recently, who is helping Lin Pengfei in the village to work and build roads?
Could it be someone from outside the village?
That's also impossible, dozens of people came into the village, how could they not know as the village chief and village official.
"It's also recently made, why did you come so early, village chief, have you eaten? ”
Lin Pengfei naturally didn't want to talk about this topic, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said.
"Eat, it's almost seven o'clock, and I've got five people for you, and everyone has brought their own baskets and poles. ”
Lin Zhaoquan said.
"I'm so grateful to my uncles. ”
Lin Pengfei said to several old men behind Lin Zhao's body.
Last night, when Lin Pengfei came back, he passed by the village chief's house, and asked the village chief to help find the fifth or sixth person for him, that is, to pick the corn cob to sell in the county seat, although it was just one trip, Lin Pengfei settled it for them according to 100 yuan.
You must know that even if you go to the town to work as a temporary worker, it is 100 yuan a day, and if you pick a load of corn cobs to go to the county seat, you will also give 100 yuan, and these sixty or seventy-year-old people in the village are very willing to do it.
At present, there are not a few young people in the whole Jialan Village, and the main labor force is these old people in their sixties and seventies.
Don't look at these old people who are sixty or seventy years old, they are much more powerful than those square dancers in the city, picking up heavy objects of one or two hundred pounds, walking like flying, and their bodies are very tough.
In a poor place like Beishan County, there are many people who rely on their strength to earn a living, and this odd job is not easy to find, especially for elderly people like them.
Lin Pengfei gave 100 yuan to pick two baskets of corn cobs to go to the county seat, this kind of work is a good job, a good job that can't be found with a lantern.
As the head of the village, Lin Zhaoquan naturally considered which families had more difficult lives, and the old people who came over today were from more difficult families.
They are all sixty or seventy years old, and they not only have to earn money to support themselves, but also to help their sons and grandchildren.
It's not that their sons and grandsons are unproductive, but the reality is cruel.
In reality, it doesn't matter, even if you are a college student, it is already very good to work in a big city for 10,000 yuan a month.
The salary of 10,000 yuan a month is definitely a high salary in Beishan County, and it is absolutely enviable.
But in the big city, the house price is high, and I have to pay a big foreign debt to buy a house in the big city, which not only depletes all the savings of three generations of the family, but also owes the bank a lot of money.
This money has to be repaid every month, and the money borrowed by relatives and friends also has to be repaid.
This old man is old, not only does he not want to be a burden to his children, but he also wants to earn money to help his children, and most of the old people in this rural area are like this.
"Pengfei, what do you say, you give us money to work, earn a hundred yuan a trip, where can you find such a good job!"
"That's it, Pengfei is out of business now!"
"Pengfei, don't look at your uncle, I'm seventy-one years old, this strength is no worse than that of a young man, I can easily pick up something weighing two hundred pounds, those young people may not be able to pick it. ”
"Uncle Zhaoyang, I believe what you say!"
Lin Pengfei said to several old people with a smile.
The old people in the countryside have experienced the most difficult days, and they all rely on manual labor to support themselves and support their families.
Even an old lady in the countryside has more power than many young men in the city.
"That'...... That's a little monkey?"
Lin Zhaoquan noticed the little monkey sitting on the chair, gnawing on the corn cob with relish, and said with some surprise.
Although I knew that there were monkeys in this mountain, and even a group of monkeys, there were not many people who had seen them, and Lin Zhaoquan had only seen them two or three times in his life, but he didn't expect that there was one in Lin Pengfei's yard.
