Chapter 36: The Way of Peace

Hu Shijie sighed: "It's too good to eat these days, can't you save a little?"

Hu Shijie was a little reluctant to pay, not thinking about abusing the workers, but in his opinion, in addition to one meal in the morning, two meat dishes at noon and evening were a bit too much, not to mention the conditions in the village, even on the construction site in the big city, I am afraid that there are few families who support workers like this, and the cost of food alone is almost catching up with the wages of these workers in the past month, and the cost is too high.

Canghai didn't care, and said to Grandpa Hu: "We expect people to work steadfastly, so we can't be stingy, otherwise this water tower is built without care, and it won't be us who will suffer in the end?"

Hu Shijie was speechless when he heard it.

Li Licheng Zhang said: "The progress of their gang to repair the water tower is not very good, they have only repaired a few legs for so many days, in my opinion, it is difficult to complete it on time!"

Canghai will go to see the progress of the water tower every day, and understand that now is the time to work hardest, it is all cast-in-place foundation and load-bearing columns, if this thing is done, then it is easy to fill the wall with bricks.

"Don't worry, I took a look at their craftsmanship, they are all good, and it will be fast when the frame is set up," Canghai said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, because Canghai was professional in this matter, and Canghai also made a big head, so everyone kept their mouths shut.

"Why don't you buy a pump?" Li Liren suddenly said.

Hu Shijie looked at Li Liren and asked, "Buy a pump?" This thing doesn't cost a lot of money to buy, but it costs a lot of electricity to make it, and the electricity we have here can be more than two yuan per kilowatt-hour!"

Hearing that Hu Shijie had calculated such an account, Li Liren was silent.

Electricity in the countryside is expensive, more than two yuan per kilowatt-hour. In fact, there is no way to do it, the power supply bureau has passed the electricity all the way here, not to mention the other just the power poles down the way, plus the money of the wires, I don't know how much capital it spent, with the speed of electricity in the village, it is estimated that these costs may not be collected in a hundred years.

Villages are electrified, this is still a benefit given by the government, and it costs a lot of money to do a convenient project, really talking about economic accounts, such as Siping Village, a village like Siping, even a single electric hair may not be seen, let alone find a special wire.

Canghai is well aware of this, not only the folks in Canghai also know that they have enjoyed the benefits of the policy. Although they complained about the high cost of electricity, no one said in good conscience that the government was not doing a good job in this matter.

"Why do you use electricity, can't you use a diesel engine? Buy a smaller one, it won't cost you a few dollars a day," Canghai said.

Canghai has been mixed with the construction site, and I have seen a lot of these various drainage machines on the construction site, and the diesel engine is used to drain the water in the foundation in inconvenient occasions.

opened his mouth to report a model, and saw that everyone was confused, so Canghai took the broken book in Li Lida's hand, took the pen and wrote a series of numbers on it, and marked the approximate price on the back.

When everyone heard Canghai say this, their eyes focused on Hu Shijie's body again, Hu Shijie thought for a while, and became ruthless: "This account is counted in the account of the public middle school, let's buy one!"

The pumping machine is very necessary for the villagers, not to mention the manpower can of the can to lift the effort, just say that the efficiency is not good, in the past, everyone had time to carry people to pull, now each family is a number of acres of land, and then rely on such efficiency that can be tiring people.

The villagers picked, but they also knew that the money could not be saved and it was not easy to save.

After thinking for a while, Canghai said: "Forget it, leave this matter to me tomorrow, and I'll buy a pump!"

Canghai thought that no matter how he said it, he had to buy a good one that would last for a long time, and if he asked Li Lida to buy a miscellaneous goods of several hundred and one thousand, when he was in a hurry to use it, he suddenly stopped the fire, and then there would be fun. It just so happens that Canghai still has to go to the township, and I don't know if Wen Yiyi, a stupid American, has tossed out anything after these days.

"It's okay! You Li Sanye don't know much about this thing, and you young people have to do it" Hu Shijie didn't have any opinion when he heard it.

After a pause, Hu Shijie opened his mouth and asked again: "His third master, how much does the village public middle school owe Haiwazi now?"

Li Lida calculated for a moment and said, "It's 40,000 small."

When they heard this number, everyone was stunned.

"So many?" Li Liren opened his mouth to ask everyone's thoughts.

"It's all money, and that's it, I've also taken away the food of the workers who dig the kiln in Haiwazi," Li Lida opened the small notebook and began to explain page by page.

As soon as he got up, Qian Ximei's voice came from the door: "Boss, uncles and uncles have eaten."

Li Lida glanced at everyone and shouted at the door: "Go and bring the food to the big guys, I'm discussing things here."

"Okay!"

Qian Ximei's footsteps quickly disappeared from heavy to light to the door.

Li Lida continued to report the accounts here, page by page was quite detailed, and the details were a little surprised to Canghai, but I didn't expect everyone to sort out the accounts clearly.

"Haiwazi, there is no problem with this account, right?" Hu Shijie listened to Li Lida finish reporting the account, and asked at Canghai.

"Grandpa Hu, I said that you don't need to calculate the food expenses, I came up with the idea, or you can cut it in half," Canghai said.

Hu Shijie waved his hand: "One yard to one yard, we old guys still want to take advantage of your juniors?

Canghai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'm not short of money, everyone also watched me grow up, I went early, although everyone is poor, I haven't been taken care of by everyone, now I have a little money, what's wrong with repaying everyone?"

For the villagers, Canghai is grateful, the young man lost his father and lived alone, in addition to the third uncle's family, other people's families really stretched out their hands, although everyone had little money, but even if it was the grace of a meal at that time, Canghai had to remember and remember, this person can't live without a heartless heart, you have to know how to be grateful!

"Hello, that's your father's spirit in the sky, you kid is angry!" Hu Shijie said.

Although the countryside is poor, but for the villagers to live is a face, the old people know that the simple public life is incorruptible, one yard is one yard, and the affairs of each family are sorted out, so that the neighbors can be harmonious, once the interests are not clear, there will definitely be people who have resentment in the end, and the days in this village will be noisy.

At this time, Qian Ximei and Liu Aifen came in with a small bamboo basket, with a few porcelain bowls and a few steamed buns with white noodles on the side of the basket, this is today's dinner.

Today's dinner two big meat dishes are big meat balls, there are two meat balls the size of a little doll's fist, in addition to each big duck leg, the vegetarian dish is fried dried with lettuce, and the cucumber scrambled eggs, and the small pot in the basket is laver egg drop soup.

Seeing that the meal was coming, everyone reached out and brought the vegetable pot to their house, and put it on the ground, grabbing the bun in one hand and holding the chopsticks in the other hand while continuing to have a meeting.

After talking about the water pump, the next step is to hire people to cultivate in detail, and each family reported how many fields each family still had, and then counted a number.

This is not a big pot of rice, some people need less manpower will naturally be less, and if they need more manpower, then more will be out, of course, the most out is Canghai, and the seven or eight acres of barren slope land left by Canghai Laozi have not moved.

Hearing the land reported by Canghai, everyone looked at Canghai one after another.

Li Licheng said: "Your baby is not diligent, don't you have a walk-behind tractor at home, or with a gripper, no matter how your baby has to turn these fields out, this time does not greet the ground, which door tree to plant!"

In the eyes of the villagers, Canghai is completely picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons before the horse, even if the tree can't be planted this year, and it will be planted again next year, it will not be bad for this year or two, but this crop is different, if it is a year late, it will be less than a year's rations, and there will be no water now, and the villagers in the village will have to go out to buy grain, which is too loser.

But Canghai is still ready to be this loser, he has lived in the magic capital for ten years, Canghai's belly is not used to three meals of pasta a day, the villagers don't eat noodles for a meal, as if they are not full, Canghai is now thinking of big white rice.

Planting rice can be planted, but Canghai doesn't have the time to do this now, if you want to plant rice, you have to wait a year or two, and then say, this year's task of Canghai is to fence off the land from his phoenix ditch to the clamp mound, even if it is overgrown with grass, it can also herd sheep, how much money can be saved by planting a few acres of rice?

This economic account is clear in the heart of the sea.

The meeting lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, and the heads of each family had no problem with the accounts of the village public middle school, and Hu Shijie, the village director, announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Leaving Hu Shijie's kiln, Canghai walked to his new kiln to see the progress of the new kiln.

Now the appearance of the three new kilns is roughly out, the appearance refers to the location of the kiln mouth, not that the kiln has been dug out, now the digging is almost just a kiln hole, that is, this one is still potholes, not only is there no decoration, the depth is more than one meter, this will be the end of the kiln work tomorrow.

The situation of the kiln is very good, and the large platform of two or three hundred square meters in front of the kiln mouth is almost complete, and Canghai measured it with steps and calculated the location of his own bathroom.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the bathroom was built so prominently that it seemed a little bad, so I thought about whether to make a small hole next to it, not much deep, three or four meters, and then put the toilet and install the shower It seems to be more appropriate than building a bathroom at the door.

As soon as I told the master about my thoughts, people immediately responded there, anyway, I made money by making money, how could there be a reason not to make money. And promised Canghai that after the kiln mouth was cleared tomorrow, he would dig out the small kiln in the bathroom first.
