Gu Mu was a little worried: "I didn't meet their requirements this time, will they make a bad deal about my tomb repair?"

"How dare they?"

The team leader said contemptuously:

"That hillside is the land in our group, and it has nothing to do with them, can they take care of it? You are not from the public family, and you are building a tomb for your own home, what qualifications do they have to manage? None of the people in our group are dead, and they dare to take care of it?"

Hearing the team leader say this, Gu Mu was also a little relieved.

Although he also knew that the team leader would get a sum of money in his tomb repair, there was no way to avoid this.

No matter who you look for, there is no way to avoid eating kickbacks.

If you want every penny to be implemented, then unless you fix it yourself.

Compared with those lions in the village who opened their mouths, the cost of hundreds of thousands of tombs is really nothing, and this is not a good deed, it is to repair the tomb of his mother.

After eating, the team leader went to find the people who repaired the tomb, and the people brought by Gu Mu returned to their homes.

The team leader gave him the key to the door, and after opening the door, he was quite satisfied with the decoration inside.

Even if people hack his money, at least there is some humanity in what he does.

Although the decoration is not luxurious, it is also very clean and can live in.

Gu Mu originally wanted to take a break, but after returning home, before he sat down, someone from the group came to visit the door.

They are all people who have reaped the benefits of road construction, and now of course they are also thinking about whether they can get more benefits.

It is normal to visit the door in the countryside, Gu Mu has not returned to his hometown for so long, and the villagers care about him and come to ask him about his situation, which is nothing.

Gu Mu didn't want to see it, so he had to talk and chat with the visiting fellows in the living room, bragging, and talking about the development of his current company.

These people were all asking Gu Mu's intentions and whether there was any big move.

Some people suggested that Gu Mu build a farmhouse here, make some changes to the style of this group, and make it a suitable place for leisure.

They also gave some data, such as how much money a relative made from a farmhouse, and encouraged Gu Mu to invest in this as well.

On this, Gu Mu did not let go.

When he used to work, he didn't think about going back to his hometown to build a farmhouse or special breeding or something, so he didn't have to whisper outside.

But then I learned that the places where farmhouses can be built are basically close to big cities, and places like him that are dozens of miles away from the county seat will only lose money if they engage in farmhouses.

——Surrounded by a rural area, who will consume the farmhouse?

Those peasants are full of food and support, and go to other people's homes to experience the life of farmers?

If he wants to invest in farmhouse, it can only be said that he can improve the living environment of these people who live here.

The current environment is definitely not suitable for farmhouse, to make this place very clean and tidy, the place with weeds is best to get some landscape trees, plant some flowers and plants, it is best to make it look like a nursing home in the township, and you will be much happier if you live here.

However, if you want to make money from this, it is a dream.

He could only smile at their proposal and say that he would consider it, but he did not directly give a promise.

To really do this would be stupid.

Through chatting with these people, he also learned about the current situation in the village.

The village chief was not wrong when he said that the villagers were still relatively poor, because it was true that they could not make money from farming.

Now the villagers in this village really have no income from farming, and some of them have stopped farming.

The main source of income is the money earned by the young people in the family who go out to work.

Those who still insist on farming are children who go out to work and have little income, so they can only support themselves to reduce the burden of their children.

I can save one or two thousand yuan a year, and I can save one or two thousand yuan.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to save money, so I don't need my children to send money back from outside, which can be regarded as helping them reduce their burden.

As for some people who are already very old and really can't plant the land, they can only abandon their family's land, or rent one or two hundred yuan per acre of land to others to plant.

There are not many young people in a village.

It's not easy to go in the countryside.

If there are not so many people who go out to work, everyone stays in the countryside, relying on more than one mu of arable land per capita, it will be very difficult to support themselves, let alone improve the quality of life.

If you want to get rich by farming, unless it is large-scale industrialized farming, it is impossible to get rich by fiddling with those one or two acres of land.

Specialty breeding is also a pit.

Many people saw that they got rich by engaging in special planting on TV, and they could earn tens of thousands of yuan or something from an acre of land, and then they followed the trend, but the result was that they sold the harvested things for money, which was not enough money to buy seeds.

The value of special breeding is that it is scarce, so the price is high, and the added value is high.

If everyone swarms to get that thing, the price will immediately plummet, and the parents won't know it.

In the early years of the village, there were also some people who were frustrated by working outside, or saw something like getting rich, and returned to their hometown to get rich by relying on special breeding or special breeding, but the result was very bad, and finally went out to work.

Or grow food.

The only thing that can really have a stable income is to grow food, because this market is very large, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it, although the price will fluctuate, but the fluctuation is very small.

However, there is very little money that can be made from growing grain per acre, unless it is planted on a large scale.

Huaxia does not have the largest area of arable land in the world like the United States, and the number of farmers is very small, so it can be cultivated on a modern scale.

There are hundreds of millions of peasants in China, and the total cultivated land area is far inferior to that of the United States, and the land that each peasant can get is too little.

For most farmers, the only way out is to go out to work.

However, there are a group of old peasants who have not studied and cannot find a job when they go out to work, at most they can only find cleaners and dishwashers, but the cities of China do not need so many jobs.

They can only stay in the countryside, they can only farm, and they use ancient and traditional methods to farm, and many of them can only mix one full, not even warm.

A family of a few acres of land, fiddling with it for a year, deducting costs, can not earn a few thousand yuan, basically can only make a living.

Of course, it is much better than more than 10 years ago when you still had to pay agricultural taxes, and now not only do you not have to pay agricultural taxes, but there will also be subsidies for growing food.

Moreover, the infrastructure construction in the rural areas has also been done quite well.

Although it seems to the people in the city that these rural people are still living a very hard life, in their own eyes, they are already very happy.

– especially when compared to before.

At least you don't have to be tired for a year, and the little money you earn can't pay agricultural taxes after deducting living expenses.

Now there is a little subsidy for farming, and people over 60 years old can still get a little pension, although it is only a few dozen yuan a month, but there are thousands of yuan a year, even if they don't work, they will not starve to death, which is much better than before.

Especially those whose children have found good jobs outside, will they send some money to them to make their lives more nourishing.

Of course, their so-called nourishing days, that is, very ordinary life, may not be able to eat meat every day, and material civilization and spiritual civilization are lacking.

But at least I don't have to be so busy, and I have a lot more leisure time, which is a big improvement.

Of course, they still have a great thirst for money.

Although I don't have to worry about my own life, I still worry about the affairs of my children.

They don't need much, but their children who live outside can use a lot of money.

There are those who need to start a family, those who need to buy a house, and those who have children.

In this day and age, most of those who are out there are in a state of anxiety.

People at the bottom of society are anxious, and the middle class is also anxious, especially there are many media that sell anxiety, encourage consumption, and compare, so that the whole society is in a huge anxiety.

This has also affected the elderly people left behind in the countryside to a greater or lesser extent, who feel the great pressure on their children and want to be able to relieve them of the pressure, and they also need more money.

From chatting with these villagers, Gu Mu also had a general understanding of their lives, and some understanding why they were so attentive to him.

In today's society, there is indeed a lot of pressure.

Not many people are able to live comfortably.

Some institutions have calculated that if you want to achieve real financial freedom in China's first-tier cities, you need more than 200 million assets.

There are very few people in China who can do that.

In other words, most people are not free and are struggling in the sea of misery.

Gu Mu was also a person struggling in the sea of suffering a few months ago, in fact, at that time, his monthly income was already a relatively high income in this country, but he still couldn't see any hope for the future.

Maybe they can give up their desires and compare themselves with others, and many people can live a very leisurely and even poetic life.

But this is very difficult to do, and most people live very hard in this anxious society.

Gu Mu himself did jump out of that sea of suffering, but he did not gain freedom, but fell into another even more terrifying abyss.

Originally, he had some sympathy for these villagers, but thinking of the situation he was facing now, he was even more sympathetic to himself.

If there is any good way to make everyone in this group rich, he is willing to do it.

But there is no such way.

Relying on themselves to stuff them with money, there is no way to make them rich, and they will only cultivate a group of giant babies who are eager to be fed.

Folks are folks, and there is no such thing as a good relationship.

I was supposed to rest, but these folks came to visit one by one, and chatted with those people all afternoon.

In the evening, the group leader also returned, and with him came the boss who repaired the tomb.

They also brought back a lot of vegetables from the town to treat Gu Mu well.

Almost every family in this group went to the group leader's house for dinner, and it was another big bustle.

After dinner, Gu Mu, the team leader, and the boss of the tomb repairer chatted for a long time.

In that afternoon, the boss had already made a plan for the cemetery, which was similar to what the team leader said, and Gu Mu looked quite satisfied.

Even the boss of the contract printed out two copies, and after the two of them negotiated, they signed the contract, and Gu Mu called Fan Jing of the First Investment Company and asked her to remit 600,000 yuan to the boss's account.

That night, Gu Mu slept in his own home, but he didn't feel at home at all.

Although this house is much better than the house he left when he left, the bed is much better, and the decoration in the room is much better, but it is not his previous house, and it does not feel familiar at all.

It was similar to the feeling after Xiaoxiao returned to the Yuanling Palace, but his strange feeling was stronger than Xiaoxiao's.

Especially when I think of the people I met after I came back, I felt even more strange.

What kind of hometown are you going back to?

There are no relatives in my hometown, what is the home?

Everyone who is close to him comes for his money.

It's definitely not a nice feeling.

While feeling disgusted, there was also a hint of sympathy.

Really a poor bunch of people.

When I think of my situation, I feel sad again.

He is a rootless duckweed that drifts with the tide and drifts towards a fearful future.

The future wasn't what he wanted, but he couldn't find a way out of it.

All beings are suffering, but he feels that he is even more bitter.

At night, Xiaoxiao slept in the same bed with him, feeling that his mood was very low, and he didn't know why, so he could only hold him with both hands.

In this world, the only thing that can give Gu Mu comfort, the only thing that can make Gu Mu completely believe, is this stupid little witch who doesn't understand anything.

Leaving Pengcheng this time, there were many days when Xiaoxiao slept with Gu Mu, but the two did not have that kind of relationship.

I don't know if it's a problem that Gu Mu doesn't dare, and another reason is that Gu Mu really doesn't have that kind of interest these days.

How much can a person's life be at stake, and how much interest can one have in the enjoyment of the flesh?

At least he's not interested in it now.

Hugging Xiaoxiao while sleeping is the only way to keep him from having nightmares during this period of time.

Otherwise, he would have dreamed that he was broken by the person Wang Yongyuan was looking for, and his brain was replaced.

Relying on Xiaoxiao can make him feel safe.

That night, in the middle of the night, Xiaoxiao was suddenly woken up by a burst of crying, and found Gu Mu holding her behind her back, and the tears had already wet the clothes on her back.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoxiao turned around and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just a dream I just had, I dreamed of my mother. Gu Mu said.

He didn't have a dream, but he didn't fall asleep at all.
