After the fruit trees were planted, everyone crowded into the village committee office, waiting for Lao Chen to send money. But they saw that Xiao Luo gave a thick wad of banknotes to Lao Chen. The villagers were talking to each other, estimating how much money they should get.

Lao Chen took out a small notebook, and he counted it every day after the completion of the book, and remembered it clearly one by one. At least there was no objection to the person who received the money, Luo Tong stood aside and watched everyone happy, and she herself was happy.

A total of 30 people were hired to open up the wasteland, and it took three days, 100 per day, that is, 9,000 yuan. The next two days are digging tree pits and planting fruit trees, a total of 2,446 fruit tree saplings, 30 yuan per tree, that is, 73,380 yuan.

Luo Tong gave Lao Chen 80,000 yuan, and there was not much left after the salary, and there was still 6,620 yuan left. Luo Tong couldn't help but sigh, the money really can't be spent, but fortunately, the sapling has been planted, as long as it starts to bear fruit, it can't be lost.

The villagers who got the cash in their hands all smiled, and they didn't leave, just watched the others divide the money, and at the same time quietly discussed: "Hey, how much do you take?" This is villager A.

"Hey, I didn't take much at all, only 1800. Villager B said this, but the expression on his face would be better if he were not so proud.

"That's more than me, I'm only 1600 with a little. "Party A smashed it, it's a bit of a pity. "Why are you so fast?"

Villager B pouted, "What kind of am I? Look at that one." He sneered and pointed to a tall figure in the corner. "That's a lot, and if I do the math, he's three times as much as I do. ”

Villager A gasped: "So many? Yes, the dumb man has always been strong, and he still has to support his seventy-year-old grandmother, so naturally he has to work harder." ”

Luo Tong also heard the villagers' discussions, and she looked at the tall figure. She didn't stay in the orchard all the time, so she didn't know that there was such a person. Soon it was time for the dumb man to take the money, Lao Chen calculated it a few times, and finally gave him 7800.

This does not include the 300 he opened up before, and even the one who opened up the wasteland, the dumb man shared 8,100 yuan this time, which made the villagers very envious. But everyone has no opinion, because the dumb man is really too desperate, he is still digging tree pits after eating at night, he comes earlier than everyone in the morning, and he has to be so late in the evening, who doesn't earn more?

Only then did Luo Tong see the mute face, just now he had been in the corner, and with his head down, Luo Tong could only see his back. Now he couldn't help but look surprised, without him, he looked too young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with dark skin. The clothes he wore were also very old, and there were several holes in several places, and the silk cotton wool was exposed.

It's early winter, but the mute's hands are already covered with chilblains, and it seems that this mute is also a bitter man.

The dumb man was stunned when he got the money, and didn't say anything, and after a while, big tears fell and fell on the money in his hand. Soon the money was wet, and the dumb man lowered his head and wailed, and the sound of ah-ah in his mouth made people's hearts sour.

Although Luo Tong didn't understand why he was crying, he could hear sadness and joy in his crying. A few sensual aunts in the crowd had quietly wiped away their tears, the dumb man was really too hard, but their ability to be elders was limited, and they couldn't help him anything.

When he went back, Uncle Chen and Luo Tong talked about being dumb. Mute is also a poor child. His name is Chen Weihong, he is only 16 years old, and he is not born mute. The mute family is poor, his grandfather used to be a hunter in the village, once went into the mountains to hunt and never came back, leaving the dumb grandmother to drag a son to grow up.

The dumb grandmother finally managed her son to marry a daughter-in-law, but she knew that her son's life was not good, and he contracted an illness and died not long after marriage, leaving a posthumous son. The new daughter-in-law didn't want a child, or the mute grandmother cried and begged, and the new daughter-in-law gave birth to the child.

After the child was born, the new daughter-in-law left with the burden, and when she left, she emptied the last bit of the family's money. Dumb grandma grew up eating 100 family meals with dumb people, dumb people were not dumb when they were young, they spoke very neatly, I heard that once they ran to the mountains naughtily, and ate a kind of grass by mistake, and they won't talk from then on.

The mute grandmother broke her eyes from crying and took him to the doctor, who said she was powerless. The dumb grandmother had no choice but to bring the child back. Where does the old man know this, and where do they know that children can go to those special schools? The mute dropped out of school, but he loved to learn and often held a book in his hand.

Later, the mute grandmother fell ill, and the family really had no money, and the mute heard others say that he could make money by moving bricks on the construction site. The mute went to the construction site to move bricks, and a 12-year-old child did this kind of hard work.

Who knew that I met a black-hearted boss, a dumb man who moved bricks for three months, and didn't get a penny, a 12-year-old child, what do you expect him to know about calling the police to defend his rights? Later, the villagers pooled money to help the dumb grandmother pay the medical bills.

After the dumb man was deceived, he no longer dared to go out to work, for fear of meeting such a black-hearted boss again, and he would not be able to reason anywhere, not to mention that he could not speak. The mute farmer farmed in the village, raised chickens, and barely survived.

The mute is also a person with strong self-esteem, and in the past few years, he has successively paid off the medical expenses given by the villagers. Now I heard that Luo Tong was going to hire someone here, and the treatment was not bad, so the dumb man came to Lao Chen, and Lao Chen agreed with a soft heart.

After listening to the mute background, Luo Tong knew that there was not only light in the world, but so much darkness and bitterness in places she couldn't see. After seeing the mute man today, she understood what it means to be a poor man's child who is in charge of the house.

At the same time, she asked herself, if you had grown up in an environment like a mute, would you have worked as hard as he did?

Luo Tong asked himself, do you have the ability, leisure and money, do you have anything to do for the society? Thinking of this, Luo Tong felt ashamed. She's also recently discovered some of her problems, perhaps because the ability is too bizarre, and the ability can solve most of the problems in her career.

This has led to her not being so concerned about the things she is currently handling, whether it is contracting a rose garden or an orchard, she will hold such an idea, it's okay, I have a special ability, it's okay, I have money, I can afford to lose, and now when I think of this, Luo Tong feels that she is too blessed to know the blessing.
