Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wages and Wages

Cheng Yangyang didn't hide it, opened the money bag directly to show them, grabbed a handful in front of them, quickly counted fifteen copper plates, and handed it to Wang Dafei.

"Cheng girl, give too much!" Wang Dafei took the money in his hand and asked to return five copper plates to her.

"It's not much, a day and a half of work is fifteen copper plates", Cheng Yangyang didn't ask Wang Dafei to return the five copper plates, and continued to look down and count them to the next person.

"It's a day and a half, we only did a day's work, and we didn't work when it rained yesterday", Wang Dafei still didn't want to go.

"That's because of the weather, not because of you", the original plan was a day and a half, but because of the help of the rain, the ground was softer, and it was also a boost, and it had nothing to do with them.

Among the villagers who got the money, many of them became grandfathers, but it was the first time in their lives that they got their wages, and they were excited for a long time, holding the copper plates one by one, and touching them one by one, which was not enough.

"Cheng girl, when the time comes, the grain will be collected in the field, but you must call me, I also pointed to the New Year to earn money to buy meat for my son to say goodbye", a man who looked fifty or sixty years old, with half of his hair white, squeezed over and said with a smile.

Cheng Yangyang remembered him, his name was Wang Dashan, and he had the same name as Wang Xiaoshan's father, so he was more impressed by him.

According to what Wang Xiaoshan told her before, Wang Dashan has three sons in the family, the eldest son is eighteen years old and has not yet married, the younger son does not know what disease he has, he has never been out, and the family is too poor.

"Okay", Cheng Yangyang readily agreed, and when he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by other people who grabbed jobs.

"Call me too, and I'll come too."

"And me, I work fast, and I can do it in the snow."

They thought that it would at least snow when the grain was harvested, so they hurriedly said that whether it was snow or rain, they could come out to do work if they had work.

"There is work!" they were so enthusiastic, Cheng Yangyang was embarrassed to refuse, "You don't have to wait for the grain to be harvested, you will have work in two days, and you will have to work hard for your brothers and uncles at that time."

When she was planting seeds in the field, she stared at the field around the thatched house, the large field in front of the door and the large field by the stream, which was so useful!

The creek not far from the thatched house is a mountain spring, living water, and the land on both sides of the stream cannot be planted because of the uneven terrain, but it can raise fish!

Tomorrow she will go to the city to find what she needs to prepare for fish farming, and when she buys it, she can hire someone to dig a fish pond.

After paying the salary, Cheng Yangyang walked to the village with the empty basket on her back, and before she entered the village, the lively sound in the village reached her ears, and the excitement was of course because of the fifteen copper plates she sent.

"Daddy, we haven't seen copper coins in a long time," a village woman greeted her husband at the entrance of the village, carefully holding the copper plate in the man's hand, and her eyes lit up with joy.

The others, both women and children, ran excitedly towards their men to see the fifteen copper plates.

Cheng Yangyang walked behind them, and when she saw the warm scene of this little person being happy for a little thing, she smiled unconsciously, but at the same time she was inexplicably helpless.

Wang Xiaoshan stood at the door of his house, watching people pass by with a smile, he only had envy, if it weren't for these two legs, maybe he would be able to get paid today.

The people in the village had already walked away, and they all went back to their homes, but Wang Xiaoshan was still watching, and he didn't notice that Cheng Yangyang was already standing behind him.

"Hey!" Cheng Yangyang patted him on the shoulder.

Wang Xiaoshan was lightly frightened by her, he retracted his gaze, looked at her, and said with a smile: "Sister, are you done?"

"Don't laugh, it's too ugly", Cheng Yangyang said with disgust, she didn't see his loneliness, but she didn't want to comfort him, "How is the leg?"

She brought him medicine last time she went to the city, plus the wild vegetables she picked in the back mountains that could cure diseases, mixed with spiritual spring water and gave him more than half a month, it should have some effect.

"It doesn't hurt, it's almost better", it really doesn't hurt anymore, the wound on the leg didn't hurt the bones, but the flesh fell off, and now it's growing, it's just not beautiful, scary.

"Can you do the job?"

"Yes!" Wang Xiaoshan nodded affirmatively, "But, isn't your work done?"

"There will be life in two days, I will call you then", Cheng Yangyang patted him on the shoulder, and left after speaking, leaving Wang Xiaoshan stunned in place, and it took a long time to react.

The next day, Cheng Yangyang got up early in the morning as usual, because there was no bed in either the thatched house or her space, and she couldn't sleep on the ground.

"Yo, Cheng Yatou, are you going to the city?" When passing by Wangjia Village, the people who got up early to cook saw her dressed and knew that she was going to the city.

"Hmm", Cheng Yangyang nodded with a smile and continued to walk forward.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and she was already sweating profusely before she had walked halfway, and she sighed in despair as she looked at the mountain that was about to be turned in front of her, and had to climb.

She was about to kick up the mountain path with a stone in one hand and a branch next to her in the other, when the sound of cattle herding and whistling came from behind her.

Cheng Yangyang looked back and saw that it was an ox cart! There was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy sitting on the cart, the boy was shirtless, and the vest on his body had been washed white.

"Little brother, you wait!"

Cheng Yangyang gave up climbing the mountain and happily ran to the front of the ox cart, the young man heard someone call him, he pulled the rope to let the ox stop, and looked at Cheng Yangyang who was blocking in front.

"Little sister, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay", Cheng Yangyang shook his hand and told him not to be afraid, "I'm from Wangjia Village, I'm going to the city, I'm a little curious to see your ox cart, can I walk the ox cart here?"

She looked around, only the mountain road she was about to pedal just now was an obvious path, and the rest of the place was full of weeds, how did the ox cart come here?

When the young man heard that she was going to the city, he waved his hand, and his voice was even more hearty, "Then you get in the car, and I'll give you a ride!"

"Are you going to the city too?" Cheng Yangyang was overjoyed, wouldn't she be so coincidental to catch up with the ox cart in the city, right?

"No, I go to Zhuangjia Village outside the city, I can take a short ride for you, and when you get to Zhuangjia Village, you can walk a few steps to the city."

"Okay, good!" Zhuangjia Village she knew, just outside the city, she went to the city before, the last mountain she turned was the mountain of Zhuangjia Village, and after Zhuangjia Village, she walked a few steps to the city.

Since she could go without her legs, of course Cheng Yangyang was willing, the young man gave way to her, and she climbed into the car neatly.

The black buffalo pulling the cart in front seemed to have walked many times, and walked towards a bush of grass with a familiar road, it turned out that there was a road under the bush, but there was no ox cart here, and the weeds on the road grew fiercely.
