Chapter 112: A Remedy

Li Er ran out excitedly, and ran back after a while, Ling'er saw that he was the only one and wondered, is no one willing to do it?

"Girl, the village chief invites you to go to the empty field in front of the ancestral hall, my family is too small to fit those people." Li Erhan said with a smile.

"Okay, you can take us there." Ling'er was right to think about it, this Lijia Village is not a small village, if all the labor of the whole village comes, his family really can't stand.

When Ling'er and the others came to the clearing, it was already full of people, and according to visual sights, there were about 300 people. Li Guiren, the village head of Lijia Village, hurriedly greeted him and saluted Ling'er:

"I've seen the girl." Seeing this, Ling'er hurriedly dodged away and saluted back:

"Village chief, you are too polite, how can I accept this gift from you as a child?"

"Girl, if nothing else, just for you to give us all a way to survive at this time, you can stand my courtesy." The old village chief's eyes moistened as he spoke.

"Village chief, don't say that, I'm also for my own land, and besides, if anyone doesn't work hard, I don't need it. So you don't need to be grateful, we are mutually beneficial. Ling'er is not used to being too grateful, in her opinion, she has not done anything to make people grateful, one contribution is just a normal employment cooperation.

"This girl can rest assured, if anyone cheats and cheats, I will not spare him first." The words of the old village chief have been recognized by everyone, and the whole village, who was worried about their livelihood, finally saw hope, and now Ling'er is like a living bodhisattva in their eyes.

"Zhao Kang will tell everyone about our employment, Yingyi, you are responsible for registration." After Ling'er was let to sit down on the main seat by the village chief, she confessed. The people present had listened carefully to every word they had said from the beginning, and they had not made a single sound except for the determination they had just expressed, and now when they heard that they were about to get to the point, they all listened attentively and calmly.

"Folks, I am Zhao Kang, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion. My girl wants to enclose her 100 acres of land into a village and build some houses on top of the village, so the first registered salary for building a house in a while is 20 yuan a day. And if you don't know how to build a house, you will be responsible for digging drainage ditches, digging such four baskets for a penny, and you will get more for more work. We don't care about food, we just take care of water, so if you want to come to work, you have to bring your own dry food or something. Raise your hand if anyone has anything to ask, and if they don't, go to the queue over there to register. As soon as Zhao Kang's words fell, everyone was boiling, and the salary was quite high. The year before last, the riverbed in the county was clear, and the basket was about to catch up with these two baskets, and only five baskets were given. Their eldest men dig more than 30 baskets a day, and they can't earn five yuan at most, Ling'er's basket is different, and there is no problem at all to earn more than ten yuan a day.

"Is that like we can do it?" A woman stood up and asked.

"Competent, let's look at the number and not the people, even if the children are capable. To be honest, this is also a hurry for us, the more people the better, or the water in this field will be drained and it will become a raw land next year. Zhao Kang's words blew up the crowd like fuse money, and the village chief was about to stop drinking but was stopped by Ling'er.

"Village chief, let everyone talk about it." Seeing this, the village chief also went with them, but in his heart, he also began to calculate, Ling'er's family has hundreds of acres of land, so there are a lot of ditches to be dug. Coupled with building a house or something, no one in their village will starve to death this year, thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ling'er, and in his eyes, Ling'er's body seemed to glow with golden light.

"Okay, now the one who can build a house comes to me, and the one who wants to dig comes to him." Ying Yi saw Zhao Kang shouting twice, and was completely drowned out by everyone's speech, so he had to stand up and roar out, and everyone suddenly quieted down and automatically lined up. Seeing this, Ling'er sighed again that she would still be good at kung fu, if there was no shadow, she would have to waste a lot of energy.

After a busy day, they recruited about 30 people to build houses, and 280 people to dig the earth, although there were 100 women and young people, but it was equivalent to 200 strong laborers. Ling'er is very satisfied with this result, she wants to finish it as soon as possible so that she can start planting the seeds given by her cousin, but she doesn't know if she can plant it, forget it, take one step at a time.

Early the next morning, Ling'er and his party came to the empty field, thinking that they would arrive early, but the villagers had already gathered together, Ling'er looked at the baskets they brought, and was very moved. The baskets they took were all bigger than those that Zhao Kang took yesterday, and some were even twice as big, seeing them so spiritually and said loudly:

"Folks, because the matter is urgent, we haven't prepared so many baskets, everyone will take the baskets to Zhao Kang in a while, and he will reprice you according to the size of your basket." When everyone heard it, they all said no, Ling'er gave Ying Yi a look, and Ying Yi sighed helplessly and shouted:

"Everyone, be quiet, my girl has something to say." Everyone was quiet, and Ling'er nodded approvingly to Ying Yi, making Ying Yi cry and laugh.

"I know everyone's feelings, but rules are rules, and if anyone makes a mistake at that time, I will naturally not be polite." After listening to Ling'er's words, everyone automatically lined up to let Zhao Kang check their baskets, and after Zhao Kang carved a mark on the handle of the basket with a knife, Ling'er asked Yingyi to take someone to build a house. Ling'er's idea was very simple, to open a riverbed two meters wide and one meter deep between that hill and her own land, and to divert the water to the river at the other end, so that the water could be drained out and it would be convenient to get water for irrigation in the future.

Not only that, Ling'er also divided the field into several large pieces, with a small drainage ditch between each of them, so that it would no longer hold water as before. And the excavated soil should not be wasted, all of it is spread on the field, so that the terrain of the field will also increase, and the rotten seedlings will be covered in the soil and turned into fertilizer. After listening to Ling'er's speech, the village chief was in awe of this little girl, but a person like him who has been in the land all his life did not think of such a method, if he had done this earlier, how would he have no harvest this year?

After Ying Yi explained the drawings drawn by Ling'er to Li Er, he asked Li Er to allocate manpower, this Li Er is an expert in building houses, and he will go to the county to do odd jobs every year when the farm is off. The people in the village are also very convinced of him, mainly because he has craftsmanship but is honest and righteous.

There is nothing special about the Zhuangzi designed by Ling'er, she mainly imitates the form of the courtyard design, but there are more rooms, there are six rooms in the main room, twelve rooms in the east and west wings, and six rooms in the front inverted seat. In this way, in addition to living in people, even the warehouse is brought out, anyway, she can build as big as she wants to build her own land, mainly because she has plans in the future, so she will set aside the place now.

In fact, she originally wanted to enclose the entire field into the Zhuangzi, but the cost was too high, and her current ability was a bit far-fetched, so she had to give up and plan to slowly improve it in the future. After everyone knew the situation of the whole project, they all smiled, they are not afraid of living more now, but they are afraid of working less.

Everyone is in full swing, and Ling'er is not idle, she is responsible for boiling water for everyone. This water is necessary for manual work in the summer, and the village chief's wife and two daughters boil water for everyone in the field. Ling'er saw that they couldn't be busy, so they helped, at the beginning, the three of them said that they wouldn't let Ling'er do anything, but then they were really too busy to see that Ling'er really wanted to do it, so they no longer insisted.

"Girl, do you want to use some of the existing people to cover the soil or go to other villages to find some people?" Zhao Kang saw that the wet soil dug out was piled high, so he hurriedly came over to ask Ling'er for instructions.

"Let the woman and the child be responsible for laying the soil, and the wages will be calculated according to the digging of the soil, and as long as there is time, try not to go to other villages to find people. If it is still not enough, I will go back to the village to look for it, and there are still many women who have not come. "Ling'er wants to do as much as possible with the people of Lijia Village, so that they will have a better life this year, and her Zhuangzi is the closest to Lijia Village here. It's better to have a good relationship with Lijia Village, otherwise there will be more rotten.

"Okay, I'll do it." Zhao Kang was instructed to hurry up and assign people.

"Miss Ling, a sincere and kind-hearted person, I have grown so old, let alone see or hear, I have never heard of a family asking women and children to work, we all know that the girl is here to help us get through this hurdle." At the beginning, Li Lin, the wife of the village chief, didn't dare to talk to Ling'er, and after a few days of getting along, they slowly got closer.

"Auntie is serious, and she didn't give everyone money for nothing, and didn't everyone exchange it for labor?" Ling'er said modestly.

"We are not bastards, we all remember what the girl is like to us in Lijia Village, and in the future, when the girl has any use for us, just say it, and we will rush up as soon as possible." I'm not alone, it's all of us. "Li Lin is also a cheerful person, and Ling'er gets along with her very happily.

Ling'er and they go out early and return late every day, Min'er and they haven't seen Ling'er for more than ten days, and Min'er is waiting for her today.

"Sister, why don't you sleep so late?" As soon as Ling'er entered the door, she saw Min'er sitting in the hall and asked in surprise.

"You know late, too? Seeing that the sky is so tired, how can your body stand it? "Ling'er is the time to grow her body, so she can't be too tired.

"Sister, where can I be tired, and I don't have to do it." Ling'er didn't dare to say that she had back pain now.

"Huh, you're the one who watched?" Min'er didn't believe her.

"Sister, I just can't do it if I want to, do you think I can build a house or dig and pick up soil? Don't worry, I'm not tired. Ling'er coquettishly told Min'er.

"Tomorrow, you have a day of rest at home, just let Zhao Kang and them go, see that your little face is tanned." Min'er stroked Ling'er's little face, which was very heartbroken.

"I have to watch it, I'm not at home at ease." Ling'er continued to be coquettish to Min'er, and the sisters got along very warmly...... (To be continued.) )
