Wang Yanru is a little girl at the bottom, and she is still very playful.

After coming out of Master Zheng's courtyard, she took Zhou Shanjun to wander around the city for an afternoon, and she didn't care that the man in her hand was absent-minded, and looked east and west with enthusiasm.

Zhou Shanjun was different, he was full of worries about how to get the steel cable, although he didn't show displeasure, he was still a little anxious.

Watching Wang Yanru enter a grain store, he was very strange, this eldest lady went to the fabric store, the restaurant, and looked at the fun places, just what to do in the grain store, but he was puzzled, but he heard her say to the grain store shopkeeper: "Can I borrow your thatched house and use it?" ”

It stands to reason that ordinary people will refuse this request, but the strange thing is that the shopkeeper of the grain store smiled and was very polite to her, and even led the way ahead.

"You wait for me in the store for a while, and I'll come at my convenience."

After Wang Yanru threw down this sentence, she followed the grain store shopkeeper into the inner house.

Zhou Shanjun was very puzzled, but he couldn't ask too many questions, so he had to wander around the grain store.

At this time, the impact of the floods in the Yellow River has gradually emerged, and grain prices have risen sharply compared with a few months ago.

Zhou Shanjun also had the experience of following everyone around to collect grain, so he naturally understood the impact of the sharp rise in grain on Yangshupu, and the previous price could buy a cart of grain, but now he can only buy less than half a cart, and if this continues, the porridge factory will have to be closed.

He picked up a handful of rice with his hands, but his eyes were attracted by a faded word for king on the grain bucket.

Whether it is the way this king character is written, or the position of the word written on the barrel, he feels very familiar, he has seen it in Huoshan, in Lu'an, and now he sees it again in Lihuang, which makes him a little surprised. After thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood why Wang Yanru had to go to this grain store to go to the toilet, it turned out that this store was opened by her family, and it was the branch of the Wang family grain store in Foziling. No wonder this word is so familiar, it turns out that he is in the Wang family, and he has seen too much in Foziling.

Zhou Shanjun discovered this little secret and didn't break it, but he had already read the joy on Wang Yanru's face, and asked her what was so happy, but she didn't expect her to say mischievously: "You play with me for two days first, and then it will naturally surprise you." ”

…………

I didn't see a stupid bear for three days in a row, which made Sun Yumin a little anxious. He wasn't worried that anything would happen to the stupid bear, but he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to come to see him because he hadn't found a suitable place.

sent Xiaoshanzi to look for it, but even he was nowhere to be found, so in desperation, he had to go to the village to find these two uneasy goods.

As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw Xiao Yuying coming back with Chu Jiu in her arms, needless to say that she was going to eat "Baijia Rice" again.

"Girl, have you seen Iron Guts and Xiaoshan? How I feel like these two are avoiding me. ”

Sun Yumin asked while teasing Chu Jiu.

"No, I've seen these two people in the past few days, busy transporting materials to the outside of the village, and I don't let others follow, they are doing it themselves."

Xiao Yuying replied casually, and then looked very angry: "I asked what the two of them were doing, and they looked mysterious." As a result, the two of them ignored me, if it wasn't for Chu Jiu being entangled, it would be strange if I didn't kill them. ”

"Where's her aunt in the ninth year? Why does it seem like you're taking it with you these days, what about her? ”

Sun Yumin himself didn't intend to mention Chen Lai, I don't know why this woman suddenly made such a move that day, fortunately she was determined enough, otherwise she couldn't tell what would happen.

He had very little contact with Chen Lai, and if it weren't for the relationship between Chu Jiu, it is estimated that the two of them would not be able to say a few words. Although this little Nizi is better looking and has a better figure than her sister, I don't know why, Sun Yumin was stunned when he saw her. Moreover, inadvertently, he could always find that this woman's smiling eyes were staring at him all the time.

Whenever Chen Lai was by his side, Sun Yumin always felt a little strange, and even felt that there would be danger, and this premonition made him keep a distance from this little sister-in-law.

"Chen Lai, I've been running to Huoshan these days, I heard Brother Liu say that she has bought a lot of things during this time, and all she spent was our money."

Xiao Yuying is a money fan, as long as it involves money, what she says can make people feel distressed, as if someone else has scraped her two taels of oil.

"Let her spend it, forgive her and it won't cost much, who will let my brother owe them anything!"

In Sun Yumin's heart, as long as Chen Lai doesn't get too close to him, he won't ask about things like spending a little money, whatever she wants.

"I'm going to find the stupid bears, you can take the ninth day at home."

Sun Yumin saw that Xiao Yuying was still unhappy, so he had to give up the idea of persuading her again, he really didn't have a good way to deal with "miser".

"You couldn't find them, and I saw them driving two wagons out of the village."

Xiao Yuying carried Chu Jiu into the room, didn't look back, and threw out this sentence.

After hearing this, Sun Yumin was stunned all of a sudden, he was going to find the stupid bear and ask if the place had been found, but now he doesn't need to ask to know that the goods have been found, and he has started construction without telling him, which caught Sun Yumin off guard, and he is still a little uncomfortable when he is idle.

Yes, I haven't been looking for Liu Wenzhi for a few days, and I don't know how the things I arranged for him are going. Sun Yumin's originally stunned face showed a smile, he finally found something for himself. With this thought in his mind, he walked to the newly built ancestral hall, Yangshupu Village has changed too much after several months of construction, and this Yang ancestral hall is one of the best witnesses. After obtaining the consent of the old village chief and the villagers, several wings of the ancestral hall were used as the offices of Liu Wenzhi, Deng Dongping, and Dong Wenbin.

In fact, Sun Yumin always felt a little guilty about Liu Wenzhi, if it weren't for him, these tedious things would have been done by him, and it would be impossible to be a shopkeeper like now.

When he walked into Liu Wenzhi's house, Sun Yumin really felt what it means to have no place to stay, not only a lot of ledgers and other things, but also many samples of materials, even samples of grain, etc., which filled this small room.

"It's the mason's wages, wait a minute, I still have a little work to do."

Hearing the footsteps of someone coming in, Liu Wenzhi didn't even raise his head, and said this sentence directly.

Sun Yumin didn't bother him, he looked through all kinds of materials by himself, waited for a cup of tea, he still didn't raise his head, and when he was bored, he picked up a ledger, only turned a page, and heard Liu Wenzhi speak.

"Brother, you can't turn over the ledger, please wait a little longer, a few minutes at most, and I'll settle it right away."

When he said these words, he still didn't raise his head, obviously put all his thoughts on the account, this look of full concentration and concentration made Sun Yumin feel even more guilty, he couldn't bear to quarrel with this obviously emaciated good brother anymore, so he had to put down the tent, quietly leaning on the door frame, and staring at Liu Wenzhi, who kept writing and writing.

"Boss, when are you here, why are you standing at the door......"

Deng Dongping came out of his office with a warm pot, and happened to see Sun Yumin leaning on the door frame, so he hurriedly asked.

Although Sun Yumin quickly made a shushing gesture, this sentence was still heard by Liu Wenzhi, this was the first time he had raised his head after standing here for nearly a cup of tea.

"Big brother, you won't make a noise when you come." Liu Wenzhi was a little apologetic, and there was a look of self-reproach on his face.

"I see you're busy, I can't bear to disturb you." Sun Yumin hurriedly said. Not only did he have to find a step for this good brother, but he even said that he was not good. "It's not the right time for me to come, so it's right to wait."

"Boss, you sit ......" Liu Wenzhi hurriedly beckoned, but when he saw that there was almost no place to stay in this room, he said embarrassedly: "I'm too messy, I have no place to sit." ”

After saying this, he said to Deng Dongping, who was carrying a thermos: "Hurry up and lead the boss to your house, I'll come right away." ”

Sun Yumin was not polite, and followed Deng Dongping to his house.

Compared with Liu Wenzhi's office, it is much more tidy, not only with desks and chairs, but also with three chairs and a coffee table, which has obviously become a place for the three of them to rest and drink tea.

"Boss, why do you have time to come to us today?"

Deng Dongping asked with a grin, he was asking questions on his lips, but he was busy making tea in his hands.

"I want to see everyone's recent progress, winter is coming, and I want everyone to finish what they are doing before the snow falls."

Sun Yumin naturally couldn't say that he came to see it because he was in a hurry, and found a high-sounding reason to make himself less embarrassed.

"The three of us were still chatting yesterday to find a time to report to you, but I didn't expect you to come in person."

Deng Dongping brought the tea to Sun Yumin, then walked to his desk, took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer, walked to the coffee table again, stretched out his hand and handed it to him, and said, "This is the progress of my piece, and I have written it all on it." ”

Sun Yumin has made a lot of paper things during this time, and he really doesn't want to look at these words anymore, although he took these pages, but he said in his mouth: "You better talk about it, many things may not be able to be expressed in words." ”

"I'll talk first, I'll talk first." Liu Wenzhi's voice came from outside the door, and he didn't hold a few pieces of paper in his hand, but a large stack of ledgers and other books for him to move. "Dongping, I still have a mess over there, let me talk about it first."

"Let you find a helper, you have to not listen, you will be tired and small, and you will delay the boss's big things, then the gains outweigh the losses."

Although Deng Dongping's words sounded a little uncomfortable, they were actually the concern between brothers, and he also saw that Liu Wenzhi was too busy and too busy, and if he went on like this for a long time, his body would definitely not be able to stand it.

"Yes, Wenzhi, you really have to pay attention, don't exhaust yourself."

Sun Yumin also said at the right time.

"Uh-huh, I listen to you." Liu Wenzhi put the stack of things in his hand on the coffee table, then sat on the chair and said, "Let me start with the reconstruction of the poplar shop." ”

Sun Yumin listened to him carefully, although he knew something about the process of reconstruction, he still didn't expect that things were so complicated that they made him jaw-dropping.

Liu Wenzhi began to control the construction personnel and daily meals from the beginning of the demolition of the old house. Even the volunteer laborers in every household in the village are clearly remembered. Later, the personnel who were sent out to purchase, the plasterers and small workers who came back, he calculated the accounts to the end, and the strokes were very clear.

"Boss, only the last five houses are left in the poplar shop reconstruction work, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed in half a month at most. If the money we brought from Wuhan hadn't been blackmailed to the devils, there might still be a little left, but now there is nothing left, if you hadn't gotten some back from Huoshan County and robbed Wang Degui's belongings, we would have run out of food. ”

Liu Wenzhi told all the reconstruction work in one breath, and before Sun Yumin could digest it, he said again: "Last time, I let the flat stone rob the money, and a few villagers and plasterers died, and here we also gave enough compensation for their family's life to live without worry, and people's lives were sent, and we feel sorry for this money, it is a little too inhumane, and this money is not recorded in the account, because the amount is relatively too large......

"You did the right thing, the family is gone, if we are stingy in compensation, we will really not be human."

Sun Yumin deeply agreed with this point, and when he was recuperating from his wounds in Wuhan, he wanted to fight for a sum of money to pay compensation to the fallen soldiers of the 20th Division, but because there were too many people killed in the battle, the amount of money was too large, and it was really beyond his ability, so he had to give it up. Now he can afford it, so why not do it.

"The rebuilding of the poplar shop is nearing completion, and another big problem is almost solved."

"Big trouble? What other big troubles do we have? How did I not know? ”

Sun Yumin let out a long breath after seeing Liu Wenzhi finish saying that, it seemed that for him, the unspoken matter was a real big trouble.

"Refugees." Liu Wenzhi's face was full of surprise, and then said: "Big brother, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten this headache." ”

To tell the truth, Sun Yumin has become accustomed to the refugees who can be seen everywhere in and outside the village, and these kind people only need to have a mouth of porridge to drink and a mouthful of food to eat, basically not to disturb the normal life and work of the villagers in Yangshupu, some young and strong refugees will go to the construction site to do small work, that is, to earn wages, and some will pack some meals to take back to relatives who are curled up in a certain eaves or a corner that can shelter from the wind and rain.

"As you and I talked about last time, you helped them build a village, right?"

Sun Yumin immediately remembered this incident, and he was more concerned about the settlement of these refugees than conscription.

"I have discussed with the old village chief and Uncle Yang Dong and the elders in several villages, Yangshupu can take in dozens of households here, there is a place suitable for making houses on the east side of the village, and a part of the cultivated land in the village will be set aside, and they will open up some wasteland by themselves, and there will be no accidents, which can ensure the food and clothing of these dozens of families for a year."

"The refugees inside and outside our village can't be solved by just settling a few dozen families."

Sun Yumin only now realizes that the difficulty of this matter is not as simple as imagined.
