Chapter Seventy-Nine: Liujia Village
Cheng Yangyang was tired all the way, she found a stone to sit down, anyway, there was a lot of time in Liujia Village, and everyone sat on the stone and looked at her curiously.
That gaze, I'm afraid I haven't seen a good-looking, white, tender, and gentle girl like Cheng Yangyang, no wonder Liu Xiqing only saw her and asked the matchmaker to say kiss, although this kiss was not said in the end.
"Sister Cheng, Village Chief Wang, why are you here?" Liu Xiqing gasped for several breaths before he asked her.
"I'm here to see your wood, didn't I say last time that I might want to buy your wood?" she said for the purpose of saying it, and when she entered the village, she saw that there were piles of cut wood in front of every house in Liujia Village.
"Xiqing, is this the girl?" A pair of men and women who followed Liu Xiqing and ran behind him pointed to Cheng Yangyang and asked.
Liu Xiqing saw that his father and mother actually pointed at Cheng Yangyang in front of him and called him "that girl", he quickly pressed the hands of the two of them, and awkwardly introduced Cheng Yangyang: "Sister of the Cheng family, this is my father's mother."
"Uncle, aunt, hello", no wonder the two of them looked at her so strangely, "I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I came in a hurry, I didn't bring anything, I will definitely visit next time!"
But God knows that she didn't come to see the elders today, she just came to buy wood and discuss things with Village Chief Liu by the way.
"No, no, you can come, sister of the Cheng family!" Liu Xiqing pulled the second elder aside and didn't let them say anything more.
"Ahem!" Village Chief Wang beside Cheng Yangyang coughed twice, standing with her, it was easy to be forgotten, "Is your village chief here, we came to him for something."
"I'm here, the village chief is at home, let's take you there!"
The villagers of Liujia Village led the way in front, followed by a group of people, and the big guys all looked at Cheng Yangyang curiously, hearing that she was a rich master.
But doesn't she look good-looking, and it's no different from others, how can she make so much money?
Cheng Yangyang followed them up a small slope, there were many stones on the small slope, they almost stepped on the stones to go up, and the place next to the exposed dirt was either planted with trees or only one tree pit, such a terrain could not grow crops.
But this place is not bad to live in, at least in the summer it is cool everywhere, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.
"Village chief, the people from Wangjia Village are looking for you", everyone arrived at a small courtyard on the slope, and there was a paved open space in the small courtyard, and everyone stood in the open space.
The people in the room heard the voice and came out with their rice bowls, "Yo, everyone is here, have you eaten?"
"What are you eating, village chief, the Cheng family girl from Wangjia Village is here!"
Village Chief Liu saw Cheng Yangyang standing in the crowd at a glance, but he didn't fit in with the crowd, he stuffed his chopsticks into the hand holding the bowl, and greeted her with his right hand empty-handed.
"It's Miss Cheng, hurry up, hurry up, come into the house and drink saliva!"
"Village Chief Liu, no need", Cheng Yangyang doesn't want to enter the door, there is not enough time to deal with favors when he enters the door, how can he have time to talk about serious things, "Let's just sit in the yard."
Hearing this, Village Chief Liu found two stools for them, and the others either sat on trees or stones, all of which were not far away from listening.
"Village Chief Liu, we have two things we want to discuss with you today", Cheng Yangyang took a sip of the water they handed and said directly.
"My family is going to build a house tomorrow, and I want to buy some wood from everyone, I don't know how much wood there is in the village that can be sold?"
"Buy wood, okay!" Hearing that she was here to buy wood, Village Chief Liu welcomed it very much, "We have wood in our village, and we can have as much wood as you want."
Liujiacun is worried that the wood will not be sold this year, so he will have to stay at home as firewood.
"I'll build the size of one acre of land, not much", Cheng Yangyang didn't know how much wood he needed to build a house of 500 square meters, so he let them calculate it.
"That's it......" Village Chief Liu is really experienced, he can calculate when he opens his mouth, "If you leave a yard for one acre of land, it will be almost ......"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yangyang interrupted, "Village Chief Liu, the acre of land I built does not include a yard, it is a house, and I want to build two floors."
"Huh, it's so big!"
Everyone was shocked, the house in the city was only built so big, this little girl is really rich!
"Village Chief Liu, I brought the drawings, you can help see how much wood you need, I bought them in Liujia Village", Cheng Yangyang handed the drawings to Village Chief Liu.
"If there are people in the village who are good at building houses, I will ask you to help, and I want to live in them before the Chinese New Year."
Everyone in Liujia Village was curious to gather behind Village Chief Liu to look at her drawings, the house she painted was not the kind of houses they usually saw, several houses, and kitchen firewood rooms on both sides.
What she painted was that in a big house, there were many small houses, and the small houses were big and small, and there were other things they couldn't understand.
"This house is amazing!" Village Chief Liu admired, such a challenging house made him a little excited, "Miss Cheng, if you have enough money, we will let you live in a sturdy and good house!"
"Okay, then it's troublesome Village Chief Liu!" is what she wants, the house is handed over to a professional, and she is much more relieved.
With the house out of the way, it's time to talk about another thing.
"Village Chief Liu, I heard that you don't plan to plant any more trees next year, right?"
Cheng Yangyang saw it when he came up just now, and after many trees were cut down, the tree pits were kept and no longer planted.
Speaking of this, Village Chief Liu is worried!
"Alas, the trees are not easy to sell, those who have a little money have built those green bricks and tiles, and those who have no money will build houses, and if we plant trees again, we will all starve to death, so it is better to cut wood and sell it in the city!"
"And what are your plans for next year?"
This question made the people of Liujia Village present silent, in their village, crops could not be planted, and trees were planted and lost, this is to force them to death!
"Those who can find a job will find a job, and those who can go to their relatives will run away, but if you can't do it, you will flee elsewhere, but don't stay in this mountain lump!"
Their Liujia Village, they used to rely on planting trees for a while, at that time every household had cattle, but now it is not done, there are fewer and fewer cattle in the village, and many people plan to flee after the New Year.
Cheng Yangyang is used to such scenes, in this world, everywhere she goes, she sees a group of people who are too poor to eat.
They are struggling to hold on, guarding their own one-acre and three-point land, it is obvious that Liujiacun is about to be unable to hold on, and their one-acre and three-point land has now become a burden, and they can only make their lives more miserable.
