In fact, Jiang Sanshiro and the others came from the "Earth Star" this time, but his master built a simple wooden house in Laolin Mountain a hundred years ago as usual, and he has repaired the wooden house many times in the past hundred years, occasionally in Naqi Mountain.

Therefore, when the hunters of the older generation in Longjiushan Village went to Laolin Mountain to hunt, they saw the wooden house a lot, and some saw the owner of the wooden house as usual.

Because many animals are protected by the state and prey is becoming scarcer and scarcer, no one now goes into the old forest mountain to hunt.

Jiang Sanshiro made up a story and said: "I don't know the specific reason, my master said that I was picked up by the river in the third month of the lunar calendar, one day in the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar, so I named it Jiang Sanshiro." I don't have a surname, and my surname and first name were given by Master. ”

The village chief asked curiously, "Then how many people do you have?"

Jiang Sanshilang replied: "Just the two of us, the child was also picked up by my master in the south of the river one summer five years ago. So he also took the surname Jiang, his name was Jiangnan Junxia. ”

The village chief laughed after hearing this, and said, "It seems that your master and apprentice are really masters in the world, and you have different names for people, so where did your master go?"

Jiang Sanshiro brought out the words that he had already thought of as a countermeasure: "Master didn't come back last year. We searched for a long time but we couldn't find it. ”

The village chief replied softly: "Oh, that's it!"

Because I heard that the master was gone, it was inconvenient to mention it more, so as not to cause sadness. It's just that how did he know that other people's masters are no different from immortals.

He shifted his gaze and asked Junxia in a long tone, "Little friend, how old are you?"

Jiang Nan Junxia saw the village chief asking himself, and hurriedly raised his eyes and replied: "Back to the village chief, I'm six years old!"

Seeing that he was handsome, with a good look in his eyes, and a very polite reply, the village chief liked him very much, and said: "What a smart boy, it's time to go to school! Fortunately, there is a primary school in our village, and in the future, junior high school will be studied in the township, and high school will only be available in the town and county." ”

Jiang Sanshilang responded, listening to the tone of the village chief, as if he had accepted the two of them, and said: "Look, I forgot to ask your surname, I really shouldn't have it." ”

The village chief said politely: "My surname is Wan, and the people in the village have been used to calling me only the village chief over the years, and it is the same if you call the village chief." ”

After a short time, the village party secretary and clerk were invited, and the two of them were also men in their forties.

The village chief's wife got up early to give up her seat, poured a bowl of boiling water for each of them, and sat on a bench with her mother-in-law.

The village chiefs briefed each other and briefed them on the situation.

The branch secretary understood that it was not easy for the two of them to come out of Laolin Mountain on this snowy day, and it was not early, so it must be inappropriate for them to go back, and they had to solve it for them as soon as possible, so he said: "It's time to move out and live, it's too inconvenient in the deep mountains, and the most important thing is that the child is of school age." ”

The village chief and the clerk both nodded in support of the branch secretary's opinion, and the branch secretary said: "When you move out, the first thing is to solve the housing problem. As for the formalities, you can settle down and then solve it slowly. ”

Jiang Sanshilang understood that the housing problem in the village was relatively difficult to solve, and saw that the branch secretary was willing to accept the two of them, so he moved out the words prepared in advance and said: "That's the case, my master left some money for us when he left, and the master has already considered the problem of the house for us. ”

And asked: "I just don't know how much it will cost to build a wooden house with a four-room middle and a living room, everything can be simple?"

The village chief didn't know how much money he had, and he didn't know how much money he was willing to spend to build a house, so he tentatively asked: "Few people build wooden houses now, and we all built these wooden houses decades or even hundreds of years ago, do we have to build wooden houses?"

Although Jiang Sanshilang was carrying a stack of tickets, since he came out to negotiate as a person from the deep mountains, how could he show his wealth, and pretended to be a layman to cover up: "We are used to living in wooden houses, is the cost of wooden houses less or brick houses less?"

Seeing that he was interested in saving money, the village chief also knew that it was not easy for people in the mountains, and said: "If you want to be simple, the cost of the wooden house is less, because there are many ways to use the simple wooden house; ”

Jiang Sanshiro thought for a moment and said, "Then build a wooden house." ”

The village chief took over and said, "If you build a wooden house, it is estimated that 10,000 to 15,000 yuan will be about the same. I wonder if Brother Jiang has enough money?"

Jiang Sanshiro deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The money is enough, is it even the salary?"

The village chief nodded and said: "Yes, there is a lot of wood in the mountains, and you can ask everyone to help cut down a lot of miscellaneous trees, don't need the capital, just give everyone a little salary." ”

Jiang Sanshilang knew in his heart that if he only took out 10,000 yuan, the house might be built too simply, and he would wronged Xiao Xiannan. If the wages are less, the villagers will not be satisfied. It's okay to take out fifteen thousand.

Besides, if you build a brick house, it is far more than that, and it is not considered rich. So he said: "Then thank you to the village leaders and everyone, I will pay 15,000 yuan here, and make up for it when it is not enough." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took out two stacks of tickets from his chest underwear pocket, which were 20,000, counted out fifty tickets for a total of 5,000 and put them back in his underwear pocket, and put 15,000 on the table. And said politely: "I'm just embarrassed to bother everyone!"

When the leaders saw that he was neat and tidy and had confidence in others, they couldn't help but praise in their hearts: "This man is a great man!"

The branch secretary asked again: "It's just that I don't know if Brother Jiang has paid attention to it in advance?"

Jiang Sanshiro turned his face to the branch secretary and replied: "I came here last year to see it, and when I turned over this mountain, there is a small mountain spring on my waist and back, and there is also a flow of water in winter, so it would be best if I could open a flat land a little below the water source." I just don't know if the land can be used?"

When the clerk heard this, he praised: "Brother Jiang really has good eyesight, someone has already taken a fancy to it there, but it is too quiet for a single family to live there, so no one builds a house there." ”

He added: "There are no three or five families in our village who build houses together, or the land has already been used." But brother, you are from the mountains, you are not afraid of loneliness, we have made a little trouble here, maybe you are not used to it, brother!"

After taking a sip of hot water, he said: "Brother Jiang, look at us, we are busy all day long, our whole body is tanned by the sun, Brother Jiang lives in the mountains, look, it is much whiter than us!"

When Jiang Sanshiro heard this, he became a little unnatural, after all, he didn't have a mountain or a city, and said with a smile: "I haven't gone out to hunt much this autumn and winter, so I haven't basked much in the sun, so I raised white, which makes everyone laugh!"

Seeing that Jiang Sanshilang was very embarrassed, the branch secretary thought that he didn't need to take out 15,000 yuan to coax everyone to play, and besides, the child should indeed go to school, so he said: "Brother Jiang was a guest when he first came, and he will be a villager in the future." Okay, wait a minute, I'll go and ask the villagers in that group for their opinions, and if it's okay, I'll give the land to my brother, what do you two think?"

The village chief and the clerk nodded repeatedly. The branch secretary thought about it again and said: "In this way, if the villagers have no opinion, as soon as the snow stops, we will arrange to start construction immediately." If you have some ready-made materials, you can also discuss and use them first, and strive to build them before the year. What do you think, brother?" Jiang Sanshiro said "thank you".
