Chapter 152: I can't see the dire situation of others

The arrival of these two people made Chief Niu feel that his face was even brighter.

It was an honor to invite him to stay for dinner, and to invite the most honorable person in the village to accompany him.

He said something insincere, and Li Zheng followed him.

During the meal, there is also a lot of high-minded talk, although it seems to say a lot of important things, but it seems that nothing has been said.

After eating, the foreman got up and said goodbye to go back.

He did have something, he was still working on that end, and he wasn't finished.

You have to calculate how much it will cost here.

Money can't be considered less, and of course it can't be too much, you have to do things according to your conscience.

He's never done this kind of work before, so he has to be more cautious, no matter what, he can't lose money.

Who will do the loss-making business?

Not only did he have to calculate how many bricks he needed, how many kilns he would fire, but he also had to calculate the timber.

In addition to this, the meals to be eaten every day are also counted.

He was afraid that he would miscalculate, so he found a few people to help him calculate together.

He calculated for two or three days before he came up with an accurate number, which would cost at least eighty taels.

He confirmed again and again, thought about it, and really didn't have any other expenses, so he went to quote Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen originally thought that her house would cost about one hundred and twenty taels, but she didn't expect that he would only need eighty taels, which was much cheaper than she imagined.

So, the two made a contract in front of the chief of security.

Mrs. Chen said: "You can choose a day to build, if you finish it ahead of schedule, then I will give you another reward." ”

"Okay." The foreman is also refreshing.

Mrs. Chen paid them some money first, so that they could start work earlier, and the foreman also accelerated the construction period, and after the completion of the project, he came directly to Hehuanyang.

They had to make bricks, burn bricks, and chop wood.

There is also some limestone on the mountain, which can be burned into lime, and when the time comes, it will be plastered on the wall, and the wall will be white.

They can't burn the mud here, the burnt tiles are the mud and scoop with the burning tiles, and they just order some.

You can save some money by firing it yourself, and it would be nice to put in a little more effort.

However, they have limited manpower and are too late.

So, some of them chopping wood, some squeezing bricks, and some digging kilns, but they were busy from morning to night.

Moreover, they built a shed not far behind Mrs. Chen's house, and the workers lived here directly at night, saving time from running back and forth.

They work, they don't have to worry about Mrs. Chen, they still do what they should do.

Although Chen Dashan is in Gufu, the family wants to build a house, and the workers have arrived, so he is excited.

I can't put my mind at ease, so I always want to go home and have a look.

But Mrs. Chen didn't let him ask for leave, for fear that if he took a day off, he wouldn't be able to keep up when he went back.

Besides, it's all wrapped up, and the master doesn't have to take care of it, what is he doing when he comes back?

When the time comes, their house will be built, and there will be no problem with the inspection, just give the money directly.

But despite this, after Chen Dashan came back every day, he would still go to the workers to ask about the situation.

Ask them if they have anything to do?

They were all very touched in their hearts.

Whether they accepted his help or not, they were very touched by this kindness.

They have always been helping others, as if they were inferior, and they have never been respected.

However, Chen Dashan's family not only has a large project, but also gives a lot of money, and people speak well.

Everyone spoke to him enthusiastically.

After Chen Dashan left, they were still saying that the Chen family was good.

Originally, they thought that their family's trade union was very difficult, but when they saw that Mrs. Chen and Dashan were both very good talkers, their hearts were relieved.

They are still in the stage of preparing materials, and they will not be able to officially build them for a while.

Chen Dashan also told them not to worry, safety first.

No matter how anxious you are, you must first ensure your own safety, kiln firing is a very dangerous thing, so they must be careful.

No matter what kind of work you do, you must do it under the premise of ensuring good health.

The more he said this, the harder they worked.

Although Mrs. Chen said that she didn't care about them, she knew that they were all working hard, very hard and serious, but the food was not good.

Wild vegetables are like boiled in plain water, without a trace of oil and water.

With such a heavy job, how can you eat this kind of dish?

She couldn't help it, and asked Wang Jiabao to send ten catties of pork every day.

Wang Jiabao heard that she wanted ten catties of pork every day, so how could she not be willing?

Therefore, before going out of the stall every day, he first brought the meat over.

Mrs. Chen directly brought the meat to the worker's husband.

The workers have a special manager.

However, this steward also needs to work.

It's just that after he finishes his work, everyone else can sit there and rest, but he has to cook for everyone.

Although he has more money, he is tired.

One man did the work of two people.

But despite this, the workers were quite envious of him, because he had this opportunity because he had curry favor with the foreman.

For people like them, labor is the least valuable.

Mrs. Chen came early, and everyone hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

When the guy saw her coming with meat, he didn't dare to ask for it because of his kindness and honesty.

They are contracted labor and materials, and they have to count what they eat on their own heads, where do they dare to ask for the owner's things?

However, Mrs. Chen insisted on giving it, saying: "You can take it and eat, everyone is raised by their parents, no one is more noble than others, and no one is lower than others."

If my children are outside the home, I naturally want others to treat my children well.

Isn't that a truth? Take it and fry it, eat it, these are what I gave you, and I won't count them into your money. ”

He still didn't dare to ask for it.

"This is our intention to be the master's family, as long as you work hard, and build a better house when you build a house, then don't you have everything?"

The man was moved to tears.

I was so impressed.

Even in their own homes, they are reluctant to eat meat.

If there are no guests at home during the New Year's holidays, who is willing to buy meat to eat?

The master actually took more than ten catties of meat as soon as he made a move, can he not be moved, can he not be happy?

Other workers, look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect the master to really give it.

Knowing that there was meat to eat at noon, they worked more energetically.

At noon, Mrs. Chen went over to take a look, and saw that the husband had stewed all the meat, so she was relieved.

However, when I saw the food they ate, my heart was not a good taste.

What's that?

The rice was not good rice, it should have been covered rice, it smelled musty, and it was mixed with wild vegetables.

This wild vegetable has thorns on its body, so you have to beat it with a mallet to remove the thorns, and chop the remaining tendons and mix them in rice to cook together.

This kind of tendon cannot be digested, what shape goes into the stomach, what shape pulls out.

But it carries hunger.

People are like that, it's weird.

If you have endured hardships yourself, you will not be able to see others endure hardships.

If you have been hungry, you will not see others starving.

I've probably experienced it, so I know what it's like.

Therefore, many people are not happy with their own lives, but they still can't see the misery of others.
