"Brother, don't be sad. Although this is fate, it can be changed. It's like if you come out to get a job, if you work every day, for a year or two years, won't you be able to marry an aunt? Long Hao patted Li Wenhu on the shoulder.

"That's right. However, how can you do it for a year? Except for those workers, who are paid all year round. We croppers come out to do some work during the busy farming season, and we don't have any work in winter. ”

"Okay, don't say anything, there's a lot of work right away, I guess I won't be able to finish it all winter, so you can work hard! Again, smoke less dry tobacco, and don't smoke paper cigarettes. Take the time to go to Kushui Town, pack up, buy decent clothes, and go to the big city in the future. By the way, I'll pay for the money, don't worry. ”

"Brother Hao, that's not good, how can I make you pay for it?"

"It's okay, it's gone, and you still care about this little money? Today happens to be the set, take my car, let's go now. In the afternoon, you can make your own food, and I will ...... with a few big brothers You just said brother, right? Go down to the restaurant with a few brothers and improve it......" Dongzi walked out and dragged Li Wenhu and a few people away.

"Cut, what's the improvement? Do you think the restaurant has something delicious at home? Sun Zhiming also walked out.

"Then I have to go down, not what to eat, but this momentum...... Forget it, don't play the piano to the cow, go! Dongzi and the others went out of the courtyard.

"Hey, wait, let's go to the market too." Gao Chenghu and a few people rushed out of the house.

"Hey, there are too many people to sit down."

"Squeeze, it'll be ...... in a while"

"Zhiming, Cheng Bin, and Brother Qingyang, let's discuss something." Hearing that the small bread on it drove away, Long Hao took a wooden pier and sat in the courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Sun Zhiming and the others also moved over the wooden pier and sat in front of Long Hao.

"Today I went to our village school, it was shabby. The principal was transferred, and several other teachers didn't want to stay, no one wanted to be responsible, and now it's your sister-in-law who is in charge. Long Hao lit a cigarette.

"Huh? Sister-in-law is in charge? She's just a substitute teacher! Sun Zhiming's eyes widened.

Even she didn't think of it, and she didn't want to be responsible. But there is no way, if she is irresponsible, then no one will take care of it, and the school will have to close if she can't make it. ”

"It's simply ...... By the way, isn't it just time to donate money? “

"Yes, I donated, so I asked you and Brother Qingyang to talk about it. Your sister-in-law teaches and does some literary research, but she hasn't taken any responsibility, and she hasn't spent so much money, and she doesn't even know how to spend it. I didn't tell her how much, lest some people blush. ”

"Well, I really can't tell. Now there are too many people who are red-eyed, and when they see that the school has a little money, they immediately compete to be the principal, and it is not good that there are people in the school district and the township school who want to go down, after all, there is money! Zhang Qingyang took a puff of his cigarette.

"So we have to handle this matter, except for making requests, Xiaoyi basically doesn't interfere, let alone touch the funds, so no one will say anything. Zhiming, during this time, you are in charge of school affairs, mainly pulling charcoal, replacing glass, etc., and some doors and windows are really dilapidated and have to be replaced. Then there are student desks and teachers' desks and chairs, all replaced, and if the county can't buy them, go to the north of the town. There are also student accommodation and stoves, as well as chimneys, stoves, etc., let your sister-in-law explain specifically. It is also necessary to build cisterns and pull water for schools. ”

"So much? Is the money enough? Sun Zhiming touched his head.

"Whether it's enough or not, these things must be done, none of them can be left behind, and if it's really not enough, we have to fill it in."

"If only Brother Ning could give 100,000 yuan, I can do everything." He Chengbin leaned on Zhang Qingyang.

"It's good if people can take 50,000 yuan, and it's too much." Long Hao patted He Chengbin.

"What if you really brought it?"

"If you really bring it, it means that the kid does still have some conscience, then you can't ask for it. People talk about righteousness, and what they say counts, so we can't be too greedy. That's not three hundred and five hundred, not thirty and fifty thousand, but a full hundred thousand, who can come up with so much money at once? Isn't this forcing people down the path of evil, even to the point of despair? ”

"That's just as well. Hey, what can I do? ”

"Sitting here, you're going to do it. Didn't you ask your cousin to build a cistern last time? I think the quality is very good, and the work is meticulous. Let's go and find it, let the Longjiayuan School also repair one, and I will draw the specific location and size data at night. Give him the live bag directly, we don't care about anything else, and the final acceptance is it. ”

"Okay, I'll talk about it in a moment."

"Brother Qingyang, you are responsible for pulling charcoal for us, and we need all coal. Don't use too big a car, don't crush the road that has just been built, it is best to use an agricultural vehicle, and you can pull two or three tons at a time. The initial plan is to pull twenty-five tons, and it doesn't matter if it's a little more or a little less. Forget about your van, you will soon have to collect a batch of mutton and clear oil, as well as small grains. ”

"Okay, the last time I sent sheep to the county seat, they were all good brothers, so let them pull it." Zhang Qingyang nodded.

"Zhiming, look at the approximate amount of money, prepare early, Cheng Bin is the same, you can't be in arrears. After Cheng Bin and Brother Qingyang settled things, they continued to collect sheep and clear oil from me, and you had to do other things in the school. Loading and unloading, Teng Cave and other work for Wen Hu and them to do, it is really not enough to hire a few more people. The weather is getting colder and colder, and all this work must be done by mid-October. When the time comes, I will look at them one by one, and if there are unqualified ones, or what are missing, I will quickly repair them. Long Hao looked at Sun Zhiming.

"As long as you have money, you have to get things done even if you don't sleep. As for the quality, you can rest assured, if your son wants to study in the future, he must do a good job, and he can't be sloppy at all. Sun Zhiming patted his chest.

"Cut, Brother Zhiming, let's find an aunt first, return the son, do you want to be embarrassed?" He Chengbin quipped.

"You kid, curse me, don't you? See if I don't ......" Sun Zhiming turned over and got up, rolling around the courtyard with He Chengbin.

Sun Zhiming took Li Wenhu and a few people to be busy with the school's affairs, and Long Hao also took Dongzi and others to continue to buy sheep, clear oil and small grains.

The county does not ask for much, mainly for the northern provinces and provincial capitals, and the number is slightly more than last time.

The meat soft oil sent during the Mid-Autumn Festival received a particularly good response, and the velvet factory increased a lot of orders. The northern province also increased some, but the number was not large, and Long Hao agreed to all of them.

This time, Long Hao didn't dare to swallow it alone, and took the initiative to find Zhai Shuyi and divided half of it. There is no way, the rest of the matter has to rely on the support of others, and it must be curried with as soon as possible. Moreover, we must have a good relationship with the villages, and in the future, when we become bigger, many resources need to be provided by the villages.

With the experience of the previous few times, coupled with the strict control of Xu You and Sun Gui, two soil experts, the purchase of sheep and clear oil was quite smooth.

The two teams with afforestation tasks only collected the oil, not the sheep. The families who promised afforestation and captivity, all the ones that could be slaughtered were released, and there were no more sheep to sell, only the clear oil in exchange, and then the small grains.

The price of clear oil is still the same as last time, and the price of small grains is much higher than the market.

There are also some people who have sheep, such as the long-haired young man, Xu Desheng's family, etc., and there are quite a few of them. Long Hao doesn't take any of them, no matter how much money they have, let them produce and sell themselves, and fend for themselves.

Not only sheep, but also clear oil and small grains. No matter what happens, I don't have that obligation anyway, and no one can say anything.

In this way, the contradictions between the two sides have become more acute. But Long Hao was uncompromising, there was no room for negotiation, unless he agreed to afforestation and captivity, he had to apologize to himself and sign a letter of commitment.

If the heart is too soft, you may be able to live, but you can't do it. If you want to do things, you must be hard-hearted, do not talk about any feelings, especially not bow to evil, this is the bottom line, you must insist!

Mainly collect sheep from other teams. Those who promise to manage the old forest or afforestation are still at the last price, and the purchase is preferred, and the contract is signed. In the contract, it is stipulated that afforestation and captivity must be cultivated, and there is a commitment to give priority to everything in the future.

The price of other houses is different, only about three percent higher than the price of the day in Kushui Town. This is the difference between afforestation and non-afforestation, and the difference between captivity and non-captivity. Of course, this is just the beginning, and the difference will become more and more obvious in the future, but for another time.

According to Xu Zhishu's meaning, it is the same as the market price. Long Hao calculated, it was still a little higher, just about seven percent of the price difference, and his own road expenses were basically out.

The same goes for clear oil and small grains, both prices. There are a few people in each team who jumped out to obstruct it, and even threatened others not to let them sell, just like Xu Desheng and others, they resolutely refused to accept it.

Those guys who dared to threaten others, after Long Hao's operation, came to be forced to defend themselves, and the outcome can be imagined. Although there are a lot of people in that gang, they are not evenly matched, and they are not at the same level as a group of wolf-like veterans.
