There's a Space Man in the Village [Rebirth]

Chapter 91

Due to the fact that relatives are greedy for money, the Zheng family's proposal this time was not as pleasant as expected.

Even Zheng Tianjun, the protagonist, pursed his lips all night while eating, and remained silent from beginning to end, not at all like a happy man who wanted to marry a wife.

It's not that he is stingy, but that He Jia's silent blackmail behavior is really uncomfortable.

If you feel that the bride price is not enough, just say it outright.

Originally, this time he married himself more than his younger brother, and Zheng Tianjun felt a little guilty.

After all, marriage is a matter of the daughter-in-law's face. If it is rumored that his daughter-in-law's dowry is more than his younger sister's, the younger sister-in-law's family will definitely be unhappy, and the women in the village will compare this.

But the He family was stunned and did not let go, and finally the younger brother voluntarily gave in and used most of the family's money to complete his marriage.

Who knew that He Jialai made such a move and temporarily cheated them out with hundreds of pennies. Everyone would have an idea.

But anyway, the marriage was finally settled.

After the appointment was completed, Geng Tie was exchanged, the auspicious day was set, and he stayed in Hezhuang for one night. The next day, Huo Chengyi and others set off to rush back.

Because the He family girl has, the wedding cannot be delayed, and they have to rush back to prepare.

It's not about Huo Chengyi's business when the Zheng family prepares to get married. When he went back, he briefly told the curious Xiaobai about the marriage proposal, and he focused his attention on the clay-fired bricks.

The soybean factory is on the right track. With the help of Uncle Huo and Dashan Huo, it seems that there is no big problem.

However, the bricks built on the staff dormitory have been used up. Originally, he planned to buy some more blue bricks, but now he doesn't need them anymore. It would be more cost-effective to spend money to buy blue bricks than to burn them himself.

If burning bricks can be implemented, his original construction plan can be changed.

In addition to the staff dormitory, he plans to build another part of the family housing. Like modern units, he will sell it to the workers below at a low price according to the employee's grade and length of service.

Don't the villagers want to build a good house to live in after working hard all their lives? This temptation is enough to make everyone work more faithfully and hard.

Xiaobai didn't really understand it, but he also felt that this was pretty good.

If he works for the boss, he will work hard even if the boss gives more wages or stuff.

"Then Big Brother Huo, who are we looking for to do this work? This is a craft, and you can't just find someone."

Xiaobai didn't know what a technical patent was, but he knew that the skill of burning bricks could not be passed on to outsiders. own people.

But the problem is that they have no one available now. The copycat brothers brought back from the border are basically arranged in the soybean factory. Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou also brought a small number to help Father Zhou make porcelain kilns.

Needless to say, on the mountain side, building a house requires a lot of labor, and there is simply no manpower available.

In this regard, Huo Chengyi also has a headache. Whoever asks him to come up with something is a unique technology, and there is no patent right in ancient times. If others learn his technology and leave him, they can't do anything about it.

So just think of another way.

"There are not many people who can use it, so I plan to recruit people in the village to help repair the house, and select some reliable people from the mountain people to be our long-term workers..."

In fact, the safest way is to buy slaves. Slaves are allowed to buy and sell here, and slaves will never dare to betray their masters if they have a deed of sale.

But it is a pity that he needs too much labor. It is impossible for ordinary people like him to have a large number of slaves, and the government has restrictions.

The only way now is to see if we can convince some mountain people to be long-term workers in his family. The mountain people are rejected and out of harmony, and they are the most secure employees at present.

In fact, they are so troublesome because their career development time is still short, and they have not cultivated usable people.

As long as time is given, Huo Chengyi is confident to get a group of loyal people to use.

But now there are only mountain people to choose.

"Well, let's go to Uncle Bu tomorrow, Brother Huo, this time I can go out with you, it's not far from the village..."

Xiaobai nodded in agreement, and then prayed pitifully.

He was locked up at home for many days. The people in the family were so nervous about him that they were suffocating him to death. Abu didn't know what he was doing these days, so he didn't come to play with him, and he couldn't chat with other people in the village. Go together.

"Okay."

With such a pitiful daughter-in-law's expression, Huo Chengyi had no reason to see it, smiled and nodded, before pulling the quilt and hugging him to sleep and rest.

...

After discussing the plan of burning bricks with Xiaobai, the next morning, the two went to the place where the mountain people lived together.

Although the house was in a hurry to build, Huo Chengyi still gave everyone a day off every week in a very humane way. People are not machines, so there must be a chance to breathe.

Today is a rest day, the mountain people can't go to the town, and they don't communicate with the villagers, so they basically chat and bask in the sun in the yard.

The life of the mountain people is simpler than that of the villagers. Because of their limited situation, what they think about every day is how to live in the next day and how to live comfortably.

This year has been the happiest winter everyone has ever had.

Although building a house is tiring, as long as they work, they can eat enough and have a warm and safe house to live in.

You don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals at any time, worrying about being frozen to death and unable to wake up after falling asleep.

The children do not have to hide in the caves tremblingly like in previous years, they can happily wear warm cotton coats and laugh and play in the open space.

The employer who asked them to work is also a good person, and there are still a few days a month to rest with their wages.

"If only it could be like this all the time..."

Every time the mountain people gathered in the yard on a rest day, they would always sigh such a sentence. Compared with the past, today's life is really happy like a fairy.

But they also know that after the house is built, they will have to go back to the mountains to continue to endure hardship. Unless they can have a household registration, they can enjoy the protection of the court and walk outside with integrity.

But the problem is that they all have various black spots and are forced to live in the mountains, and it is impossible to get a household registration.

Seeing that more than half of the house has been repaired, the mountain people are not happy, but worried.

As the foreman leading everyone to work, Bu Jianlin was just as worried as everyone else, and he was even more worried.

Recently, his little brother didn't know what was going on. Before, he was jumping around happily and had nothing to do. He went out to chat with Brother Bai, and he was heartless.

Now it's like a frosted eggplant. I'm depressed all day long, I don't talk, I don't laugh, I even eat less, and I make mistakes all the time.

In the past two mornings, my eyes were still red and swollen, and it seemed that I had cried in the bed at night.

But when I went to ask, I couldn't ask anything. When I asked his little brother, he lowered his head and didn't speak, and his tears flowed down, which made the family worried.

Bu Jianlin was worried.

His mother-in-law and eldest son also stared at the same big eyes, and they didn't know what to do with the family's beloved little ancestor.

When Huo Chengyi arrived with Xiaobai, all he saw was the three members of the Bu family sighing and staring in the house.

As a good boss, Bu Jianlin is also a construction foreman that he can't live without. Seeing that his employees are not in good spirits, he is still very concerned, and he hurries up to ask.

"Uncle Bu, you are frowning and sighing, is there something at home?"

Huo Chengyi doesn't like to meddle in business either, but the poor mental state of the employees will directly affect the progress of work, so he can't help worrying about it.

"It's okay, my boss, why are you here today? If you have something to do, call me over here, we are in a mess..."

But when Bu Jianlin and the others saw him, they were in a better mood, and they got up from the stool and smiled. welcome.

The other mountain residents in the yard also gathered around, with excited expressions shouting 'the owner' to say hello, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"I'm here today to discuss something with everyone."

Huo Chengyi didn't like to be in the limelight, but he was still very happy when everyone welcomed him warmly, and nodded to the enthusiastic mountain people with a smile.

Xiaobai also came up with a bright smile, "Uncle Bu, I'm here to find Abu, where is Abu?"

Although they are both married and pregnant with a child, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was the time when the young man was lively and he finally came out to get some air. Xiaobai just wanted to talk to his good friend, because Abu didn't come here recently. he is.

Huo Chengyi also knew that his little husband was bored recently, and smiled at Bu Jianlin.

"Yeah, Uncle Bu, what about Abu? Why haven't I seen it recently? My little Bai can't go out for the past two months, and I'm bored at home..."

As his husband's only friend of the same age, Abu also met him. , just like his Xiaobai, he is also a very cute and simple boy.

In the past, I used to come to their house to play, and I could laugh with his little white in the yard, but I didn't seem to see it recently.

"In the house, I don't know what's wrong with this kid recently, and his face is full of worries. Xiaobai, you came by coincidence, go and ask your uncle in the house, this little ancestor, there is nothing we can do..."

When he mentioned his little brother, Bu Jianlin was sad again and sighed.

The two little brothers have been playing since childhood, and their family can't ask anything, so they can only let Brother Bai try it, maybe they can enlighten them.

Otherwise, Abu's going on like this will almost lose weight.

Xiaobai is Abu's good friend. As soon as he hears that someone is wrong recently, he becomes interested, nodded, and ran into the house to find someone.

Huo Chengyi is an outsider who doesn't want to enter other people's inner rooms, so he can only stay outside.

He simply had something to discuss with Bu Jianlin here, so he didn't interfere with the two little brothers whispering alone.

"Uncle Bu, don't be polite. Help me say hello to everyone. I'm here today to discuss something with everyone..."

Huo Chengyi was also familiar with himself and took a small bench and sat down to talk about things.

The tone of the action is not the slightest bit of the owner's air, and it is taking the line of people-friendly.
