Chapter 433 Everything is going smoothly
With the help of Ding Erzhu and his wife, old lady Zhou, and the village head and his wife, everything went smoothly.
If it were only Ding Erzhu and Zhou, Zhang Lizheng and his wife who bullied honest people like them, they might have condoned some people and things openly or secretly. However, Old Madam Zhou was too shrewd and capable, and she was older than them. If she took advantage of her seniority and said something, it would not sound good even if she was in the right.
Zhang Lizheng and his wife are sensible people who know what is best for themselves. Since they can't do anything small to curry favor with the villagers and win their hearts, it is better to do their job well and get more benefits.
So everything went smoothly.
When Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan arrived, there were still about three days left for all the land to be tidied up.
Shao Yunduan had to express his courtesy and gratitude to Zhang Lizheng, and said with a smile: "The villagers are really reliable. When we plant tea trees next year, we will have to ask Lizheng to help find people. I'm afraid weeding, pruning, and tea picking will all be necessary in the future."
Zhang Lizheng's eyes lit up, and he agreed with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Shao, don't worry. From now on, if there is any work, just give it to us villagers. We will make sure it is done properly! You will definitely be satisfied!"
Zhang Lizheng couldn't help but feel lucky that there was no unpleasantness during this land reclamation, otherwise this long-term job would not have been done by anyone from his village.
You know, because of this job, almost every household in the village has earned some money. Not to mention other things, they can buy two more pieces of cloth to make clothes, make two more quilts for the winter, buy some melon seeds and peanuts as snacks during the New Year, and buy a few more pounds of meat. These are all real benefits!
Shao Yunduan nodded and smiled.
Just tell this to Zhang Lizheng, and he will naturally tell the people in Zhangjia Village.
In order to be able to work for a long time in the future, they naturally know how to do their work.
After Zhang Lizheng left, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan talked to Ding Erzhu and Zhou about building a house and yard.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had already prepared the blueprints to build a two-entry courtyard, plus two side courtyards, one large and one small.
A row of back houses and side rooms were built in the small side yard to be used as warehouses for storing various farm tools and grain.
The large side yard is a tea processing workshop and tea storage warehouse. The pomelo fruit can also be processed here. The house will inevitably be built more exquisitely.
Qiao Xuan also decided that when the house is built, she would buy two good dogs for Ding Erzhu and others to raise, so that they can help with patrols on weekdays.
The two courtyards are used for living, and three rooms in the front yard are allocated for Ding Erzhu's family to live temporarily.
There is a vegetable garden outside the yard, a small patch of fruit trees are planted behind the garden, and a fish pond of more than two acres is dug in the depression next to the vegetable garden, where fish, lotus roots and water chestnuts can be raised in the future.
You can also raise a few ducks and geese.
We can raise more chickens in the orchard.
I can come and stay for a few days from time to time in the future.
After the house is built, the existing craftsmen will come here to build it, and it will be completed before the New Year and we can move in.
Ding Erzhu and his friends no longer have to worry about the wooden house being drafty and not keeping warm.
Since she had to keep an eye on the construction team, the old lady of the Zhou family simply decided not to go back and continue to live here with her grandchildren to help keep an eye on them.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were just dreaming.
Mrs. Zhou is smart and capable. While keeping an eye on things, she also teaches Zhou and the others, so that Zhou will be able to take charge of things to some extent in the future.
