Chapter 134 Contradiction



Now the walls of Cao Gang's house have been built and the roof is being covered. Because there are many people working on it, the house is being built very quickly. If it continues at this speed, it will be finished in half a month.

However, Cao Xiangnan told Cao Gang that he wanted to send some people to build another house. He didn't even explain why. Cao Gang just said, "It's good as long as it can be built." So it didn't matter if the progress was a little slow. He never cared about his house.

Sun Bailian had no objection to this. She smiled and didn't care about it.

So Cao Xiangnan touched his nose, and after explaining and discussing with Master Feng, he left a few veterans here to continue building the house. Once the roof was built, the floor tiles were laid, and the outer wall was built, the work would be completed. After ensuring that the construction of this house would continue, at most at a slower pace, Cao Xiangnan pulled the rest of the people away to build the factory.

Because now all the people in the village who can be used are going to build roads, there is no more manpower now. Later, the crops in the fields will mature, and everyone will have to hurry to harvest the grain in the fields. The road construction will have to be slowed down later, so now we have to repair as much as possible, and it is best to finish it before winter.

After seeing that the tools used to build roads were simple, Cao Xiangnan remembered that the wheelbarrow he used to push when he was a child was just right for pushing dirt. Cao Xiangnan drew a picture of a wheelbarrow and gave it to the craftsman, explaining the wheelbarrow to the craftsman. They quickly made several wheelbarrows for him, and these wheelbarrows were quickly put into use.

After using the wheelbarrow several times and becoming proficient in using it, everyone was amazed at the wheelbarrow and said it was a good thing.

It was already difficult to buy a large piece of land around the village, but there was a lot of wasteland not far from the village that had been reclaimed. This piece of land was close to the main road that his village had built, and the location was good. The price was also half the price of the farmland, so Cao Xiangnan simply bought all of it.

The land buyer asked the same gentleman from last time to measure the land. He gave him some money to make some arrangements. Some things were tacitly understood by everyone. You have to know that he only made these two trips after working in the government for half a year. Anyway, these lands were uncultivated here. Now that someone bought them, he could get some benefits from it. It would be better to sell them as a favor. In the future, such things would also benefit him.

So it was easy to get things done with money. The land was bought quickly. Cao Xiangnan planned to build an industrial park here in the future, but now he built a garment factory here to make a batch of winter clothes.

Every day, he spends money like water. Fortunately, he has made a lot of money in the past period of time. Yipinzhai's business is getting better and better. Nanyang just sent a batch of kimchi and sauerkraut. Yesterday, Manager Liu received another order from Nanyang for a batch of goods. In addition, he has a share of the profits from Yipinzhai and the night snack stall. As long as the business of these two places is good, Cao Xiangnan will not worry about the continuous flow of money in the future. So now he spends a lot of money every day, and he has a bottom line in his heart.

Cao Xiangnan plans to build a food processing factory here. In that time, kimchi and sauerkraut will be made here. In addition, when the peppers are grown, he can also make some other food, so there is no need to worry about wasting the space.

Because building a factory building is different from building a house, the blueprint has to be drawn separately. After discussing the blueprint with Master Feng, the blueprint was finalized. "Then we will build the house according to this blueprint." Cao Xiangnan gave the revised blueprint to Master Feng. After working with Master Feng so many times, the two of them now have a tacit understanding.

Master Feng has been building houses for people since he was a teenager with his father. He has been doing this for half of his life. In the past, they built houses neither fast nor slow. It has never been like this now. The house pushed them to build one place after another.

"Okay, no problem, just leave it to me." Master Feng took the blueprint and said so.

"Of course I trust Master Feng, so I'll leave it to Master Feng." Cao Xiangnan grinned, feeling a sense of accomplishment that he had trained a young foreman into an engineer.

Master Feng always felt bad when Cao smiled at him like that, and he had a long time to experience this bad feeling, but it also established his reputation as Feng Guang.

Since they had decided to build a factory building, they naturally had to build dormitories, which had to be prepared, otherwise when people from other places came to work, they might have nowhere to live, so the dormitories had to be built together, and he discussed all of this with Master Feng. Truckloads of building materials were delivered, and Master Feng led his people to start work after choosing a date.

The people in Caojia Village only knew that Caojia Silang had bought a piece of land and was building a house. Some people were also wondering why he was building another house now since he had just built one. Although they were talking behind his back, no one knew why Caojia Silang was building a new house, but they could not hide their curiosity.

In the midsummer, people working under the scorching sun were sweating profusely, but they could not resist their enthusiasm for work.

Every day, a large pot of mung bean soup and boiling water was placed under the cool tree. Those who were tired could rest under the tree and drink a bowl of sweet soup. The children in the village especially liked to follow their father to work, so that they could have delicious food.

There was also meat for lunch at noon. You should know that some families rarely eat meat all year round, so having meat means very good food.

Everyone was working hard, but there were a few who always sat under the tree, took off their shoes and picked their stinky feet to idly chat. They could get ten big bucks a day. These lazy people were all related to the village chief and the elders. They were too rude in the past. They thought that the money was free, so they would be wasted if they didn't come. They could also have a good meal and drink sugar water while sitting here.

"We do our job, don't worry about them, they will be driven away sooner or later."

Everyone worked hard. The ten big bucks were given by Cao Jia Silang for free. Building roads in the village was originally for the benefit of future generations. Even if they didn't have ten big bucks to have a meal, they should come. So those who came to eat for free and wanted to get paid were naturally disliked by everyone.

This word quickly reached Li Zheng's ears. If it were in the past, Li Zheng would have turned a blind eye to it.

This time, Li Zheng could not bear it any longer. He was furious when he heard it. He personally brought people to look for them. When he saw the few people sitting there idly, he started to curse and drove them away directly, "... Get out! Don't let me see you guys here again. You guys are no longer needed here in the future."

"Bah, if you don't want to come, then don't come. It's just ten dollars, not enough for me to have a meal." Someone spit on the ground and pulled his brother away. It was only ten big dollars, and he didn't even look down on it!

Under everyone's gaze, the few people walked away shamelessly without feeling embarrassed.

Li Zheng saw the look of those people and was so angry that he said to everyone, "It doesn't matter who you are. If I find out who is working and slacking off all day, I don't need to chase you away. Just go home."

The eldest brother of Cao Jia Silang heard the voice, took a look and knew what was going on. He buried his head in the soil with the hoe in his hand and filled the pit. Originally, everyone disliked Cao Fugui because of the incident in Cao's compound, but later, seeing that he worked seriously every day, they gradually accepted him.

After working for half a day, everyone took a break at noon and went to get their meals with their bowls and utensils. There were still a few small pieces of meat in the rice, and there was oil in the dishes. Everyone who ate was very happy. Even if there was meat to eat at home, they only got a little bit of meat, not as much as now. The children who followed their father to work took their meals and ate them beside their father. "Dad, there is meat, a big piece." "Well, eat it." The father even picked up two pieces of meat from his own bowl for the children and buried his head in the food in his bowl.

After lunch at noon, they could find a cool place to take a nap before getting up to work. The children slept soundly beside their father.

The families whose children were driven away complained to the village chief. These families were all related to the village chief within five generations, and one of them was the grandson of the elder. Their children went to work and just sat down to rest for a while because they were tired. You drove them away in front of everyone. How could you disrespect their families?

Cao Jia Silang just made a little money and built a road in the village. What a big deal. Li Zheng's family and Cao Jia Si Lang were close, and now they didn't take them seriously. Especially the village chief, who felt that Li Zheng was suppressing him. Cao Jia Si Lang never went to him for anything, but always went to Li Zheng. He was the head of the village, so he didn't take him seriously.

After listening to the words of several families, the village chief took people to Li Zheng's house angrily.

When the sun went down, Li Zheng came back from outside. The whole family was waiting for him to go home for dinner, so the village chief came over with people.

"...They were just taking a break because they were tired from working. How could you chase them away for such a small matter?" The village chief came over and started talking about what Li Zheng had done today as soon as he entered the yard, saying that he was out of line. "These kids are ignorant. Can't you just talk to them nicely and give them a chance?"

"Cao Ageng, go ask everyone in the village. This is something that everyone has seen. Have they worked hard or do they go there every day just to find a cool place to sit, rest and chat? This has not been going on for just one or two days. They have not worked hard since the first day they went there. Why should I keep people like them there?" Li Zheng had a quarrel with the village chief because of this. Both of them looked unhappy.

The families who followed the village chief all groaned in unison, and even the elders who followed were dissatisfied.

This matter was witnessed by everyone, and who was right and who was wrong could be known by asking, but there were always some shameless people. In short, they felt that Li Zheng had done something wrong, and it shouldn't be like this. The village chief was naturally helping his own people, and Li Zheng was so angry that he couldn't bear it.
