Forehead--
Ah Chen got up, intending to pull his father-in-law along, but to his surprise, his father-in-law just wouldn't come.
Helpless, Ah Chen could only turn his gaze to Ah Mo, who had just finished eating.
Amo smiled but said nothing.
Finally, Uncle Rong spoke up, "Brother, why don't you sit over here? Otherwise, Ah Chen won't feel at ease."
"Enough with the chit-chat, get to the point."
How come Ah Chen never noticed that his father-in-law was a bit stubborn before?
So, Ah Chen got up and got a few packs of good cigarettes. He tore one open and gave one to his father-in-law himself. He left the rest on the table for everyone to help themselves.
Seeing this, an uncle nearby joked:
"Brother Yue, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, Ah Chen wouldn't have brought out so many cigarettes for us to smoke."
"Five yuan a pack, tsk tsk -- Uncle Yue, we're getting a good deal."
Uncle Yue looked up and said in a serious tone, "Don't think I don't know you've had your fill of good cigarettes at Achen's place. Hurry up and get down to business. Don't waste your time because of me."
Everyone laughed.
Uncle Agan took out several large wads of receipts from his canvas bag and gave them to Achen.
"Achen, here are all the income and expenditure figures for Guolin this season. Take a look."
Ah Chen took it.
He finished reading it quickly, looked at the last number, and then looked up at Uncle Agan and said, "I still have more than 42 million left!"
"Ah Chen, please check if there are any mistakes. We've checked everything here."
"No problem, Uncle Agan, your skills are getting better and better. But weren't the money from the two villages already divided? How come there's still five million left in the total account?"
Uncle Adong from Heiwu Village said, "Achen, we all remember what the Holy Maiden said in Quedong Village that day, so we discussed leaving a few million in the general account. We still need money for the cultivation of the next season's fruit and other places."
"Yes, and we also need to move the place where we store the fruit to the foot of the mountain. Building that house will cost money too."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen's gaze fell on Ah Mo.
Ah Chen really didn't expect that the Holy Maiden had already arranged all these things for him in advance.
"Amo, thank you."
Amo glared at Achen, then continued with her work.
Uncle Agan said, "Achen, of the five million left, three and a half million are still yours! According to the proportion, our Black Crow Village kept five hundred thousand, and Que Dong Village kept one million."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Agan took out a stack of sketches depicting stilted houses from the canvas bag in his arms.
"This is the size of the houses that need to be built on the mountaintop. They will be a resting place for us in the orchard and some necessary houses."
Ah Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the hand-drawn picture on the paper, and he immediately asked whose masterpiece it was.
“Achen, this was drawn by your Uncle Yue. He is the most skilled craftsman among the twelve branches of our Miao people.”
No wonder!
Ah Chen knew his father-in-law's skills, but he never expected him to be able to draw sketches. This was truly an eye-opener.
So he immediately said, "Uncle Yue, why don't you take the trouble to leave the house that Guolin needs, as well as the one down the mountain, to you?"
Uncle Yue was taken aback. "So much! That's a huge quantity!"
“My dear in-law, what Ah Chen means is that you should be in charge of this matter. With an old craftsman like you directing, we can rest assured,” Uncle Ah Dong immediately explained.
Ah Chen nodded, and his father-in-law immediately agreed.
However, Ah Chen also reminded everyone: "Although our schedule is tight, please pay more attention to safety while you are busy!"
“Uncle Agan, since we’ve already decided to pay the Miao people who work on the farm from the very beginning of the next fruit harvest, you need to make sure you pay them well and don’t shortchange them.”
"Besides, since the house matter has been handed over to Uncle Yue, he has the final say in this matter, and others should not interfere or affect them."
The uncles all said they wouldn't give any bad advice.
After some discussion, Arong said, "Achen, if we move our fruit loading location to the foot of the mountain on the left next season, do you think we should buy a few small trucks? That would be more convenient."
“Buy what you need, but drivers not only need to have a driver’s license, but also need to be skilled. Don’t be like Brother Zhuang, who spent some money to buy a small license but whose skills are terrible. That won’t do. So Uncle Rong needs to pay attention to this.”
Uncle Arong nodded.
Standing at the back, Ah Zhuang's expression was priceless. He thought to himself, "I didn't say a word, how did you manage to call me out, Ah Chen? You don't even have a little notebook."
Xiao Miao Lang!
Don't touch the saintess yet!
