Chapter 176 The strong support of the people of Qinjia Village!
A few days later, Qinjia Village.
After receiving the letter from Qin Zhizhi, the village head Qin Chuan immediately went to discuss it with his father and second uncle.
The two men's reactions were similar to that of Old Man Qin. One hundred acres of land could not be wasted, so they had to go there in person.
"Dad, Second Uncle, even if you go in person it won't be enough. Zhizhi said in the letter that he hopes to bring more people."
Qin Chuan felt a little worried when he heard that his father and second uncle were going. After all, they were old, and Zhizhi would have to take care of them if they went.
Qin Chuan felt that they were not going there to work, but were clearly going to trouble his niece Zhizhi.
"Chuan, ask everyone if they're willing to go. As many as there are, we'll take care of it. Let's go and turn the land over first, then have Zhizhi choose some people to stay, and the rest can come back later."
"Your second uncle is right. No matter what, we have to finish Zhizhi's work first. Go and make the arrangements quickly. Don't delay Zhizhi's affairs."
"I understand, Dad. I'll arrange it right away."
"We'll go with you and have everyone hold a meeting at the ancestral hall."
The eldest and second uncles went to the ancestral hall to wait for everyone first, and Qin Chuan went home to get the gong to notify everyone.
It was just after the Chinese New Year and everyone was free. When they heard the gong, the men in the family hurried to the ancestral hall.
There are rules in the village. Generally, if it is not a big deal, the village head will not ring the gong.
When Qin Chuan came back after knocking on the door, most of the villagers had arrived.
"Uncle Lizheng, it's just after the New Year, what happened?"
"It must be a good thing. The last time the village head rang the gong, he gave us some money."
"Don't tell me, it's true. I wonder what good news will happen today."
"The village head is looking for us because we can make money. Now that we are out there, which village wouldn't envy us?"
"That's right, Zhizhi is our living god of wealth now. I even discussed with my family today about raising more pigs."
"It's the same in our family. Today we just happened to ask the head of the village if we can raise more."
"You're right. Let's ask today. If we can raise more pigs, why do we have to go out and do hard labor? We can just raise pigs at home."
…
While the villagers were waiting for the head of the village to come back, three of them were gathered together, and two of them were happily discussing something.
Seeing Qin Chuan coming back with the gong, everyone quickly surrounded him and asked questions.
Qin Chuan's head hurt from the noise, so he struck the gong to signal everyone to be quiet.
Everyone shut up immediately, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. I called you here today because I have something to tell you. Please listen carefully."
"I received a letter from Zhizhi this morning. She owns a hundred acres of land outside Beijing, and I'm wondering if anyone wants to go work there."
"She'll arrange someone from our village first. If no one is willing, she'll find someone else."
Before Qin Chuan finished speaking, the people below were in an uproar.
"Li Zheng, of course we are willing to do such a good thing."
"That's right. It's just after the New Year. Where can I find work?"
"That's right. Even if Zhizhi doesn't pay me, I'm willing to help. Last year, I raised pigs with Zhizhi and made a lot of money."
"Village head, my eldest son and I are going. My wife is still working in Zhizhi's workshop. I will go even if you don't pay me."
"If it weren't for Zhizhi's money, my child wouldn't have been able to go to school. I can't forget this kindness. I'm going to be the village head."
"I'm going too. Village head, when are we going to leave? Don't delay Zhizhi's business."
"Yes, we'll be able to dig spring bamboo shoots soon. Let's go and plow Zhizhi's land so we can come back and dig spring bamboo shoots."
"Village head, you should set a time. We just had the New Year and we had a good meal. We have plenty of energy."
…
When they heard that they were going to help Qin Zhizhi, the villagers were very enthusiastic. Last year, everyone had made money following Qin Zhizhi, and everyone was very grateful.
"Anjing, since you all want to go, let's leave for the capital in three days. Those who want to go can sign up with me."
"Someone has to stay at home. The safety of our village has to be guaranteed. Work in the workshop cannot stop. Some people have to stay to dig spring bamboo shoots. The rest of you can come with me."
"Village head, are you going too? What will happen to our village if you leave?"
When everyone heard that the village head was also going, they were afraid that no one would take care of the village affairs.
"I'll arrange for someone. I'm worried if I don't go. Who will take care of you when you get there?"
Qin Chuan was really worried about this group of people, so he had already decided to go with them first and come back after helping Zhizhi make arrangements.
"Village head, we are all working people, why don't you trust us?"
"Hahahaha, the head of the village is afraid that you'll be lazy and not work in the capital."
A group of people were chatting and joking.
"Okay, let's all go home and discuss it. Once we've agreed, come sign up with me. We'll leave in three days. I'll go write a letter to Zhizhi first."
"Village head, there's nothing to discuss. I'll sign up now. My mother and wife will definitely support me."
"I'm signing up now too. I was originally worried about where to find work after the New Year. This is perfect. Farming is our strong point."
"The village head and I are here, so we can set off today."
"I can do that, too."
…
A group of people surrounded Qin Chuan and asked him to sign up, but Qin Chuan had no preparation at all.
"Let's go home and discuss it first. Come to my house tomorrow morning to sign up. I'll register everyone."
Qin Chuan was really afraid that this group of people would deafen his ears, so he asked them to go home and discuss it.
The villagers were very enthusiastic, but Qin Chuan insisted that they go home to discuss it, so everyone had to disperse.
Qin Chuan quickly wrote a letter to Qin Zhizhi so that they would have a place to stay when they arrived.
Early the next morning, Qin Chuan's house was crowded with people who came to register.
Several women even came to ask Qin Zhizhi if she needed them.
Qin Chuan had no idea, so he promised them that he would ask for them this time and take them there next time if necessary.
Qin Chuan spent a day counting the number of people, and then asked Manager Wang to help rent a few carriages.
Three days later, Qin Chuan set off with the villagers. Everyone was very excited along the way.
This was also their first time to go to the capital, and they were accompanied by Qin Zhizhi's uncle and second uncle.
They insisted on going and no one could persuade them. Qin Chuan was worried all the way.
He was afraid that when he got to the capital, his third uncle would see that he had brought his father and second uncle with him and would definitely scold him.
But the two old people didn’t think so. They felt that since they were still able to move, they must help Zhizhi. Even if they couldn’t do anything else, they could farm.
In their hearts, they had the same idea as Old Man Qin: their granddaughter was chosen by her father, so whatever she did was right.
No matter how difficult Qin Zhizhi's task is, they will support her without hesitation.
They knew clearly that Qin Zhizhi was the Qin family's opportunity and the person who could lead the Qin family to prosperity.
But the prerequisite is that the Qin family must have successors, so they all listened to Qin Zhizhi and let the children study.
It is not enough to have only Qin Qingyuan and a few others now. The talents of a real big family cannot be interrupted and must be developed in an all-round way.
