Chapter 96 Tang Yue has a headache
96
Chang Yin felt a chill in his heart when he saw the look in Tang Yue's eyes as she stared at him. This little girl probably didn't have any good plans.
After handing Tang Yue a few questions, they hurried out. Tang Yue looked at Chang Yin's footsteps and found them funny. However, the solution Chang Yin had given her today also gave her new ideas. It seemed that completely self-study was not a good way.
I should find Chang Yin and teach her more things when I have time.
In the past few days, when Old Li had nothing to do, he mixed mud and dried a lot of bricks. The weather was good, and the bricks were slowly drying. Old Li planned to build the house next door if he didn't work for a few days.
Li Qingyang and Miao Yujiao came to the yard just after breakfast. Lin Cuicui greeted them warmly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, come in quickly."
Mrs. Miao smiled brightly, "Are we here too early? Have you had breakfast?"
"Well, I've eaten. Let's go inside and do it."
"No, no, let's just sit in the yard for a while. Um, where's Yueyue?"
Tang Yue came out of the house when she heard the sound. Li Qingyang and Miao Yujiao were already sitting at the table where they usually ate.
"Aunt Miao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Hey! Yueyue is our great hero now. I can't even reach her. So, your uncle wants to ask you something."
Tang Yue smiled. This Aunt Miao spoke in a very coherent way. She turned her gaze to Li Qingyang.
Li Qingyang scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "Um, Yueyue, yesterday Captain Chang brought some people over to tell us that the army was going to build a factory in our village.
I heard Captain Chang mean to hand over most of the work to our village.
There are so many things going on right now, I don’t know where to start.”
Tang Yue raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Li Qingyang already had his own ideas.
"So what does Uncle Li think?"
"Building a factory in our village is naturally a good thing, and the land has been confirmed with the army.
However, I haven't been able to explain to Captain Chang how much it will cost to build this place, what medicinal materials we will be responsible for processing, how to prepare them, how many workers we will need, and where to sell them. "
Tang Yue nodded, "Uncle Li, to be honest, Captain Chang also told me about this yesterday.
The army wants to boost the production and construction in our village, so they want to hand over most of the initiative to our village.
In this way, Uncle Li, you will have more things to do."
Li Qingyang nodded hurriedly. "Yes. It's about this matter. I don't know how much it will cost, and I want to ask the villagers for their opinions."
"Uncle Li, if the villagers don't want to, then you won't open this herbal medicine factory?"
Li Qingyang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, how can that be possible? We have to open it, but I think if the villagers are unwilling to pay, then the profits of the herbal medicine factory will naturally have little to do with them in the future."
Tang Yue looked at Li Qingyang and he didn't say anything. Li Qingyang continued, "A few days ago, the captains of Daonan Village and Yangjiazhuang also came to see me. They are more informed than our village and knew about this matter in advance. I think the two captains are also very concerned.
If, I mean, the people in our village really don't have much vision, then we have to take this job, if for no other reason than to find a job for everyone in the village in the future."
Tang Yue felt that Li Qingyang was the right person to be the team leader. "Uncle Li, it shouldn't cost much to just build a few factory buildings and a wall.
Besides, everyone is not busy now, so every family can just contribute some labor and do the job.
The initial scale doesn’t need to be too large, and you can expand it later when you really make money.”
Aunt Miao slapped her thigh and said, "Yes! Yueyue is right. What I meant is that we don't need to build it too big at first. This way, we won't have to invest much money in the early stage, and the villagers won't have too many objections.
When we make money in the future, we can build whatever size we want.
Besides, Daonan Village and Yangjiazhuang are not part of our village after all, so they can't completely agree with us no matter what we say. If Daobei Village can do it on its own, will we still be at the bottom of the list among those villages in the future? "
Li Qingyang naturally knew this, but he wanted to build the factory building right from the start to avoid having to deal with it later.
Tang Yue heard that the two of them had already made up their minds, so she didn't say much.
"Uncle Li, do as you wish. If you need help from Captain Chang, we'll let you know."
At noon, Ding Lingzi came to Tang Yue's house carrying a basket. As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted, "Is Cuicui home?"
Lin Cuicui hurried out of the house and said, "Sister-in-law is here, come in and sit down."
Tang Bei was lighting a fire by the stove. Ding Lingzi did not go into the house. She went to the stove with a basket and put the basket on the stove.
"Well, I won't go in. It's lunchtime and we'll have dinner soon. I just steamed some buns, and they're pretty good today, so I'll bring some over for you to try."
"Oh, sister-in-law, life is tough for everyone these days, so please take it back quickly. We steamed some yesterday, and we still have some at home."
"You're being polite to me again, aren't you? I've already brought it here, and you want me to take it back?"
Lin Cuicui didn't know what else to say. Tang Bei had just cut a piece of salted meat, weighing over half a pound, and she quickly took it, picked out the steamed buns from the basket, put the piece of salted meat in it, and handed the basket to Ding Lingzi.
"Sister-in-law, we don't have anything delicious at home. Take this piece of meat and stir-fry it for the children. Rinse it twice more, and I added a little too much salt."
Ding Lingzi felt a little uncomfortable, but she still took it with a smile, then said goodbye and left.
Tang Yue stood at the door and watched without saying a word. Lin Cuicui came over. "What are you doing standing here? Go back inside."
"Mom, what do you think of Aunt Ding?"
"Well, your Aunt Ding is very nice. Children shouldn't ask so many questions about adults."
Tang Yue smiled. It seemed that her mother was not stupid. As for Ding Lingzi, she could just treat her as an ordinary neighbor from now on.
Seeing Tang Yue's expression, Lin Cuicui couldn't help but say, "My daughter, every family has to make a living, and every family has its own little thoughts. Those have nothing to do with us, so let's not get involved."
Tang Yue nodded.
The villagers of Daobei Village, who had just been idle for a few days, have become busy again in the past two days. For no other reason than that their village is about to build a medicinal herb processing factory.
Li Qingyang held a meeting with the villagers. When they first heard that they had to build their own factory and pay for it themselves, some of them were unhappy. Li Qingyang showed them no mercy and directly told them that those who did not want to participate could not participate.
The leaders of Daonan Village and Yangjiazhuang had already stated that the medicinal material processing base would be built in Daobei Village, but it would not necessarily be completed by the people of Daobei Village themselves. Even if they themselves were not happy, outsiders would be happy to come and pick peaches.
The villagers who disagreed were immediately displeased. Why shouldn't they benefit from the medicinal herb factory built in their own village, instead of being taken over by outsiders? How could they feel comfortable? In a fit of anger, they all agreed.
Afterward, Li Qingyang assigned people to work according to the number of people in each household. Some went up the mountain to collect rocks, some mixed mud to make bricks, and some cleaned the gravel ground. Even the elderly and children had work to do all day, keeping them busy.
Every day, villagers from Daonan Village and Yangjiazhuang would come to Daobei Village to see what was going on and watch the excitement, feeling both envious and uneasy. However, since this was the army's decision, they didn't dare to express any opinions.
After five days, the dried earth bricks had been used to build a number of brick walls, and the rocky beach had been neatly cleared. Over the past two days, the villagers have been using carts to bring in fine sand from the river to fill the rocky beach, making the ground smoother.
Tang Yue would go out for a stroll when she had nothing to do. These past few days, she had a headache occasionally, the kind of feeling where her mental strength was draining away.
She looked inside her mind, but found nothing except that her mental energy was completely empty. She was a little confused as to what was going on. Whenever she felt a headache coming on, Tang Yue would go to bed and rest, only to wake up feeling full of energy.
But it won't be long before this happens again.
Today, Tang Yue was walking on the edge of the rocky beach and looking at the messy weeds that the villagers had cleared out. She found that there were several kinds of medicinal herbs in them, and there were quite a few of them. Moreover, these medicinal herbs had good effects.
She had just squatted down and was about to reach out to pick up two plants when the dry feeling in her head returned, even more severe this time. Without a firm grip, Tang Yue fell to the ground.
Enduring the severe pain in her head, she regained consciousness.
