"Uncle Wang, do you have any channels to buy bricks, tiles, glass and other things?"
"Yes, but..."
"Uncle Wang, if you have a channel, that would be great."
Song Fuyu interrupted him in time before he could say the next word.
"Look at me. I've only been in Shanhe Village for two days. I'm unfamiliar with the place and don't know anyone."
"If you know someone, then I can rest assured. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the brick factory and ask people. Who knows, they might think I'm young and quote me a high price. If I get ripped off, I won't have any way to complain."
"But with you here, it's completely different. Uncle Wang, you are the leader of our Shanhe Village after all. People will definitely give you some face."
Of course the captain has channels, there is no doubt about that, after all, their own house is built of bricks and tiles.
"If you're relieved, I'll help you make the contact."
"Don't worry! Don't worry!"
"With you here, I have nothing to worry about."
The expression on her face when she spoke to Wang Zhiyong was extremely sincere.
In fact, most of the words are not false.
Her godfather must have checked the place where she went to the countryside, and the comrades from the Youth League Office would not arrange a place for her casually because of his identity as the director of the steel plant.
Moreover, the comrade who brought them here and the ladies they met at the village entrance yesterday did not have a bad word to say when talking about the team leader Wang Zhiyong, proving that he is a good person.
"Uncle Wang, please wait a moment. I'll go get something."
After saying that, he quickly ran back to the Youth League Home.
He returned to the room, took out three hundred yuan from the space and put it in his pocket.
In the morning, before going to work, Tong Youyou had already handed her the remaining 150 yuan.
The little girl is really open-minded, whatever she says is what it means.
Fortunately, there was no need to cheat her. Anyway, she would get more back and less back. She gave a lot of money, so in the end she should be able to get thirty or forty yuan back.
If it were in the hands of someone with bad intentions, it wouldn't take long before everything would be lost.
She took the money and ran back to Wang Zhiyong.
"Uncle Wang, here are three hundred yuan, take it."
Wang Zhiyong took a step back and made a gesture of rejection with his hands.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, this is not a bribe for you."
"After you contact the brick factory, use your experience to estimate the number of bricks needed to build the house and then make the decision directly."
"Also, the villagers we found to build the house all looked up to you for your sake. When we settle the wages for the uncles, we'll have to trouble you to help us pay them."
"I don't know anything. I have to rely on you to check this."
Wang Zhiyong chuckled helplessly.
After hearing her words, he finally understood. This girl just wanted to be a hands-off boss, not taking care of anything herself, leaving everything to him.
Fortunately, this little girl is quite sensible. Since she trusts him to manage the house, let him help. After all, the house will eventually belong to their Shanhe Village.
"Okay, I'll take the money. When the time comes, I'll return every penny I have left to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
She bowed to Wang Zhiyong.
"Uncle Wang, I'll be leaving first. It's time for them to come back."
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
Wang Zhiyong waved his hand and told her to leave quickly.
He had been given a new job for no reason, and now he just wanted Song Fuyu to get out of his sight as soon as possible.
When we returned to the Youth League Home, Tong Youyou and the others had already returned from work.
"Sister Fu Yu, you are finally back. I feel like I am dying of exhaustion. My hands and waist are so sore."
"I worked all day and barely earned four work points."
"The scorekeeper said that he relaxed the rules a bit because it was my first day, otherwise I would have only been given three work points at most."
"The aunts said that girls had to earn at least six or seven work points a day to barely have enough to eat, otherwise they would have no food left during the winter."
When Tong Youyou saw Song Fuyu, she felt like she had found her backbone and started to attack her with a violent attack.
Her lips are so pouty that you can hang an oil bottle on them.
"It's okay. I'm not familiar with the work on the first day. After a while, when I become proficient, I should be able to earn more work points."
"Oh, I'm already so exhausted on this first day. I don't dare to think about what the days ahead will be like."
"Stop talking so much and drink some water."
Tong Youyou took a big sip of water and immediately felt refreshed all over, as if all the fatigue from a whole day's work had almost disappeared.
"Sister Fu Yu, the water you made is so delicious. Did you add sugar? It tastes cool."
"It doesn't have sugar in it, but it has mint leaves in it. Drinking it when you're tired is quite refreshing."
She used to keep a pot of mint leaves on the desk in her office, and drinking from it became a habit.
"If you like, I'll give you two pieces tomorrow."
"It's great. I feel really good after drinking it."
"Tsk, they are just two broken leaves, but you praise them as if they were made of sugar. What a virtue!"
Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou smiled at each other and ignored her.
The more you pay attention to her, the more excited she becomes.
Typical of sour grapes.
Mo Juan and Ye Feixue were not much better than Tong Youyou at this time, and their condition might even be worse than hers. At least she had Song Fuyu to pour water for her, while they could only endure their thirst and wait for the water to boil.
I am afraid of getting diarrhea after drinking raw water. Not only will I have to spend money on medicine, but I will also suffer.
Both of them only had one water bottle, and by the time they went to work, the water in the bottle had already been finished.
When Ye Feixue was working, Xiao Jun would help her from time to time.
But Mo Juan could only work hard by herself, and the work points she earned at the end of the day were not as many as Tong Youyou's. She only earned three work points.
Looking at Tong Youyou's bright smile, she was actually a little envious now.
If she had known earlier, she would not have picked a fight with Song Fuyu. Maybe now he would have poured her a glass of mint water.
Besides, Song Fuyu's family prepared so many delicious foods for her, and since they were on good terms with her, she should be able to let some of them slip out.
Song Fuyu didn't know what Mo Juan was thinking, but when she noticed that she was staring at her, she turned her head and gave her a blank look without saying anything.
She whispered in Tong Youyou's ear and told her that they were about to start building the house.
Tong Youyou was as happy as a cat stealing fish. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from laughing.
Afraid that she could not control herself, she pulled Song Fuyu out of the room.
Their happiness not only hurt Mo Juan, but also hurt Ye Feixue who was beside her and was in pain all over.
Why should they do such tiring work of weeding when the task assigned to Song Fuyu by the team leader is so easy?
Ye Feixue's mind turned, and she complained softly in a voice that only she and Mo Juan could hear: "Hey, why do other people get more work points for cutting pig grass than us?"
When registering work points, she accidentally noticed that there was a "4" written behind Song Fuyu's name, while hers and Mo Juan's were both "3".
"What? Song Fuyu's work points are higher than ours?"
“Why?”
"No! I have to find the captain to argue with him tomorrow!"
Ye Feixue looked at Mo Juan's angry expression, turned his head, and sneered contemptuously.
