Gao Jiefang saw Luo Qiao coming in and said, "Luo Qiao, the village cadres have discussed and agreed that the house will cost 500 yuan. Although the house is made of mud inside and stone outside, it is covered with small black tiles. This price is fair. After all, the front and back yards are not small."
Luo Qiao thought about it and said, "Okay, but I don't have that much money on me. Can I pay a deposit of 100 first and bring it back next time I come back?"
Several cadres had no objection. Village chief Li Suozhu said, "It can't take too long. After all, there are several families who want this house now."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I'll come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to make up for it."
She thought that she wanted to send Hei Dou and Taxue back these few days, and now the vegetables in the garden were ripe, so she had to be careful.
Huo Yuhao also discussed with Aunt Luo that as long as the vegetables were picked before five o'clock every morning in the village, he would come and take them away, and he would give the money directly to Luo Qiao. They both just needed to record the data. The two of them left the garden and prepared to go back to the village to find Luo Qiao.
Luo Qiao was walking towards the garden at the foot of Daqing Mountain when he saw several villagers gathered in front of him. When he walked forward, he discovered that someone had fallen.
Seeing that Aunt Gao and Huo Yuhao were also here, Luo Qiao approached and asked, "Aunt Gao, what's going on?"
Aunt Gao said, "Mr. Zhao may not have had enough rest these days. He lost his concentration while walking and fell. Doctor Gao said that his bones and muscles were not injured, but he needs to rest for a while."
Luo Qiao whispered, "I just heard people in the village talking about the Zhao family. What's going on?"
Aunt Gao then told the story. It turned out that the only son of the Zhao family had gone into the mountains with some friends some time ago. As a result, they were unlucky and encountered a wild boar. The son of the Zhao family panicked and fell off the cliff.
When the villagers found her, she was already dead, and the seventh day after her death had not even passed. Someone from Yue's family came and insisted on taking their daughter away, fearing that her daughter would be tied down by the child for the rest of her life.
I heard that they found a new family for him. They work in the border town. His wife died of illness and he had a little girl. Yesterday, the Zhao family's wife's family came to take her away. The old man of the Zhao family was able to come out to work for the sake of his two grandsons.
Aunt Gao said: "Hey, there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was originally spoiled and brought up. She has hardly worked in the fields in the years since she came to the Zhao family. Now that her husband is gone, I'm afraid she has already lost her mind.
Her family was worried that she would suffer, and there happened to be a second-married man with a job who didn't despise her, so they wanted her to get married quickly so that she could have a child while she was still young, so that she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
Luo Qiao sighed and thought, I hope she can live a good life in the future.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Aunt Gao, we will start picking vegetables in the garden at the foot of the mountain from tomorrow. Let the two grandsons of the Zhao family go there. Don't delay their classes in the morning. Let them go at the appointed time. I will give them five dollars each a month.
The same goes for you guys. Add five dollars a month. After all, you have to get up earlier in the morning and the workload is increased. Do you think this is okay?"
Aunt Gao said gratefully, "You really helped the Zhao family a lot. We don't need you to do anything. There's not much work to do on weekdays. Strangely enough, your garden has very few weeds. It's really easy to take care of."
Luo Qiao said, "Aunt, don't refuse. Just tell everyone. If we come to pick vegetables at five o'clock every day, you will have to go to the garden to pick vegetables very early."
Aunt Gao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. You can earn a salary right at home. Everyone is envious of you.
Luo Qiao said: "Our Qingshan Village will be better in the future."
At this time, the village cadres also rushed over after receiving the notice. They were relieved to know that the old man of the Zhao family was fine. If something had happened to the old man, it would have been even worse for this family.
