The condition for releasing the people over there was that the food distribution would be halved, which was extremely unfair. It was also because Dongzi had no one who could speak for him over there and had no foothold in the village.
This is also the reason why not many people are willing to marry an only son nowadays. There is no reason for them to step forward and help.
But this is also the reason why Dongzi was able to directly decide to live here.
With Qin Zheng and Yingzi's family here, Dongzi won't be without help when he comes here. It's much better than living in his own village.
Dongzi's house is being built in full swing. Grandma Bai and Qin Zheng have been busy these days, so Tang Wan also follows Grandma Bai to help.
It is also easy to build a house at this time, and it is not the busy farming season, so it is enough to just find people in the village.
Dongzi also got a batch of bricks, enough to build two main houses.
The villagers who came to work were paid seven taels of silver a day, plus two meals.
Money is definitely easy to get.
The food I cook is for Grandma Bai.
Dongzi bought some cornmeal and white flour, as well as some other food, and asked Grandma Bai to prepare it.
Grandma Bai basically cooks rice according to the village's traditional standards, mainly using cornmeal and some common vegetables.
Although it was much worse than the usual cooking by Grandma Bai, it was already very good food for the villagers.
First, Grandma Bai is a good cook. The same dish will taste better when made by her. Second, Grandma Bai is willing to use oil. It is all lard made by Grandma Bai, so any dish she stir-fries will be delicious.
Seven or eight days ago, Grandma Bai added meat to the meals twice, asking Dongzi to go to the town to buy fresh meat.
The amount of meat purchased was not much, only two or three pieces per person, which was considered very generous by the host.
Eating well, Dongzi was more careful when building the house. Moreover, with Qin Zheng to help and keep an eye on it, Dongzi built the house well and quickly.
On the day the house was completed, Dongzi borrowed Tang Wan's three large aluminum lunch boxes.
"How do you know I have three? Did Qin Zheng tell you?" Tang Wan's three large lunch boxes have been placed in the room over here since they were used last time. Dongzi should have seen one when he ate here that time.
Dongzi heard Tang Wan's question and chuckled, "I was with Brother Zheng when he made these three lunch boxes the other day. He left without saying a word and wouldn't let me follow him. I never knew what he wanted these things for. The last time I saw you take one out..."
Dongzi didn't finish what he was saying, but his meaning was very clear.
Tang Wan didn't know about this yet. Thinking back to the day when she saw Qin Zheng at the state-owned restaurant, there were indeed two people beside him.
But Tang Wan didn't pay attention at the time and didn't know that Dongzi was there.
"Were you there at the time?"
"Yes, I have been following Brother Zheng. At that time, I didn't know that you knew Brother Zheng. I only knew that when you came in, Brother Zheng looked at you several times, but you didn't notice." Dongzi was talking to Tang Wan at the door of the main hall. Tang Wan went back to get the lunch box.
Tang Wan was getting her lunch box inside when she heard Qin Zheng's voice before she could reply.
"What are you talking about me?" Qin Zheng just came back from outside.
Dongzi was quite excited just now, but now he panicked when he saw Qin Zheng. "No, no, I didn't say anything to you. I borrowed a lunch box from Tang Zhiqing. I'll go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some food later. We've been working hard for a few days, so let's have a drink tonight. I've already asked Grandma Bai to open a bottle of her good wine."
Dongzi became happy and his voice became louder when he mentioned that the house was completed.
Tang Wan also came out with a lunch box, and Qin Zheng also looked at the lunch box in her arms.
Dongzi quickly reached out to take it, looked around at Qin Zheng and Tang Wan: "Well, I'll go buy it first."
