Song Che looked at her quietly. She was right. Regardless of whether the tea spirit's punishment was true or not, if the tea mountain really collapsed, he would never be able to accept the death of his parents.
He placed the wooden box on the kitchen table. "I'll find a new place to live. Please accept this gift."
"The sooner the better, no later than May. If you encounter continuous heavy rain, you must be careful."
These people are all very shrewd. Chen Tan only dared to say this much, for fear that they would see something.
However, Qin Li's eyes flashed and he thought of that dream.
That terrible disaster happened after a heavy rain. Could it be that she really met an old beggar with magical powers?
Or did she also have such a dream, and gave a kind reminder in order to save Song Che and the others?
Regardless of the reason, her little girl was very kind-hearted and would rather be scolded by Fang Desheng and Song Che than persuade them to move the people in the tea mountain.
She really wanted to save them.
After Song Che and his family find a new place to live, he will take her to see it for them.
He believed that they must like her.
The three of them left with the tea bran soap they had made the previous year and all the frostbite cream, and also took two jars of tea bran cream they had made last year.
Chen Tan opened the wooden box given by Song Che, and inside was an emerald green bracelet, shiny and very eye-catching.
Qin Qiuniang smiled, "Song Che is being generous this time. Tan Nier, you should keep it well. This bracelet is very expensive."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Imperial green is indeed a good thing.
The sandalwood was brought into the house and stored in the space.
When Qin Li came back, it was the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, and he had returned to his unshaven look.
He washed up, changed into his best clothes, gave Chen Tan a bag of money, kissed her hard, and left with a big black bag on his back.
Chen Tan opened the oil-paper package of money and counted it. There were more than 1,300 yuan and a handful of bills.
She put all the money and bills into the space, went into Qin Li's bedroom, took out the books from the space, and began to prepare for the college entrance examination.
At the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader Liu Kaishan called all the men and women in the brigade to bring shovels and hoes and started repairing the road from the third day of the junior high school.
Liu Kaishan worked honestly and did not allow his members to be lazy. He brought a scorekeeper to watch the work from beginning to end, and if he found anyone being lazy, he would deduct work points.
Work points are food, so basically no one dares to cheat.
"Captain, why do you let me do this work?"
Ge Erdan was called in, and after working for a while, he didn't want to do it anymore. He came to Liu Kaishan and complained, "I'm in charge of the breeding, I don't want to work."
"From this year on, you'll be working in the fields with everyone else, not raising livestock," Liu Kaishan said. He continued walking forward, and when he saw someone slacking off, he yelled at them, "Who told you to stop? Dig faster!"
The man was so scared that he quickly stood up from the ground and dug the soil desperately.
Ge Erdan followed Liu Kaishan, furious. "Captain, please explain clearly what you mean. Why don't you let me do the breeding?"
Liu Kaishan didn't give him a good look either. "It's not interesting. You haven't been able to take care of the animals every year, and the brigade has lost so much money. We don't want you to take care of them this year. Vacant your place tonight and move back to your hometown. Don't live in the brigade anymore."
"What do you mean I can't raise them well? If the pigs get sick and the chickens get plague, you can't blame me?" Ge Erdan was unconvinced. "Who are you going to hire to raise them this year? I want to see how much better they are than me."
"It's none of your business who we look for. If you keep talking nonsense here, you won't get any work points today." Liu Kaishan glared at him in annoyance.
He can't do anything well and talks a lot of nonsense.
Ge Erdan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment when he thought about the fact that his fattening job of eating meat every day was gone.
After working for a while, he asked someone who replaced him as the breeder.
When Shen Jinquan was asked by him, he felt uneasy, shook his head and lied that he didn't know either.
In fact, he didn't want to do breeding because the work points were too few and he would have work points deducted if he didn't do his job well.
But Liu Xu insisted that he go.
Ge Erdan didn't get the answer he wanted, so he had to work with everyone in order to eat.
All the members and educated youth of the Hongyao Brigade went out to build the village road to the highway in five days.
The original three-meter-wide dirt road was widened to six meters. Large stones, broken bricks and river sand were used as the roadbed, and then covered with yellow mud for making bricks, and finally a thick layer of river sand.
In order to make the roadbed solid, all ten old buffaloes in the village were mobilized to pull large stone rollers back and forth to roll the road. Finally, the road surface was as smooth as a stone slab.
Even on rainy days, you won't get muddy when walking on it.
After the main road was repaired, the captains of each team led the members of their team to start repairing the road in their own team.
Meng Wenwu led the Dongwa team and started from the main road of the brigade headquarters and continued to repair the road until they reached the village entrance.
Qin Qiuniang has been standing at the door these days, watching the road construction in the village.
Qin Li plans to build a house by the end of the year, so the road down the mountain must be repaired.
But it is about three miles from the village entrance to the hillside. Qin Li is not at home, and the villagers may not be willing to help.
"Tan Nier, take a look at how much oil you have left at home and divide it into 37 portions. Give one portion to each family in our team, and give each family an extra dollar."
Chen Tan, who was with her, naturally understood what she meant, "Okay, I'll go now."
She went into the house and took out the fried goods and dried meat from the jars before the New Year. There was not much left.
There are a total of 37 households in the Dongwa team, and each household can only get less than half a catty, which is probably not enough.
Her consciousness entered the space and looked at the fruit she had produced. She definitely couldn't take it out.
Then let's give two dollars to each family. It will be more than seventy dollars to repair the road, which is worth it.
She divided all the oil goods, wrapped them tightly with oil paper, put them into a backpack, and went to Meng Wenwu's house first.
It was just the time to get off work in the evening, and Meng Wenwu and his family were having dinner. Seeing Chen Tan, Yu Hongying happily welcomed him into the house.
Seeing Chen Tan carrying so many things, he looked at her in confusion, "Tan Ni'er, what are you doing?"
"Aunt, I have something to ask of you."
Chen Tan took out ten yuan and two bags of snacks, plus the fruit Wei Xiao bought for her family.
This was specially prepared for Meng Wenwu.
"I'd like to ask Uncle Meng to help build the road up the mountain. My grandmother said that our road is not the collective's job, so she asked me to give these things to everyone as a token of gratitude."
"Oh, it's just a road, why does it require so much stuff?"
Yu Hongying has three sons, only the eldest is married and has a grandson.
She is particularly greedy for other girls.
I love agarwood from the bottom of my heart.
"Auntie, compared to everyone's willingness to help, these things are nothing. My eldest brother is not at home, and I don't have much money. This is all I can give. When he comes back, we will go to thank him."
Her voice is sweet but not coquettish, her pronunciation is clear, and her word choice is appropriate. It is particularly soothing to the ears.
Meng Wenwu and Yu Hongying nodded in appreciation, and in their hearts they sighed that she was honest in her work and spoke well.
So, the two men accepted the things but insisted on not taking her money.
He also accompanied her personally to deliver the things to each household.
