Chapter 37 Completion of Private Land

 They are a little afraid to use their chopsticks. Even during the New Year and holidays, everyone may not be able to eat this, but here is rice.

Although it looks a little yellow.

But this is really rice.

"Chen Zhiqing, you are too polite. We can just eat whatever we want. There are so many vegetables and rice."

A man with a dark face and an honest look said with a smile.

It's been a long time since they had such good food. Everything they ate was full of oil and water, and they worked hard.

"Come on, come on, eat quickly, you're welcome, the captain is here too, come as soon as you come, what kind of wine do you want to bring!"

Previously, Chen Zixuan asked Li Jie to call the captain, hoping that the captain would come over to have a meal, but he thought he would not come.

I didn't think twice about agreeing and even brought a bottle of wine.

The captain was sitting upright and didn't want to say anything else. He was so greedy that he just wanted to eat quickly.

"Such a good dish must be accompanied by wine, otherwise how can it be paired with such a good dish? Eat them all while they are hot."

Chen Zixuan first scooped a bowl of soup for each person.

Seven or eight pieces of rice rolls and pork liver per person.

My mouth was full of oil after eating each one, but the fishy smell was very light. These dishes taste surprisingly delicious.

But they don’t dare to really drink.

I worry that I will drink too much and be unable to work.

Only then did Zhang Hongguo realize that they still had to work, unlike him, who just came here to eat and drink.

Suddenly his face turned red and he patted his head.

"Look what I did, I almost made a mistake."

After putting away the bottle of wine he had brought, Zhang Hongguo ate with everyone and was sweating profusely.

After eating and drinking, everyone rested for a while. It was still quite early and the private land was almost ready to be finished.

Not long after the break, everyone hurriedly went to work again.

Zhang Hongguo was too embarrassed to come and eat for free, so he took the initiative to help, pointing out all the flaws and fixing them carefully.

At this time, the work can be done so neatly without a ruler. These helpers are very hardworking.

More than ten days have passed, and the grass and garbage on this land have been cleaned up and cultivated.

It is also fenced around and looks like a small courtyard. You can even sleep here in the summer.

Chen Zixuan couldn't help but feel truly settled in his heart, losing some of the previous floating feeling.

"Thanks to everyone for your hard work during this period."

The smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all. He took out a bag of hard candies from the house. They were not very valuable and did not require a ticket.

Each of them grabbed a handful and put them in their pockets.

"No, no, no, Chen Zhiqing, we have already eaten so well, why are we so embarrassed when you are like this!"

"I eat and take it, I won't dare to help you next time."

One by one they declined hastily. Although the children at home are very greedy, they also have their own dignity as human beings.

Wouldn't it be too greedy to ask for everything? Everyone refused with sincere expressions.

This is the first time Chen Zixuan has seen such village customs.

In the past, when he was in the countryside, he wanted to give him everything, and even thought it was too little. He didn't dare to give too much if someone gave him a handful of candies, for fear of feeding up their appetite.

See their embarrassed looks.

Chen Zixuan feels even more cute.

"You must take it. I didn't give you the money, but you must take this candy back to give it to your child and sister-in-law."

"These are not worth much anyway."

Fortunately, I didn't take out the White Rabbit toffee, otherwise everyone would have felt like they had seen a ghost again.

Seeing Chen Zixuan being so insistent and pushing him back and forth, it didn't look good, so I had to accept it.

"Chen Zhiqing, if you need any help in the future, just let me know. We will also build a thatched house for you on your land."

"It's just that you can sleep in the summer. It's probably difficult in the winter because it's too cold. It's quite simple inside and there's no kang."

The speaker was Zhang Hongguo’s nephew Zhang Ming.

Their three brothers all came over to help.

Captain Zhang Hongguo is their uncle.

In his early years, he learned a little carpentry and acquired a skill, which he could earn a living in the village.

If it weren't for the fact that the captain was their uncle, he wouldn't have known that Chen Zhiqing wanted people to build fences or something.

"Okay, then I'll thank you all in advance."

I originally thought about finding someone to make some wooden sticks to build a vegetable shed. It would be best if I have someone I know who can do this, so I won’t be tricked.

Chen Zixuan never thought about not giving money.

After all, if you work, you have to pay. This is the case in modern times. Otherwise, how can people make money to eat?

It’s so hard to make some money now.

Accidentally, I am making money with my head in my head.

After everything was done, I paid a total of five yuan for the wood and plastic, even though they were not willing to accept it at all and refused in every possible way.

At first, Chen Zixuan gave eight yuan.

But they don’t think they need eight yuan at all, even if they do it for others, it only costs five yuan at most.

What's more, they all agreed to do it for free. Now that it's done, how can they change their minds and ask for money?

"I have to accept it. I know that you usually make all kinds of things for people for more than this price. This price is already very cheap. You also have to support your family, so accept it!"

Chen Zixuan just stuffed five dollars in.

"Take it. Since Chen Zhiqing insists on giving it, if you need help next time, just take the initiative to help."

Zhang Hongguo really couldn't bear to push him around.

Based on this understanding of Chen Zixuan, Zhang Ming knew that the other party was sincere and not being polite.

There were five people, three of them divided it, each of them got a dollar and a half. Zhang Ming put in the most effort, and each person got two dollars.

"Give, keep."

After returning home, Zhang Ming's wife was a little surprised when she saw the two yuan in front of her. Where did such a small sum of money come from?

She only knew that Zhang Ming was busy making vegetable greenhouses these days, and she also knew that it was done for free for Chen Zhiqing. Although she didn't agree with it, she didn't object when her uncle came to invite him.

"Master, where does this money come from?"

After closing the door, Zhang Ming's wife was a little worried.

Is your husband going to speculate?

Their family is still hungry and their life is barely adequate, but they don’t want to live in such a life of fear.

"It's not what you think. It was the money for building a shed during this period. Chen Zhiqing gave it to me. I was not the only one to have two yuan."

"The eldest brother and the second brother, one dollar and five each."

Zhang Ming still has a smile on his face.

For two yuan, you can eat several meals of meat.

Zhang Ming's wife finally felt relieved after hearing this. As long as she didn't get it through speculation, she would be relieved.

"Didn't you say it was done for free? Why did you still charge money? We can't do that kind of thing that goes against our word!"

She also thought that her husband promised and then went back on his word. She was not allowed to do such a thing. She could not go back on her word after she had promised.

"How is it possible? We insisted on not charging money, but Chen Zhiqing insisted on giving it, so he accepted it without any choice."

"Originally, they were asking for eight yuan, but it was too much. If you ask for so much money, five yuan is too much."

"Okay, let's make some more small furniture next time we have time and give them to Chen educated youth, but we can't take advantage of them."

Although the rural people are poor, many of them don't like to do things like taking advantage of others.

"I know, I know, go to bed early."

The private land has finally been tidied up.

Chen Zixuan is also planning to plant something.
