The casual life of the flat space

"It's Tieying! What's the matter?" Grandpa Wang's tone was much more friendly than when Bai Tieying visited for the first time.

"Grandpa Wang, I will help General Zhao to resettle some refugees in our village, but their household registration is not considered as that of Xianhe Village. I will take care of them first, and I will register them and resettle them if they perform well."

"What? How come I understood every word you said, but it feels like I didn't understand anything?"

"Haha, that is to say, these people are now slaves, and I am their master. But this is also to help General Zhao solve the problem. When the new county magistrate comes, those who perform well can be returned to their original place of origin or have their slave status cancelled, and stay in our Shang'an County."

"Ah, so you have servants? Then are you still a member of our Xianhe Village?" Grandpa Wang asked the question that concerned him most.

"Why not? I haven't lived in my new house for a few days! Besides, I have land and a factory. Grandpa Wang, what I want to tell you is that there was no one in our village who had time to dig canals before. Although these more than 100 people are old and weak, they can still walk and move. I think it's better to let them dig canals for us first."

"But, that's your man!"

"Grandpa Wang, aren't we thinking that our village is getting better and better and everyone is getting busier and busier? I can't support these people for nothing, right? In addition to the work at home, I think it's a good idea to dig a canal for our village. If our villagers save time, won't they be able to do other work?"

"Tieying," Grandpa Wang pulled Bai Tieying to the side of the ridge and said seriously, "My child, I don't know if you have too much money recently or what? You have done enough for our village. These people must not come to work for the village anymore, or in other words, they can't work for our village for free.

People are always greedy! Look at what happened to Chen Ergou, haven't you learned your lesson? Grandpa knows you are a good kid, but we should always be careful about what we say to others, and not be too sincere! Not to mention whether the villagers will remember your kindness, will these refugees blame you for meddling in other people's business? "

"Grandpa Wang, I understand." Bai Tieying lowered his head, thinking in his heart: It is really difficult to get rich and then lead others to become rich!

But what Village Chief Wang said was not without reason. When it comes to his control over the villagers, his words are definitely more authoritative. It's really not good for me to always be so pushy. If I really get used to it, then I won't be happy living here!

"Hey, kid, I'm not criticizing you, but why are you hanging your head? I'm telling you, do you have a place to live with all these 100 people?"

"No. It's too late to build a house today, but I thought we could let them dig a cellar to live in first. It will only take three to five days to dig it, and then we can start construction next spring."

"Look, you still say you have nothing to do, but can't you build a house or dig a foundation? Can't you go to the Tatou field to cut grass? Can't you go to the mountains to chop wood and fell trees? Do you think you don't have to worry about anything, just like the house you built? Or do you plan to build a brick house for them too?"

"Haha, that's not the case. Oh, now that you mention it, there really is so much work to do! Grandpa Wang, I don't know anything about this either. How about you help me with it?"

"You little girl, are you waiting for me here? Well, are you trying to play tricks on your grandfather?"

"Oh my god, Grandpa Wang, you are really wronging me. I only remembered it after you told me about it! Or you can tell me who knows about this, and I can ask others, right?"

"Go find your uncle. My family's fields are not doing much work now as it's harvest time. Let your uncle take care of it for you."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Wang. Don't worry, I will pay my uncle according to his salary. As long as he can keep the business going, I can keep the business going!"

"Dream on! I still have a lot of work to do at home!" Although Village Chief Wang said this, he did not refuse Bai Tieying's offer to pay him the wages.

"Then it's settled. Where's my Third Uncle? I'll go talk to him right away!"

"You really are... Never mind. Go ahead. It's in the south. You can find someone by just shouting."

Bai Tieying hurried to the south field to call Uncle Wang. When Uncle Wang heard about this good thing, he said that he would definitely let Bai Tieying take care of it and think of him for anything in the future.

Uncle Wang's name is Wang Nashou. When Bai Tieying heard him introduce himself to the refugees, he felt that the name made people want to complain, but he didn't know what to complain about.

So she quickly interrupted and said, "From now on, everyone will call you Steward Wang. Come, let's welcome Steward Wang to guide us in building our new home! Applause!"

Mu Qingqiu was the first to applaud. When the refugees saw this and understood what was going on, they also started to applaud one after another.

"Hehe, okay, let's go!" Wang Nashou took the lead and walked towards Bai Tieying's house. The refugees followed closely behind him, walking shyly and nervously under the gaze of many Xianhe Village villagers.

Bai Tieying didn't ride on a horse either, and she and Mu Qingqiu walked at the end of the team. Along the way, her "socializing pro" was online again, greeting the villagers she met one by one. When the brave villagers asked her who these people were, she answered them one by one, but she didn't mention the previous matter of helping to dig the canal.

The crowd was surprised to see the courtyard of Bai Tieying's house. The houses in the village ahead were not without bricks and tiles, but none of them had a courtyard and a wall. And why wasn't the chimney on the roof? It looked so big from the outside, so shouldn't it be even bigger inside?

Baoer's mother was secretly wiping tears at this time, and Baoer hurried to comfort her. Bai Tieying saw it and asked what was going on. Baoer said that her family's previous house was a courtyard house, and they had just lived there for three years...

When Baoer's mother heard this, she quickly covered Baoer's mouth and said that Baoer did not mean it and asked Bai Tieying not to take it too seriously. How could you be so fussy about a child? Besides, Bai Tieying really did not think too much about it and just smiled and let it go.

It is said that there is no harm without comparison. After seeing Bai Tieying's brand new courtyard, and then turning around to look at the barren land opposite, even though this was their own choice, the word "regret" still emerged in the hearts of these refugees.

Fortunately, Uncle Wang had some of the demeanor of Village Chief Wang. After these people had eaten the dry food that Bai Tieying bought in the city, he divided them into several groups and started working.

The children all went to cut grass in the Tatoudianzi. The youngest was taken care of by the oldest, regardless of whether they were from the same family or knew each other before.

The men and the younger women went to dig pits. They had to dig at least ten pits tonight so that they would have a place to hide from the cold autumn night.

The old people dug "camp stoves" under the guidance of Bai Tieying. Whether they could have dinner at night depended on them. So everyone had no time to think about anything else, just to make sure they had enough food tonight.
