Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich

Chapter 29 Buying Land, Building Houses and Recruiting Workers

At daybreak, Old Lady Yun helped Xiangdong prepare breakfast. After eating some pancakes and porridge, she took the silver and prepared to go to the village chief's house.

Originally, Mrs. Yun wanted to go alone, but Mr. Yun insisted on going with her. So the old couple had no choice but to go to the village chief's house together.

"Knock knock knock...Old village chief, are you home?" Old Lady Yun stood at the gate of the yard and knocked on the door politely a few times.

"Grandma Yun, Grandpa Yun, Grandpa is at home, please come in!" The chubby Hu Zi ran out of the house and said in a baby voice to Grandma Yun and Grandpa Yun.

Old Lady Yun touched Hu Zi's round head with a smile and said softly, "Good boy, Grandma Yun has some malt sugar here. Take it. Remember to brush your teeth well~" Then she took out two pieces of malt sugar from her pocket and handed them to Hu Zi.

"Thank you, Grandma Yun!" Hu Zi was very happy. His big round eyes lit up instantly. He hurriedly took the candy and thanked her sweetly.

"Village chief." Old Man Yun walked into the house, sat down next to the village chief, and then spoke softly.

"Well, Lao Yun, what's the matter that brought you to me today?" The old village chief looked at the old couple of the Yun family and asked curiously.

"It's like this, old village chief. We have a piece of wasteland in our backyard. We plan to buy it and build a house." Old Man Yun explained slowly.

When the old village chief heard about buying land, he suddenly became excited. After all, the village had not had any income for a long time.

He thought for a moment and replied, "I've measured that wasteland before, and it's two mu and two taels. I'll give you two mu. The price is one tael of silver."

"Thank you, village chief. I have something else to trouble you with." This was similar to what the Yun family expected last night, so when taking out the silver, Old Lady Yun was very straightforward. She put the money on the table and said to the old village chief.

"What's the matter?" The old village chief was in a good mood at this time. He was immersed in the joy of the village becoming rich, and he became particularly amiable.

"My family is building a house and is in urgent need of help. So I would like to ask the village chief to help spread the word in the village. If anyone is willing to help, that would be great.

However, I hope to find ten people who are hardworking and willing to work. Those who are lazy and cunning should not come. As for the salary, it will be the same as the salary for working in the town."

After saying this, a look of surprise appeared on the old village chief's face. After all, this was a rare opportunity and everyone would definitely rush to come.

So he nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would do his best to help.

Then, the old village chief turned to his grandson and said, "Huzi, go and help grandpa get the gongs and drums."

"Okay, Grandpa!" The little guy ran away immediately and got the gongs and drums back in a short while.

The old village chief took over the gongs and drums, beating them while shouting, "Everyone, gather in the open space in the middle of the village. I have something important to announce."

Hearing the village chief's call, the villagers put down their work and walked quickly towards the open space in the middle of the village.

They knew that since the village chief had called everyone together so solemnly, something big must have happened.

Not long after, the villagers gathered in the open space, each of them looking expectant, waiting for the village chief to speak.

The village chief stood on the high platform and glanced at the crowd below. He saw that most of the villagers had gathered here.

He cleared his throat and said loudly to everyone, "I have good news to tell you today! Yun Yongsheng's family is planning to build a new house and now needs ten helpers. The wage is 20 wen per person per day, and lunch is provided."

The villagers, who had been a bit noisy at first, suddenly quieted down after hearing the news. Many people were thinking, "Yun Yongsheng's family is building a house? What does that have to do with us?"

However, when they learned about the wages and benefits for building the house, many people's eyes suddenly lit up.

The villagers raised their hands one after another and shouted loudly: "Village chief, I want to go, I want to go!"

Seeing so many villagers working so enthusiastically, the village chief couldn't help but smile, but then he warned seriously: "Those who like to be lazy and cunning should not come. If you really want to work, you can come to my house later to sign up." After that, the village chief turned and walked towards home.

Many villagers followed closely, fearing that they would fall behind and not be able to register.

After all, job opportunities like this, where you can earn money right at your doorstep, are rare and much better than going to town.

Old Mrs. Yun also returned home, and Old Man Yun went to the village chief's house with the village chief.

"Village chief, I'm signing up." The speaker was Tiezi, a good hunter in the village. He was also an honest man and was deeply trusted and loved by the villagers.

The village chief picked up the pen without hesitation and wrote Tiezi's name on the list.

When Tiezi saw his name written, a delighted smile appeared on his face, and he quickly and excitedly thanked the village chief: "Thank you, village chief, thank you, village chief!"

The village chief smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome, my friend. Remember to come over tomorrow morning."

Old Master Yun, who was standing by, watched this scene and nodded, expressing his approval of Tiezi. Then he turned to Tiezi and said, "Tiezi, come over tomorrow morning."

Tiezi nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yun."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "I want to sign up too!" It turned out to be Zhang Dahua's husband, Dashan. He looked at the village chief eagerly, hoping to get this opportunity.

However, the village chief frowned, shook his head firmly and said, "You can't."

Dashan was unconvinced and asked, "Why can they do it, but I can't?"

Before the village chief could answer, people in the queue started to speak up, blaming Dashan one by one.

"Don't you know who you are?"

"That's right, how can you possibly work properly if you're just idling around all day?"

Faced with everyone's criticism, Dashan had no way to refute and had to turn around and leave the village chief's house in shame.

Finally, after careful selection, the village chief selected ten very hardworking young men. These young men were full of energy and enthusiasm, which made Mr. Yun very satisfied.

Old Master Yun returned to his home contentedly, looking forward to starting construction on the house tomorrow.

"Mom, take a look at this and see if it's okay." Yun Tingqing handed the planned map to his mother, his eyes full of anticipation.

However, he overlooked an important fact - his mother was illiterate. Seeing his mother's bewildered look, he realized the problem and quickly explained it to her.

"Mom, look, this is the blueprint for the house we're going to build. I think this piece of land in the backyard can have five rooms, plus an extra room as a backup.

This way, there will be enough space even if there are guests at home or if there are other needs.

Also, you can leave some space in the backyard so that when Tiantian and Pippi can walk, they will have a place to play.

Also, this is the door. From now on, we can open it and go directly to the back mountain!"

Old Lady Yun carefully studied the blueprints and listened to her son's explanations with a satisfied smile on her face. She nodded repeatedly, approving of her son's ideas.

"Okay, I will tell the craftsmen about this tomorrow and ask them to build it according to your requirements. You will be going back to school soon, right?" Old Lady Yun asked with concern.

Yun Tingqing nodded and replied, "Yes, mother, we will go back to town soon."

"Okay, you guys must be careful on the road. Although you are about the same age as your brothers and nephews, you have always been the most stable one.

"At school, you must take good care of your fourth brother and eldest nephew." Old Lady Yun couldn't help but nag at her son.

Yun Tingqing smiled and nodded, showing that he understood. He knew in his heart that his mother's nagging was out of concern and love for him.

He always keeps his mother's instructions in mind and tries his best to do his best.
