Chapter 92: All the Talents Needed
Zhang Hulan said, "Uncles, from now on, you can treat this place as your home."
The five of them hurriedly asked, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
"It's okay." Zhang Hulan said, "To be honest with you uncles, I will need a lot of people to work in the future, so you can help me keep an eye on things. You are not eating my food for free, you all have things to do. From now on, you uncles will shine here, and when you can no longer move, I will take care of you in your old age."
Yuan Gang patted his chest with his one arm and said, "My daughter, if you say so, then I will not be polite. You can arrange any work for me in the future. Even though I only have one hand, I can do the work. I can use a hoe to dig the ground with one hand."
Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Yuan, it's such a waste of talent to have you digging the ground. I have more important things to do in the future and I need your help."
These veterans are the talents Zhang Hulan needs. How could he let them dig the ground?
"No problem, feel free to arrange any work." All five of them said, patting their chests.
The five of them trusted Zhang Hulan deeply. Wu Deyong had told them that the person hiring them was the same person who had helped them find food a few months prior. Now that they knew Zhang Hulan was the daughter of a soldier, they trusted her even more.
They are old and can still barely support themselves now. They are worried about what will happen when they can no longer move in a few years. They are not worried about not having enough food to eat, but about not having anyone to collect their bodies after they die.
They didn't have many friends in the village. The older people who knew they had fought in the battlefield respected them, but the young people in the village didn't respect them much.
Although the young people in the village all know that they once fought on the battlefield, they cannot empathize with what happened in that era.
Zhang Hulan is different. She has been influenced since childhood and grew up in an atmosphere where almost everyone admires and respects soldiers.
Without the soldiers defending the country in the front, there would be no lights behind us...
Zhang Hulan was delighted. "Okay, it's a deal then."
Then she said to them, "Uncles, I have to inconvenience you for now. I don't have any extra rooms here, so I'll arrange for you to stay at my nephew's house for a while. I'll arrange for someone to build a house right away."
Huang Zhong said, "Don't bother. We can just go back and stay there for the time being. We have everything we need at home."
"Uncle Huang, you, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Dong all have weak legs, so it's too much trouble for you to run back and forth every day. My nephew's house is empty anyway, so you can stay there first."
"Then we didn't bring anything, not even a change of clothes."
Zhang Hulan said, "It's okay. I'll have my dad drive the donkey cart to take the uncles back to get their things."
"It's settled. I'll take you back to get your things." Old man Zhang immediately took the five people back to get their things.
At this time, a woman came and asked how many steamed buns she wanted.
Zhang Hulan asked her to go to Zhao Guoliang and ask how many people there were in total, and to give each person three steamed buns. She also reminded her not to steam the buns too small so that everyone could have enough to eat.
The woman quickly agreed.
Zhang Hulan then went to the wasteland to take a look. Including the villagers, there were about 400 people in total, divided into more than a dozen groups, working in various locations on the wasteland. The scene was bustling with activity.
Zhang Hulan found Zhao Guoliang and asked him to arrange people to build a few houses immediately.
Zhao Guoliang asked, "Where do you want to build it? What kind of building will it be?"
Zhang Hulan looked around and pointed to the middle of the wasteland. "That's the spot," she said. "We're going to build a road there, and we'll build houses on both sides of the road. Ten rooms on each side, all single-room units."
Zhao Guoliang asked, "Build it into a single room? How can you live in a house like this?"
Zhang Hulan said, "They are all for bachelors to live in, one room per person. A separate kitchen will be built, and someone will be dedicated to cooking."
Zhao Guoliang understood, "You want to hire a farmhand to work for you, so this house is for the farmhand to live in?"
"Yes. With such a large area of land, we will definitely need to hire a lot of people to work, and we have to provide them with accommodation. Those veterans will live here permanently, so we have to build their houses as soon as possible."
Zhao Guoliang nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhang Hulan then said, "Uncle Village Chief, leave the land reclamation work to Brothers Yongquan and Yonggui. I plan to build another house there."
Zhang Hulan pointed to the previous location near the back of the mountain and said, "That's it. This time I want to build a house with one entrance. You have experience in building houses, so I'd like you to help me. But there's no rush for my house. Let's first renovate the two rows of houses and then repair the road in the middle."
Zhao Guoliang nodded, "Okay. I'll make arrangements this afternoon."
The courtyard has more than a dozen rooms, which is more than enough to live in. When the three daughters grow up and get married, she will probably live alone, so it’s not good to build too many houses.
She wants to find a son-in-law who will live with her family, but it is still unclear whether she can get one.
If her three daughters grow up and have someone they like but the other party is unwilling to be a live-in son-in-law, she cannot force them to marry into the family.
As for Shanzi, she wanted to match Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao, but this was just her wishful thinking. The child would grow up and have his own ideas, and she would not impose her ideas on the child.
……
After Old Man Zhang sent Zhang Zhong and others to pick up their luggage, Zhang Hulan temporarily placed them at Shanzi's house.
The five people were busy all the time. After getting the things back, they went to work.
Zhang Hulan asked the five people to help watch over and give instructions, but all five of them did the work themselves.
At lunch, Zhang Hulan invited Huang Zhong and the other four to her home to eat, but they all refused and ate steamed buns with the villagers.
At dinner time, Zhang Hulan called five people to her home for dinner and said that she had something to discuss with them.
Hearing that there was something to discuss, the five people nodded and went to Zhang Hulan's house.
Zhang Hulan introduced Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing, and then said to Huang Zhong and others: "My uncles, I am running a small business. My elder brother and younger brother help me deliver goods every day, and the son of Zhao Lizheng also helps me deliver goods.
I would like to ask the three uncles to work with them on the delivery. The work is not hard. Every day, we just need to deliver the goods to the restaurant, settle the bill with the restaurant owner, and then go buy some things. "
Zhang Hulan continued, "To be honest, when I first started, some people wanted to take over my business. My brothers lacked experience, and I was a little worried.
"You uncles have all been on the battlefield. If someone follows you or something unexpected happens, you uncles should have more experience than them in dealing with it. I wonder if you uncles are willing to do it?"
Huang Zhong said, "It's not about willingness or unwillingness. You can make the arrangements, niece."
