Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 105, became the focus of the whole village

Drum Tower Village.

As Uncle Zhao opened his voice and shouted, the peaceful village began to slowly become lively, especially when the people in the village saw Tian Erniu, Zhao Houzi, Dahu, and Shaxiong. It was as if a pot had exploded, and it boiled quickly.

"Are you Zhao Houzi?"

Someone looked at Zhao Houzi carefully, and it was hard to believe that the person in front of him could be Zhao Houzi.

"Haha~ If it's true, do you still remember the time when the two of us went to peek at who took a shower together?"

Zhao Houzi looked at Qian Dazhuang in front of him and said with a smile.

"I'm going, you're really a monkey~ I don't recognize you anymore, with your outfit, are you a monk?"

When Qian Dazhuang heard this, he immediately knew that the person in front of him was definitely Zhao Houzi, but he really couldn't believe everything in front of him. This Zhao Houzi had changed completely, and he couldn't see the shadow of the past at all.

"Bah~Bah~"

"Whoever becomes a monk, don't talk nonsense, I still want to marry a daughter-in-law to continue the incense for our family."

"I just cut off my hair and beard. After cutting off the hair and beard, there are many benefits. People who work in Xishan are like this."

Zhao Houzi patted his head and said.

"You guys have really changed a lot. Didn't you go out for the winter, why?"

Someone next to him hurriedly asked again. At this time, the four of them were surrounded by people, all of them curiously asking questions.

"It's a long story, so I'll briefly tell you about it~"

Zhao Houzi looked at the pairs of curious eyes around him, smiled, and began to happily talk about his affairs in the capital. He had already thought about this content on the way back, and now he saw someone wanted to hear it. , It started talking endlessly.

"You don't know, the city wall of this capital city is very high, it's seven or eight feet long~"

"...We were recruited by Xishan Coal Industry. Mr. Liu from Xishan Coal Industry, he is a real benevolent person. He not only gives us food, but also three meals a day, the kind that we eat casually, white flour Steamed buns and rice are not bran, there is meat once every three days..."

"In addition to food, we also gave us new clothes. Did you see that all the clothes and shoes on me are from Xishan, and there are two sets for each person. The clothes are good cotton clothes, and the shoes are also from the top. Good shoes, very warm~”

"We mine coal for Mr. Liu. It's that kind of black coal. People in the capital don't burn firewood or charcoal. They all use briquette. This briquette is made of coal."

"Of course it works. If it doesn't work, people in the capital would use briquettes? If I had known, I would have brought a few back to show you. It will open your eyes."

"Mr. Liu is very kind to us. Of course, we have worked hard for Mr. Liu, but our work is not for nothing, and we still have money."

"The more work I do, the more money I get. See if you see it, this is the salary I received, which is more than 800 Wen~"

Zhao Houzi is obviously a very good speaker. He described everything here in Xishan with eloquence. When talking about the money he earned, he proudly took out the money bag and weighed it in his hand. Some noises come.

"There is such a good thing in the world. You can eat three meals a day, eat meat for three days, and get money for work. How is it possible?"

Qian Dazhuang and the others were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe Zhao Houzi's words.

"How can I, Zhao Houzi, lie to you?"

Zhao Houzi widened his eyes and said loudly: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Erniu, Dahu, and Shaxiong. The three of them have also made money, especially Shaxiong. It has reached more than 4000 texts."

"This is because we are temporary workers with low wages. If we were regular workers, we could earn hundreds of dollars a day."

Tian Erniu, Dahu, and Shaxiong, who were also surrounded by people, were naturally not as good at talking as Zhao Houzi. When asked by the villagers, they also answered.

"Erniu, it's true that Xishan has three meals a day, and is it enough to eat white noodles and steamed buns?"

"Well, it's like this. Didn't you see the monkeys being raised up~"

"Big Tiger, what does it taste like to eat meat?"

"Eh~ I can't tell, but it's very fragrant."

"Silly bear, you posted it, and you actually got a salary of more than 4000 Wen, isn't it true?"

"Of course it's true. Although I, silly bear, eat a lot, I'm also strong and work hard. Others carry a load of dozens of catties, and I carry 200 catties. Naturally, I get paid more than others."

When talking about this, Shaxiong is very proud of himself. In the past, the villagers laughed at him for being able to eat, and his family also disliked him for being able to eat. Even his biological parents disliked him and drove him out for the winter.

"Tsk tsk~ I have lived my whole life, but I have never encountered such a good thing."

Someone really couldn't believe what the four of them said, and couldn't help shaking their heads.

"We have not only made money here in Xishan, but we can also read and write now."

Zhao Houzi looked at the envious and jealous eyes around him, and his vanity was greatly satisfied, but he didn't finish his words, so he continued to talk.

"Blow it up, you still know how to read and write?"

When Qian Dazhuang heard this, he immediately retorted.

"Why am I lying to you? When we were here in Xishan, we were very busy during the day, from morning to night, and at night we had to take night classes. A scholar came to give us lectures and taught us how to read and judge. Chinese characters, teach us arithmetic and bookkeeping, and also tell us about astronomy, geography, historical legends, etc. I will find a time later, and I will talk to you about this aspect. There are too many, too many things to talk about. The outside world is vast and wonderful.”

Zhao Houzi glared at Qian Dazhuang, then said proudly.

"How do you say, all of you are scholars?"

Someone asked in disbelief.

"Of course we are far from scholars. We have only learned some characters, we can recognize hundreds of characters and calculate some numbers. If you ask me to write, I must not be able to write well, and I am not a scholar. "

When Zhao Houzi said this, he was very humble. The more he knew, the more humble he became.

However, Zhao Houzi's modesty is completely different in the eyes of the villagers. He can know hundreds of characters and count, which is incredible. It's not a level of people anymore.

When everyone looked at Zhao Houzi, Tian Erniu, Dahu, and Shaxiong, their eyes suddenly changed, and they seemed to be more respectful.
