Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 112, I have something to say

Xiahetun Village.

Liu Jin strolled very leisurely. Since leaving Xiahetun for the capital, Liu Jin has never been so relaxed. He can have time to take a good rest, take a walk around, and carefully feel the details of this era.

The weather is still very cold. With the beginning of the Little Ice Age, winter comes earlier and colder, and lasts longer. It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It is the coldest season of the year.

The river outside Xiahetun Village has completely frozen, and the ice layer on it is very thick, several tens of centimeters thick. Liu Jin estimates that the current temperature is more than minus [-] degrees, which can be said to be very low. .

All the people in Xiahetun Village, old and young, are basically staying at home, cooking salt while keeping warm. In this regard, it is much better than the Gulou Village of Tian Erniu, Zhao Houzi and others, at least not for heating. A problem, anyway, is to boil the salt.

Xiahetun is still very poor. Although the houses of Liu Jin's family and Zhao Heishan's family have added a bit of "prosperity" to Xiahetun, the overall situation is still the same.

The dilapidated houses, the muddy roads after the snow melted, and the occasional ragged, thin and unkempt villagers are far from the Hongzhi Zhongxing written in the history books. It is obvious that the big guys don’t even eat I can't get enough.

"Brother Erhu, did you choke on your father?"

Behind Liu Jin, Zhao Erhu followed listlessly. He was released from confinement just now, and his mood was not as good as expected, he seemed unhappy.

"Isn't that right, you don't know what that Butcher Luo's daughter looks like, she doesn't even look like a woman, and my father insisted that even if I was beaten to death, I wouldn't marry that fat pig." .”

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Erhu was also full of anger, and said very angrily.

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. In the future, don't say such hurtful things, especially in front of the other party."

"Uncle Heishan is angry because of this. It doesn't mean that you must marry Luo Butcher's daughter."

"Just now I told Uncle Heishan about your situation. You can read and write, and you can count geography. Naturally, it's okay to marry one. He is also looking for another one to make sure you like it. "

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu's appearance, smiled and explained.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Zhao Erhu regained his energy immediately, with a smile on his face, thought for a while and said: "My father is a rock, no one can convince him, and only Brother Jin, you can persuade him."

"Of course it's true, you kid just wait to be the bridegroom's official, I don't know whose family's daughter will insert it on your pile of cow dung."

Liu Jin nodded and said with a smile.

"Hmph~ I don't like it in general. I, Zhao Erhu, hang out with Brother Jin. Sooner or later, I will be able to make a difference. Naturally, I can't just randomly find a wife."

Zhao Erhu, who has always been honest and honest, raised his tail and replied slightly proudly at this time, which made Liu Jin couldn't help but take a closer look at him, and he had to sigh in his heart, this person is It will change, Zhao Erhu who has seen the world is no longer the former Zhao Erhu.

It's New Year's Eve now, and tomorrow is New Year's Day.

Walking around, I also came to the middle of Xiahetun, under the old toon tree, there are basically people here, and there are young and old who are free and have nothing to do. They like to gather under the old toon tree to chat and pass the time.

"Brother Jin~"

The arrival of Liu Jin also immediately caused a lot of greetings. Now everyone knows that Liu Jin has set up a Xishan Coal Industry in the capital, which is very profitable. The workers in Xishan Coal Industry are treated well, and many people are also thinking about opportunities Ask Liu Jin to see if he can work for Xishan Coal Industry.

In addition, when Liu Jin's house was built in the past, every household in the village had to provide labor. This was another meal and a day's wages of tens of cash. After entering and exiting, every household had a much better winter.

So seeing Liu Jin, everyone was even more enthusiastic.

"Hi Uncle Li~"

"Uncle Zhang~"

"Hello, Grandpa Zhao~"

Liu Jin also smiled and greeted everyone one by one, then looked at everyone, and soon saw the village chief, Uncle Zhou, and said, "Grandpa Zhou, how are you?"

"Okay~ okay~"

Uncle Zhou replied with a smile.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"What else can we talk about? Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? Everyone is naturally talking about the Chinese New Year. This year, I still want to thank Brother Jin for doing the work for everyone. This not only earns wages but also leaves food. This year will be better. too much."

Uncle Zhou smiled and replied, this is the truth. In the past, there was not much difference between the Chinese New Year in Xiahetun and the usual. New clothes and the like are only available in good times.

This year is different, because I have made a lot of money, and every family can live a decent year. Some people have torn a few feet of cloth to make new clothes, and bought meat to make dumplings for the New Year. It's been a lot better than ever.

"Oh~ look at my memory, I actually forgot about this."

When it comes to Chinese New Year, when it comes to building his own house, Liu Jin couldn't help but pat himself on the head, and then said to Zhao Erhu: "Erhu, go to my house and tell everyone to bring all the things I prepared."

"Grandpa Zhou, I would like to trouble you to inform every family in the village to send someone to come here under the old Chunshu. I have something to say to the big guy."

"I'll go right away~"

As soon as Zhao Erhu heard it, he immediately understood, and walked quickly towards Liu Jin's new home. As for the surrounding villagers, they were all at a loss as to what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Jin's gourd, but this was not the case. It prevented the village head Zhou from sending someone to call out all the people who are in charge of every household in the village.

Liu Jin has something to say to the big guys, so of course he wants to listen to it. Not to mention that Liu Jin used to be a scholar with a high status and everyone respected him. Now Liu Jin is even more popular and takes care of the people in his village.

Some people also speculate whether Liu Jin needs help with anything else, so that everyone can have enough to eat and earn wages, and then this winter will be easier.

As the messengers kept running around each household in Xiahetun to inform, soon, the heads of every household in the village also gathered under the old eucalyptus tree in the middle of Xiahetun village, all looking at Liu Jin, quietly waiting for the next story .
