Return to the small mountain village in 1993

Chapter 186 My money is fair and square

After breakfast, the family began to go about their own business, full of vigor and vitality.

Tian Hao walked out of the courtyard and found that besides Tian Shilei, Tian Sanshou, Tian Hai, Tian Xiaojun and Tian Shixin, there were three more people outside.

These three people were all of Tian Daming's generation, and they were also three of the thirty people that Tian Shilei asked to build the road.

"Uncle Wanfu, Uncle Sifang, Uncle Dagen."

Tian Hao greeted.

The three of them nodded, and Tian Wanfu asked, "Tian Hao, I heard them say yesterday that you still want to build roads?"

Tian Hao said: "Yes, it is about six or seven miles from my home to Jigong Mountain."

Tian Wanfu said: "Is it still the same as building a village road? It just needs to be widened and filled in?"

Tian Hao said: "Let's do this for the time being. When conditions are met later, we can continue to widen and harden it, or pave it with asphalt in the future."

Tian Wanfu said: "Look, can we leave this matter to us?"

Tian Hao smiled and said: "Is this possible? You can come and help me. I wish you all the best. If this road wants to be widened, it will involve many people's fields..."

Tian Wanfu said: "Don't worry about this. After we heard the news yesterday, we went to check the entire road. We have recorded all the families that may be involved, and we will try to follow up with them within three days. Let’s negotiate with each family.”

"that would be great."

Tian Hao said happily, "As long as their demands are not excessive, just agree and I will find a way to fulfill their demands."

"Okay, then it's settled." Tian Wanfu said.

"That's a deal."

As soon as Tian Hao finished speaking, Tian Wanfu, Tian Sifang and Tian Dagen were all very happy and left talking and laughing.

"Brother Hao, leave the road construction to them, they are reliable! Uncle Wanfu is famous for being serious and meticulous in his work. Look at our village roads. Although they are not wide, they are flat and solid. This is the foundation of our skills. !" Tian Shilei praised.

"Uncle Wanfu is indeed very serious. Anyone who dares to cheat with him is simply looking for discomfort." Tian Xiaojun said, "I once saw him yelling at an older person, and the older person's face turned green after he yelled at him. It was a piece of cake, but he didn't dare to say anything back because he did something wrong."

"Shitou, don't you also want to build roads? Otherwise, let Uncle Wanfu and the others help you?" Tian Hao asked.

Tian Shilei smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, road construction costs too much money, I can't afford it."

"Hanhan, are you still crying about being poor? In our village, besides Tian Hao, you are probably the richest, right?" Tian Hai patted Tian Shilei on the shoulder, "I heard that your mother has been When I’m helping you go on a blind date, the requirements and threshold are quite high.”

"If you had no money, would your mother raise the blind date requirements so high?"

Tian Shilei was embarrassed by what he said, and waved his hand and said: "That's what my mother said nonsense, and it has nothing to do with me. Although I made some money with Brother Hao, it's still too extravagant to hire someone to build roads."

"Last time, Brother Hao asked Uncle Wanfu and more than 30 people to build the village road. Each person was paid ten yuan a day, and they also provided a lunch and labor tools. Over 20 days, how much did you spend?"

"The labor cost alone cost more than 1 yuan, and lunch was meat every meal... Except Brother Hao, who can afford such an expense?"

Tian Hai listened and stopped talking.

Tian Xiaojun asked: "Tian Hao, you built the village road and didn't find the branch secretary to report the account?"

"No." Tian Hao shook his head.Tian Xiaojun sighed: "Then you are at a big loss! You build the village road, and everyone is very satisfied, but it is only satisfied, and there is no gratitude..."

"Why?" Tian Shilei couldn't help but ask.

Tian Xiaojun said: "Because the whole village knows that Tian Hao is rich, it is natural for him to pay for road construction. It would be different if Tian Hao reported it to the branch secretary in advance and announced it to the whole village."

"Now that the road has been repaired, it would be inappropriate to advertise it widely. It is better to get back the money you spent in the form of a bill. This will also let outsiders know that you actually don't have much money."

Tian Hao thought about it and felt that what Tian Xiaojun said made sense.

At first, I was still a little impulsive.

I just wanted to repair the road as soon as possible and buy the tricycle for emergencies, but I didn't think about the money issue.

"There are still people in the village talking about Tian Hao being rich and not being grateful, saying that Tian Hao's money was earned without conscience..." Tian Xiaojun continued, "These words are obviously nonsense, and most people in the village can tell the difference. Come out, but if such words spread too much, it will still be very detrimental to you, Tian Hao."

Tian Hai also said: "I have heard people talk about it like this. I scolded them a few words at that time, and those people stopped talking."

Tian Shilei said angrily: "Who are they? These people are too hateful. Don't you know that talking nonsense is the most hurtful thing? Brother Hai, tell me the names of those people. I must ask who made them do this." Rumor has it."

Tian Haidao: "I asked, and they also heard what others said."

Tian Hai did not say the names of those people. Tian Shilei wanted to continue asking, but Tian Hao raised his arm to stop him, "Let them say what they want to say. I believe the eyes of the people are sharp. I The money comes from above board.”

"However, Xiaojun reminded me that I should report the accounts to the branch secretary. After all, after the village road is repaired, I won't be the only one walking."

While talking, everyone came to Jigong Mountain and continued to open up wasteland.

It would still take a long time to carve out more than 500 acres of mountainous land manually.

What's more, there are still a lot of stones in the more than 500 acres of mountainous land, which are uneven and require stone ridges. Walls or fences need to be built around the entire wasteland, so the construction period will be longer.

Tian Hao is not in a hurry, just a few people can do it slowly.

Fortunately, several people are very diligent and have no intention of cheating.

Probably because Tian Hao was around, they were too embarrassed to be lazy.

"Brother Hao, do you have any clues about the root carving you mentioned last time?"

While taking a drink of water and taking a break, Tian Shilei asked Tian Hao.

Tian Hao smiled and said: "I have already found someone in Yangcheng to help inquire. He will call me when there is news."

"Is there really anyone with this thing?"

Tian Hai picked up a tree root and looked left and right, but he couldn't see what value the root had.

"Tian Hai, you are just an old hater. Do you think everyone is like you, who only eats and poops? They are rich people who know how to enjoy themselves and have taste." Tian Xiaojun curled his lips.

"Xiaojun, don't forget that you are also an old hater. What are you trying to do here?" Tian Hai threw the root to Tian Xiaojun, "Tell me, what's so good about this root?"
