Chapter 64 Life is full of hope

In this era of Naye Village, basically every head of the household can weave bamboo, such as corn lettuce, dustpan, chicken coop, pot lid, basket, dung pan, sieve, mat, pillow, fan, etc. Most of the villagers can use it. Woven from bamboo.

Deng Changping was sitting in front of his home weaving cornflowers. Although his life was difficult now, he was full of energy and full of hope for his future life.

And this hope was brought to him by Jiu Gong.

Originally, after dividing the land and working alone, Deng Changping was confident that his family's life would be better than before. As a result, Jiu Gong lent him all the family's fields for farming. Now, the couple farm both their family's fields and Jiu Gong's fields. Rice is served.

He just went to the fields this morning to see that the seedlings were growing well. If there were no natural or man-made disasters, a bumper harvest in the autumn was already foreseeable.

While he is free now, Deng Changping plans to weave more cornflowers, otherwise there will be a bumper harvest and there will not be so much cornflowers to pack the grain.

Just when Deng Changping was busy making up, a voice came from the roadside: "Changping, my dad asked you to come to my house. He has something to tell you."

Deng Changping looked up and found that it was Azhugu who was speaking. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Deng Changping put down the corn and got up and walked towards Jiu Gong's house.

Because his home was separated from Jiu Gong's house by a small river, after Deng Changping jumped across the river, he saw Jiu Gong sitting under the longan tree in front of his house smoking. He quickly said hello with a smile: "Jiu Gong."

Deng Shirong nodded to him and asked, "Are you too busy in the field?"

Deng Changping said: "I am very busy when I am plowing, harrowing, transplanting rice seedlings and cutting crops. I am not very busy at other times."

Deng Shirong had also plowed fields, so he naturally knew all this. He didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "It's like this. I need to hire a few workers. Each worker will be paid 36 yuan a month. If you can spare the time, If you do it, this job will be considered a one-of-a-kind job."

Deng Changping was surprised when he heard this and said: "Jiu Gong, are you working in the cylinder tile factory? I can spare time."

Since the news about the wages in the cylinder tile factory has spread, who in the entire Bangjie brigade does not envy the people who can work in the cylinder tile factory? Even the hardest working mud loader can earn 45 yuan in a month, which is more than many people who eat the imperial grain. powerful.

Nowadays, although the salary standard has been lowered to only 36 yuan a month, Deng Changping believes that as long as Jiugong publicly announces that he is recruiting people in the village, there will probably be dozens of people rushing to sign up if there are not even [-] people.

Deng Shirong shook his head and said: "I'm not working in the cylinder tile factory, but I plan to transform the mountains at my home into an orchard and plant fruit trees. Your job is to cut down all the trees on the mountains and give them to me, as well as the weeds, and then plant them again." Open up the mountains into terraces, and then dig tree pits according to the spacing I give."

Deng Changping was surprised and said: "Jiu Gong, do you want to transform the mountains into a garden?"

Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said with a smile: "Yes, I think there will be a leader in the orchard in the future. When I plant the fruit trees here, you can follow suit and you should be able to make money."

In later generations, everyone knows when it comes to orchards, but in this era, in the entire Shuangwang realm, except for Baiping Farm, there is no brigade dedicated to planting fruit trees. The existing fruit trees are wild and planted by villagers at will. Not much.

Therefore, Deng Changping had no idea at all about fruit tree planting.

However, Jiu Gong has always been a capable person in his heart. Since Jiu Gong said that planting fruit trees should make money, he must not be wrong. Let's see how Jiu Gong does it first, and then discuss it with his parents and wife later. Follow along.

Thinking of this, Deng Changping smiled and said: "Okay, as long as you set an example, Jiu Gong, I will follow suit."

Deng Shirong struck a match, lit the tobacco on the mouth of the chimney, took a few puffs, and then sprayed the shit (burned tobacco) out of the chimney, and then said: "Then it's settled, I have another Invite a few people, and you can go up to the mountain to work together tomorrow!"

"Okay." Deng Changping responded and said, "Jiu Gong, if it's okay, I'll go back first!"

"Ok!"

As soon as Deng Changping returned with his front foot, Deng Yunzhu came back with four people on his back foot.

The oldest of these four people is called Deng Yunkun, who is 48 years old this year. The remaining three are all young and strong young people. Two of them are Deng Yunkun's sons, named Deng Changdong and Deng Changliang respectively. The remaining young man is named Deng Yunkun. Dunshua.

The reason why Deng Shirong singled out these four people was mainly because they were well-known in the village for their good character.

In later generations, Deng Changdong, Deng Changliang, Deng Changping and Deng Sihua were recognized as the four most honest and reputable people in Naye Village. Deng Yunkun had already passed away at that time, otherwise he would still have to be counted.

It is not an easy thing in any era to be recognized by the whole village and even people from several nearby villages, but Deng Changdong and the four of them did it.

"Ninth Uncle."

"Jiu Gong."

"Ninth Patriarch."

The four people arrived and greeted Deng Shirong one by one.

Deng Shirong hummed, and after the four of them were seated, he went straight to the point and said, "I asked you to come here because I have a job I want to give you. Each person is paid 36 yuan per month. I don't know what you want." Don’t want to do it?”

The four people's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Again, there is no place to make money in rural areas in this era. Even if the monthly salary is only a dozen yuan, everyone has to rush to do it, let alone 36 yuan a month. It is a high income that has never been dreamed of.

Therefore, the four of them responded unanimously that they wanted to do it without even thinking about what kind of job they wanted to do.

So, Deng Shirong told them what he had said to Deng Changping before, and finally said: "If there is no problem, then you can start working on the mountain tomorrow!"

Deng Yunkun nodded quickly and said: "Okay, Uncle Jiu, we will go up to the mountain to work early tomorrow morning."

Deng Shirong stood up and said, "Then it's settled, I'm going to help Ba talk to Changcai, the carpenter, about something, so I won't tell you more!"

"Uncle Jiu/Mr. Jiu/Gong Jiu, let's go back first."

After hearing this, Deng Yunkun and the four of them said hello and went home with great excitement.

Especially Deng Yunkun and his son, they walked back with light steps. They were just clearing wasteland in the mountains. It was not hard work for them at all. After all, they were used to this level of work.

After working like this for a month, each person can earn 36 yuan, and the combined monthly income of the father and son exceeds [-] yuan. This is simply pie in the sky!

They had to walk back quickly to share this great news with their families.
