Chapter 141 Are you willing to help me?
Qinglin stood up immediately.
With a smile on his face, he said: "But I waited until you came back. Today is not a coincidence. I didn't know you went to the county town until I came to the village. It's not the end of the year. Thanks to you for taking care of our village this year, everyone We unanimously decided to invite you to our village for dinner.”
Shen Qianning was surprised: "Everyone invite me to dinner?"
She likes the people in Qingtian Village very much, and everyone knows how to be grateful.
Qinglin nodded, a little embarrassed: "It's just that our village may not be as wealthy as yours, so we only eat simple meals. Don't find it objectionable. Come to our village with your three children at noon tomorrow! Just come to my house directly. good."
I heard Qinglin talk about his family.
Shen Qianning understood that it was Qinglin's intention to invite her to dinner.
She agreed directly.
Shen Qianning originally invited Qinglin into the house, but Qinglin said goodbye and left directly to avoid suspicion.
Shen Qianning opened the door, unloaded the carriage, and led the horse into the cowshed.
With the three children not at home, Shen Qianning felt deserted.
Everyone in the village was busy preparing New Year's goods, and Uncle Xiao came to borrow the carriage the next day.
Shen Qianning directly borrowed the carriage.
Shortly after Uncle Xiao and the others left, Wang Mazi came.
This is the last time to pull food this year, and all three children seemed a little excited.
Shen Qianning did not ask the three children in front of outsiders, but asked Wang Mazi to carry the vegetables onto the carriage.
The vegetables in the field have been completely cleared this round. After the new year, spinach and pea tips will grow faster and age faster. She plans to clear the land in Mencun at the beginning of the new year.
After giving today's wages to Qiu Shui and the others, she also asked Qiu Shui to help, giving ten cents of New Year's money to each of the women in the village who worked for her, and she took the children to Qingtian Village.
You definitely can’t go to Qingtian Village empty-handed.
There are many children in Qingtian Village.
What do children look forward to most during the New Year?Of course there are snacks to eat.
So, she took out a large bag of ten kilograms of melon seeds from the space, and then took out two bags of unwrapped rock candy, and poured the melon seeds into the cloth bag.
The rock candy was wrapped in oil paper and divided into three portions for the children.
He warned: "When you go to Qingtian Village, if you see children, give them some rock candy, you know?"
The three brothers Xiao Dongchen took the rock candy and promised: "Don't worry, mom, we know."
They are no longer greedy now.
It seems quite happy to think that I can share my favorite food with other children.
Soon we arrived at Qingtian Village. Because of the difficulty of walking, as soon as we entered the village, Shen Qianning called over the children who were playing outside.
Children in Qingtian Village all know Shen Qianning, and many of them like Shen Qianning very much.
Because Shen Qianning always smiled when talking to them and made people feel very comfortable.
After a while, more than a dozen children came in front of Shen Qianning. Shen Qianning opened the cloth bag and grabbed melon seeds from it and gave them to the children, two handfuls each.
Qing Lin rushed over and saw Shen Qianning still giving out melon seeds to the children.
He said helplessly: "You can just come, why are you spending so much money?"
These sunflower seeds are not cheap. He had asked before and they cost more than ten cents per pound.
Shen Qianning gave so much to the children, he brought a lot of pounds at least!
Shen Qianning didn't care. Seeing the children happy, her mood improved.
So the three children were asked to play with the children in the village.
She said to Qinglin: "I made a lot of money this year. It's the Chinese New Year. What's wrong with wanting to give the children something to eat? Do we still need to be so polite?"
This made Qinglin feel embarrassed, so he simply stopped saying these kind words.
After Shen Qianning told the children to have fun, they went to Qinglin's house.
Lady Qinglin is particularly enthusiastic.
Shen Qianning thought about Mencun.
There is definitely a need for human race in so many places in Mencun.
She is not short of money now and can afford the salary.
But she couldn't keep staring there, so she needed help. She was thinking about this after the emperor rewarded her.
And to help her do things, she also needs someone she can trust.
The ones she trusts are Old Man Xiao and Qing Lin.
Mr. Xiao is not very suitable due to his old age, so Qinglin is the most suitable and satisfactory candidate.
So as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Brother Qinglin, do you have any plans for next year?"
plan?
Qinglin looked at Shen Qianning with some confusion, not understanding what Shen Qianning meant by asking this.
Shen Qianning did not hide anything and said directly: "You also know that the emperor rewarded me with eighty acres of land."
The emperor's reward to Shen Qianning caused a stir, so Qinglin naturally knew that the eighty acres of land were in Mencun.
Frowning, he said: "Originally, it was a good thing that the emperor rewarded the land, but the place in Mencun..."
People from all over the country know about Mencun.
Everyone is quite afraid of going to Mencun.
After all the people in Mencun died, Mencun became a forbidden area for everyone.
Shen Qianning smiled calmly and said: "I think Mencun is quite good. Now not only is Mencun my territory, but also the mountains and forests that belong to Mencun, and the villages in Mencun belong to me. I bought them from the government! "
What!This time Qinglin was really surprised.
Swallowing his saliva, he said, "You also bought the woods? I heard that they buried all the bones in the woods."
Shen Qianning was not afraid at all, nor did he shy away from it.
Said: "There is nothing to be afraid of corpses. The most terrifying thing in the world is poverty. I bought it because the place is cheap. The village can be flattened to plant fruit trees. The trees can be dug up on the edge of the forest and replanted." Plant fruit trees.”
Qinglin was worried: "But you can't accomplish these things alone!"
Shen Qianning smiled softly and said: "Who said I only rely on myself? The so-called money can make all the difference. It's best if someone is willing to do the work. If no one is willing to do the work, if I pay more, do you think you can hire someone? ?”
Now it was Qinglin's turn to be speechless.
Indeed, there is a saying that "money can make the world go round."
As long as the price is right, I will kill anyone.
What's more, the things in Mencun are both big and small.
Shen Qianning continued: "I am asking you today because I want to know if you are willing to help me."
Qinglin suddenly became excited.
"What did you say?"
You know, people in the village are saying that they would be really happy if they could always work with Shen Qianning.
Shen Qianning does not delay wages or make people work more. As long as they finish their work for the day and do not slack off in the middle, Shen Qianning will not say a single unnecessary word.
He had always thought that it would be great if he could help Shen Qianning for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qianning actually proposed it.
It was nothing short of a surprise.
Qinglin quickly said: "I do."
Lady Qinglin standing aside was also very excited.
Obviously, he also wants Qinglin to follow suit.
Seeing Qinglin's agreement, Shen Qianning continued: "What you are asking for is also related to Mencun. The land in Mencun must be planted, eighty acres. I plan to use the land on the mountain to grow potatoes and pumpkins, and it will be more fertile. If there are people from your village, they will be used to grow vegetables. As long as they are willing to work, I will take them! There are not enough people, so if people from other villages want to come, you have to choose carefully. "
