Shelter in the pastoral

The people in the county originally thought that the yamen's road construction was just to repair the main line and decorate the facade.Everyone can understand this, so let's not talk about wages. I don't know how much money I have to pay for a day.Recently, a new cement factory opened on the edge of the county, and those who were not selected went to work there. A bag of cement costs nearly three hundred yuan, and every time the county pulls it, it is a truckload.In everyone's eyes, it is like using silver to pave the floor, but the floor paved by this thing is flat and strong, not afraid of wind and sun, and there will be no problem at all after 30 to [-] years.

The people in the county are looking forward to the road construction to reach their door, how magnificent it is.As a result, the main road in the county is almost finished, and a large amount of cement is still being transported. It is said that other roads must be repaired, not only the roads in the county, but also the roads in nearby villages. .

There are not enough people in the road construction team, and now they are recruiting again, and this time more people sign up.

Someone in the crowd spotted an acquaintance, "Why is Mr. Lin here too? Aren't you going to work outside?" Mr. Lin looks mighty and majestic, and he has been carrying sandbags in other counties before!

All the people who came here were recruited, and when they saw him coming, they felt that they had little hope. After all, their arms were thicker than their thighs.

Lin Laosan said: "My mother wrote to ask me to come back." He was frightened when he received a letter from his hometown while carrying sandbags outside, thinking that something serious happened at home.Later, I spent two pennies to find a literate person to read it again, and then I realized that the family asked him to come back to work. He said that a new county magistrate was appointed at home, and life in his hometown was very good.

There are two elder brothers in Lin Laosan's family, and the first younger brother.In the past, the whole family relied on him to carry sandbags outside.The two older brothers are too weak. The eldest brother is 28, the second brother is 26, and the family is poor and burdened. The neighbors see that his family is full of bachelors and they have no obsession with having sons. What's the use of having so many sons, even a daughter-in-law Can't afford to marry.

This time, he was very curious when he was told by his family to go back. A few acquainted workers urged him to come back. Doing something casually at home is better than carrying sandbags outside. It was originally to persuade him, but it turned out that I was also persuaded, and I also quit the job of carrying sandbags together. Three people accompanied him to come here, only to find out that it was road construction, and the wages were ten dollars a day, and two meals were provided.

Those are the muscles exercised by carrying sandbags, not the physique that people who weave at home every day can have.

Sure enough, Lin Laosan and three co-workers were quickly hired.Upon hearing that they came from other places, the person in charge said: "There is a house built on the outskirts of the city, and people can live in it. But there are people in charge, so we must abide by the rules there."

When the worker heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Are you taking money?"

The person in charge said: "No money is charged during the work."

The workers quickly signed up, and after signing up, they can get a washbasin and a toothbrush, all of which are brand new.The person in charge writes their names on the side.Although the two of them could not read, they were quite excited to see their names written on it stroke by stroke.

It is not convenient for them to live in Lin Laosan's house these days.I originally planned to rent a small house for the three of us, but now I am even more happy to have free accommodation.

"Hey, that's nice of you guys."

"That's right, if my hometown is so good, I'm sure I won't give up my family and work to carry sandbags for them."

These workers envied Lin Laosan very much.

Lin Laosan also had a dazed look on his face, so it wasn't like this, the county was overshadowed by the Jiao family, if he hadn't made an excuse to go out to work, sooner or later he would have been arrested and taken to the quarry, since he changed to the county magistrate, he will be fine live.

He was deeply touched. He used to support the family, but now his brother saved half a tael of silver for him to use for his marriage.His two elder brothers went to a literacy class a few days ago, and they were able to recognize, write, and count, and were hired by the county after they finished their studies.Going to the countryside to arrange things, the elder brother and the second elder brother are good-looking and can read, and they both found their wives.The eldest sister-in-law was married, and the second brother went directly to the countryside to become the son-in-law who stepped in. It is said that he is the daughter of the village chief. He can read and write, and now helps the village chief manage some affairs. Everyone in the village calls him the little village chief.

All of a sudden, the eldest brother and the second brother got married, and he was the only one left.

The family has no objection to the second elder brother being a pawn in the door. After so many years of being a bachelor, being able to hold a wife is better than anything else, let alone the daughter of the village chief.Now the second brother still raises pigs, and said that after the New Year, the county will finish harvesting pork, and if there is any leftover, I will bring them back some. The family is looking forward to it.

"Hey, I also want to live here in the future." The worker said, he has a pitiful background and has no relatives. Anyway, he is just looking for a living. Although he is physically strong, he can't do the work of carrying sandbags for a lifetime.I can't make much money doing that dirty and tiring job, and I can't marry a wife.

I used to be in a daze, and I took a step at a time, and now I find that it is not bad here, and there is no gap between the rich and the poor among the common people.

"I think so too."

Lin Laosan did not expect that the workers still had the desire to stay.

Said: "It's not easy to go to the village now!" Since the nearby villages have signed cooperative breeding with the county government, there are quite a lot of people who want to go to the village, but they can't.

Although the road is being built, it will only take two years at most, and then find another job.

The workers said: "I've heard that the county plans to designate a new village, and then we can open up wasteland." At least they have been outside for a while, and they said: "The new village will open up wasteland and cultivate land, and there will be no tax for the first three years." They never dreamed that they could still use the fields. Tian had a temper a few years ago, and it would be great if he could get over his temper.No matter how well fertilized it can become a fertile field.

The new village is prepared for outsiders and county residents who can endure hardships. There are also people in the county who have no house or land, so why not spend a few years to save up for yourself!

Lin Laosan was also moved when he heard what they said.People who have resisted sandbags like them have suffered.Lin Laosan's family is not big, and now the eldest brother has married his sister-in-law, and it is not enough to have a baby in a few years.We can't have all our nephews and nieces crowded together in the future.He might as well go out together, and get along with these workers, so that when they are together, they can be taken care of.

"This magistrate is so kind." They couldn't help but praise after a few days, such a magistrate is rare.If you meet that bad magistrate, you won't let others touch it even if you rot the land there.

……

Fang Shujing is trying cases in the yamen. Since the abolition of the need to sue for boarding, there have been many cases, but most of them are contradictory issues.As long as it is not a major problem and the law is not touched, mediation is still the main method.

After mediating two couples all morning, it was over. When Fang Shujing returned to the house at noon, the servant had already packed the lunch boxes: "My lord, this is the abalone rice that the cook specially made." Eating fresh aquatic products is all foreign.The cook also knows the hard work of the people in the county, and cooks things in different ways every day!

Knowing that Fang Shujing would take the food box to Jishitang to have dinner with the county magistrate's wife, he would prepare everything well every time.

Fang Shujing said: "Understood." He went out with the lunch box.

At noon, there were only a few drug boys and assistants in Jishitang. When they saw the county magistrate coming, they said, "Doctor Xiaoliu is inside." They all knew the relationship between the two.

Fang Shujing went in with his hands. As soon as he entered, he saw a large room full of people. Chunni and the other two girls were carrying a lot of things.

Little Hawthorn, dressed in spirit and beauty, is acting like a baby in Liu Yechen's arms: "Ah..."

Seeing Fang Shujing, Chunni said: "My lord, the young master is making a lot of noise, so we brought him here." Little Shanzha still looks for someone sometimes.They didn't dare to disturb Fang Shujing's handling of the case, so they had to bring it to Liu Yechen.

Liu Yechen immediately raised his head when he heard that, and Little Shanzha was also very happy to see him.

Seeing this, the maids hurriedly retreated, they were all used to not needing to be waited upon when the family of three was around.

Fang Shujing changed the clothes of the county magistrate, brought the son over, nodded his face, and said, "You're disobedient."

No matter what Fang Shujing said, Little Hawthorn would always laugh, like a cutie.

Originally, Fang Shujing wanted to criticize his son, but Zai Zai smiled so milkyly that he couldn't help but kissed him, and his son's face was really soft and bouncy.
