Chapter 47 Accident
We must take the matter of promoting local economic development quickly and we cannot do it slowly. He can wait, but many ordinary people here cannot wait.
After this busy period, I will report to Lord Yang to see if I can raise some funds first and develop handicrafts.
When people in their spare time have something to do, they can get a fixed income every day, and their living conditions will naturally improve.
"Brother, the old man knows that you are so relieved to the old man, but the old man likes to listen." After that, Old Man Gao laughed a few times.
Well, this is not trusting yourself!
Yes, he just said nonsense, no one can believe it, right?
Some things need to be done and you can't just say them with your mouth.
"Gao Jia, in another year or two, we will definitely be a good place here. With water trucks, the yield of these fields will increase. At that time, we can plant more crops and life will definitely be better."
"Yes, yes!"
When the sun set, there were already five people following Zhu Kuang. Gao Yuhe, the oldest, was 58 years old and the youngest, Lu Zhuzi, who was only seventeen years old this year, which was a little younger than Zhu Kuang.
These people wanted to help Zhu Kuang do something, so they followed Zhu Kuang. Zhu Kuang could not bear the enthusiasm of these people, but could only accept it.
I can't refuse, but I can only take it behind me.
Not to mention, those who dare to recommend themselves are all real skills, such as Lu Zhuzi, who is not old, but has a very good aquatic nature.
In some areas, Zhu Kuang was unable to determine the situation underwater, so Lu Zhuzi went into the water to understand the situation underwater and told Zhu Kuang that he would make a decision based on the situation he was exploring.
After walking for more than 40 miles, Zhukuang found four places that are very suitable for installing water trucks. There are five places that only need to be slightly repaired and are suitable for loading water trucks. As for other places, it is a little difficult to clean up. Zhukuang only simply marked them on the sketch.
[New ] As of now, these points that can load water trucks are enough.
With the last stroke on the drawing, Zhu Kuang carefully put away the piece of paper that was about to be broken and put it in his arms.
He has a very good memory. Even if he doesn't draw it, he can accurately find the place when he sets up the water truck. The reason he has to draw it first is to draw the structure diagram of the canal later.
After all this picture was drawn, I handed it over to Lord Xiang, which looked clearer and clearer.
"Master Gao, let's go back. It's getting late!" Zhu Kuang looked at the sun with only a ray of light, so he spoke.
"Zhong, let's go home first, and wait until tomorrow to see other places!" Old man Gao's bronze-colored old face was full of brilliant light.
Zhu Kuang looked at such a kind and respectable old man and didn't know what to say. The old man's house did not have a lot of land. The family of seven people had only a dozen acres of land. When the water truck was built, the only effect was only this, but the old man helped him enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work in the Gao family, and thank you for your hard work in the uncles and brothers Zhuzi, too." Zhu Kuang sincerely thanked the others.
"What are you saying about Brother Zhu? It's all for us to live a good life. Brother, you have worked so hard. We will come back tomorrow morning!"
Zhu Kuang wanted to refuse, but someone spoke again and said, "Brother Zhu, don't think we are useless. We just want to do something."
After saying this, Zhu Kuang was really hard to refute, so he could only respond.
"Zhong, everyone gathers at my noodle restaurant tomorrow morning, and they all know where the place is?" Zhu Kuang asked.
"I know, I've gone to eat it twice, it tastes so good."
"I heard that it's delicious, but I haven't eaten it yet!" Lu Zhuzi said with a silly smile.
His family has poor conditions, so he has no money to eat in the noodle restaurant. He can satisfy his ability to have a bite of porridge and drink wine.
"Tomorrow you come to my noodle restaurant for breakfast, which is just the soup noodles? I don't want your money. In addition to noodles, one person will eat two eggs. If you are full, we can transfer to several more places tomorrow?"
"That's fine. We are not working for Brother Zhu, and we can't eat at Brother Zhu's house." Gao Yuhe said quickly.
"Yes, what Gao Dad said is that we can't eat Brother Zhu for nothing."
"It's okay, it's just a few bowls of noodles. It's not a treat to you to the noodles. Besides, I'll be busy for a day tomorrow, so it won't be enough to not eat enough. I won't care about dinner, I must care about breakfast."
Everyone agreed when they saw Zhu Kuang’s honest words.
After the matter was settled, everyone went home.
When Zhu Kuang arrived home, he found that there was no smile on his mother and sister's faces.
Moreover, their eyes were red, as if they had cried, especially Ying Niang's eyes, which were red.
"Mom, sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Kuan'er is back?" Mi tried hard to squeeze out a little smile so that her son would not worry, but he didn't squeeze out.
"Brother, brother!" Ying Niang couldn't help crying when she saw Zhu Kuang, she covered her eyes with her hands and whimpered!
"But someone came to the store to make trouble? Or was someone bullying you? Are you okay?"
Since the last time the little gangsters made a fuss, Zhu Kuang has never taken those people to heart again, thinking that they will no longer come to their homes to make trouble.
But I didn't expect that I could be bullied by doing things in the yamen.
"No, brother, no." Ying Niang said sobly. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Things are certainly not simple.
Mi hesitated for a while before he told Zhu Kuang about the matter.
It turned out that after they closed the shop at noon, someone came while they were pushing the mill. It was a matchmaker, saying that he was a matchmaker for Yingniang.
Mi said that his daughter is still in the filial piety period and does not intend to talk about marriage for the time being.
Who would have thought that the matchmaker said that it was because seeing the girl Zhu’s good looks, she planned to make a decision first and did not rush to pass the door.
She originally thought that this was pretty good.
Ying Niang's marriage was something she had always worried about, and she was worried that her daughter would have been delayed for two years and would not be able to find a good family when she was old. She could make a decision first. After she was filial, she would have no worries.
Because of this idea, Mi asked the matchmaker to sit down and asked the matchmaker a few more questions.
It would be fine if I didn’t ask, but after asking, Mi Shi was completely in a bad mood!
"Who knows, the matchmaker Wang said that she was sent by the county magistrate's wife, and Yingniang wanted to go to the county magistrate's mansion to be a concubine in two years!" Mi Shi couldn't help crying as she said.
"The matchmaker Wang also said that if he doesn't agree, he will let his brother stay in the yamen and let our shop close." Yingniang added.
Mi was frightened by this. If his son could not continue to work in the yamen, the shop could not be managed, so how could the family of three survive?
