Otherworldly Days

Chapter 405 Receiving

There was a moment of silence in the room. These men who followed from thousands of miles looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't seem to believe that such a good thing happened to them. Can this money be taken for nothing?Someone began to make a sound, and then there was a murmur of speaking.

Looking around, there are at least 30 to 100 people here, Cao Xiangnan took out a 100 tael bank note from his arms, and said, "There are [-] taels here, five taels for each person, I will never break my promise, Those of you who want to leave will take the money and leave, and those who stay will be arranged according to the situation of each of you, and there will be monthly money every month in the future. The amount of the monthly money depends on your ability. The limit is half a year, If you can't do it well, I'll ask you to go!"

So it's not that I'm keeping you here today, you can stay in the future, but whether you can stay or not depends entirely on your own efforts.

A man with a broken arm was pushed out from the crowd. He had a dark face that couldn't be seen clearly, with protruding forehead, and a pair of eyes shining with determination, and said, "I, I am from Niujia Village. , Bull Terrier, can I stay and work without an arm? Can my brother stay without a leg? "

"Yes!" Cao Xiangnan said with a smile, "Do what you can do as long as you can. As long as you are willing to stay, those who are willing to work, and those who are not lazy, I welcome you to stay."

"Okay, I'll just say this to you, brothers stay here!" A big man behind said, and the men following him all responded one after another, saying to stay, and no one proposed to go back to their hometown.

Many of them were pushed out to join the army because their families were poor and had many brothers, and they were not liked by their parents.Now that they are injured and go back to their hometown, the brothers may not be happy to see them go back, let alone whether they can return to their hometown alive without anyone taking care of them along the way.It's better to stay here with everyone, and at least not starve to death with a mouthful of food, work harder, maybe they can really save some money, build a house in this Cao's village and marry a wife.

"Okay! Brothers, stay here. With me, Wang Dahu, you will be able to eat at one bite in the future." Wang Dahu patted his chest to assure, and the next second his face changed, and his bull's eyes widened and he warned, "But if someone comes here Those who listen to Cao Xiaodong’s family, and those who are lazy in doing things, don’t blame me for dealing with you according to the military law!”

"Yes!" Qiqi replied, "We must obey Cao Xiaodong's arrangement."

Hearing everyone's words, Cao Xiangnan laughed.

The food cooked in the kitchen has started to cook. The cooked brown rice, a large pot of white radish and boiled meat, are delicious, and then a large plate of hot and sour kimchi. The group of men find a place to sit down and serve I started to eat the big bowl, gobbled it up, and thought I was hungry.

While they were eating, Cao Xiangnan discussed with Cao Gang how to arrange these people.

Now that it's winter, it's natural for such a group of people to consider their basic necessities of life.Fortunately, they have prepared a lot of food for the winter, so they can share some of it first, and then see if they can buy more from the shops in the town. After this winter, they must ensure that everyone can have enough food. So if you eat it, it can be solved.

In terms of living, he built a dormitory for the workers on the other side of the workshop. Now that the work is suspended, there are no people living there, and those who are far away have rushed home. The vacant house can accommodate these people.

These people are all wearing thin clothes. Now that the weather is cold, it is necessary to buy clothes for everyone, and the quilts covered in winter are also indispensable.All the ready-made quilts in the garment workshop were sold out. Cao Xiangnan remembered that there were still unprocessed materials left, and the garment workshop shut down after winter.

"I'll go to Li Mei and Wu Yue to discuss it with Li Mei and Wu Yue tomorrow morning. I saw that the garment workshop started to make a batch of clothes and quilts. I think there are still some woolen materials." As long as the garment workshop starts work, Clothes and quilts will be available soon, Cao Xiangnan said.

Originally, the buddies in the garment workshop said to start working in winter, but after careful consideration, he vetoed the matter.Now is not the time, the goods cannot be transported to Nanyang City, Cao Xiangnan is worried that there are too many places where the goods are produced, and the goods will not be sold, which will cause the capital turnover in his hands to be ineffective, which will be troublesome.

But if it is necessary now, you can let Li Mei and the conveners come back and start working to make a batch of clothes. If there are too many clothes, they can be transported to the town to sell when the snow stops a year ago. go out.

There must be a shortage of people in his several workshops, besides his own Caojia Village, he also recruited some people from nearby villages.But if you have a group of your own people, some things are always much more convenient, and you don't have to worry about leaking the secrets.But now that several workshops are closed and there is no work to do, these people will be settled first, and the subsequent work will be arranged separately.

"Well, good." Cao Gang felt a kind of debt to these wounded soldiers in his heart. As a general, he always had his helplessness in doing things.He never thought that he would have the opportunity to help these soldiers today, and it was all thanks to Cao Xiangnan. He said sincerely in his heart, "Xiangnan, thank you for today's matter."

"Why do you say these kind words between brothers?" Cao Xiangnan glanced at Cao Gang, then at Liu Baishu, and said with a smile, "I also want to thank you for bringing so many good workers here, don't say thank you No thanks, brothers do work together and make money together."

If there are fewer people, you can make a little money, and if you have a lot of people, you can make a lot of money.

The arrival of this group of people is not a bad thing. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if these people are missing a hand or a hand is broken, if they can survive to this day, they will definitely not lose to ordinary people.What he lacks most now is people. To have people is to have someone to help him make money together.

Behind every successful boss, there must be thousands of employees who fight for him, and it is impossible to earn hundreds of millions of dollars by relying on the strength of one person.Cao Xiangnan never asked for how much money he could make, all he wanted was to live a good life.

Liu Baishu showed a smile on his face. If you want to say that these people can fight well, but if you want to live a good life, there are really few people who can live a good life.But Cao Xiangnan Yiyi is the opposite of them, this person can start from nothing and live a better and better life step by step.

This Caojia Village might be their hope.

"Brother Cao Gang, let's talk about the rest tomorrow." Seeing that it was getting late, this group of people had finished eating two large pots of food in the blink of an eye. He could eat, let alone a group of people came now, he still went back and thought about how to house these people, and wanted to get through this winter.

"Take everyone to live there first." So many people can't live in such a house, let alone Sun Bailian is still pregnant and has a child at home. After all, there are some inconveniences. Where to live, take it there to live.

"Okay." Cao Gang nodded and responded.

Fortunately, the houses built behind have taken into account the coldness in winter. There are fireplaces inside. Once the fireplace is heated up, the house will be warmed up. If the doors and windows are closed in winter, you won’t feel too cold inside.

It was still snowing outside at night, but luckily the snow was not too heavy. After walking all the way in the snow, I was going to be freezing when I got home.

"Where did you go, Fulang? How did you freeze like this?" Qi Wanfeng waited for Fulang at home and didn't fall asleep. His lips were turning purple, so he quickly pulled Fulang to sit in front of the fireplace, poured hot water into the bowl, put it in Fulang's hand, and urged, "Drink it quickly."

Teeth chattering up and down, Cao Xiangnan took the bowl, took two breaths, and poured scalding water into his mouth.Seeing Wan Feng covering his hands with his hands, he said quickly, "No, my hands are cold."

"I warm my hands, and I'll warm you up." Holding Fulang's hand, Qi Wanfeng felt distressed, "Aren't you going to see Bai Shu and Dahu, why don't you go outside to blow the cold wind?" He angrily asked Fulang.

"Yes, I went to see Bai Shu and Da Hu." Seeing Wan Feng glaring at him, Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but smile, and explained, "They also brought a few brothers over, and brought them to live in the house over the workshop. "

So it's not a walk back and forth in the cold wind, it's a really cold day.

Afraid that Wanfeng would be worried, Cao Xiangnan didn't say anything about the people he brought, he only said that they were a few brothers, but Wanfeng will definitely know when he meets them later, so let's talk about it at that time.

Sitting in front of the fire for a while, his whole body warmed up.

The two of them held hands together, his hand was so cold, even if he told him to let go of Wanfeng, he wouldn't let it go.Lowering his head, Cao Xiangnan took the hand in his hand and kissed it.His hand was kissed by Fu Lang, Qi Wanfeng's eyes widened, and his face suddenly turned red. He wanted to take back his book, but Fu Lang held his hand and couldn't pull it out, "Okay, okay, your hand It's warmed up, so let it go," he said.

"Hmm, I still want to hold it, but I don't want to let it go." Just now I told you not to hold it but you insisted on holding it, now you want to let go and I don't want to let it go, Cao Xiangnan had a smirk on his face.Seeing the person in front of him glaring at him, he pulled the person into his arms with force, and hugged him into his arms.

Qi Wanfeng didn't break free either, and nestled in Fu Lang's arms obediently.

The whistling wind from the outside couldn't blow into the room. Under the firelight, the two people were building together, their shadows intertwined, and there was no distinction between you and me.

This night, a group of men who had a shelter studied the burning stove curiously. Once the stove was lit, the whole house was warmed up, which was much better than when they were in the army.

They don't worry that after dawn, they will freeze into a corpse and never wake up again.

The sound of talking at night, they were talking about this new place, and they all had expectations in their hearts. As the night gradually deepened, the sound of talking in the room disappeared.
