Chapter 109

A table was set up in front of the door, with rice, tofu, etc. on it, and incense sticks, and the snake was placed in front of it. The old man muttered something, set off a string of firecrackers, and splashed the tea, rice, tofu, etc. on the ground, and motioned Wei Jingze to get the snake away.Wei Jingze rode a tricycle to the east of the village. The car couldn't go, so he carried the bucket and walked along the mountain road. When he got to a remote enough place, he dumped all the snakes in the grass, and the snakes roamed around on the ground for a while. After that, he swam away in all directions.

Wei Jingze breathed a sigh of relief, came back with a few empty buckets, found a tricycle and rode back.

This incident has also become news in the village.

When building a house, people often dig out foundations and things like that. When expanding the area of ​​the homestead, some strange things will also be dug up. Some people will dig out broken boxes, some people will dig out things like antiques, and some people will dig out a big tank—— That was the toilet that was installed before.Digging out snakes is nothing new, but with so many snakes, it is still very interesting.

Some people say that snakes represent wealth, which means that Wei Jingze's family is about to prosper, while others say that snakes represent bad luck. Wei Jingze's family dug up the snake's nest to build a house, and they came back to take revenge.

However, in Wei Jingze's view, snakes are just snakes, and they don't have so many special abilities. It's just that people are good at associating, so they like to connect unrelated things together.

This incident also reminded everyone of many old things.

"In Chenjia'ao in the mountains, they had a house built, and they dug out a tombstone. The two children of the family have both been admitted to college, and now they have taken their parents to live in the city! Where is the bad luck?"

"Also, didn't there used to be a man named Zeng Lasheng? His family built a house and dug up a lot of snakes. As a result, the snakes were killed. His family didn't have any good results."

"Then the third master's family let all the snakes go, it must be a good deed?"

"It's hard to say, this kind of thing is not reasonable."

There was a lot of discussion in the village about this matter. In fact, most of them still wished their family well, because now the interests of the whole village were tied to Wei Jingze, and if something happened, the livelihood of the whole village would be affected.Even if it's for their own livelihood, everyone doesn't want anything to happen to the grandpa and grandson.

Wei Jingze didn't take things too seriously, he just let life go his way.

Pan Zhuangniu went to Wei Jingze and asked, "Xiao Ze, is your family looking for someone to take care of the chickens?"

Wei Jingze was overjoyed and asked, "What? Can you introduce me?"

Pan Zhuangniu said: "I want to explain this to you clearly. I have a sister who was married in the early years and had a bad life. It is not a good thing to meet a man. She drank pesticide and died in a fit of anger, leaving behind a son. After her husband remarried, she had a stepmother. Because the stepmother didn't take good care of her, the child had a high fever and burned her brain. The fifth grade was repeated several times, and he stumbled and finished elementary school. There was no school in the junior high school, so he came back to work. His kid, except for his slow mind, is still good at work. Speaking of which, he is also my nephew. If he works with you , I can take care of it too."

Wei Jingze didn't expect Pan Zhuangniu's family to have such a past, and said, "I want to ask my grandfather about this, and I'll get back to you after I ask them. What do you think?"

Pan Zhuangniu hurriedly said: "That's fine, your grandfather knows about him, and I have no other requirements, just let him earn some money by himself, keep it by himself, have some wealth, don't be called around like a dog all the time of."

Wei Jingze could imagine the life of a child with a stepmother without his biological mother, especially when his biological father was not responsible, and said, "If you do a good job, of course the salary will not be bad."

Pan Zhuangniu agreed happily.

Wei Jingze brought this matter home and told the old man. The old man recalled it, sighed, and said, "That was also a poor child. He was really smart in his early years. He came to grandma's house with his mother and called That's a great shout."

Wei Jingze said, "Then what do you mean?"

The old man said: "I think I can try it first. If it doesn't work, let's talk to Zhuang Niu. Zhuang Niu is not an ignorant person. You must remember to talk to Xiao Jiang as well."

The old man is now slowly accepting Jiang Yanzong as a member of the family, and Wei Jingze remembers to discuss some things with Jiang Yanzong.

Of course Wei Jingze remembered to tell Jiang Yanzong, and Jiang Yanzong said: "If there is no problem with the ability to act, of course it will be fine. Maybe his uncle's family can solve the problem of board and lodging."

Jiang Yanzong also nodded, this matter was unanimously approved, Wei Jingze asked Pan Zhuangniu to find his nephew first, try to get started first, see if he can take good care of the chicken, and then try it out for a while, if there are no major problems, You can officially start working.

Pan Zhuangniu was very happy, and said: "Whether this matter is successful or not, thank you, and my sister will also thank you."

Wei Jingze didn't know what would happen to Pan Zhuangniu's sister, but an uncle like Pan Zhuangniu was still admirable.

Pan Zhuangniu was very fast and picked up his nephew that day.

When Wei Jingze saw the young man for the first time, he really felt that his eyes lit up. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was born well, but the expression on his face was a bit silly. If this child grew up healthy and healthy, he probably would It won't be a bad mix!It's all his father's fault.

Pan Zhuangniu said: "This kid has a slow mind, but he can still work and count. He is good at addition and subtraction, and he still remembers it very well. Congcong, his name is Brother Ze."

The kid named Liang Cong called Brother Ze, and Wei Jingze responded, saying, "I can't live here, so he can only live in your house."

Pan Zhuangniu said: "He lives at my house and eats at my house, don't worry about that."

Wei Jingze nodded and said, "Well, it's better to follow you than to have dinner with a group of strangers. He will try it out for two months. If there is no problem, he will become a regular with a basic salary of [-]."

Pan Zhuangniu is very satisfied, and now people may not be able to find a job with such a salary when they go to the town.

So Liang Cong went straight to work.

Seeing that Pan Zhuangniu was about to leave, Liang Cong was a little anxious and called out, "Uncle!"

Pan Zhuangniu was helpless, and said: "Congcong, you work here, I will ask you to go back to eat at night, I told you."

It took Liang Cong a while to react, and he looked aggrieved.

Pan Zhuangniu had no choice but to say goodbye to Wei Jingze, and left cruelly.

Liang Cong wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, he looked really pitiful.

Wei Jingze tried to soften his attitude, and said, "Congcong, come with me, let's go see the chicken first."

Liang Cong followed Wei Jingze very reluctantly. A child like him must have suffered a lot of scolding and discrimination, so he was very afraid of contacting and getting along with strangers. His experience told him that strangers generally have no good attitude. , so he was very scared and very defensive.

Wei Jingze brought Liang Cong to the chicken coop. There were hundreds of chickens scattered all over the chicken coop. This place can accommodate [-] chickens, but now there are only a few hundred, so it looks very empty.

Wei Jingze took him into the chicken coop and told him: "All you have to do is pick up the eggs, put them in a basket, and then tell me how many there are. The house must be cleaned, and there must be no such chicken droppings." .In the morning, count how many chickens there are when you let them out, and how many chickens are there when you return them to the cage at night. Then feed them three times a day and change their water, can you do it?"

Liang Cong looked left and right, tapped his fingers little by little, and finally nodded as if he had confirmed what he was going to do, and then asked weakly: "If I forget, can you do it again?" Tell me once?"

The cautious look is really distressing.

This child needs to do a lot of repetitive content before he can remember his own things, so he appears to be slow to respond.

"Of course, you can learn to do it."

So, Liang Cong went to pick up the eggs first. Seeing the child pick up an egg and run back to the basket to put it in, he couldn't laugh or cry, he was really stupid.

Wei Jingze took the basket, walked over, picked up all the eggs, put them in the basket, and said, "You can do this, as long as you don't break the eggs."

Liang Cong took the basket, touched his head, and said, "I'm just a little stupid."

Others said he was stupid, but he was a slow learner himself, so he himself accepted the fact that he was stupid.

Wei Jingze didn't have much time to explain to him, so he said, "That's okay, you pick up the eggs first, then clean them later, and put all the chicken feces into the dustpan. Remember?"

Liang Cong repeated it several times before he nodded and said, "I remember."

Wei Jingze patted him on the shoulder helplessly, turned around and went out to work by himself.

Da Yu and Da Lei are guarding the chicken coop now, Wei Jingze let the two dogs know Liang Cong, and the two dogs smelled Liang Cong, as if they remembered his smell.

Wei Jingze and the village head had also made an appointment to discuss the matter of digging a canal this autumn and winter, so they didn't stay long, and went to the village head's house first.

Drains often need to be repaired, just like the drainage ditch near the house, there is often accumulation of silt, dead branches and leaves, which are easy to silt, so they often need to be dredged.Although Chashui Village is adjacent to the river, the canal is an important channel for water diversion, and the rice depends on the canal to attract water.

Digging and repairing ditches is an act of the village, so every family has to provide labor. If they can’t provide labor, they have to pay the corresponding wages. This is fair to everyone, and it is necessary to plan the time and finish it before the cold weather. Engineering, everyone can suffer less.

These are done according to the rules of previous years.

Wei Jingze asked: "Our village still has money, can we paste the canals with cement?"

The canals in Damiwan are covered with cement, so there is no need for frequent repairs. In the past, the village had no money, no cement and sand, but now that they have money, they can certainly pay for these things.

The village chief nodded and said, "We can ask everyone what they think about this matter, and see if everyone is willing. The aqueduct in our village is quite long, and it will take some effort."

"If you put in more effort now, it will save you in the future," Wei Jingze said.
