Chapter 439 Changes in the Villagers
After discussing business matters, they naturally didn't split the profits. Fang Tong said there was no rush, and Wu Dongjia didn't force it.
Qian Fengping prepared the meal and the two children helped serve the dishes with skillful movements.
Even Wu Dongjia felt moved when he saw this, thinking that Fang Tong was really good at teaching children.
Too sensible.
After lunch, Wu Dongjia took a quick look at the oven and left.
Although he didn't get any advantage today, Wu Dongjia was in a good mood in the carriage.
Fang Tong was in a bad mood. He took advantage of the nap time to be intimate with his wife for a while, and then he had to leave.
Now the watermelon and strawberry seeds have been planted.
Now that we have some time, we have to take them to build a stove.
After finishing the stove, the next thing to do was to harvest the winter wheat. It was very busy.
The people of the entire Mushan Village were also murmuring behind the scenes. Fang Tong and his gang of scoundrels used to be thieves and never did any real work, and were hated by everyone.
When it was brought up, they all shook their heads and used it to teach their children that if they were disobedient, they would become like Fang Tong in the future.
Now they have become the most hardworking people in the village.
This honest guy works in the fields every day and is more dedicated than the old hands who have been farming for a lifetime.
So, how did they become like this? Or did they misjudge the person before?
Before they could figure it out, their own children started to act up.
"Dad, I'm not going to school today. I'm going to the mountains to dig bird holes!" said a naughty child with his head tilted back.
His father had already taken off one of his shoes: "Come on, say it again?"
The naughty child timidly hid back for a moment, but still said confidently: "Dad, I'm doing this for my own good. I'm a little naughty now, but I'll change when I grow up. I can also farm well and make money, and then I can marry you two daughters-in-law."
His father was so angry that he laughed. He even had two daughters-in-law. No, were the daughters-in-law married to him?
Just throw the shoes away. If you don’t punish him for three days, he will start to tear apart the roof!
The screams of the naughty children were heard in the yard.
Things are not peaceful at the village chief's house next door either.
The old village chief smoked a cigarette and looked towards the center of the yard with a frown.
Originally, Fang Tong didn't cause him any trouble during this period, so his life finally became peaceful.
Now the house is in turmoil.
"What did you say? You don't want to learn carpentry anymore? You want to go back to the village to work for Fang Tonggan? Dig a pond for him?" The village chief's wife was so angry that her fingers were shaking.
The eldest grandson of the old village chief, Du Yaozu, is already fourteen years old and tall, so he can be considered half an adult.
"So what? My mother used to make cakes for Uncle Fang's family, but now she's working in the city."
Unlike him, he said he was going to be an apprentice, but he hasn't learned anything real in half a year.
His master was always on guard against him, and he was often bullied by his fellow brothers. Going hungry and being beaten were common occurrences for him.
The village chief's wife opened her mouth to say something, but when she thought of Fang Tong's success, she changed her words.
"That's different. Your mother learned the art of cake making so she can have a job."
"Look at Tiezhu and the others. Without any skills, they couldn't make a living and now they can only farm."
"My family used their connections and spent a lot of money to find a way to send it to the carpenter's shop. Now that you're quitting, all that money is wasted."
Du Yaozu raised his chin and said stubbornly, "Grandma, you don't understand. My Uncle Fang Tong is so righteous that he even made arrangements for my mother and the others. How could he ignore Uncle Tiezhu?"
"Who knows, one day Uncle Fang Tong might help them make a lot of money."
The village head's wife had nothing to say.
No one knew it before, but now everyone in the village can see that Fang Tong is a truly righteous man.
"Besides, didn't Uncle Dacheng and Brother Xiaohu quit their stable jobs to follow Uncle Fang Tong? It shows that there are tricks in this kind of land." Du Yaozu's words were well-founded.
He asked Cheng Xiaohu about all these.
Cheng Xiaohu is not much older than him, and the two of them can talk to each other very well.
"Even if there's a way, they've almost finished planting their fields. What are you doing back now? Digging a pond? What's the point of digging that?"
The village head's wife was very angry and felt that it was difficult to manage children when they grew up.
No, she is already that old.
My grandson should be taken care of by my daughter-in-law. But when I think about it, my daughter-in-law is still making money in the county, so I have no choice but to accept it.
"Uncle Fang Tong said that we should dig it out, plant lotus roots and raise fish in it. It will be very useful!" Du Yaozu said seriously.
It doesn’t take long to dig a pond, but Uncle Fang Tong has so much land to farm.
Don't people still need to fertilize, water, weed, and harvest in autumn?
The village chief's wife couldn't argue with him. She turned around and saw the village chief who looked fine. She said, "Old man, you only care about those little tobaccos. You don't care about the family affairs at all. Why did I follow you?"
Old Village Chief: ...
We've been together all our lives, and we still use these two sentences when we quarrel.
He was too lazy to argue with the old woman, so he tapped the ground with his pipe and said, "Yaozu, can't you continue your carpentry work?"
He knew his eldest grandson well enough and knew he was not the kind of person who would fish for three days and rest for two days.
Du Yaozu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and rolled up his sleeves.
There are red marks of various sizes on my arms, which hurt just by looking at them.
"What's going on?" The village chief's wife became anxious.
"Grandma, the master beats people if they do something wrong or if he's drunk. I had a senior brother who was crippled by him."
"It was only when the senior brother came to visit that the master finally gave in and was willing to teach him his best skills. Now, in the shop, only that senior brother can learn the real skills."
Du Yaozu couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. How could he not feel aggrieved after being bullied for half a year?
He also knew that it was not easy for his family to let him be an apprentice, so he would accept any scolding he received.
But you can't risk your life or a leg.
"Damn it! How could you treat my child like this? If you don't want to teach my child, don't accept him." The village chief's wife was heartbroken and turned back to the house to get the ointment.
The old village chief's face also darkened. He stood up, touched the wound on his grandson's body, and lifted up his trouser legs to take a look.
There are also!
My heart immediately sank: "Old woman, don't give me any more medicine, please ask Doctor Gu to take a look."
Then he looked at his grandson and said distressedly, "You silly boy, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Du Yaozu lowered his head and said nothing.
The old village chief felt a little pain in his heart. He was the eldest grandson of the Du family, and as his grandfather, he had never been willing to touch him since he was a child.
"Okay, from now on you can follow Fang Tonggan, and your family won't stop you."
"Okay, grandpa, I'll be diligent! I promise not to embarrass you." Du Yaozu smiled.
The old village chief became even more angry and turned around to find his son Du Youcai.
His grandson is in such a state, and his father has no idea about it and is still messing around with that little piece of land!
