Chapter 137 Everyone Moves into the New House
After making these preparations, Mr. Gu said again: "It's good that we have discussed it, but the details still depend on their opinions. If they don't want to do it, we can't force them."
"Yes, we know, Dad." Gu Dahai and others responded.
"Okay, Dahe, go tell everyone to gather on the grass outside the tent tomorrow morning. We'll tell the villagers about these arrangements." Everyone agreed.
The next morning, everyone received the news and gathered on the grassland.
Mr. Gu smiled and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, through everyone's efforts, our house will soon be ready for occupancy."
"Before, everyone was busy building houses, and in order to save time, we lent everyone grain. Now the house has been built. We just need to wait for it to dry before we can move in. Everyone will start their new life soon."
"We don't want everyone to start a new life with debts, so the whole family discussed and wanted to ask everyone to work, or everyone can go to the mountains, woods, or bamboo forests to find supplies to exchange for the next food and repay previous debts."
As Grandpa Gu spoke, he motioned for Gu Dajiang to open the job posting and said, "This is the work our family needs, and the corresponding wages, you can take a look. Of course, our family is just like everyone else, we are relatively poor now, so we decided to use bamboo pieces to represent silver."
As Mr. Gu spoke, he took out the bamboo strips he had prepared at home.
I saw thin bamboo pieces, one end of which was dyed with a bright color, emitting a brilliant brilliance under the light.
This is the colorful nail polish that Gu Fu specially took out from the space and applied it on the bamboo slips.
As soon as this bamboo piece came out, some people immediately dispelled the idea of cheating.
The main problem is the color, no one has ever seen it, let alone dyed it.
At this time, Mr. Gu said again: "Everyone can see if there is a job that suits you. If you want to do something, you can come to Dajiang to sign up. Dajiang will also record and settle the results of your daily work."
After hearing this, everyone went to look at the job postings.
It said that one basket for quarrying stones took five bamboo pieces, one basket for chopping wood took three bamboo pieces, one piece of embroidery took two bamboo pieces, and washing, cutting, and boiling fruits took two bamboo pieces.
Two bamboo strips are needed for spinning, and one bamboo strip is needed for picking flowers. Medicinal materials are purchased at actual prices and replaced with bamboo strips. Five bamboo strips can be exchanged for two kilograms of rice.
After seeing this, everyone expressed their willingness to pay off the debt through labor.
Everyone responded positively and expressed their willingness to work hard to pay off their debts before the New Year and have a comfortable and prosperous new year.
Next, everyone gathered around the job posting to choose a job that suits them.
After being selected, they went to Gu Dajiang to register, and then started to form a team to work.
Everyone was busy, and the valley was full of life and vigor again.
In a corner where no one can see.
The square-faced man said angrily while working: "I knew that the Gu family was hypocritical!" As he spoke, he hit the stone wall hard with a hammer.
He continued, "At the beginning, it was the general who entrusted them to take care of us. I don't know how much benefit the Gu family received from him in secret. But what about them? How did they take care of us?"
"After we entered the valley, we were taken care of by his family. We built the brick kiln with great effort, and we also made the bricks and cement ourselves."
"We built the house with our own efforts, but his family sent a teenager to give orders. Our brick kiln and cement kiln have become his property."
"We've only rested for a few days, and they've started assigning work again?"
"They keep saying they're doing this for our own good! They're just a bunch of hypocritical villains." The square-faced man became more and more angry as he spoke. The hammer made a loud bang.
The thin and long-faced man snorted coldly: "Do you want to call everyone here?"
"Brother, I'm just angry!" said the square-faced man.
"So what do you want to do?" asked the thin-faced man.
The square-faced man whispered something in the thin-faced man's ear, saying this and that.
The thin and long-faced man grinned and said, "Be calm, don't be anxious, and observe for a while."
"Brother..." the square-faced man said anxiously.
"Just work hard." The thin and long-faced man stopped talking and continued to hammer stones.
Everyone was working hard, and the sound of hammers hitting stones could be heard in the stone forest. No one noticed the brothers' plan.
After everyone's hard work, the house and simple furniture were finally dried, and people could finally move into their new home.
Through the hard work during this period, everyone paid off the grain they owed to the Gu family and now had enough food at home.
Song Renjing and Duan Shuhuan also grew taller, stronger and stronger through labor.
Song Renjing built a small courtyard near Duan's house, which was also two-story.
The Gu family also opened a grocery store, initially for the convenience of recording everyone's daily work.
Gradually, some people needed to buy small items, and the goods were added little by little.
The most popular one is the hair care set, which includes shampoo, shower gel, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush and laundry detergent. It not only cleans your hair, but also leaves a long-lasting fragrance.
The key is that it is very cheap. Ordinary bath beans are sold for half a tael of silver outside, and the cleaning effect is not good. Nowadays, such a good bath set only costs ten bamboo pieces.
Moreover, the work assigned by the Gu family can always be done, everyone will always have an income, and each household has basically achieved freedom of purchase of a toiletries set.
On the day of moving, everyone in the Gu family got up early and dressed in new clothes.
According to the grocery store's records, we prepared urgently needed items for each family as gifts.
After receiving the gifts, each family thanked the Gu family for their thoughtfulness.
But in the eyes of those who are interested, this is a kind of deterrence, as if everything is under the control of the Gu family.
It also invisibly suppressed some people's little thoughts.
Everyone looked at their new houses and were very happy.
Sunlight streamed through the windows onto the floor, and the air was filled with the smell of fresh wood.
It was an ordinary morning, but for the people in Weng County, it was a special day - they finally moved into their long-awaited new home.
Although this place is simple, it is the beginning of their new life. The kitchen utensils and tableware that were originally borrowed from Gu's family were also exchanged for bamboo strips by each family and became their own.
Everyone calmly placed the casserole in their own kitchen.
Looking through the open window at the people across the street who were as excited as I was, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.
The orphans' houses are furnished with modern, simple bunk beds for children.
Time was tight, so I just made a solid wood one. No carving, no dyeing, just the original wood color.
However, when the children saw the beds with stairs, they all scrambled to stay on the upper bunk, and each of them loved the bed very much.
From top to bottom, from old to young, everyone was happy and very satisfied with their house.
Although the furniture is simple, they can be gradually added to in the future. Everyone is full of hope for the future.
On this morning full of love and hope, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of belonging.
The Gu family looked at the happy people and felt a great joy in their hearts.
Sure enough, if you can help others to be happy and joyful, you will also be happy and joyful.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of moving into a new home, but they were unaware that several major battles had already taken place outside.
The flames of war have begun to spread in King Li's fiefdom.
