Chapter 28

"It turned out that we wanted to change this kind of life, but there was no way. In order to save some effort, I can understand whether I work or not. I am not afraid of everyone making jokes, so I did the same.

But now everyone can change this kind of life with their own strength. Why don’t you want it? Is it because we are really lazy? Or is it because we have become a habit of being lazy?

Comrade Jiang Xiaobai said that after the road construction is completed, people are needed to make canned food. Now, as long as everyone is willing to endure hardship, they can change this kind of life. I don’t understand why everyone is unwilling to change, but I am willing.

I won’t say much about the others. If you think that I have been strict in supervision today, I’m sorry, I will remember all the favors I owe you. In the future, even if you ask me to pay my life back, I won’t say anything. But now that I’m here, I can’t turn a blind eye. I’m sorry.”

Li Laosan said as he bowed deeply to the crowd, and then continued.

"If you want to do something, stay and do it well. If you don't want to change, you will leave if you want to live a poor life. I won't stop you." After Li Laosan said that, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up the hammer and smashed it hard on the stone.

The hammer and the stone collided, and a series of sparks emerged, and then a large piece of stone fell off.

The sound of the deafening sound awakened everyone who was still immersed in Li Laosan's words.

"I'll do it." Zhang Baofeng also picked up the hammer and rushed forward.

"I stayed."

"I'll stay, too."

"I..." The villagers either shouted or started working without saying a word.

Active and passive are two different concepts, which is why it is from eating a big pot to the family contract responsibility system.

When people change from being scattered to living, the speed of quarrying is not increased by a little.

When I was tired, I would take a rest for a while. When sweat flowed into my eyes and affected my vision, I would apply it. Soon a truckload of stones of different sizes was mined.

It was not until Wang Xiaojun sent mung bean soup and Li Laosan organized that everyone stopped and rested for a while.

During lunch, when we looked at the food on the dining table, we felt that today was not a loss. The large chunks of braised pork made people feel very excited.

Because they had to work in the afternoon, everyone didn't drink much, and they stopped drinking after a small glass.

"You must tie it tightly to pay attention to safety." Jiang Xiaobai looked at the villagers who tied the ropes to their waists and were about to go down the cliff to put wood.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai, this job is not without work." Several villagers said with a smile. The richness of the lunch at noon made everyone feel a little more hopeful about getting the wages today.

Several people slowly walked down the cliff with wood. Although the cliff was not the kind of cliff, it looked quite terrifying.

As everyone slowly got off the cliff, their hearts rose little by little, and their breathing became rapid, as if they were afraid that the loud breathing would make them fall off the cliff.

After several people put down the first piece of wood and came up from the edge of the cliff, everyone exclaimed a burst of cheers.

Jiang Xiaobai also cheered loudly, saying that he would add dishes to the evening and he would only stop drunk.

One, two, three...there were carefully placed on the edge of the cliff by the villagers, and then continued to send stones down.

By the time it was dark, more than half of the roadbed had fallen out.

"After work, surround these two sides and let's go back to have a meal." Jiang Xiaobai dragged his tired body and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"knock off."

"knock off."

"Stop work." Everyone shouted loudly. This day made everyone exhausted, but although they were physically exhausted, they were all very excited.

They don’t know how long it took them so much to do their jobs.

"Walk the main road, don't walk the small road.

There are many people on the road, so I can help relieve my worries.

Stay in a hotel. You stay in a large store, not a small store.

There are many thieves in the shop, and I’m worried about stealing you.

When you sleep, you sleep in the middle..." Jin Province is not far from northern Shaanxi, and people living on the loess high slopes will also shout a piece of folk songs.

But in the past, most of them were not in the mood to sing, but today I don’t know why? Everyone was tired for a day and exhausted, but everyone was in good spirits.

I was in a good mood and wanted to yell a few times. Li Laosan also spoke as someone sang.

"You want to hold my hand,

I want to kiss you

Hold hands, speak in person,

"The famous Xintianyou song " caused everyone to laugh.

"Li Laosan, you are afraid you want to pull the hand of Widow Liu, the village head."

"Zhang Baofeng, what am I thinking?" Li Laosan also let go today.

Everyone burst into laughter again, and Jiang Xiaobai also learned a few words about Xintianyou.

As the sun sets, people who have worked for a day have walked towards the village in the aftermath of the sunset.

Secretary Huang Zhongfu stood at the entrance of the village and looked at him from a distance and smiled. It was unknown how long it had been since Jianhua Village had such a scene.

I still remember when he was young...

He is old and his future belongs to young people. Secretary Huang Zhongfu turned home with a smile on his face.

"Li Siyan, get the money and pay the salary." After Jiang Xiaobai returned to the small yard, the first thing he did was to ask Li Siyan to pay for everyone today's salary.

"Here," Li Siyan responded, took the account book and sat down on the chair, and took out a floppy ticket.

Listening to Jiang Xiaobai's words, although he was already prepared for the crowd, there were still bursts of noise.

"I really give you a 50-cent salary. I thought it was just that."

"Yes, there are so many people, how much does it cost to open it."

"I don't even expect to pay for a wage. I think it's good to be able to manage the meal?"

"Everyone lined up and whoever called his name would come forward to get the wages."

Jiang Xiaobai shouted loudly, and the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

"Zhang Baofeng, 50 cents." Li Siyan's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it very crisp and sweet.

Zhang Baofeng pressed his handprint on the paper, held the 50 cents tightly in his hand, and after a while he was born, he said, "Thank you."

"What do you thank for? This is what you deserve." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Next, Fatty Shi."

"Li Xiaoliu..."

"Wang..." As a person pressed his handprint, his 50 cents of wages were also taken into his hands.

Li Laosan almost cried when he looked at the 50 cents in his hand. The 50 cents a day really made him see the hope of life.
