Hire??
That was money. This was the real benefit that could be seen in front of him.
Soon, the dissatisfied voices disappeared. Even the auntie who had been against Gu Yundong from the beginning immediately wanted to sign up for her son.
She could not wait to ask, “How much is the salary for a day?”
However, Chen Liang also had a temper. She was the one who opposed most just now. Now, she still wanted to work? Dream on.
He looked at the villagers and said, “Everyone, quiet down first. We have to make things here first. It’s best if we finish building the road before the new year, so we want young and strong people who are diligent. Those who are too old or too little, don’t come and join in the fun.”
It wasn’t the time for farm work, and many people were resting at home. Some people went to town or county to do short-term jobs.
However, it was not easy to find short-term jobs, so it was easy to find 20 young men in the village.
Not long after, the village chief registered their names and told everyone that the salary for a day was 50 copper coins, no food included.
“Everyone, work hard. The Gu family isn’t the only one who can take this road. Everyone in our village can take it. This is a road built for ourselves, so everyone has to perk up and build this road for me. Do you hear me?”
“I hear you.”
“Don’t worry, Village Chief. We definitely won’t be slacking.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Our village is getting better and better. In the future, there will definitely be more and more ox carts. Everyone can use this road.”
Seeing that everyone had such an understanding, Chen Liang was relieved.
He brought these twenty people to take a look at the positions and choose the leader. Unfortunately, Feng Daneng was not around. He was still renovating the houses in the prefectural city. Otherwise, it would be best for him to take the lead.
However, there was also an experienced master who was good at building roads. It was the same for him to lead the way.
Among these 20 people was He Shanchuan from the He family.
There was nothing to do now. He Shanchuan originally wanted to enter the city to find work, but now that there was a job in the village, he did not have to make an extra trip.
Gu Yundong did not care much about what happened next.
On the road construction matter, Chen Liang was more concerned than her. He kept an eye on it early in the morning every day, as if he was afraid that something would happen.
Fortunately, everyone was working hard and did not hesitate at all.
Gu Yundong bought a lot of sand and stones and laid them flat on the ground. People wouldn’t be afraid of mud on a rainy day.
After building a part of the road, she specially let the carriage try it. As expected, it was much faster.
After building the road for more than 20 days, it was almost done.
At this moment, Gu Yundong received Shao Qingyuan’s letter.
This letter was to inform her that he was safe. Shao Qingyuan said that he had arrived in the capital and met Song Dejiang. The entire journey was safe. He ate and slept well. He remembered her words firmly in his heart without any illness or pain.
Gu Yundong wanted to laugh when she read this, but the longing in her heart also spread.
He had arrived in the capital so quickly, which meant that he must have been traveling at full speed.
After reading the letter, she immediately picked up her brush and replied to him.
She recounted what she had done these past few days and also told him about the road construction in the village.
In the end, she wished him a happy New Year in advance and told him to take care of himself and come back soon.
Although they had been separated for a few days, it was quite interesting to have letters.
Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief and felt much better.
A month later, the road from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the village was finally completed.
