    Under the old chun tree in the middle of Xiahetun Village, all the heads of more than 40 households in the village were called out, and some people who were joining in the fun also followed.

    In the middle of winter, there wasn¡¯t much that could be done, and everyone was actually idle. When Liu Jin came to discuss something with everyone, everyone came out.

    "I don't know what Brother Jin has to do with the big guy?"

    Zhang Ermazi retracted his hands inside his sleeves, and from time to time he would reluctantly stretch them out to pat the snow on his body. He kept tapping his feet because it was really too cold.

    The shabby clothes he was wearing were not very effective at keeping him warm. A gust of cold wind blew and he shivered. He was as skinny as a monkey, and he tried his best to get into the middle of the crowd.

    "Who knows, this scholar's head is not something we can guess. It seems to be a good thing to listen to Gouzi."

    Old man Wang was also mixed in the crowd. When Zhao Erhu came to find him, he also inquired in advance.

    "A good thing?"

    "What good things can happen in this winter?"

    Li Dazhuang on the side couldn't help but said.

    "It's such a snowy day to call everyone out. If you don't tell me one, two, three, I will point my finger at Liu Xiucai's nose and scold you. If there is anything, you can't call everyone inside to talk about it."

    Widow Xie has always been a well-known shrew in the village. Her husband died early, and people often tried to get her attention, but no one had any good results. At this time, standing together with several women, Yanran became the woman in the village.  The representative, holding his hands, looked menacing.

    "Call us into the house to talk? It seems that Widow Xie has taken a liking to our scholar, but it's a pity that he doesn't like you, a shrew."

    A very funny-looking person who had the tip of his nose cut off immediately said sarcastically to Widow Xie. This man¡¯s real name was Zhu Xiaobao. He was in his thirties and a bachelor. He wanted to sneak into Widow Xie¡¯s bed before, but was arrested.  The fiery Widow Yang cut off the tip of her nose with a knife, and from then on she became the Zhu Bajie that everyone in the village laughed at.

    "Zhu Bajie, do you believe that I will cut off both of your ears?"

    Widow Xie was very shrewd. Seeing that Zhu Bajie dared to ridicule her, her eyes widened immediately and she put her hands on her waist, looking like a tigress who chooses people to devour.

    Hearing what Widow Xie said, Zhu Bajie touched his nose, and immediately did not dare to reply, and hid weakly behind the crowd.

    "Haha~"

    "Zhu Bajie, come on, you dared to go to her bed first, but now you don't even dare to say a word?"

    "That's right, if you are a man, go ahead."

    Everyone around him couldn¡¯t help pointing at Zhu Bajie and laughing. Rural people, when they have nothing to do, they inevitably make some pornographic jokes.

    "Liu Xiucai is here~"

    I don¡¯t know who said it, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked in the direction of Liu Jin¡¯s house. Liu Jin, wearing a brand-new cotton coat, walked over with Zhao Erhu with a smile on his face.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry to let you guys come out in this snowy day.¡±

    When Liu Jin came, he quickly apologized to everyone, which made everyone in the village nod slightly. At least in terms of politeness, Liu Jin always respected everyone and did not have the arrogance of a scholar.

    "Brother Jin, it's freezing cold today and it's snowing heavily. If you need anything, please tell me as soon as possible. It's very cold here."

    Uncle Zhou, the village chief of Xiahetun, looked at everyone. Although they had not been out for a long time, everyone's clothes were very tattered and thin. At this time, everyone's faces were red, and they were constantly rubbing their hands and stamping their feet in the cold, so they were very direct.  said.

    "Uncle Zhou, dear uncles and aunts, it's like this. My house is really too old. Although it has been repaired, it is no longer suitable for use."

    "So I am also thinking about building a new house from scratch. This will inevitably require the efforts of the old and young men in the village, so I also called the big guys out."

    ¡°If you guys are willing to help me build a house, I¡¯ll pay you 40 cents a day, plus a lunch.¡±

    Liu Jin smiled and nodded, without any nonsense, he directly told him that he needed manpower to build a house.

    "40 cents a day?"

    "Do you also include a lunch?"

    When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly turned red. This was definitely a good job.

    You must know that the villagers in Xiahetun, even if they cook all day longThank you, sister. Could you please find some families here who are in need and cook delicious meals for everyone? Even if the wages are 30 cents a day, lunch will be included. Do you think that¡¯s okay?  "

    Liu Jin nodded, thought for a while and said.

    "Okay, of course~"

    When Widow Xie and the women around her heard this, they immediately laughed happily. It is absolutely possible to cook a lunch and earn 30 cents a day, and still have a meal.

    ¡°Then it¡¯s settled, everyone, go back and have a day¡¯s rest today, and we¡¯ll start working tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s freezing cold here, I¡¯m really sorry to bother you all.¡±

    After everything was settled, Liu Jin apologized to everyone again.

    "Brother Jin, you're welcome~"

    Everyone responded with smiles, and then went home one by one, preparing to warm themselves up by the fire, and discuss with their families who should be sent to do the work.

    "I think this should be regarded as a work-for-relief project. Fortunately, the people in the village are simple. Now everyone's attention should be turned to building houses."

    Liu Jin looked at everyone returning happily and touched his chin and thought.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
