Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 248 What? We can dig at night?

"Yuan Laowu's family, 480 kilograms!"

"Zhong Kuijia, 440 pounds!"

"Fu Shengjia, 420 pounds."

"Hey, Kuiwen's family is amazing, 620 pounds!"

"..."

Yuan Zhongli weighed bamboo shoots for everyone in the queue one by one.

The more I weighed it, the more surprised I was.

This group of villagers are fighting for their lives!

"Fusheng's family, you two mother and daughter weighed 420 kilograms?" Yuan Zhongli looked at the middle-aged woman in her forties in front of him with a shocked face.

After hearing what Yuan Zhongli said, the middle-aged woman said a little embarrassedly: "It's not easy to find a way to make money. My son and I have to work hard!"

"Earn more money to save some tuition for the baby!"

After listening to the conversation between the two people, Gu Chang took out 600 yuan and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

She was obviously stunned for a moment, and said in shock: "So many?"

"I have to buy some food for the child. The child is very tired today." Gu Chang said.

Then he turned his head and looked at the thin girl behind the woman, and said: "Study hard and lead a good life for your mother in the future."

The girl looked at Gu Chang, her eyes full of determination, and nodded.

"Ok!"

"Thank you, thank you..." the middle-aged woman thanked helplessly.

Gu Chang looked at the woman who was taking the money and walking away with the girl excitedly, and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

The child was about thirteen or fourteen years old, not tall and very thin. She was wearing clothes that were obviously ill-fitting. Her hands were so thin that the bones were exposed, and there were thick calluses in many places.

Gu Chang didn’t know how much work this child had to do on a normal day to have so many calluses.

In other places, children of this age are just at junior high school age; it is the best moment in life when young people are full of vigor and vitality, and have the love of their parents, the care of their teachers, and the help of their friends.

There is always work to do every day, and they don’t have to worry about not having enough money to go to school; what belongs to them is poetry, distant places, and a bright future.

They and the little girl couldn't imagine that there were such people in the world!

Such a lucky person, such an unlucky person.

……

The bamboo shoots were weighed until dark.

Seeing that there was still a queue behind him, and it was really dark, Gu Chang asked those in the queue behind him to disperse first, go back and have a good rest, and continue to weigh themselves tomorrow morning.

Everyone must be tired from digging bamboo shoots! Let's go to bed early at night.

Yuan Zhongli smiled and said, "Don't worry, these people will go back to eat some food and go to dig bamboo shoots again by light."

"Going again at night?" Gu Chang was a little shocked.

"That's a must!" Yuan Zhongli said.

"Do you know how much work they have to do to earn the wages you pay them?"

"For them, this is absolutely pie in the sky!"

Yuan Zhongli's words made Gu Chang think of the time when he first returned to Shangouzi Village and formed a labor team.

At that time, the staff of the labor team worked hard day and night just to earn a little more money.

At that time, Gu Chang advised the team members not to rush, as there was a lot of work to do and they could not finish it, so they could just take their time.

However, no one listened to Gu Chang's words. They all seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and once they grabbed it, they tried desperately not to let go.

Gu Guoqing also said: "People in the mountains are not so pretentious. They have nothing to do after dinner. Let them do their work!"

Gu Chang thought about it and said to Yuan Zhongli.

"Adults can do it, but children and the elderly are not allowed to go! People over 65 and under 16 are prohibited from digging bamboo shoots at night!"

"Broadcast this to the whole village now." Gu Chang said.

"Ok."

Although Yuan Zhongli felt that it was unnecessary, if the villagers wanted to do it, he would just let them do it. The children had plenty of energy and it was no big deal. After a good night's sleep, they would be full of energy the next day.

Gu Chang thought of the thin girl's back in his mind. Thinking of her digging bamboo shoots with a hoe at night, he felt a little bit reluctant.

"Whoosh..."

"Attention, fellow villagers! Attention, fellow villagers!"

"Don't go digging bamboo shoots at night, don't go digging bamboo shoots at night!"

"Especially the elderly and children, have a good rest and continue working tomorrow!"

"Boss Gu said that we need a lot of bamboo shoots, and we can't dig them all, so let's take our time..."

Many villagers were eating. They looked up and listened to Yuan Zhongli's voice on the radio.

"What? You can dig bamboo shoots at night?"

"Yes, it can be done at night. I almost forgot." A villager said while holding a bowl, suddenly realizing it.

"Fortunately, the village chief reminded us. Children, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, we will continue to dig!"

A father said to his children.

"Okay! I'll go charge the flashlight first." A teenager said excitedly, without any sign of fatigue on his face.

"You are the most thoughtful boy. Go charge your phone..." the child's father scolded with a smile.

What Gu Chang didn't know was that this broadcast not only failed to have a positive effect, but also produced many adverse effects...
