In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 291 Joy

"I advised you not to go with Chen Xiaowa back then, but thankfully you didn't listen to me."

Wang Ling said with a self-deprecating laugh that if Liu Qiaoshou had listened to him and chosen to stay here, her life would definitely not be as good as that in Chenjia Village.

after all……

The rations provided by the government were barely enough to fill their stomachs, let alone eat white flour buns every meal, and occasionally even a bite or two of meat.

"You're doing this for my own good!"

Liu Qiaoshou didn't pay attention to that, but changed the subject and said, "Old Wang, I came here this time for two reasons: first, to visit you, and second, to invite you to live with me in Chenjia Village."

"To Chenjia Village?"

Wang Ling and his wife exchanged a glance. From Liu Qiaoshou's description, they knew how good life was in Chenjia Village, and naturally they wanted to live there too.

but……

Wang Ling frowned and said, "Skilled hands? Doesn't Chenjia Village only want craftsmen? Can we go there?"

"of course can!"

Liu Qiaoshou smiled and said, "Chenjia Village does not exclude outsiders from settling down. Recently, a merchant has settled in Chenjia Village. Of course, if you go to Chenjia Village on your own, you will not be able to enjoy the benefits of Chenjia Village."

The so-called benefits of Chenjia Village are, of course, the previous provision of two meals a day, and now a fixed monthly salary.

Of course, Wang Ling was unaware of this.

"Does that mean...we'll need your help after we get to Chenjia Village?"

Wang Ling frowned and said that it was not hard to understand from Liu Qiaoshou's account that the reason why Liu Qiaoshou and the other craftsmen who went to Chenjia Village were able to live so well was that Chen Dao provided them with two meals a day and lodging. If this benefit were not provided, Wang Ling would probably have to rely on Liu Qiaoshou for help after he moved there.

Although Liu Qiaoshou had settled into a stable life in Chenjia Village, he certainly didn't have much money, and Wang Ling didn't want to be a burden to him.

"Look at what you're saying. You've helped me a lot before, so what's wrong with me helping you out a little?"

Liu Qiaoshou said with a smile, "Of course, the main reason I want you to go to Chenjia Village is to ask you to help me."

"help?"

Wang Ling asked in surprise, "How can I help you?"

Liu Qiaoshou's main job in Chenjia Village was carpentry, but he didn't have the skills and couldn't help her.

"I plan to open a shop in Chenjia Village!"

Liu Qiaoshou explained the reason: "Now every household in Chenjia Village is building a new house, and many people are asking me to help them make furniture and other items. So, I plan to open a shop in Chenjia Village to sell furniture!"

Since Chen Dao opened his general store, Liu Qiaoshou has had the idea of ​​opening his own shop. These days, many villagers have asked him to help make furniture and other items. Liu Qiaoshou feels that he can open a shop to sell the furniture he makes.

Of course, because Liu Qiaoshou also needed to take care of the construction work in Chenjia Village, he couldn't run the shop himself, so he thought of his friend Wang Ling.

"Are you planning to open a shop?"

Wang Ling asked in surprise, "Can this really work?"

"It will definitely work!"

Liu Qiaoshou said confidently, "Old Wang, you don't know, life in Chenjia Village is very good now. Every household is building new houses, and people come to my door every day to have furniture made. I believe that as long as this furniture shop opens, business will definitely be good!"

"Well."

Wang Ling pondered for a moment.

His wife's eyes lit up; she couldn't wait for Wang Ling to agree immediately, after all...

Compared to the days when they can't even get enough to eat, going to Chenjia Village to help Liu Qiaoshou would undoubtedly lead to a better life.

"I agree!"

After considering it for a moment, Wang Ling nodded in agreement.

Then, he discussed the details of opening a furniture shop with Liu Qiaoshou.

Meanwhile, the sounds of homeless people shouting and yelling could be heard in this shantytown.

"Zhou the blacksmith, is Chenjia Village really that wealthy?"

"Every household eats white flour steamed buns? What kind of heavenly life is that?!"

"As long as you work hard, you can eat all the white flour buns you want? Zhou the blacksmith, you've really come to the right place!"

"I regret it so much! Why didn't I go with that little Chen kid back then!"

"..."

Clearly, news of Zhou Tie and the other craftsmen's return had spread throughout the entire shantytown. After learning about Zhou Tie and the others' experience of going to Chenjia Village, the refugees couldn't help but feel extremely envious.

While feeling envious, they also felt extremely regretful, especially the craftsmen with skills. They were filled with remorse, regretting that they hadn't followed Chen Dao. If they had followed Chen Dao, they might have been able to live the same good life as Zhou the blacksmith and others.

"Happy New Year, Brother Dao!"

"Happy New Year, Brother Dao!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, Brother Dao!"

"..."

In Chenjia Village, after having breakfast, the villagers came to Chen Dao's home one after another, each offering their blessings with great joy.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Chen Dao smiled and responded to everyone. After everyone dispersed, he walked out of his house and looked at the children playing in the village. A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Chenjia Village has undoubtedly changed a lot since he first arrived, and the biggest change is... it's much more lively now.

When Chen Daogang transmigrated, everyone was hiding at home to ward off the cold due to a lack of food and clothing, making the whole village exceptionally deserted.

And now...

The children, dressed in new clothes, played around everywhere, and the adults' faces were full of happiness and joy. It seemed that everyone had been relieved of their burdens and no longer had the worried look on their faces.

…………

…………

The next day.

Liu Qiaoshou, who had rested for a night in her old house, woke up early and went to Wang Ling's house, intending to take them back to Chenjia Village.

By this time, Wang Ling and his wife had already packed their luggage. To call it luggage was a bit of a stretch; it was just a couple of old clothes to change into.

"You've arrived, skillful hands!"

Wang Ling nodded to Liu Qiaoshou as she entered, then said, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Soon, the three of them left their house, and at the same time, Zhou Tie and the others also came to join them.

Why are there so many people?

Looking at Zhou Tie and the others who had come to join them, Liu Qiaoshou was somewhat surprised, because it wasn't just Zhou Tie and the others who had come, but also a large number of refugees who had come with them, numbering no less than 30.

"These people are all craftsmen."

Zhou Tie smiled and explained to Liu Qiaoshou, "Before I came, Dao Ge'er specifically told me to bring some craftsmen back with me."

"I see."

Liu Qiaoshou nodded and said nothing more. Soon, she set off with the others and embarked on the official road back to Chenjia Village.

Around noon, the group arrived at Chenjia Village.

Upon arriving at Chenjia Village, Zhou Tie handed over the other craftsmen to the village chief, Chen He, who was responsible for arranging their work.

Wang Ling and his wife were taken back to Liu Qiaoshou's home.
