Village Head Guo hurriedly got ready to greet the engineering team. As the village chief, the engineering team also received a salary, but in this special period, it was always arranged to be dispatched here. He had to go up and greet them, no?
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, Village Head Guo saw a group of villagers surrounding the engineering team, noisily talking about something. At first, Village Head Guo thought the villagers were happily welcoming the engineering team's arrival.
However, when he walked closer, he saw that the villagers were emotionally agitated. They did not seem to be welcoming. Instead, they were expressing their dissatisfaction.
Village Head Guo walked over with a confused expression and asked: "What's wrong with you guys?"
Just as he finished speaking, a burly man who seemed to be the head of the engineering team said to the villagers:
"You guys are really willing to use that two-cent cyan tile. You don't need this thick and solid river basin, do you?"
"Right, we only need a green tile with two cents each." When the villagers heard that, under the "siege" of the villagers, the engineering team gave in and immediately said happily.
The engineering captain was so angry that he was almost amused, he said with a smile, "Alright, you guys are willing to use those two dollar green tiles. We don't need this oil bill, we will exchange all these five cents worth of river tiles for two cents."
When the villagers saw that the engineering team had compromised, they happily shouted, "That's more like it! Helping us in disaster relief and trying to take advantage of the opportunity to earn a profit, that's really too much for the heavens to bear!"
When Village Head Guo heard this, how could he not understand what had happened? Village Head Guo was furious and said:
"Are you sure Qing Wa won't regret if you exchange him for two cents?"
The villagers were puzzled and asked Village Head Guo, "Village Head, why do you sound like an engineering team? Are you in cahoots with them? You want to earn our money? Village Chief, you're being too dishonest like this. We're all part of the same village, and you're even the village's head. How could you possibly join an outsider to earn our money? "
Seeing the villagers criticizing him, Village Head Guo was both angry and amused. He said: "Fine, who said that they would change it to a two-cent green tile? "Come out!"
"What's there to be afraid of? You're the Village Head, you can't let us suffer any losses!"
Following that, five villagers stepped forward. The rest of the villagers hesitated, as if they were afraid of the village chief's might. However, no one dared to step forward.
Village Head Guo and Dingqing looked. These five villagers usually took advantage of others. Because they like to take advantage of others, they always felt that others would take advantage of them. No wonder.
Therefore, Village Head Guo pointed at the five of them and said, "Okay, you five can use the two cents worth of Qing Wa. The other villagers who don't have any objections can also use the five cents worth of Qing Wa."
Saying that, Village Head Guo looked at the captain of the engineering team.
The engineering team leader was also confused by the commotion of the villagers. Seeing that Village Head Guo had made the final decision, he nodded and said:
"I support Village Head Guo's decision. Like I said, we don't need this money either. I'll take these five cents' worth of wattles and exchange it for two cents' worth of money."
Villagers, look at me, look at you, finally feeling that something is not right, someone asked: "Yo, what is going on?"
Village Head Guo said, "What do you mean, what's going on?" "The engineering team is free to help big guys with disaster relief. Boss Shi went outside to find a company to sponsor the money."
"What?" It's free? "
Upon hearing that it was free of charge, the villagers immediately burst into an uproar.
"This, this won't do. Our family also needs to spend 5 points of Qing Wa. I'm not going to exchange for it."
At this time, one of the five villagers who had stood up shouted out.
So it was free, then it wasn't because the engineering team was earning money, but because they wanted to give them better quality tiles.
At this time, the villagers were suddenly enlightened. For a moment, everyone quieted down. No one dared to make a ruckus. Instead, they had an embarrassed look on their face.
Only the five people who stood out had looks of regret on their faces.
"Don't think of others' good intentions as nothing. Since you chose two cents worth of tiles and said that you don't regret it in front of big guys, we will definitely exchange it for two cents of tiles to cover you."
The captain was also stubborn and said on the spot.
Sure enough, the two boys from the engineering team loaded a pile of tiles into the car, turned around, and headed for town to change the cheap tiles.
As soon as the carriage had left, the five villagers felt a chill in their hearts. Not only did they not take advantage of this argument, they had also taken advantage of their own advantage. The five of them were dejected and didn't know what to say.
Village Head Guo shook his head and said: "You guys are used to being greedy for cheap things, so you should just use your little thoughts to figure out other people. When you bring up these suggestions, you should first ask them if they are charging or not.
"Alright, now we'll do as you wish and trade for the cheap tiles. It was also your own request."
After saying that, Village Head Guo patted his butt and pulled the engineering captain away. He wanted to discuss with the engineering captain about how to deal with the urgent repairs.
Seeing that the situation was not as they had thought, the rest of the villagers immediately rejoiced. Fortunately, they did not follow the group of people and jeered blindly.
"So it's free of charge. That's great. This time, more than half of the tiles in my house were blown away. If I can use that thick and good tile, I can at least use it for ten years without any problems."
A villager said happily.
"Your family has truly benefited from this misfortune. These tiles will cost at least a hundred pieces. My tiles have only been blown away a few pieces. Sigh, I can't replace all of them this time." One of the villagers said with a regretful expression.
The villagers were discussing nearby. The five people who were leading the villagers to make trouble were feeling very uncomfortable, just like a cat scratching its heart.
Sigh, he didn't want to take advantage of such a great opportunity, but it was all lost due to him. Who could he blame for that?
After that, Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying heard about this and felt helpless.
"Fortunately, you said it was contributed by an outside company. If it was our hands, they might not have replaced the tiles and would hate us in their hearts. Then the good thing would have been done."
"There is no widowhood, no inequality. Forget it, this is just a small matter anyway. It's also good to teach them a lesson. "
Three days later, the engineering team was able to salvage all the losses caused by the typhoon in the village.
The houses whose tiles had been blown away had been replaced with thick black tiles, with the exception of the five households.
Those whose walls collapsed were also rebuilt;
Village Head Guo organized the villagers to clean up the silt filled ditch and unblocked the waterway.
The vegetables and other crops in the field were saved as much as possible, and those that were rotten could only be replaced with other crops to make up for the loss of crops.
