Chapter 78: Getting older and more cunning
The elders discussed for several days and finally decided on a plan to repair the tomb.

If you have money, contribute money; if you don’t have money, contribute your labor.

It's all voluntary.

There is no such thing as equal distribution. How can the poor and the rich share the burden?

That will create conflicts, and good things will turn into bad things.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle each contributed 20,000 yuan, and the two cousins ​​each contributed 10,000 yuan.

Jiang Youxin took 50,000 yuan, so Jiang Ning didn't need to pay, but he was the richest man.

He followed his father's example and also paid 50,000.

After Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei found out, they also became a little restless.

The boss was also the big and small one, and each of them was given 10,000 yuan.

They collected 180,000 yuan, but after going around in circles, the money finally landed in Jiang Ning's hands.

On behalf of the Bei'an Jiang family, the uncle entrusted the important task of repairing the tomb to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning jokingly asked, "Can I embezzle?"

His uncle smiled and said, "You can be greedy. As long as you do your job well, whatever is left is yours."

Jiang Ning felt that these elderly people were becoming more cunning as they aged. According to the plan they had agreed upon, the money was not enough and he would have to pay for it in the end. And this did not include the cost of planting trees, which was not included in the plan.

Our ancestors had already given him this job.

After some preparation, the young and old men went to the cemetery.

This time, we specially invited my third uncle and third aunt.

After arriving at the site, the first thing we did was to enclose the cemetery.

But how to circle and how big to make the circle is a bit difficult to think about.

This is an ownerless barren mountain, but it is not something that can be easily enclosed.

For your own ancestral grave, the bigger the better.

But the area enclosed was too large and they were afraid that the government would cause trouble in the future.

The 30*30 that we discussed before is just over one acre of land, which is safer.

Jiang Ning thought it was too small, so he walked around and said, "It's just this big."

The elders are all unsure.

The second uncle asked him, "If you are investigated, can you handle it?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "As long as I'm alive, there's no problem."

The elders praised him, saying that young people should have confidence.

Since Jiang Ning is so confident, there will be no problem.

In fact, it is not a big deal. The land is vast and the population is sparse, so the problem of people not being able to afford to die does not exist here. Some people's cemeteries are much larger than this, and the cemeteries are built like gardens, and no one causes trouble.

To put it bluntly, it depends on your ability.

The cemetery should be fenced off and completely enclosed.

But there are some considerations when it comes to what kind of fence to install.

Jiang Youxin said, "You need a good fence. The cheap barbed wire you have on your farm won't work. You need something better."

Jiang Ning nodded, the cemetery is a face.

It was really embarrassing to use cheap barbed wire. In fact, he was a little regretful now. In order to save money, he installed the cheapest barbed wire on the farm. Now he felt that it was out of fashion no matter how he looked at it, and he really wanted to replace it.

But I have already planted the thorny rose, so it’s difficult to change it even if I want to.

I went back and consulted with my uncle and ordered a higher-end fence.

There is a half-meter low wall below, and an iron fence is installed on the wall.

The price is very high, sixty yuan per meter, plus the installation fee it is estimated to be eighty yuan.

It costs tens of thousands of dollars to install a fence.

It takes time to deliver the fence.

But the wall had to be built first, so Jiang Ning arranged people to build the wall first.

Planting trees doesn’t have any impact. Our parents said that pine trees should be planted in graves, but I don’t know what the reason is.

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions. He just planted pine trees because there were plenty on the farm.

When building the villa, because we needed a lot of landscape trees, we planted dozens of acres of various precious seedlings, including pine trees, cypress trees, locust trees and so on. Those trees grow relatively slowly and can only be considered seedlings now, but they are just right for transplanting.

The workers were asked to dig up two hundred pine trees and plant them in the cemetery.

A water truck was also sent to help pour water.

It's so dry at the cemetery that not even grass can grow.

Planting trees without watering them is a waste of effort.

Two hundred trees were planted in one day.

Jiang Ning went up to take a look and fed him some Yi wood essence.

The pine tree is still small, only as thick as a wrist.

If you don't feed it some Yi wood essence, it will easily die if you move its nest.

The weeds in the cemetery also need to be cleared, and then a layer of coal ash has to be spread, and finally a layer of pebbles to prevent the weeds from growing again. The project is not big, and with more machinery and workers, it can be done in a week.

In the midst of busyness, the summer vacation is over.

The school is about to start, and the faculty and staff have started work three days in advance.

There are a lot of things to do when school starts, especially in the fall when students start to study.

A lot of work needs to be done in advance, otherwise if we wait until school starts, it will be a mess.

It’s okay for elementary school, but junior high school students start work a week in advance.

When Jiang Ning went to eat in the afternoon, he found out that Feng Yu didn't drive.

I rode the electric bike to school again.

Going upstairs, the air conditioner in the living room was whirring, keeping the summer heat out of the door.

The sliding door of the kitchen was closed and the range hood was buzzing.

Feng Xuekuan was wearing loose home clothes and busying himself in front of the stove.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail and looked uncombed.

It's a little messy, but it exudes a unique sense of leisure.

Jiang Ning put on slippers and went to the kitchen to take a look.

Seeing that there were still a few stray hairs by Feng Xue's ears, she asked, "Sister, didn't you comb your hair?"

Feng Xue felt a little embarrassed and sat in front of the computer as soon as she got up in the morning.

The time has come, and I quickly prepare lunch.

I really didn't have time to comb my hair.

Today I made rice, fried two home-cooked dishes, and made two cold dishes.

The cold dishes have been prepared and are on the stove.

Jiang Ning took it out and placed it on the dining table.

Feng Xue wanted to use a plate, which was placed on the upper kitchen cabinet, but it was a little out of reach. There was a small stool on the kitchen floor, so she hooked it over with her foot and stepped on the small step to get it. However, the stool was unstable and the center of gravity shifted slightly, so it flipped over.

He was about to fall, but Jiang Ning was quick with his eyes, hands and legs, and he entered the kitchen in one leap.

Catch the person.

Feng Xue blushed a little and struggled to stand up.

Jiang Ning didn't think much about it and said, "Call me when you want to get something."

Feng Xue nodded, feeling embarrassed.

When the range hood stopped, Feng Yu also came back from get off work.

He was holding a helmet in his hand, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Today's temperature broke the Bei'an record again.

The dogs in the community don’t go out anymore.

When Feng Yu saw Jiang Ning, he said, "Sister-in-law Su Hongyan has been transferred."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Transferred away?"

Feng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I just found out today when I went to work that she was transferred to Beijie Primary School."

Jiang Ning said, "That's good. Not being in the same school means less trouble."

Feng Yushen agreed: "Since we are in the same school, it is inevitable that we will have some work-related interactions. I try to be accommodating, but it is also very annoying sometimes. It would be best if she is transferred away so that she won't have to ask me to help her revise her PPT in the future."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Go wash your hands and eat."

Feng Yu agreed and went into the kitchen, washed his hands, and brought out the last dish.

Feng Xue took off her apron and the three of them ate around the dining table.

Jiang Ning then asked Feng Yu: "Why don't you drive?"

Feng Yu said: "It's just a few steps away. It's too inconvenient to drive. It's more convenient to ride an electric scooter."

Jiang Ning said: "Why is driving inconvenient? It's because you are not used to it. You will be fine once you get used to it."

Feng Yu nodded, somewhat halfheartedly.

I didn't plan to drive to school.

As a result, it rained heavily in the middle of the night. The autumn rain came at a very wrong time.

There was a whole summer of drought and it didn't rain until autumn.

It's really annoying when God is angry.

It was raining quite heavily.

Feng Yu got up, stood in front of the window and looked out, feeling a little worried.

It’s raining so hard that I’ll be soaked by the time I get to school.

After breakfast, go out.

When Feng Xue saw her trying to get her helmet, she reminded her, "Go drive!"

Feng Yu slapped her head and realized she had forgotten everything.

I didn't originally plan to drive to school, but as luck would have it, it wasn't suitable to ride an electric scooter on a rainy day.

I put the helmet down, took the bike from the shoe cabinet drawer and went downstairs.

I also took an umbrella with me.

When you arrive at the unit door, open the umbrella first.

Then he walked out, went to the car and got in the driver's seat.

Then he folded the umbrella, shook off the water, and placed it under the passenger's feet.

Close the car door and fasten the seat belt first. The process is standard and meticulous.

Then he started the engine and waited about a minute before shifting the car into gear and driving out of the parking space.

I was not very brave to drive when I just got my driver's license. But after a trip to the southwest, Jiang Ning trained me all the way, both on the highway and in the city. Now I am not nervous anymore. Although my skills are still pretty poor, I can drive to work if I am careful.

Drive the car out of the community and drive slowly towards the school.

It's raining and visibility is poor.

Feng Yu drove very carefully, and she found that most of the cars on the road would keep a distance from her, as if she had a thorn on her body. This made her a little depressed, so she stepped on the accelerator slightly and increased the speed.

When I drove to the school, I saw quite a few cars parked downstairs of the unfinished building opposite.

Feng Yu drove over and reached the innermost part.

Parked in a more spacious location.

Just as I parked the car, a sedan drove over and stopped next to me.

Feng Yu took a glance and felt unfamiliar.

I took the umbrella, opened it, got out of the car, and crossed the road to school.

A male teacher got out of the car, looked at Feng Yu, and then looked at the G-Class parked next to him.

A look of surprise.

Feng Yu is now a celebrity in the school. Although they are not in the same grade group, the male teachers know her.

Driving a G-Class to work...

This is really like a heifer entering a bull pen, and she is so awesome.

In order to avoid seeing it wrong, I ran over to take a look.

You read that right, it is indeed the G-Class.

I ran to the back of the car and took a look. The male teacher was someone who knew a lot about cars.

Seeing the G63 on the butt, I feel a little uncomfortable.

How much does this car cost?

Anyway, it is definitely more expensive than the G-Class, and there probably won’t be a second one in Beian.

I took a few photos before crossing the road and entering the school.

There is one advantage to rainy days: leaders will become lazy.

When the leader is lazy, there will be less things to do.

That’s why rainy days are suitable for sleeping.

Even the teaching and research office didn't have the busy atmosphere of yesterday. The teachers were exchanging their summer vacation experiences and sharing their travel experiences, while also busying themselves with the work at hand. The atmosphere was quite good.

In the new school year, many teachers adjusted their jobs.

There are two new faces in the teaching and research department.

I wasn’t familiar with Feng Yu, but I got to know him slowly.

The phone kept beeping, all with WeChat message alerts.

It’s quite annoying, but I dare not turn it off for fear of missing out on important information.

A new male teacher looked at the message sent in the group and suddenly looked surprised.

He looked up at Feng Yu, then looked down at his phone.

Finally, I looked at Feng Yu...
