Chapter 1067: Chapter 555: Leisure and Big Head

"Grandpa, don’t worry!" Yan Fei lay under the shade of a tree by the riverbank, using Tiger Da as his footrest, and promised earnestly while holding his cellphone. "There will definitely be lots of work in the future, just let the people in the village know they’ll all have something to do..."

The grandfather, who was usually decisive, became long-winded this time because the matter involved many people from the village. "Well, you just be careful, good or bad, you know everyone in our village doesn’t have much else, but they sure have strength..."

"Alright, alright, I’m tied up these days, or I would have come over to discuss this with you. Just rest assured!" Yan Fei patiently listened to his grandfather’s admonitions and finally put down the phone that was getting slightly hot.

The day before yesterday, the top official of the county made a personal visit to inspect the land west of the river, an event not worth mentioning for the ordinary folks of Sancha River township. However, news regarding Boss Yan, that was worth talking up a storm about.

Boss Yan planned to lease all those thousands of acres of land, dig channels, and build a cattle farming base.

Firstly, there was rarely anything new in Sancha River township, and secondly, this matter was somewhat related to everyone.

Boss Yan’s way of doing things was there for all to see; he absolutely wouldn’t forget about everyone when it came to sharing the good things. Just like the schools he had attended before, weren’t they now benefiting quite a bit from him?

Then there was Old Ding, who used to have a good relationship with him. Everyone knew how he, selling Braised Meat, took a few Pig Tails to Yan Fei to plead for a cattle farming slot on behalf of his relatives.

That’s not all, the most talked-about occasion was when an old man from a village on the east side of the town boldly approached Yan Fei to ask for more cattle farming slots for his village, and his reasoning left no room for objections.

A few years ago, when Yan Fei was a schoolboy, during one dismissal time when the street market was just clearing, he was walking along the road and was nearly hit by a bicycle. The cyclist was a young man, from which village or who he was, no one remembered anymore — even if that person knew, he probably wouldn’t talk about it now.

Back then, the young man even scolded Yan Fei for not watching where he was walking. This old man happened to pass by and see it all, and he immediately cursed out the young man for not respecting the young and the old, then he walked a few steps with Yan Fei and sent him back home — the blacksmith shop was less than two hundred meters away from the elementary school.

Now that there were more cows being distributed in the cattle farm, many villages had various legitimate reasons to ask for more cooperative cattle farming quotas. This old man, the village’s accountant, saw that after lots of thinking, no one in the village could find a way to relate to Yan Fei. Seeing other villages getting one or two more slots, he became anxious.

So, he took the initiative and let me try my luck.

Back then, the old man didn’t think much of the incident, it was merely a trivial act of convenience, hardly worth remembering for long. But with Yan Fei’s rising fame, that dirty little kid who used to sit quietly behind the furnace in the blacksmith shop had now become Boss Yan, and the old man started remembering that incident.

Cooperative cattle farming was really open to anyone, and Yan Fei let the government distribute the quotas mainly to save himself from hassle. This matter, though significant in the eyes of the townspeople, was just a matter of speaking a word for him, and since someone came to ask, he casually agreed.

These were all minor matters that he usually didn’t take seriously, yet they were sure to spread and be talked about over meals, becoming another testament to Boss Yan’s benevolence.

Now, everyone in the town knew that as long as you hadn’t offended Boss Yan before, if you were willing to swallow your pride and ask him for a small favor, he generally wouldn’t refuse.

So, with Boss Yan about to start a big construction project, if we went along, surely we could benefit from it, right?

When the time comes, those with strength could do some heavy lifting, and those without could still do something else — think about it, when that huge piece of land turns into a construction site, with people constantly coming and going to work, not to mention anything else, even food and drink would be a big deal.

Cooks will definitely be essential, and even if you can’t cook, helping to clean up and do some support work would be necessary. As long as you could do some work, Boss Yan certainly wouldn’t let us toil for nothing, would he?

Actually, most of the people of Sancha River township had never seen a construction site covering three thousand acres. How big could the entire Sancha River town be? Such a huge site would need so many people to work!

It was all sheer imagination; people felt that being on such a massive site, they should be able to do something, even if it was tiring or dirty work, as long as they could get some compensation, it was much better than just sitting around all day waiting to get hungry before eating the next meal.

This even had Yan Fei’s grandfather concerned enough to make a special call, instructing that if there was a need for many workers in the future, not to forget the people from our hometown.

Yan Fei’s phone was ringing off the hook yesterday, all from people who felt they had some connection to Boss Yan and were calling to inquire. Even more people went directly to the cattle farm to seek information from the staff there.

So, he simply hid behind the farm today, keeping company with Tiger Da and his gang of beasts.

That’s not quite right, he wasn’t completely alone — apart from Jiao Bing and Yang Qian, those two guys, if other people wanted to see Yan Fei, he had to be willing to meet them!
