When she wanted to walk up the mountain, it seemed as if there was an invisible force rejecting her, making it impossible for her to move forward even half a step.
Jian Zhizhi's heart trembled, and he tried it a little unbelievingly, but it was still the same.
Xiaohe seemed to have noticed something was wrong, raised his head and said to Jian Zhizhi:
"Sister, we can't seem to get up."
Jian Zhizhi breathed a long sigh of relief, yes, he couldn't go up.
Xiaohe seemed to sense that her mood was wrong, so he didn't say anything anymore and stood beside her obediently.
A minute later, Jian Zhizhi accepted the situation and took Xiaohe to the vegetable patch next to him.
Jian Zhizhi calmed down her emotions, lowered her head and said to the little girl beside her:
"Let's pick pumpkins and pull radishes here first, and wait until your father comes back."
Xiaohe responded obediently: "Okay."
Jian Zhizhi put the basket on the field and said, "Sister, come and pull the radishes. You are responsible for delivering them to the radish basket."
"Uh-huh."
It was relatively easy to pull out the carrots, and since she was holding her breath, it was even easier.
At this time, Jian Zhizhi's mind was spinning rapidly.
The green hill in the backyard couldn't be climbed, so she had to look for the livestock outside on the hill.
When I get back from the birthday celebration, I might as well ask about the situation going up the mountain outside. It seems like I need to go for a walk.
Now, she just hopes that the relatives she brought back for her birthday can be hired by her, so that the matters in the backyard rice fields can be left to them.
Half an hour later.
"Shopkeeper Jian!"
The sound of birthday celebrations came from far away, and Jian Zhizhi straightened up after hearing it.
After looking at the situation in the radish field, Jian Zhizhi was almost shocked.
She actually pulled out half of the acre of radishes!
Xiaohe was not far away, picking up a big radish and walking towards the field ridge.
As if hearing the sound of birthday celebrations, Xiao He put down the carrot and shouted:
"Dad! We are here!"
Qingsheng heard the sound and subconsciously looked in their direction.
Jian Zhizhi walked to the field ridge with a carrot in one hand, and Qingsheng arrived just in time.
After getting closer, Qingsheng saw a pile of radishes in front of him and subconsciously sighed:
"This carrot is so big."
It's really big, I'm afraid one weighs several kilograms.
Jian Zhizhi put down the carrot in his hand and asked, "Did someone bring it back?"
Although I was happy to celebrate my birthday, I didn’t forget the business:
"I have brought people back. My father-in-law and mother-in-law, my three uncles-in-law and their wives, and my two cousins. There are ten people in total. They are all waiting in the shop now."
If they could be hired, ten people would only get twenty kilograms of rice.
Jian Zhizhi nodded after hearing this, "Let's go out and take a look."
Picking up the basket full of radishes and carrying it on his back, Qingsheng took a look and said quickly:
"Let me do it."
Jian Zhizhi shook his head, "Just bring two."
She can carry it.
Qingsheng didn't argue with Jian Zhizhi, he just hugged a few more radishes and followed behind Jian Zhizhi with his daughter, his eyebrows rarely relaxed.
Not only rice, but also vegetables.
very nice.
In the shop.
"He's not in the backyard celebrating his birthday."
Before the birthday celebration, I told them that there was something strange in the backyard and that they needed to be hired by the shopkeeper to see the large fields. They were suspicious.
But just now they watched Qingsheng enter the backyard with their own eyes, and now there is no one there. This is more than weird.
"Dad, this..."
They followed Qingsheng because they trusted him, but the weirdness of this shop reminded them of spirits.
Could it be that the spirit transformed into a birthday party and tricked them into coming here, right?
Chen Yu's old face also flashed with solemnity, "Don't Qingsheng's family live next door? You..."
Before Chen Yu finished speaking, he saw Jian Zhizhi and Qingsheng coming out of the backyard one after another.
Chen Yu immediately shut up and looked at Jian Zhizhi nervously.
Xiaohe saw the elders in her grandfather's family calling for them one by one.
Qingsheng let go of Xiaohe and stepped forward to help Jian Zhizhi introduce someone.
Having been neighbors for some years, Qingsheng actually knew that 'Jian Zhizhi' had met his wife's relatives.
But when Jian Zhizhi mentioned the five members of his family before, his confused expression told him that the Jian Zhizhi in front of him might be different from what he had in mind.
She didn't look at him like she was looking at an acquaintance.
She was no longer familiar with him as a neighbor, and she was definitely not familiar with his wife's family.
Jian Zhizhi nodded one by one after hearing Qingsheng's introduction.
Jian Zhizhi looked at a few people. They had doubts and vigilance on their faces, as if they were doubting her identity.
Jian Zhizhi didn't care and vaccinated several people first:
"I don't know what Qingsheng told you. Although I do need manpower now, I'm not sure if you can be hired by me."
"So the ugly words are up front, and I will give you the questions. If you can't get in in the end, there is nothing you can do.
But don't worry, I won't let you go all the way in vain. When the rice is harvested, I will give you a pound of rice. "
These people were happy when they heard this.
Even if you can't go in, you can still get a pound of rice, which is a great thing.
Chen Yu was also a little moved. After swallowing, he spoke first:
"Shopkeeper Jian, you ask."
Jian Zhizhi: "I need help from people to help me harvest rice for one day. The reward is two kilograms of rice. Will you take this job?"
It was almost the same question, Jian Zhizhi didn't even change the word.
It just changes the employment for single people into the employment for groups.
"catch."
"I'll take it."
…
All ten people answered, and Jian Zhizhi's feeling this time was more obvious than the previous two times.
The uncle’s brother-in-law who was celebrating his birthday behind Chen Yu muttered:
"I seem to have a strange feeling."
Jian Zhizhi glanced at her, but saw a few other people's expressions moving slightly, but calmly withdrew their gaze.
Jian Zhizhi reminded: "Go to the backyard with Qingsheng and try."
Everyone is in!
Jian Zhizhi's tight heart relaxed, which was a good thing.
Jian Zhizhi said: "The tools are in the house next to us. Divide four people into harvesting the vegetables and wheat in the vegetable field behind, and the rest can cut and thresh the rice."
Under normal circumstances, it is better for freshly harvested millet to be exposed to the sun for a period of time, but now...
Jian Zhizhi no longer wanted to think about it.
After hearing Jian Zhizhi's explanation, the excited people quickly reacted.
"Then we'll form our own groups."
Jian Zhizhi nodded and pulled Qingsheng out.
"Didn't you say you would go to the mountains to have a look before? While your father-in-law and others are helping in the fields, we will go to the mountains to see if we can find any game."
Qingsheng was stunned for a moment. He already had food and wanted to go to the mountains?
Qingsheng saw Jian Zhizhi's serious face, an idea flashed in his mind, and he quickly nodded in agreement:
"Then I'll tell my father-in-law and the others and go back to prepare things."
Jian Zhizhi had rice and vegetables in the backyard, but lacked poultry. This was probably why she wanted to go up the mountain.
Jian Zhizhi nodded.
Qingsheng spoke to Chen Yu and asked Xiao He to obey before leaving.
Jian Zhizhi was about to get the tools when he saw a few people hesitating around a pile of tools. He stepped forward and took a look:
"Do you still have the tools at home? Bring them over and use them first."
Zhou Lan: "Can we go out?"
