Ji's father and Ji's mother began to toss about the poor mountain in the back mountain, which caused a lot of discussion in the village, especially this time, many people wanted to fight for the opportunity to work, but they were all declined, and they also offended people invisibly. , many of them are making sarcastic remarks.
This is too much money to burn, what's wrong with having money, just throwing money at this kind of place
But in any case, the business of hiring labor was settled.
The ground was a little hard because it hadn't fully melted. The six men took two days longer than expected, and worked for a total of six days. All the fruit trees that were transported were planted.
Ji's father wanted to help, but Sudan Hong didn't agree. Let him be the supervisor. You don't need to do it yourself. After all, he has experience and can show you how to plant it.
Ji's mother has a task. She is in charge of cooking. She eats steamed buns and makes two plates of braised pork. Even Ji Jianguo and Ji Jianye are very satisfied.
Now the life of the big guys is indeed better, but there are very few people who can eat meat every day. If they can eat two or three meals a week, it is considered excellent.
Not to mention the young men in the four villages who had just separated from their homes and were living in a tight budget, so they made four big steamed buns with stewed pork for every meal.
Although the appetite is not small, but the work is also hard, which is why Ji's mother doesn't think so much.
The tree sent by Lao Qin was planted in six days, which is very fast, but there is still more than half of the mountain top left, but there is no way to do it, let's just do it first, and see if it can be planted. If so, It is not difficult to add later.
After the tree was planted, Sudan Red found two of them to work hard. One was Ji Hongjun, who was related to Ji's family, but they were a little far away, and the other was Xu Aidang.
Ji Hongjun is younger. He is only twenty-three this year. He just got married the year before last. As soon as he got married, the couple was separated and lived alone. He gave birth to a son last year, and his daily source of income depends entirely on the land he got. It's hard work, but people are very willing to work, and they don't give up any effort.
Ji's father praised him as a good man.
The other, Xu Aidang, is also twenty-eight this year and older, but like Ji Hongjun, he just got married the year before last, and they were separated as soon as they got married.
It was still winter when he was separated out. Unfortunately, the couple didn't get anything, only a little bowl and chopsticks, and nothing else.
There is not even a wall to block the wind.
It was still an uncle of the Xu family who couldn't stand it anymore and asked the couple to live in his cowshed. Others in the village sent some of the things they had at home one after another, and the couple's life slowly started.
Now I have built a small house to live in.
These are what Ji Mu told Sudan Hong.
But Xu Aidang worked very hard, and Ji's father also said that he was a good one.
So when Sudan Hong was paying the bill, Ji Jianguo and others took the money and she didn't keep much, while Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang were left by her.
"I have planted these fruit seedlings, but they still need to be watered and fertilized. These require two hands. Can you take this job?" Sudan Hong asked.
"Accept, sister-in-law, we are willing to accept!" Ji Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he said hastily.
"Yes." Xu Aidang was stunned for a moment, then said quickly.
"Although there are many fruit trees, the work is not light, but this is a long-term job, at least half a year, so the wages will not be too high, ten yuan a month, not including food, after finishing the fruit seedlings on the mountain, the rest of the time You can go about your own affairs." Sudan Hong said.
The two agreed without any hesitation.
Ten yuan a month is a lot, and there are many fruit trees on the mountain, but if the two of them are strong men working, they can actually finish the work that morning!
"Today is the 20th, so start from today, water every day, fertilize when it's time to fertilize, and get paid today next month." Sudan Hong said.
Without saying a word, the two went to fetch water to water the trees.
When Ji's mother heard that she even had to hire someone to water the water, and she still had ten yuan a month's salary, her heart ached.
Sudan Hong smiled: "Mom, it's only 20 yuan a month, which is not expensive at all. I can earn more than 100 yuan a month."
Ji's mother said: "Mom knows you can make money, but you can't spend it like this. Both your dad and I can still do it."
"By the way, Mom, the matter of fertilizer has to be left to you and Dad. I don't understand this. If you see where there is fertilizer, let Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang pick it up. You and Dad can go and have a look when you have time. "Sudan Hong said.
That's what I said, but in the evening, Sudan Hong went to the back mountain in person, took a watering can and sprinkled spiritual spring water on every tree.
She doesn't know if she can grow a living, but there are always benefits to avoiding people by sprinkling more spiritual spring water.
Ji's father and Ji's mother also attached great importance to the fruit seedlings on the mountain, and the fertilizer was farm manure. The two elders helped Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang to transport them up the mountain several times.
"Old man, if these fruit trees can grow, then we must not fence this mountain?" Ji's mother said to Ji's father after asking Ji Hongjun to fertilize.
There is no orchard on the top of the mountain in how many places around, but if the orchard in their house is really established, then it will not be stolen
Ji's father nodded: "I'll go to town to have a look when Miao is alive."
For some reason, Ji's father also felt in his heart that this time, if the fruit seedlings survived, it was time to consider surrounding the mountain.
And when that time comes, he will have to go up the mountain and set up a tent to help guard the fruit forest.
The village is only so big. Every day at dawn, Ji Hongjun Xu Aidang would carry buckets to scoop water up the mountain to irrigate the fruit trees. From time to time, some will be sent up the mountain.
The people in these villages saw it, but they didn't take it seriously. A few years ago, the two of the old Ji's family were tossing like this, and it was even harder than this, because they did it by themselves at that time, but now they hired people. Help, can this work
But no matter what outsiders say, how should Ji's father and Ji's mother live, and so does Sudan Hong.
I was embroidering flowers that day, and Sudan Red remembered it, as if the monthly letter that was supposed to arrive this month hadn't arrived yet
At first she didn't take it seriously, but after four or five days before she came, she was slightly stunned and took her own pulse.
She knew that the child would come sooner or later, she and Ji Jianyun were both healthy, how could there be no child
I thought it would be a year or two, but I didn't expect Ji Jianyun to be right, this kid came so fast!
Looking at the pulse, it has been a month, and there is no symptom of nausea at all, no wonder she didn't think about it when the monthly letter came late.
