When they went out, there were only two carriages, Wen's and Li's father and son, but when they came back, there were twenty or thirty carriages, appearing on the official road outside Gutong Village.

"Come on, come on, the Wen family is back." Someone in the village shouted, and everyone who was idle in the village ran to the entrance of the village to take a look. The end of the mighty motorcade could not be seen in the distance.

"What are they pulling on the car? Are they all saplings?"

"How many saplings are needed?"

"Stop arguing, the Wen family will definitely hire someone to do the work now." Otherwise, it would be up to the Wen family to plant so many saplings.

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this. Nowadays, no one in the village knows how to work for the Wen family. The wages are high and they can have a meaty meal, so everyone is looking forward to working for the Wen family. live.

Although the village chief received the news late, he stood in the best position as soon as he arrived, under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The carriage leading the way passed under a big tree and had to stop.

"Village Chief, what are you doing here?" After Wen Xiuyi reminded him, Old Man Wen stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the Village Chief and asked.

The village chief smiled awkwardly: "Nothing's wrong. Turn around. Uncle, are all your trees behind this?"

Old Man Wen glanced at him, and then looked at the people standing everywhere. Why bother?Go here specifically to wait for him.

But this was good, it would save him the trouble of looking for them.

"That's just right, village chief. We have so many fruit trees that we may not be able to plant them all in a while. If we can't plant them all, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Old Man Wen said.

The village chief's eyes lit up: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll ask whoever has free time at home and ask them to come to your house later."

"Then I'll trouble you, village chief." Old Man Wen was also very polite.

The village chief beamed: "No trouble, no trouble, we are all from the same village, let's help each other, help each other."

Luo Shi in the carriage curled his lips in disgust and whispered to Wen Yao: "It's not like we won't pay, so of course it won't be troublesome."

After saying that, she quickly grabbed Old Man Wen and signaled him to leave quickly. There were so many people, saplings, and cows behind, so they had to be relocated quickly.

Old Man Wen said goodbye to the village chief and asked Wen Xiuyi to drive away in the carriage. After thinking about it, he simply got out of the carriage, waved back from the carriage, and shouted: "Follow me, don't do it." Lost it."

How can we lose these people and carriages?

To put it bluntly, it’s just to show off.

Wen Yao and Luo Shi didn't bother to expose him, and just asked Wen Xiuyi to hold his clothes to prevent him from falling.

When they arrived at the door of their house, Wen Xiuyi stopped the carriage, and Old Man Wen jumped down. Taking his own tobacco pole, he led the people behind him to deliver the saplings to the barren mountain.

Wen Yao and Luo Shi hurriedly gathered Aunt Shi, Aunt Du and Aunt Lu to prepare the ingredients for cooking. They came all the way to deliver the food. Even if they were paid, they still had to give them a hot meal.

It was not easy to cook for so many people. Just to steam the rice, several large steamers were used. There was not enough stoves and a temporary one was built.

Li Fu was in the yard with his son, unable to help him. Behind him stood the steward Tong who was following him, and about ten people, including maids and boys.

These people didn't have time to settle down, so Old Man Wen enthusiastically 'invited' them all to come.

Li Fu watched the Wen family busy and then directly nodded at the ten people behind him: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and help, so that you can eat for nothing?"

Ten people said in unison: "Yes." Then they went to help.

Suddenly a few more people came to help, and they rushed to work as soon as they came up. The key is that they did not cause any trouble, their hands and feet were quick and unhurried, and they were obviously well-trained.

Wen Yao and Luo Shi were now idle. Looking at the father and son next to them like overseers, Wen Yao's mouth twitched.

"Uncle Li, why don't you go to my dad and grandpa's place to watch the fun?" Wen Yao joked.

"Go, I'm not leaving people here just because you're busy, so I'll go right now. Hehe, come on, old boy, I'll take you around. Let me tell you, this Gutong Village is really It's a geomantic treasure." Li Fu took Guanshi Tong away, and also took his son with him.

At the foot of the barren mountain, Old Man Wen directed everyone to move the saplings down, while asking Wen Xiuyi next to him: "Boss, how do you plant this sapling?"

Wen Xiuyi glanced at his father and said, "Let's do it this way."

"Dig a hole, put the saplings in it, fill it with soil, and plant it like that."

Old Man Wen: "..."

If he couldn't tell that this unfilial son was deliberately teasing him, he wouldn't be his father.

"You brat, you've grown up, haven't you? How dare you tease your father." Old Man Wen raised his cigarette pole and was about to beat him.

Wen Xiuyi quickly begged for mercy with a flattering smile: "Daddy, I'm kidding you, calm down, calm down, you see the saplings have arrived. It's been cloudy during this period. You have to plant the saplings quickly while it's cloudy, otherwise Too high a sun is not good for saplings.”

Old Man Wen nodded, of course he understood this.

"I'm looking for someone." After saying this, Old Man Wen clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the villagers outside who were watching the excitement.

Seeing him coming, the villagers knew something good was coming.

Sure enough, Old Man Wen found a high place to stand on and said loudly: "You guys have also seen that I have so many fruit trees. I have to plant them quickly in these two days, so I am still short of manpower."

"I, I, I...Uncle, me."

"I."

"Uncle Wen, me, me."

Everyone is vying to promote themselves.

Old Man Wen was almost deafened by their high-decibel sound, and he shouted quickly: "Stop making noise, stop making noise, stop making noise."

After it calmed down, Old Man Wen frowned and said, "Those who helped open up wasteland before will stay. The others can go home."

Those who opened up wasteland were familiar with the terrain on the mountain, and it was easy for the boss to command them. Old Man Wen still understood this.

Those who were not selected always felt a little disappointed, but it was okay. Among the people who helped to open up wasteland, they all had their families. If they could not earn money, their family members could earn it.

Moreover, the Wen family never restricted where they could eat. If they were lucky at lunch time, they could take the food home to satisfy their family's cravings.

Those who were selected immediately went to help move the saplings with enthusiasm. They didn't ask for wages. Anyway, the Wen family would not treat them badly.

However, Old Man Wen felt that it was better to say some things in advance.

He stopped a few people and said: "This time the wages are not based on the day, but on the number of saplings. Once you plant one tree, it costs ten cents. You can work it as a partnership between two people or three people. Anyway, you can pay as much as you plant." No matter how many of you, if you are willing, please stay, and if you are not willing, please go back.

But I have said it first. Only when the saplings are planted can the master craftsman who planted the tree make sure that the tree is planted, and then I can pay you wages. Do you understand? "

This kind of tree is not like opening up wasteland. He is afraid that some people will ruin the saplings by working hard.
