There is a mountain in her arms

When Chi Yuan drove Jiang Yichen and her grandfather to the wasteland she bought, there was already a large group of people standing there, and there was a truck behind them.

When they got off the bus, a man in military uniform blew a whistle, and the people immediately lined up in three rows.

"Luo Yue! Why are you here?"

Jiang Yichen recognized the person as soon as he walked in. This world is really small, and it's possible to meet someone like this.

"Comrade, nice to see you again! I was ordered to send these people over for resettlement. You can choose one."

Jiang Yichen looked at these veterans who were still standing tall despite having retired from the army, and felt a little sad for them.

"They are all heroes, how can we just pick them randomly? As long as they are willing, they can stay!"

"All? Sorry, little comrade. It's hard for us to choose, so we just sent over those who can come after we contacted them. If you think there is something unsuitable, I will take it back."

"Did you tell them what to do?"

"We didn't say that! We wanted them to have a stable job, no matter what."

Luo Yue felt a little embarrassed, and they didn't consider these things.

"It's better to make it clear. Maybe some people don't want to do this kind of physical work."

"Hello, heroes! You don't have to tense up like that. This is not the military, so you can relax. I have a few things to tell you in advance. I'll continue after you've thought it through."

"Your leader didn't explain it to you clearly. My job here is very ordinary and tiring. I plan to reclaim this piece of wasteland and plant fruit trees. Reclaiming wasteland is physical work, and planting trees is also physical work. Of course, after the fruit trees are planted, they still need to be taken care of from time to time. It's all tedious and boring work, so if you want to leave, you can leave now."

"Girl, if the fruit trees are all gone, will you fire people like me?"

A limping thirty-something raised his hand and asked her.

"No, as long as you don't cheat, I won't fire you. And I can promise that as long as you work for me for one day, I will take care of your retirement in the future."

"Okay! I do!"

"I do too!"

"I am willing!"

The scene became noisy. Luo Yue blew a whistle and the place became quiet the next second.

"So, is anyone leaving?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Well, let me tell you about my arrangement. Your monthly salary is 30 yuan, and after three months, your salary will be increased by 10 yuan. Every year after that, you will receive a 5 yuan salary for seniority, which will be accumulated in sequence. There will also be a fixed 10 yuan environmental subsidy every month. If your salary changes in the future, I will adjust it according to the market conditions outside to ensure that your interests will not be harmed."

"Second, you must build a temporary shelter for yourself in the early stages. You can use the trees on the mountain over there."

"Third, I will provide you with food in the early stages, but I hope you can be self-sufficient later on. It would be best if you could open up a piece of land to grow food and vegetables."

“Is there anyone here who can cook?”

Immediately, seven or eight people raised their hands, five of whom were disabled people.

"Then you guys will be responsible for cooking from now on. Your salary will be five yuan less than those who do manual labor, but everything else will remain the same. Others should not have any ideas. You are tired in the early stage, but it will be easy in the later stage. They are busy with three meals a day, and it is very tiring to cook for so many people."

"Okay, that's all for now. I'll let you know when I think of something later. Now let's go build a temporary shelter together! I've brought the tools, and you can each take a portion."

Chi Yuan took out two sacks from the trunk, which contained various tools that Jiang Yichen and his grandfather had purchased yesterday.

"Comrade Luo, can I trouble your troops for something?"

While they were choosing tools, Jiang Yichen glanced at Luo Yue who had not left.

"Please say!"

"It seems that they didn't bring any daily necessities with them. Can I pay you to help them buy daily necessities and living supplies? Of course, once they can be self-sufficient, they won't need your help. Or I can pay a little more living expenses here, and you can arrange their accommodation and living."

"I need to consult my superiors."

"Haha! How about you take these people back and I'll notify you when I finish building this place?"

"No, I can agree to this right now."

When Luo Yue heard this, his eyes trembled unconsciously, and he quickly agreed. At worst, he would go back and ask for instructions. Jiang Yicheng was very satisfied with his understanding of the situation and took out a wad of money from his bag and gave it to him.

"Thank you very much. Here is 5,000 yuan. I don't have a ticket, so you can do whatever you want!"

Luo Yue really admired her boldness this time. Which girl would carry such a large sum of money with her? And give it away without blinking an eye?

"Okay! I'll do it right away."

Luo Yue put the stack of money close to his body and quickly got into the car and left.

"I will go up the mountain with you to cut bamboo. You can leave some people to clear a piece of open space so that we can build a temporary residence later. Oh, and we need to build a simple stove. All the people who cook should stay here."

Jiang Yicheng and Chi Yuan followed them up the mountain, and Grandpa Jiang stayed to help clear the space.

"Boss, you don't have to go up the mountain. There are enough of us."

A thin man in his thirties was somewhat disapproving when he saw that they were really going up the mountain.

"We won't cut bamboo, we'll go up there and take a look. Don't worry, I grew up in the mountains, my parents are both soldiers, I have some skills."

Jiang Yicheng didn't say anything more to him and quickly ran into the woods with Chi Yuan.

"Brother Xun, that should be Chief Chi's grandson. He is quite skilled. I have seen him in the army before."

The thin man is called Li Xun. He used to be a special forces soldier. Because of the sequelae of the war, he can no longer go to the battlefield, nor can he integrate into the society, so he also came here.

"I see! Let's get to work!"

Although Li Xun said this, his eyes would occasionally stare at the place where they disappeared.

Jiang Yicheng and Chi Yuan rushed to the critical point of the outer edge of the mountain in an instant.

"How is it? Are you scared?"

"Anytime!"

Jiang Yicheng raised the corners of his mouth and raised his chin, and Chi Yuan responded with a smile.

After so many years, the two still had a tacit understanding. They followed the direction of the stream and kept going inwards, and finally saw the footprints of large animals.

"It's a herd of antelopes!"

The two men quietly hid behind a tree and saw the antelopes leisurely drinking water by the stream and gesturing to each other.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Jiang Yicheng and Chi Yuan quickly attacked, each dealing with one.

Chi Yuan had a dagger and killed him with one strike. Jiang Yichen didn't have a dagger, but he had just cut a few wooden thorns, which came in handy. He was only one step slower than Chi Yuan.

The herd of antelopes were frightened and ran away, but Chi Yuan and Jiang Yichen each killed two of them.

They stopped chasing and washed away the bloody smell in the stream. They made a simple raft with vines, put the four antelopes on it, and dragged them away.

Li Xun had been paying attention to the noise, and when he heard the rustling and dragging sounds, he quickly ran forward.

"Brother Xun, what are you doing?"

"Zhou Tao, call two people over."

"Xiao'er, Dahan, let's go over there."

When Zhou Tao heard this, he called two people he knew without saying a word. After running a short distance, he saw them pulling a raft.

"Fuck! Meat!"

"What are you standing there for? We can each carry one, which will be much quicker."

"oh oh!"

Several people reacted and immediately carried the prey and left. Jiang Yicheng and Chi Yuan did not follow because Jiang Yicheng held Chi Yuan back.

"Brother Chi Yuan, how about fifty or sixty people? I'm afraid it's not enough!"

"Then let's go hunt some small game."

"Ok!"

The people who were working were very excited to see them each carrying an antelope.

"You went hunting?"

"No! The boss hit me."

"What about them?"

“It’s in the back!”

"Huh? Brother Xun, they didn't come out."

Li Xun's eyes dimmed. These two little brats were so brave.

"I know. One of you can carry this back and I'll go find them."

Li Xun still has some prestige among this group of people. He was very famous in the army before. Even if you haven't seen him in person, you must have heard of him.

Before Jiang Yichen and the others arrived, everyone had already exchanged names, so everyone knew Li Xun now.

"Brother Xun, I'm coming!"

"Go back quickly!"

"it is good!"

Li Xun disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye like an arrow shot from a bow.

"Special forces are special forces. Even after they retire, their skills are still as good as ever."

Someone sighed! Someone immediately agreed.

"Of course, we were eliminated because of our poor skills. But not Brother Xun. I heard that he chose to retire and the army tried to keep him. But his sequelae were too severe and he couldn't overcome them, so he took the initiative to retire."

"No one would be able to bear the consequences if all the people he led were wiped out except himself. If it weren't for this incident, he would have been the deputy commander of the headquarters long ago."

"Okay, stop talking, let's get to work!"

Zhao Kuo, who had been silent all along, interrupted them. He didn't want anyone to keep exposing the scars of his idol.

When Li found the two of them, he discovered that they had very good aim.

Whether it was a pheasant flapping in the air or a rabbit hopping, they could hit it with just one stone and prevent it from escaping.

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Yicheng noticed him immediately, but ignored him when he saw he didn't move. It was not until he picked up the rabbit on the ground that he asked him nonchalantly.

"You smell of blood, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

"Brother Chi Yuan, forget it, that's enough, let's go back!"

"it is good!"

"That's great. You can take these things back with you. We won't fight anymore."

Li Xun took the prey but did not move, still looking at the two of them straight.

"I'm telling the truth, forget it, let's go first!"

Jiang Yichen felt that this man was really stubborn, but considering his kindness, she didn't mind his insubordination.

When the three men passed by the group of people cutting bamboo, they were all surprised for a few seconds, and then continued with what they were doing in silence.

"Cheng Cheng, Chi boy, you are back."

Grandpa Jiang saw some blood on Jiang Yichen's clothes, and hurriedly pulled her up and down to check her.

“Grandpa, this is antelope blood. I am not injured.”

"That's good! You don't have to go to the mountains anymore. Comrade Luo just sent a batch of food over. He said he would gather all their daily necessities before tonight."

"Well! That's good. Let them finish all the prey! They do physical work, and they need to keep up with the nutrition."

"Don't worry! I've arranged everything."

The cook has already set up the rice pot, and there are two stoves for frying vegetables.

Jiang Yichen couldn't help much, so he and Chi Yuan surrounded the wasteland near the mountain and observed it.

"Brother Chi Yuan, how can we stop the wild animals from coming down the mountain? If I build an orchard here and they come down the mountain and destroy it, I will be at a loss."

"Then we'll build a fence around this place, and I'll find a way to get a few police dogs to guard it for you."

“Police dogs shouldn’t be easy to deal with, right?”

"There is competition for police dogs, and some police dogs are sent away if they don't meet the physical standards at birth."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. But I still have to find a way to build a row of formal houses here. I can't let them live in bamboo houses forever. Although the weather is not cold now, the mountain breeze is still very cold at night."

"Why not let Tang Chao run it? We all need to go to school, but he's the only one who's idle. You can just pay him a salary."

"That's a good idea! Ask him to come tomorrow and get familiar with him first."

"By the way, that guy just now was called Li Xun. Don't be angry with him. He has had a hard time too!"

"What's wrong with him?"

"He used to be one of the best special forces soldiers in my father's army. But he participated in a border war and his entire team was wiped out. He barely survived, and his illness was cured, but he was left with severe stress-related sequelae."

"Even if I can't fight anymore, I can still do other things in the army!"

"In theory, yes, but he just couldn't get over it. He still can't sleep well and has nightmares all night long. The army arranged for a psychologist to treat him for a period of time, but he insisted on retiring. Because he is the only child of my grandfather's deceased comrade, my grandfather felt very sorry for him, so he asked him to come to your place to plant trees to see if it can help."

"So what position did he hold when he retired?"

"He was at the battalion level. Although the entire army was wiped out, the war was actually won, albeit a pyrrhic victory. If nothing had happened to him, he would have been promoted to deputy regimental level."

"My father was also a battalion commander when he died. If he were still alive, An An and I would have grown up in the army."

Then I won't meet you! Chi Yuan said silently in his heart.

At noon, Jiang Yichen and his companions ate with these veterans. In the afternoon, they were very skillful and quickly built a bamboo house that could barely accommodate them.

As evening approached, Luo Yue sent over a large truckload of daily necessities.

"Comrade Jiang, this is the shopping list. The money you gave me has not been used up yet."

Jiang Yichen didn't look at the shopping list, nor did he take the remaining money.

"No need. I believe you will not regret wearing this uniform. I will arrange for a person in charge to come and meet with you tomorrow. You can talk to him directly about the subsequent purchase of supplies."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first. I'll send them a batch of supplies every three days until they can be self-reliant."

"Okay, take care!"

Jiang Yichen saw that they had packed up and said a few words to them in the open space.

"Please make do with what you have for now. I will arrange for someone to build a proper dormitory for you as soon as possible. It will be cold at night, so everyone should pay attention to wind protection. It is best to light a fire outside the house and be careful of the wild animals in the mountains. See you tomorrow!"

Chi Yuan sent Jiang Yicheng and his grandfather back to the community, and he went home to report what happened today to his grandfather.

"She still has to go to school, and she's already doing very well. If she needs your assistance later, you can be flexible. You won't lose anything anyway."

Grandpa Chi had been paying attention to them at home, so he thought Jiang Yichen's requests were very reasonable.

"Dad, I know. I've been preparing supplies for her this afternoon."

Chi Nan felt a little helpless, but he was not the kind of person who would destroy the bridge after crossing it.

"Dad, Chengcheng will probably need someone more later. Please give him/her appropriate assistance so that he/she can ask for it again in the future."

"Xiao Yuan, there are already 20 more people today than what was said, how can she fit more people in?"

"No, she wants to turn her orchard into a one-stop business. She will probably use the fruit to do other businesses in the future, so won't she have to hire more people?"

"Yes! I understand. Don't let anyone know about this. There are too many people to be resettled. If they all come to ask for mercy, it will be hard for me to handle it."

"Ok!"

Chi Nan raised his lips and left humming a little tune. Grandpa Chi and his grandson smiled at each other and returned to their rooms tacitly.
