Because I didn't have to work in the afternoon, I had a particularly leisurely lunch.

It just so happened that Gu Qingqing also had something to say to Zhao Dong.

"Brother Dong, you should have heard about what happened between Uncle Meihua and me yesterday. You also saw that I was tied up with family matters and couldn't get away. Even if I could get away, my physical strength is limited. Although there is no clear division of labor between Meihua and me, we have to dig 900 kilograms of peeled bamboo shoots first, and it's not good to let Yuzhu and his family come all the way, so I need two people to accompany Yuzhu to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots."

When Gu Qingqing said this, Zhao Dong nodded. He naturally knew what they said yesterday.

When it comes to work, we have to talk about money. Gu Qingqing made several bends in her mouth before she said, "Regarding the wages..."

"Give it to me as you see fit." Zhao Dong didn't care.

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "Ha! Brother Dong is straightforward. Meihua and I are cooperating on this matter, so I get half of the profits. Since you guys helped me bear the bulk of the bamboo shoots digging, then my share of the profits should be divided into two parts, half for each of us."

Gu Qingqing immediately started to take advantage of the situation. She had to because Zhao Dong and his people were too stubborn. They always felt that they did not do any work, but they had food, drink and shelter in her house, yet they refused to charge more money.

Well, Gu Qingqing also understood their mentality. They used to have no place to live, their work was hard and they didn’t eat well.

Again, she is not an unscrupulous boss!

Zhao Dong took a look at his boss's reaction and muttered in his heart: There shouldn't be much money!

On the other side, Gu Qingqing asked Old Yang to be a witness and immediately started slapping him in the face.

"I get four cents for one pound of pickled bamboo shoots, so eight hundred pounds is three ounces and two hundred cents. Let's split it in half, one ounce and six hundred cents each. You can't go back on your promise just now. Don't you agree?"

Old Yang looked at the frustrated Zhao Dongle and laughed, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your boss is very generous, just take it."

Zhao Dong thought about it before agreeing.

As a result, Zhao Dong arranged for Zhao Nan and Zhao Feng to go up the mountain in the afternoon. Seeing that Gu Qingqing was about to say something, he said first, "There is no problem for them to go on the main road. Let them go and take a look." After that, he continued to fiddle with the bamboo in his hand at home.

Gu Qingqing, who had a rare opportunity to rest at home, simply steamed two large pots of steamed buns in the afternoon, so that the family could have some dry food while eating porridge.

......

On the third day, the driver who had gone out to check the road came back and said, "It is now possible to go."

When Feng Zhijin found Madam Wen in the front yard, she was talking to the man who helped her that day. This was the second time she had met that man. She didn't know why her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She originally planned to turn around and leave first, and wait for Madam Wen to be busy before saying goodbye to her.

As a result, Gu Qingqing and Zhao Dong both noticed her and looked over. Especially Gu Qingqing, who was used to living in the countryside, shouted, "Miss Feng, what's the matter?"

Feng Zhijin knew that it would be a bit too much to turn around and leave at this time, so he straightened his body slightly and walked towards the two of them. "Just now the driver told Amber that the road can be used. I came here to thank Madam Wen for taking me in, and secondly, to say goodbye."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at the man who helped her yesterday. Just as she was about to thank him, she didn't know that the other party's slightly magnetic voice had already sounded, "I know, I will go and ask over there."

Obviously, this was not said to her.

"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Dong." Gu Qingqing shouted at Zhao Dong's back as he left.

The breath Feng Zhijin raised was suddenly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't breathe it out.

"The road is not muddy? I think it would not be too late to wait two or three days. Otherwise, the car will get stuck on the road and you will suffer." Gu Qingqing thought about the muddy road in the village and said with some concern.

"Thank you, Madam Wen. We have already caused you trouble, so we will not bother you any further. But these clothes..." Feng Zhijin said as he looked down at the clothes on his body.

Their clothes were washed yesterday, and although the sun was shining brightly, it was not strong enough to dry them.

"Just put it on and bring it back for me next time you come." Gu Qingqing saw her embarrassment and said indifferently.

"This can only be the case. Thank you very much, Madam Wen."

Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Gu Qingqing didn't want to stop her from leaving, so she just said, "If the road is difficult, just come back."

"it is good."

After they left, Gu Qingqing went to clean up the east wing, but found a small silver nugget on the table. She picked it up and tossed it in her hand, smiling, "This young lady from a wealthy family is really good at doing things."

......

A day later, Gu Qingqing saw that Gu Zhuangzhuang had not come yet. She looked at the big sweet potato seedlings and had no choice but to pull them out herself and put them in a bamboo basket to send over.

Before leaving, I said hello to Old Yang and the duties of cook were handed over to him again.

At the same time, he also apologized to Meihua who came home, "I have to go back to my parents' home today. I asked Dahua to call Zhaoqin. Let her help me today. I will try to come back as early as possible."

"Sister-in-law, just take care of your own business. The bamboo shoots we carried down from the mountain are already peeled, so your family doesn't have to bother carrying water, and it's not hard for me to make it. In my opinion, don't bother Zhao Qin, I can do it alone." When Luo Meihua heard that she was going back to her parents' home, she hurried to persuade her.

"It's okay, Dahua has already gone." Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qin walked into the courtyard.

Gu Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation and asked her to help. "Well, what do I think of it? Just go about your own business. I will definitely not let you fall to the ground."

"I won't take care of the house anymore. You guys take care of it. I'll go early and come back early." After saying this, Gu Qingqing went out carrying the sweet potato seedlings.

When she arrived at Shuangxi Village, only Gu Jia was at home, and she was extremely happy to see her.

"Why are you here?"

"Mom, how are the sweet potato seedlings you grew? I didn't see you coming to my house to get them, but I think it's time to pick them now, so I brought them to you while the road is easy to walk on." Gu Qingqing said as she turned around to let her see the seedlings in her bamboo basket.

Gu Jia raised her hand and just moved the seedlings she carried on her back, and said, "Hey, the seedlings you raised are still strong. My seedlings look a little thin, and it seems that they are about the same. Xiaocao and Zhuangzhuang went to the field over there to plant seedlings today. I originally wanted to let Zhuangzhuang go to your house tomorrow, but I thought you would deliver them today."

"Have they gone already? Let me see the seedlings you grew." Gu Qingqing said as she took off the bamboo basket on her back and went to see the sweet potato seedlings they grew in the backyard vegetable garden.

After watching for a while, she said, "Maybe you planted the sweet potatoes too close together, so they are a little crowded."

Gu Jia agreed, "That's right. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when the seedlings came out, I thought they were a bit too dense. I didn't have any experience in the first year, but if I plant again next year, I'll naturally know what to do."
