As soon as Jiang Ci went out for a run in the morning, several laborers in the family went to work in the fields.

Now when I got home, I saw Ye Wan lighting the fire in the kitchen, preparing to cook.

"Mom, let me do it."

"Now that you two are back, why don't you walk outside for a while? It's cool outside now, and it's comfortable to walk around."

Ye Wan lit the stove and gave the kitchen to Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng.

Ye Wan went out to the fields. The couple has been very close to each other recently. Whenever Jiang Ci enters the kitchen, Lin Jingsheng will follow her to help her light the fire.

The corn in this field was not planted in one day, so there is no rush to weed it every day.

We only weeded early in the morning when it was just dawn, and after breakfast, we worked in the fields for a while before the sun rose high, and then we went home.

In the past few days, the first round of weeding in the field is almost completed. This time, weeding will kick out the areas with many corn seedlings, and add corn seedlings to the areas with few and sparse areas.

In half a month or a month, the grass in the field will grow again, and you won't need to weed again then.

But what comes next is the bean harvest.

After adding rice to the pot for breakfast, Jiangci will also add some noodles to make rice soup instead of the previous rice tea.

People who are used to having three meals a day say that if they only drink rice tea in the morning, they will feel hungry early in the afternoon.

Jiang Ci took out a few steamed buns made of coarse flour from the cupboard and put them on the pot.

After Jiang Ci cooked breakfast this way several times, Ye Wan felt that it was really good and started cooking breakfast this way too.

"Ah Sheng, get some more pickles."

"it is good."

The pickles in the bowl were almost gone, so Lin Jingsheng scooped out half a bowl from the jar of pickled vegetables, added some oil and mixed it, so that it would taste more delicious.

……

After breakfast, there were fewer people in the fields today. They went to the wasteland at the west end of the village.

Twenty or thirty men were working enthusiastically.

Some were using hoes to weed, some were using baskets to pick up stones, and some were carrying piles of weeds out.

Lin Shan, Lin Jingchen and Lin Jingan did not work in the fields today.

Lin Shan and Lin Jingchen went to the village in the east where adobe bricks were made to make them.

Lin Jing'an worked with them in the wasteland and was like a supervisor.

This way Jiang Ci doesn't have to stay here watching all the time.

Whether it was recruiting people to make toothbrushes last time or finding people to build a soap factory this time, Jiangci was the one who put forward the suggestions and someone else did the rest.

If he were to do the whole process himself, there is no telling how many obstacles he would encounter.

After the toothbrush business was stable, Ye Shu and Lin Shan wanted to give the money they earned to him and Lin Jingsheng.

Jiang Ci had to refuse for a long time before letting Ye Wan and Lin Shan take the money earned from the toothbrushes.

However, every time they went to the dock to deliver the toothbrush, after paying, Ye Wan or Lin Shan would give Jiang Ci a few taels of silver.

Now, Ye Wan and Lin Shan are paying for the construction of the soap factory, purchasing land, bricks and hiring workers.

Even though they made a lot of money from making toothbrushes, it was far from enough to make the soap factory profitable.

At the time of Si, the sun was high in the sky. Just standing in this place without any shade, I was sweating slightly.

Not to mention the group of people working in the fields, who were sweating profusely.

Jiang Ci went home and cooked a pot of mung bean soup and added some sugar to it.

As soon as Lin Jingsheng entered the yard, he saw Jiang Ci busy in the kitchen.

"Aci, go back to the house and rest. I'll light the fire."

"What were you doing just now? Your legs haven't healed yet, don't do such a lot of exercise."

Lin Jingsheng patiently listened to Jiang Ci's caring words, "I remember everything Ah Ci said. My body has a strong ability to recover. Ah Ci, believe me."

"Ah."

Jiang Ci went out and washed her face with well water, without drying it, and ran back into the house.

Jiang Ci is most satisfied with the coolness of the well water. He is even a little worried about how to survive this hot summer.

In modern fan air conditioners, the fan keeps blowing even when the air conditioner is not turned on, but there is no fan here!

But fortunately there is someone who is willing to fan him.

Thinking of this, the sadness on Jiang Ci's face turned into a smile.

But fortunately, the weather here is not as hot as in his home today.

When I go to bed at night, I open the window and there is a cool breeze blowing in from outside. I hold Mrs. Bamboo in my arms and lie on the soft bamboo mat that Lin Jingsheng has just woven. It is still very cool.

Jiang Ci also tore off some cloth to use as a summer quilt and covered herself with it at night, even if it was just covering her belly.

Jiang Ci was really not used to things without a cover.

Lin Jingsheng didn't understand this at all, but expressed his respect.

After the cooked mung bean soup was cooled in the well water, Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng each carried a bucket, a ladle and a bowl and went to the wasteland.

Lin Jingsheng: "When those people see this, they will be so happy that they can't stop smiling."

Jiang Ci: "It's not that exaggerated."

Lin Jingsheng: "What I said is true. When others work, their employers just deliver water."

When the two of them carried the mung bean soup to the wasteland, everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted them.

Another reason is that I saw what they were holding in their hands.

"Hey, Jingsheng and Ci Ge'er are here!"

Lin Jingsheng: "Well, Ah Ci cooked mung bean soup to cool everyone down."

When Lin Jing'an saw Lin Jingsheng and Jiang Ci coming, he put down the work in his hands and hurried over here.

Jiang Ci scooped a bowl of mung bean soup and handed it to Lin Jingan.

Lin Jing'an took Dunton's drink and finished the bowl of mung bean soup in just a few gulps.

Lin Jingan: "It's still sweet, so refreshing!"

Lin Jingsheng: "Everyone, put down your work first and come over to drink some mung bean soup to cool down."

"Okay, here we come!"

Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng scooped mung bean soup for everyone, one bowl per person, and there was no extra for everyone.

This is not like cold water, which has no cost.

However, those who drank the bowl of mung bean soup were all very happy.

Lin Chuan finished drinking the mung bean soup and handed the bowl to Lin Jingsheng, "Just based on this mung bean soup with sugar, I have to work hard for you. This land can be finished in three days."

Lin Hu, who picked up a hoe, also agreed, "Brother Chuanzi is right, I will finish it for you in three days."

Lin Jingsheng: "Don't be so hasty, it's quite hot today, wait till the early afternoon before working."

"Working for your family is more comfortable than working in town."

"That's not right. The wages are about the same, and there's green bean soup, and they can rest for more than an hour at noon."

They really enjoy working here than in town.

Although the wages are not as high as those in the town, how many of them can find high-paying jobs in the town, and how many of them cannot find jobs.

Since his family in the village does not provide meals, they can go back to their own home to eat, which saves them money and they can eat more at home.

……

After lunch, Jiang Ci asked, "What should we do with the wood for the factory beams? Can we just cut it down from the mountain behind?"

Lin Shan: "Okay, tomorrow I'll take a few people to the back mountain to find some suitable trees and chop them down and bring them back."

Ye Wan: "Although there is no precedent for this, the factory we built mainly recruits people from our village. The elders and villagers have no objection and will sell it to us in a good way."

Jiang Ci: "That's fine, we're still recruiting people in the village anyway."
