It's so hard, I'm dressed like a group favorite in the 1960s

Liu Qian followed behind with a depressed look on his face, muttering softly, "This old man must be so unscrupulous because Jiang Junjun and the others are not at home. No one can control him! His mouth is really choking." As he said that, he raised his head, only to find that Grandpa Jiang had already put some distance between them.

"Wait for me..." Liu Qian shouted hurriedly. However, Grandpa Jiang seemed to have completely ignored his voice and continued to stride forward. Seeing this, Liu Qian could only pout and reluctantly quicken his pace to catch up.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Liu Qian asked breathlessly after finally catching up with Grandpa Jiang.

Grandpa Jiang glanced back at him and replied unhappily, "Look around here, there are so many mountains! If we don't hurry, how can we finish the circle before dark? Don't you want to go home early? Anyway, I want to go back. I have a whole family waiting for me at home!"

No matter what Liu Qian said, Grandpa Jiang always found a reason to refute him. In fact, Grandpa Jiang did this simply to make himself feel good. After all, he was so old, so he naturally wanted to live a free and easy life.

He is so tired every day, so these useless people must know how hard he works.

In this way, the two of them walked and stopped along the way, and before they knew it, they had actually spent a whole day to roughly check all the surrounding mountains.

Due to the tight schedule, they couldn't even get home for lunch, so they could only make do with what they had on hand. Fortunately, as the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain," there were all kinds of food on the mountain, so they didn't go hungry.

"Oh, how can this matter be resolved so quickly?

Look, you really treat me like the old donkey in our team!" Liu Qian complained as he slowly walked down the mountain with his legs feeling heavy as lead.

At this moment, he felt as if his two legs no longer belonged to him. Every step he took felt like he was stepping on a pile of cotton, soft and strengthless.

"You know, time is equal to money! Let's just treat this as a rare opportunity to practice.

Besides, our team doesn’t have donkeys, only cows.

But honestly, I'm exhausted today, having inspected almost the entire area. When you get home, you'll need to calm down and think carefully about which piece of wasteland would be most suitable for reclamation.

Otherwise, my efforts would be in vain. It is not easy for me with my old arms and legs.

Remember, we'll gather everyone tomorrow morning to start the work. Also, if there's an area that's been reclaimed more, we can also divide a portion of it up as private plots for each household.

Don't be impatient or careless in doing anything. I can't always break down these principles and explain them to you clearly, right?" Grandpa Jiang said a lot in one breath, and then he no longer paid attention to Liu Qian and walked straight towards home.

The shrewd old man had already made up his mind. He chose the downhill route to take on his way back, because this route happened to pass by the mountain right next to his home. In this way, the journey home would naturally be shortened a lot.

Liu Qian was originally lowering his head, thinking about something. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were focused yet a little confused.

However, just as he was immersed in his thoughts, he inadvertently looked up and was surprised to find that Grandpa Jiang had disappeared at some point.

He blinked and quickly glanced around, suddenly noticing the towering, lush mountain before him.

Isn’t this the mountain that the Jiang family relies on?

Liu Qian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Oh my! Look at the Jiang family! They're so meticulous and quick to act! In comparison, I'm so far behind! Whether it's their heart or their brains, I'm nowhere near as good as them!"

Although he knew in his heart that there was a gap between them, Liu Qian also knew clearly that no matter what, the Jiang family would eventually leave this small mountain village and fly to a wider world; while he was destined to stay here and continue to live an ordinary and hard life.

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, muttering, "Alas, this life is so miserable that I have no place to complain! There is no other way, I can only work harder!"

After saying this, Liu Qian walked home listlessly with heavy steps.

When he finally stepped into the house, the first thing he did was to shout to his wife: "Wife, please make me some soup to nourish my body! I am exhausted all day today. It seems that I really need to exercise more in the future!" Then, like a deflated ball, he sat down heavily on the old rocking chair in the middle of the yard, staring at the sky with his eyes, and said no more.

At this time, Qian Chuanzi, who was jumping around, was just returning home from school.

He immediately spotted his grandfather sitting in a rocking chair in a daze, and quickly ran over to him. He approached his grandfather and asked curiously, "Grandpa, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

I heard from the village ladies that you went hiking in the mountains with Grandpa Jiang for a whole day today! " In fact, as early as after school, when he heard the adults chatting about the scene where their grandfather was scolded by Grandpa Jiang, the clever Qian Chuanzi had already sketched out in his mind the miserable appearance of his grandfather at that time.

I feel sorry for my grandfather.

Now seeing my grandfather's listless look, I felt that my guess was right. He must have been scolded badly today.

"Hey, if you have anything to eat, bring some to grandpa! Home is the best." Liu Qian felt very comforted when he heard his grandson's worries.

When Grandpa Jiang returned home, he saw the whole family sitting in the yard waiting for him.

"Hey, we went for a walk in the mountains today. Have you guys finished your meal?" Grandpa Jiang was also a little guilty. He walked in the mountains for a whole day on a whim and told his family about it. However, when he and Liu Qian went up the mountain, they saw some villagers and told them. Otherwise, he would probably have been punished by Grandma Jiang when he came back.

"You are really energetic. Can you train a person in one day?" Grandma Jiang glared at Grandpa Jiang unhappily.

"I'm just thinking about getting rid of it as soon as possible so that we can enjoy ourselves when we have nothing to do." Grandpa Jiang took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I see that our courtyard is about to be built, and I'm thinking of chatting with you every day, playing and having fun, and enjoying my old age."

It turned out that the Gu family also had Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, Murong Feiyu and Hua Shang and they were all thinking of building another house so that there would be more space when the children came over.

In the end, everyone decided that the old guys should build a few houses and live in the back, where it would be quieter. They would live in the same courtyard, so they could talk and chat.

The Jiang family's current yard here will be left to the young people.

We’ll talk about it when there are more people.

Ever since this decision was implemented, Grandpa Jiang started plotting and quickly sold the goods in his hands.
