"Really? Auntie, what do you think about letting cousin Xiaohu work in this orchard?"

Jiang Duoduo asked with a smile.

"Here? Of course... of course!"

Chen Shufang had heard Ma Hongjuan brag about Zhang Shuisheng being the director of Xinxin Orchard, earning 8000 yuan a month! He got a holiday during the Lunar New Year, a year-end bonus, and all sorts of other benefits to take home during the holidays.

Even the most ordinary fruit farmer in the orchard earns 4500 yuan a month, and the benefits during the New Year and other holidays are particularly good.

However, since the opening of Xinxin Orchard, it seems that there is only Zhang Shuisheng in charge of its management and four fruit farmers.

The other people who organized the event were all temporary workers. Once the event was over, the orchard would no longer need so many people.

So even if the villagers wanted to work at Xinxin Orchard, they had no way to do so.

Chen Shufang was of course very happy that her son Xiaohu could work at Xinxin Orchard.

"Then when we have lunch, let's ask cousin if he's willing?"

Jiang Duoduo followed everyone to the east side of the orchard. The ticket inspector had just said that the grapefruit trees on the east side were growing lushly. Xu Susu, who was running in the front, was quite clever.

"At noon? Your cousin went out early this morning and told me mysteriously that he was going to do a part-time job. I don't know if it's true or not. How about I give him a call and ask him?"

Chen Shufang is now a little impatient to tell this good news to her eldest son. Such a good job is hard to find in their village even with a lantern!

"No need to call Auntie, let's go sit over there first, eat some grapefruit and play around. My cousin works part-time at Xinxin Orchard. I just asked him to replace Ma Hongjuan selling tickets."

"Let's ask him to come over for lunch and then we can ask him!"

Jiang Duoduo smiled and took Chen Shufang's arm, pulling her forward quickly.

When the second brother saw his younger sister and aunt talking about finding a job for his cousin, he and the third brother went ahead.

"Ah? Xiaohu is working part-time at Xinxin Orchard? This...this is too much of a coincidence, right?"

After being surprised, Chen Shufang was extremely excited. She kept patting Jiang Duoduo's hand, and the smile in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"What a coincidence! Hahaha! Then, Auntie, can we go eat our pomelo in peace now?"

Jiang Duoduo tilted her head and looked at Chen Shufang like a little girl.

"Eat... I think I can eat several at once! Duoduo, your orchard is really nice. They are all red-fleshed grapefruits. They look so sweet!"

When Chen Shufang is in a good mood, everything seems good to her.

She and Jiang Duoduo walked hand in hand and quickly caught up with the second and third brothers who were walking in front.

Chen Shuyue, the eldest and fourth brothers, and Chen Wang are still a little ahead.

Xu Susu and several other children were at the front. They had been running since the beginning and had now reached the pomelo tree with the most fruit in the east.

"Second Aunt, Sister Lai Di, come quickly. This pomelo tree is so huge, and the yellow pomeloes on it are bigger than my head. Should we sit here?"

Xu Susu stood under a big pomelo tree and looked up. Several children were too short to reach the pomelo fruits on it, so they surrounded Xu Susu and asked her to pick the pomelo for them to eat.

"Sure! We'll be there soon!"

Jiang Lai Di pulled Chen Wang, and the two of them trotted a few steps to where Xu Susu and the children were.

At this moment, Xu Susu had picked a pomelo from the tree that was bigger than her face and began to peel it with the small knife prepared by the orchard.

Several children surrounded her quietly, watching her without blinking, waiting to share the pomelo.

"Wow! The grapefruits here are really big. Let me pick one and try it!"

Jiang Lai Di walked around the pomelo tree, picked a big pomelo and started peeling it.

Seeing that there were too many people on his side and the orchard did not have enough chairs, Chen Wang put down the bag in his hand and ran out to find someone to move the chairs.

They were at the innermost part of the pomelo orchard on the east side. The fruit trees here were very lush and the fruits were much larger than those outside.

There were almost no other tourists inside except Jiang Duoduo and her group.

Because other tourists thought that all fruit trees were the same, as soon as they entered the pomelo orchard, they sat down on the trees and started picking pomeloes.

As Jiang Duoduo and her companions walked along, they also found that there were no outdoor tables and chairs under the fruit trees.

There was only a set of outdoor tables and chairs under the large grapefruit tree at the back. My eldest sister and her friends were already eating grapefruit there.

"Duoduo, there are so many of us. It seems there aren't enough chairs here. How about we bring a few in from outside?"

"There are tables and chairs under every tree outside, but why is there only one set of tables and chairs for such a large row of trees inside?"

Chen Shufang looked around and said with some confusion.

"I guess the grapefruits here are better than those outside. The people in the orchard must want to save them for some important guests. That's why they only prepared one set of outdoor seating!"

Jiang Duoduo explained to Chen Shufang based on her own understanding.

Indeed, this is the place Zhang Shuisheng prepared for the families of his fruit partners to come and play.

In previous years, whenever the orchard held an event, Zhang Shuisheng would invite those partners to come and play, and this year was no exception.

Yesterday, Mr. Chen, who runs a fruit supermarket in the county, brought his wife, children and mother-in-law to the orchard to play for most of the day.

"Oh... I see! Since we've taken the seat of their important guest, will the people in the orchard come and ask us to leave?"

When Chen Shufang heard Jiang Duoduo say that this was a seat for important guests, she began to worry again whether she would be kicked out.

"Hahaha... Auntie, why are you so funny? Have you forgotten that I'm the owner of the orchard? It's up to us to decide where we sit!"

"Right, right, right, Duoduo, look at my memory! How could I forget that you're the owner of the orchard? Then let's go outside and move some chairs over."

"Okay, Auntie, I can move the chairs by myself. These outdoor chairs can be folded up and I can move several of them by myself. Go find my mom over there. Look, she's already sitting there setting up the tea set!"

As soon as Jiang Duoduo finished speaking, Chen Wang, who had gone out to move a chair, happened to walk over to them.

"Duoduo, go eat some grapefruit with Auntie! I'll just move the chairs!"

"Okay... then I'll trouble you, brother-in-law!"

Jiang Duoduo didn't bother to be polite with Chen Wang. She smiled and waved to him, then walked towards the huge pomelo tree with Chen Shufang.

"Mom, you and Sister Duoduo are so annoying! We've already eaten several pieces of grapefruit! Here...you guys come and have a piece too. It's red and so sweet!"

Xu Susu broke the pomelo in her hand into three pieces with disgust. She ate one piece herself and gave the remaining two pieces to Chen Shufang and Jiang Duoduo who had just arrived.

"You kid, you're not in a hurry to reincarnate, why are you walking so fast?"

"Pah, pah, pah... Big sister, what are you talking about? So many children are here!"

Chen Shufang blurted out a word, which scared Chen Shuyue who was making tea in a thermos beside her and made her spit several times.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh...even the old man doesn't mind what he says!"

Chen Shufang usually believed in these things, so she quickly followed Chen Shuyue and spat several times.
