Chapter 1767

~9 min read 1,748 words

Four o'clock in the morning.

The distant mountains outlined a misty fish-belly white, the morning star in the sky was still twinkling brightly, but the wind in the early summer morning was not refreshing.

At the very least, He He Shuli, sitting on the motorcycle, felt that way.

"It's too hot this year..."

She muttered.

The eldest son riding the motorcycle was already over forty this year, and he responded: "Yes! This God, it's abnormal day by day; in previous years, how could it reach 40° like this..."

The two chatted, and soon the car stopped at the intersection.

The mother and son got off—she had children early, and in those years, there was no talk of adulthood or not in the village; the eldest son was 42, and she was only 59.

In the countryside, it's the time when one can fight and strive.

It's just a little worrying: "If we leave the motorcycle here, won't someone ride it away?"

"That's impossible." The son said decisively: "Who would want this broken motorcycle?"

It was really broken, breaking down every few days. The boss in town had told him several times to ride a new motorcycle back first and pay when he had money—

That would be 300 yuan more expensive than buying it directly!

He couldn't bear it, so he just made do with it.

It's just a pity: "This Yunqiao Village is recruiting workers, why only for one or two days?"

"That's not a small amount." He He Shuli was very satisfied: "Earning a few hundred a day, if we work well and don't be lazy, maybe they'll call us again next time?"

She signed up to sort and clean fish by the pond. It's hot, but not indoors, so the salary is higher, 250 a day.

It doesn't sound good, but it's practical!

The son brought his own tea-picking machine and oil, earning 450 a day!

In short, the two of them looked at the quiet road here, and couldn't help but take out their phones to check the group:

"It seems someone has gotten on the bus... Oh! Someone got on the bus at the intersection of the small stone bridge ahead, and that car will be here soon!"

The mother and son were energized, touched their hats, gloves, and sun-protection sleeves, and the son checked his machine again, waiting full of expectation.

Not long after, a bus with a slight roar drove over the not-so-bright road.

The car stopped accurately at the intersection.

After the two got on the bus, the driver looked at the route map posted in front, and a big 【2】 was written at this intersection.

Alright! The number of people is enough, and the time is accurate, so let's go!

It was just past 4 o'clock in the morning, but the bus was already full of people. He He Shuli was a little carsick, so she didn't go to the back row and simply found a seat in the front.

The person sitting next to her was also an older sister, who was very enthusiastic: "Come sit! What are you going to do?"

"Sorting fish."

"Oh my, that's scorching! I'm going to pick leaves!"

The other party was full of energy and had a strong desire to share.

"In such hot weather, I actually don't want to do the work in my own home, but as soon as someone mentioned recruiting, I did it immediately! Thinking back, isn't it still that no one gives me money? If there's money, I have energy!"

"It's just the work outside, I wanted to do it too. They said I was too old and told me to choose this one. I pondered that the sun is indeed scorching, roasting people from seven or eight o'clock. Picking leaves is picking leaves, there's air conditioning, it's comfortable."

"Our work can be done for two days, how many days can your work be done?"

He He Shuli smiled: "They said three days?"

Oh my!

Just this one-day difference made the person opposite envious, while someone sitting in the back row was also excited at this moment:

"I'm going to pack that corn, they said it's for bundling or something, it's also 250 a day!"

"My daughter won't let me do it, but in this hot weather, I'm perfunctory when cooking alone at home. I heard the food here is good, so it's better to come and do it..."

Everyone talked at once, men and women, lively and extraordinary. The driver listened from the side and couldn't help but click his tongue at this high salary in the countryside.

A relative of his hometown also lives in Qingxi Town, and he was the one who introduced this work!

I heard that digging mountains for others only pays three hundred yuan a day...

Tsk! No wonder they have to charter buses to pick up and drop off; there are really a lot of people.

With a huge crowd of people coming, the old Song family actually has a lot of things to do.

Not many people from the village signed up today.

It's really because during this period of growing and selling vegetables, everyone is busy with their own things. Every household feels heartbroken when seeing such a high salary, but after weighing it for a while, they still choose to guard their own business at home.

This is the weekend, and the weekend is when there are the most tourists!

Actually, the money they earn from selling vegetables isn't necessarily higher than the salary of a short-term worker, but the vegetables grow fast in summer, and if they aren't harvested for a day, they might be a bit old the next day.

If they miss the weekend again, by next week, the vegetable moss should be growing out.

In short, there are gains and losses!

It is precisely because of this concern that Song Tan dared to generously invite the future daughter-in-law of her aunt to come over.

After all, if everyone in the village is in the fields, what will people visit when they come?

The security team on the mountain also has tasks today.

It can even be said that the task is arduous.

Along with more than a dozen dogs, they are not idle; the dogs have to patrol everywhere. And people not only have to watch to see if anyone is uncomfortable, but also watch to see who is lazy, who works steadily and meticulously, and who is not clean-handed and steals things...

The insurance for these temporary short-term workers they called in a hurry only takes effect after 24 hours, so they couldn't add it urgently, so they could only watch more.

Song Tan hadn't paid attention to this before, but now she felt a bit depressed hearing Gao Gong Xinzhi's mania:

The employment process is becoming more and more meticulous, and they are also a decent enterprise, so they can't be like before.

Next time they have experience, they can't be so precise with the time.

But—

"Have the cooling teas been prepared? Prepare some Huoxiang Huoxiang Zhengqi water too! Have the watermelons bought been put in the cold storage?"

In short, she provided what she could provide, she did her best!

Sister Yun Duo hurriedly said: "Everything is prepared, don't worry. The cooling tea started brewing last night."

With so many people, Dr. Xiao Guo can't keep up; she has her own patients to entertain!

So last night, she simply sent over a few large medicine packets and put them in the bucket in the cafeteria.

Working in this hot weather, who in the village doesn't have a large water cup? Just carry a pot for each person.

Chef Jiang, yesterday he led everyone to wrap buns until past eight o'clock, pork and green onion, celery and green onion, pork and vermicelli, plus sauce meat, red bean and sesame, plus the buns wrapped in the refrigerator before, he emptied them all and steamed them.

Since it's hot today, the buns were steamed at 4 o'clock, and the fire in the pot is being turned down now, keeping them warm.

Logically speaking, when working in summer, everyone doesn't eat early in the morning, otherwise it will delay things too much.

It's just right to come back and eat at 9 o'clock.

But it's hot after all, and they are people invited from other villages, so I'm afraid they can't hold on if they don't eat, so let's have a couple of bites first.

Also boiled a few large buckets of mung bean soup, which are now being scooped out bowl by bowl to cool down.

The kitchen helpers haven't arrived at their posts yet; this was temporarily adjusted from the security team to support first.

Chef Jiang finished his work and wiped his sweat—

A chef like him doesn't even need to exert himself to steam buns in the morning, so he isn't tired.

It's just this weather, he's covered in sweat after wandering outside.

On the side, he also instructed: "Chen Yuan, when you pick temporary workers for me, pick those with clean hands, people who are neat, and who look meticulous!"

His kitchen has a cleanliness obsession; no dirt is allowed.

And Sister Yun Duo is also experiencing this scene for the first time, reviewing every arrangement bit by bit, and suddenly her head tightened again:

"Boss, those picking tea leaves are working in our factory's air-conditioned room. Should this be together with other workers?"

The outdoor ones will finish work at 9:30 at the latest. Is it inappropriate for the air-conditioned room to finish work at 9:30?

"Oh, that's fine. Unified car pick-up and drop-off is better to arrange. Besides, if they work overtime, overtime pay will be paid, no need."

Song Tan explained: "Forgot to tell you, after they leave, my grandfather will bring the elderly in the village to work."

The elderly, the slightly disabled, the five-guarantee households, etc.

They are slow, can't do other things, but sitting there picking leaves is no problem.

The air-conditioned room is not afraid of high temperatures, and they are all acquaintances in the same village, used often before, and insurance is complete.

In short, just watch them a little.

The salary is also 150 a day, from 9:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon.

Sister Yun Duo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the time, and looked at the news in the group:

"The car has entered the village!"
