Chapter 71: Cleaning The Farmland, Building The Greenhouses
Chi Xiyou walked in with a bamboo basket on his back and asked, "Father, when are we going to Xin Xin’s farm?"
Chi Junheng turned to look at his son and said, "It’s great that you are back. We should leave now."
Chi Xiyou nodded to his father and then went to the kitchen to ask his mother and younger sister to help clean up the rabbit and pheasants. After thanking them, Chi Xiyou followed his father out.
When Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou arrived at Duan Yixin’s farmland, workers were already waiting for them. Seeing them coming, a worker stood up from the ground to greet them.
"Good morning, Brother Chi. When do we start?" He asked.
Chi Junheng looked at him and said, "We will start cleaning up today. But before we start, please form groups of two. Each group will clean an acre of land, and we will provide breakfast for everyone later. We will pay your wage at the end of the day."
After he finished explaining, a worker asked, "I heard from the village chief that you are also looking for workers to plow the land. Are you also going to hire us to do this job?"
Chi Junheng looked at the worker and said, "Let’s see the results of the work today first and then decide who will get the job for plowing and planting work tomorrow."
Listening to what he said, everyone knew that if Chi Junheng didn’t like the results of their work today, they probably wouldn’t be hired to do plowing and planting work tomorrow. Thinking about how difficult it is to find a job now, the workers are even more motivated to do a good job today.
