Chapter 144: Go To The Farmland
After Duan Yixin left with the wooden bucket, Liushiliu continued cleaning the wild boar. Duan Yixin walked for more than twenty minutes before arriving at her farmland. When she arrived, she saw her workers busy clearing weeds from the farm.
Seeing her coming, the youngest worker stopped what he was doing and stood up. After wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he walked up to her. Seeing the wooden bucket in Duan Yixin’s hand, he took it from her and said, "Miss Duan, good morning. Are you here to inspect the farm?"
Duan Yixin nodded and said, "Yes. I’m also here to deliver liquid fertilizer."
After speaking, Duan Yixin looked at the boy and said, "It seems I don’t know your name yet."
The boy smiled at her and said politely, "Miss Duan, my name is Ji Hongwei. I am fourteen years old this year."
Duan Yixin looked at Ji Hongwei’s thin body, which looked even thinner than her own, and thought to herself, ’I thought he was only ten years old. Surprisingly, he is actually already fourteen years old.’
Ji Hongwei noticed that Duan Yixin was staring at him and said hurriedly, "Miss Duan, although I am thinner than other people of the same age, I can assure you that I can do better than most adults."
Duan Yixin was stunned when she heard him suddenly say that. Seeing her just staring at him, Ji Hongwei added anxiously, "Miss Duan, please don’t fire me. I really need this job. I still have grandparents and younger siblings at home that depend on my daily wage."
Duan Yixin saw his eyes were red and said gently, "You misunderstood. I didn’t mean to fire you. You took good care of the farm, and I am very satisfied with the result."
