ter two laps, he was only panting a little bit.
The workers who saw him were very surprised, not understanding what Wang Cheng was doing.
It wasn ’t until some time later that they knew what Wang Cheng was doing.
Some people felt remorse, but there was no second chance.

At 4 or 5 o ’clock, one group took down their dug-out baskets.
Papa Wang and others picked herbs near the foot of the mountain, some of which were relatively large, such as cassia seeds, which are mainly distributed at the foot of the mountain.
There was also Ban Lan Gen, Poria mushrooms, and more types of herbs.

Grandpa originally wanted to come to help, but it was inconvenient with his health.
Papa Wang and Wang Cheng did not want him to get too tired.
Mama Wang also joined the ranks of persuasion, which eventually caused him to give up the idea.

Some people dug more, some people dug less; Wang Chengdu recorded it, and they dug like this for two days.
On the third day, Wang Cheng settled their wages to them, but when he settled the wages, he asked a question on the way.
There were no villagers who intend to be long-term workers.

He had already figured out the situation of the north mountain.
After discussing with Papa Wang, he planned to reclaim some land in several places and then plant the suitable herbs.
However, it was impossible for the people in his family to complete it.
He needed to plan again, so he directly invited more than a dozen workers from the village, all experienced with strong limbs.

The most important thing was that they were not lazy.

This was the last batch of workers.
He also paid their wages according to working hours so some people thought that their laziness would not be discovered.
They were all separate anyway, so some dug the whole basket of herbs, while others dug only one third.
These people, Wang Cheng wouldn’t recruit again; this was why he ran around the north mountain before.

In the evening, Wang Cheng drew a sketch of the north mountain.
The father and son had a discussion in the living room for more than two hours, and finally planned a few more concentrated areas.

”We can grow some herbs such as honeysuckle and cassia seeds.
These are easier to cultivate, but the Poria mushroom is more troublesome.
The nutrition for its growth is mainly based on the spread of hyphae in the roots and trunks of the Songcun trees, so I ’m afraid we will have to hire a few more workers, ” Papa Wang said.

”The workers are not a problem.
There are many people in the village who are idle and have nothing to do.
We just need to find someone to manage them.
There is also a shortage of people in the fruit mountain.
You can do it, but too much management will be tiring for you. ” From the beginning, Wang Cheng didn ’t plan to do everything himself.
He went to work in Huaying Real Estate for a month or two and also learned management skills.

”Well, let your eldest aunt try? She has been with your grandpa for the longest time and knows a little about herbs. ” Mama Wang came over with a plate of cut fruits.
When she heard the conversation between father and son, she remembered her bitter eldest sister.

Wang Cheng also heard that although the lives of the eldest aunt and cousin were a little better than before, big cousin couldn’t always live like this.
One day if the eldest aunt let go of him, who would take care of the big cousin? So auntie started to collect money early and wanted to take his big cousin to another big hospital to see if it could be cured.
He heard that she went there once last year, but returned without medicine because she ran out of savings.

”Mom, I was going to let the eldest aunt and the big cousin help our family manage the fruit mountain.
The big cousin doesn ’t understand medicinal plants, so it is more suitable for him to go to the fruit mountain. ”

Upon hearing this, Mama Wang felt that it was justified.
”That ’s okay, you decide for yourself. ”

And that was it.

The next day, Papa Wang personally took people to the north mountain to weed it.
The places they chose were covered with weeds, and no one had ever cleaned them up.
Some weeds had grown to their calves, so weeding was a huge problem.
This work would cause backache and pains the next day.
Later, Papa Wang himself hired a dozen more temporary workers and calculated their salary by the hour.
Whoever could complete the day’s work in advance would have their salary raised by a third.
This sudden reward really improved efficiency by a lot.

The eldest aunt was there to assist them.
When they were making jam before, she had also come to help.
She heard that Wang Cheng wanted to ask her to come and do something, and she left her original job without saying a word.

The eldest aunt worked in a restaurant, but she did rough work, washing dishes in the restaurant.
She worked hard every day, but only made a salary of 1,500 yuan a month.
This was the number for more than ten years.
Except for in the beginning when wages rose for two or three years, her salary hadn’t changed since.

Some time ago, the eldest aunt came to help them and asked for a few days off.
The restaurant manager made some remarks about this, and once hinted that if the aunt asked for leave, she would not have to come back again.
Apparently, the eldest aunt had used her vacation already, and the manager was careful and fussy.

The eldest aunt also didn ’t want to be mad anymore.
In the past, she had to consider the big cousin, but now, she didn’t need to.
Because of this, the eldest aunt was very grateful to them and promised to do things well in front of Mama Wang.                                                                             Back
