"It's like this, Jianjun and I have been very busy lately and haven't been able to come back often, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you and my brother to take care of Fubao and Qiuqiu."

“Jianjun and I have been helping people in the city sell clothes and radios during this time.”

"Although it's not our business, it's inconvenient for them to come out, so we're the ones helping out."

“This always involves taking money, and Jianjun and I are genuinely worried that someone with ulterior motives might take notice and then try to take advantage of Fubao and Qiuqiu.”

"So I'd like to trouble you and your sister-in-law to help with the pick-up and drop-off."

“We pay for our own meals here. How about we give you and your older brother 50 yuan a month? Is that okay?”

“Tingting, you’re being unreasonable. These are all our nephews and nieces, we’re all family. How could we possibly accept your money?”

“It’s precisely because we’re family that we can’t take advantage of each other. It’s not easy for anyone. Jianjun and I go to the city to earn money, all for the sake of our children.”

"These seven children need money for schooling and marriage, so we have to work hard."

"Jianjun and Tingting, how much do you get paid a month for the business you help out with?"

"That's right, sister-in-law. We're paid by the day. If there are a lot of people and we're busy, it's 60 yuan per person per day."

"That's too much! How much does a person earn in a month these days?"

“Jianjun, Tingting, this month’s salary is 1800.”

“We don’t go there every day. We only went to help for two days recently, and then we helped with loading the goods.”

"Are you still hiring for this job? People are already setting up stalls on their own, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"It's nothing, just small-scale operations, nothing serious. I only have this because this person is quite capable, otherwise I wouldn't be able to set up such a big stall."

“Jianjun, you and Tingting are really in luck now. Even if you only go for two days or a few days a month, that’s still equivalent to a city worker’s monthly salary.”

"Sister-in-law, after hearing what you said, I'd like to ask if you have any other jobs that I can help with?"

“I was thinking that your nephew isn’t at home either; he’s farming now. If there’s a job like this, you could let him go and help out.”

"Brother, sister-in-law, I have another job to do. I hope you can help me out. You know there are a lot of wild fruits, hazelnuts, walnuts and the like, on the mountain around here."

"I also need a lot of it. Brother and sister-in-law, I need a lot too, and someone will want to buy it."

“You know our village doesn’t have much income, right? Whether it’s our village or the next village, you can help me collect these things.”

"They're all from the mountains. If there's ginseng or lingzhi, I'll take them all. If there's grain, that's fine too."

"So many things, Tingting, Jianjun, who are you going to give them to?"

“These aren’t what we want. They’re for our current employers. They’re the ones they want to buy. You see, there are plenty of people in the village who know how to weave mats, aren’t there?”

"Whether it's our village or another village, we'll accept it as long as it's available."

"Tingting, Jianjun, you can't let anything happen to you, can you? I'm worried that someone might say something about you and report you."

"Besides, we haven't heard anything about setting up stalls, so is that even allowed?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The boldest will get the most out of you. Everyone says it's okay now."

"Besides, we're all ordinary people. Jianjun and I are just working for others. Don't worry, over the years, have you ever seen Jianjun and I as people who don't know what's going on?"

"Alright then, Jianjun, Tingting, you two have always been resourceful and capable, better than your brother and me."

"What are you thinking about your second brother? It wouldn't be right not to tell them."

"Second brother, sister-in-law, please go and tell them on my behalf."

"These things aren't given to you for nothing, brother and sister-in-law, you've helped out."

“If we receive 1,000 jin, we’ll give you and your brother 40 yuan. We charge per piece for the mats.”

"Of course, if you collect too much of this later, you should let our captain know."

"We can't go over their head, or they won't be happy about it."

“I understand, Jianjun and Tingting. We still have plenty of walnuts and hazelnuts here when they are in season.”

"Walnuts and such are priced by weight. We also need wood ear mushrooms and other similar items, as long as they are from the mountains."

“Okay, Tingting, Jianjun, I’ll start collecting from the village first, and then I’ll bring the things back after I’m done.”

"You can tell them the price later. Anyway, it's all from the mountains and it's not worth much."

What do you think?

"Okay, no problem. I'll have to trouble you all then. I'm also planning to visit Meili's house."

"We'll ask them to help out then. You can talk to your second brother and sister-in-law. It's definitely something that can make money. Prioritize the family first."

"Okay, Jianjun, Tingting, I'm very happy to hear you two say that."

"Jianjun, won't we be short-handed by then? When will we be able to recruit enough people?"

"Don't rush. When we give them the money, they'll believe it's real, and then everyone in our village will be worried."

"Once we go to restock, we can sell these hazelnuts and walnuts and make a fortune."

"The most important thing is that there will definitely be houses and shops available for sale in Yue City at that time. It's the right thing for us to do is to set up more shops."

"We don't have much capital right now, so let's leave it at that for now and make more money first."

"Okay, let's go to Meili's house and talk to him. We'll also check what our parents wrote in their letters when we get back."

"We'll ask our parents to help us collect more of these dried goods so we can sell them later."

"Yes, we'll have to pick up our parents then, so this is a good opportunity to make money."

"Beautiful, beautiful, are you at home?"

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, you've arrived."

"Why is the door locked in broad daylight?"

“I’m pregnant, and Daguo is worried about me. He won’t let me go out to work and makes me lock the front door of the house.”

"It's alright. This Sun Daguo is quite attentive to you. Your third sister-in-law and I have been too busy recently, and we haven't been able to come see you since you got pregnant."

"I just finished up. By the way, where's your son? I can't find him."

"He went out with his father and hasn't come back yet. Do you need to see Da Guo?"

"You guessed right. We have a job here. You can ask Daguo if he's interested in doing it. It's about collecting mountain products and such."

"We want things like wood ear mushrooms, hazelnuts, wild mushrooms, and fish."

"If we collect 1000 jin, we'll give you 40 yuan. The more you work, the more you earn. Do you think he'd be willing to do it?"
