Wang Tiancheng followed his brother's hand and looked over. Before his eyes, it seemed as if yellow dandelions were blooming all over the mountains, interspersed with silvery-white wormwood.

A gentle breeze caressed the sea of ​​flowers, countless butterflies danced among them, and small animals and birds flitted about, creating an atmosphere of hope.

Here, after the driver parked the car, he told his men to lay an oilcloth on the ground to prevent moisture. They quickly unloaded all the bags and piled them up on the oilcloth to form a small mountain.

Although there were many bags, they weren't very heavy. The men were all experienced laborers who had worked hard for years, and they got off the vehicle as quickly as Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts—it was a piece of cake.

After all the bags were unloaded, Wang Tianxiao counted them; one hundred and ten bags were just right.

He left Wang Tiancheng to watch from the foot of the mountain while he led the loaders to begin moving the loads.

Wang Tianxiao wasn't idle either. Each bag weighed about 20 kilograms, so he picked up two bags and headed uphill.

He had been hiking in the mountains for a long time and had a lot of experience with mountain trails. Moreover, he was physically strong, so two bags of seeds were a little of a burden for him, but not much.

But upon closer inspection, four loading and unloading workers were each carrying four bags, tied tightly with ropes, and stepping forward like carrying door panels.

Seeing that Wang Tianxiao was walking quite fast, one of the workers exclaimed, "Young boss, you're really strong!"

If it weren't for his elder brother's simple and honest smile, Wang Tianxiao would have thought he was mocking him.

He laughed sheepishly, "Brother, don't say that. You can carry twice my weight and still walk so fast. You guys are the ones with real strength."

"Ha, this is what we do for a living. How can we do it without some strength? You haven't done this for a long time. It's already pretty good if you can carry two bags."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that these two bags only weigh seventy or eighty pounds. Climbing a mountain like this—not that I look down on young people, but even empty-handed, many people wouldn't be able to make it to the top."

"That's true."

Wang Tianxiao dared not say much, because it would be too tiring to talk too much, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to move it up.

Yangziling East Peak is not high. It is estimated to be less than 600 meters from the bottom to the top of the mountain. The field station is located at the lower half of the mountain, which is only about 200 meters away.

Even so, Wang Tianxiao couldn't move it anymore after moving it halfway.

However, four older men were following behind him, carrying twice the weight of his own without resting, and had just praised him. If he gave up easily, wouldn't he be looked down upon by them, and wouldn't he also make his peers lose face?

I'll grit my teeth and hold on until the final stop.

Every step was agonizing. When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he threw his things down on the ridge and sat down on a rock, panting heavily.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm too tired."

He kept muttering to himself, as if he had just finished a marathon.

The four older brothers, however, remained energetic and asked Wang Tianxiao where to put the seeds. Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to stand up again and, dragging his weak legs, open the door to another warehouse.

"Just put them in there, thank you guys for your hard work."

"no problem."

The four men stacked the sixteen bags, and one of them also helped Wang Tianxiao move his two bags inside and stacked them as well.

After coming out, they didn't rest but continued to carry things down the mountain.

Sitting on the mountain ridge, Wang Tianxiao watched the four people running quickly down the mountain path and immediately felt that the world was full of unevenness.

He was really weak when it came to physical labor.

The remaining ninety-odd bags could be handled in five or six trips. The four brothers only rested for about ten minutes in between, and the rest of the time they were like perpetual motion machines, showing no signs of fatigue.

In less than two hours, all the seeds had been laid out.

Just as Wang Tianxiao was about to pay them, they asked if they wanted the coal from down the mountain carried up. A bag of coal weighed 89 kilograms, and the wages would be the same.

Wang Tianxiao had originally planned to hire donkeys to carry the coal, since coal would soil clothes and cause back pain, but seeing their eagerness to earn the money, he agreed.

Then, after another hour or so, the coal was carried up and placed into the small room at the very edge.

By this time, it was already quite late. The four older brothers were covered in soot and sweat, their bodies stained black with fine coal.

Wang Tianxiao asked Wang Tiancheng to boil some hot water so that everyone could wash their faces and bodies, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go back.

They didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took off their shirts and started washing themselves on the open ground in front of the door.

Wang Tianxiao had previously thought he was physically strong, but after seeing these people, he realized that they were the truly formidable ones. Look at those muscles, they could trap a mosquito.

No wonder he has such strength and stamina.

After watching for a while, Wang Tianxiao suddenly had an idea.

We're short-handed for work in the mountains right now. These people are all temporary assignments from the supply and marketing center, not permanent jobs. If we could bring them here to work, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?

If you have this idea, then put it into action immediately.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that the four people were not the same.

Two of the men were employees of the supply and marketing center, and the other two were temporary loading and unloading workers.

The two temporary workers were brothers named Wu Qiancai and Wu Wenhua.

When Wang Tianxiao heard the two names, he almost burst out laughing. He thought to himself that the parents of these two people only looked at the given name and not the surname when choosing names. Culture and money are good things, but they can't resist the prefix of the surname Wu.

Wu Qiancai is the older brother. He is about 1.7 meters tall, with a round face. He doesn't like to talk and just smiles when asked a question.

The younger brother, Wu Wenhua, is much more lively. He looks very similar to his older brother, but he is taller, probably around 1.75 meters.

Upon hearing Wang Tianxiao's invitation, the two exchanged glances. The older brother remained silent, while the younger brother smiled and asked, "Boss, we're just doing the physical labor, so we're fine with working anywhere. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay us."

"How much money do you want? If you work here long-term, you can live in the mountains. Of course, you can also bring your wife and children. We have extra houses here. If it's inconvenient to live here, we can build more."

"And what about food?"

"There's a kitchen here that can provide meals, or you can cook for yourselves. That's all fine."

"How about two yuan a day?"

When the younger brother heard that food and lodging were included, he thought for a moment and cautiously asked, while the older brother nervously looked at Wang Tianxiao.

They knew from the things they had just moved that Wang Tianxiao was not a stingy person, but was actually quite wealthy, so they trusted that he wouldn't let his brothers suffer a loss.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tianxiao felt that two yuan wasn't too much.

He has a lot of work to do next. I just observed that the two brothers work very well, and it's definitely worth the two yuan a day.

However, he remained cautious and did not immediately agree.

"Two yuan seems a bit much. These days, even the regular employees with professional titles in the company don't earn more than two yuan a day on average."

Wang Tianxiao said with a smile.
