The three young men were the most excited. "Zhenye, we don't think we can carry them all back. There are too many fish, we can't fit them all. Let's go down and find someone."
"Okay, thank you both for your hard work. Be careful."
"Hehe, we're fine."
Zhu Zi's two younger brothers immediately turned around and ran back, literally running.
The bodyguards were responsible for carrying baskets ashore.
Annie followed Zhang Weiyu and Daniel, asking, "How big can this fish be? It looks bigger than Daniel was when he was born!"
"Haha, sis, your comparison is quite interesting."
"Hehe, that's just what I said."
"Sis, we don't know either, but I also think the fish is really big."
The net wasn't even halfway up when they brought it, and their baskets were already overflowing. There were still so many fish.
A is currently responsible for both guarding and watching the children play.
"Boss, there are too many fish. I think we should dump all the fish from the shore and empty the baskets."
"Okay, now our task is to get all the fish ashore. I estimate a lot of people will be coming soon."
The bodyguards, having received their orders, carried the goods ashore in trip after trip.
Zhu Zi's two cousins ran down the mountain, already covered in sweat, and found Da Shan's father.
"Uncle, quickly organize people to go up the mountain, there are too many fish."
"You two should go back right away. You're covered in sweat. Go back and change your clothes. Stay home and don't come out."
Da Shan's father quickly reminded him that if he got sick, it would be no laughing matter.
They hurriedly searched for more than twenty people. They all carried baskets and bags and went up the mountain.
Zhu Zi's younger brother, Xiang Zi, was already married. He greatly envied his older brother, but he lacked the brains. Even though his family supported his schooling, he only graduated from junior high school and failed to pass the high school entrance exam.
He knew today was an opportunity. He went home, changed his clothes, ignored his wife's calls, and went straight to the old lady's house.
"Xiangzi is here?"
"Yes, Auntie, I came to tell my sister Hongmei that the children are all fine, but there are too many fish. We came down to get help, and my uncle has already brought people up the mountain."
"Xiangzi, come inside. Your sister Hongmei is in your great-grandmother's room."
Zhang Hongmei had already heard everything inside the house, so she helped the old lady sit up.
"Grandma, Sister Hongmei, I just changed my clothes too. This time it was a huge harvest. We can't even remember them all, and they were all big fish."
"Hehe, that's great! Now our whole village can share the fish. Xiangzi, you should go and rest too."
"Okay, I'm going back."
After Xiangzi left, Zhang Hongmei and the old lady both smiled.
"They're not stupid; at least they know to take care of themselves first," the old lady sighed.
"Yes, Grandma, does Xiangzi farm in the village?"
"Yes, I graduated from junior high school and haven't been able to find a job in the city."
"Grandma, there are quite a few young men in our village, aren't there?"
There are more than ten.
“I’ve set up a logistics company here, so that our local agricultural products can be shipped out, and good products from outside can be brought in. Should I arrange jobs for them?”
"Sure, but expecting them to stay in the village for life is not an option. That would be a waste of their time. Besides, everything is mechanized now, and there are more idle people. Over time, the village's atmosphere will go astray."
It's good to let them go to work. It would be even better if we could arrange jobs for their wives too.
"Yes, but you'll have to stay away from home for a long time and won't have many opportunities to go home."
"Let them go if they want. The village is quite capable even without them."
“Okay, I’ll have Lu Jing go and take a look. I haven’t met the person in charge here yet. Let him come and be in charge of recruitment. Our village will be the main focus.”
“Okay, this will make the village much more united. You can take care of it.”
"Grandma, this is also my home. I originally wanted to start a business in our village, but years later, I would be complained about because all factories cause pollution."
Besides, we're nestled against a mountain, and I really don't want to damage this place.
"Well, we can't touch this place. You don't know, but actually everyone in this village is from your Cui family. They're here to guard it."
But we don't know exactly what they're guarding now. However, this place is truly off-limits.
Zhang Hongmei knew what they were guarding, but she couldn't say. However, Liujiatun had to be protected. Could there really be some secret here that she hadn't discovered yet?
"I understand. I will make it up to everyone in other ways."
The sound of Wang Hongxi's voice came from the courtyard.
"Grandma, is Wang Xiaorui still at home?"
"Yes, Wang Hongxi would rather not be the village chief than not keep her daughter, and she promised me that she would discipline her strictly."
I'm not heartless; I can't really ruin a child.
"Well, if she's willing, let her go out to work, but if she's still the same as before, there's nothing I can do."
"Well, you decide for yourself. If it doesn't work out, then let her stay in the village for the rest of her life."
Just as the mother and daughter finished speaking, Wang Hongxi's family came in.
"Second wife, Hongmei."
"Auntie, sit on the kang (heated brick bed), it's too cold outside."
"That's right, it just snowed this year, otherwise it would have been even colder."
Hongmei, you've come back this time?
"It's nothing, the kids just love this mountain and insisted on coming here to play."
"Hehe, our Daqingshan is really great."
The old lady sat with her legs crossed to one side and didn't join their conversation.
Zhang Hongmei really didn't like this dragging on. "Auntie, did you come here to see me because you need something?"
"Hongmei." Wang Hongxi's eyes reddened, but she didn't dare shed tears in someone else's house.
“Hongmei, your aunt really has no other choice. Wang Xiaorui has been staying at home ever since her divorce. We can support her now, but what will she do when your uncle and I are no longer able to move?”
Hongmei, you're so capable, can you find her a job? With a job, it'll be easier for her to find a husband. She can't be alone forever, can she?
Parents always feel sorry for their children, and Zhang Hongmei felt quite sorry for Wang Hongxi and his wife.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but Wang Xiaorui is uneducated. Things are different now than they were a few years ago. There are more and more educated people now. If you were looking for a worker, you would look for someone educated, right?”
"Hongmei, please take care of me. I'm truly at my wit's end. What will we do now?"
"Can't we just farm? Can't we support ourselves?"
"She has never done any geography work since she was a child."
"Auntie, I really have no choice. If I find a job, it'll probably be something like sweeping the streets, which doesn't require a degree. But that's not as good as farming in the village."
"Couldn't you find her an easy job?"
"So, ma'am, what are your thoughts? What kind of job is Wang Xiaorui capable of doing?"
