"Dad, we have recruited a lot of new people in the orchard." Qin Zijin asked casually.
Tang Aiguo acted very calm and natural, explaining, "Yes, now that the fruit trees are growing, there's a lot to do. Plus, I raise so many chickens, ducks, geese, and other things. I can't handle it all by myself, and the few people I hired before are not enough, so I found a skilled person in a nearby village to help."
"This Shufen is from the Stone Village up ahead. She's very quick and efficient. She's been here about three or four months now, and she's doing a great job."
"I think he's not bad. He started working today, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He's quite hardworking." Qin Zijin echoed.
"No, she just took three days off and came here on the third day of the Lunar New Year. There aren't many people at home, and she only has a child who isn't in very good health to take care of. She wanted to work a few more days during the New Year to earn more money for her child's medical treatment." Tang Aiguo shook his head slightly, and he felt quite sympathetic towards Shufen's family situation.
"What disease is it?" Qin Zijin asked casually.
"I didn't ask much about this. You can ask me when you see me later. It seems that I have been taking medicine all the time. I heard that it is a very troublesome disease." Tang Aiguo shook his head.
Qin Zijin could see that Tang Aiguo probably didn't have any feelings for Aunt Shufen. After all, he was devoted to his deceased wife. However, Aunt Shufen had some feelings for Tang Aiguo.
But then again, Tang Aiguo is now a big landlord after all. In ancient times, he would be a wealthy man. It is not surprising that a woman falls in love with him.
This Aunt Shufen needs to be thoroughly investigated. If she is a good person, it won't be a big problem for her and Tang Aiguo to develop freely. But if she approaches Tang Aiguo with a purpose, then we must cut off all ties.
"Okay, I'll ask her when I see her later." Qin Zijin responded casually without taking it too seriously.
Tang Shen and Qin Zixuan walked away alone.
"Want a cigarette?" Tang Can looked at Qin Zixuan's face, probably still in a bad mood because Bai Qingqing left, so he took a cigarette and handed it to him.
Qin Zixuan didn't refuse. He took it and held it between his fingers. He didn't mean to light it. He just lowered his head and looked at the cigarette in his hand. He was silent for a long time before he said in a muffled voice: "Do you think Qingqing will come back?"
"She is not the kind of girl who would retreat when faced with difficulties. Since she promised you that she would come back, she will definitely come back." Tang Shen trusts Bai Qingqing very much.
Qin Zixuan pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed, "Really?"
"Don't think too much. This problem can always be solved. There's no need to be too pessimistic. Besides, don't you still have me and Ajin? We will help you." Tang Shen raised his hand and patted Qin Zixuan's shoulder.
Qin Zixuan nodded, asked Tang Shen to light a cigarette for him, and took a puff.
Because it was my first time smoking, I was choked so hard that tears almost came out.
After a violent coughing fit, Qin Zixuan looked down at the cigarette between his fingers and curled his lips in a bitter tone: "I thought this thing was so delicious. I saw many people taking a few puffs when they had nothing to do. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to smoke."
"It's a pretty good placebo when you're upset." Tang Shen smiled.
The two walked slowly among the fruit trees. Most of the fruits planted here were longans and lychees. At this moment, the fruit trees were still lush and green, and many spring shoots had sprouted. It was estimated that the harvest this year would be good.
"I'm going back to the factory tomorrow. The laboratory should be very busy this year. I'm thinking of taking a few students. Please keep an eye on it for me later. We don't have enough staff now, and everyone wants to take two or three students." Qin Zixuan didn't want to mention Bai Qingqing anymore. He felt a tightness in his chest whenever he thought about it.
He originally thought that he would not fall in love with someone easily, and when Bai Qingqing approached him, he was resistant at first.
But I didn't expect that love is sometimes completely uncontrollable. When it is about to sink, you can't control it at all. He fell completely without noticing it.
Now he just wants to spend more time on research. Being busy may help him calm down a little and not think too much.
"Okay, Ajin has already told me this. I plan to go to the university after the New Year to see if I can find some good seedlings." Tang Shen nodded and agreed.
Qin Zixuan didn't say anything more.
This time I came to the orchard, I planned to stay for a few days.
Qin Zixuan had other things to do at the factory, so he went back to the factory that night.
Qin Zijin stayed there with Tang Can, Zheng Huilin and others.
The air in the countryside is very good. There is a lot of rain in spring. It rained at night. When I woke up in the morning, all the plants seemed to have been washed clean, and the leaves were shiny green.
However, it was wet everywhere, so Qin Zijin didn't want to go out. She simply moved a table and chairs in and sat at the door to look at the scenery outside.
The spring rain is continuous, which is the season and weather that Qin Zijin doesn't like.
Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng were quite happy.
Children have no resistance to this kind of life in the countryside and everything seems new to them.
Tang Simeng even ran after the rooster for a long time and was almost pecked to tears by the rooster.
"Mom, let's eat a big rooster tonight. I want to eat the rooster's comb." Tang Simeng, who had a strong desire for revenge, came back and hugged Qin Zijin's arm and started to act coquettishly, wanting to kill and eat the big rooster that had been chasing her all the way.
Sensing a sense of crisis, the big rooster immediately looked in Tang Simeng's direction and crowed twice.
Tang Simeng subconsciously hid behind Qin Zijin, then timidly poked her head out and glanced at the rooster. Then she said aggrievedly, "Mom, that rooster bites people. It's not obedient at all. Let's eat it, okay?"
Qin Zijin couldn't help laughing and patted Tang Simeng's head, "You're not being obedient either, you're chasing it too. Does it want to kill and eat you just like you?"
"Mom!" Tang Simeng shouted somewhat unhappily, pouting and looking unhappy.
"Don't mess with these chickens and geese in the future. It's a good thing you didn't mess with the big white geese raised by your grandfather. The big white geese are much more powerful than the big roosters when chasing people, and their bites hurt more." Qin Zijin patted Tang Simeng's head and warned him unhappily.
"I just wanted to borrow a few feathers from it to make a shuttlecock. Not only did it refuse, but it also chased me and wanted to bite me." Tang Simeng snorted and spoke sullenly.
"Honey, can we eat a big rooster tonight?" Qin Zijin turned around and shouted to Tang Shen behind her.
When the big rooster heard this, it flapped its wings and ran away screaming.
