a bit, and she hurried over to ask about it.Xing Wan'er accompanied her aunt all the way to the main room to see her mother who was recuperating in bed.Mrs. Xing was sickly and her complexion was poo...Needless to say, after becoming closer with each other since attending the same academy, it became easier for children from the village to get into the academy.

Besides, Li Laotai still wants to find people in the village to help this time.

At first when they settled on Suijin Beach, they had to clear land, plant fruit trees, build a new village, and take care of the hot springs valley.

Everyone in the village wished they had eight hands, there simply weren't enough people to go around!

Nowadays, things are stable everywhere. Besides spring planting and autumn harvest, the villagers lead a peaceful life on weekdays.

The village head was always racking his brains to find jobs for the villagers, for fear that if they were idle, they would be tempted by someone like Zhang Jin to do bad things.

For this, the village head was so anxious that his white beard was about to be pulled out.

Luckily, when he was sleepy, someone brought a pillow. The Li family had something to do that needed manpower, which solved his big problem!

The village head straight to the point and asked, "Madam, how many people does Luo An need Young or old"

Li Laotai thought for a moment and said, “The third son bought thirty mu of land to grow vegetables, to supply the academy students with three meals a day. With so much farmland, it takes manpower to take care of it, harvest the vegetables, and guard against harm from others. It would take at least three or four people.”

"Over at the cafeteria, there used to be five or six staff members, but I estimate that none of them are currently working. Otherwise, students wouldn't have been eating out for the past two years. "

"Lao San and his wife were soft-hearted and lacked face. They only brought along Wu San's wife and uncle, afraid they couldn't overpower them. They would have to add three or four more people, slowly get familiar with the work, and then get rid of those lazy ones."

Upon hearing this, the village head pondered for a moment and said: “Considering all factors, we need a family with both young and old to take turns guarding and working in the vegetable patch at night.”

"Over at the canteen, get a few young people who are articulate, quick-witted, and capable. It would be ideal if they could also cook and be on hand to help out. Why not ask Sun's sister-in-law and her husband, or Dazhuang and his wife"

Lao Li laughed when she heard this. Both her daughter-in-law Da Zhuang and Sun Er's sister-in-law were known for being sharp-tongued and outspoken in the village, and Sun Erge and Da Zhuang were both young and strong.

If there's a conflict with anyone in the academy, these two couples don't even need to step in. They could single-handedly defeat everyone and overcome any obstacle.

"Many thanks, elder brother, for your trouble. This arrangement is simply the best." Li Laotai quickly agreed.

Li Zhensheng also said: "Fellow villagers came to help our family, we can't treat them poorly."

"Thus, following Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's example, they too would be like the villagers, receiving work credits daily and wages monthly based on those credits. At year-end, a final settlement would take place. If they performed well, they would also receive red envelopes during the holidays. In addition, each season they would each have a new set of clothing."

The village head nodded happily, "Good, that's good enough. It's quite generous already. Staying cooped up in the village, life is comfortable, but there's no ambition. Going out with your family to see the world is an opportunity that you can't buy for any amount of silver."

“No, it’s our family who should thank the villagers for their support.” Old Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand and said sincerely: “This canteen is a big deal concerning the meals of students and teachers. If there’s even a slight deficiency, we wouldn’t be able to live with ourselves.”

"No matter how good outsiders are, they can't compare to our fellow villagers who have struggled and persevered with us until now. They are more reliable and trustworthy."

"Yes, that's exactly right." Zhao Shu nodded in agreement and suggested, "Over at the vegetable patch, if we don't have enough people, our six old fellows can go lend a hand anytime."

That's it, that settles it.

The village head went back home at night, running his fingers through his hair, calculating all the able-bodied people in the village.

Finally, a family of four was assigned to take care of the vegetable patch. The head of the household was Wu Laojiu, and his wife, Wu Sanniang, were from the same surname but had no real blood relation.

But during the severe drought, because the Li family had a well, they sought refuge in the village to survive.

Later, we fled together and struggled together, reaching this day.

This family was related to Wu San-shu by blood and treated each other like close brothers. They often visited each other.

Old Wu and his wife were both honest and hardworking people. They never slacked off when it came to work, and they also had a fifty-year-old father and a ten-year-old daughter at home.

Thus, they went to Luo'an. The couple worked hard together, Mr. Wu took the night shift, and the little girl could help out anytime.

Then, the next morning, the village head gathered Wu's family of four, Sun's family, and Dazhuang's family together and told them about the job in Lu'an.

Everyone was delighted and immediately agreed.

Let's not talk much, just look at Wu Sanniang and Wu Sanye. They've only been with Li Laosan and his wife for a short time, but they eat well, dress well, and their behavior and speech have improved greatly. They are definitely more successful than staying in the village.

I heard that last year, besides the dividends from the village, the food store also gave out ten taels of silver as a bonus.

As long as they work hard, stay loyal, and don't slack off, their future will definitely be bright!

The three families were very happy and hurried home to clean up.

In the village, each household lived next to their neighbors, sharing common walls. There was no such thing as privacy.

Soon, almost everyone knew about it.

Some envied, some were curious, and even more went to ask the village head, wanting to go to Lo'an too.

The village head, waving his smoking pipe, drove the people away. "What's the rush! Life is getting better and better, and there will be more places where you need to contribute in the future. Don't worry about not having a place. Just do your work properly! Whoever works best will be given priority next time."

The villagers were spat on, and upon closer reflection, it was indeed the case.

As long as you cling to the Li family's big leg, there are still many opportunities.

Li Lao San's snack shop could become the canteen of the academy.

Then, Master Li's wine shop could open more and more!

Quanzhou's small fleet can also become a large fleet!

By then, we'll definitely need to find more people in the village. Maybe the work will be better than working at the canteen back then!

Then, the village finally fell silent after a day of commotion.

Seeing this, Old Li also hurried to pack her belongings and rush to Lu'an.

The family carriage wasn't enough, so they hired two more in the city.

When the sun was high in the sky, everyone set off.

Jia Yin was overjoyed, because she wouldn't have to learn etiquette and needlework for at least six or seven days!

Having been beaten up by mischievous boys, she had a brainwave and worked hard for several days, exposing her true colors. Both Grandma He and Hui'er found out about her "precociousness".

From now on, it will be harder to pretend to be stupid or slack off. Oh well...

Fortunately, she still had her grandmother as a good partner and took her "skipping class" directly!

Jia Yin was leaning out of the open car window, enjoying the gentle spring breeze on her face. It felt so good.

In the distant fields, farmers are working hard.

Plant good seeds in the spring, irrigate them with sweat, and only in autumn can you embrace the harvest with peace of mind.

From time to time, carriages would pass by on the road, perhaps their occupants were also enjoying the spring scenery. Even the horses' hooves carried a hint of laziness.

In the town of Luo'an, Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were indeed busy beyond measure, hardly having time to catch their breath.

Seeing their mother arrive early with people, the couple was so moved they almost cried.

I am the Guanyin who saves suffering and alleviates hardship; I do not accept refutation! and he was even happier."Good, this gift is truly excellent, Funiu'er put her heart into it, I am very pleased."Jia Yin smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's great that Huang Bo likes it. I watered and...
