Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 390 Gu Yizhou's comrades

When Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxuan arrived at Zhaojia Village,

Gu Yizhou and his comrades had been busy working on the land, some building houses and some installing greenhouses.

Lin Qingyan didn't expect their efficiency to be so high. She walked over with a smile on her face.

When Gu Yizhou saw her, he put down his work and came towards her.

At this time, Zhong Yun was quietly introducing the two new partners.

“This is the person who will pay our wages in the future.”

"She is the company commander's girlfriend?"

One of them couldn't help but ask. On the way Gu Yizhou picked them up, he had told them to come and help him, but he was busy most of the time and many things were handled by his partner.

"Yes, she is the company commander's girlfriend, and she is also a university student at Kyoto University. She is a very capable person."

Zhong Yun couldn't help but praise his boss. In the past few months since coming to Beijing, their food and accommodation have been provided, and their basic salary is 30 yuan per month.

But they do get commissions from the photo studio, and with the commissions each of them can get more than 60 yuan per month, which is why they are grateful to Lin Qingyan.

Even if they work in a normal factory, they can't earn this much money every month.

"Why don't you let them rest for two days instead of putting them to work?"

Lin Qingyan looked at Gu Yizhou with some disapproval.

Before Gu Yizhou could say anything, Zhong Yun and the two new comrades following behind him heard him and hurriedly explained for Gu Yizhou:

"We have to do this. We are used to working. It is very uncomfortable to sit in the car for a few days. It is just right to do some work to stretch our hands and feet."

Gu Yizhou introduced the two people to Lin Qingyan, as well as the family members they brought with them.

Lin Qingyan smiled and greeted them: "Thank you, thank you for coming!"

The two waved their hands and said:

"We have nothing to do at home, we just farm. It doesn't matter where we farm."

Lin Qingyan pointed to the field in front of them and the house under construction and said to them:

"You guys are really helping us a lot by coming here. We will plant plastic greenhouses on the few acres of land here, so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat in winter, and we can sell the leftovers."

Lin Qingyan pointed to the empty space near the mountain.

"We also need to plant some fruit trees there. Whether it's the vegetables in the greenhouse or the fruit trees, they all need to be looked after. Yizhou and I are both very busy and can't always be here to look after them.

That's why I bothered you to come and help. Do you see the house being built over there? This is for you to live in."

The two and their families were quite excited when they saw the newly built house.

Gu Yizhou's two comrades responded unconditionally, regardless of what jobs were assigned to them. However, their families were still somewhat disappointed when they saw Zhaojia Village.

They left their families and came to Beijing. They thought they had arrived in a big city, but unexpectedly they were still farming in the countryside. Disappointment was inevitable.

Lin Qingyan also noticed that they were a little tired, so she told them what they were going to do in the future in advance, giving them a chance to regret.

Men are careless and often fail to understand women's emotions.

"Brother, sister, you may need to stay here for a while and help grow vegetables, fruits and melons in the plastic greenhouse.

After the house is built, your two families will live here. You may need to transport vegetables to the city in the future.

In a few days, I will bring a batch of chickens, ducks, and pigs over, and I need your help in raising them. These things will be used for other livelihoods in the future.

At that time, we may need female comrades to go to the city to help with greenhouse planting and raising chickens and ducks, etc. We will pay you 30 yuan a month.

When other businesses are established, we will give you commissions based on sales. The same goes for the vegetables and fruits we grow. We will give you commissions based on how much is sold.

As for these little kids, they won’t be paid.”

Lin Qingyan did not give Zhong Yun and the others the amount of money they had promised. After all, there were not only Gu Yizhou's comrades-in-arms but also their families.

Everyone has different ideas and needs. She doesn't want to test the nature of people she doesn't understand or know.

Lin Qingyan's words warmed the hearts of those who were slightly disappointed just now, and made those who were uneasy just now laugh and relax.

"Comrade Lin, thank you for arranging work for us. We are very grateful and you also paid me and my wife.

This is something we didn't expect. Don't worry, we will definitely take a good look at this place." One of them expressed his opinion to Lin Qingyan.

Another person also smiled and said to Lin Qingyan: "We are very touched that you didn't dislike us bringing our children here."

"The nature of the work here requires the whole family to be together. If you don't bring your children, you won't be able to work safely."

Gu Yizhou stopped their polite exchanges and said, "Let's go and look at the house."

As they were about to move forward, a little boy of about four or five years old among the family members shouted:

"Mom and Dad, I can help with the work, too. I can help feed the chickens and ducks. When I grow up, I can help feed the pigs."

Another child said, "I can, too. I can feed the chickens and ducks, too."

The children's words made Lin Qingyan and others laugh. Lin Qingyan took out a big bag of candy from her pocket and shared it with the two children.

After the child got the candy, he stayed with Lin Qingyan all the time, which made the family members of the two comrades-in-arms slowly chat with Lin Qingyan.

As they chatted, they found that Lin Qingyan knew a lot, knew how to farm, and was not condescending. This finally calmed their uneasy hearts along the way.

Lin Qingyan looked at the house whose main frame had been almost built and the beams had been made, just waiting to be put up. After the beams were in place and the roof was covered, people could live in it.

These houses were built so quickly because Zhong Yun found many villagers in Zhaojia Village to help according to Lin Qingyan's request.

Before the house was built, several people temporarily lived in Zhaojia Village. Before they came, Zhong Yun rented another house in Zhaojia Village so that the two families could squeeze in.

The head of Zhaojia Village was also surprised to see so many people coming. He stepped forward and asked Lin Qingyan:

"Girl, what are you going to do?"

"Village Chief Zhao, they are the ones who will live here for a long time. They will be responsible for everything here from now on."

Upon learning that these two people would live in Zhaojia Village for a long time, Village Chief Zhao also expressed his welcome to them.

After Lin Qingyan settled them down, she went home with Lin Qingxuan.
