Capítulo 2078: Chapter 1795: Temporary Workers Enter the Village
Four o’clock in the morning.
In the distance, the mountains caught a glimpse of misty dawn light, and the Venus in the sky was still shining brightly, but the sumr morning wind was not refreshing.
At least, He Shuli felt that way while sitting on the motorcycle.
“It’s too hot this year…”
She mumbled.
Her eldest son, who was over 40, echoed her sentints: “Yes! This weather is really abnormal, it’s reaching 40° this year…”
While they were chatting, the motorcycle quickly stopped at the roadside.
The mother and son got off – She had given birth early; back then, the village didn’t really care about age, and her eldest son is 42 years old while she’s just 59.
In the countryside, it’s still an age that can work hard.
She’s a bit worried: “Leaving the motorcycle here, it won’t get taken, will it?”
“No way,” her son said with certainty: “Who’d want this broken motorcycle?”
It was indeed very broken, frequently malfunctioning, and the shop owner in town had advised him several tis to take a new motorcycle and pay later.
But it would cost 300 yuan more than buying it directly!
He couldn’t bring himself to spend the money, so he made do with the old one.
But it’s a sha: “Why does Yunqiao Village only hire workers for just one or two days?”
“That’s quite a bit,” He Shuli was satisfied: “Earn a few hundred a day if we work well, don’t slack off, and maybe they’ll call us again for more work next ti.”
She had signed up to sort and clean fish by the pond, not indoors due to the hot weather, earning 250 a day.
It might not sound nice, but it’s practical!
Her son brought a tea pruning machine and oil, earning 450 a day!
In any case, the two looked out at the quiet road and couldn’t resist checking their phones to see the group ssages:
“Looks like soone got on the bus… Ah! Soone got on at the small stone bridge intersection ahead, the bus will be here soon!”
The mother and son perked up, adjusting their hats, gloves, and sun sleeves, while the son checked his machine again, waiting eagerly.
Soon, a faintly illuminated road was traversed by a bus with a gentle rumble.
The bus reliably stopped at the roadside.
Once they boarded, the driver checked the route table pinned at the front; the stop had a large “2” marked on it.
Alright! Enough people, and the timing is precise, so let’s go!
…
It was just past 4 a.m., but many people were already on the bus. He Shuli, feeling a bit carsick, opted not to sit in the back, choosing a seat towards the front instead.
The lady next to her was very welcoming: “Sit here! What are you going to do?”
“Sorting fish.”
“Oh wow, that’s really hot! I’m going to pick leaves!”
The woman was energetic and eager to share.
“In this hot weather, I actually didn’t want to do work at ho, but once I heard there were job offers, I jumped on it! Then I thought, but nobody’s paying
at ho anyway! Money motivates !”
“I wanted to do the work outdoors too. They said I’m too old, told
to choose this instead. Considering the sun is pretty intense, it starts baking us at seven or eight o’clock. Picking leaves is fine, at least there’s air conditioning, comfortable.”
“We’re doing this job for two days, how many days can you work?”
He Shuli smiled: “Three days, I think?”
Oh wow!
Even just this day’s difference made the woman envious, and then another person in the back joined the excitent:
“I’m going to bundle up corn, 250 a day as well!”
“My daughter didn’t want
to go, but in this hot weather, I barely want to cook at ho. Heard the food over there is good, better to go!”
Everyone was chatting animatedly, n and won alike, creating a lively atmosphere. The driver, listening nearby, couldn’t help but be amazed by the high wages in the countryside.
A relative of his also lived in Qingxi Town, and he had arranged this job.
He’d heard that digging in the mountains only paid 300 a day…
Wow! No wonder they needed to rent buses for transportation; there really are a lot of people.
…
A large group of people were coming, yet there was quite a bit going on at Lao Song’s family as well.

Not many villagers signed up today.
This period was busy for everyone growing and selling vegetables. Even if they were tempted by the high salaries, after weighing their options, they chose to tend to their own business.
After all, it’s the weekend, the ti when there are the most tourists!
Actually, the money earned from selling vegetables might not necessarily be higher than the temporary job wages, but during sumr, vegetables grow fast; if they miss a day of harvesting, the next day they might be too late.
If they miss the weekend, by next week, the stems will have started sprouting.
In general, there were gains and losses!
And because of everyone’s concerns, Song Tan didn’t hesitate to invite her aunt’s future daughter-in-law’s family over.
If everyone in the village is in the fields, what will the visitors shop for?
The mountain security team also had tasks today.
It could be said they were pretty challenging.
Along with more than ten dogs, none of them idled; the dogs were out patrolling, while the people monitored not just those who might feel unwell, but also those slacking off, those working diligently and carefully, and anyone who might have sticky fingers…
The temporary one-day workers they hired needed insurance to be effective after 24 hours, so instead of opting for ergency coverage, they would just oversee them more carefully.
Song Tan hadn’t paid much attention to these details before, but hearing Gao Xinzhi’s frenzy was a tad unsettling:
Now that the hiring process was so precise, they beca a legitimate enterprise, unlike before.
Next ti, they’ll have experience, so timing won’t be as exact.
But—
“Is the cooling tea ready? Is the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water prepared? Did you put the waterlon in the cold storage?”
All in all, she provided what she could, with dedication!
Yun Duo hurriedly said: “All prepared, don’t worry. The cooling tea started brewing last night.”
With so many people, Doctor Xiaoguo couldn’t handle it all; she had her own patients to attend to!
Therefore, she simply sent over a few large bags of dicine last night, which were placed in the canteen pot.
In this hot weather, who in the village doesn’t have a big water cup? Everyone can just take a jug.
As for Master Jiang, he led the crowd in making buns until past eight yesterday, with fillings of pork and green onions, celery and green onions, pork and sweet potato, and then sauce at, red beans and sesa, plus those previously made in the fridge, all stead together.
On such hot days, the buns were ready at 4 a.m., now ward over a gentle fla in the pot.
Originally, in sumr work, people don’t eat early in the morning, as it would slow them down.
Working until 9 a.m. and then eating is appropriate.
But considering the hot weather, and that they invited folks from other villages, skipping food might be too much, so it’s better to have a few bites.
They boiled several big buckets of green bean soup, now served bowl by bowl to cool.
Helper chefs hadn’t arrived yet, so a few temporary security team mbers were drafted to help out.
After finishing up, Master Jiang wiped off so sweat—
An accomplished chef like him didn’t exert much effort even in morning bun making, so he wasn’t tired.
It’s just that the weather made a quick walk outdoors cover you in sweat.
He reminded: “Chen Yuan, select temporary workers for , make sure they have clean hands, are well-grood, and ticulous!”
His kitchen has a cleanliness standard that doesn’t allow ssiness.
It was Yun Duo’s first proper encounter with such a scene, calmly recapping the arrangents, when suddenly she had an idea:
“Boss, if those picking leaves are working in our factory air-conditioned room, should they be grouped with the other workers?”
Outdoors, workers should finish by 9:30, but indoors that seed a bit inappropriate?
“Oh, no problem. Transporting by bus is easier to arrange. Besides, overti pay is available, no need to give them more ti.”
Song Tan explained: “I forgot to ntion, once they leave, my grandpa will bring village elders over.”
The elderly, slightly disabled, and five-guarantee households.
They might be slow otherwise, but sitting to pick leaves is manageable.
The air-conditioned room doesn’t cause heat problems, and all are familiar faces in the village, used repeatedly before, so insurance is in place.
All in all, watch them slightly more closely and it’s fine.
The wage is 150 a day, working from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Yun Duo finally breathed a sigh of relief, checking the ti, and the group ssages:
“The bus has entered the village!”
