Zhao Jianguo took five or six people to see ginseng at the Liumao River Ginseng Field.
When he heard the noise, Zhao Jianguo thought it was a worker coming to work, so he went out to check, and saw Xu Chenghou and others.
"Uncle Xu, why did you come to the mountain? Why did you bring the children here?"
Zhao Jianguo looked puzzled. What were these children doing up the mountain?
Su Anying came over from behind.
"Brother Jianguo, what's going on? Isn't it time to weed our ginseng field? You guys are too busy. It happens that the children are on holiday so let them come up and help with the work."
Zhao Jianguo thought to himself, "Where is all this?" All the work on the mountain was outsourced to them, and they didn't say they couldn't do it.
Why are the children here again?
But since his boss said so, Zhao Jianguo couldn't object and could only go on.
"Oh, yes, I'm quite busy these days. There's a lot of grass growing in the three-flowered string at the end."
Three flowers are seeds that were sown last year, and the seedlings that emerged this year have only one small leaf, and the leaves are divided into three petals, so they are called three flowers.
"Okay, then I will lead them over, and you can go and do whatever you need to do, and don't worry about this."
Su Anying nodded and led the children into the venue.
After 50,000 feet of ginseng, the boss was all alone. The children walked for a long time and finally reached the place.
“This piece of land belongs to us all.
You two should face each other in pairs, kneel on the pool surface, and pull away the grass on the pool surface.
But be sure not to harvest the stick seedlings. Come on, come over and I will teach you."
Su Anying led the children to Chichuantou and taught them what kind of grass and what kind of ginseng seedlings.
They were all children from Shenxiang, so they knew each other somewhat. As soon as Su Anying mentioned it, everyone understood.
So they worked in pairs, held a pool string on their heads and started to weed.
This patch of ginseng seeds was planted by Su Anying in cooperation with Huang Shengli and others. They were sown on demand last year.
Not to mention, the seedling emergence rate is very high, and the spacing between rows is the same, which is very neat.
It's not difficult to pull out weeds like this, just avoid the ginseng seedlings and pull up the weeds.
Moreover, Sanhua is so small that you can see anything on the surface of the pool at a glance and cannot hide anything.
The newly planted end is not good. The stick seedlings grow tall and dense, and sometimes there are snakes hidden inside.
Snakes in the Northeast are less venomous, but children can be frightened if they encounter one.
For safety reasons, they were placed at Sanhua's end.
Of course, there is nothing easy about ginseng work. There is a ginseng shed above and ginseng soil below. People have to kneel on the pool and work under the ginseng shed.
In the hot summer, the temperature in the ginseng shed was so high that it was extremely hot. I knelt there and grassed for a while, which made me feel hot and sweaty.
"Okay, you go over there and work in the fields. I'm watching over here."
Su Anying guided the children for a while and taught them all. Xu Chenghou waved his hand and let Su Anying go.
Su Anying was also dumbfounded. Did the old man drive her away on purpose?
After driving her away, the children can work as they please. If they don't like working, they can also work as a foreigner for a while.
Forget it, I didn't point them to the food in the first place, but it was just a few days of Hu Nong to let them know that work is not easy, so they should be less naughty in the future, and just do as much as they can.
In this way, Su Anying told her daughter and son to pay attention to safety and not to run around.
There are guns, cannons, and various traps around this place. If something goes wrong, someone could be hurt.
"Okay, okay, Lao Chu and I are here, what are you afraid of?
Let's go quickly, isn't it a long way from the machine repair shop?"
Xu Chenghou waved his hand impatiently and chased Su Anying away.
What could Su Anying say? She could only leave with a wry smile.
There's nothing big going on here, she has to look at the new ginseng field, and on the other side she has to take advantage of the good weather to plow up the ground.
In a few days, we will find someone to come up and dump the soil. We need to finish the ginseng soil before autumn so that we can make the final payment.
As soon as Su Anying walked away, Xu Chenghou shouted, "Children, don't work too hard, do it slowly.
If anyone is tired, just sit down and rest for a while."
The old man could just shout, "Stop doing this, go play with me."
Those who can still go up to the mountains to work today are not ordinary children. At least they are old and sensible.
Although Xu Chenghou said this, the children did not indulge themselves. They still knelt on the pool and picked grass with peace of mind.
Compared with yesterday and the mud lake wall, it was so easy to pluck weeds, and you could do it just by playing.
Now that we are on the mountain, we have to persevere no matter what.
Xu Chenghou and Mr. Chu looked at each other and smiled, "Let's go and find a shady place to sit for a while.
They are still fresh, and when the freshness wears off, it will be time to call it quits."
Xu Chenghou had long seen through these naughty kids, so he and Mr. Chu found a shady place to sit down and rest on top of Chi Chuan.
As soon as the scoundrel entered the scene, he disappeared without a trace.
Xu Chenghou wasn't worried. The fox just barely spoke. He was smarter than anyone else, so he must be fine.
Xu Chenghou went up the mountain with Chu Xuanhuai and led a group of children. Can Zhao Jianguo feel relieved?
Why don't you take some people with you and work around here today?
Zhao Jianguo also specially boiled two pots of water and put them on the ground so that the children would come over to drink when they were thirsty.
"Uncle Xu, Uncle Chu, the two elders are just resting here. If you need anything, just shout and I will come over."
"Okay, you go and do your work, it's okay." Xu Chenghou waved his hand and told Zhao Jianguo to do whatever he had to do.
The children got under the ginseng shed to gather grass, while the two old men, Xu Chenghou and Chu Xuanhuai, took a rest under the tree.
They went to the mountain early and started working at half past seven. By about nine o'clock, the children were a little tired. One said they were thirsty and the other said they were hungry.
"Come, come, come here, it's cool here, come here and rest for a while before you work."
When Xu Chenghou saw his granddaughter sitting on the pool, leaning against the pillars and resting there, he knew that the child was tired, so he quickly called on the children to come over and rest.
Even though it was only nine o'clock, the sun was shining on the plastic sheet and it was quite hot inside the shed.
The children were all sweating. When Xu Chenghou called them, they all came out to drink water and rest.
The water in the kettle is no longer so hot, it is warm, and there are several white porcelain bowls with blue edges next to it.
Xu Chenghou carried a pot, poured water for the children, and came to drink water one by one.
"Are you tired? Just rest when you're tired. Don't be in a hurry. Work slowly."
The old man looked at the children with love and affection, and advised them warmly.
Zhao Jianguo, who was working not far away, couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this.
Is this old man’s heart set on his ribs?
Back in the big house, I don’t know how many times I was scolded by the old man because Xu Shiyan was slow at work.
Now that it's your grandson, you won't be in a hurry?
Zhao Jianguo could only say this in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
On the ground, the children had all drank water now, their faces were flushed, and they were looking for a place to sit and rest.
Suddenly, a shadow swooped over, jumped directly in front of Xu Haiyuan, bit Xu Haiyuan's trouser leg and pulled it.
"You scoundrel, what are you doing? Don't tear my pants to pieces."
