Chapter 36, Even Jiang Zhaodi didn’t tell
Ji Caiyan closed her eyes and used the power of space to sense it carefully.
Sure enough, there were far fewer spies around.
"Dad, can you plant trees in one place instead of 'planting trees'?"
Ji Caiyan was very scared. One day when everyone was going to actually plant trees, they would dig up a skeleton.
"Okay, you can help me dig next time. How can I dig alone and leave them with a carrot and a hole?"
Ji Shuchen raised his hand and gave Ji Caiyan a big hand.
His daughter is really not smart.
Fortunately, he is here as his biological father. In the future, when others say that his daughter is not smart, he can still use the excuse that he made her stupid.
"Forget it, let them squeeze together!"
Ji Caiyan shook his head decisively.
Why is it too tiring to dig holes? Let his father do it. His father has experience.
I have experience digging several fish ponds.
Ji Caiyan carried Fat Hu out of the door without any sense of urgency after being assassinated.
Even Ji Shuchen and Bai Zhixuan didn't tell Ji Caiyan to be careful.
Soon we arrived at the back mountain.
There are many people working in the back mountain.
The workers were not from Huaichai Village, but were found by Wang Cuihua from the county town. They were clearing stones and weeds.
They didn't know Ji Caiyan, so they just worked hard.
Food and accommodation are not included, but copper coins are paid.
They can bring dry food from home, and the copper they save can be used to cut meat for their children.
"Cai Yan!"
Uncle Jiang, who had almost lost all his teeth, greeted Ji Caiyan with a smile.
He would get two cents for sleeping in a shed at night and looking at a pile of dried wild flowers.
This was a huge sum of money for him.
You can ask him to buy some soft food, as his body cannot stand eating bran all the time.
"Uncle Jiang, did you dry all these flowers?"
Ji Caiyan looked at the flowers already spread out on the ground and guessed it right away.
After people in the village have picked the flowers, they will immediately replace them with copper plates to dry them in the sun, wasting time and delaying picking the flowers.
They all competed to pick more flowers.
Therefore, the flowers collected are all wet and freshly picked from the mountain.
Wang Cuihua was the one who handled it before. Yesterday, Wang Cuihua spent the whole day picking flowers in exchange for money to stop her mother-in-law from being beaten to death.
I guess I don't have time to post it.
Ji Caiyan came here to deal with those wet flowers.
Unexpectedly, it has all been dried.
"I am also idle when I am idle. I have taken coins from left and right, so I must be helping you with your work."
When Uncle Jiang mentioned copper coins, he felt a little embarrassed.
I feel like I didn't do much work, but I got so many copper coins.
In the past few years because of my poor health, I couldn't grow crops on an acre of land, and my harvest was always less than other people's.
After the taxes were removed, they could barely make ends meet by eating wild vegetables dug from the ground.
There is no other income at all.
"You have worked hard, and this is what you deserve. If you are willing, you can work here for a long time in the future."
"When the workshop is built, there will be more things to see. I will give you a wage increase then."
Ji Caiyan rarely spoke pleasantly.
"There's no need for a salary increase, I can just keep working here!"
Uncle Jiang laughed happily when he heard that Ji Caiyan still used him.
This made him feel that people are still useful when they are old. At least they can support themselves, and they don't need the food stored in the village ancestral hall when they are old.
"Uncle, did you drink the spring water here when you lived here?"
Ji Caiyan fell into the stream nearby.
This stream is a branch of the spring that was blessed by Fat Tiger last time. "Yes!"
"Anyway, I am the only one in the house, so I can stay here and look at the flowers! I often use the water here when I eat and drink!"
"This water tastes sweet, better than well water!"
Uncle Jiang couldn't help but praise.
Since coming here, my energy and spirit have improved a lot, and I am no longer as sick as before.
Now he is full of energy and has endless strength.
Ji Caiyan also noticed Uncle Jiang's mental outlook.
When she first came to the village, she also met the old people in the village.
His eyes were dull and his body was stooped.
They cannot work in the fields and cannot contribute to their families.
When a person does not contribute to his family, he will subconsciously reduce his sense of existence and voice.
Uncle Jiang is obviously much more energetic now.
It seems that Fat Tiger's blessing is quite useful.
"Uncle, please stay here for a while. When the workshop is built, a special room will be set aside for you as a studio."
Ji Caiyan said.
"Good good."
Uncle Jiang didn't know what a studio was, so he just kept nodding.
Ji Caiyan is his little boss, so he must listen to her words.
After chatting briefly with Uncle Jiang, Ji Caiyan walked towards the road against the back mountain.
I saw a thin figure in the distance.
"Pandi, what are you doing here?"
Ji Caiyan glanced at the frame behind Jiang Pandi and saw it was clean.
No wild vegetables, no wild flowers.
"I, I'm here to find you."
Jiang Pandi pursed her thin lips. She was too nervous to look directly into Ji Caiyan's eyes when speaking. "I just want to ask you if you have any work for me to do here. I can do it for half of other people's wages."
The family is so poor that it is almost impossible to open the pot.
Just digging wild vegetables will not fill your stomach.
The crops in the fields have not yet grown, and the family has no extra money to buy food.
The food bought with copper coins exchanged for wild flowers can only meet urgent needs. After the flowers fade, the family will still be hungry.
She could only find a way to try her luck here.
"Yes, but before that, you have to promise me something."
Ji Caiyan looked Jiang Pandi up and down and continued, "I can use you, but you can't tell anyone else anything I tell you, not even your sister Jiang Zhaodi."
Ji Caiyan knew Jiang Zhaodi's attitude towards the Jiang family.
Jiang Pandi should not be on Jiang Zhaodi's side.
The most important point is that as long as Jiang Pandi leaks what Ji Caiyan told him, there will definitely be feedback from Jiang Zhaodi and the system.
If Jiang Pandi doesn't follow her eldest sister, Ji Caiyan is willing to let the Jiang family have enough to eat.
They are all people of Dayan, and she will not give up on anyone for no reason.
"Okay, I won't tell anyone, not even Jiang Zhaodi."
Jiang Pandi opened her mouth slowly.
This time, she did not call her eldest sister, but called Jiang Zhaodi by her name.
Ji Caiyan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
If she remembered correctly, the punishment for failing a certain mission was that two people around Jiang Zhaodi immediately knew Jiang Zhaodi's origins.
Ji Caiyan originally thought that she would see the villagers burning the witch, but she escaped quietly.
It seems that the two people who knew Jiang Zhaodi's origin did not say anything.
Could one of them be Jiang Pandi? Ask for a recommendation ticket.
