Chapter 140

These female workers suddenly felt proud.

Look, we can also work and earn money, instead of just sitting around the stove at home.

Some little girls only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. They could earn money by themselves. They thought their grandmother would no longer ask them to sell them for money or food, right?

Many people tried to inquire, say nice things, and beg... Some people couldn't help but agree, while others refused without even thinking about it.

Zhou Yang's family was also asked for help.

"Sister-in-law, I can see that you are a kind person. I wonder if your child can help me ask the manager tomorrow if they are still hiring?"

Zhou Yang's wife stammered, "Ah, this... I don't know."

"Sister-in-law, please help me ask. I really want to do it. You can see that I have old people and young children at home..."

"Well, my three children also went out to work on their first day. They just kept their heads down and didn't dare to say anything, let alone ask about the manager's affairs."

Zhou Yang's wife thought to herself, do you think I'm stupid? If my Zhou family's child speaks up, what if the manager comes across as nosy and loses his good impression of me?

In this world, it is easy for everyone.

When Manager Bai came to recruit people in the morning, you all stayed away.

Now that he sees that the food provided by the caravan is good and there is an extra reward of two kilograms of meat, he comes to beg for it with a flattering face. How can such a good thing be possible?

"Sister-in-law..."

Zhou Meimei couldn't bear to watch this, so she said, "Aunt, we are too timid to ask. How about this, you ask the manager of the caravan yourself tomorrow."

"I only found out after asking myself. Even if the caravan is short of people, they still have to pick and choose. Not everyone can do it."

If I and my two cousins ​​ask for help, and then we fail to be selected, won't they be the ones to be blamed?

At that time, they might even go around saying that they were not helping wholeheartedly. Instead of that, it would be better to refuse them from the beginning.

Anyway, if someone really wants to do it, they will go find the person in charge.

Bai Tao had thought about paying a little more, but she couldn't ignore the practical aspects.

If they gave too much, the Baijiabao caravan might be targeted as a fat sheep, and the hired workers might be robbed as soon as they took the money and food back.

It's easy for several companies to rob one company.

If these people can maintain basic food and clothing, then even if they stay by the Qingquan River for the next eight to ten days, they will not rob Taohua Village because they can't make a living.

Even though they were camping by the river, Taohua Village held a short meeting after dinner as usual, and each group reported some things to Bai Tao.

“…Master Tang and his disciples crossed Lingyun Ferry and took a bottomless boat, finally reaching the other side, where they were reborn and arrived at Lingshan…” Bai Tao also finished telling the story of Journey to the West today.

Bai Duojin seemed to be thinking about something: "It seems that the Western Paradise also has these twists and turns." He even asked for the purple gold bowl before doing the job.

The villagers also complained in their hearts. If the heavens were so worldly, it would not be surprising on earth.

We have to work harder and not let our aunt embarrass herself in her hometown.

Bai Tao is only five years old, at the age when she likes to stay in bed, especially since it is winter now.

She was reluctant to leave the warm bed after sleeping all night, so she lingered and it was already past ten o'clock when she left the tent.

After she washed up, Bai Dashan did not come to report anything, so Bai Tao asked someone to carry the sedan chair to the river for her.

She was fishing while eating egg custard and millet cake.

Bai Tao said they were fishing, but in fact, Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi each had a fishing rod, while she was reading a picture book from time to time.

"Hey, there are fish again."

Baiqi exclaimed with joy and quickly pulled the fishing rod back.

"Look, Auntie, you caught a big fish. It's bigger than the last one. I estimate it weighs more than four or five kilograms."

Bai Tao looked up and praised with sparkling eyes: "Not bad, not bad, two fish in one minute." "Come on, you two, whether we can each get a fish for lunch today depends on you."

Bai Xiaocao also raised her rod and pulled up a fish. She smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, don't worry. We will work hard together."

It's strange to say, there are so many fish in this river, and they must be starving. As soon as she and Baiqi put down their hooks, fish would bite the hooks soon.

Nor is it.

Bai Xiaocao subconsciously looked at the little baby who was kicking his arms and legs and rolling around on the sedan chair, seemingly amused by the picture book.

She thought to herself, it’s probably because of her aunt. Only because of her aunt are these fishes coming over.

Bai Qi and Bai Xiaocao had no idea that the reason they were able to catch so many fish was because Bai Tao had thrown out fish food in advance to prepare the nest.

Lu Xiaohao had nothing to do today, so when he saw Bai Tao taking people fishing, he also got a fishing rod and went fishing.

But he was embarrassed to come to Bai Tao and the other two, so he found a seat not far away.

Yang Song was full of confidence at first as he carried the fish basket, but after a cup of tea, he couldn't help but speak.

"Sir, no fish yet?"

"Sir, is it possible that all the fish have run away from the place we chose?"

"Sir, is it because the fish food is not good?"

"Son..."

The fishing hook has been put down for a long time, but not a single fish has been caught. On the contrary, Miss Bai keeps catching fish.

Lu Xiaohao also raised his head and said in a serious voice: "Shut up, or you might run the fish away."

It was embarrassing enough that he didn't catch any fish, and this guy was chattering and making a lot of noise beside him.

Yang Song: "Uh..."

He turned his head to look at Bai Tao and thought, Miss Bai is not quiet either.

The two little girls were chattering from time to time, and the white girl was smiling happily while looking at the sketchbook, and she still caught some fish.

His gaze returned to his master again. Although Yang Song didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the place his master found was really not good. There was not even a small fish.

"Sir, otherwise..."

"Oh, I got it." Lu Xiaohao was actually also anxious. After the fish dart finally moved, he raised his eyebrows and spoke out proudly.

"It looks like a big one..." As he said that, he grinned and hurriedly pulled the lever.

Yang Song also happily agreed: "Yes, young master is very capable..."

Before he could finish his words, the fish was pulled out of the water.

Then, when the master and servant saw the fish they caught, smiles froze on their faces.

What the hell?

A fish no thicker than two fingers was hanging on the hook, swinging its tail back and forth.

Why are there always fish weighing three to five kilograms over there, while here the fish are just as thick as two fingers?

"Sir?"

Lu Xiaohao came back to his senses, coughed twice to cover up his mistake, quickly untied the fish, and threw it into the fish basket held by Yang Song.

If it were before, he would have thrown such a small fish back into the river, but after going hungry recently, he also understood that no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat.

If you collect three or five fish, you can make fish soup.
