Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 63 Graduates

Digging pits, placing saplings, filling soil, and watering, the students worked in groups of three, with a clear division of labor and full of energy.Seeing everyone working in full swing, Meng Zhen was also very happy.At this rate, today's [-] trees are just a small case, maybe we can increase the amount tomorrow.

However, at eleven o'clock, the sun began to shine, and the speed of the students also slowed down. Although they were wearing baseball caps or sun hats, they were still flushed and sweating profusely.

Meng Zhen came out of the small restaurant to order a meal, and remembered that they hadn't prepared water for them, so he turned to the canteen on the middle street and bought two buckets of mineral water to carry up the hillside.

When she arrived on the mountain, she saw that the students were a little listless, so she asked everyone to sit down, rest and drink some water.

After working for more than two hours, the students were really tired and thirsty. Hearing Meng Zhen's greeting, they quickly put down the tools in their hands and gathered around to get water to drink.

"Sister Meng, hello! My name is Song Yaping, I've heard of you!" Meng Zhen took a bottle of water and drank slowly, but his eyes stayed on the newly planted saplings.Just as she was lost in thought, Song Yaping also brought a bottle of water over to her.

"Huh? What, you've heard of me!" Meng Zhen was a little slow to react, and looked blankly at the little girl who approached to chat with her.

"Yes, my family belongs to Songzhuang. Do you know Song Guoyong who opened the fish pond?"

"Song Guoyong? Oh, I know him. He is Mrs. Song's son. He sold my fish fry to me!"

"Hehe, that's him. He's our neighbor. I often hear Mrs. Song mentioning you. When I saw the recruitment notice, I wondered if Ms. Meng was the Meng Zhen she often talked about?!"

"So you came to take a look?" Meng Zhen had a good impression of Song Yaping, and felt that she was assertive and courageous.

"Well," Song Yaping is a student of the Agricultural University. She just graduated this year. When she went back to school to pick up her luggage, she saw Meng Zhen's recruitment notice and wondered if it was the woman in the legend?With the attitude of giving it a try, she also came.

"I studied gardening at school, but it's not easy to find a job in this major. I wanted to contract a few acres of land and plant some fruit trees, but our village is different from here, and there is almost no open space. And I go to school For four years, the family spent a lot of money, and I have no savings in my hands, so it is simply unrealistic to contract with empty words."

"I was very impressed when I heard your story from Mrs. Song. So, I thought that if I had the opportunity, I must get to know you. Sister Meng, I have a question and I want to ask you!"

"Oh, what's the question?" Meng Zhen thought not to ask me too professional questions. Her research on fruit trees is definitely not as much as that of Song Yaping.

"Sister Meng, I think your mountain area is very large. If you plant fruit trees, can you two take care of it?" Song Yaping expressed her thoughts, "There are more than 8000 trees, just watering, Fertilization, spraying medicine, etc., one or two people must be too busy. Do you need to hire a few people to help, preferably professional counterparts, what do you think?"

Meng Zhen understood a little bit, the little girl wanted to recommend herself.However, what she said is also reasonable, not whether she is busy enough, but that she has never planted trees on such a large scale, and there will definitely be many problems in the future.Well, this Song Yaping is studying gardening, so the major is very suitable, or...

"Well, I've thought about this too, but my villa has just been established, and I haven't planned anything yet. Yaping, is your gardening at the Agricultural University? Do you have any plans after graduation?"

"Well, I majored in gardening. I graduated this year and I'm still looking for a job. If you think I'm okay, Sister Meng, I can stay and help you take care of the fruit trees. Besides, my home is in Songzhuang, far away from here. It's very close, so you don't have to worry about accommodation."

"Okay, if you don't dislike the difficult conditions here, I welcome you at any time! There are too many jobs at hand, and I can't leave my family. I just need a helper. If you are willing to come, we can discuss the treatment issue talk!"

"Hehe, okay," Song Yaping saw that things were basically settled, so she began to think about the problem from Meng Zhen's standpoint. She looked at the classmates who were too tired to get up, and said with some concern: "Sister Meng, I'm worried about tomorrow There may be some students who are too tired and won’t come back. It’s better to increase the recruitment efforts, otherwise after a long time, people will be gone.”

"Enen, I think so too!" Meng Zhen was worried that the students would not be able to bear the hardships. They might still be fresh at the beginning, but after a long time, they were hot and tired, and worried that they would not be able to persist.

Everyone rested for a while and started working again.The wages are calculated on a case-by-case basis, if you do more work, you will get more money.

At noon, the small restaurant delivered the pre-ordered boxed lunches. The dishes were ordered by Meng Zhen. There were two meat and two vegetarian dishes. There were steamed buns and rice for the students to choose.Everyone stopped one after another, found a shady place and began to eat together with three or five people.

Meng Zhen and Zheng Jian also held a boxed lunch each, plus her first employee, Song Yaping, and the three gathered together, discussing how to go to several schools to post recruitment in the afternoon while eating.

After lunch, Meng Zhen announced that everyone is free to move around. They can choose to rest in a temporary shed on the mountain, or find a place to rest at the foot of the mountain, and come back at three o'clock at noon to continue working.

Some of the boys went down the mountain, came to the river, and found a big shady stone slab to lie down and take a nap; some stayed in the shed on the mountain. The shed was not big, but there was a long wooden table. There were two long benches on both sides, and they rested on the wooden table.

The girls followed Meng Zhen back home, some slept on the stone table in the yard, and some slept on the sofa in the living room.

Neither Meng Zhen nor Song Yaping slept, and they discussed the employment conditions in detail in the study.The salary offered by Meng Zhen is still very good, with a monthly salary of 2000 yuan. He goes to work at 08:30 in the morning and leaves at 06:30 in the evening, and he can eat at noon.One week off one week, one week off on two days off, and co-authors have seven days off every month.

The content of the work is now to plant trees and check the quality.After the trees are planted, they will be watered and dewormed regularly. Meng Zhen clearly stated that her fruit trees do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Although Song Yaping didn't agree with manual deworming, but judging by Meng Zhen's appearance, she probably won't be the only one recruited. When there are too many people, manual work will be done.It just happens that you can also put the knowledge learned in the classroom into practice.

The two talked very smoothly, and immediately signed a relatively simple contract.Meng Zhen can be regarded as the first employee who has truly become a boss and has a career.

In the afternoon, after the break, everyone started working again.After a short break, he seems to be motivated again.At five o'clock, the [-] trees were basically planted. Meng Zhen took Song Yaping to make a general inspection, and they all did well.

So, under everyone's eager eyes, Meng Zhen settled the wages for everyone according to the numbers recorded in the notebook.Some students were working part-time for the first time, and their hands were covered with sparkling blisters due to digging holes. They were thinking that they would not come tomorrow, but when they received the money, they found that their hard work had paid off. worth it!

Meng Zhen sent the students away, and told them that it would start at eight o'clock tomorrow, and that tomorrow's volume would be larger and they would earn more money.She wasn't sure how many of this group of people would come tomorrow, so she printed out a lot of recruitment notices and called Zheng Jian to the vegetable garden, while she drove to several nearby universities and vocational colleges.

The next day, three girls and one boy from yesterday's group did not come, plus a dozen or so newly recruited students, exactly forty people, excluding Song Yaping, there were still 39 students.According to yesterday's pattern, today will be carried out in groups, one group will bring a newcomer, a group of three, and Song Yaping will supervise and guide.

Zheng Jian didn't follow, and a batch of vegetables has been cooked these few days, which is the time for picking, so he didn't go yesterday, and let Meng Xianglei do it by himself.Although people know that the family is busy planting trees, but after all, it is a partnership business, so we should be more conscious.With Song Yaping as his assistant, Meng Zhen asked Zheng Jian to go to the vegetable garden.

With veterans leading the novices, and Song Yaping's guidance and supervision, today's progress is obviously much faster than yesterday's.Yesterday, more than 20 people planted 1000 trees. Today, the nursery directly sent [-] trees. By the time of lunch, nearly [-] trees had been planted. Meng Zhen estimated that more than [-] trees will be planted by the evening. .

Enen, yes, Meng Zhen looked at the data recorded by Song Yaping. According to this progress, in three or four days, her fruit trees will be finished.

"I saw a mountain eagle flying over the lonely two fish, and the two fish crossed the sea-like salty river", the phone rang.After Meng Zhen got a new phone, the ringtone also changed, and Chen Xue laughed as: from a lonely white-collar worker ("I" by Shang Wenjie) to a chic nationalist ("All Things Live" by Sa Dingding).

Meng Zhen was noncommittal about this, and she admitted that after coming to Zhoujiazhuang, especially after owning the manor, her state of mind changed a lot.

"Hello!"

"Hey, Zhennier, I'm Wang Yongming. I've already found that worker, he is the most skilled construction worker. Besides, I've also contacted the materials, such as bricks, lime, prefabricated panels, etc., I don't need you Worry to buy..."

Wang Yongming's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Meng Zhen was very happy to hear his words.She thought she would have to wait a week for the workers to come, but she didn't expect it to be done in three or four days.And you don't even have to collect the materials yourself.

"Really, thank you so much, Uncle Yongming, when do you think we can start construction?"

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, by the way, you can pull the wires well. If you do it well, we can even pull people and tools with a big truck!"

"Hey, okay, I've already discussed the wires with Village Chief Meng, and he said that he will help find someone to fix them in the next two days. Otherwise, come over tomorrow and lay the foundation first! What do you think, Uncle Yongming?!"

"No problem, it's settled like that. I'll bring the workers and materials over there tomorrow. At that time, we'll count the money for you together!"

"Okay, whatever!"

Meng Zhen believed that Wang Yongming would not ask her for extravagant prices. During the renovation last time, the two of them cooperated very well, and he was very relieved to let him build the house.
