After listening to Qian Qiaoqing's words, Xia Qingyun's face turned blue.

These two long-tongued women, even if they arrange themselves, actually say that their mother is so unbearable. I didn't know them in general before, and I kicked my nose and face. The tiger is not powerful, when I am a sick cat!

Qian Qiaoqing said: "Those who don't know why in the village will inevitably be bewitched by your two aunts. You better hurry up and think of a way, otherwise we won't be able to pick all the tea trees all over the mountains and fields. ”

Xia Qingyun endured his anger and forced a smile and said, "Sister Qiaoqing, thank you, doing good is protected by God, and doing evil is not tolerated by God." Sooner or later, there will be retribution. Now I have to bother the sisters to help. It's still hot, so don't be too tired. ”

She beckoned to the girls and handed out the red envelope to them, "Sisters, thank you for coming to Qingyun Tea Garden, I dare not guarantee anything else, the salary is true." Everyone help me, Xia Qingyun has written down this love! ”

The girls who came were all spicy and capable, and the family was also sensible, and they had already discussed it in private, no matter how those people chewed their tongues, they were doing the right thing, and earning money was the right thing.

Everyone put on a headscarf and a hat, entered the garden, their fingers flew on the tip of the tea tree, pinched, lifted, and released, and the green fresh leaves fell into the bamboo basket like a green butterfly. If you have a quick eye, you can simply start work with both hands, and the bamboo basket will soon be covered with a layer of tea.

Tea picking is very particular about the technique, when picking must gently lift the buds and leaves, must not be pinched with fingernails, otherwise the tea stalk will be black, and the taste of the tea will be more bitter.

Xia Qingyun walked around the tea garden a few times, and his heart gradually calmed down. The tree is a big move, the Xia family has turned over, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and resentful, and talk nonsense behind their backs, if they are entangled in these small things, they will mistake their own big things.

After a long time, as long as she runs the tea garden well, she doesn't believe that the people in the village will put the money and not earn it. Even if there is a temporary shortage of manpower, the inventory of the first few months can last some time. It's a big deal to work harder and work harder in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion. Let my mother go to the dental shop to ask questions, and look for more girls who have signed the death contract, so that she will no longer worry about the lack of manpower in the spring of the next year.

"Qingyun! Qingyun! The sister-in-law's voice came from behind him.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come up the mountain?" Xia Qingyun looked back, and hurriedly ran over to hug Xia Yinglan, "It's so hot, why don't you rest at home, my uncle should be distressed when I look back!" ”

Xia Yinglan walked in a hurry, her face flushed. She wiped the sweat from her head, looked into the tea garden, and said anxiously: "There are only a few people!" Or am I bouncing you! If it weren't for my business, the second and third sisters-in-law wouldn't have hated you so much. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't think about it, you are a person with a body now." Xia Qingyun helped her sister-in-law sit down on a big stone and asked, "Sister-in-law, how do you know that no one has come to work in the tea garden?" ”

The sister-in-law replied: "Your uncle went to the workshop today, and when he heard his cousin Qian Xingxue talk about it, he came back to sue me." Qingyun, don't worry, your uncle has already gone back to the village to find someone. However, their village is separated from our Nord Stream by three mountains, and they will not be able to come back until tomorrow morning at the earliest. You let the family pack up two rooms and come here to have a place to live. ”

The aunt and nephew were talking, and the mother took Hua Ling to the tea garden.

"Yinglan, why are you here too! It's so hot in the tea garden, be careful not to hurt your body! The mother said worriedly.

Xia Yinglan smiled: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Just said to Qingyun and asked her not to worry, Wu Chen had already rushed back to the village to call someone. His three sisters-in-law have sisters in their families, and if they find some acquaintances, how can they come with five or six people. ”

The mother sighed: "Alas, I still bothered you. After all, I will find some people in the tooth shop and raise some tea workers at home, and I will not be afraid in the future. ”

"I'm thinking about it too," Xia Qingyun said, "I don't need to have many people in my own family, just twenty or thirty." Beixi Village doesn't have much land by the mountains, and after a long time, others earn money and live a good life, and those who can't make up their minds will have to come over to work sooner or later. ”

Hua Ling said angrily: "Sister Qingyun, they are too vicious, we didn't provoke them, why do you always stab you in the back." Otherwise, I'll let them teach them a lesson! ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, so we don't have to work hard for these little things." ”

really made her right, just that night, something strange happened in Beixi Village.

The matter came out of the Xia family's old house.

When An heard that most of the workers in the tea garden were missing, he gloated and hid in the house for a long time and talked about cool words, coaxed the child to sleep, and had fun with Xia Jianxi for half a night, before he fell asleep contentedly.

Who knew that when she woke up the next morning, she felt that something was wrong, and as soon as she sat up, Xia Jiaxi beside her pointed at her head and screamed as if she had seen a ghost.

An Shi touched his head, and suddenly the three souls were gone, and he screamed in shock: "Hair! My hair! ”

She was shouting here, and there was also a howl like the Wang family killing a pig from Xia Jian'an's house.

Overnight, the hair of two people fell out strangely! And the hair that fell out is gone, not a single one is left!

Wang and An covered their sloppy skulls, so ashamed that they got into the bed and didn't dare to come out.

Xia Jian'an and Xia Jianxi were also stunned, jumped out of bed barefoot, and saw that the doors and windows were tightly closed.

"Ghost shaves your head!" The two men were so frightened that they ran out of the house and crashed into each other in the yard.

On this morning, the Xia family's house also ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

As soon as breakfast was over, the girl came to deliver a message, saying that more than a dozen girls had come to the door, and they wanted to find Miss Xia.

Xia Qingyun and her mother thought that Wu Chen had found someone, so they hurriedly asked the girl to invite someone in.

After a while, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls followed the girl.

The woman walking in front was tall and slender, wearing a pleated skirt of fragrant cloud yarn, and the skirt was tied with an emerald green silk silk, and a phoenix jade pendant was hung on the silk. A pair of phoenix eyes and autumn pupils cut water, eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, red lips under the nose with a smile, walked to the hall and said, "Zhiqiu to Mrs. Xia and Miss Xia to say goodbye!" ”

Xia Qingyun looked behind her and didn't see Wu Chen's figure. A dozen girls dressed in muslin gowns, carrying bags in their hands, and carrying hats stood in two rows and saluted with her.

"Who are you?" Xia Qingyun frowned slightly, not knowing where they came from.

"You're Miss Xia Qingyun, right?" Zhiqiu replied with a smile: "Our son-in-law heard that there is a need for manpower in the Qingyun Tea Garden, so he specially sent me to bring a group of sisters to help Miss Xia. These are all clever, please Miss Xia send someone to guide you on the essentials of tea picking. In addition, please pack out a few guest rooms, there is a simple bed, three meals a day do not need to be specially prepared, just eat with the people in the house. ”

Xia Qingyun and her mother looked at each other, confused.

"Dare to ask the girl, who is your son-in-law? Qingyun didn't know where it came from, and he didn't dare to work everyone. ”

Zhi Qiuwan smiled and said, "Childe knew that the girl would ask like this, and he instructed us to only let us work here honestly, and ignore anything else." If the young lady asked, she would say that she would know about it in the future. ”

She saw that Xia Qingyun and her mother were full of doubts, and said with a smile: "Madam, Miss, you can put a hundred hearts, my son-in-law has no malice." He likes to drink Miss Xia's Baihao silver needle the most, and said that it would be a pity that he couldn't drink such a wonderful drink if he delayed the time to pick tea, so he sent us to help. Without the permission of the son, we will never be able to tell the calendar, and we will obey the master's destiny as the next person, and please don't embarrass me anymore. ”

The mother smiled: "How does your son-in-law know that the tea garden is short of manpower?" ”

Zhiqiu replied: "Our son's eyes and ears are clear, and he is clever, so naturally there is a way to know, but those of us who are subordinates are not easy to talk nonsense." ”

There is a way to stretch out your hand and not hit the smiling person, although Xia Qingyun was strange in her heart, but seeing that Zhiqiu was behaving well, she was by no means an ordinary daughter, and she rushed to the tea garden to help, so she had to order her to go down first, and take everyone to the back cover room to settle down.

As soon as Zhiqiu and the people left here, the girl came to report again, saying that Wu Chen had also come over with a few girls.

Xia Qingyun was busy asking people to come in.

Wu Chen hurriedly walked in with a few girls, these girls were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, their complexions were slightly dark, and they looked like peasant women who often worked in the fields.

"Sister-in-law, Qingyun, this is my sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law's nieces and nieces, I heard me say that our family is in urgent need of manpower, and they are all willing to come over to help." Wu Chen introduced them one by one.

"Uncle his, you're tired!" The mother hurriedly asked the maid to bring a stool and beckoned them to sit down and talk.

"Sister-in-law, you're out of sight! If it weren't for you, my eldest brother, and Qingyun's help, Yinglan and I wouldn't know what to do now. Wu Chen's words really came from the heart.

Xia Qingyun glanced over and saw a total of eight girls, with a slight resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes, and knew that they were from the same family.

She smiled and said: "Uncle Lao bothered, these sisters are capable at a glance, according to the rules of the tea garden, the salary is calculated according to the number of green tea picked, and the sisters will be paid two taels of silver, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

"Oh, it's all my own family, or so much." Wu Chen excused himself.

Xia Qingyun smiled: "Then how can it be done!" The sisters came all the way to save our family, how can there be no thanks! If my uncle shirks it, then I won't be good for the tribal sisters. ”

"Yes, his uncle, if you don't agree, then we will only treat the girls as guests at our house." The mother also said with a smile.

Wu Chen got up and said, "Then listen to my sister-in-law!" I brought them over directly, and I didn't stay long before I went home to see Yinglan. ”

As he spoke, he instructed a few more girls to learn how to pick tea with Qingyun before leaving.

Xia Qingyun was also happy and worried in his heart, happy that he was worried that there were not enough people in the tea garden yesterday, but today there are so many hulala, and this year's autumn tea will definitely be a bumper harvest. Worried, Miss Zhiqiu insisted on refusing to explain her origin, she didn't even know whose favor she had won, and she would not only be involved in something in the future.

At this point, it's useless to think about it. She instructed the girl to take a few girls to the back room to settle down, and then go to the tea garden after resting for half an hour.
