Erya grabbed Liu Xialian's arm and shook it: "Sister, can you plant some more watermelons, melons, and tomatoes? People don't like to eat prickly ash sprouts."

Daya said, "Go away, don't mess with me. There are dozens of trees planted here."

Erya shook her head: "That's just a little bit. I want to eat it every day."

Liu Xia Lian said, "Okay, okay, Erya, don't worry. We will build 20 greenhouses one after another. The third greenhouse will be planted with watermelons, the fourth greenhouse will be planted with melons, and the fifth greenhouse will be planted with tomatoes."

"Yeah yeah yeah." Erya jumped up happily and touched the plastic sheet on the ceiling. She was so scared that she caught a cold and shrank her head. Her jumping ability is really good.

For the next ten days, Liu Xialian stayed at home, except for the occasional trip to the forest farm. She built three more greenhouses on her own land. She also hired three new long-term female workers, and the greenhouse cultivation was on the right track. A simple house was built next to the greenhouse, and Li Hu and Xu Xiong lived in it in the evening to guard the greenhouse against fire and theft.

That evening, Liu Xia Lian held a meeting for the female workers in the greenhouse.

There are five people in total. In addition to Chunlan and Shuiqin, the other three newcomers are also from this village. They are in their thirties and above, with both old and young people.

A management sign was placed next to Li Hu, listing several management points.

Liu Xialian cleared her throat and said, "I'm going to hold a meeting with you today to talk about a few things, because there are new people here and they are not familiar with me. First of all, regarding the issue of wages, we pay them monthly, and according to the months of the solar calendar. For example, the wages for March will be paid on time on April 10. The wages are composed of three parts: basic salary, overtime bonus, and special bonus. The basic salary is 35 yuan a month. Under normal circumstances, you will have four days off a month and work about ten hours a day. If it is the harvest season and you are too busy and work overtime, you will be paid 20 cents per hour. Special bonuses include work attitude, work enthusiasm, some good suggestions made during the first-level work, and good planting methods. There are rewards of five to ten yuan per month."

A new sister-in-law named Cuihua was surprised: "Oh my god, if I can get a bonus, wouldn't it be 45 or 46 yuan a month? My husband works in a coal mine, and he gets 40 yuan a month. He comes home every month showing off. When I make more money, I can beat him up."

"Hahaha, I'm just afraid you can't win." Everyone laughed.

"A basic salary of thirty-five yuan and overtime pay for working more than ten hours are mandatory. Bonuses depend on the specific situation and how well you do. Sister Chunlan, you have been promoted to greenhouse supervisor, with a monthly salary of fifty-five yuan, and bonuses are not included. The others are each responsible for a greenhouse, and they are all greenhouse owners."

Chun Lan only felt her throat dry and her hands a little tense. It felt like meeting a handsome guy on a blind date.

Liu Xialian went on to say, "We are definitely short of manpower. Chunlan will be responsible for recruiting temporary workers. They will be paid one yuan a day, and food and drink will be provided. Remember our principles. No matter where the temporary workers come from, you regular workers cannot bully them. You must not owe them a penny of wages, and you must pay them after the work is completed."

"Okay, I understand." Chun Lan said.

"It's up to you to decide who will be in charge of which stage." Liu Xia Lian delegated power to Chun Lan. Once the makeshift troupe was set up, they had to perform.

Rural women are hardworking and able to endure hardships, but some of them are also stingy and mean. They only attract ordinary people, so disputes are inevitable.

Since it involves a ten-dollar bonus, Cuihua got a little anxious and arranged for her to be the owner of a shed of prickly ash buds. This stuff is everywhere in the mountains, and there are too many wild vegetables to pick. Who can she sell them to?

Chunlan arranged for Cuihua to manage the prickly ash bud shed.

Cuihua was obviously unhappy: "No, Chunlan, can you adjust it for me? I don't want to manage the thorny bud shed."

Shuiqin has a different idea. She lives alone with a six-year-old boy. She earned a total of 42 yuan last month. Her family of two is well fed and well clothed. She doesn't have to worry about the tuition for her child's red education class this year. That's enough.

I couldn't let Chunlan get embarrassed, so I immediately said, "The thorny old buds are also good. I'll give you my pepper shed."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Sister Shuiqin."

Liu Xialian said: "I have to go to the county to deliver goods and arrange to pick peppers."

Anyone who has planted green peppers knows that the fruit is very large when it starts to bear fruit. Now, at the beginning, several people worked together to pick more than 20 kilograms of peppers. Liu Xialian also picked a dozen watermelons and a dozen melons. They were all packed in baskets wrapped in tarpaulin, loaded onto the carriage, and covered with a thick quilt.

Liu Xia Lian took the biggest watermelon and two melons and told Shui Qin: "In two hours, take these melons to Daya and Erya. They love them."

"Okay, don't worry, I promise to complete the task."

Two horse-drawn carriages were dispatched today, with big black mules pulling more than 100 kilograms of fish, driven by Li Hu and Xu Xiong.

The big green horses were carrying a small amount of fruits and vegetables. Because everyone had to go their separate ways after arriving at the forest farm, two vehicles were used.

As soon as Liu Xia Lian left, the greenhouse became busy.

Cuihua was gossiping and said, "Why is Xia Lian so nice to Daya and Erya? Such a big melon must have been eaten in several pieces, but it was eaten by two stupid people."

Chun Lan glared at her and said, "Cuihua, don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if you scold the boss, she may not care about you. But if you are Cricket Daya or Erya, you must forget it and never say such things again."

Cuihua was startled: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore. Look at my rude mouth. I deserve a beating, I deserve a beating."

The big blue horse was already pregnant when she was bought. Her belly is not obvious now and she walks quite fast, even faster than the big black one.

Da Qingma was very puzzled. The cart was very light when it first started moving, but how come it became heavier as it moved forward?

At the beginning, there were only a dozen watermelons. Halfway through, Liu Xialian released more than a hundred watermelons from the space, weighing more than a thousand kilograms. The use of space is still in the exploratory stage, and there are many things that I don't understand. This is not a talking system, and there is no introduction. I can only cross the river by feeling the stones, little by little.

Liu Xia Lian first went to her own iron pot to stew and unloaded a bag of green peppers, about ten pounds.

Li Ganzi was surprised: "The green peppers are really coming down. Today we have a new dish, stir-fried pork with peppers."

People in Northeast China don't tolerate spicy food as well as people in the south, but this kind of green pepper is only slightly spicy, not extremely spicy.

"Okay, you decide. Green peppers will be delivered every few days. Here are ten watermelons. Keep two for the employees to share, and make a fruit plate with the rest to entertain the guests."
