next morning.

The proud Pei Ji still refused to let Zhu Jiangjiang get up, and lay on the bed with her for a long, long time, but refused to let go.

"Sir, I really have something to do for a few days!"

Zhu Jiangjiang struggled in his arms until a thin layer of sweat broke out, but he still couldn't break free at all, which made him anxious.

With a hoarse voice, Pei Ji warned her in a low voice: "My lady, if you move again, you won't even think about getting out of bed today."

"..."

Wherever Zhu Jiangjiang dared to move, she hid in the quilt to minimize her sense of existence.

Without Pei Xiaoyu at home, Pei Ji would be reckless.

I really hope that someone can come and call them!

"Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you—"

Downstairs, the footsteps and voices of Xu Laogen leading a few people into the courtyard of Pei's house could be heard, "It's strange, the door wasn't opened, did you go out or didn't get up?"

Looking at the closed door of Pei's house, if it is not locked on the outside, it must be locked on the inside.

It's almost noon, Zhu Jiangjiang hasn't woken up yet?

This is a new thing. They seem to have never seen Zhu Jiangjiang who wakes up so late. She was the most diligent before.

"Why don't you guys go to my house and wait, and I'll go find my sister-in-law." When Xu Laogen was about to take the man to his house, Zhu Jiangjiang appeared upstairs.

"Grandpa Xu."

She didn't know when she had already dressed, but her hair hadn't been combed, "I'm really sorry, I was too tired yesterday."

She only spoke half of what she said, leaving half for them to guess.

Except for Xu Laogen, she was familiar with the people who came downstairs, but she couldn't name them, and most of them didn't know each other. "Who are they?"

"Little village head, we are here to apply for work in the fish pond. The village head said that we can apply today, right?" A young and honest man wearing a straw hat said heartily.

He was carrying a rag bundle in his hand, and a pair of shabby but clean shoes were pinned to his belt.

Under the arm is a coir raincoat.

This seemed to be his entire wardrobe.

He moved his family here, so confident that he will be able to apply for a job today?

Zhu Jiangjiang looked back at the room, and Pei Ji had already got up and dressed, so she went downstairs to open the door with confidence, "It's today, please wait for me first, I'll come down right away."

After washing up briefly, she didn't take a bite of the meal, and together with Xu Laogen, brought these people to the shrimp pond.

Pei Ji was so angry that she was always in such a hurry that she didn't even eat. He heated up last night's food, put it in a food box, and then followed him to the shrimp pond.

shrimp pond.

"The pond you see in front of you belongs to my family, and the houses on the shore are where you will live in the future."

Zhu Jiangjiang pointed to a vast expanse of white pond, and explained clearly the job requirements and content of the shrimp pond to a few people, lest they think the job is easy.

"If you do this job, what you have to do every day is to feed the fish, feed them, then patrol, check the water flow, and watch out for thieves at night, etc. Although the daily work is not too much, you have to wait Here, this item is more difficult."

"So, I told the village chiefs during the previous meeting that people who do this job are not suitable for people with family concerns. You should think about it again."

I wish Jiangjiang would give them enough time to think about it.

As soon as the words fell, the young and honest man stood up immediately, "I wish the village chief, I can do it, and I am the only one in my family!"

He didn't know if he was too cheerful, or he had already seen it away. When he said that he was the only one in the house, he didn't see any sadness on his face.

Zhu Jiangjiang took a little look at him. To be honest, she had a good impression of him.

He was willing to apply for the job with all his belongings, which showed that he was very confident, or that he was willing to lower the requirements and get the job.

This can be regarded as a way of expressing hard work.

"Okay, you stay here."

Zhu Jiangjiang's interview is so simple and straightforward, no need to look at academic background, work experience, etc., as long as you have the strength and willingness to work.

As for whether she did a good job or not, that's another matter. If she didn't do a good job, she just resigned.

"Great!" The man blushed with excitement, "Major Zhu, I will do my best and I will not disappoint your expectations!"

Zhu Jiangjiang nodded, unfolded the pen and paper in his hand, and found a room to record their entry time and names.

It was only now that she realized that the first man who signed up was from Zhujia Village, and his name was Zhu Dashan.

She didn't remember the name.

"I'm in the village, and everyone doesn't want to talk to me, saying that I'm unlucky and killed everyone in the family, so I don't often stay in the village, but always stay in the back mountain."

Zhu Dashan explained to her carefully, for fear that Zhu Jiangjiang would regret his promise to keep him after hearing his experience.

But Zhu Jiangjiang didn't respond except for an "oh".

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss." Pei Ji came on horseback. Regardless of Zhu Jiangjiang's busy work, he snatched the pen from her hand and put the food box on the table in front of her. "Eat."

Seeing the paper in front of him turn into a food box, Zhu Jiangjiang froze for a moment, raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, but was stared back by Pei Ji's eyes.

Well, just eat it.

But there is one thing to say, this man has too much control, when will he go back to Jiangbei Prefecture!

Zhu Jiangjiang ate silently on the sidelines. After a few people outside had considered it, those who decided to stay came to register, and Pei Ji followed her previous format and did it for her.

His handwriting is not as good-looking as Zhu Jiangjiang's, but he wrote it carefully stroke by stroke.

He will take seriously what his wife wants to do.

When the two were picking candidates in the shrimp pond, several waves of applicants came one after another. This time was set by Zhu Jiangjiang before, so everyone came here on this day.

Among the people left behind, except Zhu Dashan, everyone else had to go back. They didn't bring anything when they came here today.

Moreover, they have to look at where they live before they know what to bring.

Zhu Dashan only brought his only clothes and shoes, not even someone to eat, let alone whether he could cook by himself.

"Well, if you don't think it's too far away, I'll take you to the school to cook and eat. If you don't cook, you can go there to eat." Zhu Jiangjiang gave him a trick.

There are bowls and chopsticks in his luggage, as long as he comes back from cooking, he can eat.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, as long as there is food, you can do anything!" Zhu Dashan dares to dislike anything, for him, it is good to have food.

When he was in the village, he ate wild vegetables dug from the mountains.

"Then come with me, and I'll take you there to get acquainted." Zhu Jiangjiang led him to the school together, and Pei Ji led the horse and followed behind, still holding the food box she had eaten.
