Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

"I think it will take about ten minutes."

The people by the river were all waiting to see Jia Dongxu make a fool of himself, waiting to see him fall in.

When Jia Dongxu was with the wild ducks.

Wan Ping'an arrived at the tavern.

"Xueru, look who's here!"

Behind the bar counter, Xu Huirong and Chen Xueru were chatting. Chen Xueru was facing inwards, while Xu Huirong was facing the door, and they could see Wan Ping'an at a glance.

"Who?"

When Chen Xueru turned around, she saw Wan Ping'an. She was stunned for a moment, and her face turned slightly red.

"I caught you, didn't I?"

Xu Huirong smiled.

When the two sisters were talking about Wan Ping'an, Wan Ping'an stopped.

He didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the tavern, he would see an old acquaintance. Wasn't this He Daqing?

Why did he come to Zhengyangmen?

Then he saw a carrying pole, and then looked at He Daqing. He realized that it wasn't He Daqing, but Cai Quanwu from Zhengyangmen.

The two characters were played by the same person, both with a blank expression.

"Have it!"

"If I hire someone to watch over my six acres of land, I won't have to worry about anything happening."

“Cai Quanwu is a nobody with no formal job. If we hire him and he can have a stable income, he will definitely be willing to go.”

Wan Ping'an came up with a good idea.

"Wait, would you like to find a stable job?"

Wan Ping'an saw Cai Quanwu put down his things and was about to leave, so he quickly called him back.

"You want to hire me long-term?"

Cai Quanwu's eyes lit up.

A "wobo'er" is someone who moves things for others—furniture, dowries, anything that can be moved.

When there is work, we can eat and drink our fill.

When there's no work, it's normal to go hungry for two or three days.

Of course he wanted to find a stable job, but stable jobs were too difficult to find.

He spent money to buy a job, but he had no savings.

"Yes, you can look after the land for me, and I'll give you five yuan a month. How does that sound?"

"The work isn't tiring, but you can't leave without permission."

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Five yuan is neither a lot nor a little.

Cai Quanwu might not even earn five dollars a month, and even if he did, he would be exhausted. It's not as easy as watching.

Wan Ping'an hired him primarily to prevent man-made disasters.

He currently grows rice and tomatoes, but in the future he will definitely grow more varieties, such as watermelons, pumpkins, and possibly even fruit trees.

These are all things that make people envious.

If he doesn't have a reliable person to watch over him, he might be robbed of everything overnight, and then it will be too late to cry.

"Ping An, what do you do?"

"Why would you need to hire someone to look after the land?"

Xu Huirong and Chen Xueru came to Wan Ping'an's side.

Cai Quanwu seemed a little nervous.

He had a blank expression, was holding a carrying pole, and stood next to a handsome young man and two beautiful women, looking quite out of place!

Cai Quanwu was also very curious about what Wan Ping'an did.

What kind of land do you want to see?

"I'm just a farmer."

"Otherwise, why would I hire Cai Quanwu to look after the land?"

Wan Ping'an answered with a smile.

"Farmers?"

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Chen Xueru didn't believe it.

Throughout history, farming has never been a profitable business.

Even if it's necessary to look after the land and protect it, it's always family members who do it. If we hire someone to look after the land, the money we earn might not even cover the cost of hiring them.

"I am just a farmer, but what I earn is a bit special and of higher value."

"Cai Quanwu, five yuan a night, are you in or not?"

Wan Ping'an asked again.

"Go, of course!"

Cai Quanwu readily agreed.

You can make money easily and steadily, only a fool wouldn't go!

Watching the land is much easier than making money by moving things for others.

When working as porters, they often carry 100 to 200 pounds of goods on long journeys, and after a trip, they are often so exhausted that they can't walk another step.

"That `s a deal."

"I'll give you two dollars first, then the remaining two dollars in the middle of the month, and finally one dollar at the end of the month. How does that sound?"

Wan Ping'an had seen the young woman under the Zhengyang Gate.

Cai Quanwu is a trustworthy person who keeps his promises.

otherwise.

Wan Ping'an would never hire him.

Cai Quanwu nodded repeatedly.

Wan Ping'an gave him two yuan directly, arranged a time, and took him to the field.

"Ping An, are you really a farmer?"

"Or are you just a farmer?"

Do you have any other jobs?

Chen Xueru looked at Wan Ping'an.

Wan Ping'an had a very peculiar demeanor; he didn't seem like a farmer at all. Yet, every time Wan Ping'an came, he carried a steel fork on his shoulder.

The dirt on the fork was still fresh, indicating it had just been used.

"Right now, I'm just a farmer. As for the future, who can say for sure?"

"Mr. Xu, I'd like to buy some wine!"

Wan Ping'an answered Chen Xueru's question with a smile.

After buying the wine, Wan Ping'an turned and left the tavern.

he is gone.

Chen Xueru watched his departing figure without saying a word for a long time.

Xu Huirong smiled.

He reached out and waved his hand in front of Chen Xueru's eyes.

"Xue Ru, your eyes are practically glued to you, have you fallen for Ping An?"

"Would you like me to be your matchmaker?"

Xu Huirong joked with a smile.

Chen Xueru blushed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I just felt he was a bit strange. His demeanor was not like that of a farmer at all; he had more of a scholar's air about him."

Chen Xueru quickly changed the subject.
