Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Shen Ping'an's father: "I'll go."

Upon hearing this, the family was completely stunned. "You're going? How are you going to go?"

Shen Ping'an's father: "After we finish eating, have Ping'an take me to the field. I'll sit at the edge of the field and scare any birds that come near. Ping'an will come back to pick me up after he's finished with his work."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen and Sister Lan's eyes shone with barely suppressed joy.

Since Shen Liang injured his health, he hadn't gone out and had been staying at home. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to suggest going out.

After a brief moment of joy, Aunt Lan began to worry, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Shen Liang: "It's feasible."

"I'm just sitting there scaring people, I'm not doing anything."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen also chimed in, "If he wants to go, let him go!"

"Since I'm just idling at home anyway, it's good to go out and relax."

Sister Lan was relieved after hearing this.

Upon hearing that he could help, Shen Ping'an became excited.

"Father, Mother, you eat first, I'm going out for a bit."

Seeing his hurried manner, Sister Lan couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

Shen Ping'an: "Go find Hu Zi."

Tiger was about the same age as him, but unlike him, Tiger was an orphan with no parents.

He grew up relying on the kindness of many families for food. He went to visit his aunt a few days ago and only returned yesterday.

As soon as Lan's sister-in-law heard this, she knew what he was up to and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "If you want to find someone, you have to ask your aunt first."

Shen Ping'an: "I understand." Then he disappeared.

When Xu Qinghe returned home after finding the person, Shen Ping'an also arrived.

As soon as they reached the door, they started calling out, "Auntie!"

Xu Qinghe immediately recognized Shen Ping'an's voice and replied loudly, "The door isn't closed, just come in."

After listening, Shen Ping'an pushed open the door and came in. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Qinghe drying grains.

"Auntie, my mother has agreed to let me go."

Xu Qinghe's face lit up with joy, "Really? Then let's go in a bit."

Shen Ping'an, somewhat nervously, continued, "Auntie, do you still need people?"

Xu Qinghe could tell at a glance that something was wrong, and without thinking, she said, "I need it!"

Shen Ping'an's eyes lit up. "Can I call someone else?"

Xu Qinghe: "Okay, then you'd better hurry."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an ran outside without saying a word and quickly found Hu Zi in the dilapidated house at the far west end.

"Tiger, hurry up, I've found you a good job."

Soon, a burly young man emerged from the house. "What kind of good work is it?"

Shen Ping'an: "Cut rice for my aunt."

"Thirty coins a day, are you in or not?"

As soon as he heard this, Tiger got anxious. "Go! Why don't you go?"

"If I don't earn some money, I'll starve to death."

Shen Ping'an: "Then hurry up, my aunt is anxious."

"I have to go home to see my dad off, so I won't be with you."

"After you're done packing, go straight to my aunt's place. She lives at the far east end, and her house is the most impressive one there." With that, she ran off without looking back.

Tiger frowned upon seeing this, but still went to Xu Qinghe's house as soon as he finished tidying up.

When they arrived, Xu Qinghe's house was already occupied by two men and two women.

Seeing Hu Zi approach, she was a little surprised. "What brings you here?"

"Didn't you go live with your aunt?"

Tiger: "I came back because I couldn't get used to living here."

As they spoke, Xu Qinghe had finished tidying up and came out of the house. While locking the door, she asked Hu Zi, "You were introduced by Ping An, right?"

Tiger: "Mm."

Xu Qinghe: "Then you can come with us later."

Did you bring your tools?

Tiger looked at the scissors in everyone's hands, and said somewhat hesitantly, "I didn't bring any."

Xu Qinghe: "There are some at the entrance, go and get one."

As they were talking, Shen Ping'an came running over, panting. Once everyone had arrived, Xu Qinghe called them to go to the field.

Seeing Xu Qinghe pushing two children in a stroller, Shen Ping'an squeezed through without a word and said casually, "Auntie, let me help."

Xu Qinghe turned to look at him and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity, so she did not refuse.

Then he handed the handlebars to Shen Ping'an. Since he was quite familiar with Shen Ping'an, the two of them talked as they walked towards the field.

Once we got to the field, we started assigning people to work. It has to be said that having more people means having more power.

The group walked side by side, and in one trip they had harvested six acres of land.

Because they only had one small cart, they had to cut the fruit and deliver it home at the same time.

Xu Qinghe originally planned to go back and deliver it herself, but as a woman, she would be exhausted after just a few trips if she had to make the round trips.

After hesitating for a while, she still handed the task over to Shen Ping'an, whom she trusted the most.

Shen Ping'an lived up to expectations, pushing the cart back and forth without delaying the process at all.

Even so, the six of them worked until it was completely dark before they finished collecting the goods.

After they finished harvesting, they didn't collect the stalks along with the grain; they only collected the grain itself.

It will be easier to collect the straw when it's a little drier.

After collecting the money from Xu Qinghe, he took them home and started paying them their wages.

Because they only worked for an afternoon, each person only received fifteen copper coins.

Even so, everyone was very happy. After saying goodbye to Xu Qinghe, they left in a leisurely manner.

Only Shen Ping'an was still helping to dry the grain, with Hu Zi assisting him from the side.

Xu Qinghe was deeply moved. "Ping An, stop doing this."

"Go home and rest first."

Shen Ping'an stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled憨厚ly, saying, "It's alright, Auntie, I'm not tired."

Xu Qinghe: "Look how wet your clothes are, and you still say you're not tired."

"I forgot to ask, what's this young man's name?"

This young man was the most efficient worker just now. If it weren't for his fast work speed and high loading efficiency, we probably wouldn't have finished these two acres of land until 9 PM.

Shen Ping'an: "His name is Hu Zi."

"They don't own any land. If you need help, you can contact him anytime." As he said this, Shen Ping'an gave Hu Zi a wink.

Tiger immediately chimed in, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe could barely contain her smile.

Everyone is about to start scrambling for food, and it will be difficult to find people later.

Besides, their family only has this much land, so it wouldn't be cost-effective to hire so many people every time.

Xu Qinghe originally planned to do it herself slowly, but after hearing Shen Ping'an's words, she immediately had an idea.

"In that case, how about your aunt hires you as a long-term laborer?"

Tiger frowned. "A farmhand?"

Xu Qinghe immediately realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, saying, "I'm not a long-term worker, I just come to your house every day to help with the grain harvest."

"You've seen our situation; it's just the three of us, my mother and me, and we're simply too busy to manage everything."

"If you're willing to help me, I can even treat you to a meal."
