Wind back to the farm

Chapter 9 Collusion

Li Xia was startled, squatted down, and nervously touched Shen Houren's forehead: "What's wrong with you? Overdrawn? Headache?"

Shen Houren turned over and lay flat, then put his right leg on his left leg, and said very bachelorly: "No, every time I finish a wave of work, I have to lie like this for a while and enjoy the work to the fullest. hapiness."

Li Xia didn't know whether to believe his words, and turned to look at Gong Bao.

Gong Bao said: "After I finish the work I like, I always sit by the side and enjoy it. I won't be like him, too... pretending, yes, pretending, the meaning of literary youth."

Li Xia was very helpless about Yi Jin, so he could only ask Shen Houren again: "Is it really all right?"

Shen Houren smiled and showed his big white teeth: "If it was in my own plantation, I would still let go of my voice and sing a song right now."

Li Xia ignored him, stood up and looked around.

Pointing to the dripping water drops on a sumac tree in front of him, he asked, "What's going on? Don't tell me it rained last night. I don't have dementia yet."

Gong Bao said: "This is dew. Alas, I didn't know it before. The dew in the Jiuzhou Mountains is so heavy. This is the benefit of having more forests. The higher humidity in the air is good for people's health."

Li Xia squinted at him for a moment, then pointed to a circle of hills and asked, "How did you do it?"

Gong Bao looked blankly: "What?"

Li Xia: "There are tens of thousands of saplings, of which more than 1000 are big trees with a diameter of about 35 centimeters. How did the two of you plant them in such a short period of time?"

For more than four hours, not to mention planting trees, it is impossible for most people to simply run over these hills.

Gong Bao looked at the boss with eyes more innocent than two dogs: "Old Shen is a senior agronomist, and I am a senior gardener!"

Li Xia: "So?"

Gong Bao stretched out his arms and included all the surrounding hills: "So, this is our job!"

Shen Houren's raised foot trembled: "Yes, boss, as the agronomists and gardeners you hired, we should plant the saplings you bought as soon as possible, isn't it right?"

Li Xia decisively turned around and left.

These two guys made up their minds to pretend to be crazy with him, and it was useless for him to ask again.

He inspected next to the mountain.

Twenty saplings in large cages sound like a lot. If they are placed in the northern plains of Huayuan Province and the eastern part of Huaxia Country, they will be enough to complete the greening of a small city.

But this is a hilly area close to the main mountain range of the Jiuzhou Mountains. The site of any village can catch up with half a township in other places, and the coverage rate of urban greening is not the same as the requirements of mountains and forests, so the [-] cars The saplings were used up, and more than half of the hills had no wheels.

Li Xia wants to see how many saplings are needed below.

But he didn't finish turning around a hill when the phone rang.

Auntie sounded a little anxious: "Flower fan, did you forget that today is your birthday, have you had breakfast yet?"

Li Xia said: "Not yet, Auntie, I'll go back right away and tell you something first, about the twenty carts of saplings last night, you and uncle don't talk to others for the time being."

"Understood." My aunt agreed without asking why, "It's your birthday today, you can't skip a meal, or you won't be full this year, come back soon, I'll make you whatever you want."

"Pancakes with wild vegetables, glutinous rice porridge, dried celery and tofu, wild mushroom stew, I'll be back within an hour, auntie, take your time."

Li Xia put down the phone and turned to see the contented Gong Bao.

"Uh..." At first, I was not used to being a boss, so I actually forgot about the employees during the meal. Li Xia turned on his phone again and sent a WeChat message: Auntie, please add more meals for two people.

After sending out, he said to Gong Bao: "Let's go, talk to Shen Houren about something."

The two of them waded through the water and went back to find Shen Houren.

Shen Houren fell asleep, he was lying on his side, his tall and strong body curled up into a ball at the moment, like an insecure child.

Li Xia felt guilty for a while, why did he believe in Shen Houren's nonsense, he was not enjoying the happiness brought by labor, he was simply overdrawn, he didn't even have the strength to stand.

If his guess is correct, before he found these two people just now, Shen Houren should have been lying down. He braced himself up after hearing his shout, and made a look of vitality.

Li Xia walked over, squatted beside Shen Houren, and called Gong Bao: "Come here, help him on my back."

Gong Bao's face was wrinkled: "Boss, you are so thin and he is so strong, you..."

Li Xia went to help Shen Houren by himself.

But as soon as his hand touched Shen Houren's arm, Shen Houren opened his eyes, and his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to swallow him alive.

"It's me, your boss." When Li Xia withdrew his hand, he was already two meters away, but the words in his mouth were very gentle.

"Boss, have you finished the inspection?" Shen Houren turned into a well-behaved, sensible and good employee in seconds, and asked him happily, with a clear expression of "seeking praise and reward", and the fierce look in his eyes seemed to be Li Xia's illusion.

Li Xia sat down on the spot and squinted at the mountains in the distance: "It's too far away. It's my birthday today. My aunt called and told me to go back for dinner."

Shen Houren was both excited and frustrated: "Boss, is it your birthday? Why didn't you say it earlier, I didn't even prepare a gift, it's too rude."

Li Xia beckoned Gong Bao to sit down as well, and said, "It's not too late now, just give me two baskets of your fruit as a gift, I like to eat fruit."

Shen Houren was overjoyed: "All are given to you, boss. Happy birthday, boss! I will take care of your fruits from now on."

Li Xia said, "Thank you! I won't eat it if it tastes bad."

Then he turned to Gongbao: "Where's your gift?"

Gong Bao was dejected, his eyes staring at the ground and drawing circles.

Li Xia laughed: "I'm just playing with you. My hair is almost graying because of buying saplings and planting. You guys solved such a big problem for me. It's better than any gift. Thank you both!"

Gong Bao blushed a little: "This was originally our job."

Shen Houren also wanted to speak, but Li Xia's sudden movement of lying down surprised him, so he didn't say anything.

Li Xia put his hands on his pillow, raised his legs, and said with a satisfied face: "It's my 28th birthday; the biggest problem I encountered in my life was easily solved by a capable employee. Tell me, is this a double happiness for me?"

Shen Houren agreed: "Yes, double happiness."

Gong Bao smiled silly.

Li Xia took a deep breath of cool air and whistled softly.

It is a "Lullaby" adapted from a folk song. The song is not long, and the tune is gentle and soft. Li Xia slowed down the rhythm and finished it in less than 3 minutes. It can't be compared with "Dance of Spring" last night. The song lasted more than ten minutes , Li Xia repeatedly blew it several times until he fell asleep.

Now, after he finished playing, Shen Houren fell asleep.

Gong Bao was very excited, but at the same time very sorry, he said in a low voice, "Boss, boss, you played for so long last night, you can't play any more, I, we..."

Li Xia sat up, took off his jacket and handed it to Gongbao: "Cover him, you can let him sleep more, and I will ask Shanxia and Chuxia to bring you food later."

Gong Bao sat down beside Shen Houren: "Boss, Lao Shen and I are not hungry, you go back and have a rest after eating."

Li Xia got up and ran down the mountain with the two dogs.

It was just nine o'clock, before business hours, and there were no customers in the snack bar.

Uncle and aunt did not follow the menu reported by Li Xia, and added longevity noodles and four dishes for Li Xia to eat. Uncle and aunt sat across from him and asked him about his situation with concern.

Li Xia had already considered it on the road just now, it's okay to keep this matter from grandma and grandpa temporarily, but it's unrealistic to keep it from uncle and aunt.

The farm is just outside the gate of the village. They must go and have a look. Maybe the two of them will go there after the lunch rush. up.

But if uncles and aunts don’t go to the farm, the people of Dajiling, because the village itself is a beautiful forest, is even better than the scenery on the mountain. Now that the weather is cold, almost no one will go to the mountain, and the probability of finding abnormalities on the mountain is very small.

and so……

Li Xia said: "Uncle and aunt, something unexpected happened in the farm. Don't panic. It's not a bad thing. It's just that it's inconvenient for outsiders to know. Xiao Shen, Gong Bao, I, and I are trying to cover it up, in order to let the villagers as much as possible. People ignore the existence of the farm, so don't go to the farm for now, okay?"

Uncle and aunt looked at each other, apparently frightened.

Li Xia smiled and said: "It's really not a bad thing, it's even a great thing for me, but if others find out, it will be difficult for me to explain."

Li Xia's relaxed attitude reassured his uncle and aunt a little.

Perhaps due to the influence of grandma, uncle and aunt have unlimited trust in Li Xia for no reason.

The uncle nodded and said, "As long as we treat you well, we don't have to go for the rest of our lives."

Li Xia said: "It's not that serious, just don't go within the next week."

My aunt was curious: "What's the matter? It wasn't someone who saw you running the farm and thought you were rich. They bothered you last night. Did you hurt someone?"

Li Xia said: "No, it's..., it's..., it's the twenty carts of saplings, all of which have been planted."

"Ah!?" Uncle and aunt's eyes widened at the same time.

"There are more than 1000 trees similar to our Chinese tallow tree, and more than 3 saplings like that." Li Xia glanced at a begonia outside the window, which was planted by his aunt three years ago, and it was more beautiful than Yunxia when it bloomed. After more than an hour, not only was it unloaded, but it was all planted, uncle and aunt, what would you think if you saw it?"

"Bang bang... bang." My aunt hurriedly went to close the door, getting up too quickly and knocking over the chair.

The uncle looked out the window vigilantly, and found that there was no one around, so he said under his breath, "What do you think? I must think that you, or your two employees, are monsters."

When my aunt came back, she slapped her uncle vigorously: "Keep your voice down."

Li Xia said: "So, no one is allowed to enter the farm recently."

After the initial panic, the uncle seemed to have regained his usual rationality: "Hua Mi, you are teasing your aunt and us, right? Xiao Shen and Gong Bao look like normal people."

Li Xia said with a smile: "What the eyes see may not be the truth, besides, maybe I am the one who has the magic tricks."

My aunt looked at Li Xia anxiously: "You are still laughing! You are the boss, if someone finds out, they must first take you to some underground laboratory to slice."

Li Xia smiled even more happily: "Seeing that you and uncle are in such a hurry, I know that no one will go up the mountain."

My aunt clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed: "God, you are a good person, hurry up and let it rain, or snow, so that the villagers will not go up the mountain, and the secrets of our flower fans will not be exposed, wait This matter has passed safely, Qingming and I will cook eighteen dishes to thank you."

Uncle said: "Eighteen Taos are too few."

My aunt said: "Then add a big hot pot, wash all our best dishes and serve there, and let God cook and eat as he pleases."

Li Xia couldn't help laughing out loud: "Auntie's idea is good."

"You!" Seeing that Li Xia was not nervous at all, the aunt poked him hard on the head.

After Li Xia finished eating, he chatted with his uncle and aunt for a while, telling them not to be too nervous, and then took the two bags they packed, and went back to No. 39 with Gouzi.

He wanted to come back to get a blanket for Shen Houren, but found that Gong Bao and Shen Houren had already returned.

Shen Houren leaned against the quilt, closed his eyes and rested his mind; Gong Bao was busy with the computer at the desk, when he heard Li Xia coming back, Shen Houren opened his eyes: "Boss, I smell the smell of braised pork."

Gong Bao sniffed: "I smell hot and sour cabbage."

Li Xia put the bag on the table and asked Shen Houren: "Does your head still hurt?"

Shen Houren threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed: "I don't have a headache, I'm reminiscing about your whistle, it's so good to hear."

Gong Bao said dissatisfiedly, "How do you describe that?"

Shen Houren had already opened the fresh-keeping box containing the braised pork, grabbed the chopsticks and said, "It's too good to describe."

Li Xia saw that Shen Houren's expression was similar to usual, and the worry in his heart was less, he sat by the bed and waited for the two of them to arrange things, he said: "I have something to say, you two listen.

The efficiency of the work of the two of you is generally beyond the reach of human beings. In order to prevent you from being sliced ​​and to save me from trouble, we must be very careful in the future. "

The two employees nodded their heads.

Li Xia went on to say: "The few hills where the trees were planted last night are far away from the village. Now the village is basically full of old people and children. The weather is cold recently, and they usually don't go so far to play. What happened last night, as long as If you can not be found in the past four or five days, it will be easy to say in the future.

The distance is far, and we have an agreement with the planting companies that they are not allowed to disturb the lives of the villagers; the management of the two planting companies is very strict, and the quality of the employees is very high. They work in three shifts around the clock and never go out of the farm. Go back to the city directly after the end, so the villagers didn't find them.

Do you understand me? "

Shen Houren raised his hand: "Understood, Lao Gong and I have to avoid meeting people from Dajiling these days, and when we meet again in five days, we can say that we have been with people from the tree planting company day and night these days plant trees.

When they were surprised that we had planted so many trees without anyone noticing, Lao Gong and I were even more surprised: What, so many of us are busy working on the mountain, and you don’t know it? "

Shen Houren's eyes widened in astonishment, as if the whole village of Dajiling stood in front of him.

Li Xia: "I understand the spirit very well, but the expression is a little exaggerated."

Shen Houren stuffed a piece of meat: "I'll change it."

Li Xia looked at Gongbao again.

Gong Bao was serious: "I will cooperate tacitly with Lao Shen to ensure that no one will find out what happened last night."

Li Xia nodded and looked out the window.

The sun filled the courtyard, the breeze blew, and the rustling trees looked like a painting. He sighed: "If it rains, we don't have to worry about it, but the villagers can't enjoy such a beautiful scenery." .”

"Ah?" Gong Bao was puzzled, "Boss, what do you mean?"

Li Xia simply told the story of his conversation with his uncle and aunt in the snack bar.

Shen Houren looked at Gong Bao after listening: "Auntie's idea is very good, and the boss's consideration is also reasonable. The elderly and children can exercise more outdoors to keep healthy."

Gong Bao picked up the last piece of a large serving of hot and sour cabbage and nodded: "Yes, more exposure to the sun and more wind will keep you healthy."

Li Xia was still a little worried about Shen Houren, he said: "The two of you don't need to go to the farm these few days, just rest after eating, call my uncle and aunt in advance if you are hungry, they will find a way to deliver food for you, I will go home for a while Come on, come back tomorrow."

The two employees stood up, and Shen Houren said: "Boss, go away, we are doing it, you are worrying, worrying is much harder than doing it, you go back and sleep."

Gong Bao said: "That's right, you played such a long piece last night, and you played another one just now, you must be tired.

But boss, these two whistles of yours can support us for one year, no, three years of overtime pay, and we will work overtime in the future, so you don’t have to whistle for us, and you will blow it after three years. "

Li Xia waved his hands at the two of them: "Okay, then I'm leaving."

Shen Houren ran out quickly, took out two straw baskets from the kitchen, and helped Li Xia tie them on Wu Ya's back seat.

Li Xia was indeed a bit tired, so when he got home, he gave the fruit to his grandma, and he immediately went into the cave dwelling where he lived and lay down.

There are many things that need to be solved in the farm, and the two employees made such a horrible move. He looked at the big tree with whirling branches and leaves outside the window, trying to figure it out, but before he could figure out what to start with, sleepiness It swallowed him like a tide.
