The next afternoon, Qin Xi finally set off for Shangwan Village.
In Shangwan Village, on Shangwan Mountain.
Han Shi looked at the village entrance in a daze. After a long while, the “lamp man”, Jiu Yuan, floated over like a ghost.
Seeing his lovesick look, Jiu Yuan rolled his eyes. “Your wife will be back soon. What’s the point of standing here like a tree?”
Han Shi glanced at him coldly and ignored him. He turned around and continued to supervise the villagers.
At this moment, more than 200 villagers were gathered on the mountain. This was because they had been informed on the loudspeaker that as long as they dug 10 pits at the designated location, they would be paid 8 yuan. It did not sound like a lot, but if the entire family came to dig, they could earn at least 16 yuan as a family, which was quite a considerable amount of income at that time.
Therefore, these villagers rushed over.
After Han Shi screened the villagers, only the strong men and women were kept. Of course, there were not only the villagers of Shangwan Village, but also Pingluo Village and Zaohua Village nearby. Because of the geographical restrictions of the other two villages, not many people came.
But these people were enough.
This was the third day. A family of three had worked together and dug 20 tree pits. After Han Shi checked the pits, he took out 16 yuan and handed it to the family of three.
When the villagers saw the money, they became more excited and motivated to work harder.
“Hey, Stone, I heard that your wife is going to plant fruit trees here. Is that true?”
Some villagers asked as they dug. Due to the hot weather, some of the men were shirtless and had a wet towel around their necks.
Fortunately, the temperature on the mountain was not particularly high. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow past. Moreover, the mountain was not completely bare. There were also large trees to shield them from the sun. However, when they worked, they were still drenched in sweat.
Han Shi nodded. “Yes!”
“Hey, Stone, you’re much better now. You’re like a normal person. You really became different after getting married.”
A young man the same age as Stone winked at him and smiled mysteriously. “Tell me honestly. Did you get disciplined by your wife a lot?”
“Don’t be shy. I’ve been through it. You know very well what a badass I was in the past. But ever since I got married, I haven’t been messing around and staying at home most of the time hugging my fragrant wife. Married life is ten times better than a bachelor life. What’s more, I feel more energetic when I work. Do you feel the same way?”
“Hey, tell me, does your wife treat you well? Does she let you…”
Han Shi was red all over his face.
He cleared his throat to his embarrassment and tried to act like a fool. He straightened his neck and said, “Of course. Xi is my wife. Of course we sleep together.”
He blinked and looked at the young man, asking inquisitively, “Brother Jun, does your wife also let you sleep with her and make babies with you?”
“Hahahahaha…”
The young man’s name was Yang Jun, and he was as old as Han Shi. When Han Shi was young, the kids in the village bullied him a lot. Only Yang Jun did not bully him. In order to protect Han Shi, he even fell out with several of his childhood friends.
Hearing Han Shi’s words, he laughed out loud and asked in a low voice, “Stone, have you and your wife… done it?”
Han Shi pretended to not understand. “What?”
“That thing…”
Yang Jun’s expression was troubled. He did not know how to describe it. He scratched his head and then pointed his thumbs at each other, hinting that he was asking if they had kissed.
Han Shi chuckled and subconsciously touched his handsome face. He felt that the place where Qin Xi had kissed him was still a little hot!
