257: Chapter 257: Making a Way 257: Chapter 257: Making a Way Lying on the bed, Chen Yang listlessly pulled out his phone to check it.
He discovered that there had been over ten missed calls today.
And they were all from Yang Caiyun.
“It must be about the wild mushrooms.”
Chen Yang thought to himself and then decisively redialed.
Yang Caiyun answered the phone imdiately,
and right after the call connected, her first question was about how things were on Chen Yang’s end.
This ward Chen Yang’s heart a bit.
Because she didn’t ask about the wild mushrooms first, but was concerned about him.
“There aren’t any issues on my end, just that there’s been a landslide on the highway.
Until it’s cleared, I’m afraid I won’t be able to supply you with wild mushrooms or ga.”
Chen Yang said in a normal tone.
“As long as you’re okay.
Today, when Little Wang drove to your place, he said he saw the landslide halfway there, and it scared to death, afraid that sothing might have happened to you.”
Yang Caiyun spoke with a tone slightly shaken.
Chen Yang chuckled, “Sis, you care about my safety that much, huh?”
“Of course.
If sothing happened to you, who would I fulfill my promise to?”
Yang Caiyun suddenly shifted her tone, becoming sowhat coquettish.
True to form for a mature woman of her age.
This sudden change in style imdiately stirred up the flas in Chen Yang’s heart.
“Haha, you’re right, I’m also waiting for you to fulfill your promise.”
Chen Yang chuckled, then decided not to continue chatting aimlessly with Yang Caiyun.
Speaking more over the screen would only make them feel worse, so there was no need.
“Sis, you’ll have to handle the wild mushroom situation yourself for the next few days.
The road is blocked right now and there’s no way to supply you.
I’ll notify you once the road is clear.”
Chen Yang said.
“Okay, I’ll wait for your news.”
Yang Caiyun replied and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Chen Yang imdiately turned off his phone and placed it under his pillow.
“Got a busy day tomorrow!
Better sleep early.”
Then he cleared his mind and quickly fell asleep.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Early the next morning, Chen Yang and the three won got up.
After having a simple breakfast at ho, Chen Yang imdiately grabbed a hoe and took the three won to the head of the village.
Even though it was only a little after seven o’clock.
But the head of the village was already crowded with people.
All of them were aunties from Liuhe Village and so elderly uncles.
Most of the villagers in Liuhe Village were widows.
So, with such an incident, the widows also had to stand up and take charge.
“Yang Zi, the village chief, you’re here!
Everyone is gathered, we’re just waiting for your commands.”
Seeing Chen Yang and Wu Kexin arriving, Wang Hong imdiately stepped forward cheerfully to speak.
Seeing the villagers united in their resolve, Wu Kexin was very pleased.
“Since everyone is here, let’s set out right away!
Let’s strive to clear the road as soon as possible.”
Wu Kexin said excitedly.
“Alright!
Let’s go everybody.”
“Let’s go, let’s clear the road.”
…
The villagers, high in spirit, raised their tools and set out.
Under the leadership of Chen Yang and Wu Kexin, dozens to hundreds of people marched along the highway.
On the way, they also encountered teams from other villages going to clear the road.
Each team was led by their respective village chiefs.
Upon eting, the teams naturally rged together.
Although they might not always get along well, now that they all had a common goal, they got along quite pleasantly.
Laughing and talking, they arrived at the site of the landslide.
Seeing the scattered rocks and the massive mounds of fallen earth, the villagers were very motivated.
Without needing any prompting from Chen Yang or Wu Kexin, they imdiately raised their hoes and started working.
“Folks, let’s work hard!
The sooner we open the road, the sooner we can receive help!”
There was even soone who passionately stood on a rock and started to boost morale.
“Good!
Let’s all work hard together!”
…
The scene was buzzing with activity, everyone working fervently.
Seeing such a scene, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han couldn’t hold back, and grabbed hoes to start digging the soil.
Everyone was highly spirited in their work, and Chen Yang and Wu Kexin naturally wouldn’t idle either.
They walked around occasionally, reminding everyone to be careful, and also picked up hoes from ti to ti to help.
No one was idle.
Those who were digging did their digging, those who were hauling did their hauling, and the physically stronger ones were responsible for moving the rocks on the road.
The division of labor on-site was clear, and everyone tried their best.
This went on until it was nearly noon when, behind on the road, suddenly ten to twenty more figures appeared, carrying hoes and heading their way.
Chen Yang glanced over there, “The nearby villages have all co.
Who’s coming now?”
Standing beside him, Wu Kexin heard Chen Yang’s voice, and imdiately straightened up, looking back.
But she couldn’t see clearly either.
“I don’t know.”
Wu Kexin shook her head, then the two of them stood leaning on their hoes, watching that group for a while.
As those people approached closer, Chen Yang also recognized their faces.
“Heipi!”
Chen Yang was sowhat surprised.
The ten to twenty individuals were none other than Heipi and his group of underlings.
“It really is Heipi; I didn’t expect them to co too.”
Wu Kexin was also very surprised.
“Chen Yang!”
Before long, Heipi approached and greeted Chen Yang warmly.
Chen Yang returned the greeting and couldn’t help but ask:
“Heipi, how co you guys are here?”
Heipi looked at Chen Yang with so displeasure, “Chen Yang, that’s not right of you to say!
I’m also from these mountains.
You are all busy here, how could I not co to help?”
“Exactly!
Brother Yang, you’re being a bit unfair here.”
“Brother Yang, that was not right to say.
You should penalize yourself with three drinks at lunch.”
…
Heipi’s underlings were all joking and laughing.
Chen Yang also couldn’t help but laugh.
The atmosphere on the scene was very relaxed.
“Alright, alright, I spoke wrong there.
I’ll penalize myself with three drinks at lunch,” Chen Yang said with a smile, nodding his head.
After a few exchanges, the new group imdiately joined the workforce.
Heipi brought with him many stout n, so upon their arrival, they voluntarily took on the responsibility of moving the large rocks on the road.
With their addition, the team moving the large rocks suddenly found it a lot easier.
Seeing Heipi and his team with such initiatives filled Chen Yang with joy.
These people all held him in high regard.
After Heipi joined, Chen Yang continued to work on the site for a while until it was past eleven o’clock, when he and Wu Kexin stopped.
After talking briefly with the other village leaders in charge, they left.
Chen Yang wasn’t slacking; it was almost noon, and he needed to go back and organize the al preparation, then bring it here.
Everyone had been busy all morning; it wouldn’t do to let them work on an empty stomach.
After leaving the landslide site, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin quickly went back to Liuhe Village.
Upon returning to the village, Chen Yang imdiately organized the older aunties in the village to start cooking.
“Auntie Zhang, please take a few aunties with to the farm; everyone has worked hard and needs good food to keep up their strength.”
Chen Yang said.
“Sure, I’ll call them right away,” Auntie Zhang said without any hesitation and turned to find the others.
Then, within a few minutes, she brought back five or six elderly aunties.
“Yang Zi, do you think this is enough help?”
Auntie Zhang asked.
Chen Yang eyed the aunties and then nodded, “That’s enough.”
He imdiately led the aunties to his rabbit farm, where they caught more than ten wild rabbits.
