Chapter 499: outsider

  Chapter 499 The outsider who doesn't see outside

  After being surprised, Xu Mei put down the scimitar in her hand, stood up and greeted them.

  Having worked in the bamboo forest for half a day, my body was covered with a lot of mud, and my hair was messed up by the bamboo leaves and branches.

   But the woman didn't look cramped or nervous at all, with a smile on her face, she greeted them generously, "Why are you here?"

  Cao Zhibang replied with a smile, "Zhizhi said that you were digging bamboo shoots on the mountain. Anyway, you have nothing to do, so come up and have a look."

  Hearing this, Xu Mei told Su Zhi: "I know, you take Uncle Cao to the front and they go around."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Zhibang with an apologetic face, "Mr. Cao, I still have to peel the bamboo shoots. I don't have time to greet you. Let Zhizhi show you to the front."

  Looking at the fresh bamboo shoots piled up behind Xu Mei, Cao Zhibang asked in surprise, "You peel so many by yourself?"

   "Just peel off the old outer shell, and it will be done quickly."

   Cao Zhibang listened, rolled up his sleeves, "Let me help you."

  Hearing this, not only Xu Mei and Su Zhi were stunned, but even the accompanying assistant and driver looked at their boss in surprise.

   In the next second, the assistant and driver will not be surprised anymore.

   "You also help peel the bamboo shoots together."

   Driver and assistant: “…”

  Xu Mei wanted to stop her, but she couldn't stop her at all.

  Seeing that Cao Zhibang was about to reach for the bamboo shoots, Xu Mei quickly grabbed him, "You can't use your hands directly. The bamboo shoots have hairs on them and they will **** your hands."

  Cao Zhibang looked down and was held by Xu Mei.

   It may be because she has been doing things all the time, the woman's hands are very hot, even through a layer of velvet gloves, she can still feel the soft strength that belongs to women.

  Cao Zhibang's mood was still fluctuating, Xu Mei had already let go of him, and took out a pair of rubber gloves and a pair of wool gloves from the tool bag she carried.

   and taught him how to wear them, "Rubber gloves are worn inside, which can be waterproof and hair-proof, and wool gloves are worn outside, which can keep warm and prevent hands from being scratched by bamboo shoots."

  Cao Zhibang boasted with a smile: "This is the wisdom of the working people."

  Xu Mei laughed, "What is this?"

  Looking at the three of Cao Zhibang who were squatting in front of Xu Mei to help peel the shell, Su Zhi understood why the boss had to bring his assistant and driver with him when he went out.

   It turned out to be for dry labor.

  Cao Zhibang finished peeling off a shell, turned his head and saw Su Zhi standing aside in a daze, and said with a smile: "I know, it's cold on the mountain, you go home and play."

  Su Zhi: "..."

  You really don't see the outside world.

   Back in the yard, seeing that only Su Zhi came back, Lu Lin asked casually, "Uncle Cao and the others left?"

   "No, it's on the mountain."

"Oh."

  Lu Lin didn't think too much, thinking that Cao Zhibang was wandering on the mountain.

  People from the city rarely come to the countryside, and it is strange to see a nest of weeds, not to mention that there is a large bamboo forest and bamboo shoots all over the ground in Xiaoqingshan.

  If it weren't for her physical strength, Lu Lin would still want to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots.

  In the evening, Lu Lin happily returned home with the six bamboo shoots she dug and a bag of bamboo shoots prepared by Xu Mei.

  In winter, it gets dark early, just after 6 o'clock, and the sky gets dark. Xu Mei hasn't closed her work yet, and even Cao Zhibang hasn't come back yet.

  Su Zhi put on her water shoes and was about to go to the back mountain to have a look. Just as she went out, she saw Xu Mei leading Cao Zhibang and others back.

"mom."

   Seeing the water shoes on her feet, Xu Mei scolded softly: "Why run up the mountain when it's dark?"

   "I wanted you to call it a day and go home. If you can't finish digging today, just dig tomorrow."

  Cao Zhibang echoed, "That's the truth. Farm work is like work. It can't be finished. If you can't finish today, you can continue to do it tomorrow."
