My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 351 - 3 Foreign Guests

It was the most comfortable climate of spring, yet Zhi Xin Garden bustled with activity.

One by one, fruit trees were planted by the employees in the orchard, followed by a group of children helping to water them.

A month ago, nine apartment buildings had already been completed, and Zhi Xin Garden’s employees had gradually moved in. Lin Xiaoguai had originally planned to renovate two apartment buildings designated for employee dormitories before letting them move in, but then she thought, people nowadays didn’t really have a concept of renovation, and if they did, it often only involved painting and using tiles mostly in the bathrooms. If she renovated the apartments with a futuristic concept for the employees to live in...

It would be too much.

As the saying goes, a spoonful of rice can invite gratitude, a bucket can breed rancor. She had no intention of being an oppressive boss, but giving too much to the employees and having them take it for granted was not what she wanted either.

Therefore, she decided to simply let them live in the rough-finished apartments. After all, even in the future, she had never seen employee apartments fully furnished by the employer.

However, in the future, once they all had a better understanding and cohesiveness, and the employees felt a sense of belonging to Zhi Xin Garden, she didn’t plan to keep her renovation designs a secret. If possible, she wouldn’t mind selling them the more practical and beautiful renovation materials from the exchange store at a relatively low price.

Even so, these military family employees who came from various places were very satisfied with the environment of the employee dormitories and were deeply grateful to their boss, Lin Xiaoguai.

Although to avoid drawing attention, the apartment buildings had not been fitted with elevators, which inconvenienced those living on higher floors, no one complained. For these hardworking people, being able to live in such nice houses was already a blessing, and the extra steps were nothing to fuss over.

Zhi Xin Garden had over six hundred employees for a large farm near three thousand acres, which was undoubtedly insufficient, and one could imagine how busy the employees were on a daily basis. At the time, there were only so many military family members who met their hiring criteria. With no choice, Lin Xiaoguai had to increase the salary range from the originally intended 200-500 per month to 300-600 per month, plus full attendance bonus, encouragement bonus, saving bonus, achievement award, and suggestion bonus—five types of bonuses. An employee could earn more in a year than those in state-owned enterprises did, not to mention the generous benefits within the farm.

Originally, Lin Xiaoguai thought this situation was temporary. Once new employees joined, the wages were inevitably going to decrease.

However, when the employees learned about her plans to maintain their original salary, they worked harder and the results were significant. Lin Xiaoguai saw their intentions and, noticing that they could handle the increased workload without issue, she also set aside the idea of hiring more employees. However, she did not verbally express this decision. Wouldn’t it maintain a higher work enthusiasm among the employees?

Out of the six hundred employees, most had brought their children, and now there were nearly five hundred kids at the farm. However, since their paperwork for attending school hadn’t yet been arranged, they couldn’t go to school and stayed to help around the farm instead.

Not to say they were a great help, but they certainly added a lively atmosphere to the farm.

"Boss, where should we plant those grapevines?" asked a female employee in her early twenties.

—It should be noted that the farm’s workforce primarily consisted of military wives. It was rare for other family relations like siblings or parents to be assigned there, but fortunately, the women of the countryside were just as good at farm work as men, which didn’t hinder the farm’s operation.

"Plant them over there, keep the kids away, especially the little ones. They don’t know their strength and might trample the newly planted vines."

"Little Spring Breeze, look what you’ve done!" Lin Xiaoguai hadn’t finished speaking when a scream came from nearby.

Looking up, Lin Xiaoguai saw Han Xinyu with hands on her hips, furiously saying, "I’ve told you not to touch things recklessly, yet you still messed with them, and now you’ve crushed all these little shrimp!"

Lin Xiaoguai approached and saw Little Spring Breeze squatting on the ground, holding a handful of shrimp fry, most of which had already been crushed, the survivors struggling faintly.

These shrimp fry were intended to be placed in the pond later.

"Big sister?" Little Spring Breeze looked innocent, not understanding Han Xinyu’s words.

Lin Xiaoguai sighed, bent down to clean up the dead shrimp fry from the child’s hands, washed his hands, then dried them, and turned to Han Xinyu and asked, "Nuonuo, why are you and Little Spring Breeze here? Where’s Mrs. Yu?"
