More hands make light work. While others were busy with measurement lines, Yan Fei had already made a round, taken out his specially made large hoe, and begun to dig.
He dug alone while several others followed behind, removing the dug-up dirt. Halfway around the perimeter of the foundation, Ma Yongming started gasping behind him: "I can't keep up. It's been awhile since I've done hard labor health myself. Follow you and work like this, I'm going to collapse. I better take it slow!"
With Yan Fei leading the charge, Ma Yongming had no other choice but to work as well. As two bosses got engaged in labor, the rest of the workers had to buckle up and work too. In the end, Yan Fei worked with such vigor that Ma Yongming and even the workers began gasping for air.
At this, Yan Fei laughed and said, "Take your time, we're not going to finish this work in a day, there's no need to rush."
