Chapter 636: His Marriage Matters

"Manager, there are two young people from Changping Village in Wanghai County who want to visit you, Master of the Manor."

The old man stood on the bank and shouted to the owner of the village in the river.

The owner of Zuo Village looked towards the old man and saw two strangers, a man and a woman, beside him.

He said to Luo Fengtang, "Please wait a moment and let me finish the work at hand."

Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "It's okay. Master, please go ahead."

The owner of Zuo Village nodded, then withdrew his gaze, and then observed the process of the windmill absorbing water.

From beginning to end, he never glanced at Yang Ruoqing and completely ignored her.

The corner of Yang Ruoqing's mouth twitched slightly.

My sister is such a big living person, but she was ignored

Haha, maybe Master Zuo only thought that she was Luo Fengtang's follower and came over to see something new.

No problem, no problem.

Beside, Yang Ruoqing heard the old man chatting with the father and son.

The old man asked, "I heard from the villagers that the owner of Zuo Village is thinking about something that can draw water to irrigate the farmland. Is it this big rotating spinning wheel?"

Another old man said, "This is not called a spinning wheel. Master Zuo said, this is called a bobbin wheel."

"Yeah, barrel cart"

"Yes, look at it. There are bamboo tubes tied there. Use the bamboo tubes to draw water and then bring it to our field."

"This is a good idea. It will save you the trouble of carrying buckets one by one. If you put the truck in the river at night, we can go home and sleep peacefully."

"Yes, yes, Master Zuo is really ingenious and came up with such a good idea."

"Thanks to the owner of the village, we in Zuojiazhuang will not have to worry about drought in the future."

""

There was endless praise from the shore.

It was continuously transmitted to Yang Ruoqing's ears.

She is good at discerning what is true admiration and what is false compliment.

At this time, these villagers sincerely praised Master Zuo.

Her gaze returned to the river.

He was so praised by the villagers, but he seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Still immersed in his world.

From this side of the trolley, go around to the other side.

With the tool in his hand, he lightly tapped the bracket of the cart from time to time.

Different from the joy and excitement of the villagers, he sometimes frowned slightly, announcing that he seemed a little dissatisfied with his work.

Haha, this owner of Zuo Village is conscientious and a person who pursues perfection.

she thought to herself.

After waiting on the shore for a long time, and with repeated urging from the villagers, Master Zuo finally stepped ashore.

The middle-aged man quickly took off the handkerchief he had put on his shoulder to wipe his sweat.

"Master, please wipe your feet before putting on your shoes," the middle-aged man said respectfully.

The owner of Zuo Village smiled and shook his head, "I don't have those particularities."

He casually rubbed his wet feet into the grass on the shore a few times.

His eyes were still looking at the slowly rotating trolley over there, but his feet were neatly stuffed into his shoes.

I was kicking, not bothering to pull off the heels of my shoes, and there was still a patch on the toes.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing had an illusion.

This owner of Zuo Village is really the other rich man that Bald Man said that Rich Man Li is afraid of.

He looks like an old farmer.

The owner of Zuo Village explained some things to the father and son next to him.

It was like asking them to go back to the village and tell people to clean up the ditches that day.

When there is more water, it can flow along the ditch to other farmland.

After receiving the order, the father and son ran back to the village excitedly to convey the news to other villagers.

Here, Master Zuo's eyes finally fell on Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

"I just heard from Old Uncle Geng that the two distant visitors came from Wanghai County."

Master Zuo asked Luo Fengtang with a smile.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "My name is Luo Fengtang, and her name is Yang Ruoqing. We came here specially to visit you, Master Zuo."

When Luo Fengtang spoke, his back was straight and there was a kind of respect on his face.

Luo Fengtang was willing to respect this kind of good village owner who was approachable, did good things for the villagers, and worked for the welfare of the villagers.

Although the owner of Zuo Village seems to be only three or four years older than him.

The owner of Zuo Village smiled and nodded when he heard Luo Fengtang's words.

"You don't deserve a visit. I welcome you to visit our Zuojiazhuang."

The master of Zuo Village said.

"You two, please come with me to sit in the humble house for a while."

The owner of Zuo Village was about to invite Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing back to the village, when a villager hurried over from the other side of the field.

Tell the owner of Zuo Village about digging a river channel behind the village.

The owner of Zuo Village first sent the villager back, then turned around and looked at Luo Fengtang apologetically.

"Brother Luo, I'm really sorry. I have something to deal with."

"Why don't you stay at old Uncle Geng's house tonight? Come to my house for dinner at night and let me fulfill my duty as a landlord."

Luo Fengtang turned his head and glanced at Yang Ruoqing. After getting her hint, he smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zuo, please go and do your work first."

The owner of Zuo Village nodded to Yang Ruoqing again, turned around and hurriedly chased the villager from before.

On the shore, only Yang Ruoqing, Luo Fengtang and old Uncle Geng were left.

"You, Master Zuo, are really a busy man."

She couldn't help but sigh.

Old Uncle Geng looked at the retreating figure of Master Zuo and said proudly, "Yes, our Master is very good. Everyone in our village likes him."

Yang Ruoqing asked again, "If he is so busy, wouldn't there be no one to take care of his wife and children at home?"

Old Uncle Geng was startled for a moment, and then the smile on his face faded a little.

He sighed and said, "When it comes to this, it makes people anxious."

"What?"

"We, the owner of the village, are descended from three generations. Everyone in their family is good at carpentry. They made their fortune by doing carpentry for the last two owners of the village."

Old Geng Bo said.

"The owner's family is different from other wealthy landlords."

"Other landlords and wealthy people bully our villagers even if they have some money, and they behave tyrannically and look down on people."

"Zuo Zhuangzhu and his three generations are all down-to-earth. Their family has a large business and they have everything they want."

"But he treats us well, especially the owner of the village, who is no different from us villagers."

"You saw him just now, you must have seen him. He is very enthusiastic. When the farming is busy, he works in the fields with us."

"When I have free time, I will study the production of farm tools at home and give the farm tools to our poor families for free. It will benefit everyone."

"But because of this, his marriage was delayed."

"I'm already twenty-one this year. There are only two or three children of his age in the village, and he hasn't even announced his marriage."

"The old owner of the village is dead, and only the old lady is left in the family. The old lady is almost worried about this matter."

After hearing what Old Uncle Geng said, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other.

Both men saw the same shock in each other's eyes.

This owner of Zuo Village is a workaholic.
