The spring rain is as precious as oil, and it falls continuously. The mountains in the distance are shrouded in a layer of mist, and they are as illusory as Penglai.
At the beginning of spring, farming is busy everywhere. Tian Minyan’s family has a lot of land, so she has made preparations early. With last year’s rice field and fish farming, this year, almost all the paddy fields in Qingping County have been cultivated, not to mention Yangmei Village.
Next words.
Therefore, the entire paddy field in Yangmei Village is digging fish holes, and Tian Minyan's family has gained experience. They can do it quickly and well themselves, but they also don't forget to give advice to others.
Zhou Gui led the people to take care of the paddy fields, so Tian Minyan focused on cotton planting and had to finish sowing in time for the Qingming Festival.
For this reason, the Tian family was severely short of manpower, so Qi Shiqi sent nearly ten long-term workers along with their personal deeds to provide support to the Tian family.
With more permanent workers, the living space became more tense. Tian Minyan built a row of low houses next to the west house and started busy sowing in spring.
"The cotton planting must be done before the Qingming Festival. Sir, we will be very busy for a while." After lunch that day, Tian Minyan said to Xia Guang with a smile: "You have to teach Brother Rui and Xiaowu again, thank you for your hard work.
"
"If this cotton can really be grown, the work will be worth it. As for your two brothers, they have also learned well. It is you who have to grow this cotton and be busy opening a weaving workshop. You are really busy."
Xia Guang held the teacup and took a sip of water and said, "The prince said that the regulations you made are excellent. I really want to see the finished cotton product soon."
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled. She cooperated with Qi Shiqi. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a blessing. Apart from other things, he sent people to Jiangnan to look for her skillful weaving skills. I believe there will be news soon.
"If it is really done, sir will be indispensable." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
Xia Guang nodded, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for the finished product."
The two talked for a while, and Xia Guang returned to the side room where he lived to take a lunch break, while Tian Minyan went to the main room first and teased little Yaya.
Little Yaya is more than five months old and has already turned over. She is white and fat, has a long-life golden lock hanging around her neck, silver bracelets on her hands and feet, and is wearing pink clothes. She is very cute.
"Mom, Yaya is so funny now, she even spit bubbles at me just now." Tian Minyan helped her sister sit on the couch and said to Luo Shi with a smile.
"It will be more fun when you are older." Luo Shi said with a smile: "It is the most fun when you are just learning to walk and talk. You were like this at the beginning, which is very rare."
"Mom, was I this white and fat when I was a child?"
"It can't be compared. At that time, the situation was not good, and the food was not as good as it is now. Even the cooking was far behind." Luo Shi sighed, and seeing Tian Minyan looking at her, he said: "The farming was busy at that time.
There are not many people doing the work in the fields. Your aunt doesn’t go to the fields, she just takes care of the children at home. What do you think? You and your brother pooped their pants and didn’t give them a change. They cried until they fell asleep with tears on their faces.
It's better for me to tidy up after I come back from the fields."
Tian Minyan twitched the corner of her mouth and remained silent, Jiang was really a person who only wanted money but did not do anything.
"Speaking of which, it seems that there has been no news from Henghe for a long time." After Tian Minyan knew that Tian Minqing and Yuan Xiucai were paid for by Chen, there was no news. I don't know how they are doing there now?
"Who knows." Luo Shi chuckled and said, "It's a long journey, but no news is good news. I look forward to living like this forever."
Tian Minyan smiled, but no, their family is living a peaceful life now. They don't hear any news, which means they are peaceful there. It's good to keep doing this.
It's a pity that she thought too wonderfully.
"Second girl, Boss Du is here." Bai Mei came to report.
Spring has begun, and fishermen have begun to go out to sea. Boss Du, this is bringing kelp and seafood.
After going to the reception room in the front yard, Mr. Du was sitting drinking tea. When he saw Tian Minyan, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Second girl, long time no see."
"Is Mr. Du well?" Tian Minyan smiled and gave a blessing.
"Thanks to the girl, everything is fine." Mr. Du smiled widely.
The two sat down, first greeted each other's families, and then talked about business matters.
Nowadays, Mr. Du not only delivers kelp, but also seafood and seafood.
"Thanks to the girl's idea, now we don't always waste seafood. When the seafood is sold out, it is chilled. Some even taste better if chilled. Now the fishermen are living a better life." Mr. Du laughed.
smile.
"That is to say, just say it casually, so as not to hinder your business, Mr. Du." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it would be better if the girl had more casual conversations!" Mr. Du laughed. After laughing, he looked at Tian Minyan and hesitated to speak.
When Tian Minyan saw him like this, she asked, "Boss Du, what's the matter with you? It's okay to say it."
Mr. Du coughed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and asked hesitantly: "I have never asked the girl carefully before, but I heard from Brother Wang that the girl and our Henghe County Magistrate seem to be from the same clan?"
Tian Minyan's heart skipped a beat, her hand holding the teacup paused, and she said, "He is my biological uncle."
Boss Du said oh and drank tea again, as if hesitating.
"Boss Du, is there something inappropriate?" Seeing him like this, Tian Minyan became more and more sure that something must have happened over there, and said: "Boss Du, I don't come to Henghe often. This news comes all the time.
I can't receive it either, I hope Boss Du can tell me something."
"I vaguely heard that the girl seems to have some friendship with Prince Xian, but is this like this?" Boss Du looked at her tentatively and expectantly.
Tian Minyan's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly: "I used to do business with the prince. Recently, my family grew potatoes. Because this crop is rare, it attracted the prince's attention, and our friendship was not that good.
Where to go, it’s just a matter of being able to say a few sentences.”
After hearing this, Mr. Du's eyes lit up. Even if he said a few words, he was much better than others. You know, some officials can't even get in front of a royal family like the prince. It's good for him to cooperate with the Tian family.
Your business will be more honest.
"Boss Du?" Tian Minyan frowned.
Mr. Du came back to his senses, put down the tea cup and said: "I heard this from someone else. I don't know whether it is true or not. The girl just treated it as a joke and gossip. As for the truth or falsehood, the girl has her own opinions.
The plan is like this, in Henghe, the county magistrate and Mr. Tian Er..."
After hearing Boss Du's so-called 'gossip', Tian Minyan stood up angrily, gritted her silver teeth, and squeezed out four words from between her teeth: "Extremely shameless!"
