A few days later, Lin Zhu received a letter from Dr. Zhang. In the letter, Dr. Zhang first expressed his apology for Mr. Wang, then explained the ins and outs of Mr. Wang's suspicion, and finally told that Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan would arrive in a month.
Let’s talk about how we stayed as a guest at Linzhu’s farm in Wangcun for a few days.
Lin Zhu was not dissatisfied with Old Doctor Zhang's letter. Lin Zhu knew that Old Doctor Zhang must have said a lot of good things in it. Otherwise, how could a senior official in the capital let his direct granddaughter come to give her a country peasant girl?
Apologize.
Putting down the letter from Dr. Zhang, Lin Zhu left the house with a relaxed expression, sat on the carriage arranged by Feng Yuanbo, and went to inspect the situation on the slope.
Lin Zhu pays more attention to the slopes than to the rice fields, because it is not only the fruit trees, but also the cattle and sheep that make her willing to put her efforts into them.
All the puppies adopted by Lin Zhu went to the nursing home with Hei Dou'er. Only the smallest one was brought here by Hei Dou'er. The weak puppy loved to cling to Lin Zhu the most, until Lin Zhu left.
It would follow him wherever he went. But now that it had become very healthy, Lin Zhu just let it run around with him.
So Lin Zhu and Feng Yuanbo took Minglu and it to the slopes together.
"Uncle Bo, how is the situation on the slopes now?" Sitting on the carriage, Lin Zhu felt a little bored.
"The girl wants to ask, how are those cows doing now?" Feng Yuanbo asked with a smile while driving the carriage.
"Well, are they okay?" Lin Zhu nodded.
"Since I found the old Niutou in Wangcun, the situation has improved a lot." The old Niutou in Feng Yuanbo's mouth was a lonely old man in Wangcun. He was fifty years old, but he was alone. According to the village chief, Lao Niutou's
His wife and children all died of illness, leaving him alone. He was good at raising cattle, but once he fell ill and had no money for medical treatment, so he had to sell his only cow.
Nowadays, life is difficult. After Feng Yuanbo heard about him, he asked the village chief to make peace with him and invited him here. He would only take care of the cattle that Lin Zhu bought and did nothing else. He would be given one or two silver dollars every month.
Monthly salary.
After hearing this condition, the village chief was very happy and immediately called him over. After Lao Niutou agreed, he signed the work contract.
At first Lin Zhu had a try attitude toward this so-called cattle-raising expert, but within a month, Feng Yuanbo had already praised him.
Not only the beef cattle, but also the farm cattle were raised very well by him.
Lao Niutou was very excited because he could raise so many cows at one time. He worked very hard. When he was in a good mood, he would also teach a few servants who were helping him how to take care of the cows.
The slope was actually not that far away from Lin Zhu's home, and it took less than half an hour to get there.
Because he was going to the ground, Lin Zhu dressed neatly, wearing a pair of pink-blue shorts and a pair of cotton boots. He walked on the slope very lightly.
Far away, Lin Zhu saw Lao Niutou and two servants driving more than 20 cows towards the outside of the cattle pen.
Although about 20 acres of pasture have been planted and the grass is growing very well, the cattle cannot always graze in one place. Otherwise, they will become bald.
Moreover, if the pasture matures, it must be harvested and made into silage fodder. When there is no fresh pasture in autumn and winter, it will be taken out for the cattle to eat. Therefore, the work of Lao Niutou and others is also very hard, but Lin Zhu has already given instructions
, we will find more people to do the work then. This will make Lao Niutou and the two servants feel more at ease.
"My boss is here." Lao Niutou had a very cheerful and outgoing personality. He never called Lin Zhu a girl when he saw her, he always called her boss.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Niu." Lin Zhu was also very polite to him. He never called him Lao Niutou like the people in Wangcun did. People in Lin Zhu's family also called him Master Niu.
"It's not hard work, it's just herding cattle." The cattle master said easily, but at this time, because he had to drive the cattle to the grazing land, sweat was already visible on his forehead.
"Herding cattle is not easy either." Lin Zhu smiled.
There were cows grazing not far away. Lin Zhu wanted to get closer and have a better look, so he asked the old Niu Tou, "Master Niu, can I get closer and have a look at these cows?"
"Don't work too hard, boss." Old Niutou smiled, "I'll take you there. In fact, these cows are very honest."
Lin Zhu naturally knew that cows are generally not aggressive, but these cows are all adults. Lin Zhu, a small body, was still a little scared to see them, so he could only follow the old cow head and quietly approach the cows.
The beef cattle that Lin Zhu purchased were all yellow cattle. After nearly two months of feeding, they had gained a lot of meat and looked even bigger.
"Master Niu's method of raising cattle is really brilliant. It has only been a few days and the cattle have become much fatter." Lin Zhu was very happy to see these fat and strong cattle.
"Thank you, my boss." Although Old Niutou said modestly, the pride in his eyes was very obvious.
"Master Niu, although you have to raise calves for farming cattle, you can't relax here for beef cattle. And after the calves are born, they must be identified by the government. These calves are useless cattle that cannot work.
." Lin Zhu explained carefully.
Once it is confirmed that the calves born from beef cattle are also cattle that cannot be farmed, Lin Zhu can be bred and raised in large quantities. At that time, restaurants in the capital will come to purchase beef. Thinking of that time, Lin Zhu felt
The white money fell into her arms again.
After seeing the cattle, Lin Zhu went to the orchard again. Although the orchard was not yet mature, they were growing very well. Not a single fruit tree was unsuccessful in planting, and there was no need to replenish the seedlings.
The same situation exists in Linzhu's Wolfberry Garden. The seedlings of the Wolfberry trees have already broken through the ground, and the leaves are green and the seedlings are strong.
However, none of these can compare with the lush branches and leaves of the grape seedlings. The grapes were originally bought with roots, and at that time Lin Zhu saw that the roots of these grapes were very good, and they should not be annuals. As expected, after a period of space nourishment,
, the grape roots replanted in the ground quickly adapted to the soil here, and the growing vines have already wrapped around the prepared bamboo poles.
Lin Zhu walked all morning. Although sometimes she could use a carriage instead of walking, most of the way she had to walk on her own feet, which was really too much for her. Finally, she said goodbye to Lao Niutou and the others, and got on the bus.
The carriage returned.
Lin Zhu felt that her feet were a little swollen in the boots, but she didn't dare to say it yet, so she had to endure it.
When I got home, I couldn't hold it any longer. I almost fell to the ground when I got off the carriage.
When Feng Yuanbo saw that the situation was not good, he quickly walked to her side and asked her what was wrong.
"Uncle Bo, I'm fine. It's just that I walked a lot today and my feet hurt. It will be fine in a while." Lin Zhu forced a smile, but her face turned a little pale because of the pain, and a large amount of sweat broke out on her forehead.
beads.
When Feng Yuanbo saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ordered Minglu to help Lin Zhu. He went to the yard and called two people, and used a chair to carry Lin Zhu back to her house.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Fu Dou'er also ran over after hearing the news.
"I'm fine." Lin Zhu smiled at him.
"Liar." Three-year-old Fu Dou'er can already distinguish right from wrong. Seeing the uncomfortable look on Lin Zhu's face, he already knew that she was not telling the truth.
"Master Fu, please stay aside for a while while I clean up the girl." Mrs. Xu entered the house with Qian Xuehui carrying a basin of warm water.
"Girl, let me help you take off your boots first." After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she gently lifted up Lin Zhu's ankle and tried to take off the cotton boots with her other hand.
But as soon as she exerted force, Lin Zhu hissed, and it looked like she was in great pain.
"Girl, where have you been today?" Qian Xuehui asked with concern from the side. She knew that her husband was following Lin Zhu, so he shouldn't make her tired. What is the situation now?
"I just walked around the slopes. I didn't go anywhere else." Lin Zhu felt that she was too squeamish. She only walked a little way and was now so tired.
"Girl, you're not just wandering around there. Look, slave, you've almost walked all over that slope." Minglu looked at Lin Zhu who looked in pain, and said with some distress and some complaints.
.She kept trying to persuade Lin Zhu to get in the car and sit for a while, but she just wouldn't listen.
Now both Mrs. Xu and Qian Xuehui understood that their girls were leading the way, which was why they were like this.
"Sister Feng, let me see, the girl's feet must be swollen, so the boots hurt when she moves, why not cut off the boots. This will also allow the feet to come out." Mrs. Xu and Qian Xuehui were discussing at the side.
"Okay, let's do it this way, otherwise the girl will be in more pain as time goes by." Qian Xuehui also nodded.
Lin Zhu just wanted to retort, saying that she liked these boots very much, and if they were cut off, they would definitely not be made for her again, but now Qian Xuehui looked unhappy.
Although Feng Yuanbo has never told her life experience, judging from the way Qian Xuehui speaks and does things on weekdays, she must have a very good background. At least she comes from a well-educated family. As for Lin Zhu's public appearance,
I have always disapproved of it, but because of the special situation and there was no trustworthy person around Lin Zhu except Feng Yuanbo, Qian Xuehui could only turn a blind eye.
However, Lin Zhu's foot injury was a good excuse to keep her at home. It saved her from running around and doing business with grown men, and she didn't have the reserved look of a daughter's family.
"Okay, I'll do it." Mrs. Xu nodded, took a pair of scissors, and cut off the edge of the boots.
Lin Zhu had no way to refute. At this point, no matter how much she said, she would definitely attract more nagging from Qian Xuehui. Since Chang's mother left, the only person left who dared to nag her around her for her own good was Qian Xuehui.
