An Shuyao glanced at him: "What's the hurry? You'll show me your land later."
"Okay."
Also going to see the land was An Yunrui, while An Jingzhou continued to follow the workers in tinkering with his house.
To the east of Hu Jun's village, his family's house is also here. The fields are not far from his home. An Shuyao is standing on the field ridge. This fertile field is ten acres wide and covers a large area.
Moreover, the soil is fertile, so there is no need to improve her wasteland at all. She can just sow seeds and plant them. Ten acres is not a small amount. It will take a lot of manpower to plant it.
Hu Jun asked: "Sister An, what do you think?"
An Shuyao was naturally satisfied: "I rented this land. Today you write a deed and leave a certificate."
"I'll start sowing tomorrow."
On the way back, An Yunrui asked her: "Yaoyao, what are you going to plant here?"
"Chili pepper."
"Why are you growing so many peppers?"
"Did you see that Dasheng has this kind of pepper? Now I want to open the pepper market and make a lot of money first."
"Not really..." An Yunrui hesitated: "Are you sure this was transplanted from the mountain?"
An Shuyao nodded sincerely: "Yes, I had all the pepper seeds in my bag before you guys came."
"Okay, I'll help you plant a piece of land tomorrow. But when will the ten acres of land be planted?"
"My batch of seeds matures in about half a month, so I have to pay villagers to plant them. My shop in the county will be open in half a month." An Shuyao smiled: "Fourth brother, you are busy.
It’s been so many days, why don’t you take a day off at home? Since you came to Rock Village, you have been either on the mountain or on the ground.”
An Yunrui shook his head: "I can't sit still. I feel uncomfortable all over even if I don't move. I still have my elder brother to practice with me in the house. I can't sleep even if I can't use up my strength here."
Okay, her fourth brother really can't sit still. He has been suffering from ADHD since he was a child. Not letting him do things would be more uncomfortable than killing him. If there is any errand job at home, he will never refuse when he is called and will just leave in a hurry.
He was the most excited when he went into battle to kill the enemy. He wished he could stay in the military camp every day. An Shuyao remembered that An Yunrui was old and was forced to go home by An's mother to let him see the girl.
An Shuyao also followed him.
Among their seven brothers, he is the most honest and sincere. Among An's mother's sons, An Si is the most worry-free. But you can't pick the soft ones first, otherwise all the An family members will be single except An Da, who is married.
My mother was so anxious that she couldn't sleep at night.
After returning home, An Shuyao began to study facial creams. There was a small furnace in her space for refining medicine, and there were also materials for facial creams in her space.
Seeing her starting to tinker with things again, Liu Yuxue sat across from her: "What are you going to do again?"
"Facial cream, moisturizing, whitening and nourishing."
Liu Yuxue was very interested: "I haven't tried the Chinese medicine mask you gave me last time."
An Shuyao didn't even raise his head: "You can try it, the effect is very good."
"Isn't there a cow behind you? When you go to milk the cow, remember to boil the milk and cool it down before using it."
The cows and sheep were all cleaned and taken care of by An Jingzhou. He disliked them very much, but he brought them here and he had to clean them.
He lived happily in Shengjing for eighteen years. Once he came to Yanshi Village, he could hoe the fields, feed the dogs, herd cattle and sheep on the mountains, and he could do all the work that a farmer should do.
He decided that when his third brother came, he would have to sleep in the dog house once. After all, he and his fourth brother had both slept there.
An Jingzhou gets excited whenever he thinks of his gentle third brother sleeping in a doghouse. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a high-ranking and powerful minister suddenly fall into despair.
He kept this idea secretly in his heart and did not dare to expose it at all, for fear of being beaten.

Noon, Shijia.
Shi Huanhuan put a lot less sugar in the cakes she made this time. She took a bite and found that they were much better than yesterday. She put them in the basket with satisfaction and met her mother when she went out.
Aunt Shi pulled Shi Huanhuan to one side: "Huanhuan, will your method work? What if Mr. Lu doesn't accept this trick?"
Shi Huanhuan did not tell Aunt Shi that she was going to drug Lu Jin. She only said that she wanted to impress Lu Jin with tenderness.
Otherwise, Aunt Shi will definitely stop her if she finds out. She will never let anyone ruin her good deeds now.
She patted Aunt Shi's hand comfortingly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm absolutely sure that I can succeed. Just wait until Lu Jin pays a lot of money to propose marriage."
Although it was somewhat unethical to do so, the An family had two hundred taels of silver, and she could not even imagine that she would have so much money in her life.
The words she wanted to dissuade were stuck in her throat again. Her heart was more inclined to the two hundred taels that Shi Huanhuan said, so she acquiesced again.
"You just went to thank Xianggong Lu for teaching your brother. I'm sure others won't say anything if they find out, and they will praise you for your kindness."
Shi Huanhuan smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will make you a rich wife and make you the envy of others in the village."
Only then did Aunt Shi smile brightly: "My Huanhuan family is very happy. Mom just wants you to have a good life. Go ahead and give some to your brother."
Shi Huanhuan went out and was the first to arrive at the school.
She stood at the door and looked at Lu Jin eagerly, which made Lu Jin feel disgusting. If he hadn't promised An Shuyao, he really wouldn't want to do such a thing.
He just felt that he was unlucky, always being targeted by a group of women like this.
An Yunrui and An Jingzhou were not bad in appearance, and no girls were seen bothering them.
He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them, his cold temperament became much softer.
"Come to the backyard."
Shi Huanhuan agreed shyly.
An Hao was guarding Lu Jin every step of the way. This woman looked like when his father returned in triumph in Shengjing, many girls would throw flowers to his father, and they would look at his father in the same way.
Shi Huanhuan put the cake on the table. Lu Jin took a look and saw that it was still chestnut cake.
An Hao didn't even look at it, since it wasn't as delicious as his aunt's cooking.
He pouted and looked unhappy. Lu Jin glanced at him and said coldly: "Brother Hao, give it a try."
An Hao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why is it me again? I don't want it."
Lu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't be naughty. Yesterday you said it wasn't delicious. Miss Shi made it again for you. You should try it."
With that said, Lu Jin forced a piece of pastry into An Hao's hand: "Eat it."
An Hao: "..."
He suspected that his younger uncle didn't want to eat it and deliberately used him as an excuse to have a taste, but he had no evidence.
Shi Huanhuan just wanted Lu Jin to taste it. She looked at An Hao patiently and said with a gentle smile, "I didn't add enough sugar. Xiao Hao, please give it a try."
An Hao's whole little face wrinkled up. He reluctantly took a small bite. Shi Huanhuan looked at him expectantly: "How does it taste?"
