I haven’t been on the mountain for more than ten days, so I don’t know what’s going on with the forest farm on the mountain. The general manager is not just in name, he also needs to work.
The tiger nuzzled Li Hui and Li Heng affectionately. They haven't seen each other for two months. It really misses its owner.
I have to say, it really looks two circles in size.
"Oh, these children have grown up. They really have grown up in a different environment!"
Cheng Xue listened to Wang's words, held her hand and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Mother Yingjie. Not only do you help with the care at home, but you also have to feed the chickens and dogs."
"Oh, look what my sister-in-law said, she's a foreigner. We are real relatives. Besides, I live wherever I am. It's been a good time for my father to take care of the children here these two months."
As he spoke, Wang pulled her straight to the backyard, and said with some intention of taking credit:
"Sister-in-law, you see, I helped plow the ground in the small garden. The original place where the bricks were placed was plowed by the child's father. He is very energetic. I guessed that you would be able to come back in these days, so I covered the mattresses and quilts at home.
All changed and washed."
"You are so capable. Saying thank you would be too fake. When you go back, you will discuss it with your uncle and aunt. The matter is done. You can plant as much as you can. There are restaurants in the town and county, so you can eat."<
/p>
Mrs. Wang's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she kept nodding, her heart full of expectation.
Ever since she learned that her cousin was selected as a scholar, she had thought that this would be possible, and that she would do her best every day to manage the household and take care of the livestock, and her efforts would be rewarded.
Inside the house, there was a fire just this morning and it is not cold.
Li Hui took a short break at home and then left with Li Heng and Yan Yixin. He had not gone to the mountain to visit his parents' graves during the college exam this time. Now he has to buy more paper work when he comes back, and he will get up early tomorrow.<
/p>
As soon as the front legs left, Li Qingchun and Jiang Jianye, the back legs, heard the news and came over.
Seeing that the family was full of women, Jiang Jianye was puzzled and asked:
"Tiedan Niang, where are Huizi and the two children?"
"I just left. I went to town to buy paper work and save it for my parents' grave tomorrow. Uncle Jiang, brother Qingchun, you guys drink water." Cheng Xue pushed the brewed tea to them, "I haven't congratulated brother Qingchun yet.
He is the first clan leader appointed by the mayor."
Li Qingchun paused while holding the tea cup, then shook his head.
"Don't scold me. This clan leader is so inexplicable that he doesn't say anything, and it's very troublesome. I just came here to ask, what are the plans for the worship at the ancestral hall?"
"Let's wait until he comes back to decide. It probably depends on the day after tomorrow. He has to visit his parents' graves tomorrow." Cheng Xue replied.
Li Qingchun understood the feelings the couple had towards the clan, and originally wanted to say something nice, but that shouldn't be necessary now.
As long as you can go to worship, it doesn't matter what happens.
The two sat here for a while, then they both stood up and prepared to leave.
Cheng Xue suddenly remembered the house and hurriedly called Jiang Jianye and said:
"Uncle Jiang, can you sell the abandoned house in the west of the village?"
"Do you want to buy?"
"Yeah." Cheng Xue nodded.
Although Li Qingchun was confused, he did not ask further questions. People are free to buy what they want. He was already giving face by not avoiding the taboos. He could not interfere with the patriarch's words.
Jiang Jianye walked around with his teacup for a while, nodded and said:
"It's a sale, but the two houses in the middle have been bought by Guo Sizhu and Guo Sanyu's family. What do you think... what should we do?"
"It's easy. You can ask for it for us. Each person will be compensated two taels of silver to move into the first house. We will also help repair all the houses. If they are willing, we will buy it. If they are not willing, forget it. I won't hide it from Jiang.
Uncle, the county and I have..."
Cheng Xue is not stingy about making money. Anyway, after the house is tidied up, she will have to hire people to grow vegetables there. It is better to talk about the matter now so that hiring people in the future will not be abrupt.
What's more important is that being rich alone is no big deal. Only when you lead the whole village to become rich can you feel a sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Jianye didn't expect her to be so honest, and Li Qingchun didn't expect her to be so generous.
It is no longer easy to retaliate with kindness, but now we are sharing the way to make money.
"Tiedan Niang, you...this..."
Li Qingchun didn't know what he wanted to say for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, solemnly looked at her and promised:
"Don't worry, if anyone in the clan dares to talk nonsense again, I will expel them from the Li clan."
Jiang Jianye patted Li Qingchun on the shoulder and promised the same:
"Don't worry, my uncle will definitely handle this matter satisfactorily, and the two families will move in nicely. When the time comes that we need more manpower, I will help you arrange it."
He has already anticipated the compliments at the end of this year. These two are really noble people and surprise him every year.
The two of them did what they said, got up and left one after another. To say that they really had no fate with Li Hui, they would have met if they had just one more cup of tea.
Like Cheng Xue in the past, Li Hui deliberately asked the driver to go around the village to go home without disturbing the villagers at the end of the village.
Not only did I buy paper work, but I also bought two fish weighing more than ten kilograms. It tasted just right at this time, with no peculiar smell and no earthy smell. I cut a large piece of pork belly and also bought a lot of big fish.
Stick bone.
"... I specifically told the butcher not to cut it so cleanly. So, it's okay."
"Very good, do you want to set the table?" Cheng Xue asked in confusion.
Wang felt that there was no need to ask this question at all, the table must be set.
After so many years of giving gifts, I have to take them back, and this time it’s justifiable.
Although she thinks so, Cheng Xue doesn't think so.
Firstly, setting the table takes too much effort. Secondly, the family doesn’t want to accept gifts.
They are destined not to stay here for a long time. In this case, there is no need to involve a debt of gratitude, which would be more difficult to return the favor.
Li Hui understood what she meant, smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Instead of setting up a table, our family will gather with my uncle, aunt, and others. I guess they can come over tomorrow. You will cut the bones early in the morning and wait for them to stew the fish. If they don't come, let your brothers and sisters bring the fish.
Go back."
"What's the matter? I'll take Yingjie back later, and we'll come over with my parents early tomorrow morning."
Wang is a man of action. As he was about to go back to the house to pack his things, Cheng Xue grabbed him.
"Why are you so anxious? You haven't made any plans yet."
"What other plans do you have!" Mrs. Wang was very anxious, "Sister-in-law, I wish I could grow wings and fly back now. I have to take advantage of the spring plowing to knock down the dilapidated houses in the village, otherwise someone will definitely buy them if they hear the news.
."
"No, only we know it, others don't."
"That won't work, be careful."
After Wang finished speaking, she hurried out. Yu Yingjie glanced at his mother who was in a hurry, and continued to play the rattle with Li Huai with his head down.
The things had been packed a long time ago, but just when she was about to change Yu Yingjie's clothes, the little guy stopped.
Seeing this, Cheng Xue hurriedly stopped and said:
"Let his father stay here, and he will come back with you tomorrow. Sidan doesn't want him to leave."
