Ten people plowing the fields start working at the beginning of the day and finish work at the end of the day.
Wages are paid every day and are never in arrears.
Li Qingchuan held the wages he received today and asked softly:
"When will the construction of the house on the west side start? Your land will be renovated in one day."
"You haven't rested all day?" Cheng Xue was surprised.
Li Qingchuan smiled bitterly and nodded, saying somewhat lonely:
"No rest, do as much as you can before leaving, and leave more money for the three of them."
Between him and Li Qingshan, it was the latter who ended up staying at the forest farm, because although Li Qingshan was married, he had no children. It must be said that Xiao Qinglin, the general manager, was not in vain. When it came to streamlining the staff, he wanted to do everything.
"Okay, since you don't want to rest, you can go there early the day after tomorrow. You have to tear down the kang and walls in the house first. This time it's not five cents a day, but a room. It's thirty cents per room, so you can do it yourself.
Okay, you can partner with others and pay according to the house."
"I know, thank you."
Watching his leaving figure, I was thinking about the time when the two of them were fighting and he said "hen chicken Si Chen" as if it was just yesterday.
Time flies so fast. It’s been half a year since I came here. These days, apart from digging wild vegetables, I also make shoes at home. It seems that there is a missing person in the village. Who is missing?
"Mom, the buns are steamed."
Li Yue's voice interrupted her thoughts, and she went back to the house with an "Oh". The freshly cooked wild vegetable buns were white and noisy.
The buns are very big, so pick out six and put them into a small basin, and then they will pop out. Cover them with a drawer cloth and carry them out.
They have all finished eating, this is freshly steamed specially.
Li Laoyuan saw two lanterns with candles hanging at the entrance of the school, which did not exist at all when Li Fang was alive.
Go around to the back, the door is open, and there are many people walking around in the yard. Although they are just a young couple, there are really a lot of people waiting on them.
Liang Yanxiu can be used as a servant, but Li Hui and the others have no need for the time being.
"You are Mrs. Li Xiucai, come with me quickly, our grandma is waiting for you in the house."
"Hey, your grandma can also make clever calculations?"
"Pfft——" the maid chuckled, shook her head and said:
"The scholar lady is really good at joking, and our grandma is always clever and clever. But the second grandma knows that you love her, so she will definitely come over, so let me wait here. Please be careful where you step."
Yes, I met someone with a sweet mouth.
After entering the house, Mrs. Lian was writing something with her head down. When she heard the maid's report, she quickly put down her brush and stood up.
"I just guessed that my sister-in-law would bring me food. I haven't even eaten dinner. What did I get?"
"Baozi, stuffed with shepherd's purse and meat. When you saw me in the afternoon, I had just come back from digging."
As he spoke, he put down the basin and removed the drawer cloth. Lian left two of them and let the maid take away the remaining four. After washing her hands, she picked up the buns, took a quick bite, chewed slowly, and kept nodding.
“It’s delicious! The noodles are very spicy and the fillings are also good.”
Looking at her elegant and generous look, Cheng Xue raised the corners of her mouth.
"As long as you like it. There are no vegetables here at the moment, so it's best to eat some wild vegetables. This shepherd's purse can also be used to fry pancakes, put some eggs, noodles, salt and so on, it's also delicious."
"Then next time my sister-in-law goes to dig vegetables, call me and I will go too."
"Okay." Cheng Xue responded casually, not taking it seriously, "How does it feel to come here? Are you used to it yet?"
"I'm used to it. I'm so used to it. I thought the school in the village would be dilapidated and have leaky roofs. I didn't expect the school in your village to be so good. The backyard is big, there are many rooms, and my husband even has a study room." Lian continued.
Praising the school.
How could this place be so bad? In order to renovate it, Li Fang asked the original owner to pay for it.
"As long as you get used to living here, if you need anything, just send someone to my house to ask. You can get all the normal things."
"Okay, I'm not polite to my sister-in-law." As she spoke, Lian ate a bun. "My sister-in-law's buns were too big. I thought I could eat two."
Cheng Xue chuckled "Haha..." and looked at her oval-shaped face. She really couldn't eat much if she didn't work.
"Brother Zhou Fei will have to worry about sending my two boys here after the school starts."
"Needless to say, my own child. By the way, sister-in-law, what do you think about my elder brother's side? When will he come over to take an exam?"
"I'll come tomorrow after lunch. In the morning, he will order bricks and tiles." Cheng Xue replied.
She planned to sit there for half an hour and then go home. Who would have thought that Lian told her something and asked her to sit there for more than an hour. In the end, Li Hui was really impatient at home and came to look for her. Before she could see anyone, she was arrested.
Zhou Fei took him to the study to be examined by his master.
He answered several questions in a row. The master was satisfied and immediately decided to accept him.
After hearing the maid's report, Mrs. Lian happily took Cheng Xue's hand and said:
"What are you doing, sister-in-law? I'll tell you that there will definitely be no problem with the eldest brother. In this way, the two of them will go together for the provincial examination, and I can rest assured that my sister-in-law will go with me."
The college exam really scared her. Not only was she scared, but Zhou Fei himself was also scared. So when Lian mentioned it this time, he agreed wholeheartedly, fearing that it would not work out. Li Hui was good at taking exams.
Accompanied by Zhou Fei, they came over, exchanged greetings with each other, and waved goodbye.
Zhou Fei and his wife sent them out warmly, and finally stopped after repeated urging from Li Hui and Cheng Xue.
"Brother Huizi, come over tomorrow after you finish your work. I will practice calligraphy in the morning and won't let Master teach."
Looking at Zhou Fei who had completely transformed, Li Hui nodded.
"I'll see you tomorrow at noon. Let's go first. The leeks in the garden at home will be edible in a while. If there is any shortage, just complain."
"Don't worry, brother, I won't be polite to you." Zhou Fei responded with a smile.
Li Hui walked onto the main road in the village, and the couple returned to school. Cheng Xue told Li Hui what she had heard from Lian, and she was very angry during the process.
"...Do you think this county magistrate is shameless! He doesn't know what he did? He doesn't want to make up for it, but he tries to threaten him. It's really unreasonable."
Li Hui looked at her indignant look, smiled and shook his head, saying:
"You are really short-sighted when you become the county magistrate? You are also an eighth-grade official, how can you make up for a little scholar. But listening to what you said, I am worried about his provincial examination. If the county magistrate interferes with it,
Wang Senko is only afraid that the road to the exam... will not be peaceful."
"Can it still be like this? Isn't this covering the sky with one hand?"
"Have you forgotten why Xiao Feng came here? To train Xiao Qinglin, you not only have to pave the way, but also set up obstacles. These little minions may be restrained under Pan Yongzhang's nose, but what about another official?"
"You mean..."
Li Hui nodded, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Xiao Qinglin has a good family background, but if he has no ability, how long will his ancestors' virtues protect him? When I chatted with Xiao Feng that day, this man was able to enjoy himself and he was really capable. It was not just because his cousin was the emperor's Bai Yueguang." p>
"I heard you say that, what about you? Have you ever thought about yourself?"
"Me? As long as the seven of us are together, I'm not afraid of any problems!"
After Li Hui finished speaking, he hugged her and walked home quickly...
