Early the next morning, shopkeeper Song came to Zhounanzhuang with his assistant.
Although the two of them came early, the people in the country also got up early.
As a result, the matter of the Lu family's distinguished guests arriving early in the morning spread around the village within a short time.
Like the Lu family, Zhuang Shang couldn't help but feel sad because he was a criminal. How can they live a prosperous life and have everything they want when they are also sinners?
Not only do you have a warm relationship with Manager Xia and his family, but you also take care of them in every aspect. How long have you been here? Just got involved with the nobles in the city?
Some people couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks, "So what if I jump up and down again? I'm not a criminal yet. That's how it will be for the next few generations!" "
No! They've probably forgotten how they were exiled to this barbaric land. Yeah! When you see Tian'er running around, is it because you think you didn't die early enough?"
...
Some people made sarcastic remarks in their heart, but someone came to the Lu family to inquire.
No matter whether our descendants have a future or not, we should at least live a good life and have enough food and clothing!
Many criminals who were exiled to the village were like Lu Zhixi of the Su clan. They could not lift their shoulders or lift their hands. They could neither farm nor cook, and their lives were in a mess.
Seeing that wealthy families from the same capital were exiled and became criminals, not only did they not starve and suffer poverty, but they also lived a prosperous life, it would be a lie to say that I was not envious.
"Second brother, are you related to the Lu family? What are you moving inside?"
Someone whispered to the waiter who was driving the carriage.
Duobao got instructions from the shopkeeper early this morning not to say anything that shouldn't be said. Therefore, no matter how people asked, he never answered a word.
If they couldn't find out anything from the waiter, someone would find a way to find the Su family or several servants of the Lu family to find out.
Su didn't hide it, "My daughter-in-law partnered with a shopkeeper in the town and started a small business."
"Your daughter-in-law must have made a lot of money!" Someone looked at Su's white and tender hands and said with envy: " You are really lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law. Now in such a situation, she still takes care of you like a wife." "
Where did you make any money? It's just that my son injured his leg and was lying in bed. It costs money to treat the legs and take medicine every day. With so many children at home, it is really expensive and there is nothing we can do. Otherwise, my daughter-in-law would not earn that hard-earned money."
Su complained with a tearful face. "Speaking of it, I am useless as a mother-in-law. I can't do anything. I only drag them down when they are young."
People looked at Su Shi's bitter look and thought that Lu Shiyan had not been out for many days. Those who felt sad felt better. Some.
Although the daughter-in-law of the Lu family is capable, her yin is strong and her yang is weak, and her son is useless. The Lu family is no better than that.
People felt comfortable in their hearts, but they still praised Su on their faces and carefully inquired about the business Jiang Tangtang was doing with the county shopkeeper.
When it came to her daughter-in-law's specific business, Mrs. Su didn't say a word, saying she didn't understand.
Seeing that they couldn't find out anything, people all left disappointed.
Jiang Tangtang stayed up late last night. After handing the goods to Shopkeeper Song in the morning, he went back to his room and took a nap.
I slept until almost noon before waking up.
It had been a long time since he had slept in, so Jiang Tangtang was a little confused about what night it was. While he was dazed, he saw a little head sneaking in from the door. Seeing her eyes open, he suddenly said happily: "Mom, are you awake? "
Where is your father?" Jiang Tangtang looked at the clean and tidy bed opposite and asked doubtfully.
"Dad was afraid of disturbing your rest, so he took us to teach in the courtyard." Lu Tiantian said with bright big eyes: "Dad was afraid that we would disturb you, so he asked us to keep our voices down. Mom, dad cares about you very much. !"
"You are a little kid." Jiang Tangtang raised his hand and scratched the bridge of his little daughter's nose, and said with a smile: "You are so good, do you want me to help you with something?"
Lu Tiantian's eyes widened and she asked, "How can you guess? " It looks like it's arrived.
Jiang Tangtang said with a smile: "Tell me! What do you want to do?"
Lu Tiantian didn't know who she learned from. She didn't say what she wanted to do with Jiang Tangtang, but she courteously brought her a toothbrush and handed her a towel.
Jiang Tangtang enjoyed the attentive service of the little cotton-padded jacket. After a simple meal, he smiled and said: "Okay, little flatterer, you can talk now! What do you want me to do for you?" "
Mom, let's go to the fields, okay? Okay?"
Lu Tiantian tilted her head and looked at Jiang Tangtang with bright eyes. This made Jiang Tangtang unbearable. She felt that her heart was about to melt. "Why are you going to the wasteland?"
"I want to see the wild berries that mom grew by her own hands." The child is forgetful, and the panic of getting lost in the wasteland a few days ago has now disappeared. I can't remember, I just remember it was fun and delicious.
Jiang Tangtang smiled and touched her head and said, "Are you greedy again? Okay, get a small basket and let's go see if there are any wild berries to pick."
Before the two of them reached the wasteland where strawberries were grown, they saw them at the edge of the field. A lot of people gathered around.
"Madam, it's not good!" Seeing Jiang Tangtang, He Qiuniang ran over in a panic and said, "The wild berries in the field are all dead." "
How could they be dead?" Jiang Tangtang frowned immediately. Logically speaking, the strawberry seedlings taken out from the space should have stronger vitality!
"I don't know what happened. When we opened the straw today as usual, we found that many seedlings were gone and some leaves were yellow."
He Qiuniang was afraid that Jiang Tangtang would blame her and said anxiously: "We have obviously been very careful. I don't know why it happened."
"Don't panic, I'll go take a look first." Jiang Tangtang left Lu Tiantian to take care of her, and he went over to carefully check the cause of death of the strawberry seedlings.
The strawberry seedlings were growing well in the ground, and there were no loose roots. However, there was a smell of urine near the rhizomes of the strawberry seedlings.
Jiang Tangtang remembered that apart from asking people to use mulch from the mountains to improve the soil, she did not ask anyone to fertilize the strawberries.
But these dead strawberry seedlings all have the same characteristic. You can smell the smell of urine when you get close to them.
She had a suspicion in her mind, but she didn't express it. She just said to He Qiuniang: "Let's water it normally first and see if it can be saved. If it can't be saved... then we can only think of other ways."
When the villagers on the edge saw it, they all started talking. One person said, "I'm just saying that we can't grow anything in this winter! Look, aren't they dead?"
"No, these are dead." She's from Beijing. She may have never even touched a hoe before. She doesn't know anything about farming. Only Xia Lao believes in her deception and accompanies them to mess around!" "
I don't know what this kind of person is. It's a pity for the Xia family. My son's thoughts. He helps with the plowing and digs the soil in the mountains. With that kind of time, he might as well tidy up the few acres of his own land."…
People
talked about it in a variety of ways. Stop, soon, the news that the things in the Lu family's land were not growing spread throughout Zhuangzi.
