The village chief was also very happy. He supported Uncle Zhao who was still having trouble walking, and shouted to everyone at the mountain pass, "Be careful, lift the saplings, don't rub off the skin."
"This Saplings are precious, and it will take many days for the bark to break."
"Well, Dazhu is just talking about you. If you don't carry a few trees at a time, you think you are the fourth child!"
"Remember to dig the tree pit bigger and deeper. , don't be lazy."
Mrs. Cui grew up in Weizhou and knows more about fruit trees.
At this moment, she came forward with Jiayin in her arms and spoke to the village chief and several other old men.
"Uncle village chief, is this the fruit sapling that the general found? It looks really good. It's two years old when you look at the thickness."
Hearing this, Jiayin secretly raised her heart, fearing that the secret would be revealed, and quickly pointed to the top of the mountain. He yelled, "Senior aunt, go play, go play!"
Mrs. Cui quickly patted her and gently coaxed her, "Fu Niu, be good, the mountain is busy, let's not go up. Master aunt will bring you snacks later."
Good news He hugged her neck and kept silent. As soon as she was interrupted, the village chief responded with a sad look on his face.
"Mrs. Cui, if you don't come over, I, an old man, also plan to go and talk to you."
"Uncle, do you need my help with something? Just ask, uncle." Mrs. Cui responded happily. The village is so busy, and she plans to move around more often in the future. , and even built a house next to the Li family.
At this time, she also wanted to help, but she couldn't help.
Speaking of which, she has loved reading since she was a child, and her father at home also supports it. Housekeeping and management are things that ordinary women are good at, but she is most bored and not good at them.
These things can be seen just from the fact that she did not personally take care of the dowry when she married into the Hou Mansion.
Now, the family's manor and property have all been taken back, and it was Liu's sworn brother who helped organize them, and then gave them to Sister-in-law Qiong, who once again became the hands-off shopkeeper.
The village chief found a big rock in the sun and invited Mrs. Cui to sit down. Come down.
"Mrs. Cui, we came from the north. Let's plant sorghum and millet. That won't be a problem. But now that we have to plant so many fruit saplings, I really don't know what to do. I have eaten the fruit, but the wild ones in the mountains. No one has ever seen how to grow it. Does Mrs. Cui know anyone who can help us hire a fruit farmer? We are willing to pay high wages, as long as the person is down-to-earth and capable."
This is not a difficult task, Cui The lady immediately nodded, "Don't worry, uncle, I'll be going back soon, and I'll find a suitable person to deliver it to the village right away."
The village chief smiled happily, "To say that our village is really blessed, you can come here anytime I picked two people in the woods, both noble people. You and Mr. Wen have really helped us a lot."
"Uncle, we have been through life and death together, so we don't say such polite words. I will build a house in the village in the future. , and we have to come and go frequently. You are so polite, just treating me as an outsider."
Mrs. Cui stood up with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Uncle, do you need to plant grain under the fruit trees? I'm afraid sorghum won't work, right? Want to grow millet? Can I also bring some improved seeds to the village?"
"That's great. We are also thinking of going to the nearby villages to find someone to replace them."
Uncle Zhao and other old men all had their eyes brightened after hearing this. , responded repeatedly, "My family is always more supportive than outsiders. The people in the nearby villages seem to be a bit bullying, and I really don't dare to deal with them."
Mrs. Cui nodded, hugged the good news and went back to tell Old Mrs. Li that she was going back to the city. .
Jiayin became playful for a moment and hugged Mrs. Cui's neck without letting go.
Mrs. Cui consulted the old lady, "Auntie, let me take Fu Niu for a walk. She will be close to each other. She will be back in the afternoon."
Mrs. Li nodded her granddaughter's forehead without stopping her.
"Go ahead, don't look at Fu Niu. She knows everything and is very smart. If she makes trouble, just teach her and don't let her fool you, you know?"
Mrs. Cui couldn't help laughing, "I understand. Auntie, let's go back quickly."
Sister-in-law Qiong drove the carriage, but when she got on the carriage, Dongmei also jumped on the other side of the carriage. Seeing Sister-in-law Qiong looking over, she said, "When our Lord Marquis leaves, please give instructions I have to take care of Miss Jiayin at all times."
Mrs. Cui heard this in the carriage and said, "Let's go, it's a good thing to have one more person to help."
The carriage moved forward smoothly, and soon left the gravel beach and entered the official road.
Jiayin was extremely excited. She had short calves and no one was holding her on her back. It was difficult to take a step away from the gravel beach.
Now she finally had the chance to go out for a walk. Along the way, she almost kept clinging to the car window, making Mrs. Cui dumbfounded.
There are two manors that Mrs. Cui has recovered, the largest of which covers an area of more than 300 acres.
This village also has the largest amount of grain stored in it, and there are hundreds of tenants.
In the past few days, Liu Zhiheng has been spending time here with people, counting and registering, for fear that his adopted sister, who is not good at trivial things, will be deceived by the slaves and suffer a loss in the future.
He also knew about the acquaintance of his sister-in-law on the gravel beach.
Therefore, he was a little surprised to see his adopted sister come back so soon.
"Jinrou, you came back very quickly. Is there something going on over there?"
Mrs. Cui smiled and hugged Jiayin and saluted, "My sworn brother guessed it right. I'm coming back to ask for help from my
sworn sister." Liu Zhiheng was curious about what happened to his sworn sister . I begged him, but I was even more curious about the fat girl in my stepsister's arms.
"Sister-in-law, this child is"
Mrs. Cui said, "This is the little granddaughter of the Li family, I like it very much. The Li family is busy, I will help take care of it for a while."
Liu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief quietly, he was afraid that his adopted sister was outside If there is any involvement, the Hou Mansion will take advantage of it, and there will be trouble again in the future.
Jiayin is so smart. Knowing that she was misunderstood, she hugged Mrs. Cui's neck and shouted in a sweet voice, "Sister, aunt, I'm hungry."
Liu Zhiheng's family is full of boys, and he especially likes cuteness. A little girl, not to mention that Jiayin looks great.
Not only is she white, plump and cute, her big eyes are as watery as black grapes, her small mouth is as red as a cherry, and she doesn't have the dark, thin and shrinking appearance of a farm child at all.
"This child is so good-looking. The family must love her very much."
Just as Liu Zhiheng was about to reach out, Jiayin hugged his neck, making him smile happily.
"Oh, oh, this little girl is so cute. I'm afraid she's less than two years old. She speaks so clearly!"
He repeatedly called to the maid he brought from home, "Hurry up and ask Zao Zhang to arrange lunch for you. Let the children cook some meat porridge and a bowl of egg custard. Remember to put less salt!"
Mrs. Cui covered her mouth and laughed when she heard the good news, but her uncle kept shouting and coaxed Liu Zhiheng until he finished eating. Let go.
Hearing that they were looking for a reliable fruit farmer and good seeds over the gravel beach, Liu Zhiheng said, "It's hard for you from Zhuangzi to tell the difference for the time being. After all, it's been in the hands of the Hou Mansion for too long. I'd better ask someone to come back." My village is looking for someone."
"Great, step-brother, I have the same idea." Mrs. Cui was happy, "There are also good seeds, step-brother can also help me find some."
Liu Zhiheng nodded and said, " You have a lot of coarse grains stored in the manor. Do you want to bring some to the gravel beach?"
Mrs. Cui thought for a while and said, "Okay, just bring a thousand kilograms. If there is more, I'm afraid of the village chief. They have other arrangements. In addition, I see that there are mules in the village. My sworn brother can ask someone to help me match a cart. I want to give it to the Li family. The Li family also had a mule before, but it was a pity that it was hit by an arrow and ran away. ."
Jiayin thought of Daqing and subconsciously touched the back of his head.
The fall was so hard that even now, she still gets dizzy occasionally.
