Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Hefeng was gradually comforted by Gu Yunxi's words and felt a little more relaxed.

At this time, there was a call outside the door. He Feng ran out and opened the door, and saw Master Gao, Master Xie and Shopkeeper Wen all coming.

"Oh, Sister Lu, you are at home! Is Brother Lu here? We are here to buy cold melons from you."

"Sister-in-law Lu, the cold melons we shipped back a few days ago sold so well. In just a few days, several kilograms are not enough to sell."

Hefeng smiled from ear to ear after listening to this, and quickly let them sit in the room.

While entertaining a few people, she told Lu Qingqing to call someone: "Qingqing, go to the fields and call your father back. Tell him that Mr. Gao and the others are here."

Lu Qingqing responded and walked out.

Her well-behaved and obedient manner made Mr. Gao envious.

"Sister-in-law Lu, I really envy you. You have such a well-behaved and obedient daughter. Unlike me, our family is full of brats. I wish you didn't make me mad to death."

Mr. Gao was considered a wealthy man in the county town, but he still refused to take concubines. He had three sons with his first wife, but no daughters.

Seeing Lu Qingqing at this time, he was filled with envy. It was a pity that his first wife had passed away, otherwise he could have considered having another daughter.

When He Feng heard Master Gao praising Lu Qingqing, he felt happy and said with a smile: "Our Qingqing is really obedient. With so many children, she is the last thing I need to worry about. My daughter is considerate."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Gao became even more bitter.

well! Since I don’t have a daughter, how about a daughter-in-law?

I don’t know when Zongwang of his family will get a wife? well! Mr. Gao felt bitter.

While several people were talking, Father Lu came back from outside. After meeting, there was another round of greetings.

Mr. Gao was a cheerful man and said, "Brother Lu, we are here this time to continue buying cold melons with you. How many do you have left?"

Not to be outdone, Mr. Jie quickly said, "And me, Brother Lu, I want as much as I want this time."

Shopkeeper Wen was very anxious when he heard this. How could he sell them all to the knowledgeable family?

"Brother Lu, the amount I need here is not small, do you think?"

When Father Lu saw this, he knew that the batch in front of them should have been sold at a good price.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I still have a few acres of melons left in my melon field. I can probably pick more than 10,000 kilograms of melons."

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved. It's good that this trip was not in vain.

However, in a flash, Father Lu said again: "However, I still have to leave some here for Shopkeeper Wu of the restaurant in the town."

Shopkeeper Wu and the others also knew each other, and they were together last time. When they heard this, they were heartbroken. They only had more than 10,000 kilograms, and they had to leave some for shopkeeper Wu.

However, less is better than nothing.

Looking at the entire Ningchuan Mansion, it is estimated that no one can grow such delicious cold melons like the Lu family.

As long as you buy it, you've earned it.

They all negotiated with Father Lu and left a deposit before returning home.

Father Lu asked them to come tomorrow afternoon to move the melons.

After they left, Father Lu quickly went to Lu Yuanping and asked him to find someone to pick melons tomorrow morning. In addition, he notified the people on duty that tomorrow would be the last day.

After that, we have to settle their wages.

When Lu Yuanping heard the news, he quickly went to find someone.

In addition, Father Lu went door-to-door to buy a lot of sacks. With his experience in picking melons before, he knew how many sacks were needed to pick so many melons.

Almost all the sacks are made by the villagers themselves. They cut the sacks directly from the mountains and fields and weave them back. It costs no money, but only requires some effort.

When the people in the village learned that sacks could still be sold for money, they all quickly took out the sacks at home. They paid two cents each, and many families sold them for ten to eight cents.

Father Lu collected hundreds of them, pulled a wheelbarrow, and transported the sacks directly to the melon field, placed them in a shed in the melon field, and locked them up.

When he returned home, Lu Yuanping was already looking for him.

"Uncle, I have already called for everyone, and everyone has agreed to come to pick melons. They even asked if they would like to join us. Some people who have never been here before also want to come."

Lu Yuanping said, then paused: "However, I refused and told them to come back when needed in the future."

Father Lu nodded with satisfaction. His nephew was becoming more and more mature in his work.

From now on, having him take care of the melon fields and medicine fields will really make me feel more at ease.

"Well, Yuanping, you did a good job!"

"After you finish picking the melons tomorrow, come to our house for dinner. Let your parents, your wife, and those from as far away as Chengdu come with you."

Father Lu thought that although he had employed Lu Yuanping and Lu Yuancheng in his family's melon field for so long, the village chief's family had also provided a lot of help and care to their family.

When the work is done tomorrow, let the child's mother prepare some good wine and food to entertain them.

Lu Yuanping smiled, nodded, and went back.

On the other side, He Feng also heard from Father Lu that he wanted to treat the village chief's family to a meal. On the morning of the next day, after selling buns in the county town, he bought a lot of vegetables at the county town market, hired a carriage and went directly go home.

After arriving home, He Feng did not take any time off. He ordered Lu Qingqing to handle the ingredients while he went to the melon field to help pick melons.

Gu Yunxi felt that her stomach was moving a lot today. She was afraid of something unexpected, so she did not go to the melon field. Instead, she stayed at home and watched Lu Qingqing go in and out, busy.

Gu Yunxi frowned when he saw that everyone in the family was so busy that they couldn't even touch the ground, wondering if the family was going to buy two wives back.

Also, she wanted to buy another carriage before, so that her mother-in-law would not have to hire a carriage to go home when her father-in-law and mother-in-law were not together. "

This is very inconvenient, and it’s not like the family doesn’t have the ability, nor can it hold on to the money.

Gu Yunxi thought to himself that he would wait until Father Lu came back in the evening and ask him again.

In this way, they waited until the afternoon, when Mr. Gao, Mr. Xie, and shopkeeper Wen all came to carry the cold melons and settled the money. Then Mr. Lu and He Feng returned home to have lunch.

Father Lu was so tired that he fell asleep without changing his clothes after eating.

When he woke up, it was already early in the morning and the sky was getting dark. He got up in a hurry and walked to the yard.

He Feng and Lu Qingqing were busy preparing to cook. Sister-in-law Liang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, also came to help light the fire in the kitchen.

Gu Yunxi was also sitting next to her, talking to Sister-in-law Liang. The two of them got along quite well and laughed from time to time.

"Dad, are you awake? How are you? Are you still tired?" He Feng asked with concern.

Father Lu shook his head and joked to himself with a smile: "I'm really old. I remember back when I carried two pigs weighing several hundred kilograms from the beginning of the village to the end of the village and came back as if nothing happened."

"And now, I just helped carry melons in the morning, and I'm so tired! Alas!"
