back to the field

After Tang Qingman came back from the county seat, he sat down with Tang Sixian and Qin Zhen and seriously discussed the next arrangements.

Tang Sixian's fish pond signed a contract with Taifeng Building and Yongchun Building to provide them with fish for a year.Now there are still several months before the appointment is over, so the fish still have to continue to be raised, and they still have to be raised with spiritual springs, otherwise the growth rate of the fry will be the same as that of ordinary fish, and there will be no enough fish for them.

Tang Sixian has not yet fully understood the full function of Lingquan and space. The only thing that has been verified is that it is volatile like all liquids, but it is difficult to be volatile, that is to say, the speed of volatilization will be much slower.

With this foundation, Tang Sixian can let others take care of the fish pond, and she will send some spiritual springs back every rest day.

The key is that the person she is looking for must be a reliable person——Liao Sanlang now has his own business, and although it takes a lot of effort to sell fish balls, their family's life is much better than before, Tang Sixian is also embarrassed trouble him again.

Li San often hangs around in front of her, but because he didn't complete the task that Tang Sixian gave him that time, he didn't find out many things clearly or just heard the rumors and took them to be true, so he came back and told her.In the end, she was exposed by her, so she ran away in despair, and only after Tang Sixian was about to leave the official position did she come back with a shy face.

Tang Sixian dared not use Li San even if he used anyone.

Hu Erlang could be hired, but Tang Sixian didn't have a particularly good relationship with him, and he didn't dare to fully trust his character, so he was also removed from the list.

As for Liang Beiwang, if Tang Sixian wants to cooperate with him in fish farming, he can trust him.But after all, he is also a son of a rich family, and he will not touch fish farming. If he asks his family's servants to do the work, he can't say what the effect will be.

After thinking about it, Tang Sixian felt that she could only rely on her father-in-law. After all, there was no one in this village who was more reliable and trustworthy than him.

"But my father-in-law and mother-in-law are very busy on weekdays, and I'm worried they won't be able to get away." Tang Sixian said to Qin Zhen, "Why don't I hire someone to help my father-in-law watch over the fish pond on weekdays so that nothing goes wrong with the fish pond? That's it."

Qin Zhen thought about it and said: "If you hire one more person, you will spend one or two more money a month. If you still plan to raise fish together with Mr. Liang Erlang, you might as well entrust him with the fish farming and let you prepare the fish feed. Let Dad supervise it again. As for your small fish pond, you can feed it once or twice a day, and Mom and Dad can handle it."

"Then I'll bother my father-in-law later."

Tang Qingman looked at the sand turtle that was quietly staying in the shade of the courtyard, and asked, "Then what should I do with this green turtle, as well as the house and fields?"

"Tian... It shouldn't be difficult to hire someone to farm. I have one day off every seven days. When I can come back to deliver fish feed, I can take a look at the situation of the field. The house is about to be built, and I will move back when the time comes. I heard that the tea farm Every winter I have a lot of leisure, and I will bring you back to spend the winter together, anyway, it’s not too far away. As for this little green, when I go to Raozhou to do business in two days, I will find a slightly bigger house.”

After officially taking office, in addition to the salary of the military officer, Tang Sixian can also have the monthly salary of the prison officer, etc. This part of the money can barely support three people, but if he wants to make life better and better, he still has to Rely on sideline business development.

"It would be great if these spiritual springs could improve the quality of water and soil!" Tang Sixian muttered in her heart. If it had this effect, she would not have to bother to feed fish fry with spiritual springs every day, as long as the fish were raised in fish ponds, Using the water from the fish pond to irrigate the fields can save a lot of trouble.

However, it is God's blessing that she obtained this strange spiritual spring space, so how can she think too much?

"There is also Zhenniang's orchard. If these are left to the Qin family to take care of, they will inevitably be overwhelmed." Tang Qingman gritted his teeth, "Why don't I stay in the village!"

"Sister, what are you talking about? How could we leave you alone!" Downs said enviously.

"Don't worry about the orchard. After all, I'm not an official. I can come back anytime. Besides, the orchard will be busy in autumn and winter. If Ah Tang doesn't worry about me, he can come back with me."

Qin Zhen has never been worried about these things. Seeing that she had already made plans, Tang Qingman withdrew his idea of ​​staying here alone.

After the preliminary agreement on the matter, Tang Sixian went to find Qin Yu.Even though she had a thick skin and was ready to give money, she couldn't directly ask Qin Yu for help. She said: "My father-in-law has lived in Zhenqian Village for many years, and has connections and prestige. I want to ask my father-in-law to help me find a housekeeper. Honesty and hard work will do. I don’t know if my father-in-law can recommend someone?”

Qin Yu said: "Zhang Hu meets your requirements, but..." He glanced at Tang Sixian.

Tang Sixian didn't directly say that she didn't want to see Zhang Hu, but said: "The Zhang family has rented so much land from the father-in-law, and their family is often overwhelmed. If I hire Zhang Hu, the Zhang family will have one less person to work. , the work in the field will be delayed, and the field will be abandoned, and it will be the father-in-law who suffers in the end!"

"Your reason is very high-sounding. In my opinion, you don't need to find any butler. I will take care of this little thing for you."

"How can this work? My father-in-law still has to work in the fields on weekdays. If I delay my own affairs because of my affairs, I will feel very sorry."

Qin Yu said: "In the past, I went to the land in person to save some money. I saved Dalang's dowry, travel expenses to Beijing for the exam, and Zhenniang's dowry. Now that Zhenniang is married, Dalang's dowry has also been paid, and there are at least two more years left. It will take three years to go to Beijing again to catch the exam, so the money is looser and I can hire more people to work."

Tang Sixian thought for a moment, and said seriously: "My father-in-law, I have no father or mother. Since I am married to my mother-in-law, I should treat you and your mother-in-law as my own parents. So I should serve you as my own parents." , if I pay the money for hiring people."

Her words came from the bottom of her heart, and Qin Yu was quite moved, but her face was still stern, and she said with disgust: "Don't say too much, it's good if you pay someone to work for me, but others will treat you with you." Compared with Dalang, this is completely unnecessary."

Tang Sixian wanted to say something else, but Qin Yu waved his hand and changed the subject: "Since you're here, I happen to have something else to discuss with you."

"My husband, please tell me."

"Well, it's like this. My nephew Changjie begged his mother, that is, my sister, to come to me to help pull a red thread. I just want to ask your elder sister if she is interested."

When Tang Sixian heard that Yun Changjie had entrusted his father-in-law to spy on her and Tang Qingman, he asked, "Does he want to propose marriage?"

"Of course I have this idea, but he also knows that you are now an official, and he still has the problem of stuttering. He has climbed up your family, so he dare not rush to propose marriage, just let me ask you what you think. If If your elder sister didn't mean it, then it should be nothing."

Tang Sixian murmured a lot of bad things about Yun Changjie in her heart, but she still had to go back and ask Tang Qingman what she meant, and said, "I'll go back and tell my sister. If she agrees, I won't have any objections. If she doesn't agree……"

"Okay, then go back and ask her first."

After Tang Sixian went back, he didn't tell Tang Qingman immediately, but first asked Qin Zhen about Yun Changjie's specific situation.

Qin Zhen knew that she would not inquire about a person for no reason, and this person was her cousin.She guessed the general idea of ​​the matter, and said: "You know that Cousin Yun works as a framer at Chen's classics store. Because of his good craftsmanship, many people like to ask him to frame paintings and calligraphy, and those people are also generous, so he The monthly salary is about [-] yuan."

In this era when a salary of [-] yuan is common, Yun Changjie can earn several times the salary by virtue of his craftsmanship, which is quite popular in the eyes of the world.If it weren't for Yun Changjie's stuttering problem and Qin Lu's high demands on his daughter-in-law, he might have gotten married before meeting Tang Qingman.

"But does your aunt have high demands on her daughter-in-law?" Tang Sixian was most afraid of being wronged by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after Tang Qingman married.

"At least you need to be well-off, right, and Cousin Yun is the eldest son. As the eldest bride, he will receive more attention."

Qin Zhen spoke euphemistically, but Tang Sixian could already imagine that after Qin Zhen married, he would serve his in-laws, take care of his younger siblings, and be a good wife and mother to Yun Changjie.

She asked: "If I say that I don't want sister to marry, my wife won't blame me?"

"You have your own considerations, why should I blame you?"

"Then why don't you keep this matter from sister!"

Qin Zhen laughed and said: "If you can hide it, you can hide it. I will pretend that I have never heard of this matter. If Qingman finds out by then, you will be responsible for the consequences."

"Miss, you remind me of the proverb 'Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately'."

Tang Sixian teased her every day, but Qin Zhen didn't follow her joke this time, but said: "Since I have chosen you, I have recognized you, and you are the only one in this life. If there is trouble, I will join hands with you Face it. But if you blame me..."

She paused, but in the end she didn't say anything harsh.

Downs was a little ashamed.She has been traveling for nearly a year, and she is still used to judging the people at this time with modern thinking, and the oaths of "unchanging from generation to generation" are not reliable in her consciousness.But for Qin Zhen, making an oath is not a child's play. If you give up your heart, unless the other party betrays her, then she will be sure of it for the rest of her life.

Tang Sixian put away his carefree posture, and said: "If I fail you, then tell me to repeat the nightmare that I fear in my heart every night."

Qin Zhen rolled his eyes.She prepared some medicinal soup for Tang Sixian, and after a few days of conditioning, she finally had fewer nightmares, but she was so open-minded and took it as an oath.If she is really allowed to keep her vow, wouldn't it be a waste of all my hard work?

After poking Tang Sixian on the forehead, Qin Zhen said, "Do you want to drink a few more bowls of anti-shock and calming medicinal soup?"

Tang Sixian: "..."

The sensationalism is well done, why do you have to talk about such a realistic issue?Her wife's thinking is more like a science student than hers.

-

In the end, Tang Sixian and Qin Zhen didn't hide from Tang Qingman for too long. They explained the situation of the Yun family to her. Tang Qingman subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking of the recent rumors, she hesitated for a while.

Qin Zhen has been her best friend for a year at least, and he also has some understanding of her mind.Comforting her, he said: "Ah Tang, if you are worried that you will be affected by rumors if you continue to live with us, then there is no need. We don't take those rumors to heart. The most important thing is, 'You live with us' and Compared with 'marriage with Cousin Yun', whichever choice will make you happier, you will choose whichever way."

Tang Sixian also nodded in agreement: "Yes, although I am very happy that my sister can make up her own mind, if you feel unhappy after you get married, then I will feel that my choice is wrong. I hope my sister will not be affected by external pressure. And ignore what's really going on in your heart."

After their reassurance, Tang Qingman's mood brightened a lot. She said: "I am not familiar with Yun Dalang, and I don't know much about his behavior. If it is said that I have never had a relationship with a child, so I will not consider his marriage proposal for the time being." .”

"Then I'll help you reject my father-in-law."

Tang Qingman stopped her: "I'll just go and talk to my aunt myself. Some things may be more appropriate for me to say."

"also."

Qin Zhen accompanied Tang Qingman back to Qin's house to look for Mrs. Su, who was not surprised when she saw that she rejected Yun Changjie, said: "It is Changjie who is not blessed, and I will show my attitude for you."

After chatting with Tang Qingman, Mrs. Su took Qin Zhen to chat for a while, and brought out a new shirt for her.

Qin Zhen didn't look like he was wearing it for himself, Su said: "These are clothes made for Dong Chuang. After he takes office, he must have a lot of entertainment. If he doesn't have one or two decent clothes on him, I'm afraid it will make people feel uncomfortable." A joke. Although you can weave cloth and be a female celebrity, you don’t have the temperament to make clothes, shoes and socks for others, so my mother made it for you in your free time, and you take it back for him.”

Qin Zhen's eyes were sour, and there was a smile on his mouth: "Mother, you are so kind to her, she might get carried away for a while again."

"Don't I know him yet? How can I be proud of him! Okay, there is still a month before you take office, and you have a lot of things to take care of and explain, so I won't delay you, go back quickly!"

As Su said, Tang Sixian took time to go to Raozhou to manage, and he would not come back in a few days.It just so happened that their new home was being built as the craftsmen rushed to work, and it was up to Qin Zhen and Tang Qingman to take care of the purchase of furniture.

Looking at their new home, Tang Qingman didn't want to leave for a moment. After all, this was the first spacious, clean and comfortable house she and Tang Sixian owned after returning to their hometown.

She found Qin Zhen and asked, "Miss Zhen, can you paint and calligraphy? It doesn't have to be exquisite, just being able to draw an outline is enough."

Qin Zhen asked back: "What do you want to paint?"

"I want to paint this house."

Qin Zhen didn't know what she was doing to draw this house, but he still picked up a pen to help her draw a general idea.Because Qin Zhen has never learned it, the painting is a bit ugly.She was also a little embarrassed: "Let's paint again!"

Tang Qing said with satisfaction: "Ms. Zhen, this is enough!"

After speaking, she waited for the ink to dry before putting the paper away.

The next day, after Qin Zhen went to find a carpenter in a nearby village to make furniture, Tang Qingman went out with a basket.She quietly came to Tang Sixian's tomb to offer incense to him, and told him: "My sister is going to live in Raozhou for a while, maybe she may not be able to come back to worship you for a long time...Our home is finished, you Look, it's big and spacious, with many rooms and roof tiles, so you don't have to worry about my poor life..."

She was worried that Qin Zhen would be worried if he would not see her when he went back, so she stopped talking, burned the paper for him, and returned to the village.

Little did she know, not long after she left, Qin Zhen appeared on this hillside. She observed the surrounding tombs, but there were no traces of people coming to worship. Incense was still burning in front of the nameless tomb, and there was paper ashes on it.

"Whose tomb is this, why did Ah Tang come to worship him/her?"

The author has something to say: Why do you say that some people’s vests will fall off the second time after the first time? After reading this chapter, do you know why?
