Ye Jianqiu

Soon, Cao Wu came over with a large tray, and said happily: "Hurry up, you just happened to come, today's kitchen cooks a good dish, look, this is fried tender pumpkin shreds, stewed winter melon soup, stewed cabbage slices, and other dishes. There are candied tomatoes!"

Ye Wanzhen was surprised, pointing to the red tomatoes mixed with sugar and said: "What kind of dish is this, it's so pretty!"

Cao Wu was surprised: "Haven't you eaten it?"

"No, big brother has always distinguished between public and private. Our family buys everything from the market, and we have never seen this kind of red food. These tomatoes are really rare. They still look sweet. My second sister eats them the most. Such a sweet dish."

Cao Wu was speechless. These tomatoes were grown in greenhouses. Since the output was not much, they were only supplied to the government office and the farm, and there would be no excess.

"There is white sugar here, which is squeezed from sugar cane. Your brother said that the quality is not good, and the color is yellowish and black. He said that the technology has not yet reached that level. The real white sugar will be as white as snow."

Ye Wanzhen held her chopsticks and said enviously, "Fifth Brother Cao, the conditions here are really good."

"That's not a choice. Although it's not very free to be on the farm, it's absolutely incomparable to anyone in life. It's all because you, brother Jianqiu, have a good heart."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanzhen's tears fell down patter.

Cao Wu was surprised again: "Why are you still crying?"

Ye Wanzhen shook her head, wiped her tears pitifully, and said, "Fifth brother, don't think too much, it's the second sister who feels sad. The second sister always quarrels with the elder brother because of this matter, and the elder brother dislikes me, so he always refuses to answer me."

"why?"

"Second sister, I feel sorry for my parents, and I want my brother to bring some good things from the farm for my parents to try, but my brother disagrees, saying that our family's conditions are good, don't I have money to buy what I want to eat? But the things on this farm , Some of them can’t be bought with money. It’s okay for the second sister and parents to say that they don’t pay attention to food and clothing, but grandpa is over 90 years old. He has never eaten these things in his life. This is about to be buried. I'm dead, the second sister feels sad..."

Cao Wu sat helplessly on the chair.But in his heart, what the little chef does is right, you have money to buy other things to eat, the farm can't buy it because the supply is limited!

Ye Wanzhen continued: "Today I talked to my eldest brother about making uniforms. All the clothes of the legion can be handed over to us, Shui Yunshang, but the eldest brother refused, saying that this is the work of the legion's family. Actually, the second sister I want to cooperate with the family members. Our Shui Yunshang has ready-made machines and venues. The family members can come to work on time every day like us, and finish work on time. Moreover, our master Zhen Niangzi can also give some pointers, and we can also take advantage of the opportunity. What a great opportunity to teach a few more apprentices! Fifth brother, look, the clothes and shoes that the second sister made for you are not good, they are definitely much more detailed than those made by the military subordinates at home, and the materials are also exquisite .”

"Is good……"

"Fifth Brother, Second Sister also saw that the soldiers of the legion are wearing new camouflage military uniforms. The style is quite novel, and it looks majestic when paired with high leather boots. It's just that the colors are not evenly dyed, and some of them are smudged." It's complicated, if we Shui Yunshang do it, it will be better."

"Your fifth brother doesn't understand the matter of uniforms, and he doesn't have the right to control it."

"Second sister, I understand. As long as the fifth brother is not too annoying, he should listen to his sister's complaints. I know the second sister. This place is all run by the elder brother. I don't want to drag the elder brother down. I just want to help the elder brother. That's all, but big brother doesn't listen to me at all if you talk good or bad..."

"When your elder brother comes back, you can discuss it with him."

"But the eldest brother doesn't like the second sister. He thinks I talk too much, and blames me for being spoiled at home. The second sister understands these things, but the second sister can't control her own mouth... Although the second sister talks a lot, but I You are also a reasonable person, fifth brother, tell me, today we two brothers and sisters met for the first time, what is your impression of the second sister? Which of the second sister's words is nonsense and unreasonable?"

"It's, it's okay."

Cao Wu thought to himself, the little cook is right, this second sister is really spoiled, she not only talks a lot but sheds tears at every turn.All the Ye family's words seemed to be told to her alone, croaking like a group of ducks, making him a little dizzy, this little girl is far less cute than his brother!

Ye Wanzhen finished her meal contentedly, and said coquettishly, "Fifth Brother, Second Sister, since I have come so far away, I want to go and see where Eldest Brother lives. I don't know how he lives, and I'm always worried."

"The place where I live... I'm afraid it won't work, no one is allowed to enter here!"

Ye Wanzhen was a little sad, and said pitifully: "Brother is angry with me, I heard that Caishuang and Xiaoxi from the mansion have all come in, and the elder brother even accompanied him for dinner! I...I was so angry that I cried Did my sister really do something wrong? I just want to care about the elder brother, see if it’s cold where he lives, and whether the bedding is enough... Fifth brother, tell me, what’s wrong with me? Eat, eat, no one can think of caring about whether the place where the eldest brother lives suffers..."

After finishing speaking, Lihua sobbed softly again like rain: "I am his own sister, can I still harm him? My sister, I just want to see how my life is going... When I understand my intentions in the future , it will definitely hurt me before it's too late..."

Cao Wu was in a difficult situation. When Ye Wanzhen cried, it was like a little cook crying in front of him!

Cao Wu was a little distressed, so he had to sigh: "The matter between you and your brother still needs to be communicated in private, and the fifth brother is not easy to manage. If you want to go to your big brother's tent, it's not impossible, but you can't run around. Follow I have to be obedient."

——The confused Cao Wu felt that the little cook and his sister were having a temper tantrum!He always loses face in front of the boss Cao Da, isn't he still a family in the end?

"Well, thank you Fifth Brother."

Ye Wanzhen never expected that Cao Wu, who seemed stubborn but soft-hearted, actually agreed, and immediately burst into laughter.

As expected, the farm lived up to its reputation. There were two gates. Ye Wanzhen didn't feel anything special when she opened the first gate.But when Cao Wu pushed open the second gate, Ye Wanzhen couldn't help being stunned by the scenery in front of her!

I saw a neat and wide stone road facing me, and there were tall, thick and straight ginkgo trees on both sides of the road. The shape of the ginkgo leaves was like a pair of small fans dotted on the ginkgo trees.At this time, there was a gust of breeze, and the ginkgo leaves "rustled", as crisp as a wind chime. The breeze blew over the golden leaves flying like butterflies. It is full of yellow, like a colorful golden brocade.Under the tree is a well-manicured lawn with green grass and yellow leaves, like a beautiful oil painting, and every not far away, there is a beautifully shaped small bench with bent legs and angled corners.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!" Ye Wanzhen sighed sincerely, the air here is fresh and the cool breeze blows, it's like another world!

Cao Wu proudly said: "The whole city is full of golden armor, this is the theme of your brother's design. At the beginning, jujube trees were planted by the side of the road, but he regretted it and transplanted all the jujube trees to the orchard. It is said that this place should be changed into a golden avenue for welcoming guests, as soon as you enter the door, you can see the ground covered with gold, which symbolizes the wealth of wealth."

The green leaves turned golden, like a butterfly, like a dream...Ye Wanzhen reached out to catch a small golden fan, tsk tsk endlessly.

Thinking of the little cook scratching his ears and cheeks, Cao Wu was happy. The little cook had imagined a big maple tree covered with red leaves, saying it was "good luck", but Chaoge rejected it, saying that the ground was red like blood. ...

When Ye Wanzhen saw rows of strange greenhouses in the distance, she asked strangely, "Fifth brother, what are those?"

"There are out-of-season vegetables and fruits grown there. Your fifth brother is in charge. When you leave, carry a basket back to grandpa."

"Yeah, that's great, what's there to eat?"

Seeing that the little girl was about to drool, Cao Wu smiled and said: "It's so delicious, I'll pick some for you to try later, the cherries are ripe now, they are as beautiful as red agate, and they can be eaten in large quantities around the Spring Festival It’s harvested, but the quantity is not large, so we can only distribute benefits, so that everyone can try something new.”

"It's great to work on the farm. I can eat rare melons and fruits. Even my second sister wants to work here." Ye Wanzhen also laughed.

She pointed to a smoking building and asked, "Fifth Brother, is that the kitchen?"

"No, in the steel-making workshop, there are craftsmen who are making steel for experiments. Your brother said that in the future, he plans to build a large boiler to heat hot water, and use pipes to circulate the hot water to each dormitory and office. In this way, at night, it will be heated again. It won’t be cold anymore, and you can drink hot water and take a hot bath at any time. Look at those tents, they will be converted into buildings in the future, and they will be single dormitories and offices on our farm.”

"Really! The farm is just amazing."

"Yeah, it changes every day."

Cao Wu's heart was full of passion. When he saw Ye Jianqiu's blueprints and his dreams for the future, his blood was surging, and he wished to realize this ideal immediately.

While talking, the two came to Ye Jianqiu's residence, the original big tent was destroyed by bean vines, and now he lives in a newly built round tent similar to a yurt, surrounded by thick felt, very keep warm.

A large square oilcloth umbrella was propped up in front of the tent, and under it was a small square table covered with a dark blue tie-dyed tablecloth. An unfinished Go game was still placed there, and beside the table were two comfortable bench.It is conceivable that if you are sitting on a chair, all you can touch are the chrysanthemums around you.At this time, the flowers are in full bloom, red like fire, yellow like gold, white like snow, green like jade, pink like clouds, and the white with green, which is even more quiet and elegant.

Ye Jianqiu likes chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums are hermits among flowers. They are elegant, elegant, rich and colorful, exuding a faint fragrance.Chrysanthemums do not seduce people with their delicate appearance, but with their elegant and steadfast character. Ye Jianqiu always sits among the flowers when the sun goes down, drinking chrysanthemum tea leisurely and watching the sunset... …

"Your brother likes to sit here and drink tea the most. He said, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely..."

Cao Wu's eyes were full of admiration, and the little cook sat in the sea of ​​flowers, floating out of the dust like a fairy falling from the sky.

"Unfortunately, it's thanks to Fifth Brother that my sister can come in and have a look." Ye Wanzhen felt sour.

After pushing open the tent door, Cao Wu said shyly, "Wanzhen, you have to change your shoes."

Ye Wanzhen put on the soft wool slippers neatly placed at the door, and walked in curiously.

I saw that the room was covered with thick red woven floral carpets, a large copper stove was built in the middle, a straight chimney stretched to the ventilation hole in the middle of the tent, and a copper pot was placed on the stove, and the heat was blowing out.

On the simple and spacious desk, there is a pot of green asparagus bamboo, a chair covered with animal skins, rows of neat sandalwood bookshelves, and a few pots of golden and fragrant bergamot and green radish. All kinds of drawings and slogans are hung on the walls of the building, and a special elegant fragrance of books blows to the face.

Ye Wanzhen felt a little strange when she saw a simple font on a piece of paper on the table that was completely different from this time and space, but she could guess the general meaning: "After Dongli poured the wine at dusk, there was a dark fragrance filling his sleeves. I can't get over my soul. Wind blows, people are thinner than yellow flowers..."

When she saw the fragrant twig plum blossoms and pots of orchids in the room again, she became more and more sure that this one called Ye Jianqiu was not the same size as the original leaf at all!Whether it's taste, clothing, conversation, knowledge... no one will suddenly undergo such an earth-shaking change!She has been observing outside the farm for a long time, and she has never seen a carriage transporting ginkgo trees!Those towering trees were grown by unusual means!

No wonder I always see you as strange and displeasing, it turns out that you in the shell have long since lost their relationship with me!Since you are not my brother, don't blame me for being ruthless!Ye Wanzhen, who had no feelings for the original owner Ye Xiaoxiao, became colder and firmer in her heart - Mr. Mingqi, I can return to my life!

Ye Wanzhen pretended to touch the quilt on the small bed behind the bookshelf.

"The quilt is too thin, at least two layers should be covered. This is only a thin quilt. It will be cold at night, and the bed is too hard. I will bring some blankets for my brother later. Tsk tsk, just burning the stove at night is not enough Ah, it's still cold, you have to sleep on the kang to keep warm, brother really suffered..."

Surprised, Ye Wanzhen threw herself in front of the pots of beautiful plum blossoms and orchids beside the bed, caressing them and said: "These flowers bloom really well, where did you buy them?"

Cao Wu scratched his head: "I planted it myself!"

"Did brother plant it?"

"Yes."

Ye Wanzhen slapped her hands: "Brother is really good at planting flowers, and I don't know how to grow more flowers to sell. This pot of plum blossoms is probably worth a lot of money. Lady Zhen said, especially this bluegrass, which is even more valuable. One plant can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!"

Cao Wu smiled and said: "Your brother knows that these can make money, but he didn't take part in this project, saying that the conditions for flower maintenance and transportation are not yet mature, and now the farm mainly grows food. And the farm is not short of money, your brother He sold a few prescriptions to our family's Rouzhifang, which specializes in making soaps, soaps, shampoos and other cosmetics, and the monthly commission is quite a lot."

"My brother is so capable! I'm so happy for my brother."

"Yeah, I'm proud of him too."

In the end, Ye Wanzhen left satisfied, not only took away a basket of fresh melons and a pot of orchids, but also stole a few blueprints...
