Red House Farm Stay

Wang Gou'er stopped talking and squatted on the ground smoking his long pipe. Grandma Liu looked at her daughter, "Then tell me, what should we do?"

"It's not me who makes decisions in this family, how do I know." Liu said aggrievedly.

Grandma Liu stumbled, "If you can't figure it out, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's discuss it after Ban'er comes back. If he is not willing, we can think of another place." Wang Gou'er made a decision, and everyone was speechless.

It doesn't matter whether the family is old or young. Where can I live?It's just that Ban'er will be looking for a wife in the future, and maybe he still needs to study, so where he lives has the greatest influence on him.

"Okay, hurry up and turn over the corn in the backyard to dry it evenly." Grandma Liu stood up and greeted the women in the family to the backyard. It was full.If it weren't for the three cars being towed away, they wouldn't be able to pile up.

"When it's dried in the sun, I'll store all the ground cornmeal. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it all this year." Grandma Liu touched the corn cobs, and her dim, almost dull eyes seemed to brighten a lot.

"Miss Zhuo's rice is about to be harvested." Qing'er pointed to the rice seeds on the ground and said proudly.

"Really, how come it grows so fast." Looking at the rice in the field, Mrs. Liu thought, if it can produce the same yield as corn, that would be great.But this idea was only flashed, and she was dismissed by herself.It took a lot of effort to grow fast, if you can still knot more, then you will become a monster.

That night, when Ban'er came back and heard it, he nodded, "I just bought another piece of land in Xiaodongshan, built a house, and can also dig a well, which is more convenient than now."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu became anxious, "Then what will you do when you study in the future?" He thought in his heart that he wanted his son to go back to school again.

"I can read by myself. The front is the house, and the back is the land. It saves time on the road. Why can't I read. I will pick it up first, and then I will go to inquire later. It is not only Xianghe Village that has a master. The other end of Xiaodongshan is the county. Mrs. Ling's orchard used to be Da Zhuangzi, so why can't I find a private school?"

"You've already inquired about it." When Liu heard that her son had inquired about it, her heart was half-set.

"Well, the next door is not an ordinary family. If I don't ask clearly, I'm afraid I will offend other people's taboos. Besides, if I live in the past, I might go to the Jiu Gongzi's house. If you are willing to rent the land to us to serve, that is also a benefit."

Jiu Gongzi's colorful sweet peppers are not at ease to be handed over to anyone, but isn't it the most assured to be handed over to the Wang family?

Only then did Liu's worry turn into joy, "What Ban'er said is, why didn't I expect that, it's better to be close to those big villages than to rely on Liu's village."

The whole family watched Ban'er silently and turned Liu Shi around with a few words, Jia Zhuo had already given Ban'er a thumbs up in his heart.What is one thing down one thing, this is it.

Mrs. Liu is really not a bad person, but she has an unpleasant temper, and she has no heart. It is not enough to say that she is stupid, but it is true to say that she is not smart.

"Okay, okay, now that it's decided, let's do it quickly." Grandma Liu is an actionist, and she wants to rush to do it.

"Don't worry, buy the land first, then dig the well, and then decide the location after the water comes out. You also need to buy materials and hire people. How can you hire people now. After the autumn harvest, when you have all the people, let's focus on the house." Wang Gou'er thought clearly, and while going out, he exchanged the bank notes for five 100 taels.

I handed two to Grandma Liu, kept one for myself, gave one to Mrs. Liu, and one to Jia Zhuo.

"Keep it separately, in case something happens, it won't be gone." Wang Gou'er was thoughtful.

As soon as she heard that the well was going to be drilled, Qing'er immediately yearned for it: "By next summer, I will be able to harvest watermelons in the well."

"You don't need to carry water every day." Jia Zhuo subconsciously rubbed her shoulders. Although most of the work of carrying water is done by boarders, she and Qing'er will also work hard to carry water during busy farming seasons in order to reduce everyone's burden. .After a long time, her shoulders became swollen and painful, and she was worried that she would be shortened.

In Grandma Liu's small courtyard, there was a burst of laughter, all looking forward to the arrival of next year soon.

Within a few days, Master Jiu called his servant girl to come over and asked Jia Zhuo if he had any fresh corn.Jia Zhuo saw that she was an unfamiliar maid, not the Wan Qing who often followed the Ninth Young Master, so she asked, "This elder sister is unfamiliar, why didn't Sister Wan Qing come here?"

"Young Master wanted to ask Sister Wanqing to come, but she said she was afraid of seeing the Liu family, so Young Master called your servants. Miss Zhuo, you are welcome. My name is Xiaocai, so you can just call me by my name." Let's go." Xiao Cai looks extremely sweet, when she smiles, her eyes are crooked, looking festive.

"Sister Xiaocai came in and sat down. After closing the door, I wanted a cup of rough tea." Jia Zhuo led Xiaocai to sit down and poured tea for her.

"Young master ordered three carts last time, and you've eaten them all." Jia Zhuo asked her.

"Our young master is giving it away, and it took a whole day to give it away, but the coachman was exhausted." Xiao Cai pursed her lips and smiled.

"This is not easy to store." It's okay not to peel the skin, but if the skin is peeled, it will soon become stale.

"We said the same thing, but who is our young master? He put ice on the bottom, put ten on top, said it was perfect, and gave a box to each of the people who bought our colorful sweet peppers. It is the Jun family. If you are so angry, you still accept it."

"Oh, why is the Jun family so angry?" What was that like, Jia Zhuo also wanted to know, what served Xiao Cai was peeled fruit corn, fried with some oil, and then poured into his mouth with a small spoon deliver.

Xiao Cai even ate two spoonfuls, her cheeks puffed up.Seeing that Jia Zhuo is easy to talk to, I am also happy to chat with her.

"Miss Jun's family couldn't find anyone giving bell peppers anywhere, but our young master brought out sweet peppers for sale. There were red and yellow ones, and they looked better than hers. They were round and round, like lanterns. I don't know how festive it is. Miss Jun's family stomped her feet angrily, and chased our ninth son to ask, if she didn't find out why, she was going crazy with anger. "

Xiao Cai thought it was funny when she thought of the way Miss Jun stomped her feet and pointed at Mr. Jiu's nose to scold him.

"Pfft, Miss Jun's family is really interesting. Everyone likes the corn they sent." Jia Zhuo asked calmly.

"I like it, I like it, I sent my family to ask, I want to buy it." Xiao Cai ate another spoonful, the corn at home, several sisters tasted it, and it was her turn that there was only half of it, and she hadn't tasted it yet. It's gone, where can I enjoy myself.

"Fresh corn can't be stored for a few days. When it's time to recycle it, I'll ask you to come over and negotiate. Now there's only cornmeal. I'll bring you some back. It's just that we grind it coarsely. I'm afraid it will be eaten by your son. It has to be finer."

Xiao Cai was very disappointed when she heard what Jia Zhuo said.But when Jia Zhuo took her to the backyard, he could only sigh when he saw the corn that had been husked and ready to be ground.

The ground cornmeal was packed into a bag, and another bag of maltose was packed, "We don't have anything to treat, so take it to Sister Xiaocai Tiantianzui."

Things are getting better at home, Mrs. Liu doesn't treat her children harshly, and often buys snacks for them to eat.Jia Zhuo wrapped a bag for Xiaocai, although Xiaocai is not necessarily rare, it is always the principle of hospitality.

"Thank you, Miss Xiaozhuo. I'll call our young master back then." Xiao Cai didn't come alone. There was also an uncle driving a car. I don't know if she was ordered not to enter the courtyard. Er brought him a bowl of tea and went out for him to drink.

Xiaocai told the uncle who was driving the car to carry the bag of cornmeal, and waved a handkerchief to say goodbye to Jia Zhuo and Qing'er.

Grandma Liu was taking a nap, the old man didn't sleep much, and it was rare for him to sleep deeply, so Jia Zhuo didn't wake up grandma because of Xiao Cai's matter, and only received him with Qing'er.

"Sister, is she really just a girl who waits on others?" Qing'er's address to Jia Zhuo has evolved from "Sister Xiaozhuo" to "Sister Xiaozhuo" to the current "Sister".

"Well, although the maids of rich families are doing well, what's the use of not being free. The master's family is fine, and there is still a safe meal to eat. If the master's house is in trouble, no one can escape." Jia Zhuo sighed softly. Take a breath.

It was only then that Qing'er remembered that Jia Zhuo used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, so it was obvious that she had caused her sadness.In a moment of desperation, he burst into tears and tugged on Jia Zhuo's sleeve, "Sister, I didn't mean to."

"Fool, you think I'm sad about the past. I didn't have good brothers and sisters before. Now I have them all at once. I'm happier than before." Jia Zhuo patted her head.

"Really." Qing'er laughed through her tears, and wiped away her tears embarrassedly.

"Of course it's true. When did I tell a lie?"

"Yes, my sister said that I will live in a big house, and we can live in a big house next year." Qing'er thought, Jia Zhuo also said that she would not let her starve, and she is no longer hungry now.

The little Qing'er has been determined, and she has the thought of eating meat with her sister.

Within two days, Xiao Cai came again, it was a return gift for Jiu Gongzi's cornmeal last time.

"The people in the kitchen have ground it several times. According to what Miss Zhuo said, they mixed white flour and made cornmeal pastry. It was really delicious. Our son ate several at a time, and said while eating, this It's only food for people to eat. It provoked several elder sisters to scold me, I dare say that what we ate before is not for people to eat." After Xiaocai finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled.

Jia Zhuo was also funny, she knew that Xiao Cai must be ignorant of the inside story, and thought that Young Master Ninth was comparing himself with the former white-faced pastry.In fact, he ate coarsely ground cornmeal in Xiaodongshan and made his voice so loud, he was comparing with this.

"Young master said that the color of these few pieces of material is not what he likes, so he simply gave you to make clothes. In fact..." Xiaocai turned her head and saw that the coachman did not come in, she lowered her voice and said: "Young master specially ordered the steward to buy it. of."
