The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 64
Li Qinghe didn’t intend to conceal it. After all, if this sweet potato planting method were spread, many people would not be hungry. This is a good thing. Just about to say it, I was interrupted by this.
This person seems very dissatisfied with her.
In the past, the villagers said that Zhou’s family was poor, but now, no one can say such a thing. The boss of Zhou sells tofu every day in the morning and returns at night. It is certain to make money. The second child went to Li’s family to have a baby and had a good life, not to mention the third child. The girl who married was a girl from the town. Not to mention the chickens and ducks in the full moon. The pigs are half heads, and the fourth is better. Now, the large area and the bright blue brick houses are not fake. There are so many chickens and the pond in front of them. You don’t need to buy fish or eggs.
Zhou’s mother took her daughter to live by herself, and she had several sons who respected her from time to time, and life could not be said to be sad.
The Zhou family got up, and there were a lot of people who said sour words in the end, but there weren’t any such straightforward ones.
Li Qinghe didn’t bother to look at her, and only smiled at Mother Li, “You don’t need many seeds. And you only need to buy this seed once, and you can plant it yourself every year.”
“Really?” Mother Li was very surprised, “Wait next year, I’ll come to help you plant it, you have to teach me how to plant it.”
Li Qinghe smiled and nodded, and pointed his finger at the tender tip of the sweet potato sprouts, “This is still edible, and I can take it back and fry it. It is also a dish. I have tried it. You can feed pigs and chickens when you are old.”
Hearing that, Mother Li was not polite anymore, she reached out and pinched, and the woman over there pinched too, “I’ll also pinch some and go back and try.”
Li Qinghe smiled, “I’m still going to pinch it to sell, a penny. Someone should ask for it.”
Mother Li’s eyes turned, she didn’t understand what she meant, and said with a smile, “Don’t say go to town, even in the village. Someone should ask for it. I will bring you copper plates later. If the young crops like to eat, I will pay Come buy.”
When she heard that she was asking for a copper plate, the woman had already pinched a few in her hand and hurriedly stuffed it into Mother Li’s hand, “It’s almost the same for the pigs. I don’t like this.”
After the stuffing was over, people quickly got up and left.
Seeing her walking away, Li Qinghe asked in a low voice, “Who is this?”
Mother Li sneered, “I just moved from the village. It is said to be from the Liu family. I bought the house from the Yang family. I just came down from the mountain and just happened to come and see your pond. Don’t bother, the village is like that. Many people, how can you know everyone?”
After a pinch, she got up and said with a smile, “Unexpectedly, you are quite clever. This kind of person can’t let her take advantage. After saying bad things, she still eats vegetables. She is not beautiful.”
Li Qinghe smiled and shook his head, “Auntie, if you like it after eating, you can pinch it again. We can’t eat much for such a large piece, so I can only feed the pigs.”
After that day, many people in the village knew that their family had grown a large slice of sweet potatoes, and some people close to them would come and pick them up to eat as a vegetable, such as Li Fu and Yu Yan.
Li Fu came over, sometimes he would help for a long time before returning. And Yu Yan, really came out to relax and rest her eyes. “I know that Qian Lai Xing, I will always meet him during my time when I go out.”
Li Qinghe was a little surprised, “You mean he stared at you?”
“I can’t tell you.” Yu Yan frowned. “Actually, I don’t think anyone is staring at our house, but basically every time I go to town, either in town or on the way back, I can meet him. Not going out.”
Li Qinghe frowned, “You really have to be more careful, where you can let the third aunt accompany you.” He laughed teasingly, “That one is a quasi-talent, don’t you be impressed?”
Yu Yan shook her head, “He doesn’t look good. Let’s talk about encounters a few times. I am too deliberate. I am a bit annoying. This marry can’t just look at fame. I still prefer to look at the face. I have to be kind and talented. It must be good.”
Speaking of scholars, this time the news of the county seat has been sent back, but Hu Yanxi still failed to get it, and the two of them had packed their things and returned. They couldn’t live in the county seat.
Not only was the county town unable to live in, but after the two came back, they moved directly to Li’s house. According to Hu Yanxi’s words, he was too impatient, and he wrote articles that did not suit the examiner’s appetite. He wanted to return to the basics and return to a quiet environment to eat. Rough tea and light rice, watching Yunjuanyunshu, listening to **** and dog barking, return to simplicity and calm the heart.
According to Li Qinghe, these two came back to live and save food and drink. After all, living in the town, whether it’s rice, meat, or salt, you have to buy it yourself, but when it comes to Li’s house, Li Fu will never ask his daughter and son-in-law for money, right?
She wanted to take care of it, but Li Fu was willing, and after Zhao Wanwan came back, he could still have a hot meal, she didn’t bother to say it.
The sweet potatoes in the field are getting bigger and bigger. Li Qinghe and the two have already started digging, and they have not thrown out the sweet potato sprouts. They all cut and dried them. The two of them are very busy here, but Zhou Mu came to help, and she came The next day, Li Fu also came.
With two more people, the work was very different. Four people worked for seven or eight days before they finally dug them all back and put them in the cellar. It’s already autumn now, and the autumn harvest is about to happen in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, the sweet potatoes will be earlier. If they get together, it will be really busy.
Now many people in the village are preparing for the autumn harvest, sharpening their knives, leveling the yard and other tasks. After Li Fu was busy, he hurried back.
This year’s autumn harvest, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe are also very busy, covering a full eight acres of land. Although the whole piece of barley is not like other people’s houses, in fact, this year’s wheat ears are bigger than last year, and it’s even more than last year’s harvest. It’s better. In the eyes of others, such as Li Fu, he said that the weather this year was good, and he didn’t think it was due to the wide-ranging trip. It is worth mentioning that the three acres of land that Li Qinghe dug up and covered with mulch earlier, compared with Li Fu and their fertile land, yielded no less.
Because there are many people in the village who want to buy wasteland recently, many people are actually paying attention to the wasteland here. Seeing the wheat ears, many people rushed to find the village head. The autumn harvest was not over yet. The wasteland around Wangcun Village had been measured, and even the mountains farther away were bought.
After Li Qinghe had dried the wheat, he knew about it. She didn’t even think about buying more land. If she only grows it herself, this ten acres of land is actually enough for the two of them. That’s it, there are not a few days of free time throughout the year, and she has to go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt, fish in the pond. Also take time to sell.
Speaking of fish, the fish in the pond should be sold again. They fished the fish and went back to the county town. It took five days to go back and forth.
They didn’t rest since they were digging sweet potatoes. After returning from the county seat, they slept sturdily for two days before they were relieved.
After slowing down, she returned to Li’s house with the cloth she gave to Li Fubei in the county town. It was a long time since she came back. The yard has changed a lot. The yard that was cleaned before now has a few more potted plants, a little more elegant and big trees. The stone table underneath was used to eat, but now there is a tea set on it, which looks quite elegant.
At the stone table, there was a more elegant person than a tea set, Hu Yanxi.
It is still a skill that he can be so leisurely when the villagers are busy with the autumn harvest. In Li Fu’s land, he was the only one working this year, and today Zhou Chengkang has carried a knife to help.
With a book in his hand, he raised his head when he heard the movement, “Sister is back.”
Li Qinghe nodded, Zhao Wanwan heard the voice and came out of the house, “Sister, I heard that you went to the county again. Is it fun?”
“We’re not going to play.” Li Qinghe handed her the cloth in her hand, “I’m not free, you can help Dad make it.”
Zhao Wanwan took it, opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile, “It’s almost all dressed up and I made it for my father to wear for the New Year.”
Just buy it. She doesn’t care when he wears it. After nodding at will, she asks, “Where is Aunt Qian?”
Zhao Wanwan was still folding fabrics, and casually said, “I have gone to uncle’s house.”
Somehow, Li Qinghe suddenly remembered what Yu Yan had said, every time Qian Laixing would meet her by chance, wouldn’t it be Qian’s whistleblowing?
The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible. I still have to talk to Li Fu about this matter, “Is there any tea at home? I’m going to the field and take it by the way.” I also want to talk about this matter.
Zhao Wanwan folded the fabric and nodded, “Yes, I’m about to go, you can take it.”
Li Qinghe went out carrying the teapot and saw a young girl coming here, observing the courtyards along the way. The girl was very face-to-face, anyway, she had never seen her in the town or the village in two lifetimes, but there were so many people in the village, maybe which relative she was, she just glanced, without thinking, turned around and planned to leave, and heard her Call, “Little sister-in-law.”
This name is very special. Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment before realizing that he called himself, stopped and turned around, pointed his nose, “You call me?”
The girl nodded and speeded up her steps. There were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, which made her white skin almost transparent, and the small blood vessels under her skin were faintly visible. This is a girl with good skin and good looks.
The girl was quite generous, she was a little panting when she approached, “Sister-in-law, I want to ask, do you know where Zhao Wanwan’s house lives? I asked all the way and said that she lives nearby…”
Looking for Wanwan?
Li Qinghe turned and looked at the yard. The girl followed her sight and looked in, and then tears fell. She was surprised and delighted, “Yanxi, I have had a hard time finding you.”
Li Qinghe: “…” Is this looking for Wanwan?
