She should be happy, right? He thought.

After a few days of sleeping in the open air, he finally arrived at Baili Village with a tired ox cart, and when he arrived at Baili Village, he saw hundreds of people working in full swing in a deserted suburb from a distance, although the construction had been started for a long time, but it should be the reason for the two crops of rice, many laborers rushed to spring planting, and stopped work for a period of time, although now although I can't see what is being built, but it has begun to take shape, I can see that Lao Li is dumbfounded, and he casually grabbed someone and asked, it was actually Mrs. Qin who wanted to build a mechanical workshop.

It is also a huge blacksmith shop, a workshop of blacksmiths and carpenters.

Lao Lizheng heard a sigh in his heart, and he was puzzled in his heart.

Walking further, the fertile rice fields on both sides of the road came into his eyes, the rice fields have already been planted with transplanted rice seedlings, sparse but neat, the spring breeze blows, the friction between the rice seedling leaves makes a rustling sound, and the old Li is red.

He hadn't seen Shumin's novel designs, so he naturally thought that this mechanical workshop was nothing more than an ironsmithing shop that had been magnified several times, but the current rice fields were different.

Although Washan Township has never made a living from farming, he is also an authentic farmer in his bones.

This is compared to Mrs. Qin's method of planting two crops of rice, right? But the seedlings are so sparse that they can grow more rice?

No matter how much he believed in Mrs. Qin in his heart, he also had deep doubts about this.

In fact, people have always had such doubts, but the trust in Mrs. Qin and the personal support of the county magistrate, especially after the imperial decree was issued, even if the people had doubts in their hearts, they still chose to believe it.

If Mrs. Qin can really grow two crops of rice, I believe that her promise a few years ago was not groundless, she has this ability, right?

Since Yao Su appeared coldly in Minyuan that day, Shumin has been a little uneasy and confused in his heart, but fortunately, since that day, Yao Su has never appeared again.

Even his cousin Zhu Qi never appeared again.

"It's best not to show up." Shumin was picking up wild vegetable leaves with Mama He in the yard, a little absent-minded.

"Madam, this wild vegetable should be picked up by the slave maid herself." Mama He looked at the water celery in Shumin's hand, which could no longer see the stems and leaves, and saw that she was a little absent-minded, and said.

Water celery is a common wild vegetable that grows next to the ridge canal, it is very delicious, and it is the best green wild vegetable in this early spring, and every household likes to pick some back from time to time.

It's just that no matter how common wild vegetables are, there are not many at this time, and Mama He and the children picked up this small pot after picking it up all morning. Seeing Shumin's absent-minded waste, she felt a little distressed, and picked up some of the stems and leaves that Shumin had spilled aside.

Shumin was a little stumped, and was about to say something, when he saw Zhang Li coming over with someone.

Shu Min was slightly stunned, and immediately recognized Lao Lizheng.

Because he slept in the open all the way, his appearance was indeed some distance from when he met in Washan Township.

"Lao Lizheng, why are you here? I'm going to look for you in a while?! Shumin hurriedly invited people into the hall, and Mama He made a few cups of tea.

Lao Li Zheng didn't know how to speak, but he didn't want Shumin to mention it himself, he was a little excited in his heart, and his face flushed slightly.

"I'm also here for this, Washan Township is not as good as other places, beans can be sown and some harvest, but this rice has no land to plant, seeing that other villagers are busy with two crops of rice, my hair and eyebrows are white."

"Lao Lizheng, I'm sorry. I'm too busy at the moment, and I originally planned to wait for the end of the two rice crops to take someone to Washan Township, but I didn't want to bother you to make this trip. Shumin apologized. She had already planned the refining of soy sauce, but there were too many things to put on hold.

Thinking of the yellow-faced and thin-skinned children in Washan Township, Shumin felt that it was time to start building a soy sauce base.

She turned to Zhang Lizheng and said, "Uncle Lizheng, can there still be more than a dozen laborers in the village?" ”

Zhang Lizheng frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "At present, the labor is really tight, but I am afraid that I still have to ask the opinions of the villagers to get out a dozen or so." ”

Washan Township is not close, and it is not easy for him to force the name.

"No, no, there are also in Laborwa Mountain Township." Lao Li hurriedly waved his hand and said. He could see that Baili Village was already vigorously hiring laborers from outside now, and besides, he had something to ask for, how dare he bother Zhang Lizheng and Shumin anymore. "As long as you can send a few people who can take care of things."

He is very self-aware, what Shu Min has in his hand, the thing that can make Washan Township prosperous again must be valuable, and he doesn't expect Shu Min to give it to him, so he makes this request.

"It's still Lao Li who is thinking about it." Zhang Li's front color is slightly loose.

Shumin's request must be doing his best, but he is looking for more than a dozen laborers in this spine, and he is still a little lacking in strength, so he has to use some of the rights of Lizheng, but in this way, some people must be unconvinced.

But the two or three people in charge should have no problem, but it really can't work, so these people will come out of his Zhang family.

After preparing for two or three days, Shumin and Lao Lizheng set off to Washan Township, accompanied by three helpers, one of whom was a laborer from the Li family, and the other was a foreigner with the surname Huang Ze, his family was a foreigner, and the family had more people and less land, a few months ago, his sister Huang Xiaoya was sold to Luo, and there was no possibility of seeing each other again in this life.

However, there are tofu workshops, soap workshops, and mechanical workshops in the village to share bonuses, and there are many things in the village, and his family's labor has a place to go, and even his grandmother, who is over the age of old, has received the work of raising pigs in the village. Although the current situation of the family is not improving significantly, it makes him full of hope, and he is saving money, hoping to get the sold sister back in the future.

This time, I heard that Mrs. Qin was going to Washan Township, and she needed a few capable laborers. Originally, such a thing could not have happened to him, but now that the village is short of labor and capital, he easily got this opportunity by self-recommendation.

There is another person, Shumin was a little surprised. He was actually her ex-husband Zhang Zhengyuan.

He also recommended himself, and for this reason, Qiu gave his anger and almost moved the fetus. Zhang Li was also so angry that he slapped his chest and scolded: "She is majestic at this time, why do you rush over to please her, she is proud now, and she will laugh at our family in her heart, and our family's face has been lost by you......"

She regretted it, but she couldn't regret it!

Now the wind in the village is one-sided, his old Zhang family was pointed at from behind as soon as he went out, and the people in the Zhang family's own family were also deliberately estranged from his family. for fear of being seen and having a good relationship with her.

She has been married to the Zhang family for more than 20 years, and she has never encountered this kind of treatment.

She was resentful in her heart, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to draw a line with her and try not to appear in public places.

In the past few months, although the women in the village have been very busy, she has just hid at home, washing and cooking, and taking care of the pregnant autumn flowers.

She's got backbone, she thought.

Qin woman, no matter how good you are, my old Zhang family will not climb your high branches!

But now, the last bit of face and the earthen wall made of her pride has been completely pushed by her favorite Dalang.

Looking at the autumn flowers lying on the bed, and the mother who was clapping her chest and crying in the yard, Zhang Zhengyuan sat silently at the door of the house all night, and the next morning, he appeared on time at the meeting place at the entrance of the village.

He didn't sleep all night, he was a little tired, but he covered it up well, but when Shumin appeared, he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

It seems like he hasn't seen her for a long time, and she's not what he knows anymore.

I saw her leading a jujube red horse, walking side by side with Lao Lizheng and Zhang Lizheng, with a comfortable smile on her face like the first sun.

When she saw herself in the crowd, there was a momentary pause in her gaze, and that moment of pause made his heart nervous.

How would she look at herself?

He was very nervous, not because he still couldn't let go of her, but because of their past, what the old Zhang family did to her, would it make it difficult for her and them to see each other again?

He just wants to help her, will she not give this opportunity?

But when he only saw Shu Min's gaze passing over him, there was nothing else left by the surprise and surprise of a moment, and a thick melancholy rose in his heart.

What am I doing, I just want to help her, that's all.

He began to get annoyed again.

"Zhengyuan, when you go to Washan Township, you have to help Mrs. Qin well." Before leaving, Zhang Lizheng solemnly instructed.

Zhengyuan's heart was bitter.

"We will definitely help Mrs. Qin together. Zhang Lizheng was relieved. Huang Ze put his arms around Zhengyuan's neck and responded with a smile.

"Zhang Lizheng, you can rest assured. It is our honor for Mrs. Qin to come to my Washan Township, and our entire Washan Township will wholeheartedly act according to Mrs. Will, and will definitely not cause trouble for her. Lao Lizheng laughed.

The crockpots he sent were indeed good things, and with his insistence, they were all placed in the tofu workshop. The ox cart was empty, and when they returned, of course, they took the ox cart.

Linjiang Town, Liufu.

"You said you saw Madam Qin leave Baili Village? Do you know where she went? Liu Linghua was practicing calligraphy, and when she heard the report of the next person, her pen hand paused, and her brows furrowed slightly, "Do you know where she is going?" When will I be able to return? ”

"I don't know for the time being, but I've already sent someone to follow, and it looks like Washan Township in the direction." The servant hurriedly replied.

"What is she doing in the backwoods?" Liu Linghua's brows furrowed even deeper, and she turned around and asked Liu Shun, who was helping him sort out the account books, and said, "You have known Mrs. Qin for so long, can you guess why she went to Washan Township?" ”

"Little ones don't know." Liu Shun replied respectfully.

Hearing his answer, Liu Linghua didn't have any expression, as if she was talking to herself: "Why don't I go to Washan Township too." ”
