Chapter 287: Zhuangzi Grows Corn (2)
This is too far from what Li Ziyu imagined, she thought that this afternoon she would not be able to plant all of them, and she could plant more than half.
But she ignored the issue of water.
The moisture in the field is not very good, and she doesn't want the drought to affect the yield of the corn after planting, so she watered each pit a lot when planting.
At first, the transportation of water was manually picked from the small river in the west, but later the efficiency was too slow, so ox cart transportation was used to solve this problem.
However, this invisibly affected the progress of farming, resulting in so many people not even planting half of it.
Li Ziyu discussed with the old village chief and decided not to go back tonight, and everyone stayed here for one night.
The old village chief naturally has no opinion, there is food, accommodation and wages, so why not stay one more night?
However, there are nearly 30 people in the village and her own family, and her family's house in Zhuangzi is enough to live in, but the bedding is definitely not enough.
My sisters and brothers have ten sets of bedding made by Aunt Niu and Aunt Jing last time, but it's no problem. But the old village chief and the twenty of them were gone.
And there are a total of fifteen families in Zhuangzi, and their lives are not very rich, and there are definitely not many idle bedding.
Li Ziyu hurriedly asked Shao Ligen to drive the carriage and go to the city to buy bedding.
Shao Ligen is very familiar in the city, and at the junction of Qinghe Street and Jinbi Road, he found a cloth village called "Xiangrui".
The scale of Xiangrui cloth village is not small, and the varieties of medium and high-end fabrics are rich and diverse. The shopkeeper of the cloth village is a stocky and stocky man in his thirties, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
Li Ziyu didn't bargain, and bought 20 sets of bedding, pillows, and pillowcases. Plus twenty sheets. After buying, I quickly went to the vegetable market east of the south gate, bought 50 catties of pork, and paid three red and white water. I bought more than 20 cabbages and various spices nearby.
Wait until you return to Zhuangzi. It's close to the middle of the unitary time.
The people in the village who had come here to farm had already returned, and they were strolling around the house in groups, checking the surroundings. Some washed their hands and feet by the river, and some chatted in the woods by the river.
The children in the Zhuangzi surrounded them, the guests who had come from afar, chasing and fighting with each other. Through the contact of working in the fields together for half a day, the people in the Zhuangzi and the village have lost the strangeness of the first meeting, and have become much closer.
Zheng Gangqiang and the old man were also busy in the field for a long time. Just got back to the yard.
Since he moved here to work as a porter, he not only has a monthly salary of 200 yuan, but also cotton clothes to wear. Three meals a day are also settled.
He felt as if he was living in a dream every day, and even the owner of the cattle farm, who didn't look at him in the past, was polite to him.
He knew that it was all a gift from his new owner that turned his life upside down.
When he came back from the field, he wanted to kowtow to his new owner. Thank you. But. The new owner has been busy for a moment, and he doesn't want to make trouble for her. I had to nest in my own house in the porter's house, and wait for the opportunity to visit the owner again.
After Li Ziyu came back, she temporarily unloaded the futon in the two wings, and the meat and vegetables were unloaded in the kitchen.
There are ready-made rice noodles in the house, the pot stove and kitchen are also clean, and the firewood room is full of neat chopping wood.
Xiao Ou and Li Ziyu, as well as Aunt Niu and Aunt Jing who came directly from the field later. Everyone worked hard to cook dinner.
When they came back from the field, they looked at their newly bought Zhuangzi with a new curiosity. They looked inside and out. He ran out again and played by the creek to the west, and did not return to the yard until the food was ready.
Li Ziyu asked Xiaoshan and Xiaowen to come back to beckon Niu Datou and Jing Songbai to come over to accompany the guests, and Xiaoshan and Xiaowen promised to run out quickly to find someone.
After walking around the village for half a day, they had figured out where each family lived, a total of fifteen households, a row of houses, and it was clear who lived where.
Aunt Niu and Aunt Jing moved tables and benches from their respective homes and placed them in the east and west wings respectively.
At this time, it was getting late, Li Ziyu lit candles in the main room, east wing, and west wings, and the meals were also put on the dining table.
The main meal for dinner is steamed rice, and the main dish is stewed with braised pork, stir-fried two meat dishes, and a shredded radish soup. In addition, the pigs were put together and marinated, and they were put together to form a hodgepodge of cold dishes.
The old village chief took the villagers to wash their hands and feet by the river, and returned to the courtyard with the emotion in his heart.
When they came back to Zhangkou Town to farm, they saw the respect and fear of Li Ziyu from the tenants in Zhuangzi, which made them see another side of Li Ziyu.
I didn't expect that a small girl piece could make the two seemingly not simple owners obey, this girl of the Li family is really unconvincing.
When Li Ziyu saw the old village chief and them coming in, he beckoned everyone to take a seat, and said a little apologetically: "Grandpa, uncles, uncles, you're tired from working for a long time, right?" It's all my underestimation, and I have to let you stay overnight, come, grandpa, all sit down quickly, and rest by the way. ”
At this time, Niu Datou and Jing Songbai walked in one after another, and took Li Ziyu's words with a smile: "Hehehe, Uncle Zhao, big brothers, I'm sorry for being late." Everyone is welcome, and sit down. Let me introduce myself first, maybe everyone also knows my cheap name, contemptible people called Niu Datou, thanks to the owner of the family, now we are the owner of the Zhuangzi. If the hospitality is not good, please bear with me. ”
Jing Songbai also looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Brother Jing Songbai, everyone is welcome to come here." ”
The old village chief also politely replied: "We are new here, we don't understand the rules here, if there is any offense, please also invite the two virtuous nephews Haihan." ”
Niu Datou laughed and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, let's gossip less, hurry into the house to eat." The guests are all hungry, come, come and get into the house. ”
So, the two sides greeted and pushed into the east and west wings one after another, and sat down with the guests and hosts.
The old village chief sat down at the table in the east room with ten people, accompanied by Niu Datou.
Wang Chunqiu took ten people to sit at the table in the West House, accompanied by Jing Songbai.
Zheng Gangqiang still insisted on eating by himself in the gatehouse, and Li Ziyu had to ask Xiaoshan to bring him food.
Zheng Laohan saw that it was the little proprietor who personally delivered the meal to him, and excitedly knelt down for Xiaoshan. Xiaoshan hurriedly stopped him, joking, how could he let someone who could be his grandfather kneel for him? Isn't that a discount for one's own life?
Li Ziyu, Xiao Ou, Xiao Shan, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu and Xiao Lan set up a table in the hall of the main house, and left Aunt Niu and Aunt Jing, who insisted on going home, and had dinner together.
After dinner, Aunt Niu and Aunt Jing washed the dishes and chopsticks, and cleaned the dishes in each room before going back.
The old village chief and the others were placed in the east and west wings, and the four rooms of twenty people will be settled. Everyone worked for a long time, and they were all tired, so they all rested early.
Li Ziyu found out the bedding that Aunt Niu and the others made when they left last time, and asked Xiaoshan and Xiaowen to take Xiaowu and Xiaohu to settle in the West House, and she and Sister Xiao Ou and Lan Lan settled in the East House.
