Chapter 83: The Professor
Wei Qingbao followed his father Wei Shiming, stepmother Liu, and younger brother Wei Qingzhu to Hujia Village, Wei Qingbao only circled in the crowd, and went around to Hu Xiaomei's family.
First greeted Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou respectfully: "Uncle, aunt, you came really early." ”
Wei Sanniang responded.
Fox Dayou smiled and said, "You are also early." ”
"My father asked someone to bring a batch of goods back from out of town, and he was at home in the morning to help him inventory the goods, and no one expected that there would be this thing in the afternoon, so Xiang Lunch was a little late." Wei Qingbao never said a fake word when he spoke to Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang.
"Oh, what kind of rare goods did your dad get again?" The fox said curiously.
"It's not a rare commodity, but we don't have it in Weijia Town, but there are a lot of them in Weixian." Then he looked at Hu Xiaomei again: "Didn't the second sister go to the market recently?" ”
Fox Xiaomei was stunned, shook her head, and was fine, why did she go to the market every day?
Wei Qingbao said with a smile: "I went to the 'Guilai Pastry Shop' that day and found that they came out with a new pastry, called 'Glutinous Rice Crisp', I heard that it tastes soft and chewy, and it is very cheap, only 20 yuan a box, and many people bought it at that time." ”
"Just talk, don't practice! You might as well buy it and try it! Fox Fence Xiang stared at him with a ray of light from between her eyes, and said expressionlessly.
Wei Qingbao seemed to have just discovered the fox fence incense on the side at this time, scratched his hair embarrassedly, looked at the fox fence incense, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see the fence fragrance also have free time!" ”
If you are pleased with others, you must first please your family.
Don't understand this reason?
Fox Fence Xiang rolled her eyes and turned her face away. Too lazy to look at him.
Wei Qingbao was speechless, and at this moment, someone ran over and reported to Tang Daming: "Village chief, Steward Wei is here!" ”
The footsteps of the people moved one after another, and the village chiefs of each village followed Tang Daming to take the lead towards the entrance of the village.
He was still the guard steward in the muslin robe, but he was not alone at this time, and he was followed by the young boy who was watching the horse in the morning, and a young and handsome man beside him led the way, with a smile on his face all the time. Talk to him from time to time.
The steward of the guard occasionally bowed his head. From time to time, he turned his head sideways to talk to the man, with a gentle expression on his face and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, because he was slightly fat. Take away the majesty of the body. It actually gives people a sense of affinity.
And the person who led him turned out to be Hu Yingtian's son, Hu Libai.
Everyone in Hujia Village was surprised. Fox Fence Bai actually knew the guard steward? Seeing that the Wei steward was so kind, the people in the other villages looked sideways at Tang Daming, and the questioning eyes seemed to say: You didn't say that the Wei steward was very serious. Isn't it scary?
Tang Daming's mouth was full of bitterness, he had already known that Hu Libai knew the Wei Steward, how could he suffer that grievance in the morning, and then looked at the Hu Yingtian who turned from surprise to pride, even Hu Yingtian didn't know that his son knew the Wei Steward, how could he not know the prophet.
The thought skipped instantly, he put away his thoughts, his face was full of smiles, and greeted the village chiefs of the other dozen or so villages.
The health steward was indeed in a much better mood than in the morning, and he also had a good impression of the smart and flexible young man of Fox Fence Bai. Seeing the people in front of me again, the mood instantly became better, and these people were obedient.
Tang Daming and the others greeted respectfully and had already removed the smile on their faces, and the expression was faint, although the attitude of the guard steward towards them was not as cordial as that of Hu Libai, but at least they looked much better than in the morning. Even so, they were satisfied.
Two cold and noisy sentences, get down to business.
Tang Daming took the guard steward to the vegetable field in Hujia Village, but unfortunately the vegetable field was not large, and it was divided by more than 30 families, all of which were divided into small fields. The steward frowned, this soil seed chrysanthemum is okay, but a small piece is too troublesome.
And there are too many people in more than a dozen villages, standing in this small place, three layers inside and three layers outside, who can guarantee that everyone can hear clearly.
The health manager looked serious, but he was actually a responsible person, and asked Tang Daming to find a larger, more lenient place.
Later, Tang Daming took the guard steward to the dry land behind the village. Three plots of land have been hoeed out of five acres of dry land, one of which belongs to Hu Xiaomei's family, and the other two pieces of land belong to Wei Qingbao's family.
Seeing the dry land, the steward nodded, so that it was like planting chrysanthemum, but then look at the soil, although the hoe is fine enough, however, it has not been planted for many years, and the soil is not loose enough and lacks water.
Fortunately, it is also possible to grow chrysanthemum.
"I'm afraid the harvest in the first year is not very optimistic, but as long as you plant something, it will only get better later, and it is a waste not to plant anything in such a large field. As long as the water source keeps up, I believe that the chrysanthemum grown will be much better than the vegetable field over there. It may be a bit of a struggle to carry water in the first year, but it will only get better and better in the future. ”
Hearing Steward Wei's words, Fox Dayou, Wei Sanniang, including Wei Shiming's family, breathed a sigh of relief.
People who have active eyes have begun to think about whether to rent an acre to grow chrysanthemum after the meeting, anyway, this vegetable seed is only obtained.
After the soil quality and how to water it, the health manager officially began to explain how to plant chrysanthemum, with scattering and strip sowing; how to sterilize the soil before sowing; How many days can it be ripe for picking, how to pick, and how to dig soil and make trenches for strip sowing, etc.
In the last life, Hu Xiaomei once went to handle a case with her colleagues, and in order not to alarm the criminals, they stayed quietly in a farmer's house for two or three days, and it was the time to plant chrysanthemum.
There were more than one such cases, and sometimes in order to keep an eye on the suspect, she stayed in one place all day, without eating or drinking. At that time, her colleagues still joked with her, saying that handling cases is case handling, and health is just as important. A beautiful little girl who doesn't eat all day long, starves herself to the bone, who will dare to marry her in the future?
Sure enough, later, because she often stayed up late and didn't eat on time, she gradually felt dizzy and fatigued, and the doctor said that she was anemic and malnourished. My colleagues were surprised that there were still people who were malnourished in this age. Everyone advised her not to work too hard, to take care of her body, and the captain did not allow her to stay up late.
Where can she listen. Full of enthusiasm and desire for work, she can't stop. At the class reunion, I saw that many of my college classmates were promoted and made a fortune, and the worst ones were ready to buy a house. She is even more determined to achieve something in her work. I didn't listen to the doctor's advice and rested, and finally died suddenly due to overwork.
Because of this, after arriving at this place, Hu Xiaomei was not interested in anything, and just wanted to live her own life. It's a pity that the current situation of this family is not good, barely solving the problem of food and clothing, and after two years of laziness, she has to start using her brains to help the family earn some silver.
Fortunately, God left a favor, and the bean curd business is good.
I don't know how her capable old classmates are doing now. However, thinking about it like this, Hu Xiaomei suddenly found that her memory of her previous life was blurred.
The clear person becomes vague, and the profound becomes prosaic.
She seemed to lose sight of what the faces of her old classmates looked like, and the happy times she spent with her colleagues had become short-lived.
Fox Xiaomei shook her head.
The guard steward wearing a muslin robe stood on the edge of the field and talked about the cultivation of chrysanthemum, and the villagers surrounded it again and again, and everyone listened very carefully.
Her father, Fox Dayou, and Niang Wei Sanniang stood on the edge of their dry land together, looking very focused, staring at Steward Wei without blinking.
Retracting the other distractions in her heart, Hu Xiaomei paid all her attention to the Wei steward who spoke.
After the explanation ended, the health manager stopped and asked Tang Daming to take the hoe.
Tang Daming and the others were so moved, the health steward even went to the ground to demonstrate in person?
His robe was clean and tidy, although it was made of fine fabric, but a closer look showed that the workmanship was very exquisite, and the cuffs and edges of the robe were embroidered with delicate and vivid patterns, all of which showed that this robe was much more delicate than that worn by their croppers. He was sent from above, or was he in charge, so how could he let him go down to the ground himself?
The dissatisfaction of the morning with the steward was swept away.
Tang Daming took the hoe, pulled up his trousers, and said bluntly: "Steward Wei, how can this kind of thing bother you, you say, I will come, so as not to stain your clothes." ”
The steward looked at him strangely, and a man sprang out behind him.
It was the young boy who came with him. The kid walked over and took the hoe from Tang Daming's hand, and before he could understand what the young boy was going to do, he had already raised his feet and walked into the field.
Tang Daming didn't have time to pull him, so he hurriedly said: "Little brother, come up quickly, so as not to stain your shoes." ”
The young boy smiled at him, "It's out of the way." After speaking, he raised his hoe and began to dig a trench box in the field, and his movements were quick and skillful, and he looked like a skilled hand in the field.
Everyone stretched their necks to look, but they didn't expect this good-looking boy to be so good at doing farm work.
The steward pointed to the ditch box dug by the boy, and said slowly: "It's best for everyone to sow the ditch, dig the ditch box, sprinkle the vegetable seeds, and directly pick up the soil on both sides to cover it...... Just like this, the width of the box is two or three feet, the ditch does not need to be dug too deep, and the vegetables are evenly sprinkled on the box......"
Fox Fence Xiang followed the crowd and slowly approached, and the boy only dug a distance of one zhang, and immediately turned over the box and began to dig the box ditch on the other side.
“…… The big guy can see clearly, there must be on both sides of the ditch, how to dig everyone to see it clearly, this thing method is taught to you, and it is up to you to do it well or badly. ”
As soon as the steward said this, the crowd moved faster, and some of them were so anxious that they even pulled away from the people in front of them and hurriedly squeezed forward, causing the people next to them to complain again and again.
Fox Xiaomei watched the crowd of people on the edge of the field quickly coming towards this side, they were crossing the field and stepping into the field, wanting to come from the opposite side to take a closer look. If all these hundreds of people step on their fields, then aren't their fields hoeing in vain?
Gotta think to stop it!
Fox Xiaomei's brain turned quickly, she raised her feet and walked two steps quickly, crossed the fox fence, and finally squeezed to Tang Daming's side, raised her voice, and didn't care if the Wei steward would be too careful, and said loudly: "Uncle the village chief, it's better to let everyone line up to watch, it's easy to hurt people by squeezing around like this."
