Chapter 122, Fengyuan

The spring breeze blows the mountains, the grass in the wild is green, Li Xiaoran and Xuesi carry a small basket to dig wild vegetables every day, the Li family now almost only eats wild vegetables at night, different from other people's houses, with meat, oil and other seasonings, or mixed or fried or stuffed, it tastes great.

Xiang Shijie had nothing to do, so he followed them to dig wild vegetables and add a bowl of vegetables to his family's table. Xiang's mother has good handiwork, follows Fu Shi and others to make hair flowers, earns fifty yuan a day, and is grateful to the Li family in her heart. After a while, she saved eight or nine hundred wen in her hand, and she had the idea of sending her son to the school to study.

It's just that a few hundred texts seem to be a lot, but it's not enough to enter the academy at all, otherwise how can there be so few people who can afford to read books, she asked and had to dispel this idea for the time being. However, I unexpectedly learned that the Li family has a study, although there are not many books, but it is better than the one that I don't have. Xiang Shijie asked, he can go in and read, this can be regarded as an unexpected joy!

Wang Zhi'er also went to work in the handicraft workshop, and the money she earned Fu didn't want her, so she saved it up to make a dowry in the future. Almost every household in the village has a person to do the work, but occasionally a few families are really not good at needlework, so they are arranged to cut and sort the cloth heads. Although there is a lot of material bought back, if the cloth is enough, it is just enough to save the whole horse of material to make clothes.

In this way, no one can say anything, but the natural wage for doing odd jobs is less, and it is 30 yuan a day, which is not comparable to those who spend 50 yuan a day for ten heads, so they don't choose, who makes their own hands stupid.

Of course, what is not picked refers to other people's families, Zhang's is naturally unhappy, why do other people's families earn fifty yuan, she earns thirty yuan, but she goes to make trouble, the women in the village are afraid that she will make a fuss, they all boycott her, this matter is responsible for the village head, Zhang's is not good, Tian even spoke directly: "If you don't want to make this money, just cook and feed the chickens at home, there is more work at home!" A sentence gagged her mouth and went to work in a proper manner.

It's just that after a few days, she became restless again, and wanted to steal it and sell it herself, but this time the management of the workshop is very strict, and people who don't work can't do that room.

In March, seeing that they were about to plant a field, Wang Dahu's family of three did odd jobs all the way, asked for food, and looked for it. Wang Xiaoshu saw that his father and sister were dressed in tatters, and their hair was like rotten grass, so he hugged them and cried.

Li Yihe gave enough money for the journey when they left, and when he asked, he found out that on the way to the family, he encountered several robbers, and the silver and his own small family wealth were also robbed. Fortunately, he dressed his daughter as a man, you must know that there are many daughters who were robbed and harmed on the road, and they trembled all the way to do odd jobs and ask for food, so they came to this Yulin County.

Li Yihe let them live in the house where Wang Xiaoshu lived, and the Fu family gave them a few pieces of cloth to make clothes, and sent some food and daily necessities, this family is officially settled here, they said to the outside that it was a long-term worker hired by the Li family, only the village Jiang Sheng knew that they were the slaves bought by Li Yihe, and they were surprised by how many families the Li family has now, and they felt that this family was doing the right thing.

Wang Dahu took his wife and daughter to rest for two days, and the family officially came to meet the master.

Li Yihe also understands that now that the family business is big and there are more things in the family, these people must be arranged, and who does what and does not do must have a charter. After discussing with his family, he decided to feed the pigs and chickens and his own affairs, and handed them over to Wang Dahu's family and her daughter Wang Yuhuan to do.

In addition to taking her little daughter, Fu also has to go to the workshop from time to time to take a look, although she was handed over to the first batch of people who came to make hair flowers last year, but she also had to go for random inspections. This time, Li Xiaoran came up with an idea, everyone made a number, tied a cloth under the hair flower made by himself, and wrote the number, so that he could see whether it was suitable or not during the sampling, and if the sampling inspection failed three times, she would not be allowed to do the work here.

This system really makes the quality of this batch of head flowers very good, and there is no unqualified manual phenomenon.

Wang Dahu had planted rice before, and Li Yihe bought him mainly for this matter, so he handed over the trial planting of rice to him. Wang Dahu's son followed Li Yihe as a small servant and ran errands.

In addition, Jiang Qi and Wang Dahu were responsible for the greenhouse vegetables left by the Ye family, and Jiang Zhifa, Jiang Zhicheng and Li Dongsheng followed Li Yihe to deliver vegetables to the county seat as the Ye family used to do.

Except for the Wang family, the rest are not the descendants of the Li family, they are just hired workers and paid wages every month, but these people are already having a difficult life in their families, so they choose to live by the Li family, so that the wives do the first flowers, and the men work, and their lives are much more prosperous than other people's families.

The medicinal herbs and fruit trees planted in the forest have become forbidden land, and even Wang Zhi'er and Wang Dahu's family are not allowed to enter, basically Li Yihe and Li Xiaoran are in charge of these, and they should be able to bear fruit this year, but she doesn't plan to sell these, she just wants to keep them for her own food.

The family has a money-making income, and she doesn't want to be too conspicuous, so there are not many kinds of fruit trees, four apple trees, four pear trees, two apricot trees, two plum trees, and two large cherry trees, and when the time comes, she is planting some watermelons and melons, so that there is no shortage of fruits. As for the lychee, she thought about it for a long time and gave up, if it was discovered, it would be terrible, and the rest of the varieties would be fine, and others would only be surprised, and would not think about anything else.

The medicinal materials are planted with ginseng, notoginseng, atractylodes, white peony, codonopsis, bupleurum, bellflower, parsnip, yuanzhi, skullcap, banxia, aconite, etc., not all of them are precious, but they are easy to sell, these varieties are not easy to obtain, Li Yihe searched for seeds everywhere, and dug some local medicinal varieties on the mountain to mix together.

The original plan to raise chickens, ducks and geese was stranded due to lack of manpower, just to eat eggs and chickens for their own family, and 30 chickens were raised in the spring, plus the previous year, there are now more than 40 chickens.

The wild vegetables in spring are fresh and tender, and they can be eaten until before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Wang Dahu's cooked rice, steamed buns with mountain celery and pork filling, porridge with bud noodles, cold clover, and scrambled eggs with thorny old sprouts, I was very appetizing when I looked at it. Fu Shi looked at these meals, thinking that what he didn't want to eat a year ago has now become delicious, and people really change with the environment.

In the past, I was poor and just wanted to eat something good, but now that the conditions are good, the wild vegetables are delicious.

"Si'er, Ran'er, this steamed bun with wild vegetables and meat is steamed a lot, you can send some to your grandfather and aunt Xiang." Li Xiaoran agreed, and Li Xuesi picked up a small basket of buns and sent them to the old house.

Wang Zhi'er thought for a while and said, "Cousin, I'll go and send it to Aunt Xiang!" ”

Fu Shi was breastfeeding her with Tongtong in his arms, and he didn't pay much attention to the words, "Then you go, pick up a few more, and bring them out tomorrow morning's meal." ”

Wang Zhi'er responded crisply, picked up ten big buns and went to Xiangzi's house with Lanzi.

Xiang Shijie was choosing vegetables in the yard, Wang Zhi'er saw that he hurriedly put down Lanzi, stepped forward to take the wild vegetables in his hand with a smile, and said very naturally: "I'll come Brother Xiang, where would you do such a job." ”

Xiang Shijie's previous education was that men and women were seven years old, and he found that the village did not pay attention to this, but he was uncomfortable in his heart, and hurriedly excused himself: "No, I will do this job, and it is not difficult." "He's not a master now, but a poor boy. He quickly added this sentence in his heart.

Wang Zhi'er glanced at him and chuckled, "Brother Xiang, don't be polite to me, my cousin asked me to bring this bun, you go in and have dinner with your aunt, I'll go back after you choose the dishes." ”

Yang Shi came out of the house when he heard the movement, looked at his son quietly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhi'er, look at your cousin is polite, I also made dinner, I am embarrassed to eat them." ”

"My aunt and my cousin rarely fell in love, and my aunt was so polite that my cousin must feel uncomfortable. This bun is still hot, aunt and brother Xiang go in to eat while it's hot, I have nothing to do, help choose the dishes. ”

"You're a guest, how can I let you do this, come into the house and drink some hot water!" Yang's brows furrowed slightly, thinking that it couldn't be what she thought, it was good to see this child as good, but she liked Ran Er more!

Wang Zhi'er smiled shyly, "Auntie don't be polite, the relationship between our two families, how can I be considered a guest, my aunt just treats me as a daughter, I, I have no mother since I was a child, and I am very kind when I look at my aunt!" ”

Yang glanced at Wang Zhi'er, this child was only ten years old, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, a pair of apricot eyes sparkling, very charming, looking at people as if they could speak, she was slightly surprised in her heart, and seemed to inquire: "It's still Zhi'er who can speak, how can he talk like my son, who has a lump of wood, and he can't say something delicious to please me." ”

Wang Zhi'er said a little shyly: "Brother Xiang is very good like this, it's not good for a man to just be able to talk flatteringly." ”

Her words were not like those spoken by a fatherless, motherless and illiterate child, Yang was even more curious, and asked: "I see that you have very little needlework, I guess your mother taught you!" ”

Wang Zhi'er lowered her head slightly, covering her eyes, and said in a somewhat lonely voice: "My mother died when I was very young, and this needlework was practiced for my brother when I was a child, which made my aunt smile." ”

Yang shook her hand and sighed, "Poor child! ”

They are all poor people, and they are so precocious must be because of their life experience, Yang lived here for a month, and found that the children in this village are not as scheming as those children compared to the rich and noble, but they are more sensible and precocious than the children of rich families.

Wang Zhi'er said a few more words to Yang, and got up to say goodbye with a good impression in time.

When Lin Xiangjia came out, she saw Li Xuewu running sweating profusely, and her face immediately changed to a cute smile, and she invited: "Aunt Wang wrapped the buns, Brother Xuewu went over to eat!" She walked up to him as she spoke, naturally took a cloth and wiped his sweat, and said angrily: "Look at such a strong wind, Brother Xuewu is still sweating all over, if you let your cousin-in-law know, you have to be punished to squat and walk." ”

Her attitude was very natural, Li Xuewu was rough and sloppy, and the two of them were still young, so they didn't feel anything wrong, they just snatched her handkerchief and wiped her sweat, and stuffed it back to her, "Here you go, I'm leaving." ”。

Wang Zhi'er grabbed him and said with a smile: "Okay, a handkerchief is not worth anything, you can wipe your sweat, you can't just wipe it with your sleeve, look, this sleeve is polished." Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "It's okay, man, it should be like this." ”

Wang Zhi'er's eyes flashed with a flash of disdain, but he said with a smile on his face: "Take it, you should say that you are pulling it when you look at it like this." ”

When Li Xuewu thought of his little cousin's slanted eyes and disdainful of him for not paying attention to hygiene, his face was sweating, and he dragged the handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve and ran, "Okay, you are as verbose as Ran'er." ”

Seeing him disappear in a flash, Wang Zhi'er showed a deep smile on her face, she had to plan her own life's events, she originally thought that Li Xuewu was a good candidate, but now it seems that the origin of the Xiang family is not simple, how can an ordinary Zhuang family let their children go to school, but Xiang Shijie knows a lot of words, and she turned her mind to a part.

There is no hurry in this matter, she still has several years to plan for this matter, and she must choose a good man to do it.
