Chapter Eighty-Eight: Sweet Potatoes in the Backyard

On this day, Ye Xiaoyu went to the thatched house, and when she was about to leave, she found two people dressed as guys cleaning up something in the corner of the backyard. When I walked over, there were several piles of rotten sweet potatoes in the corner, which were estimated to have been left for too long, and the upper ones began to rot, but those close to the ground, where there were places that were stained with soil, began to grow new shoots. Before, because the place had been piled with firewood, this pile of things was blocked by wood, and no one noticed it at all.

"Is this going to be thrown away?"

Although it has gone bad, it can still be seen that these sweet potatoes were originally very good, how could such a good thing be piled up in this corner out of thin air? Ye Xiaoyu was full of questions, so she asked the person who was cleaning up.

"yes, these are going to be taken and thrown away. It's a waste, this good thing, just like this, this year's harvest is good, and your Lu family has a bumper harvest, and you can't eat it all. No, this good stuff is just piled up here and rotten. ”

One of the guys looked at the piles of sweet potatoes and taro and said, his face full of pity.

"Didn't you give it to your subordinates? Why are there so many left? ”

Although the Lu family does not have many families, there are many families, old mothers and little maids, even if there are more things, they will be gone. Moreover, I have never heard any news that I can't eat sweet potatoes and taro, and I haven't even eaten these things.

"It's said that it's all divided, and there's something left here, and I don't know the specifics, miss, aren't you from the Lu family, why don't you know?"

The guy replied as he shoveled.

Done with it? But he never got too much notice of these things, and Hong'er didn't mention them at all, but a long time ago, it seemed that she heard Lu Qian talk about baked sweet potatoes or something, and Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about it at that time, has she started to divide these things since then? According to the rules of the Lu family, these things of the Lu family are all handed over to the housekeeper and managed by him, and the housekeeper of the Lu family is the fifth ...... Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly understood why even if these extra sweet potatoes were piled up here and rotten, they would not be divided between themselves and Hong'er.

Thinking about it, Ye Xiaoyu pretended to leave, and when she walked to the garden, she estimated that the time was almost up, so she walked back.

"When you shovel all these to the cart later, just put the cart outside the backyard door, and the fifth uncle said that he would take it to the field to make fertilizer."

After returning to the backyard, Ye Xiaoyu said to the guy who was still shoveling sweet potatoes piled on the ground.

"Huh? But the fifth master told us to pull us outside the village yesterday. ”

The two guys looked at Ye Xiaoyu with a surprised expression, this little girl was young, and she didn't know if what she said was true or not.

"Ah what, I just met the fifth uncle in the garden, he was going to come over and tell you, just a little urgent, so he asked me to come back and tell you, these things can be piled up directly on the car, but, in order to prevent others from taking it indiscriminately, you have to find something like cattail grass to cover it later."

What Ye Xiaoyu said is undoubted.

"That'...... Our wages ......"

One of the guys asked. Pile these sweet potatoes directly on the car, without pulling them outside the village to pour, of course, it is much easier, they naturally can't ask for it. However, he is worried that his wages will be deducted. After all, it is not a day or two for the fifth master of the Lu family to deduct wages for various reasons.

"Don't worry about this, the fifth uncle said, as long as you pack up these things according to what I just said, the salary is still on time and agreed, take it. But if you don't pack it up, you know ......."

Ye Xiaoyu deliberately lowered her voice at the end and looked at the two guys.

"No problem, no problem, please tell the fifth master, we will definitely do it according to his instructions."

The other guy said happily that he didn't need to be dragged outside the village to pour, just find something to cover it, and he could get the full salary for nothing, which was a good thing that could not be encountered a few times a year.

"You two work hard, don't talk nonsense. Remember to get paid. ”

After Ye Xiaoyu finished explaining, she turned around and left, and no one noticed the slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

There are so many sweet potatoes, I don't know how many people can get out of hunger, even if they are sold, they can be sold for a sum of money, but let them just pile up in the corner and rot, Lao Wu did this, sure enough, it is not his own things that are not distressed. Everyone was divided, but Ye Xiaoyu was the only one who was missing, since the last few things, he didn't believe that the fifth child really forgot about himself unintentionally. At this time, Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how to describe her feelings.

"Hong'er, did the fifth uncle ask you to get sweet potatoes and taro?"

Back in Nanyuan, Ye Xiaoyu asked Hong'er.

"Huh? What sweet potato? No, isn't there any of it now, where is it, I'll ...... it."

Listening to Ye Xiaoyu's words, Hong'er looked surprised, and was about to go out as she spoke.

"No, I don't have any of these things now, so I'll ask."

Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly explained, seeing Hong'er like this, it is estimated that she must not have received such a notice.

Lao Wu, since the last Xiaolongbao incident, I haven't dealt with him for a while, and now it seems that it's time to meet him.

Now is the slack period, even if there are some fragmentary farm work, there is no need for the housekeeper to go to the field himself, so when Ye Xiaoyu came to the house of the fifth child in Beiyuan, he was leaning on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed and smoking, and Liu Ma and the other 3 middle-aged women were also sitting on the side, sometimes bursting with laughter, I don't know who was gossiping.

As soon as he saw Ye Xiaoyu, Lao Wu's face changed, but he still leaned back in the chair.

"Yo, Miss Ye-"

Lao Wu deliberately lengthened his voice and glanced up with a smile.

"Don't dare to be."

Ye Xiaoyu replied calmly.

"Yo, you're quite self-aware, I forgive you for not daring to be called."

Lao Wu leaned back in his chair, took a puff of cigarette, and said in a strange voice.

"I'm here today mainly because I want to ask you about the fifth uncle."

Lip service, the more you grind, the better it is to waste time, Ye Xiaoyu is too lazy to grind with Lao Wu again, so she directly said the point.

"Excuse me? How dare I ask Miss Ye for advice? I don't know when I will be killed by you at that time, although Jiang is old and spicy, but this kind of thing is treacherous, Miss Ye, you are good at it......"

The last time Xiaolongbao incident, the fifth child still held a grudge, he was thinking about how to take revenge on this little cheap embryo every day, suffering from no chance, and now he actually sent it to the door himself, such a good opportunity, how can he not let it go.

Hearing what the fifth child said, Mother Liu and the others also stopped whispering, quieted down, and put on a good show.

"Fifth uncle, where is this, isn't it thanks to you that you gave birth to such a smart daughter, otherwise, no matter how much others doubt, they won't be able to see through your plan......"

Ye Xiaoyu fought back with a smile. It seems that if you don't grind your mouth with him, you won't be able to get into the topic of conversation.
