Chapter 127: Help
To be honest, Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to insist, she was too tired to work in the field, she didn't have the body to say it, and she had to spend a lot of time working with the soil every day, especially after she found some money-making livelihood, she had long lost the interest she had when she had just worked in the field. Doing business is much better than farming, although Lu Yishou stubbornly believes that "having land and land" is the key, but the reason why the Lu family became rich is not just by relying on the crops that grow in that field, but by virtue of Lu Yishou's cleverness, constantly carrying out "land trading" and "northern grain and southern transportation", otherwise just guarding that piece of land, after a few lifetimes can not develop into Lujiazhuang as it is now.
But in this era of farming, land is king, no matter how rich the businessman is, there are more or less inferior elements, because of this, many people in the business after making some money, have begun to buy a large number of land, like some of the big merchants in the capital today, have a large area of real estate and mountains and forests under their names, it is not an exaggeration to call them "big landlords".
Because she retains the memory of her previous life, Ye Xiaoyu has an innate advantage, and she doesn't want to waste such good conditions and time on the days of "facing the loess with her back to the sky". She wished she had a large piece of land, but the next step in "owning" was to spend some money to hire someone to farm, and she could just sit at home and use her brain to enjoy it, instead of working in the fields with a hoe on her shoulder, dirty, and going out early and returning late.
She also has some money in her hand now, and now she only has 4 acres of land, and it is not difficult to spend a little money to hire people in the village to plant, but the key is that in terms of Lu Yishou, Ye Xiaoyu racked her brains and did not come up with a reasonable reason for Lu Yishou to give up letting her farm.
Headache, headache, what can be done to stop working in the field?
Ye Xiaoyu deserted and hoeed the ground at the same time, the efficiency can be imagined, and it took a whole half day to hoe a small piece.
"Huh? Aren't you that little girl from the Lu family? What's it called? Leaf ......"
Ye Xiaoyu was hoeing, and suddenly someone asked. Turning his head, it seemed that a middle-aged man was standing on the side of the road, bending over to look at Ye Xiaoyu at this time. It looked a little familiar, but Ye Xiaoyu couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
"Uncle Hui, my name is Ye Xiaoyu. It is a distant relative of the Lu family. ”
Although he couldn't recognize who it was, out of basic etiquette, Ye Xiaoyu still replied.
"Yes, I remembered, Ye Xiaoyu. You're Ye Xiaoyu, right? Why did you Uncle Lu let you work here alone, this is too ......"
The middle-aged man frowned and said, The Lu family is a big family, hundreds of acres of fields, and there are many people who cultivate them, so it is too rude for a child to work alone in the field, right? Lu Yishou is too easy to realize.
"Uncle Lu was generous and bought me a few acres of land, which I asked to work in. Anyway, I'm usually idle, so I'll try to help if I can. ”
Ye Xiaoyu replied with a smile, she remembered who the person in front of her was, on the night she first entered the Lu house, that is, on the night when Hong'er found the dead, Ye Xiaoyu had seen him, his name was Liu Shangzhong, he was the village chief of Quanxiu Village, in the words here, he was the Li Zheng of Quanxiu Village, managing the affairs of the village.
"It's good to give you land, but let you work in the field, what does this make the people in the village think......"
Liu Shangzhong shook his head as he spoke, this road is really a guard, he usually looks very smart, how could he do such a thing that makes people talk. If Ye Xiaoyu is Lu Yishou's own child, it may be better, she has a foreign surname, and her poor background is known to everyone in the village, such a child is seen working in the field, whether the Lu family will be mixed up in Quanxiu Village in the future. While the people in the village have not spread the word, he is going to go to Lu's house to find a good talk with Lu Yishou.
When Liu Shangzhong came to Lujiazhuang, Lu Yishou was settling accounts in the account room, last year's harvest was good, the business was also good, and there was a surplus of a thousand taels of silver in a year, and now it is the beginning of the year, he has to plan well.
"Shang Zhong, why do you have time to come here today, if you want to come, say it in advance, I will go to the door to greet our Lord Lizheng......"
Seeing Liu Shangzhong come in, Lu Yishou stood up and quipped, they are playmates who grew up together in the same pair of pants, and when Lu Yishou was in distress before, it was also thanks to Liu Shangzhong's help, so although he and Liu Shangzhong have no relatives, their relationship is better than that of brothers.
"How dare I compare with you, a big landlord with a lot of money. If you want to greet you, I will meet you...... No, you see, I've come to your house to meet you, hahaha......"
Liu Shangzhong laughed heartily, he liked the friendship with Lu Yishou that has not changed for decades.
"Less nonsense, let's go, let's go have a few glasses of wine to warm up......"
Knowing Liu Shangzhong's temperament, Lu Yishou no longer answered, but grabbed his shoulders and was about to take him out.
"One hand, I'm here today to talk to you about business."
Liu Shangzhong stood still, from the first time he heard Lu Yishou's name, he called him "one hand", when he was a child, he thought it was very funny, and then gradually got used to it, Lu Yishou's name became "Lu Yishou" in Liu Shangzhong's dictionary.
"Let's go, let's go, what's the matter, let's talk while drinking, I have saved some good rice wine, and you are satisfied......"
As soon as the road was guarded, there was no doubt, and he pulled Liu Shangzhong and walked out. Seeing him like this, Liu Shangzhong no longer insisted, and followed him to a small room in Beiyuan.
said it was a small house, but it was actually a room in Beiyuan, but there were too many houses in Beiyuan, and there were not many people living in it.
After a few glasses of wine, Liu Shangzhong felt that if he didn't talk about that incident, he would not be able to say it, because the wine they drank today was very strong, and Lu Yishou drank so much that it would not be affected, but he himself was dizzy and about to get drunk.
"One hand, when I passed by your field today, I saw Ye Xiaoyu holding a hoe alone. It's not that I'm talking about you, Ye Xiaoyu's background is known to the whole village, no matter what the reason, this will fall into people's hands......"
Liu Shangzhong took a sip of wine, looked at Lu Yishou on the opposite side and said.
"Huh? Oh, I see. This is my idea, they are not young anymore, and it is time for them to work in the fields. Not only Xiaoyu, but also Lu Qian and my nephew Qinglang are going to go to the ground. You're really ...... Such a serious one, I thought something was going on. ”
Lu Yishou drank a good amount of wine, and even drank a few glasses of stomach, but he was a little hot, his mind was still very clear, and he spoke very neatly.
"But no one else is in the ground, needless to say that Qinglang is your nephew, it is Qianqian, she just relies on you to spoil her, and she doesn't have to go to the ground a few times a year."
Liu Shangzhong's eyes were a little confused, and it seemed that the wine had great stamina.
"But I've told them all the rules, and it's not good to take it back now."
Liu Shangzhong's words Lu Yishou listened to them, among these children, Ling Yu and Qinglang are all outsiders, and it is not easy for him to ask them to do anything, Lu Qian is so virtuous, speaking of which, it is indeed Ye Xiaoyu who is the most obedient. But if she was the only one working in the field every day, he would be poked in the back by the villagers sooner or later. I obviously have good intentions, how did I become like this?
