Chapter 256: Mushroom Harvest

"Sir, sir, you're finally backโ€”"

As soon as he saw Lu Yishou, the facial features on Lao Wu's face were squeezed together, and his sad expression was about to overflow from his face, and people who didn't know thought that his relatives had died in his own family.

"During your absence, only Mrs. and Miss are at home, and Uncle Geng is old, but it is really inconvenient for me to stay here as an adult, so I will move to my son's house in Qingkou Town for a while. I'll move back when you come back......"

Lao Wu said it with emotion.

"How was the rent last year?"

Knowing that Lao Wu was slippery, and what he said was reasonable, Lu Yishou didn't want to delve into it anymore, so he asked about the land rent instead.

The 100 acres of land in Jiayang Village have a good income from annual rent.

"Alas, sir, you don't know anything about the southern side, the situation last year was different from previous years, I took a lot of effort, how much land rent was confiscated, but people were beaten violently. You see, I've been hoeed here, and my chest hurts. I've been taking medicine latelyโ€”"

Lao Wu said, pointing to his chest with a finger, his face was very aggrieved.

"Madam, don't send it, mother-in-law, I'll just go by myself......"

"Then Mrs. Liu, slow down and be careful on the road."

The courtyard was chatting here, but there was the sound of Jiang Ping sending off guests.

As soon as the voice fell, an old woman wearing a dark gold pattern and a red embroidered jacket appeared in the courtyard through the shade of the tree, and when she saw that it was a road guard, she bowed her head and bowed respectfully. However, his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on Ye Xiaoyu and Lu Qian.

Ye Xiaoyu remembered this person, and she was the one she saw at the gate of Lujiazhuang when she just came back that day.

"Sir. If you go back to the south this time, the harvest should be good, right? โ€

was interrupted by Liu Po, and the fifth child decided to take the initiative himself.

"What a harvest, it's not the same as it used to be."

Thinking of the days in Rongzhou, Lu Yishou felt a palpitation.

"Money is something outside the body, and it is good for people to be safe......"

Lao Wu carefully observed the changes in the expression on Lu Yishou's face, and after finding that there was no way to determine the doubts in his heart, he planned to leave first.

He didn't want to see Jiang Ping now, as soon as that woman saw him, she would definitely think of the matter of the title deed of Jiayang Village, which was still being done. You must not let Lu Yishou know.

Lu Yishou smiled bitterly. There was no further reply.

Rongzhou's experience is definitely the saddest experience in his life, he has traveled south to the north for most of his life, endured hunger, and suffered from freezing; I have endured the white eyes of my customers. also over the board; But he has never been locked up in a dark prison like this.

Running transport makes a lot of money though. But after this. But he didn't want to do it anymore. made up his mind to keep the fields at home, and watched Lu Qian get married and live the rest of his life with peace of mind.

"Mother. Why did the mother-in-law still come to the house? โ€

Walking into the house, Lu Qian asked Jiang Ping a little annoyed.

"She came to talk to her mother about something, the children's family, the adults' affairs are left alone......"

Jiang Ping bypassed Lu Qian, walked to the cupboard, took a plate of boiled beans, and put it on the coffee table.

I didn't buy any New Year's goods for the New Year this year, and the snacks were even less pitiful, and in previous years, they could last until March, but this year just after January. But there are so many people in the Lu family, especially Lu Qian, who usually have to eat something, so Jiang Ping instructed Hong'er to cook some beans harvested in the field last year, boil them in water, add some salt, and put them on a plate, which tasted pretty good.

"What's the matter? It's better not the things I think. โ€

Lu Qian muttered quietly, grabbed a few beans from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth, and then went out again.

Liu Yu is not here, she is very bored, and plans to go to Nanyuan to find Ye Xiaoyu to pass the time.

Nanyuan is as busy as ever, but Ye Xiaoyu is quite idle, since she set up a small workshop and hired a few female workers, she said goodbye to the days of getting up early and embroidering handkerchiefs in the dark.

When Lu Qian came in, Ye Xiaoyu was practicing calligraphy seriously on the table.

"Don't practice, just your level of writing, and practicing for another ten years will be this virtue......"

Knowing that it was Lu Qian again, Ye Xiaoyu raised her head and gave her a fierce look.

"Don't talk nonsense, my handwriting is obviously much better now than when I was in the academy before, okay?"

Glancing at the words on the white paper on the table, Ye Xiaoyu was not convinced.

"That's what you're used to. Could it be that you still want to write as good as Ling Yu? โ€

Lu Qian said with a smile, but suddenly thought of something, and the smile on his face slowly solidified.

She remembered the time when everyone was in the academy together, at that time Ling Yu was still obedient to her, obviously it was only two years ago, but it was like a previous life.

"Not really, I just want to write better than you."

Ye Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Qian playfully.

"What do you say is going on at Fat Liu's house, why haven't you come back yet?"

Lu Qian didn't pay attention to Ye Xiaoyu's joke, but sat on another chair with a pout.

"What's the matter, it's only been a few days since we were apart, and I'm starting to miss it?"

Ye Xiaoyu continued to bow her head and write, asking casually.

"Come less, who will miss a stupid fat man, I'm really worried about whether something will happen to his family."

The worry on Lu Qian's face was palpable.

In fact, it is not so much worried about Liu Yu as she is worried about herself.

After her father came back, there were a lot fewer matchmakers who came to say goodbye, but only Mrs. Liu still came to the door frequently, and every time she came back, she hid in the house with her mother and chattered, which made Lu Qian particularly uneasy.

It's true that she has big nerves, but she's not a fool, especially when she sees her mother's expression getting more and more wrong recently, Lu Qian always thinks that something will happen.

But she really didn't know how to talk to Ye Xiaoyu about this, such a humiliating thing, and most of it was still her own speculation, she really couldn't say it.

"Don't think about it so much, Liu Yu has you in my eyes......"

Ye Xiaoyu wrote the last stroke heavily, and realized that Lu Qian's mood didn't seem to be quite right, so he put the brush on the pen stand.

Thinking that Ye Xiaoyu, who was so smart, would have guessed her thoughts, Lu Qian pursed her lips and did not answer.

The family has just begun to return to normal, although she is still watching Liu Yu, but she hopes that her mother will not have nothing to do, and she will do more.

Ye Xiaoyu is not an immortal, of course, it is impossible to know everything, because she doesn't know what happened at home during that time, Ye Xiaoyu certainly doesn't know about Lu Qian's being disturbed by the matchmaker, and naturally can't understand Lu Qian's thoughts at this time.

March in Quanxiu Village is still a little chilly. Ye Xiaoyu followed Lu Yishou to stand on the ridge, looking at the small mushroom houses that were being demolished on the endless paddy fields, and felt a little emotion in her heart.

It's been a long time since she's been in the field, four months, maybe more, and the last time she's been in the field was when the first snow had just fallen.

Quanxiu Village is planted with single-season rice, and it must be planted in April at the latest, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the good season of autumn harvest if it is late. So all these mushroom houses will be demolished in the next few days.

Before demolishing these mushroom rooms, someone has been sent to inspect the mushrooms inside, and after these months of cultivation, the mushrooms in the mushroom room have all grown, and after deducting some rotten ones, the remaining shape and appearance are very good. After all, it is artificially cultivated, and it is much better than the wild wild mushrooms with uneven shapes on the market.

"You can even think of using paddy fields to grow mushrooms, Xiaoyu, what do you have in your little head?"

Lu Yishou turned his head and said to Ye Xiaoyu with a smile, his eyes full of approval.

He naturally knows the price of mushrooms on the market, but before the villagers took advantage of the spring rain to go up the mountain to pick, even if such money is easy to earn, Lu Yishou is too lazy to grab it from others, and people rely on this to eat all year round, just with such a thin person in the Lu family, even if you want to go up the mountain to pick some, you can't grab it. Because of this, although the price of mushrooms is high, Lu Yishou has never had the idea of selling mushrooms.

Saying that in their own fields, planting land, selling grain, and now adding up to supply vegetables, these can make the Lu family's life very good, and there is no need to go up the mountain to grab mushrooms with others.

But when he came back this time, he didn't expect that Ye Xiaoyu would build a mushroom house and grow mushrooms in the idle paddy fields after the autumn harvest when he went south. He had never seen such a thing before.

"This practice is just popularized in our hometown, using the idle paddy fields after the autumn harvest to grow mushrooms, not only do the mushrooms grow faster, but the nutrients left over after planting the mushrooms can also be placed in the field as fertilizer, killing two birds with one stone. A lot of people in our area have started to use this method, and it has worked very well. When I came here, I found that no one here seemed to do this, so I had the courage to try it, and it was a shame that Madame would let me fool around like that......"

Ye Xiaoyu explained with a smile.

In fact, she has no impression of her original hometown at all, but thinking that information and communication are so underdeveloped during this period, a few nonsense words should not be discovered.

Xiaoyu ...... If Brother Ye Qing could see you like this, he would definitely be happy. Pity...... But this blessing has been all won by me, and when that day comes, I will definitely go down and thank Brother Ye Qing well. โ€

The look in Lu Yishou's eyes began to be a little blurry, as if he was covered with a layer of mist.

Knowing that Lu Yishou remembered his original father again, Ye Xiaoyu stood quietly aside.

Because he had to dismantle the mushroom house, pick mushrooms, and deal with the nutrients left in the mushroom house, even if Lu Yishou hired a few more villagers to help, the work in the paddy field was over for more than 10 consecutive days.

But after the mushroom side is over, the rice planting will start again, so during this time, those hired workers really have no time to spare. Lu Yishou naturally saw this situation in his eyes, and without suing Jiang Ping, he took 10 taels of silver from the account room as a subsidy for hired workers. (To be continued......)
