Lin Changqing, the village head, has been very happy recently, not only because he is better than the rice seedlings raised by others, but also because he planted them earlier than others. Also because since he told the villagers about the method of raising seedlings, his prestige in the village has been greatly improved, and the people who used to see him as the village chief now begin to admire him. In this era of self-cherishing broomsticks, he not only did not hide this method, but taught it to everyone without reservation, which made his prestige in the village unprecedentedly high. Everyone in the village thinks that they did not choose the wrong village chief in the first place. Lin Changqing walked in the village, and everyone took the initiative to say hello and talk.

However, Lin Changqing still maintained his rationality, and was not carried away by all kinds of praise voices, he knew that without Lin Zhu, it would be impossible to have today's situation, so he asked Aunt Li to be at Lin Zhu's house, first, to express his gratitude, and secondly, to see if there was anything he could help with, and he also did his best.

Wang Shudun's family also knew about this method, and also told the people around him, but his family was not a native of the Lin family, although he was also thanked by the villagers, but compared to the achievements of the village chief Lin Changqing in terms of prestige, they seemed a little insignificant. Fortunately, this family is not the kind of flamboyant family, but from these things, the Wang family decided that if Lin Zhu asked them anything, they would definitely help them to the end.

So on this day, Aunt Li and Guo happened to go to Lin Zhu's house together, and when they saw that she had finished turning over the family's vegetable patch, they both complained in their hearts that they were late.

Lin Zhu was very happy to see the arrival of the two and invited them into the house to drink tea. After knowing the intention of the two of them, Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Auntie, you and Aunt Guo are too polite. In fact, I was still playing drums in my heart a few days ago, what if the seedlings you raised according to my method didn't grow well? Thanks to Uncle Lin and Uncle Wang's courage. Lin Zhu paused and said. In fact, it's good that this method is spread out, and we can't let the villagers complain about us behind our backs. ”

"It's yours in the end. This made us pick up the cheap, and the people in the village only thanked us, but in fact, they really wanted to thank you. Aunt Li said with a sigh. Yes, your Uncle Wang was still thinking about telling everyone that this method is yours, but he was stopped by our old man, I can't remember the original words, but he means that you are still young, and it is not a good thing for you to know that you are too capable. "It seems that I didn't learn my father-in-law's words correctly, so I thought about it and continued." It's not capable, how to say it, it's early, early. Aunt Guo clapped her hands, "That's right, it's called Zaohui." ”

Lin Zhu didn't expect that the Wang family had such a wise elder who could say such things, and it was impossible for him to be the kind of person who was illiterate. It is impossible to be unknown in such a small mountain village. As if seeing Lin Zhu's question, Aunt Guo explained, "In the early years, my old man went to private school for a few years. We worked as a shopkeeper, and we moved here because of the disaster in our hometown. ”

"Yes, Old Man Wang does know more than others. Several of his children know how to read and write. Your Uncle Lin also saw that Old Man Wang was like this, so he sent my second child to study. It is said that reading is not for fame, but for reason. Aunt Li remembered when she sent her second son to a private school. I don't want to, but fortunately, my son is a piece of reading material, and he is also angry, and my husband also thinks that he has a great future, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on to it for a long time, after all, reading is a big expense.

Aunt Guo also sighed that if it weren't for the fact that the situation at home was not very good, she also wanted to send her youngest son to study, which would be like the current family, and she would go around to help people. Life is not easy, and they have suffered a lot. Even Aunt Li remembered the difficult days before, and sighed.

Seeing that the more the two of them talked, the farther away from today's main purpose, Lin Zhu didn't speak, just quietly listened to them talk about their parents' shortcomings. Until Aunt Li realized herself, "Yo, look at the two of us, we are here to see Xie Lu and Xie Xiaozhu today, but the more we talk about it, the farther and farther we go." "No, I really shouldn't, say these long-winded things in front of Xiaozhu." Aunt Guo also reacted at this time.

Lin Zhu didn't care, listening to them to chat honestly could also give her a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of this era, it was always good for her to have a little more knowledge, she couldn't stay in this small mountain village all her life, she had to go outside to see.

The two sat for a while, and then they were ready to go home, Lin Zhu asked the two of them to take a part of the cuttings of the wolfberry tree she collected from the mountain, because it was said last year, and the two did not refuse, but complained that Lin Zhu should not go up the mountain alone, and asked them to go, which could be a little easier.

Lin Zhu couldn't say that he wasn't actually tired, so he had to say that they were busy, and he didn't want to miss the best time to collect.

After sending the grateful two out of the city, Lin Zhu went to Chang's mother to take a break and tease Fu Dou'er again. Fu Dou'er is getting bigger and bigger, and he has more waking time, and he is very active, his little head always likes to turn around, and he speaks Martian language that no one understands in his mouth, and his arms and legs also like to kick around. So when the sun is not very big, Chang's mother will take him outside to play for a while, which is half an hour shorter and a quarter of an hour longer.

What Lin Zhu didn't expect was that Hei Dou'er actually liked Fu Dou'er very much, and he screamed around him without incident, echoing Fu Dou'er's wow. Lin Zhu always smiled and said to Chang's mother that Heidou'er is older than Fu Dou'er, this is her brother taking her younger brother, Chang's mother always said that she is crooked, how can she mix people and dogs together as brothers.

As the weather gets warmer and warmer, Lin Zhu gradually sprouts and grows pepper peanuts and watermelon seeds, and transplants them into the ground, because Lin Zhu has already been fertilized in the ground. There are sheep at home, and the sheep manure has long been collected by Lin Zhu and prepared to be used as top dressing in the field.

When Lin Zhu planted these, the village chief's family and the Wang family had people come to help, all for free, although the two families didn't know how Lin Zhu could grow watermelons, how to know the planting methods that they didn't even understand, and they were curious about what the peanuts and peppers looked like when they were planted, Lin Zhu just said that she had heard Lin Steward talk before, saying that these were more valuable than farming, so she wanted to try planting.

No one doubts this statement, although Manager Lin did not farm when he was here, but he was indeed generous, as long as he had money, who would want to farm. This depends on the sky to eat, and there is no guarantee. So everyone accepted her explanation.

In the blink of an eye, the wolfberries on the mountain began to bear fruit, and Lin Zhu finally had another entry, and she had spent a lot of savings in the past few months, and she didn't want to move the ones given by Dr. Zhang, so she became more and more insecure.

The village chief's family also because of the wolfberry cuttings given by Lin Zhu, and now the cuttings have been successful, so this year Aunt Li will not follow Lin Zhu up the mountain to pick wolfberries. So today, only Lin Zhu and Chang's mother went up the mountain to pick.

At the beginning, because of the small growth, Lin Zhu and Chang's mother could still pick it, although it was a little inconvenient to bring Fu Dou'er, but they could still cope with it. When the wolfberries were ripe in large quantities, they were too busy. Lin Zhu and Chang's mother discussed whether to find someone to help, but Chang's mother said that it was best to find a long-term worker, because wolfberries can be picked from May to October, and such a long time can not always be temporary helpers, if people can't come if they have something to do, if they can't finish picking in time, it will definitely bring a lot of losses.

Lin Zhu remembered that when the wolfberry tree was first discovered last year, the wolfberries on the tree that had dried up and rotted, agreed with Chang's mother's opinion. It's just that this kind of life is done by women, and if a man's hand is broken, it is an unnecessary loss.

So Lin Zhu wanted to find someone who knew the roots through Aunt Li, and only did half a day and fifteen wen a day, but he had to do it from May to October. "Such a good thing, I will definitely be able to find a suitable one, don't worry, leave it to the eldest lady." Aunt Li patted her chest and promised.

Sure enough, a few days later, Aunt Li brought a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman to find Lin Zhu. "This is Lin Shun'er's family, her maiden name is Zhang, and she is diligent and capable."

The person Mrs. Li found was called Li Guihua, and she was a widow. Her husband died of illness five years ago, and her in-laws took away half of the land on the grounds that she would be able to support the elderly in the future, and sold two acres of land because she had to repay the money her husband had borrowed when he was looking for a doctor, and now her family only has two acres of medium paddy fields. She has a son and a daughter, a daughter who is already married, and a son who is only 12 years old. Those two acres of land can only be hungry for the two of them, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to think about starting a family for their son in the future. can't let her daughter subsidize from time to time, so when Aunt Li found her and wanted her to work for Lin Zhu's family, and explained that she was only doing half a day's work and couldn't delay the work in her own field, she immediately agreed.

Since it was introduced by Aunt Li, Lin Zhu didn't have any opinions, so she agreed to let her come the next day, and warned her that she couldn't just talk outside when she was doing things at home.

After sending her away, Aunt Li told Lin Zhu that this Li Guihua was originally from the same village as Aunt Li, honest, a little stupid, and couldn't say anything nice to please her mother-in-law, so she was pinched by her mother-in-law after her husband's death and lost her land. Her husband used to be a well-known real person in the village, and the family had a good reputation in the village, so he was relieved to introduce him to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu was very grateful to Aunt Li for worrying about her affairs again. only said that in the future, when she was free, let Ruyu and Youqing come over to play.

After Aunt Li left, Lin Zhu asked Chang's mother, "Chang's mother, what do you think of this Li Guihua?" "Well, it doesn't look like a fancy person now, and I'm sure I'll do a good job for my son." Lin Zhu is now a little dependent on Chang's mother, and feels that she has experienced a lot of people, and she should be better at seeing people than her, so she will discuss things with her. And Chang's mother can always give Lin Zhu correct and reasonable advice, which makes Lin Zhu feel more and more that she is not just an ordinary housekeeper mother, but may have other inconvenient life experiences. However, Lin Zhu felt that as long as it didn't endanger her and Fu Dou'er, she wouldn't ask Chang's mother anything. (To be continued......)
