Fortunately, Zhulan was happy in September, because the publicity was good, everyone knew that there were late watermelons and melons in Lizhou City, and there were many fruit merchants in Lizhou City.

Zhulan's family planted 50 acres of watermelons and melons, but unfortunately the problem of variety, the ancient watermelon yield is not high, there is no modern 5,000 catties of an acre of land, and because of the problem of land, there is no chemical fertilizer and pesticides, Zhulan's one acre of land is considered to be a good service of only 1,000 catties, except for some rabbits and other wild things that have been bitten, can be sold only 600 catties.

Because it is a late watermelon, and there are many foreign traders, the price is more expensive, and the early watermelon is 20 yuan a catty, and the price is the same as the early watermelon.

Zhulan's family has forty acres of watermelons, ten acres of melons, the yield of melons is even lower, there are many wild things, rats and rabbits are not less to eat, no matter how much manpower can not be prevented at night, even if the fence is useless, who let the rats make holes, one acre of melons can be sold only three hundred catties.

And don't look at the watermelon on 40 acres of land, in fact, there are six acres of land that are out of production, all because the seedlings got sick and died, and then they were afraid that they would all be infected, and the seedlings of a few acres of land were isolated before they continued to be infected, and the watermelon field of Zhulan's family was almost extinct.

In ancient times, it was not easy to grow watermelons, don't look at the high price, the people really won't plant, they are afraid of extinction, it is better to grow food safely.

The watermelons are either grown by the landlord's family or by the official's Zhuangzi.

In the end, Zhulan's watermelons and melons were sold, and after removing the cost, they made three hundred taels of silver.

The Yang family did not plant less, because there was no manpower invested by the Zhulan family, and they didn't earn much, one hundred and twenty taels.

Other followers have made money and lost money, and there are those who are out of production, the risk is too great, and many households are not ready to plant in the coming year.

Zhulan is not going to be planted in the coming year, she is going to plant fruit trees, a few acres of land with germs, and Zhulan plans to empty it first.

After finishing the watermelon, it is time for Zhulan's land to prepare for the autumn harvest, Boss Zhou is responsible for this, and Zhulan doesn't have to worry about it.

In the evening, Zhulan calculated the account and said to Zhou Shuren: "After selling the apples, when the second child arrives, I want to take the second child to the south to buy Zhuangzi." ”

She has been thinking about Zhuangzi for a long time, and she can buy it when the funds are returned.

Zhou Shuren touched his belly, which had grown a lot of meat, and held Zhulan's hand, "I can't leave Lizhou." ”

Zhulan, "Don't worry, there are a few children who are fine." ”

Zhou Shuren hugged Zhulan, he didn't want to be separated from Zhulan, however, if Zhulan didn't leave, he couldn't surprise Zhulan, he had planned it, but he never had a chance to act, "A back and forth for at least a month and a half." ”

Zhulan held Zhou Shuren's hand, "Look, you have gone out alone, and I will also go out for a trip, and when Zhou Lao Er can go out on his own in the future, I will not go anywhere." ”

Zhulan has never been to Jiangnan since she came, if she waits for Zhou Shuren to take her there I don't know when, thinking of Jiangnan, Zhulan wants to see it in person, the only pity is that Zhou Shuren can't accompany her.

Zhou Shuren snorted in his heart, don't think he didn't see the excitement in Zhulan's eyes, but it is indeed difficult for him to take Zhulan to Jiangnan, unless he is transferred to Jiangnan as an official, but there is little hope, according to his understanding of the emperor, after Lizhou City is on the right track, the emperor will definitely not let him waste time in Lizhou City.

As for where to go, Zhou Shuren squinted, he already knew it in his heart, but when he thought of the emperor's words on his fold, Zhou Shuren's heart hurt, and he even asked him how much the tax estimate of Lizhou City was this year!!

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and covered his heart, the emperor has no conscience, he will only keep squeezing you, the yamen finally took back the chicken's money, and the fruit is still on the tree, this one is not painful to remember!

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to reply, "Speak! ”

Zhou Shuren, "Okay, but the eldest and second have to bring me to rest assured." ”

Zhulan kissed Zhou Shuren, "Cheng, listen to you." ”

Early the next morning, not long after Zhou Shuren left, Zhulan received a post from Zheng Hong's house, Zheng Hong was very suspicious, Zhulan's family came for more than half a year, and Zheng Hong never gave a post.

Zhulan asked Steward Ding, "Did the housekeeper who sent the post say anything?" ”

Steward Ding said: "The housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion said that the old man is here. ”

Zhulan, "......."

Old Man Zheng is here, it makes sense, it stands to reason that they should be going to visit, but Zheng Hong's position is sensitive, and he has the relationship with the Yang family, Zhou Shuren is really not good to come to the door in person, it seems that Old Man Zheng is going to come to the door.

Zhulan looked at the date of the visit, and knew that it was the day of Zhou Shuren's rest, "Prepare some dishes suitable for the elderly according to the date, and the dishes should be salty." ”

Steward Ding made a note, "Master, how many people's meals need to be prepared in the kitchen?" ”

Zhulan knew that Zheng Hong's family would not come, and it was estimated that only the old man and his grandson would come to the door, "Just one table." ”

Steward Ding, "I'll go down and make arrangements." ”

In the evening, Zhou Shuren asked the little girl to reply and not come back to eat, after eating, Li accompanied Zhulan, and Zhulan saw that Li was absent-minded, "What do you think?" ”

Li touched her arm, she felt that she had lost a lot of weight, and she was a little unsure in her heart, whether she was pregnant, or was she anxious that her younger siblings were coming, "Mother, have I lost a lot of weight?" ”

Zhulan looked at Li carefully, she has been busy since she came to Lizhou City, and she has not been idle recently, she hasn't paid attention to Li for a long time, Li seems to have lost a lot of weight, her chubby round face has lost weight several times, Zhulan motioned for Li to stand up, "You have lost a lot of weight, have you lost weight?" ”

No, the Lee family is getting fatter and fatter the more they lose weight!

Li's eyes turned red, and the closer she got to her younger siblings, the more anxious she became, "Mother, I haven't rested for several days." ”

Every day I dream that my brothers and sisters are coming, my mother-in-law doesn't like her anymore, she is not as smart as my brothers and sisters, every time I go out with my mother-in-law, many people laugh at her, my mother must like to take my brothers and sisters out.

Zhulan thought that Li was sick, and called Liu Ya, "Let people call the doctor." ”

Looking at Li's miserable appearance, Zhulan's heart was mentioned, and she already thought about a lot of bad illnesses in her mind.

Li Shi felt panicked in her heart, and she didn't hear what her mother-in-law said, she just wanted to vent, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Mother, I know that everyone laughs at me outside, I don't know how to laugh at me, I laugh at me vulgarly, mother, don't you like me anymore." ”

Zhulan really knows this, even if she teaches Li again, Li still doesn't know anything other than cooking, plus she has a loud voice, she has been isolated from attending banquets several times, she is distressed, she likes Li's Hanhan, and when she invited her again, she never went again.

Not only did she not go, but she also said why she didn't go, her own Hanhan could only tease her, since she protected the Li family, no one embarrassed the Li family in person, and the Li family became the object of envy, whose mother-in-law protects her daughter-in-law so much!

The corners of Zhulan's mouth twitched, how could she think that Li's tears were a little too much, her mood fluctuations were too big, Li's crying was still a howling cry, which shocked Zhulan's ears to hurt.

Boss Zhou was frightened before he entered the house, and knelt down as soon as he came in, "Mother, if the Li family does anything wrong, it will be bad for the son, if you want to blame the son!" ”

Li didn't cry anymore, and looked at the master, "You did something wrong." ”

Boss Zhou was a little confused, "Did I really do something wrong?" Nope! ”

Li frowned, "Could it be that I really did something wrong?" ”

Zhulan, "......."

These two people really deserve to be a couple, their brain circuits are the same, and they all remember to do something wrong!

Zhulan closed her eyes, she didn't plan to look at the eldest couple, she could see that the Li family was not sick!

The doctor came quickly, and when the doctor came, Zhulan opened her eyes, she already knew what was wrong with Li, and motioned to the doctor to show Li.

The Li family and the boss have long since stopped, and the two of them know that there is a big oolong quail!

Li Shi saw the doctor, "I'm not sick. ”

Zhulan glared at Li, and Li obediently shut up.
