Chapter 62 The not very harmonious "mother-in-law" relationship
The man who wanted to sell the land said, "It's not that I didn't remind you, the land in Kyoto Castle is not easy to plant, the land here is a little dry, and the harvest is not very good." β
When Xi Hongdou heard this, he thought about what he wanted to plant, so he asked, "Is it dry soil?" β
"Isn't it, it's not easy to water here, and the water from the moat is not allowed to drain, so you can only use water trucks to transport water by yourself." The man said.
Xi Hongdou smiled: "Then how much land do you have?" β
The man said: "There are ten acres, outside the city, but it is not far away, but the water is inconvenient, I planted for a year, lost a lot, and the money was divided among the long-term workers, I thought about selling the land and paying back the account!" He is also fast-talking, and after speaking, he is afraid that Xi Hongdou will not dare to buy land.
Xi Hongdou was happy, so he said, "Then can I follow and take a look?" "She also has to match the location and title deed, and she has to see if the distance is far away. The main thing she wants is to grow cumin, and the drought point is just right.
"Cheng, come with me." The man said.
Brother Hu saw that Xi Hongdou was going to see the land with someone, so he whispered: "Take someone with you, there seem to be a lot of bad people in this Kyoto City!" β
Xi Hongdou felt reasonable, so she asked Sister-in-law Hu to help look at the store for a while, and let Brother Hu go with her.
I followed the man to see the land, the title deed and the lot are not bad, Xi Hongdou looked at it, and felt that the area was really not small, and there was a small wooden house on the land, and it was okay to live in it, so he said: "Yes, let's go to the yamen to pass the paperwork first!" β
The man said, "Are you sure?" I'll tell you the truth, don't say I'm fooling you! When the time comes, the weeds will grow stronger than the seedlings! β
"I know, I'll buy it!" Xi Hongdou smiled: "Go to the Yamen to pass the paperwork, and then I won't blame you even if I lose it!" β
The three of them walked towards the city, and as soon as they entered the city gate, a carriage passed by them, and soon the carriage stopped, and it was Su Huiwan who poked out of it.
"Girl." Su Huiwan screamed.
Xi Hongdou looked up, and after finding that it was Su Huiwan, he said, "Miss Su? Something? β
"It's fine, but can you help me ask your young master to go to the teahouse when I go back?" Su Huiwan asked softly.
Xi Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Go to the teahouse?" What are you doing? β
"Of course it'......" Su Huiwan didn't finish speaking, her face turned red first, and she said, "You can help me convey it." β
"This ...... Xiao Zhi has a fiancΓ©e, Miss Su's ......" Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of bloody scene is this?
When Su Huiwan heard this, she said, "Isn't her fiancΓ©e a small family, you can help me convey a sentence, this is yours." So saying, he took a mina of silver.
Xi Hongdou looked at the silver in Su Huiwan's hand, and estimated that there would be one or two, but he still said, "I don't want money, and I won't convey it." After speaking, she turned her head and continued to walk, she was still in a hurry to go to the yamen to pass the land deed papers.
Su Huiwan saw that Xi Hongdou had refuted her face like this, and she was not convinced, how could a little girl dare to be so arrogant and talk to her like this?
"You are the maid of the Xiao family, what's wrong with sending a message to your young master?" Su Huiwan asked the driver to drive slowly, and she sat in the car and kept chasing Xi Hongdou to talk.
Xi Hongdou saw that Su Huiwan was a little difficult, so he said, "Don't care who I am, I just don't want to pass on a message to you." β
"That's how the Xiao family disciplines their subordinates?" Su Huiwan was surprised, the maid was arrogant like this, she had already been beaten, right?
Xi Hongdou is also speechless, this Su Huiwan is not finished yet!
"Why don't you go directly to the Xiao family to complain, I won't convey this!" After Xi Hongdou finished speaking, he hurriedly led people to turn around, which can be regarded as dumping Su Huiwan.
Brother Hu saw Xi Hongdou arguing with Miss Qianjin, so he said, "Girl, was that young lady's family so messy just now?" β
"It's good to mess with it." Xi Hongdou said, this Su Huiwan was also slow to react.
"If this offends, we ordinary people can't fight them." Brother Hu was a little worried that Xi Hongdou would be troubled in the future.
Xi Hongdou was not afraid, so he said: "What is love! Then he hurried to the yamen to read the paperwork.
The title deed is in hand, and she is also a person who has land in Kyoto City, if she can have a piece of land in Beijing's Sixth Ring Road before crossing over, she will also be a little rich woman. It didn't cost much to buy land, but she couldn't go to the field every day, so she had to hire some workers in the field.
When he returned to the store, Brother Hu said, "Sister, if you ask the farmers to come and help?" β
When Xi Hongdou heard this, he remembered that there should be a lot of people in the refugee gathering point outside the city, so he said, "Yes, is there a reliable person in Brother Hu?" β
Brother Hu was happy, this time he came here from his hometown to beg for food, not only his family, but also other relatives and friends, so he asked, "How many people do you want?" β
Xi Hongdou thought about it for a while, and said: "Three, you don't need to water much, after sowing, you usually hoe the grass, and three is enough." β
Brother Hu asked, "When do you want it?"
Xi Hongdou said: "The sooner the better, the climate here in Kyoto City is cold, and I am afraid that no matter how late it is, it will not grow even if it is sown." β
Brother Hu hurriedly went to find someone, and at this time, Sister-in-law Hu came over to speak: "If we hadn't met the girl, my family would have starved to death." β
Xi Hongdou smiled, to be honest, in the face of great difficulties, there are still too few things that one person can do.
"Hire no one to hire." Xi Hongdou said, some things really depend on fate, meeting is fate, she can't take care of everyone, but it is also a happy thing for her to be able to help others.
Xi Hongdou went home to get the seeds first, and he didn't know if the seeds on his side could be planted on ten acres of land, and he didn't know if the land in Kyoto City could really make the seeds grow.
The workers were all found, and one of them was also surnamed Hu, who was the brother of Brother Hu's family, and everyone was called Hu Er. There are also two surnamed Zhou, who are the younger brothers of Hu's sister-in-law's mother's family, and the three of them are just like that.
"Let's go, let's go to the ground first." Xi Hongdou led the people to look at their land outside the city first, and said: "It is estimated that it has not been cultivated in the spring, and the land does not like to grow things, but don't worry, our wages are paid daily, as long as you work, you will have money, even if the land is really not long, your money will not be deducted." Xi Hongdou said: "But you also have to be diligent, if I can produce something in this land, I will also plant it in the future, and you will always be able to make money!" β
Hearing Xi Hongdou's words, the three of them were very happy, they originally ate relief food, but seeing that summer was coming, the court didn't know how long the grain would last, so they could only find their own food.
When Brother Hu heard this, he said: "The girl is kind-hearted, she must not lose you, you all work hard, don't mess around!" β
"Yes, yes, we must do a good job!" Hu Er nodded, it was too difficult for farmers like them to find a job in the city, they didn't know anything, and other shops didn't look down on them, plus they were refugees, and they didn't dare to hire them because they were afraid that their hands and feet would not be clean. Now that they can find a job as a farmer and pay every day, they will definitely be able to survive this winter, and their relatives in the clan will be able to help them, and if they save some more money, the family will have the money to buy two kinds of money for the next year.
Xi Hongdou's breeding industry began like this, now it is just agriculture, and in the future, we will see if the animal husbandry and aquaculture industry can also be carried forward, and the supply source of their own food street is the best!
Xi Hongdou went home in the evening, and he was tired from running around this day, and he couldn't walk in the yard anymore.
Xiao Zhi still wanted to pick up Xi Hongdou back, but he didn't expect Xi Hongdou to come back early today.
"Why did you come back so early today? Tired? Xiao Zhi asked with a smile.
Xi Hongdou sighed: "I'm tired." β
Xiao Zhi went over to help Xi Hongdou pinch his shoulder twice, but Mrs. Xiao saw it and hurriedly came over.
"What kind of system is this? A man pinched a woman's shoulder, which made people see it, and it was a joke! Mrs. Xiao's fingers were about to poke Xiao Zhi's face: "You are so good!" β
Xi Hongdou hurriedly asked Xiao Zhi not to pinch it, and said: "I didn't pinch it, I just accidentally touched it, it looks like pinching, not pinching!" Hurriedly perfunctory, and then glanced at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi was speechless, so he said, "Well, I didn't pinch it." β
Mrs. Xiao calmed down and said, "Go wash your hands first, and eat later." β
Xi Hongdou hurriedly went back to the yard to wash his hands, and Xiao Zhi followed along, and said, "Tell you a secret?" β
"What's the secret?" Xi Hongdou was curious.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, I've seen my father pinch my mother's shoulder!" "Just like her mother, she is actually afraid that Xi Hongdou will form a habit.
When Xi Hongdou heard this, he wanted to laugh and said, "It seems that the matter of pinching the shoulder is really fine behind closed doors and no one sees it." β
Xiao Zhi nodded, and then went over to pinch Xi Hongdou's shoulder, at this time Mrs. Xiao happened to walk to the door, wanting to ask Xiao Zhi what he wanted to eat at night, but it turned out that Xiao Zhi secretly pinched Xi Hongdou's shoulder, but after thinking about it at the door, he didn't go in the end.
At dinner, Xi Hongdou said that he had bought land again, and he had taken care of the farmers to come and pick it up, and Master Xiao was very surprised: "Can the land in Kyoto City be planted?" "He is from the household department, and he knows the most about the farming of the common people, and the land here in Kyoto Castle is really difficult to grow any crops.
Xi Hongdou said: "Try it first." β
Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "It's buying a shop and buying a place again, you have done a lot of things here in Kyoto City!" β
Xi Hongdou smiled embarrassedly: "I just can't stay idle......"
Xiao Zhi said at this time: "Now Hongdou has more industries than me. β
Mrs. Xiao was speechless: "Look at you like that, wait for the two of us to stare at each other, why aren't they all yours?!" β
Master Xiao said: "Don't mention the matter of kicking your legs when you eat......"
Mrs. Xiao sighed, Xi Hongdou has taken root in this Xiao Mansion, everyone in the family is looking to Xi Hongdou, and even the maids listen to Xi Hongdou, where is the majesty of her future mother-in-law?
