Li Tianbao didn't expect Jiang Yao to find someone to help him.

In the past, when renting land, not to mention that the landlord would help them, sometimes they had to do some day labor for the landlord.

Mr. Qian has calculated it, but he still wants them to help grow vegetables.

I heard that some tenant farmers in Zhuangzi also had to collect firewood for the landlords and do free short-term labor.

So when Jiang Yao said that they needed to give priority to the short-term union, they were not happy at all.

In their opinion, that is the rhetoric of letting them do day labor.

But when Lin Xiaoxi brought someone to help them solve the problem, he was surprised and delighted.

What is surprising is that this landlord seems to be different from other landlords.

The good news is that this shows that Mr. Jiang has not completely given up on him, as long as he saves it, then he should be able to continue renting next year, right?

Therefore, he listened very carefully, and he carefully wrote down all the suggestions they gave, and when he did not understand, he also went from asking a tentative question to asking for advice very naturally.

Lin Xiaoxi and the middle-aged man both explained to him very carefully.

He found that these people in Zhuangzi were completely different from what he had imagined.

At first, he thought they were poor relatives of General Zhao's family who had come to fight the autumn wind.

Later, I found out that although these people were wearing coarse cloth clothes, they were not poor at all, at least Mr. Jiang and this little brother of Xiaoxi did not look like they had not read.

Anyway, it's not easy to look at all.

But just when he felt that they were serious landlords, he heard Lin Xiaoxi ask him: "By the way, Brother Tianbao, is there a bamboo forest near here?" We want to cut some bamboo and make baskets. ”

Li Tianbao was stunned for a moment, and thought: Do the current landlords cut bamboo and weave baskets by themselves?

You know, the bamboo basket used by the farmer is not expensive at all.

Some people prefer to spend a few copper plates to buy it because it is not durable.

Thinking so, Li Tianbao suggested: "Little Brother Xiaoxi, if you want to use a basket, I suggest that you spend a few copper plates to buy a few."

This thing is not expensive, but it is troublesome to make it yourself, not to mention, if there is a hole leaked when you use it, and you lose food and vegetables or something, it is called a bad thing. ”

Li Tianbao said seriously, and Lin Xiaoxi also thanked him sincerely, saying that some of them can weave a strong basket, don't worry.

Hearing this, Li Tianbao no longer persuaded him, and pointed him in the direction and said: "Turning over that hillside, there is a large bamboo forest on the other side of the hillside, and we usually cut bamboo over there. ”

After Lin Xiaoxi asked the route clearly, he asked: "Then which hillside has more gravel, we are going to build a few stoves in a few days......

……

Li Tianbao's difficulties were temporarily solved, and after Lin Xiaoxi also asked what he wanted to know, he took the middle-aged man back to Zhuangzi.

Before leaving, he was very friendly and said, "If you have any questions, go to Zhuangzi to find me." ”

Li Tianbao was flattered and watched Lin Xiaoxi and them enter Zhuangzi......

Zhuangzili.

The villagers are busy.

Although the plums on the hillside are sour, the yield is not small, so a large plum forest, I am afraid that there are a lot of plums picked.

It is not so easy to make so many plums into dried plums.

First of all, building a stove is a big project.

They were going to put the stove outside the kitchen, and there was a well in the courtyard of the kitchen, where it was easier to use water and firewood.

Yesterday evening they went to the hillside to chop some firewood, while the young men were busy building their sheds.

In this way, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy, it will not affect their production of Li Gan.

The women, led by Mrs. Zhou, were busy preparing tea, snacks and lunch inside and outside the kitchen.

There is a vegetable field in Zhuangzi, which was taken care of by tenant farmers in the past, and it was originally for Mr. Qian's family, which saved them from worrying about running out of vegetables to eat.

In addition to building stoves, they also had to prepare enough baskets for plums and jars for pickling plums......

As soon as he saw Lin Xiaoxi coming back, Lin Yougen, who was stepping on a ladder to build a scaffold, asked loudly, "Xiaoxi, are you back?" Say hello? ”

"Don't worry, Brother Yougen, I'll say hello, the bamboo forest is on the hill next to the small hill. When the sun goes down and it's gone, I'll show you the way. ”

After Lin Xiaoxi finished speaking, he turned his head to Lin Dashan not far away, "Big brother, I also said hello to the place where I picked up the stones, and we will go together in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, then you remember to go to your brother Jiang to get the cart." Lin Dashan lowered his head and sawed wood, and answered without raising his head.

This time I came to the capital, and Lin Xiaoxi and Lin Dashan's family from the fourth aunt's family came.

The fourth aunt had no one to take over the affairs of the canteen for the time being, so she could only stay in the col temporarily.

Lin Xiaoxi responded, "Got it." But he didn't rush to find Jiang Yao.

Because he knew that Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu should have entered the city at this time......

In the capital.

Jiang Yao took Jiang Yu to teleport into the city, and then followed the address given by Dr. Lin all the way to find a mansion with a closed gate.

Jiang Yao stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the porter didn't even open the door, but shouted behind the door: "Who is coming, can there be a post?" ”

"Old friends came to visit Mr. Baicao, and the trouble was passed through."

Listening to the young voice outside the door, the porter opened the corner door a little slit, and saw that there were only Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu, so he didn't even pause, and directly closed the corner door again.

Behind the corner door, there was an angry voice from the porter: "I don't lie or make drafts, do you know how old my old lady is?"

At your age, you're still pretending to be old friends!

Hurry up, my old lady is old, and I don't have time to see so many messy people.

If you want to see a doctor, go to Baicaotang, and don't knock on the door again. ”

Jiang Yao's hand handed over the letter, Jiang Yu covered his mouth and snickered on the side, "Da Yao, it seems that this family is not easy to get along with, if you don't forget it, let's go back?" ”

Jiang Yao glared at Jiang Yu and walked straight to the corner door, "Little brother, I didn't make it clear, we were entrusted by an old friend to visit Mr. Baicao."

Here's a letter, I'm tired of passing it through. ”

When the porter heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then the corner door was opened again, and the porter poked his head out and squinted at the envelope handed over by Jiang Yao.

The envelope reads: "Brother Baicao personally opened, Zitao respected." ”

The porter raised his eyes again and carefully looked at the two of them from top to bottom, and saw that the two were well-dressed and looked calm, hesitated for a moment, and closed the corner door again.

"Wait here."

Jiang Yu listened to the footsteps of the porter gradually moving away, and suddenly lowered his shoulders.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yao hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, hugged her chest and waited patiently at the door......

……

In Changfu, an old man with crane hair and a childish face was half-lying on a deck chair by the river fishing.

In the distance, the porter was talking to the butler about the door.

The little brother of the porter was ready to be scolded by the housekeeper, who knew that after the housekeeper listened to his words, he would go to the old lady who was fishing in the river......

By the river, the housekeeper stepped forward lightly and whispered, "Old lady......"
