Yu Tang looked at his father.

Yu Wen is obviously aware of this problem as well.

He smiled bitterly at his daughter and said, "Mr. Shen is really a man of his word!" ”

If someone else encounters such a thing, it may be forgotten, but Shen Shanyan tried every means to help them get a sea buckthorn sapling.

These kindnesses can only be remembered in the heart and slowly repaid.

Yu Tang thought about it and smiled at his father: "Daddy, then let Ah Tao hurry up and take Wang Si back to the old mansion!" The sapling has been on the road for almost two months, and now is not a good season for transplanting, in case the ...... "does not live, will it not live up to everyone's efforts."

Yu Wen also thought so, and hurriedly called Ah Tao over and told him.

Yu Tang carefully asked Mrs. Chen to prepare some food, so that Wang Si could eat enough before hurrying.

Wang Si ate dry food all the way, and sometimes in order to save, he only ate a few mouthfuls of bread a day to satisfy his hunger. At this time, the saplings were delivered, and they could eat a meal with soup, I didn't know how grateful I was, I didn't even go to the table, I squatted at the door of the stove and hula was a wolf, and I was stunned by the double peach who went to the stove room to fetch hot water for Chen.

Wang Si looked at a beautiful maid looking at him, and his face was hot for a while, and he hurriedly explained: "I, I came on this trip, the owner only gave two taels of silver, I have to save a little, I don't know if the owner here will keep me." ”

If the sapling doesn't survive, what will the owner here keep him for?

It is said that there is little land in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them will read some books, or go out to do business, or go to the shop to be an apprentice, and find a way to become a shopkeeper. An illiterate person like him, who can only sell coolies, will not only be looked down upon, but also have a hard time finding work.

Shuangtao was a little unhappy when he saw that he missed the Yu family so much, and argued for the Yu family: "Our owner is not that kind of person. If you don't want to stay, our host will definitely not lose your travel expenses to go back. ”

Wang Si looked at Dunhou Mune, but he was actually a thoughtful person, otherwise he would not have taken this errand. Seeing Shuangtao say this, he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "I know that the owner is a good person, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to satisfy the owner in doing things." ”

It's kind of a talker.

Shuangtao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You just have to work hard, our owner will never treat people badly!" ”

Wang Si smiled gratefully, but thought in his heart, whether it was a loss or not, it would take a while to know. However, the maid of this family can help the owner speak like this, it can be seen that this family is not much worse, it depends on whether he can stand on his feet.

He didn't dare to delay, and after three or two meals, he rushed to the Yu family's old house with Ah Yuan.

Yu Tang sent away the sapling, took his father's arm and walked back: "How is the business in Suzhou?" ”

Yu Wen's eyebrows danced: "I have agreed with you Wu Shibo and will leave early tomorrow morning." At this point, he let out an "oops" and said, "How did I forget about this just now?" Tomorrow I'm going to Suzhou Mansion, the old mansion ......"

It's just planting a tree, and it doesn't have to be her father to watch it.

Yu Tang smiled: "Brother also followed you to Suzhou Mansion?" Your side matters. I'll just go back by myself tomorrow. After planting a tree, I will talk to that Wang Si to see how others are, and if they stay, what else can they do? ”

They had already hired a forest watchman before, and if the two of them could do the same thing, with the benefits of their mountain forest, they would inevitably only be able to keep one.

Yu Wen thought about Wang Si's sturdy body and said, "I think, if there are no two people on the other side of the mountain forest, let Wang Si come to our house to do some chores." I heard that life in the west is not easy, he has come all the way, if he can leave people behind, he will leave people, and there is no shortage of this bite to eat at home. After a long time, he may be able to find another errand in Lin'an City, and we can be regarded as doing a good deed. ”

Yu Tang knew that it would be like this.

Her father and mother are very kind-hearted.

However, their family made a windfall by selling public opinion, and it would be a good thing if they could help others.

"I see." Yu Tang replied with a smile.

Yu Wen was very pleased with his daughter's performance, and said: "Your brother will also follow us to Suzhou Mansion tomorrow, and Ah Yuan will stay at home, and you will instruct him if you have anything." ”

If Wang Si stays, where will his father go, there is also a person in the family who can run errands and carry things.

Yu Tang nodded again and again, thinking that as long as Wang Si was honest and willing to do something, she would leave people behind.

The next day, after she sent Yu Wen and Yu Yuan away, she returned to the old mansion.

Wang Si had already planted the tree overnight, and lived with the forest keeper invited by the Yu family at night. However, seeing that the forest guard's face was not so good, it can be seen that the arrival of Wang Si still made him feel the crisis.

Yu Tang doesn't like intrigue, she said bluntly to the forest guard: "I asked Wang Si to make a special trip to plant this sea buckthorn tree, and you are still responsible for other things on this mountain." You also have to find a way to help Wang Si plant this tree alive. Otherwise, there is no need for someone to guard this mountain forest. ”

Shoulin didn't think of the connection before, but now when he heard Yu Tang say this, he immediately changed his mind and assured Yu Tang: "I will definitely help Wang Si plant this tree alive." ”

If the sea buckthorn tree can survive, the mountain forest must be slowly replaced with sea buckthorn trees. There are forty or fifty acres of forest in this mountain, so they will not be idle for the next three or five years. When the sea buckthorn tree bears fruit, the Yu family still has to harvest the fruit, and they have the same thing to do. The two of them must be busy, and maybe they have to hire someone. But if this tree can't survive, he and Wang Si will have nothing to do.

Yu Tang saw that he had figured it out, so he didn't say more. He also asked Wang Si about the four kinds of trees, and Wang Si was able to answer everything in everything, which sounded quite reasonable, and listened to Wang Si's meaning, he would also plant crops and fruit trees. It's just that barley and wheat are planted there, and there are still more rice grows here in Lin'an. Yu Tang thinks that as long as he knows what rice is and what wheat is, if he has the heart, he should learn what to plant.

She simply said to Wang Si: "Have you seen a large paddy field over there?" That's also our Yu family. If you don't have anything to do in the mountains, just look at the fields over there, and you can learn how to grow paddy fields from them. ”

Wang Si respectfully agreed.

Yu Tang went to talk to the fifth uncle again.

Whether it is the ancestral house of the Yu family, or the things on the grange, the fifth uncle and ancestor are just helping to watch, and they don't take care of things, and Wang Sixue doesn't have much to do with him in his opinion, but when other people in the village asked, he helped answer and tell others that this was the meaning of the Yu family, and he didn't agree.

Yu Tang told Wang Si: "My fifth uncle lives alone, come and see more when you are fine, help pick up firewood and water, and if you encounter anything in the village in the future, you can also have someone to help." “

Wang Si was very surprised, he didn't expect Yu Tang to be so friendly, and what he told him was also the foundation of his life, he thanked him repeatedly, and looked forward to settling down in the Yu family.

Yu Tang rushed home that day.

Wang didn't know when he came, and he was busy working in the warehouse with Chen.

Yu Tang was sweating, and when he was freshening, he asked Mrs. Chen: "What are my mother and aunt doing?" Such a hot day. ”

It's talking about the warehouse, but it's actually a small room behind Chen's inner room, which doesn't even have a window, and this kind of weather can make people suffer from heat stroke.

Mrs. Chen grinned and said, "I don't know either." When Mrs. Hui comes out, you can ask Mrs. Okay. ”

Yu Tang felt that she was playing tricks, so she didn't ask more, changed her clothes again, drank two bowls of mung bean soup in a row, and felt that everyone was refreshed, so she went to say hello to her aunt.

The eldest aunt had already come out of the warehouse with Chen, and was standing under the eaves talking, when she saw Yu Tang coming, she took the initiative to greet Yu Tang with a smile and asked about the mountains and forests.

Yu Tang replied to the eldest aunt's words, and curiously glanced at the burden in the eldest aunt's arms.

Chen explained: "Your aunt came to our house to find some fabric. ”

What kind of fabric do you want to borrow from them?

Yu Tang wanted to ask, but the eldest aunt was about to leave.

She didn't want to ask much, and accompanied Chen to send her aunt out, and then she said, "Mom, what kind of fabric does aunt want?" ”

Chen said vaguely: "It's nothing, just a few feet of muslin." ”

At this time, it is cool to wear a tunic made of muslin.

Could it be that the eldest aunt wants to make a middle coat?

Yu Tang didn't ask again, and talked to his mother about his father's going out, leaving this little episode behind.

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan came back five days later.

The two were beaming, which showed that things were going well.

Because of this incident, Master Wu's family and their family got closer. During the Midyear Festival, Mrs. Wu also came to the door and invited Chen and Yu Tang to go to put the river lantern together, and even tried her best to tell Yu Tang about the family. But as Yu Wen expected before, those who are willing to be sons-in-law to other people's families either have such and such shortcomings, or their appearance is not good, and Chen also went to see each other twice, but it didn't work.

Fortunately, Yu Tang was not in a hurry, so Chen's heart was not so impatient.

After eating Zhang Qing's full moon wine, Yu Tang gave Pei Yan a peanut, the osmanthus blossomed, and every household began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yu Tang discussed with the Chen family and sent some moon cakes to the Pei family: "In addition to puff pastry moon cakes, can you make other moon cakes?" ”

In her previous life, she ate moon cakes that were said to come from the capital at Li's house, with a skin like dough and nuts in the bread.

I don't know if her mother will do it?

Chen smiled: "What kind of moon cakes do you eat without puff pastry?" Is there a mooncake that is not puff pastry? ”

Yu Tang couldn't say anything, wondering if he would go to Hangzhou City to buy a few Beijing-style mooncakes and come back for his mother to taste, and then try to make them.

Just thinking about it, Yu Yuan came to deliver moon cakes. It is said that the Xiang family brought it from Fuyang to give the Yu family a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, one of which was given to Yu Wen.

Yu Tang opened it and looked at it, he really wanted to come to something, it was actually a box of Guangzhou moon cakes.

The moon cakes in Guangzhou are similar to those in Beijing, they are doughy, and the difference is in the filling. The mooncakes in Guangzhou like to wrap lotus seeds and egg yolks.

She said to Chen: "Look, isn't there a mooncake that is not puff pastry?" ”

Chen Shi disagreed, and said: "If it's not a moon cake with puff pastry, can it still be called a moon cake?" If you eat moon cakes, you have to eat puff pastry! ”
