Chapter 311: Growing Watermelons
"Don't worry! Brother Ji, I will take good care of myself, but you have to promise me that when you see Qingyang again, Brother Ji, you don't take it so seriously. ”
Qian Xiaoyu laughed and glanced at the post station behind her, at this time, she couldn't go to the post station to take care of her eldest brother, she was really angry, she lost such a good opportunity.
Glancing at Ji Xingchen, Qian Xiaoyu was a little displeased, if it weren't for Ji Xingchen's usefulness to the villa, Qian Xiaoyu would have been dealing with such a man with impatience a long time ago.
However, thinking that Princess Qingyang liked Ji Xingchen so much, but she didn't get Ji Xingchen, but she had a deep love for herself, and she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart.
On the other side, Chi Yue handed over the method of planting watermelons to everyone, but it was only half a day, and all the watermelon planting had already been planted.
Because there are many people, there is a lot of strength, and soon, the land is planted.
It's just that plants that don't need water anymore don't need water at all, and these seeds also need water when they are planted.
Chi Yue looked at everyone's worried eyes and suddenly smiled and spoke.
"Actually, this is very simple, the land here is very close to our moat, we just need to dig a ditch and divert the water from the moat here."
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly turned on their faces, such a simple way, why didn't they think of it before!
It sounds simple, but it's not that simple, otherwise others would have used it a long time ago, and the water in the moat is seawater, and the number of times it can be used is limited, otherwise the moat will dry up sooner or later.
However, because the watermelons this time are just some seeds, there is not much land, and there is not much river water needed, so this method can be used, and it is relatively close to the moat.
If it's far, it's a bit unrealistic, just like in modern times, you can't just dig a ditch from the south to the north because there is a shortage of water in the north and there is a lot of water in the south!
Obviously, this is only a contingency.
In addition, most of the water from the moat will definitely seep into the ground, so this road needs to be connected with stone slabs underneath, so that the water is saved a lot.
Chi Yue just thought of a way, and it was Lord Li who carried everything out.
Speaking of which, Chi Yue came to the south to do business in the south, but as a result, he followed Gu Han here to do good deeds, Chi Yue was a little helpless, and at the same time he was planning that he shouldn't stay here forever.
It's been a few days since Chi Yue left home, and after the initial anger subsided, Chi Yue couldn't help but start worrying about whether her mother and younger siblings were doing well.
The Zhou family, who was worried about Chi Yue, only after Chi Yue left, did he see clearly what kind of people were around him.
The first Qiao family forced the Zhou family to hand over the sugar mill, otherwise, he would be unkind to the Zhou family.
Zhou explained.
"The sugar mill is not ours, when Chu Yue'er left, the sugar mill had already been sold, and this was originally His Royal Highness King Rong's thing, how can I bring it to you."
Zhou's temperament is soft, and now he is forced by Qiao's to have no choice, so he said this, and at the same time, his eyes were also red, if Chi Yue was here before, how would Qiao's dare to do this.
Chi Hao looked at the arrogant Qiao family, thinking that he was a man in this family and should take his own responsibility, seeing that Qiao had been bullying his mother, he was in front of Zhou at the moment.
"Auntie, if you have the ability, go to the sugar mill by yourself and ask the sugar mill back, if you really want to come back, we will definitely not say a word and give you the sugar mill."
"Now that the sugar mill is no longer in our hands, it is useless for you to embarrass us."
After speaking, Chi Hao glanced at Chi Yuan behind Qiao's family, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Cousin, did you just watch my aunt bully my mother and didn't say a word? When you left home and had nowhere to go, but my mother took you in, didn't you appreciate my mother at all? ”
Chi Yuan's old face was flushed by Chi Hao's words, and he immediately pulled Qiao's arm and spoke lightly.
"Mother, the sugar shop is not an aunt, you can't force your aunt here, let's go back!"
Qiao's was not originally for the sugar mill's business, the last time I went to the sugar mill and suffered a loss, Qiao's didn't go to the sugar mill, this time, Qiao's heard what Xiu'er said, Chi Yue left, he would definitely leave silver for Zhou's, I think it must be a lot, after all, when Chi Yue was there, the sugar mill was very profitable.
As soon as Qiao Shi heard this, he took it to heart, and when his son came back, he came to look for trouble.
Now when he heard Chi Yuan's words, he suddenly glanced at Chi Yuan angrily.
"You, you, you're just too honest, you came out of the house, she's your aunt, you live here, isn't that what it should be? Is your aunt going to watch you starve to death on the streets? ”
As he spoke, he glared at Ji Hao fiercely.
"Chi Hao, this is an adult to speak, there is no part for you to speak, you hurry up and walk away for me, otherwise, I, the eldest mother, will have to replace you and teach you a good lesson."
"You junior, you dare to talk to me like this, do you know that I am your aunt."
When Zhou heard that his son was going to be beaten, he said again.
"His aunt, you can't be like this, Hao'er's hands are because of you, they have become what they are now, and until now, his hands can't write! Maybe it's ruined for the rest of your life. ”
Qiao Shi opened his mouth disappreciatively.
"Okay, what do you do so much, what does a child write, doesn't it cost money? If you have this money, it is better to give it to me, and it is useless for you to keep it yourself. ”
"When Chi Yue left, how much silver did you leave behind?"
"You also know the situation of our family, now there is no silver to buy rice, if you want to borrow some from the house, just borrow a few hundred taels!"
A few hundred taels?
Why don't you rob them, they are just ordinary peasants, where to find so much silver.
Chi Hao thought that his sister had just left a dozen taels of silver for herself, but as a result, the eldest lady opened her mouth for hundreds of years, which was really shameless.
The second sister is right, these people shouldn't be helped, look at how long the second sister has been gone, these people have begun to show their true colors, and they were kind and pleasant before, in fact, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to take advantage? Isn't it just for their family's money?
Qiao's family, originally afraid that Chi Yue would come back one day, so he didn't dare to come to Zhou's trouble, although Zhou's is a soft persimmon, but Chi Yue is not easy to deal with, if Chi Yue knows, people who don't make trouble will turn their backs.
So Qiao's has been holding back at home and doesn't dare to come out, but it's been more than a month now, and Chi Yue has been away for more than a month, and he hasn't come back yet, and it seems that he won't come back in the future.
Speaking of which, this Zhou family is really a fool, such a daughter who can make money, she can't provide for it well, and she dares to treat it like a grass, but now that the God of Wealth grandfather is gone, they don't have any money anymore, and now their family can't even afford meat.
In the past, their family didn't have any money to buy meat, but since Chi Yue had silver, their family's meat was also eaten every once in a while, and now there is no silver, and Chi Yue is no longer there, and they are really a little unaccustomed to eating those coarse tea and light rice.
No, I heard Xiu'er say that Chi Yue left, but in the end, she was her mother, and she was willing to let the Zhou family starve to death, so she must have left the silver, plus recently, the food in Zhou's house seems to be pretty good, everyone is full, and you can see that there must be something greasy.
Qiao's saw that Chi Yue couldn't come back, so he moved his mind and came to Qiao's to ask for silver.
But where does Qiao's have silver, she is really running out of money now, her mother's family asks her to go over every time, and whenever Qiao's goes, she will buy some good things, thinking in her heart, even if she eats less, she must also pay more filial piety to her mother.
Her mother is old, and it is not easy, looking at the body is still a little uncomfortable, coming and going, there is no silver on her body, she sold all her jewelry, and she went to her mother's house a few times, and the silver was spent.
The last few times she went, she went to her mother's house, she didn't have any silver on her, and the things she bought were not as good as before, and her mother was obviously a little dissatisfied, and this time she said something very unpleasant.
"Look at you, every time you come, your mother is very attentive to you, you look at what you brought me, it's not as good as the good dishes I made for you, you have so much silver, you are reluctant to buy things for your mother, right?"
"I really raised you for nothing, why did I give birth to such a white-eyed wolf daughter as you, isn't Chi Yue quite able to make money? If you don't have any money, ask your daughter for it. ”
Zhou's bitterness can't be said, now Chi Yue doesn't know where to go, where can she see people, she herself is reluctant to eat and wear, and the money she saves is filial to her mother, but her mother still says such things, which is really sad.
Zhou thought about Zhou Liu's words, and looked at Qiao again, and always felt that since Chi Yue left, these people have changed, they used to be kind and good-mannered, but now, except for all kinds of dislike for her, there is no good face.
His own mother disliked the few things he bought, and Qiao's forced himself to hand over the sugar mill, if he couldn't hand over the sugar mill, he borrowed money from himself, where would he still have the silver to lend Qiao's!
"Sister-in-law, after Yue'er left, I had no money on me, and after Yue'er left, she didn't leave me any silver at all, you borrow money from me now, I really don't have it."
Zhou said, his eyes turned red, everything was good when Chi Yue was there, but now that Chi Yue is gone, everything is not going well.
Where would Qiao Shi believe Zhou's words, he directly stepped forward and pushed Zhou away, and went to Zhou's room to start rummaging.
Zhou's eyes widened, looking at Qiao's like a bandit, rushing into his room, and then rummaging through the cabinets to find it.
Zhou is no matter how good his temper is, he was also angry at this time, and stepped forward, wanting to stop Qiao's movements.
