Chapter 110: I want to buy an ox cart

"Okay, that's a deal." Ye Dan was overjoyed when he saw her agree.

"Sister Meizi, you pack up, come with me, I am just going to Chenqian Village to collect embroidery today, I see that Sister Gui is tired all morning and has no energy." Ye Qing pointed at Du Gui, who was sitting on the small bench with her eyelids drooping, lying on the table as if she was asleep.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Du Mei looked at Du Gui distressedly.

The two brothers, Ye Dan and Ye Qing, left, and Du Mei lightly packed up the rest of the things and put some unimportant things in the stall.

"Little sister, let's go back." Du Mei bent down and whispered.

"Hmm." Du Gui whispered, turned his head in a different direction, and still fell asleep.

Du Mei squatted down lovingly, gently moved Du Gui to her back, Du Gui arched on her back, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep with a crooked face.

Ye Qing had already driven the carriage to the side of the road at this time, and when he saw Du Mei lying on Du Gui's back, he hurriedly helped her get the guy to the carriage, and then turned back to help her lock the door.

"Shopkeeper Xiaoye, do you still ask for a handlebar on the embroidery village?" Du Mei carried Du Gui and Ye Qing to the carriage together.

"Sister Meizi, you just call me Ye Qing, you always call me the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, and you call me old." Ye Qing winked and smiled mischievously.

"That's not good, you're the shopkeeper." Du Mei was a little uncomfortable.

"What do you say about the shopkeeper or not, I'm just as old as your sisters, I call you sister, can't you still call me Ye Qing?" Ye Qing looked at Du Mei with blank eyes.

"This ......, okay, then call you Ye Qing. Do you want to invite you? Du Mei hesitated, but agreed.

"Of course I'd like to get a handlebar, but it's busy season, so it's hard to hire a short-term job. Sister Meizi has someone she knows, introduce it to me? Ye Qing frowned, he also went to the tooth shop to inquire, but there was no news. Now that Du Mei took the initiative to ask, he naturally thought so.

"I have some acquaintances, but Uncle Zhong. He will have less farm work next season, and if you think he is doing a good job, please invite him. "Du Mei knows Du Zhong, although he is stupid, he is really good at doing things.

"Oh, it would be great if Uncle Zhong was willing to help us. His job is just good, it's just nothing to say. My brother is such a picky person, and he is relieved to do things, from the big to the small silk handkerchief, and he has never made a mistake. Ye Qing's eyes flashed.

"That couldn't be better." Du Mei laughed.

When he arrived at the carriage, Du Gui was still asleep. Ye Qing held Du Gui and let Du Mei get into the carriage first, and then handed Du Gui to her. Du Mei held the little Du Gui in her arms, this girl didn't wake up after such a toss, it seems that this morning really tired her.

"Drive, drive." Ye Qing whipped the car, and light smoke rose from the back of the car.

Du Mei was in the rickety carriage, looking at her sleeping sister, she herself was a little dazed, so she closed her eyes and squinted for a while.

The carriage is much faster than walking, and it usually takes more than an hour to walk, and the carriage arrives half an hour smaller.

"Phew." Ye Qing lightly took the reins and restrained the horse.

"Sister?" Du Gui suddenly woke up at this time, she opened her eyes and saw that she was already outside the second room, she just woke up, a little disbelieving, thinking it was in a dream.

"When you're awake, go back to the house and go to sleep." Du Mei carefully put Du Gui down, her arms were numb.

"To

Home, the carriage is so fast. Du Gui got out of the car and touched the frame, it was the first time she sat on it, but unfortunately she fell asleep and didn't look at the scenery along the way.

"You little sleeping cat, I'll take you next time." Ye Qing helped unload things, looked at her regretful look, and quipped.

Du Gui was a little embarrassed, puffed out his mouth, and went home to get something. Du Tao, who stayed at home, also came to help.

Du Ying herded ducks on the river beach, and Du Tao helped the Xu family with housework at home. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the silk threads are stained with sweat and are easily stained. So Xu wanted to drive out the screen and deliver it as soon as possible, and Du Mei's red cloak girl was almost finished.

"Meizi, you're back, I just have something to explain to you. I have tamped the ridges, the rice seedlings in the field have also set roots, some of the sparsely planted places I have made up one by one, recently mainly looking at the field, don't lack water. Du Shu just passed by with a shovel.

"Okay, Uncle Zhong, I'll make a note of it." Du Mei nodded in response.

"Shopkeeper Xiaoye, you happen to be here, I want to ask by the way, where are you...... There ......" Du Zhong was clumsy and sweated nervously in his palms at a child younger than his son.

"Oh, Sister Meizi has already told me, come on, and come to drive the carriage. You've been around lately, but I'm tired out. Ye Qing saw that Du Zhong's dark face was a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Du Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.

"Can you come tomorrow?" Ye Qing asked, these days, his brother is worried about Luo Meixuan, most of the work in the embroidery village depends on Aunt Shi and him, he receives and delivers goods, it is really hard.

"I can come, I can come." Du Zhong immediately agreed.

"Then I'm leaving." Seeing that the Dumay sisters had already moved their things, he turned his horse's head and waved goodbye to them.

"Meizi, Uncle Zhong doesn't know how to thank you." Du Zhong looked at Du Mei, and he couldn't say anything else except Xie.

"Uncle Zhong, you did a good job yourself, and the owner was happy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a good deal. Du Mei waved his hand and smiled.

After lunch, Du Gui slept, Du Mei squinted on the carriage for a while, she was in better spirits, she carried a basket to the river beach to deliver food, walked to the courtyard gate and turned back, and brought the soybean seeds and small shovels that had not been planted last time.

Da Bai took more than 100 ducks scattered on the river beach, leisurely, it was noon, the sun was shining brightly, Du Ying stood in the shack to hide in the shade, and some smart ducks followed to the duck shed to nest and sleep.

"How's it going for the first time today?" Du Mei handed the basket of food to Du Ying.

"Well, after so many days, the ducks are very excited. I caught fish and shrimp in the water, and went to the shore to peck at the young shoots of calamus and reeds, and I was full of food. Dabai is smart, if a duck is too excited and wants to swim to Sheshan Lake, it will stop it and peck it desperately, so scared that other ducks dare not cross the line. Du Ying said with a smile while eating.

"That's good, is Brother Shu here?" Du Mei told Du Shu to ask him to take care of the ducks, but she didn't see him.

"That's not it." Du Ying stretched out her hand and pointed at it.

Only then did Du Mei see a person digging under the sun under the mountain forest, and it was Du Shu.

"Isn't it impossible to grow anything in this mountain forest?" Du Mei said suspiciously. But if you can grow something, there is no reason for Grandpa to be empty.

"That's what I said about him, but he wouldn't listen."

Du Ying looked helpless.

"I'll go take a look." Du Mei took the soybean seeds and a small shovel and walked towards Du Shu.

"Brother Shu, nothing grows in this mountain forest, what are you doing with all this effort?" Du Mei saw that Du Shu had dug the soil very deep, as deep as two spades.

"You have more than 100 mouths, you have to eat every day, it's summer, you can put it on the river beach to raise, in winter, you still have to lock it up, if there is no duck food, the duck is thin again, how can you lay eggs?" Du Shu helped control the ducks in the morning, and he looked at the quarking ducks, counting the harvest in the field, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"But what can you plant?" Du Mei asked.

"I asked my father, your grandfather didn't plant anything in the mountains and forests at the beginning, I plan to plant something of everything to try, if it happens, I will have a number in my heart next year." Du Shu pestle the shovel handle, looking enthusiastically at the ridge of land he had just dug up.

"It's okay to try, anyway, the ducks are placed on the river beach, and the duck dung is ready-made, so when planting, add more fertilizer." Of course, Du Mei wants to eat a lot of duck food, and no longer worries about eating.

"I'm going to grow some dry crops, soybeans, corn, sorghum." Du Shu wrenched his hand to count the numbers.

"This soil is so compact, how hard you have to dig it." Dumay took the shovel and dug it up with great difficulty.

"If you have cattle, you can relax naturally, but you can only rent them to plough the fields when the farm is busy. At this time, I am idle and idle, and I can't afford to spend money on this. Du Shu snatched the shovel from Du Mei's hand and buried himself in his work.

Du Mei couldn't persuade Du Shu, so forget it, let him make up the trouble. She ordered soybean seeds on the wide ridge of the three-acre field on the river beach, and these three acres of fields do not have boundaries with other people's families, so she wants to plant something, and she will not have disputes with others.

"Mother, let's buy an ox cart." At the dinner table, Du Mei suddenly spoke.

"What do you say?" The family was startled by what she said and asked in unison.

"The stalls in the town are doing well, and the amount of Ruyi soup sold every day has increased, and we only sell two kinds now, and we will definitely increase the variety in the future. If that's the case, it's not a long-term solution for me to carry the burden to town. My little sister is only eight years old, and she can't bear to run for more than an hour.

What's more, there is no male laborer in our family, like ploughing the fields and transporting grain. "Dume has been thinking about it all afternoon.

"Sister, I can do it, I can run." Du Gui hurriedly expressed his position.

"If the little sister is too hard, I will go with you, and I can carry the burden with you." Du Yingmao recommended herself.

"I can go too." Du Tao followed.

"Our ducks are the most important thing, Sakura, you and Du Shu must take care of it." Du Mei instructed.

"Recently, my mother wants to finish embroidering the screen, otherwise I have to put it for a summer, the silk thread is the most squeamish, if it fades, the owner does not accept it, it is not in vain. Third sister, you just have to take care of your family and mother. Du Mei said to Du Tao.

"Meizi, say a thousand things and ten thousand, it's good to buy an ox cart, but where does the money come from?" Xu Shi saw that Du Mei arranged the family in an orderly manner, but he ignored a very important matter.

"Don't worry, mother, I have my own way." Du Mei said with a smile.

"I don't have enough money at home!" Xu frowned.

"I'm going to sign a contract with Shopkeeper Ye, and he will pay me some deposit." Du Mei remembered that Ye Dan had said something like this before. 2k reading web
