Yes, Song Gongzi said that his family is a Huizhou gentry, and the grain sold in Meiji Grain Store is his. Du Mei nodded with a smile.

"Are they going to sell grain to the south?" Chu Lin continued to ask.

"The situation at his home is more complicated, Song Jiu wants to open up a new market, and Shopkeeper He heard that there is a shortage of food in the south and wants to go and see it." Du Mei briefly said Song Jiu's plan.

"Although it is a foregone conclusion that due to locust plagues and droughts, the autumn grain production in the south will be reduced or the harvest will be lost, but the imperial court will wait for the officials below to report the situation on the ground layer by layer before releasing grain for disaster relief as appropriate. At this time, it is certain to go there to sell grain and make money, but the locals are mixed, and the people are fierce, so it is better for him to be a foreigner, so as not to run out of food and money! When Chu Lin heard her say this, he couldn't help but remind him kindly.

"He's going to stay here for a few days, and I'll talk to him about it again, and think of other ways." Du Mei, who was walking inside, lowered his head and kicked a small pebble away from his feet.

"What!" Hearing this, Chu Lin was suddenly a little annoyed, and his voice was raised.

"What's wrong?" Dume was startled by his loudness and looked up at him.

"He's going to stay here for a few more days!" Chu Lin lowered his head, squinted his phoenix eyes, and said dangerously.

"That's right, I promised him last time to cook him a few more delicious meals, look at him so thin......" Du Mei said to herself, seeing that Chu Lin's face became more and more ugly, and the next words were swallowed by her along with saliva.

Chu Lin stiffened his face and didn't say a word, just stared at the stupid girl in front of him.

"Song Jiu is just a business partner, I treat him as a brother." Du Mei saw that there was no one next to him, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and shook it, flatteringly.

"I can't compare to him." After a while, Chu Lin sighed and said faintly, his words simply soured people's big teeth.

Du Mei wanted to tease him, so he said in a long voice: "How can you compare ...... with him" Seeing that his expression really changed, he hurriedly pointed to the position of his heart, and smiled at him with crooked eyebrows: "Are you here with me?" ”

"You girl, just coax me." Chu Lin also smiled, sweetened by her little daughter-like demeanor, seeing that he was about to arrive at the courtyard of the second room, he didn't dare to be abrupt, so he had to endure the throbbing in his heart.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that his gains and losses were too outrageous, that Song Jiu looked like he was just a rich child in the fourteenth or fifth five-year old family, what kind of sour vinegar did he eat with him! Thinking of this, Chu Lin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Seeing this, Du Mei winked at him mischievously, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and returned home together.

Unexpectedly, there was a yard of aunts and sisters-in-law at home embroidering and chatting, they were afraid of Chu Lin's birthmark, and they only glanced at it and avoided their eyes. Du Mei greeted the crowd, went into the house and hid the cigarette paste in the corner of his room, and then took out the medical book to read. In front of everyone's eyes, Chu Lin couldn't stay with Du Mei, so he went to the river beach to drink horses.

Today is the last day of the flowing water banquet, the banquet started early, Chef Lu made all the existing ingredients, and began to clean up his own guys, Du Huaibing was very satisfied with the dishes he made, and rewarded him with a few extra dollars, so happy that he thanked him again and again.

This day's dinner party was not only eaten by the people of Dujiagou, but at the end, the people from other villages were also cheeky to rub it, because some dishes could not be eaten, and they were afraid of spoiling, and in the end, Du Mingtang turned a blind eye to this and didn't care much.

The children looked at their own dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs, and when they saw that the feast was dispersed, they slowly moved home, and after a while on the threshing floor, people left and left, leaving only three days of oil stains and sewage.

The evening was the last show of the troupe, and they sang very hard, but they couldn't afford to toss for three days in a row, the elderly and children couldn't afford to toss, and the number of people watching the play gradually decreased.

Du Mei reluctantly sent Chu Lin away, at this time there were people coming and going on the road, and the two didn't even have a place to whisper, Chu Lin's eyes were full of reluctance, but he had to leave.

"You go back." Chu Lin ruthlessly turned over and waved at Du Mei.

Du Mei nodded, turned around slowly, Chu Lin shook the reins and kicked the horse, and Mo Yun ran hard. Du Mei quietly turned around, only to see the black daze fluttering in the wind, and a black shadow galloped farther and farther away, until it disappeared into the dark night, and only the horse's hooves were found, as if knocking on her heart.

Du Mei lowered her head and returned home, just when she met Du Zhong to pick up the children of the Lin family, the children of the Lin family and the three little ones had played friendship in the past two days, and they were reluctant to separate for a while, and said goodbye hand in hand in the house.

"Uncle Zhong, after harvesting the rice, it's time to plant wheat and rape, Ming'er has to buy two cows for the villa, and add some farm tools, don't be afraid of spending money, the 100 acres of land are barren and intertwined, relying on manpower to turn the land, not to mention the hard work, I'm afraid that I will miss the festival." When the moon was bent in the sky, the autumn breeze was blowing, and Du Mei stood in the courtyard and talked to Du Zhong.

"I know, the house on the Zhuangzi should be built in a day or two, I will bring them back to harvest rice, I see that the weather has been good recently, and I will not make a mistake." Du Zhong looked up at the deep blue night sky, and there were a few stars hanging sparsely on the canopy in the sky.

"Wheat has to be grabbed, rice has to be raised, and these two rice ears are late, and a few days later will be a few days late." Du Mei bowed his head.

"There is one more thing, I want to tell you, I know that your grandma is not welcome, but your grandpa always cares about you, he is so sick that he can't get off the ground now, and I still have to help take care of his five acres of land." Du Zhong now received Du Mei's errand and should have quit his previous job, but his old club was not kind to him, and he was a person who missed his old love, so he had to come to ask Du Mei for accommodation.

"Grandpa's autumn harvest and winter planting on five acres of land, you can take the Lin family to do it together." Du Mei remembered what Zhong Yu said, Grandpa's time is short, and she can be regarded as filial piety to him.

"Huh?" When Du Zhong heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect Du Mei to be so refreshing, and immediately nodded gratefully.

"I just asked Mr. He to perform a broken bone regeneration operation for Master today, and his family is revolving around him at this moment, and he has no mind to do anything else. You have to help him harvest two acres of land. There is also a second stunned family, it is rare to have a little harvest in the field, his wife can't do it, and he can't do it, so you can help too. Du Mei thought for a moment.

She used her own helpers to do farm work for her grandfather's family, and the eldest aunt and the third aunt didn't think that she had gained any additional benefits, and then made any trouble, she simply did it to the end, help a few more households, and see how they could chew the root of their tongues.

"Okay." Du Zhong nodded, he knew Du Mei's difficulties.

Du Zhong thought for a while, and then said: "I sprinkled rapeseed seedlings in the open field a few days ago, and now they have grown a finger high, and the five acres in the village are still planted as in previous years. What have you thought about planting in the 100 acres of land on the farm? ”

Although Du Mei handed over all the affairs of the villa to him, she was the master after all, and Du Zhong was not good at making decisions on his own, so he still had to listen to her arrangements.

"Let's open it in Sanqi, 30 acres of rape, 70 acres of wheat, I see that the price of grain will not be low in the spring next year, you can eat less oil, and you can't lack rice and noodles." Du Mei muttered.

This unprecedentedly huge locust plague has opened a gap in the spring and autumn grains, which were originally very fragile, and many people have been displaced and uprooted from their homes in order to have enough to eat. It is not easy to return to the beginning, if there is no two years of bumper production, the life of the common people will not be able to turn over.

"Well, okay, I made a note of it." Du Zhong nodded.

The two were talking, and the three little ones sent the Lin family children out, and Du Mei went into the house to take out some of the pastries given by his friends and take them back to eat.

Dujiagou carnival for three days in a row, now into the night, finally returned to the quiet of the past, the chicken does not cry and the dog does not bark, only the smell of meat wafts, lingering.

In the early morning of the next day, the rooster crowed, and the hard-working villagers began to get up early to sharpen their knives, and the full meal of white rice and meat gave the men of Dujiagou a lot of strength, just waiting for the sun to rise, and they were going to open the sickle and harvest rice!

Du Mei's family is still living a normal life, because Song Jiu is here, there are more tricks for breakfast, they sit in the courtyard and drink porridge, in addition to white flour steamed buns and vegetarian buns, there are several kinds of side dishes.

"Plums." The scrap manuscript and Du Huaibing walked in together.

"Did the master and Uncle Waste Manuscript have breakfast?" Du Mei hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

"The scrap manuscript came to me early in the morning to reconcile, and I just brought him to you to listen to it together." Du Huaibing said helplessly.

"I'm thinking about handing over this matter clearly, and I'll have to be busy repairing the old mansion later." The scrapped manuscript was a little embarrassed by Du Huaibing.

"Don't worry about this, it's not too late to talk about breakfast." Du Mei went into the house and moved two stools.

Du Ying turned around and brought sweet potato porridge to the two, and they were not polite, so they took it and ate it with the Du family.

The sun slowly rose, Du Ying took away the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them talked at the table.

"The flowing water banquet lasted for three days, and bought three pork fans from the butcher, 150 catties of beef and mutton in the town, 150 catties of ......, Lao Ji Tou donated three plates of tofu, 20 catties of dried tofu, and Fang's donated 20 eggs and two baskets of vegetables...... There are still five taels or three coins of silver left, and there is still half a stone of japonica rice, and there are some scattered oil and salt seasonings. "When he opened the account book, he listed everything from the wages of the opera troupe to a green onion.

"Well, that's right." Du Huaibing squinted slightly and smoked dry cigarettes, although he didn't have such a detailed account in his heart, most of them still knew, so he nodded while listening to the scrap manuscript report.

"The money and japonica rice are all out of you, so naturally I should pay you back." A few pieces of broken silver and a handful of copper coins were poured out of the purse.

"If you want me to say, the Yixue will be started after the autumn, first use the money to buy some books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the children, and don't pay me back the japonica rice, don't you have to take care of lunch in the Yixue." Du Mei did not take the money, but spoke.

"This ......" The scrap manuscript couldn't get an idea, and turned his head to look at Du Huaibing.

"Just do what Meizi says, you just take notes in the small notebook and see who dares to say three or four!" Du Huaibing smoked a pot of cigarettes and knocked on the soles of his shoes.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei heard that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in this.

In the past few days, she has been busy receiving her friends, and she is thinking about her master's back injury, is it possible that in a few days, something big happened in the village that she didn't know?
