Chapter 124: Buyer's Proposal (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Ten days later, the potatoes were ripe, Xu Qingyan led Li Yan and them to the east of the village to harvest potatoes, and Xu Guanghua and they went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, where the 500 acres of land had to be cleaned up before the spring sowing next year.
Li Erniu was too young to bring it out, so she stayed at home with the Cao family, thinking that her grandmother would have to cook for so many of them, Xu Qingyan felt that their family should also buy two rooms.
Although Li Yan and they are also subordinates, they are all children, and they should have a better future and a broader sky.
After Xu Qingyan showed them how to dig potatoes, she divided them into groups, and the two of them worked together.
Despite their young age, they are full of energy, but in fact, digging potatoes does not require much effort, but it is a test of patience.
Every time Xu Qingyan digs for a while, she will look up and observe, and see that they are working hard, and there is no lazy and slippery phenomenon, and she is satisfied.
If it is a good life for ten days, they will develop a temperament of leisure and hard work, and she doesn't know whether to blame herself for her education failure or blame herself for being blind.
In fact, she was too worried about this matter, not to mention that Li Yan and they signed a deed of sale, and now they are subordinates, let's just say that their previous life is the difference between heaven and hell compared to now, Li Yan and they all cherish this hard-won stability.
And they still have the opportunity to read and write, and they will have the opportunity to get ahead in the future, so they work one by one, they spare no effort, and they will never be lazy and slippery, and the two young masters are now their literacy gentlemen.
Xu Qingyan felt that it was too ostentatious to invite someone to come back to teach or send them to a private school now. Let Xu Qingwen and Xu Qingjun teach for a while to see, if they find that they have a talent for reading, it is not too late to send them to a private school.
It is a win-win situation for Ah Wen and Ah Jun to teach them to read, and at the same time teaching Li Yan and them, the brothers can also learn from the past.
The two brothers were unprecedentedly enthusiastic about being masters, and they were extremely serious about teaching and learning, and their serious faces were really a bit of master's style.
Two acres of potatoes, with the joint efforts of thirteen of them, took three days to dig up, because several children have little strength, the task of transporting potatoes Xu Qingyan was completed.
Li Yan and the others saw Xu Qingyan easily moving baskets of potatoes to the ox cart, and their eyes showed adoration, and the stars were starry.
The divine power that the fairy bird gave to the young lady is really powerful!
After harvesting the potatoes, Xu Qingyan and the others harvested the two acres of peanuts next to them.
After the peanuts were harvested, Xu Qingyan decided that except for some leftover seeds, the others were squeezed into peanut oil.
New peanuts can also be eaten raw, Xu Qingyan divided some for the family to make snacks, and the rest were dried and stored.
After harvesting the potatoes, Xu Qingyan devoted herself to her talisman making business again, and the emperor's task still has 3,000 catties to complete.
In the evening, Xu Guanghua and the others came back, and Xu Qingyan held a family meeting about the purchase of people, but Xu Guanghua and they didn't react for a long time.
In their view, it is the business of the landlord's family, and although the conditions of the family are much better now, their small-scale peasant consciousness has not changed.
"Dad, our family is not as good as before, the thousand acres of fertile land given to me by the emperor, how can you and your uncle take care of it? And grandma is also old, you go out to work, she is quite tired of cooking at home alone, buy the next person, grandma can also enjoy the blessings, when you are bored, someone still has someone to talk to, isn't it good?"
"Ouch, Yan girl can still think about grandma, but grandma didn't hurt you in vain." Cao's face was wrinkled with a smile.
"Grandma is good to me, I know, Ah Yan buys a girl for grandma, and let grandma be an old lady too."
"Hahaha,,,, you girl, that grandma is waiting to enjoy the blessings of her granddaughter."
Xu Xiulan also agreed: "Yes, when we move out in the next year, there will be fewer people in the family, so many jobs, we really have to buy some people." ”
Xu Xiulan's family has also saved some money now, although it is not much, but it is still possible to build two thatched houses and buy two acres of land.
Although the Xu family tried their best to keep them, Hu Luo felt that the golden nest and the silver nest were not as good as his own kennel, no matter how good the Xu family was, no matter how good the Xu family was to them, they still had their own home.
As the head of the family, he had to buy a family business to pass on to his children and grandchildren, even if it was a small inheritance.
"By the way, since you want to buy a worker, it's better to match Ayan with two girls, I think the young ladies of the rich families in the city are followed by yahuan, and our Ayan is now the county lord, so naturally we have to match two."
"Mother, no need, I'm not used to using Yahuan." Xu Qingyan didn't want to use Yahuan, so there was no private space at all. "Nope." Hu objected, "You are not young anymore, in two years, you will be a big girl." ”
Hu Shi sighed and said: "My mother knows that you are capable, and I don't want to detain you, but now you are also the county lord, and you will have to participate in some parties between young ladies in the future. ”
Xu Qingyan sighed, she would always forget the ancient male and female defenses, and she had to compromise when she thought of this: "Okay, I'll listen to my mother." ”
Hu Shi smiled at this time, "This is my mother's good daughter, if you can pick up the female red, my mother will be even happier." ”
Xu Qingyan shook her head again and again and said: "Mother, how can I have time to learn that, I have to be busy with medicine, and I haven't completed the task sent by the emperor yet." ”
Hu Shi touched her head and said: "After completing the emperor's task, you can rest and rest, don't be too anxious about the pharmaceutical business, you are getting bigger and bigger, and there are not a few years left to be able to relax in your mother's house, you have time to play with the little sisters and make a few more friends." There are other things like your father, you just have a good time for a few years, and when you have time, you can learn to be a girl and do housework, and you don't have to be gossiped about when you get married in the future. ”
For Xu Qingyan, the Hu family is a little distressed, this daughter has been busy making money for the family since she was enlightened by the gods, and she rarely has time to play, and even her friends seem to be only the girl of the Li family.
She shouldn't lack the happy innocence that little girls should have, how to make money, that's what they should think about as parents.
Xu Qingyan listened to Hu's words and was very moved, this person's mother, who is usually very arrogant, will also feel sorry for her dedication.
Thinking back to what Hu Shi said, Xu Qingyan felt that it made sense, and her eagerness to cultivate might not be a good thing.
Time flies by in a flash, and it doesn't happen again.
She should indeed enjoy her current life, anyway, with her current strength, there should be few people in this world who can hurt her, and the Xu family is not in any crisis now, even if there is an emergency, there is a life-saving charm of Bird Ling.
However, it does not mean that you will not cultivate at all, but that you will not focus on cultivation, and the combination of work and rest is the right way.
Speaking of the spirit peacock, Xu Qingyan missed it a little, as early as half a month ago, it took the little peacock away, and I didn't know if they were in Huixian Mountain.
Although the bird is very arrogant and narcissistic, but after getting along for so long, there are feelings, but the stupid bird actually ran away secretly at night and didn't even say hello.
The next day, after the Xu family woke up, they found that the fairy bird was gone, and they were a little lost, they had long been used to it, and when they opened the door in the morning, they could see the spirit peacock combing the little peacock on the roof.
