Chapter 185: Lotus Root
It's getting hot day by day, and the sun is warm on my body.
The land behind the house was completely reclaimed, and Aunt Ying and Lin Zifu planted leeks.
Aunt Liao didn't understand why Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying had so many leeks and didn't grow other vegetables, so when she planted vegetables, she planted a variety of each dish, and pondered sending them to Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying when they could eat them.
Many people in the village took advantage of the warmer weather to start plowing the fields, and He Dahua's cattle were also busy, and many people in the village came to rent.
Lin Zifu became the most idle person because she rented all the land to Li Xiuhua and Zhou Qiangui.
However, she and Aunt Ying couldn't be idle, so they took out the dustpan that had dried the herbs last year to bask in the sun and set up a full yard.
There was also news from the night doctor, Shopkeeper Zhang had collected all the things Lin Zifu wanted, because the lotus seeds germinated too slowly, and the best was the lotus root, so he found a few carts of lotus roots, saying that they would be delivered to the village in two days.
Lin Zifu was eager to try, thinking that if the lotus root was planted, it would be the silver of white flowers in the future, and everyone would have a better and better life in the future, and she would be happy to make a lot of money.
Li Xiuhua saw that no one in the village had changed their minds, so she was still willing to follow Lin Zifu to plant lotus roots.
Last year, she insisted on growing food, but gradually changed her mind.
After all, the life of the people in the village is getting better day by day, and the days of her and Zhou Qiangui are getting more and more difficult, during the Chinese New Year this year, many people in the village took the children back for the New Year, originally she also planned to take the children back, but after thinking about it, the family has not been in the master's house for the New Year, and finally rested, and watching other people's family reunion, she felt very sour and very uncomfortable.
Zhou Qiangui sat in the courtyard, his legs were almost healed, but he was a little unnatural when he walked.
At this moment, he was also a little worried.
What Li Xiuhua said last night was not unreasonable, and it was no good to go against Lin Zifu.
Especially the people in the village are now looking towards Lin Zifu, and few people are willing to take care of their husband and wife.
And although the field they rented from Lin Zifu was very fertile, because it was in the middle position, if the people around them planted lotus roots, it would definitely have an impact on their family.
Moreover, the people in the village are so enthusiastic about planting lotus roots, presumably they are really making money, after all, the people in the village are not stupid, if they don't make money, who wants to use the land they rely on for survival to make a joke.
Now he is also very sad.
Li Xiuhua walked back and forth in the yard, and many people in the village had already begun to go to the ground, seeing that the lotus root seeds were about to be sent to the village, if they didn't tell Lin Zifu again, it would be too late, and it would be too late to regret it.
At the moment, she was very anxious.
"What do you say, what do you think we should do, do we plant together, or just look at everyone?"
She didn't want to miss such an opportunity, and if she missed it, it would be too late to regret it.
Zhou Qiangui was also a little irritable, this is indeed an opportunity, not only their village has followed the planting, but even the next village has people following the planting, and there seem to be many people who follow Lin Zifu to make money.
And the bad thing is that their village is not planted by their family, and there were two or three families who were shaken before, but this year they all began to be enthusiastic and began to plough the land.
In the end, he relented.
A little embarrassed to say: "Otherwise, you go to Lin Zifu's house and tell me about the lotus root we are going to plant, although our two families are very stiff, but I believe she doesn't account too much about this matter." ”
He was embarrassed to come to the door, and he always felt embarrassed to find Lin Zifu now.
Li Xiuhua was dissatisfied, why did it take her turn to do anything bad, Zhou Qiangui was embarrassed to come to Lin Zifu, and she was embarrassed to come to the door.
moved a low stool and sat in front of Zhou Qiangui and said: "Otherwise, the two of us will go together, and I will be embarrassed if you ask me to go alone, if a man does not come forward for this kind of thing, how can I come forward as a woman." ”
It's always uncertain to go alone, and it's slightly better for two people to go.
But this is not what Zhou Qiangui wants, Zhou Qiangui glanced at Li Xiuhua, and scolded angrily: "You can't do such a small thing, what can you do, hurry up and say, if you don't say it, be careful I will beat you." ”
He has been in a bad temper recently, and he will be even more angry when he encounters Li Xiuhua's disobedience.
Li Xiuhua was frightened by Zhou Qiangui, stood up, and muttered: "In addition to bullying me at home, what else do you have to do, why did I marry such a thing as you." ”
shouted on his lips, but he still went out.
Lin Zifu seems to have been prepared for Li Xiuhua to come to find her, in fact, when Li Xiuhua said that she would not follow the planting, she knew that it was such a result, the people in the village were following the planting, if Li Xiuhua did not follow along, it would be too much to say, and besides, there was no harm in planting lotus root with her.
Everyone in the village knows how to measure, and she believes that Li Xiuhua should also understand.
Li Xiuhua looked at Lin Zifu with some embarrassment, although Aunt Ying didn't like Li Xiuhua, but the visitor was a guest, so she moved a stool and asked Li Xiuhua to sit down.
As soon as Li Xiuhua sat down, she explained her intentions, and she was quite embarrassed to speak: "It's really a little difficult to talk to you today, and it seems a little abrupt to come to you at this juncture, but seeing that everyone is planting lotus roots, my heart is also itching, I just want to ask, it's too late to plant lotus roots with you." ”
She thought that those acres of land belonged to Lin Zifu, if she really lost money, she would not give Lin Zifu so much rent, anyway, it was not her who suffered.
Lin Zifu nodded a little dissatisfied and said: "Although it's still too late, but I don't know if there are any left, I can't guarantee that your family will be able to plant it now, after all, you don't know how much is left until the person who has planted it, if you can find the door yourself, you can buy lotus root seeds and plant them, anyway, everyone's lotus root seeds are also paid for by themselves, I just help to contact, as soon as the carriage arrives in the village, collect money door to door, who needs how many catties are counted." ”
She must make it clear to Li Xiuhua first, first, I don't know if there is any lotus root left, there is Li Xiuhua's family to plant, second, if Li Xiuhua can find lotus root seeds, it is okay, third, if you want to plant, you have to pay, pay with one hand and deliver it with the other.
But these words are another thing to listen to Li Xiuhua's ears.
At least Li Xiuhua thinks there is hope for this.
So I left Lin Zifu's house with satisfaction and went to give Zhou Qiangui good news.
Aunt Ying pouted, she didn't like Li Xiuhua very much, and she didn't understand why Li Xiuhua was so thick-skinned.
"I said what you do with her, I persuaded her to plant unwillingly, but when she came to the door at this juncture, she knew that Lin Zifu had more * in advance, if she didn't know, Li Xiuhua came to the door like this, and when there was no lotus root seed, maybe Li Xiuhua would spread rumors in the village."
The so-called people are terrifying, and those who know will say that it has nothing to do with Lin Zifu, but if they don't know, they may not know how to talk behind their backs.
She didn't want these inconsequential things to affect Lin Zifu, and she didn't want Li Xiuhua to spread ugly gossip.
I don't understand Lin Zifu helping Li Xiuhua this time.
Lin Zifu smiled and said: "I have figured out a lot of things when I go to the county seat this time, Li Xiuhua's family has something to do with Mrs. Zhou, we give a little benefit, and Mrs. Zhou will have a lot less trouble, I didn't say that Zhou Mingqi and Miss Qin were engaged before, it is estimated that Mrs. Zhou has been busy with this matter recently, we are not suitable for us to fight with the Zhou family now, our strength is too weak, and it is good to delay a little time." ”
She thought that she had to get through this time and wait until everyone's lotus root seeds were planted in the ground.
Aunt Ying felt sorry for Lin Zifu, watching Lin Zifu busy every day, and feeling guilty about worrying about everything: "It's all my fault, if I told you that Qi Mingzhou was Zhou Mingqi at that time, maybe you would have dealt with this matter." ”
I didn't think so much about concealing it at the beginning, and my heart at that time seemed to be a little towards Zhou Mingqi.
But after the incident, I feel more and more guilty, and if I do something wrong, I do something wrong, and I can't refute this matter no matter how I refute it.
If he had told Qi Mingzhou that it was Zhou Mingqi at that time, and had told Lin Zifu the truth, maybe the two young people had already discussed it.
And during this period of time, she observed and obviously felt that Lin Zifu and Doctor Ye seemed to be a better match, and the two also had a tacit understanding, and there was always a sense of distance between her and Zhou Mingqi.
That's what she can understand.
Lin Zifu has always been separated from Zhou Mingqi, although the two were married in the church, but it is not a worship in the real sense, Lin Zifu married the dead Zhou Mingqi, not the living Zhou Mingqi.
Lin Zifu is willing to publicly say that she is widowed for Zhou Mingqi, not because she has any deep feelings for Zhou Mingqi, but because she doesn't want to get into trouble and doesn't want too many enthusiastic people in the village to introduce her husband's family to her.
If it weren't for meeting Doctor Ye and meeting Lin Zifu's favorite person, maybe Lin Zifu would really be able to be a widow for Zhou Mingqi for a lifetime.
It's just that she knows the truth of the matter, and she feels more and more cruel about the truth.
Lin Zifu did not complain about Aunt Ying, but comforted: "That incident has been so long, I also said that the past will let it pass, Zhou Mingqi's side, I hope he can remember my good, at least protect me well, but I also saved his life." ”
She doesn't owe Zhou Mingqi anything, it can be said that she has also repaid her favors.
Ying Gu sighed with some disappointment: "You really don't like Zhou Mingqi? ”
Lin Zifu replied very firmly: "I don't like it, I really don't like it, you have seen it after being with him for so long before, I don't have any other feelings about him, if there is anything, it will not be like now." ”
She doesn't like people with Zhou Mingqi's character, and she doesn't like the Zhou family.
It is said that marrying a woman is a woman's second reincarnation, and she is asked to say whether she can meet a good mother-in-law depends on whether the second reincarnation is successful.
