Chapter 147: The Orange Grove Prototype

After the meal, Lin Kangping pulled Ziqing to eat in the back mountain, Ziqing didn't expect him to leave after only two days of returning, and his heart was depressed, "Qing'er, I really have to go back, I promise you that I will come back early to accompany you for the New Year." Don't worry, there will be one year at most, and I will be free, and the young master's family affairs have been decided, and it is estimated that the marriage will be completed next autumn at the latest. I'll come back to marry you after the handover, don't you know, outside, how much I miss you, and I wonder if my Qing'er has eaten well? Do you have a cold or cough? Have you ever been bullied again? Did you miss me? ”

"Don't worry, everything is fine at home, I don't go out easily, and I won't go out alone. But you're out there, you have to take care of yourself, are you sure you'll really be free next year? ”

"Don't worry, five years have passed, I have made the jade business such a big industry, the young master will not always be in the hands of outsiders, the affairs of the Wen family are too complicated, the eldest master of the Wen family is going to be transferred out of Kyoto and take up the post of governor of Liangguang, the old man Wen has been silent for so many years, it seems that he does not plan to come out to be an official, and he wants to cultivate the power of the young master. I can't tell you clearly for a while, in short, you believe me, the young master is a person who counts. ”

Ziqing has no interest in the affairs of the Wen family, and all she cares about is whether Lin Kangping can successfully break away from the Wen family.

Lin Kangping saw that Ziqing didn't speak, thought about it and said: "Don't do the affairs of Orange Garden alone, if you can't do it, just wait for me to come back, don't worry." By the way, I have good news for you, I have bought the reed lake, and the gardener will come to help me clean it up next spring. ”

"Really? But didn't he see the terrain? Why did you suddenly decide to buy it? ”

"I made it clear to him that the place is very cheap, one or two silver per acre, but it is more troublesome to rectify. You are afraid that I will repent. Ma Yo took me through the formalities. Speaking of which, you had an accident that time, thanks to his son, but he also made some efforts later, and I asked my father to accompany me to his house in the first month, so I was really happy to buy land this time. ”

The two gossiped a little. Lin Kangping kept holding Ziqing's hand. This feels like a bit of a man and woman dating in love, thinking of this, Ziqing looked up at the person next to him, Lin Kangping is a northerner. So he is tall, almost 1.8 meters tall, and his facial features are cold. The eyebrows are narrow and long, and in modern parlance, very manly. Ziqing is getting more and more fond of it.

"Have you seen enough? It's time for us to go back. ”

"Kangping, thank you. It's good for me to meet you. ”

"Fool, I should have said this, as soon as I saw you, I fell in love with this clever little girl. Later, I met you on the street, and you didn't know it. I was so pleasantly surprised that I recognized you at a glance. Later, I accompanied the young master to find you, I am the young master's long-term companion, but in your eyes, there is no difference between me and the young master, this is the first time I have experienced a kind of respect for being treated equally, gradually, I also longed to see you, and later, because of you, I got out of the country, and my Qing'er also grew up. Lin Kangping said slowly, the experience of these years is replayed scene by scene, the little girl who combed her hair and wore cotton clothes has now grown into a bright and moving girl in front of her, and he actually held the girl's hand, at this moment, Lin Kangping had to thank fate for his mercy.

"I'm tired, can you carry me out?" Ziqing stood still, pulling Lin Kangping's shirt with one hand, and the other hand was still in the other party's hand.

"I can't ask for it." After Lin Kangping finished speaking, he squatted in front of Ziqing, Ziqing lay on his broad back, listening to his question, at this moment, he felt extremely warm and relieved.

On the afternoon of the third day, Ziqing grabbed Zishou and Zixi to dig saplings, picked fifty of the largest, picked some greens from the vegetable field, took a string of money, and the three of them planted trees.

"Then bring your sister-in-law. Otherwise, she is boring at home alone, and no one knows anyone. Ziqing said.

"I'm not going, stay at home to help my mother cook, you go early and come back early." Liu said.

Four people carried the saplings to the gate of the courtyard, shouted the door for a long time, Ziqing thought that there should be a doorbell here, and after entering, he saw that Wang Tieshan was digging a pit, and the vegetable field had been renovated two furrows, Ziqing put down the greens, and ordered everyone to plant trees, Zifu and Zixi cultivated soil, Ziqing supported the saplings, Zishou and Wang Tieshan watered, fifty saplings were planted, and there were still a few tree pits left.

It seems that Lin Kangping is quite accurate in seeing people, and this couple is really willing to work. Ziqing handed Li a string of money and said, "This is from the fifty tree caves today, and I will come back in the next two or three days." Don't work too hard, this can't be done in a day or two, and besides, I don't have so many saplings for a while, are you still used to life these days? ”

"Habit, this is very good, the children can also eat well, and there are such good clothes to wear, you can rest assured, we must work hard, never steal and play tricks, if I can meet you earlier, my third child will not be gone." As he spoke, Li began to wipe away his tears.

Only then did Ziqing know that she still had a child who couldn't survive the road, Ziqing sighed and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, it will be better in the future." You're going to have kids, too. ”

A few days later, Zishou and they left, Zifu read at home every morning, and accompanied Ziqing to the orange orchard in the afternoon, the two carried twenty saplings over every day, and sometimes took Liu over, watching the rows of saplings in front of him stand up, Ziqing's heart was very accomplished. Maybe in another three or four years, there should be green trees, flocks of chickens and sheep, and hares, Ziqing seems to have seen herself counting the silver with a smile.

"Qing'er, what do you want? It's still beautiful, beware of the drooling coming out. Zifu saw that Ziqing was wandering again, and couldn't help but knock her.

"Big brother, it's so annoying, I'm dreaming that my garden has a good harvest, I'll count the silver, you knock it, the silver is gone, you pay me."

"Zhenzhenniang is right, you have been a money fan since you were a child, and you know that silver is good, so you even daydream about counting silver. Our family is really thanks to your money-obsessed nature, otherwise, what might be going on today. Zifu smiled at first, but sighed later.

Liu doesn't know the bottom, he can only smile with his mouth, living in the Zeng family these days, I thought there would be a lot of inconvenience, not adaptable, before getting married, my mother also taught a lot, how to get along with my mother-in-law, the Zeng family has many children, and there are many uncles and sisters-in-law, trivial things must be indispensable. Who knows that only when married is that it is not the same thing at all, not to mention the mother-in-law, even the rules are exempted, although several uncles have not been together for a long time, but one by one they all know books and etiquette, this sister-in-law is even more, it can be seen that she is pampered by everyone in the family, but she is not pampered at all, every time she sees her doing housework, she will reach out to help. Thinking of this, the corners of Liu's mouth also showed a little smile, glad that he married into the Zeng family.

Ziqing was laughing with Zifu, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu's expression, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't laugh at me, sister-in-law may have dreamed of something good, and she is drooling." ”

One sentence made Liu's face red, and Ziqing smiled even happier.

In a blink of an eye, it was the middle of October, Ziqing saw that hundreds of fruit trees had been planted, so he asked Wang Tieshan if he would build a chicken coop, and learned that he would, Ziqing told him to make a chicken coop between the saplings that had been planted, and there were some discarded bricks and stones and tiles that were built last time.

"It's still the same sentence, this work is not rushed, you do it slowly alone, you must do what I say, the first one I will come over to check, a chicken coop fifty wen." Ziqing added a few words.

Wang Tieshan listened to a chicken nest fifty wen, rubbed his hands and asked, "Mastermother, didn't you set a salary for us?" How to dig tree holes and give money, and pay for building chicken coops, but do you pay for wages? ”

"Of course, don't worry. I just saw that you are in difficulty now, so I will find you some subsidies, and in the future, after doing these tasks, taking care of the saplings and raising chickens and sheep every day, I will not give you a single salary, that is your business. ”

When Wang Tieshan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. I'm poor and scared these days, and I really don't feel comfortable seeing a housewife like Ziqing.

Two days later, Ziqing took Zifu to accompany him to buy all the chickens from the bazaar, there were more than eighty, put them into the first chicken nest, and told them that the chickens were still small, and they would be caught in the chicken nest at night, and they would go in and out by themselves when they were a few days old.

"Mother, don't worry, we will do these things, we are used to doing them at home, raising chickens and ducks, feeding pigs, what can't be done, my man can not do farm work, but also fiddle with fruit trees, and will castrate, you don't have to invite outsiders in the future." Li said.

"Really? This is great, otherwise there are so many chickens, it will be a trouble to invite someone to do it in the future, but I didn't expect to really pick up the treasure. Ziqing felt that it was really unexpected.

Li Shi saw that Ziqing was happy, so he said: "It's just that there is one thing, we want to discuss with the housemother, this mountain is a private school, can my boy be sent to study for two years, this month, thanks to the blessing of the housewife, there is also a hanging of money in his hand, we think about the child wants to go, just send it." The children can't do anything, we also have a certain amount of income every month, and we are not short of the tuition fee of 100 yuan. ”

"Okay, this is a good thing, you have to be willing to send it, the child will study for a few years, no matter how bad it is, the child will help you keep an account in the future, and it will be convenient to take care of something or something." Ziqing agreed, and also thought about letting the child go to his own school, and thought that it was still far away from this orange orchard, and it was a little inconvenient for a child from other places to go after all.
