Chapter 284: Caught off guard
Well, that doesn't seem right.
According to the development of the third sister and Song Han, it seems that it will not be able to wait for three years. But anyway, she doesn't have to pay off the land money in three years, it's five years in total, so why don't you have any spare money? Besides, the third sister still has a wine house in her hand, and the big deal is that the walnuts will also belong to the third sister, and the walnuts will come out of her in the future.
Speaking of which, Song Han seems to have asked the third sister to go to Linhai Village to catch the sea today. The eldest sister is anxious, if it weren't for the fact that she has been a little distracted by her in the past few days, I am afraid that she would have been urged many times.
Walking around the fields, there were oranges left over from the harvest in a mess, as well as dead grass and messy trees, and occasionally a bead or two of useless wild locust trees in the field. These have to be taken away, and manpower is a big problem. It's better to delay it for a few more days, and when winter is approaching, and people are idle and labor is cheaper, she will hire someone to repair it. This year, this field is going to be idle.
If her brain could be better and make one or two simple mechanical tools, only two or three people would be enough for this hundred acres of land. Cherry thought slowly as she walked.
Suddenly, a voice came from a distance through the open field: "Sakura ~~Peach~~"
The slightly thin figure was even thinner against the backdrop of a large open field, his back was straight, and the breeze gently caressed the hem of his clothes, calmly flying. He had a smile on his face, and as soon as his curled hand was lowered from his mouth, he strode towards it.
"Brother Qingzhu?" Cherry's eyes lit up, and a few hints of joy floated: "How do you know I'm here?" How did you get here? ”
"I heard that the two eldest sons of the Zhou family left, so I dared to come over. But the door of your house was locked, and I went to the wine inn again, and your third sister said that you were here, so I came over. I haven't seen you for days, and I have a lot of things to tell you. ”
"Zhou Mingyuan's princess has been here, and the eldest sister is afraid that she will not be good for me, so she wants us to move out for a few days." Cherry narrowed her eyes slightly, and led him back with a smile: "Let's go, go into the house and talk." ”
"Your third sister said that you bought a farm, this is it, right? I walked all the way and saw that the land was fertile, and the location was good, so it was convenient for light and water to draw at that time. It's just too big, too much effort. Sun Qingzhu followed the cherry towards the small house standing alone in the field: "But what I wonder is that no matter how cheap this land is, it has to be worth a thousand taels of silver, your second sister has just gotten married, your family will not have too much money, where did you get so much money?" ”
"Hehe, I have my own way." Cherry told Sun Qingzhu about the installment she thought of.
"Clever." Sun Qingzhu raised his eyebrows slightly and thought for a while, and gave a thumbs up, "You are so smart, you can think of such a good way." ”
"Haha, even if you praise it, I'm not welcome, accept it!"
"But there's a better way, why didn't you think of it?" Sun Qingzhu squinted slightly, smiled, and scolded slightly: "I thought I couldn't be more familiar with you and a good friend, but you have such a thing, why didn't you be the first to think of asking me for help, but came up with this method of installment payment?" and if he does not, he shall take out two hundred more pieces of silver. ”
"Your money is not easy to earn, why should I be embarrassed to borrow it? It's easy to say less, but it's too much. Besides, you are also a person who is about to get married, so you have to keep the money for a happy event. Cherry-like as if unintentional: "Oh! That's right. Uncle Chang Sheng also asked me to persuade you, you are not young, and you should also worry about marrying a wife and having children. My uncle's second brother is the same age as you, and his birthday is younger than yours, and now my second sister-in-law is happy. ”
Hearing this, Sun Qingzhu's smiling eyes stiffened slightly, his figure paused, and the corners of his mouth showed a little bitterness: "Men are ambitious in all directions, why worry about this kind of children's affairs?" ”
"Not in a hurry? So how long do you have to stay before you can rush? Cherry used a matchmaker's persuasive tone, bitterly: "You, you are exactly the same as my third sister, and I don't know where to go with that vision." Originally, I thought that if it really didn't work, I would put you together. But now that the third sister has eyebrows, you have to hurry up. You are not in a hurry, there are a large number of people in a hurry. Don't look at Uncle Chang Sheng's giggling all day long, but he is bitter in his heart. Your mother died early, he worked hard to bring you up alone, and now you have to be busy with your business, he is alone all day long, isn't he looking forward to you becoming a biological child, and the family is more lively. ”
"I ...... I've got my own measure. Sun Qingzhu's voice was a little sluggish.
"It's not okay to be measured. Hurry up and find a matchmaker to trust the matchmaker, even if you are demanding, you have to ask the matchmaker to find hemp slowly. ”
The two walked to the front of the hut, and Cherry reached for the door.
"I won't go into the house." Sun Qingzhu stopped her: "Just sit in front of the house for a while." Just talk and go. It's just you and me here, and if you enter the house, it's not good. ”
"Are you still afraid of this?" Cherry laughed, "I'm really impressed, when did you care about this." In fact, in her heart, she has never seen Sun Qingzhu as a man, he is an elder brother, a sister, and a friend.
"I'm not afraid, I'm worried about you." Sun Qingzhu puffed up his breath and tentatively said, "I'm afraid of disturbing your woman's reputation." When you get married in the future, your husband's family will be unhappy. ”
"If you don't enter the house, you won't enter the house, I see that the square bluestone roof in front of the house is good, it was put by the former owner, and it was given to me when I sold the land. Later, it will be slightly trimmed and shaded by trees, and it will be a great place to sit on the rocks in the shade or sleep in the summer. Let's go sit down and try it. Cherry didn't notice Sun Qingzhu's abnormality, and walked towards Qingshi with great interest.
Sun Qingzhu's eyes flashed with disappointment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head lightly with self-deprecation, and walked forward behind Cherry.
"This piece of land is really not small, you can't get it yourself, and it is estimated that you don't have much money in your hands to hire someone, what are you going to do?" Sun Qingzhu changed the subject before Cherry spoke.
"Anyway, the autumn grain can't be sown, and the land will be idle this winter, and it is just right to fertilize the fields. I want to wait a few more days, lean on the cold weather, and when the people are idle, I will ask someone to turn over the ground, and the labor will be cheaper. Cherry sat on the bluestone, her legs dangling slightly, and pointed to the field in the distance: "What to plant in the coming year, I have already thought about it." On the other side, cucumbers and potatoes are planted intermittently, and on this side, beans and soybeans are planted interspersed, which can make up for the empty autumn grain. He withdrew his hand again and pointed to his feet: "Here, I am going to dig into a pond, it doesn't need to be too big, ten feet is enough." When the time comes, raise some fish, plant some lotus, soak your feet in the water in the summer, which is comfortable and eye-catching, and the fish you raise can cook for the invited long-term workers. How nice. ”
"It's good, but no matter how cheap your labor is, I'm afraid the money won't be enough. Now that the land has been bought, it won't take much money, so if you are useful, just come to me. If you think of another way to do something else, I'm going to be angry. ”
"Okay, good" Cherry squinted and grinned: "It's not okay to listen to you?" If I use money this time, I will borrow it from you. You don't want to borrow it. This time I will listen to you, but you have to listen to my advice when it comes to getting married, Uncle Chang Sheng and others are anxious, you can also have a snack. ”
"Yes." Sun Qingzhu's originally smiling eyes narrowed slightly, and he answered softly. The fine eyelashes blinked slightly, and then said: "A few days ago, a friend got a good tiger skin, I asked someone to deal with it, and I haven't got it back yet." When I get my hands on it, I'll give it to you. You go to the clothes shop and measure it, and make it into a nail, or a small cloak, which can be warm to wear in winter. ”
"You can keep that good thing for yourself and use it well." Cherry waved her hand: "How dare I take it?" "Obediently, in modern times, a toothpick made of a tiger's beard is worth thousands of dollars, this is good, the tiger skin has been brought, although there is no network in ancient times, and the transportation is not developed, but it is not completely unbeneficial.
"I don't need it." Sun Qingzhu stretched out his hand and brushed the broken hair on his forehead: "When it's done, I'll ask someone to send it to you, and you can go to the shop to make clothes yourself." The leftover materials can also be used as gloves or insoles, which are very warm. ”
"You're always worried about others, and it's good when you can grasp your own tightness." Cherry refers to the matter of marriage. She stared straight into Sun Qingzhu's eyes and smiled: "In the future, my sister-in-law will give birth to a doll, but I will give it to the golden lock." ”
Sun Qingzhu had a faint smile on his face: "Hehe, mention this again." ”
The two chatted for a while, and it was almost noon before Sun Qingzhu got up to leave.
Cherry went into the house and cleaned up, and began to prepare for cooking. When she came this morning, she had already brought all the things she had eaten, pots and bowls and the like, which were already in this small room, and most of the things were kept by the original owner, and she used ready-made, convenient and tight. When the money is more relaxed, it will be renovated and expanded, and those long-term workers who don't like to go home can live here.
I gathered some messy dead grass and oranges from the field outside the noodles to make a fire, simply stir-fried a vegetable, heated the steamed buns, and brought them to the table in the small main house to prepare for dinner.
As soon as I picked up the chopsticks and didn't eat them, two big men suddenly broke into the door, covering their faces with black gauze, one holding a long rope in their hands, and one holding a one-person-high cloth bag in their hands.
As soon as the two entered the door, they pounced on the cherry without saying a word.
"Do what?" Cherry was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to hide, but unfortunately this house was so big, and there was a big man at the door, so how could she hide when she was caught off guard? As soon as he was caught by the big man who pounced on him, he grabbed his arm.
The big man clamped her right arm firmly, and there was a burning pain from above. Before Cherry could open her mouth and scream, her head hurt, and her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.
