Chapter 229: Waiting to Deliver

"No! The port is at a critical stage, and we can't afford to go wrong. Godfather, you better go and watch it! Besides, you haven't done farm work before, so you might be able to help! Yu Xiaocao rejected his godfather's proposal, and said, "Or...... Ming'er Niang is digging a pit in front, I'm planting, it's always okay, right? ”

The house town still didn't agree: "Your hand is injured, what if you get infected with dirty gas?" When the time comes, it's not about helping, it's about adding to the chaos! ”

Xiaolian and Yu Hang hurriedly said: "I won't go to the dock tomorrow (I won't collect seafood), go to the field to help!" ”

"That's it! Don't make any noise!! It's only about ten acres of land, and it's a mess, if you buy dozens or hundreds of acres of fertile land like Cao'er said, you won't be so worried that you can't sleep all day long? It's so decided, Ming'er is still me and your mother, and the grass goes to the ground. The grass is watching the mistakes elsewhere, don't do anything! What should the others do, what do they do! At this time, Yu Hai took out the courage of the head of the family and made a decision.

Before going to bed, Xiaocao came to the west courtyard next door as usual, and used her little paws wrapped in gauze to give her godmother a pulse. Because of the proper diet and the nourishment of the spirit stone water, although the godmother is pregnant with Liujia, her body is better than when she first came to Tanggu. Yu Xiaocao took his hand away with confidence.

Mrs. Fang gently grabbed her little paw wrapped in pig's trotters, and teased with a little distress: "Yo! Our eldest lady has only been working for a day, so she makes her little hands so miserable? ”

Yu Xiaocao pouted and complained in a low voice: "It's the godfather who made too much fuss, but he just grinded a few bubbles, and wrapped it as if my hand was broken." ”

The house town came in and touched the daughter-in-law's belly, looked at Xiaocao's hand to Mrs. Fang, and said, "You didn't see it, in the white and tender palms, there were blood blisters the size of a few peanuts, and a lot of blood was shed after they were broken." Alas! It's not just about ten acres of land, and we can't afford to hire people! It's a big deal to pick a few strong people from the refugees and buy them, so why do everything yourself? ”

Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "We are eye-catching enough in the village, we just bought more than a dozen acres of land, and bought people to farm, don't people pay attention to us behind our backs?" ”

"Whoever loves to pay attention to it is exquisite, and if he has the ability, he will also buy land and buy people!" The house town blows the beard and stares authentically.

Yu Xiaocao knew that his godfather felt sorry for him, so he changed the topic with a smile and said, "Godfather, godmother should give birth next month at most." The conditions in the countryside are not good, and the midwives are not professional, I think Ming'er should go back to the town to give birth, right? ”

At the mention of the soon-to-be-born child, the house town immediately showed a silly smile, and said hehehe: "I have discussed this problem with your godmother, and when your corn and potatoes are planted, we will go back to the town." ”

House Town is now convinced of her goddaughter's medical skills. My daughter-in-law is not young, and she is the first child, so she has no experience. If the godgirl doesn't follow, he is not sure! However, the corn and potatoes were ordered by the daughter to make a military order with the king of Yangjun, and they could not be delayed. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law still has a month to go before her due date. He still heard the word due date from Xiaocao's mouth!

Linglong looked at her wife's round belly, and felt that it was safe to go back to the town earlier. She said softly: "Madam, Ming'er asked Pearl to accompany you at home, and the slave maid went to the field to see if she could help." One more person to work, always faster! ”

Mrs. Fang raised her smiling eyes, glanced at her most proud big girl, and said to the house with a smile: "Linglong and Pearl, these two girls, follow us to Tanggu, but you will suffer a big sin!" Often, big girls like them are like small jasper, and their fingers don't touch the spring water, and there are few little girls under their hands. But when they arrived in this Dongshan Village, they were cooking on the fire and planting vegetables and picking vegetables, which was really difficult for them! ”

Pearl hurriedly said, "Madam, you can torture the slaves and maids by saying that!" Madame is tolerant and generous, merciful and benevolent, and the little sisters who returned to the Xia family in the past envy the slave and maid for following a good master! ”

Linglong gently pinched Mrs. Fang's shoulders and chuckled, "It's not! There are benefits of Kyori in Kyori, and there are benefits of Higashiyama Village in Higashiyama Village. Our Dongshan Village is beautiful, and the mood is comfortable when we see it, and we eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day. If you want to say, the rules in Beijing are big, and you still stay at ease in Dongshan Village! ”

Mrs. Fang patted Linglong's hand and said with a smile: "You two are both well-behaved. Madame, I remember them all! Okay, tomorrow Linglong will take Wangfu and his wife to the field to see if they can help. ”

Early the next morning, the three members of the Yu family came to the field with Linglong and the two subordinates of the Fang family. After a long day's work yesterday, I have planted nearly two acres of land. Liu's skills in digging pits have almost mastered, and under the guidance of Xiaocao, he quickly got started.

Wangfu came from the house in the town, and he was also a veteran before selling his house. The farm work is faster than Yu Hai and his wife, and the hoe in his hand is as if he has spirituality, and the pit is dug quickly and well. Wangfu's daughter-in-law followed behind her man, skillfully throwing seeds and burying soil inside. The two worked together very well.

Linglong is the son of the Xia family, grew up in the Gaomen compound since he was a child, and has never been exposed to farm work. Fortunately, it is not difficult to plant, she was still relatively rusty at the beginning, and slowly she gradually got started.

Yu Hai carried a bucket of water, followed behind the two of them, and sprinkled some water on the seeds that had just been lit. There can be too much water, and the seeds will be soaked if there is more water, and it can not be less, and if there is less, it will reduce the germination rate. However, the seeds that have been baptized by the spirit stone water do not have such concerns.

With three more people and more skilled work, today's efficiency is much faster! By evening, there were less than two acres left of the remaining eight acres.

When he came back, Liu smiled and said, "Ming'er will almost be able to order all the corn." Thanks to Linglong and Wangfu Brother, otherwise we would have been busy for a few more days. ”

Wangfu smiled honestly, but Wangfu's daughter-in-law said smartly: "Don't you dare to be called Mrs. Yu like that." Mrs. Yu is a relative of our general, and she is half the master of the minions, so calling the minions by name directly will give us face! ”

Seeing what Liu was going to say, Linglong hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Ming'er will almost finish planting corn in the morning, I don't know when the remaining acre of potatoes will be planted?" ”

Yu Xiaocao also took over and said, "The seeds of potatoes have sprouted. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, you can plant it. Sister Linglong, are you tired today? Go back and take a hot bath, have a good rest, my hands should be almost good tomorrow, and I will be enough for the three of my father and mother! ”

Seeing what Linglong was going to say, she said again: "The house in the town has not been inhabited for a long time, although there are a few people left to guard the door, but if you move over, someone still has to watch and clean it well." There are also midwives, who have to be found in advance...... Sister Linglong, you are the person who needs to be used by the godmother's side, the godmother is heavy now, but she can't do without you! ”

Wangfu's daughter-in-law said with a little flattery: "Miss Ming'er Linglong don't come over, I will come over with our helper, I should be able to be busy!" ”

Linglong thought about it, Miss Cao'er was right, Ming'er she still went to the town to keep an eye on it, Mrs. and the child in her belly were the most important thing!

In this way, after two more days of busy work, the Yu family's more than ten acres of land were completely planted. Before Xiaocao could rest for a day, the house town couple packed her up and brought her back to town. Linglong is also a capable person, and she worked hard to put the house in order properly, and the two famous midwives in the town were also invited to the house by her, serving them with good food and drink.

Most of these two midwives delivered babies to wealthy families in the town, and the biggest officials they had ever seen were just petty officials such as the head catcher of the county government and the history of the county officials. As soon as I heard that Lord Qincha was invited, my legs were weak, and I didn't dare to let go of a fart, so I obediently followed the people of the house.

After living in the house for a day, I gradually eased up, and a burst of joy appeared in my heart: they are the first to be able to deliver the wife of Lord Qincha! If it goes well, it will not only be famous but also beneficial! They have heard that Lord Qincha has a middle-aged child, and the reward will definitely not be less when the time comes!

Xiaocao came to the town and was not idle. After some inquiry, I found Li Da, a toothman with a better reputation in the town.

Li Da was taken to the house with a little trepidation. With his social connections, how could he not know that this was the house of Lord Qincha? What did Chincha-sama do with him? Could it be that there are not enough subordinates and want to buy some subordinates?

The person I met was a little girl who was less than ten years old, and although her dress seemed ordinary, it was comfortable and sophisticated. Such a little girl shouldn't be a big girl in the house, right...... Is it the goddaughter recognized by Lord Chincha?

Li Da didn't dare to slack off, and solemnly stepped forward to salute. Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "Li Yayu doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk!" ”

Following Mrs. Fang, who was born in a famous family, Yu Xiaocao has already been in a three-point style when dealing with people. She waited for Li Da to sit down, smiled gently, and said softly: "Li Yayu, I heard that most of the Yayu business in this Tang Ancient Town is in your hands!" I don't know, is there a large piece of farmland for sale nearby? ”

Li Da sat up straight, thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Hui, do you want to buy a large farm, or just farmland?" ”

"Farmstead? Farmsteads for sale? Yu Xiaocao learned that farms are generally in the hands of wealthy families, and not only have large tracts of fertile land, but also sell them together with tenant farmers. If you can buy a farmstead, it will save a lot of trouble!

Li Da hurriedly said: "A wealthy family surnamed Ma in the town has failed to do business and is in urgent need of capital turnover, so the Ma family plans to sell a Zhuangzi, including 60 acres of high-grade fertile land, 30 acres of medium-grade fields, and 80 acres of low-grade fields. This Zhuangzi is located in the east of the town, just over ten miles away from the town. ”

A total of 170 acres, and located between Tanggu Town and Dongshan Village, which is in line with Xiaocao's intentions. If the price is not too outrageous, Xiaocao is ready to take it!

"I don't know what the price is ......"
