After the long-term workers were gone, Foreman Zhao asked curiously, "Little lady, did you buy all these lands?" Still planning to plant grape seedlings? ”

Chuncao listened to this little lady's special awkwardness, and said, "I also call you Uncle Zhao, don't call me the little lady, call me Chuncao, this little lady is awkward to listen to me." ”

Lu Ziqi rubbed Chuncao's head and said with a smile, "You're married, and you still expect others to call you girl?" Of course, it's called Madame. ”

Foreman Zhao is a bold person, and he laughed, "You see that your father-in-law has said it, so you should be called Mrs." ”

Chuncao pouted and said, "I don't want it, they call me old." Uncle Zhao, you have to call me Chuncao. As long as she talks to Lu Ziqi, Chuncao will always unconsciously reveal her little daughter's naivety.

"Okay, Chuncao, tell me what you want to do if you want to buy so much land? By the way, I don't know where you're from? Foreman Zhao threw out a series of questions.

"We are a small town in the south, Shuangshi Town, I bought this land to build a vineyard, as for what to do, keep it secret for the time being, and I will reveal the mystery to you during the New Year, and guarantee a surprise." Chuncao deliberately said mysteriously.

"Yo, it's still sold." Foreman Zhao saw that Chuncao didn't say anything anymore, and he didn't ask questions, after all, this was someone's private matter, and it was not easy for others to inquire about him if they didn't say it.

Uncle Fang also had questions, "Chuncao, aren't we planning to plant grapes?" With so many grapes planted in the field, and there are still many grapes to be harvested, what if there are too many grapes? ”

In fact, Chuncao didn't think of this question before, and only remembered it when he said that he was harvesting seedlings, so he replied to Uncle Fang, "How can this grape seedling bear fruit in the first year?" The fruit will begin to bear fruit next year at the earliest, and the fruit should not be good, at least the year after tomorrow, before mass production can begin, so we have to harvest the grapes first. ”

After Chuncao mentioned it, Uncle Fang also thought of this question, and said with a smile, "It's still Chuncao's brain that reacts quickly!" ”

Chuncao thought of a question and paid taxes, so Chuncao asked Lu Ziqi, "Nerd, how much tax do we have to pay in this land a year?" ”

"Tax grain is converted into silver, one tael of silver per mu, and eight hundred taels of tax silver a year." Lu Ziqi knew that Chuncao's brain was intermittently smart, and he didn't know about frequent common-sense questions, so he wanted to ask him, but he had some whimsical things in his head, so he naturally answered Chuncao's questions, but Uncle Fang and Foreman Zhao looked at Chuncao with an incredulous expression, and they didn't know the tax money of this acre of land? Foreman Zhao even slandered in his heart, this girl doesn't even know how much money to pay for an acre of land tax, is it reliable for her to toss so much?

The wasteland on the hillside, looking very close, but walking is quite far, it took a while to reach the small hillside, Chuncao pointed to the open space under the hillside, "I want to trouble Uncle Zhao, build a row of dormitories in this open space first, and it needs to accommodate about two hundred people." ”

"You don't have much land here, where do you want two hundred people."

"They are all refugees who were taken in by the former field workers, and they were specially explained to be left behind, in order to thank me, such a large piece of wasteland on the top of the mountain was given away for nothing." Chuncao thinks it's very profitable, and there's a small lake behind the mountain.

Uncle Zhao glanced left and right, "Where are you going to build your house?" ”

Chuncao pointed to the hillside, "Build back." ”

A few people turned over the mountain, and Chuncao pointed to the lake below, "The courtyard gate is facing the lake in front, but this carriage and ox cart can't get in, and the road has to be paved first." I thought I'd just pave the road to the front door of the house, anyway, it's flat all the way, and it won't be difficult to repair. Let's go all the way from the field we walked to the foot of the hill. We have a lot of family workers, and men, women, and children are all called up, which should be quite fast. ”

The foreman poked Chuncao's forehead, "You girl is really calculating, I'm here to repair your house, and I'm going to help you build a road by the way." ”

Chuncao stuck out her tongue, "You also have to bring in materials to repair the house, this road repair is a must, right?" I'm looking for someone to build the road again, so you're not idle. ”

Foreman Zhao looked at the terrain and said, "You are building roads and houses, but it costs money." ”

Chuncao knew that it would cost money, but she wanted to fix it all at once, "See how much it will cost?" ”

"Take two thousand taels of silver first, I don't know how to build the workshop cellar yet, and I will ask you to make up for it when it is bad."

Chuncao estimated that there would be no less, so he asked Lu Ziqi to take out the silver and give it to Foreman Zhao, and Foreman Zhao took the silver, "That's okay, we will start work tomorrow." ”

Standing on this small hillside, looking at the surrounding land, there was no end in sight, surrounding this small hillside, Uncle Fang couldn't help but sigh, "This is going to be planted with grapes, how spectacular." ”

Chuncao only felt the cold blowing, "Ouch, I just feel the blowing is cold, let's go back!" After speaking, he took Lu Ziqi's arm and walked down the hillside, thinking to himself, I have to ask my mother to make a few cloaks when I go home.

The group returned to the side of the carriage, Chuncao called the person watching the carriage, went back to Wu Bo and told him to arrange for a few people to go to the town in the afternoon to pick up the oxcart, Chuncao wanted to buy a few oxcarts to come back, so that it would be more convenient to go out to harvest seedlings.

A few people went back to the town, it was noon, and they went to the restaurant for lunch together, and Chuncao thought of a question, "Do you want to see the date when we start construction?" ”

Lu Ziqi looked at Chuncao, "I'll go back and rummage through it." ”

"No, I'll go back and flip it myself." Chuncao also firmly remembered the auspicious day of marriage that Lu Ziqi saw, but she didn't trust him anymore.

Foreman Zhao spoke, "Then I'll build the road first, and when you see it, notify me, and I'll start construction." ”

After lunch, Foreman Zhao was going to inform his people to start work, so he quit and went to work. Uncle Fang went back to see the eldest girl, Chuncao Lu Ziqi went to the cattle and carriage shop, and met Uncle Wu with a few people waiting over there.

Chuncao saw a few people coming with an ox cart, and asked curiously, "Where did you get the ox cart?" ”

Uncle Wu first gave a gift to the two of them, "The owner, madam, the little one listened to the words of the lady, and was afraid that the owner would wait with the lady for a long time, so he borrowed the old housekeeper's ox cart and rushed over." Seeing Chuncao's puzzled face, he hurriedly explained, "The old housekeeper outside the Tian Yuan stayed in Taiping Town to take care of the Tian family's old house. ”

After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Lu Ziqi Chuncao asked a few other people to wait outside, and took Uncle Wu to pick five ox carts and let Uncle Wu take them back, which can be used to harvest grape seedlings and build roads.

When he was busy and went back, Chuncao lay down and didn't want to move, leaning on the collapse, pouting and shouting "nerd".

Seeing Lu Ziqi enter the door, he said coquettishly, "Nerd, my back hurts, help me press it." I heard Lu Ziqi have goosebumps all over his body, but he still went over to sit in the poop and massage Chuncao.

Chuncao was not comfortable, and after a while, he fell asleep crookedly, looking at the Chuncao lying on the collapse and sleeping sweetly, Lu Ziqi showed a doting smile, squeezed into the collapse, and fell asleep with Chuncao.

In the evening, the two were woken up by Uncle Ran and asked them to go to the front hall for dinner, and heard that Xue Yangyang was coming over to pick up Yueyue back.

The two went to the front hall, and sure enough, they saw Xue Yangyang, and Xue Yueyue was also on the table. After saying hello and having dinner, Xue Yueyue said that she would leave for Qingyang Town with her brother tomorrow. Xue Yangyang is said to be going to Beijing, so he specially came to pick up Yueyue and go back.

"Have you said goodbye to the eldest girl?"

"The afternoon has passed, I'll come back when the big girl gets married, Chuncao, thank you, if it weren't for you, the big girl would probably hate me for the rest of her life."

Chuncao smiled and didn't speak, it seems that her words have worked, and the big girl seems to see it.

After dinner, when he returned to the yard, Chuncao was sadly dragged by Lu Ziqi to practice martial arts.

"Nerd, I have back pain and leg pain." Chuncao hugged Lu Ziqi's arm, shaking and shaking, all kinds of coquettish and cute.

Lu Ziqi pulled away Chuncao's hand and replied lightly, "Try to hold on for half an hour today." ”

Chuncao instantly turned into a bitter gourd face, looked at Lu Ziqi with a resentful face, saw that Lu Ziqi was unmoved, "hummed", and had to obediently go over and squat.

Looking at Chuncao's arrogant expression, Lu Ziqi couldn't help laughing, hearing Lu Ziqi's laughter, Chuncao's mouth was stubborn higher, and when he saw Lu Ziqi coming, he twisted his head to the other side.

Lu Ziqi knew Chuncao's temper, which came and went quickly, so he stopped talking and practiced boxing silently on the side.

In the end, he didn't last for half an hour, Lu Ziqi relented, lying on the bed, and Lu Ziqi continued to massage Chuncao.

"Nerd, you just deliberately toss me, practice martial arts, practice martial arts, why do you squat every day, and squat for so long." Chuncao lay on the bed, pouting and complaining.

Lu Ziqi added a little more force to his hand, "This is the basic skill, the basic skill must be practiced first, otherwise there is no strength, won't it all become a fist and embroider legs?" ”

"Do you feel like today doesn't hurt as much as yesterday? It doesn't hurt if you stick to it for a few more days. Lu Ziqi rarely chattered and said a lot of things, but Chuncao didn't make a sound again.

Finding that something was wrong, Lu Ziqi called two more times, but no one accosted him, and turned Chuncao over, who had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed. Lu Ziqi helped turn over, and Chuncao still closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to practice martial arts, I want to sleep." I found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.

The next day, when Chuncao got up and was about to send Xue Yueyue and Xue Yangyang back, he was told by Ran Bo that the two had already set off.

The two sat in the courtyard for breakfast, and Lu Ziqi teased Chuncao, "Little lazy worm, when you get up to send them, you won't be able to reach Shuangshi Town tomorrow." ”

Chuncao stuck out her tongue, as if it was really not early.

"Are your lower back and legs still sore today?" Lu Ziqi asked Chuncaodao.

Chuncao twisted her waist and shook her legs, "Ah, it's much better than yesterday." ”

Lu Ziqi smiled and nodded Chuncao's forehead, "I said that it would be fine if I lasted for a few days, I didn't lie to you." ”

This is the season of spring ploughing, Chuncao looks at the people here are hoes and loose land, I used to see my mother's house at home are hoe loose land, I thought that the family was poor and had no cattle to plough the land, but now I walked around Qingyang City, it seems that they are all hoes and loose land, don't you know that this place is not a cow plough?

Chuncao still asked Lu Ziqi to confirm, "Can't you use cows in this loose land?" ”

Lu Ziqi looked at the spring grass, "How do the cows loosen the ground?" Lu Ziqi felt that his daughter-in-law should have thought of something again.

Sure enough, Chuncao spoke, "I thought of a way to plow the land with oxen." "Chuncao grew up in the countryside, and the pear head of the cultivated land, because I was curious when I was a child, but I studied it carefully, and I still remember its structure.

Chuncao dropped the chopsticks and ran to the study, and Lu Ziqi's shout came from behind, "Finish eating first." ”

Chuncao replied loudly, "I'm full." So he picked up his quill pen, laid out the paper, and began to write and draw.
