Five days after Yixue's relocation, the old house that had lasted for forty years finally couldn't resist the torture of the rain, the wall collapsed, and half of Yixue became a ruin, and people who went to see it were afraid, and praised Zhao Lizheng's wise decision, and saw Lan Yi's smile and sincerity, even when Lan Yi went to give Old Man Zhou the winter clothes she made this year, Old Man Zhou was also rare to her and pleasant, and he wanted to keep her for dinner, Yang said that this was the treatment that the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family had never had.

Ten days after the relocation of Yixue, the continuous autumn rain finally stopped, and the long-lost warm sun began to shine again, and the old and young of Beigou Village finally showed smiling faces, busy cleaning up the drying store to dry the grain, and transporting the fertilizer that had accumulated for a long time to the field to prepare to plough the land and plant winter wheat.

Lan Yi was also busy, and took Wenxuan to the peony garden to check the situation of the peony, and asked Zhao Shangjing and Zhao Miao to start a cauldron to boil stone sulfur mixture to smear the peony plants, while she, Qi's, Zhou Suyi, and Zhao Gen picked the leaves of the peony and prepared to tie it up for winter.

Although Zhou Suyi is mute, his hands and feet are very diligent, and his own three acres of land have already been cleaned up and waiting to be ploughed, so he has the time to come to the hillside to help. Although Zhao Shangjing was very satisfied with him, he only let him do some chores, involving some peony cultivation and branching techniques, and even the formula of the stone sulfur mixture he learned from Lan Yi He kept it strictly, and did not let Zhou Suyi interfere, for fear that he would learn it.

Every industry has its own rules, craftsmen rely on craftsmanship to eat, Zhao Shangjing is a florist, unless he officially accepts Zhou Suyi as an apprentice, he will not teach him the unique craft of planting flowers and raising flowers. Zhao Shangjing is the leading florist of the Xia family, and his skills and experience in flower cultivation are naturally nothing to say. At that time, if he hadn't offended the sixth girl of Xia Mansion, Xia He would not have had no foothold in the county town and came to Beigou Village. After he came, Lan Yi asked his second brother Wang Linxi to get closer to him, and Zhao Shangjing had the intention of accepting him as an apprentice, and Zhao Shangjing also took a fancy to Wang Linxi. He was taught some of the skills of planting peonies, but later their business became bigger and bigger, and Lin Xi became the general accountkeeper of the merchants, so he did not learn this craft again.

In Lan Yi's opinion, Zhou Suyi's patience in tending to crops and flowers is no worse than Wang Linxi's, but it is not in Zhao Shangjing's eyes, Lan Yi looked at the smiling Zhou Suyi who was picking flowers and leaves around the burden. Sorry for him, it seems that there is some fate between him and Zhao Shangjing.

"Ahh Although Zhou Suyi can't speak, his ears are very useful. He raised his hand and pointed down the hillside, Lan Yi turned around and saw that Second Uncle Wang had come over.

"Mother, the second grandfather is here." Wen Xuan, who was wearing a small hat next to him to help pick flowers and leaves, shouted, "Second grandfather." ”

"Hmm. Xuan'er knows how to help with the work. Good boy. Second Uncle Wang praised and patted his little hat.

Wen Xuan's red little face smiled brighter than the sun, "Xuan'er has already picked up three burdens, faster than her mother." ”

Lan Yi shook her head, relieved her big burden, and greeted her, "Second uncle, why are you here?" Just leave the matter here on the hillside to me. You just have to clean up the fields. ”

"The crops are watched by your second aunt and younger siblings, I'll come over and see what is going on here." Second Uncle Wang looked at the puffs of black smoke coming out of Zhao Shangjing's yard. "Is this a boiling medicine?"

"Yes, it rained a lot this year, and Uncle Zhao said that he was afraid of hurting the rhizome, so he applied a layer of safety points before tying it."

Second Uncle Wang nodded, "Tomorrow, I will ask your two younger siblings to come and work with you, and the hillside in the north of the village has also been cleaned up, when are you going to move the seedlings?" ”

Zhou Weiji's house next to Zhao Lizheng's house behind the hillside has been cleaned up, the eight acres of hillside looks quite spectacular, when the hillside is cleaned up, Uncle Wang and Zhao Shangjing have already said that when planting peonies, first transplant the branches from the peony plants in the east of their village, and then plant this year's new seedlings after the branches are planted.

The peony planted in Puhe five years is already six years old, and there are thousands of plants out this year, planted on the slopes of Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi, and next year to raise flower buds for a year, and the peony seeds can be harvested the year after tomorrow, which is much faster than planting new seedlings that year.

Uncle Wang's hillside still has three acres left for seedlings, and this year's seedlings have left enough for Lan Yi, and the rest has also been ordered by people from this village and other villages. The price of peony seeds is very high this year, everyone sees the sweetness, and they plan to plant a little, and Uncle Wang's seedlings will naturally not lose money, and they will make money compared to harvesting peony seeds. Under the drive of Lan Yi and them, the neighboring fields and slopes in the village that can be planted with peonies have been divided by each family, and everyone has as little as four or five acres, and as many as ten acres and eight acres of peonies.

"After picking the leaves, transplant them, and the bottom fertilizer over there has been placed and moved directly to it, and then apply the medicine bundle after transplanting." Lan Yi said, this busy work, how can it take several days.

Second Uncle Wang nodded, "The things in the fields and on the hillside are important, the two of them are back tonight, I will tell them, first finish the things in the field and then go to the store." ”

"Second uncle, I have someone here to help with the work, you should do your work first, don't you have to clean up and build the house after you finish it." After Lan Yi and Zhou Weiji got married, Zhou Weikun and Zhou Weipeng had already said that they would come over to help when they transplanted seedlings, and Zhou Weiji would also take time to work, plus Zhao Shangjing's family of four and Zhou Suyi, people were enough.

Second Uncle Wang shook his head, "I won't cover it in the first year, and I'll talk about it in spring next year." In the past two days, there has been no ploughing in the field, so I just cleared the hillside first, and then the peony seedlings should come out, so someone has to watch it. ”

"Second uncle, why don't you cover it again? Although it was a little colder, it was not yet the time to freeze, and the effort was enough. If you feel that there are not enough people, we will hire some more from other villages. ”

Lan Yi didn't mention the matter of silver, Second Uncle Wang and Wang Linxi are not short of money to build a house now, a few days ago, Second Uncle Wang was worried that he couldn't break ground on a rainy day, why didn't he build it on a sunny day?

Second Uncle Wang responded, the cigarette pouch pot knocked on the stone, and his tone was dull, "When your second aunt went to the temple, I heard that the rain this year was heavy because someone frightened the Dragon King, and it was not appropriate to break the ground." I went into the city today to find someone to calculate, and that's exactly what I said. People gave me eight characters, saying that this year will be a year to work hard and lose my life. ”

…… Someone frightened the Dragon King, how much ability does this have to surprise the Dragon King!

Although Lan Yi doesn't believe it, building a new house is a big deal, and you must ask a feng shui master to look at feng shui to calculate it.

"Since that's the case, it's better to cover it again next year." Lan Yi said with a smile, "Second uncle, as the saying goes, good things are grinding, you are relieved, the rain is heavy this autumn, and the adobe is wet even if it is covered, and it is better to dry it for winter and next year." ”

Second Uncle Wang naturally understood this truth, and he also showed a little smile: "This is the case, what is going on in the cellar of your West Courtyard when it rains like this, is it damp?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, "It's a bit damp, but the drainage is good, there is no water seepage from the outside, I put moisture-absorbing hay and other things inside, and the things in the cellar are not broken." ”

Second Uncle Wang nodded, "I thought that since the ground will be started again next spring, it is better to build a cellar and store some things to be convenient and stable." (To be continued.) )
