122 Orphans

But just when the Zhou family was sitting in the hall and wandering, Sheng Jiaojiao went out of the hall to look at the trees in the yard, and now the fence of the Qi family's yard has been demolished, and it is ready to make a big yard, so some civil engineering and white ash have been bought and stacked in the courtyard of the Qi family.

Qi Hua pushed Uncle Zhou and was about to go away, but Qi Zhang came back.

He was carrying Tan Xiaojian, followed by several children with panicked expressions, each of whom was only the size of a lotus heart, and even smaller than a lotus heart.

Uncle Zhou saw Qi Hua from a long distance, he hurriedly turned around, no longer wanted to forcibly enter the Qi family, but ran to Qi Zhang's face, said a stack, and pointed to Sheng Jiaojiao who was standing under the eaves with an angry face.

Sheng Jiaojiao under the eaves gently fanned the fan, raising her eyebrows and looking at it.

Qi Huan's little face was full of anger, and he ran over and said something loudly, Tan Xiaojian's face was swollen and he was about to pull out the arrow, but he was stopped by Qi Zhang.

Because they were too far away, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't hear what they were saying, so she saw Qi Zhang bow to Uncle Zhou, and let Tan Xiaojian and Qi Huan take Uncle Zhou away.

Racked away.

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled, and looked at Qi Zhang approaching from a distance with a bright face, and she asked:

"Brother, what did you just say to Uncle Zhou?"

"Brother said that the Qi family is now in charge of Jiaojiao'er, I am busy in the army, and everything in the family depends on Jiaojiao'er."

Qi Huan walked into the courtyard, followed by a group of children, and while walking under the eaves, he pointed to the group of children behind him and said:

"I've brought back a few children, Jiaojiao'er, these children, I'm afraid I'll have to settle you."

"So many ......"

Looking at the dozen or so children standing in the messy yard, Sheng Jiaojiao put the fan in her hand behind her, swept it over at a glance, and asked:

"Where did they all come from?"

"They are orphans of brothers who died in battle."

Qi Zhang had a hearty smile on his face, and when he said these words, he showed a heavy pain.

Sheng Jiaojiao was stunned, and after a long time, she was stunned and said:

"Where is there no dead in war?"

There is no war of the undead.

Since there will be deaths, there will be orphans, and the orphans in Zhishou County, eight or nine times out of ten, their ancestors died in battle.

Qi Zhang snorted and said heavily:

"Their father died in the battle because of guarding Zhishou County, some of them remarried, and some of them were really difficult at home, most of them had the same idea as Lianxin's mother."

That is, abandon the girl and save the child.

After all, the resources to survive are limited, and where does an ordinary family get so many rations to feed so many children.

Especially in a place like Jiju-gun.

After a pause, Qi Zhang said again:

"I promised their father, if they kill the enemy bravely, I will take care of their children and raise these children to grow up, sister, brother can't break his word."

As he spoke, he looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with some apologies in his eyes, now that the Qi family is the head of Sheng Jiaojiao, if he wants to raise these war orphans, he must first get Sheng Jiaojiao's consent.

I only heard Qi Zhang's somewhat flattering continued:

"I know that it is not easy for my family to make money, and my sister is also very hard, but Jiaojiao'er, if I don't care about them, what will the brothers who joined the army under me think of me? The next time they try their best, they will look ahead and backward, and they will not die generously. ”

"I know, I didn't say I left them alone."

Sheng Jiaojiao took two steps forward, stroked the wind in front of her with a fan, and said with a smile:

"It's just, brother, let's talk ugly things ahead, the Qi family doesn't raise idlers, you see that our fourth young master is also doing work now, Qi has to be cleaned inside and outside, these children come to our house, eat well and dress well, and then go to private school for half a day every day, and have money to take, but to do the work of a girl, Brother answered me, how many children in the future, our family can raise it."

Since they are orphans of the war, there is no such thing as selling themselves into slavery, but the Qi family and the Tan family are now short of people, and there are more and more things, and the Qi family even has to do it themselves to serve tea and pour water, so there are too many things to do.

Poor care everywhere, overstretched everywhere.

Moreover, in the future, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji will both be great generals, Sheng Jiaojiao will never dare to buy people to serve them outside, it is better to raise some domestic servants and cultivate their loyalty from an early age, and it is better to use them without those vassal dead soldiers?

When Qi Zhang heard that Sheng Jiaojiao agreed, his face was very happy, no matter what conditions she proposed, as long as the Qi family was willing to raise these children, he would accept them all.

Looking at the messy courtyard again, Qi Zhang asked about the construction of a private school.

"The private school started construction with our family's yard and the Tan family's house, and it will only be a few days."

Sheng Jiaojiao replied and said:

"This time, the gentlemen of the three villages of Loess Village, Huangshi Village and Huangguo Village were invited by me to help, and the wages were settled on a daily basis, and the ladies also invited a lot, mainly responsible for the meals of the masters, I originally wanted to discuss with Uncle Zhou, and package more than ten acres of land by the water to the Zhou family to plant, but Uncle Zhou was unwilling, so he thought, just give Niu Ju's family."

She said a little chatter, Qi Zhang listened to it for a while, but couldn't answer anything at all, so he found an excuse to go back to his room to read.

Originally, when Sheng Jiaojiao didn't stand up, Qi Zhang still had to worry about the big and small things at home from time to time, the uncle's lung cough, the four guys' reading and writing, and they always had the heart to.

But since the Qi family unknowingly took charge of Sheng Jiaojiao, Qi Zhang found that all the old and young in the family were arranged by Sheng Jiaojiao clearly.

This gave him more time to focus on the barracks.

So after a long time, he found that the things that Jiaojiao'er said seemed to be far, far away from him, so far away that he didn't sound interested at all.

It's better to go back to the room and read a book.

As soon as he left, Niu Ju came to Qi's house.

She looked at the little boys and girls in the courtyard who were taken out by Lianxin, and asked:

"Jiaojiao'er, where did this child come from?"

"My eldest brother came back and said that their fathers had died on the battlefield, and there was no one to take care of these children, so they were brought back to be raised by the Qi family."

Sheng Jiaojiao responded, looked at Niu Ju with a smile, and asked:

"What's the matter? Are you here for me, or are you here for my big brother? ”

"What, of course I'm here for you."

Niu Ju, who was standing in the yard, blushed, she is now helping the Qi family to do the work, eating and drinking at the Qi family three times a day.

Therefore, the body was washed by Sheng Jiaojiao's water, and the original black and yellow skin was also lost, and the skin color of wheat grew unconsciously.

The whole person's figure has changed from the original strong to a vigorous show, and it looks like the big girl Qi back then, with a wild beauty.

It's just that she was talking about looking for Sheng Jiaojiao, but her eyes glanced at Qi Zhang's house, and she said again:

"I'm here to ask you, how are you going to plant the land this year, and my aunt said that she would wait for the Qi family to fertilize the land before planting."

Because of the expansion of the forest, the medicine field that Niu Ju A-Niang cultivated was not far from the forest.

She opened a large piece of medicine field on the edge of the Qi family's woods, that is, on the Niu family's land.

Since the snow has not melted, Niu Niangzi has been carefully tending to her medicine field every day, but seeing that the snow has melted, Sheng Jiaojiao is not fat, but Niu Ju is in a hurry.

In the past few days, many fast-moving families have begun to turn over the soil in the field, but the Qi family is busy renovating the house, and there is no explanation for farming.

Niu Ju A-Niang insisted that Niu Ju come to ask Sheng Jiaojiao's charter, and she was still waiting to make a fortune by planting medicinal materials.

The purpose of waiting for the Qi family's fertile land is to borrow the Qi family's water and soil to feed the medicine fields she opened, which was said before the winter last year.

"What are you waiting for our family to do? If the cow lady is in a hurry, it is better to buy some planting treasures from my house and go back, and you can get as fat as you want. ”

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and led Niu Ju into the hall to sit.

As soon as she sat down, Lianxin took a few little girls and carried red lacquered wooden trays into the hall.

The tray was carried by Lianxin, and she asked a few little girls to follow her to see how she did it, and when she finished serving tea to Sheng Jiaojiao and Niu Ju, she took a few little girls out and taught them the rules of tea.

Sheng Jiaojiao took the teacup, smiled at the lotus heart of a big girl, and then looked at Niu Ju.

Niu Ju's mind is not very delicate, but it is only unexpected that the Qi family is a little different from before, but there is no more thought.

Hearing Sheng Jiaojiao say this, Niu Ju asked with some hesitation:

"This planting treasure was brought back by Brother Ming from outside, I heard that there are only a few jars in the Communist Party, if I use ......"

Before the winter last year, Sheng Jiaojiao said that Niu Ju raised sheep for her, and she gave Niu Ju the money to start working, and Niu Ju's own sheep could also sell wool, goat milk, mutton and everything to Sheng Jiaojiao.

The money from the sale of sheep was calculated separately by Sheng Jiaojiao to Niu Ju.

If Niu Ju A-Niang wants to open the land to plant herbs and plant them, Sheng Jiaojiao will also collect the herbs of the Niu family.

As long as Niu Ju A-Niang's herbs are of good quality, no matter what is planted, Sheng Jiaojiao will not refuse.

But the problem is that Niu Ju A-Niang has no confidence at all, and she hasn't started planting yet, so she feels that this herb in her own field is definitely not as good as the one grown by the Qi family.

Sheng Jiaojiao straightened her waist, shook her head slightly, and said to Niu Ju:

"Hey, it's okay, I recently contacted a few merchants, all of whom were my second brother's former contacts, saying that they could bring a few cans of land treasures from the south for us, and if we want a large number of them for a long time, they can also think of a way."

At this time, Sheng Jiaojiao had actually made up her mind to sell the Qi family's feces and urine.

Nothing else, it's because she's so short of money.

And her lies have always been true and false, and Etuo and other merchants are indeed helping Sheng Jiaojiao bring the treasure into Zhishou County.

Before, I wanted to let the eldest lady's mother's Zhou family go to the dozen acres of land by the water pool, Sheng Jiaojiao still had some thoughts of helping, she would make the crops in the Zhou family's land grow more and better.

So long ago, Sheng Jiaojiao had ordered a lot of land treasures with Etuo, planning to fertilize the Zhou family, and of course these land treasures were only on the surface.

If Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't find some excuse to come out, how can she explain that the land of the Qi family and the Zhou family grows more and better?

Therefore, planting land treasure is just a pretense, in fact, Sheng Jiaojiao packed the Qi family's feces and urine and gave it to the Zhou family as a land treasure.

She counted the beginning, but she didn't count the result.

As a result, the Zhou family did not want to support themselves and made a fortune by farming.

The Zhou family just wants to divide the shares of the family.

Na Sheng Jiaojiao simply found another way to sell "planting treasures" to make money.

At this time, Niu Ju heard that Sheng Jiaojiao had a way to get the planting treasure, her eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand, held Sheng Jiaojiao's hands, and said happily:

"Since that's the case, Jiaojiao, my family buys it, no matter how high the price, my family buys this planting treasure."

"It's not expensive, but it's all used to fertilize the soil, so I need to use it a few more times."

Sheng Jiaojiao thought about it and quoted a price for Niu Ju, which was very moderate, ensuring that Niu Niangzi insisted on using it for half a month, and the land would be fat.

Then, she talked to Niu Ju about letting the Niu family plant the more than ten acres of land on the edge of Shuibo.

Niu Ju agreed to it, went home happily, and talked to A-Niang about planting treasures and farming.

Who knows, after listening to Niu Ju's words, Niu Niangzi agreed to buy the treasure from the Qi family, but she didn't agree, and she planted the dozen acres of land by the water.

"It's okay, it's not a lot of money, the Qi family now has a good relationship with many merchants, and it is not difficult for them to bring some farming treasures from the south, as long as there are planting treasures, plus those lands by the water pool, it is difficult for our family to have a bumper harvest."

Niu Ju tried her best to persuade A-Niang, the dozen acres of land are all in the prime area by the water, and other people's families want to plant them, but they don't have them yet.

Niu Niang slapped the table and yelled at Niu Ju:

"Are you old and confused, or am I old and confused, don't you want to think about it, the land by the water is so good, why should you plant it? She must not be sure that she can plant the dozen acres of land well, so she wants to give it to someone else's family to plant, you, you, now you have planted the poison of Jiao Niang, what she says, you believe it. ”

In fact, Niu Niangzi must open the land on the edge of the Qi family's woods, just because she believes in feng shui.

In this barren frontier area, a forest was planted by the Qi family, isn't this good feng shui?

It must be the luck that has come to the head of the Qi family, this year's Qi family, everywhere is good, Qi Zhang's battle is getting more and more powerful, the women of the Qi family are getting older and more white, tender and beautiful, and the Qi family has more and more money.

Even Uncle Qi's body bones are getting harder and harder, and last year, when he saw that his body was about to die, he didn't cough a word after a winter.

Therefore, the people in the village say that the closer you are to Qi's house, the better the feng shui.

Although Niu Niangzi is waiting for the Qi family to fertilize the land for sowing, Feng Shui is also very important, and even to some extent, it is more important than planting land treasures.

Therefore, where the water is so far away, no matter how prime it is, Niu Niangzi will not plant it.

Niu Ju stood in front of Niu Niangzi, her head bowed, tears swirling in her eyes, she stomped her feet and said:

"Jiaojiao is my best sister, how could she harm me? Our family has had such a day, what is not Jiaojiao's help, A-Niang ......"
