Before dawn, Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingren and set off to Xiaoqing Mountain.

Li Mingren was sleepy, but he didn't dare to refute, and he was finally able to get along alone with his mother, but he had to take advantage of the opportunity.

Zhao Yunlan was a little sleepy after driving the ox cart for a long distance, so she asked Li Mingren to catch the car and lay down on the car for a nap. Li Mingren just wanted to find a topic to talk to Zhao Yunlan, but Zhao Yunlan lay down. Li Mingren had no choice but to drive the ox cart honestly.

Zhao Yunlan didn't say a word on the way except to ask Li Mingren if he was thirsty and hungry. The two looked at each other without saying a word, so they went all the way to the courtyard of Deng Yong's house.

Zhang Heru happened to be doing needlework in the yard, and when he saw Li Mingren coming again, and this time he brought a woman over, so he asked, "Brother Li, who are you?" ”

Li Mingren made a salute before saying, "Sister-in-law, this is my wife, we want to come and ask Brother Deng to help." ”

Zhang Heru got up slowly and said gently: "My father-in-law hasn't come back yet, you guys come and sit down first, I'll pour water for you!" ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at Zhang Heru's movements and guessed that Zhang Heru should be pregnant, "Sister-in-law, you sit, let's just wait here." ”

Zhang Heru looked at Zhao Yunlan and smiled: "I don't know what to call this lady." ”

Zhao Yunlan introduced herself: "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Yunlan. ”

"Zhao Niangzi, let's sit down for a while! I'm tired of standing outside, I'm afraid you'll run for nothing today. Zhang Heru still said.

Zhao Yunlan didn't excuse herself, and the two went in and sat down.

Zhang Heru took two bowls of water, and took out fifty yuan from his waist and put it on the table. "This is the money you left yesterday!"

Li Mingren: "Sister-in-law, this is to pay you for room and board." ”

Zhang Heru: "We are humble here, and this food is not good, so we can't afford the money." ”

Zhao Yunlan said: "Sister-in-law, you can take it!" It should be, yesterday my father-in-law and the third brother in the family disturbed for so long, but we are embarrassed. ”

Originally, Deng Yong thought that if these people didn't come again, they would accept the money, but since this person came, Zhang Heru still wanted to return the money, a broken bed and two bowls of paste were not worth much, and there was no need to make Deng Yong difficult for this money.

Zhang Heru insisted that he didn't want to, and Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren didn't plan to take it back, so the fifty wen was put on the table until Deng Yong came back.

"Brother Li, I really can't go! Go back! Deng Yong said as soon as he saw Li Mingren.

Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan and introduced to Deng Yong: "Brother Deng, this is my wife." ”

Zhao Yunlan stepped forward and said directly: "Brother Deng, my name is Zhao Yunlan, in fact, I want to ask you to help me plant fruit trees." I also know your difficulties, if you have any requirements, we will solve them together, and I ask you to think about it again. ”

Deng Yong looked at Zhao Yunlan and then at Li Mingren: "You also see this situation in my family, my mother is sick in bed, the child at home is small, my mother is pregnant again, I really can't leave the family, I understand your kindness, I can't agree to it." ”

Zhao Yunlan continued: "Brother Deng, why don't you take your sister-in-law and aunt to Lijia Village together!" I've got food and shelter over there, and I'll help ask a doctor to take a look at my aunt's illness. ”

Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan in surprise and was speechless. In fact, this is what Zhao Yunlan calculated on the road, and some modern job hunts will also include food and accommodation! Moreover, in ancient times, talents were already scarce and not easy to find.

Zhao Yunlan also saw the pear tree in the courtyard of the Deng family before she completely made up her mind to put it forward. Although this pear tree is not very tall, the few remaining fruits on this tree that have been pecked by birds look bigger than the fruits of the wild pear tree on Daddy Li's mountain.

Deng Yong was also surprised, looked at his wife, then at Zhao Yunlan, and said, "Zhao Niangzi, why are you doing this?" How can I be? ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Brother Deng, did you plant this pear tree?" ”

Deng Yong told the truth: "Well, this is from the mountain over there, I dug it back and planted it for a few years, and now this pear is much sweeter than when I was on the mountain." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "I knew that Brother Deng was capable, and I asked Brother Deng to consider my proposal." There's a hill over there that needs Brother Deng. "Although the mountain has not yet arrived, it does not prevent Zhao Yunlan from saying this!

Deng Yong looked at the woman in front of him who was dressed simply, and did not have any expensive jewelry, and could actually use a mountain to grow fruit trees. After thinking about it, "I'll discuss it with my wife, and ask the two of you to sit down first." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded, Deng Yong helped Zhang Heru into the house, and Zhang Heru immediately said: "Xianggong, promise to go!" We went as a family. ”

Deng Yong looked at Zhang Heru, in fact, he was already moved, and he was a little hesitant when he thought that his father's grave was still here. I only heard Deng Mu shouting Deng Yong: "Dayong, come in." ”

After Deng Yong entered, Deng Mu said, "Dayong, go!" Mother can't drag you down anymore, I also know that you are a filial person, you are afraid that your father's grave will not be taken care of, the big deal is that we will talk to the village chief over there at that time, buy a piece of land and bring the grave over, I don't think your father will blame you. ”

Deng Yong was told this by his mother, and after thinking about it, he nodded heavily. turned around and went out to find Zhao Yunlan: "Zhao Niangzi, I promise, but there is still one condition." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Please speak?" ”

Deng Yong: "My father's tomb is still here, I'm afraid that I may not be able to come back in time to worship if I am too busy in the future, so I want to ask Zhao Niangzi to help me find your village chief to make peace, and I will buy a piece ......of land over there."

Zhao Yunlan thought for a while: "Brother Deng, no, you can rest on holidays at my place, and it's okay for you to come back early to worship when the time comes." There's no need to alarm Uncle Deng. Zhao Yunlan also knew how much importance was attached to the cemetery of this ancestor in ancient times, how easy it was to say that it would be taken away, and Deng Yong must have made a lot of determination.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "Like Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, there are three days off, and when the time comes, it depends on how Brother Deng arranges, and you can rest during the New Year. As for Brother Deng's salary, let's take one or two pieces of silver a month for the time being, and we can adjust it again in the future. ”

Usually, Deng Yong is a helper outside, let alone a month, or he can't earn a tael for half a year, this Zhao Yunlan has such a high salary and a good salary, which makes Deng Yong feel a little flustered.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "Brother Deng, it's just that I'm not ready yet, and I ask Brother Deng to wait at home first, and then my father-in-law will come to pick up your family, if Brother Deng agrees, you need to sign a contract with me, but this contract is ten years." ”

Deng Yong frowned when he heard that it was ten years, but he looked at his wife and nodded, "Okay, I agree." ”

Zhao Yunlan said happily: "Then Brother Deng, we will go back first today, and we will send the contract when we come to pick you up." ”

Deng Yong nodded, and just wanted to say that the fifty yuan on the table should be taken back by Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan left in a hurry with Li Mingren, and the husband and wife returned to Li's house in the dark.
