Jiang made a table of delicious food, and Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren ate happily. Now that the family is well-off and has everything he wants, Zhao Daliang no longer goes hunting in the mountains.

Zhao Yunsong was responsible for feeding all the pigs, sheep, and ducks at home, Zhao Daliang followed to help, and Jiang concentrated on making soap, and the family affairs were handed over to Huang Yuhua.

Zhao Yuncheng is responsible for studying hard, and now he has received the influence of the academy, Zhao Yuncheng is also a lot more stable, although his homework is not as good as Li Mingming, but he is a lot more sensible than his previous self.

The Zhao family is also united, and everyone wants to work hard to become Zhao Yunlan's strong backing.

"I'm going to open some flat land in the spring, and plant some beans and sweet potatoes, otherwise the cattle you bought for my father won't have a place to call." After the meal, Zhao Daliang talked to his daughter about his plans for the coming year.

The Zhao family has land, but it is mostly mountainous. Most of the people in Zhaojiagou make a living from hunting, and there is very little land that every household can cultivate, and some trees are mainly planted on the mountainous land. The family's land is barely enough for the family to chew, and the taxes paid are all from the hunting side, in a word, it is to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Yes, it's okay for my father to decide by himself, just don't go hunting anymore." ”

Zhao Daliang: "Oh, girl, my father knows the severity." Daddy is still waiting to enjoy the blessings! ”

Jiang patted Zhao Daliang on the back.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Dad, mother, eldest brother, you only leave the ducks at home, and I will take all the rest this time." ”

Zhao Yunsong: "Okay, I raised the ducks at home, and the feathers are bright, and they are not sick." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Hehe, just have good feathers." ”

Jiang Shi looked at the appearance of his daughter's ghost spirit and guessed that this was another good idea, and raised his eyebrows to signal Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Mother, you just wait to collect the money!" ”

Jiang saw that Zhao Yunlan didn't say anything, so he didn't ask anymore.

After resting at Zhao's house for a night, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren planned to go back. Jiang also knows that the Li family is different now, and his daughter is also busy, and he does not have his mother-in-law to retain Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunsong not only drove out his own ox cart, but also hired the village ox cart, plus Zhao Yunlan and his wife came, a total of three ox carts were all full of ducks.

I could only hear the ups and downs of "quack quack~" noisy, but Zhao Yunlan could endure it when she thought that these could be exchanged for silver money.

Zhao Yunsong and the owner of the ox owner in the same village followed Zhao Yunlan back to Lijia Village.

Ye Sheng watched the three ox carts coming home from a distance, and knew that it was the eldest young master and they were back. Hurriedly called the mother-in-law Xia and Chunxiang to help. Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi also hurried out when they heard the voice. It didn't take long for the men to catch all the ducks in the shed.

Zhao Yunlan still wanted to keep her eldest brother and the fellow of Zhaojiagou to have a meal together, but the fellow refused to live or die, and Zhao Yunsong didn't stay when he saw this. Zhao Yunlan asked Sister-in-law Xia to load some snacks for the two of them to fight on the road.

Zhao Yunsong was sent away here, and Zhao Yunlan thought about arranging for people to kill ducks and pluck their feathers. This time, it was still a priority to hire people in the village, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingli to talk to the village chief about recruitment, and Li Mingli rushed out like a small cannonball, with a happy face.

Zhao Yunlan suddenly realized something, it was too late to catch Li Mingli, so she had to let Li Mingren follow and take a look.

waited until Sister-in-law Xia set the meal, and the two brothers came back.

Zhao Yunlan: "Can things be done?" ”

Li Mingli: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, everyone will come tomorrow when they get the news." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "This matter is simple, it's just that I want to go to Fucheng earlier, so I want to hire more people, so that everyone can have a profit before the year." ”

Li Mingren nodded in agreement, they are all from the villagers, and it doesn't hurt to help within the scope of his ability.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren and saw that Li Mingren had nothing to say, so she had to hold back the curiosity in her heart.

At night, the husband and wife were lying on the bed, and Zhao Yunlan was tossing and turning on the bed with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

Li Mingren couldn't sleep peacefully when he was disturbed, and asked: "If the lady has anything to say, just say it!" ”

Zhao Yunlan pinched Li Mingren's arm: "Didn't I ask you to follow the third brother to see the situation, what did you see?" ”

Li Mingren: "See...... The third brother and the village chief uncle talked and laughed, well~ The third brother has indeed grown a lot in the past two years! ”

Zhao Yunlan rolled her eyes in the quilt angrily: "You didn't see anything else?" For example, the daughter of the village chief's family! ”

Li Mingren: "Sister Yuqing is on a cup of tea, but I see what she does, lady, you know that I only have you in my heart~"

Zhao Yunlan: "I know you're a pig, I'm talking about your third brother, you are involved in yourself, do you have a ghost in your heart to think so." ”

Li Mingren: "Ah~" was speechless for a moment, and patted his head before he thought: "Lady, I have absolutely no other thoughts, you have to believe me." I just said that why this third child is weird in the village chief's house, it always feels like he is competing for performance. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Fool, sleep." ”

In the end, the matter of the third child still did not affect the sleep of the couple.

The next day, Zhao Yunlan was busy recruiting workers, killing ducks, and plucking feathers. Li Mingli assisted together, and there was no limit to the men and women who recruited workers, a total of forty people, after all, in addition to the ducks brought back from the Zhao family, there were also ducks on his own mountain.

After all the ducks were killed and the hairs were packed, Zhao Yunlan asked Ye Sheng to send some of the killed ducks to Fucheng.

Zhao Yunlan continued to take the three brothers of the Li family to wash the duck feathers together, and fumigated and disinfected them in the pot.

The remaining duck Zhao Yunlan plans to make a smoked duck. Such a plan has to be delayed in the village for a few more days, but fortunately, the sun is good on these days, and rows of ducks are hung in the front yard, and if the sun continues, these ducks can also rush back to the city before the year after smoking.

As soon as there were many things at home, it was difficult for Li Mingli to find time to go out, but the girl from the village chief's family came to visit Zhao Yunlan.

"Sister-in-law Yunlan, my father said that I would bring you some winter bamboo shoots, and my father also said thank you for pulling the villagers." Li Yuqing carried a basket of winter bamboo shoots, lowered her head and said a little shyly.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "This is what we should do, the villagers have also helped us a lot before, and the village chief uncle has really paid too much for our Lijia Village." ”

Li Mingli was busy working in the front yard, but when he heard Li Yuqing coming, he followed.

Zhao Yunlan saw that the two of them should be interested in each other, smiled, and politely left Li Yuqing to eat at home.

Li Yuqing put down the basket and hurriedly got up: "No, there is still something at home, so I'll go back first." Yunlan sister-in-law, Mingli, you are busy. ”

Li Mingli grinned and smirked, thinking of sending Li Yuqing away, Zhao Yunlan shouted when he saw this: "Third brother, you go and do your work, I'll send Yuqing." ”

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: This 'Ming Li' has been shouted, but you have to pay attention.

Li Mingli was a little reluctant in his eyes, but he also knew the measure, so he could only watch his sister-in-law send Yuqing out.
