Chapter 317: Confession
Since setting the schedule to go home, Zhao Yunlan has been very busy every day, running back and forth between the family, Zhuangzi and the school, eager to break a quarter of an hour into three quarters.
Although Zhuangzi has the second and third children to help keep an eye on it, he still needs to pay attention to himself. The first batch of peppers has been picked in the autumn harvest, but the first batch of peppers picked is not ideal. Zhao Yunlan picked a few at random and chewed them, there were not many pepper seeds in them, and the spicy taste was a little lighter.
"Sister-in-law, the first batch only picked out these for seed use." Li Mingli took out a dustpan, and the pepper in it didn't even contain half of it.
Zhao Yunlan nodded, feeling a little worried, this pepper may not have adapted to the climate and soil conditions here, so the first planting did not meet the expected goal. I'm afraid I can't adapt to it all the time, so there's no way around it. Sorrow is sorrow, but he doesn't dare to show it on his face.
"It's okay, let Deng Yong take Lao Qin and Lao Deng Tou to pick out the good ones, and then select the best of the best seeds, and these seed peppers are dried separately. The leftover peppers are also dried, and every batch of peppers that are picked later does the same."
Li Mingli nodded in understanding, and Zhao Yunlan said again, "Pick some peppers and send them home, and let He Hua make some pepper sauce."
He Hua had already learned to make pepper sauce from Zhao Yunlan, and the first few jars of pepper sauce brought from his hometown had been eaten, and Zhao Yunlan had already thought about making a few jars of pepper sauce when the peppers here were ripe.
"Well, I've picked them all, and I'll bring them back to He Hua when I go back in a while." Li Mingli knows Zhao Yunlan's thoughts, and now that he is used to eating spicy food at home, it is strange to think that he will not eat it for a while.
Zhao Yunlan asked about the situation of other fields again. Staple grains are planted in the fertile fields of Zhuangzi, and this time the autumn harvest is rice, and then Zhao Yunlan plans to plant winter wheat.
"Is Tian Du ready?"
Li Mingli: "I've ploughed it all over. With the help of cattle rented by the county government, these fields are much easier to cultivate."
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, let the old Deng head keep an eye on them, and then plant them when they should plant, and then those houses with hot springs in Zhuangzi will pick up the ground inside, and plant the leek heads when the weather is suitable, and you can also harvest a batch of leeks in winter."
"Yes."
"I'm going to see Caixia and the girls." After speaking, Zhao Yunlan walked towards the courtyard of the women's dormitory in Zhuangzi.
Li Caixia was teaching a few little girls in the yard, and when she saw someone coming, she immediately stopped the charcoal in her hand.
"Zhao Dongjia."
When several girls heard this, they hurriedly turned around and saluted, "I've seen Madame."
"Hmm." Zhao Yunlan responded softly and continued to speak: "Caixia, come over and I'll tell you something."
Li Caixia followed Zhao Yunlan to the side, with doubts and worries in her heart.
"Don't be nervous." Zhao Yunlan saw Li Caixia's mouth tighten unconsciously.
"I'm here to tell you that I'm going back to Lijia Village early next month, do you need to bring a letter home?" Because Li Caixia signed a one-year assignment contract, she couldn't go back with her halfway.
"Yes." Li Caixia nodded like pounding garlic.
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, then you can prepare for the next few days, just leave it to me before I leave."
"Can I still bring some things home?" Li Caixia asked cautiously.
"Yes, the things that are going to be sent home are also prepared together, and when the time comes, they will be loaded into a car with Deng Yong and Lao Zhang."
"Hey, thank you." Li Caixia smiled and thanked her.
Zhao Yunlan smiled and looked at a few little girls in the distance.
"How have they been studying lately?"
Li Caixia saw that she was asking about the right thing, and immediately said seriously: "Several younger sisters have already learned to make soap, and the soap they have made recently has reached the standard of sale. They also learn to read and write quickly, and they come to me every day to ask me."
"yes, okay. During the time I left, you will first make soap in Zhuangzi, and then make ordinary soap, and pay attention to the storage of molded soap.
In addition, I will give you another task, the factory has almost been built, and when Master Zhang finishes making the final wooden tools, you will go to see it
Look at how to arrange the layout in the soap factory, the layout in the factory must be arranged to suit everyone's work and work, and don't make bells and whistles, so as not to bump into things."
Li Caixia agreed without thinking about it: "Hey, the owner, please leave this matter to me at ease." This is not a big deal, Li Caixia is working in the workshop of Lijia Village, so she knows how smooth it is to work inside.
"Well, then I'll go first, you go on." Zhao Yunlan is still quite sure of the execution of the little girl in front of her.
"Slow down."
The affairs on Zhuangzi's side were basically handed over, and the remaining tails were handed over to the third child.
Li Mingyi took advantage of the last time to go to Youzhou City, wanting to see if there was a restaurant to sell, so he went straight to it if it was suitable.
Zhao Yunlan went home, and Mama Cui was playing in the yard with Xiaoqing'er in her arms.
"Mama, this time I will work hard for you to stay and take care of the two children."
The road is far away, so the two children stayed in Shiyang County with Li Mingren to be taken care of by Mama Cui. The last time Ruiwen came, he was sick on the road, and although Zhao Yunlan was reluctant to have children, she didn't dare to take this risk. Besides, Qing'er is small, so she can't afford to toss at all.
Mama Cui: "What did Madame say? That's what a slave should do."
Zhao Yunlan's face was gentle, and her eyes revealed reluctance.
"Xiao Qing'er, my mother is going to be away for a while, and you and your brother are going to be obedient at home."
"Hmm." Xiao Qing'er seemed to understand.
"You've promised your mother!" Zhao Yunlan touched her daughter's little face.
Xiao Qing'er reached out to hug her.
"Okay, mother's hug."
"Yunlan~"
Zhao Yunlan was enjoying the two-person world of mother and daughter with her little girl, and listened to Li Mingren's complaining cry.
"Shut up."
Li Mingren flattened his mouth.
"I'll tell you, don't make any fuss after I'm gone, fight steadily, and don't make any more mistakes." Zhao Yunlan advised.
Li Mingren was very reluctant in his heart, and he said, "I know, I must come step by step."
"Eat, don't be grim. You've all affected Raven, and I've been unhappy for the past few days."
As he spoke, Raven came over from his study.
"Mother, father." Ruiwen trotted to Zhao Yunlan's side, half-leaning on his mother's arm.
Zhao Yunlan handed over her little girl to Mama Cui and wrapped her arms around Ruiwen.
"Our son has grown taller again." Zhao Yunlan touched the back of Ruiwen's head, looked at Li Mingren and said.
"Well, it looks like it's a little taller." Li Mingren glanced at the mother and son and responded.
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Ruiwen, you are now your brother, this time your mother goes back, you have to take care of your sister at home, you know?"
The child, who was still a little sad, still wanted to rely on his mother to be coquettish for a while, and when he received such a solemn task, he suddenly lifted his spirits.
"Mother, don't worry, with me, my sister must be white and chubby, happy every day."
Zhao Yunlan smiled with relief and said, "Okay, my mother believes in you."
He Hua had already set the meal, Zhao Yunlan led Ruiwen to sit down, and the family of three adjusted their mentality and returned to their former joy.
