Chapter Eighty-Three: A Little Respect
"Where did you get so many needles?"
Xie Zi'an said lightly: "I specially picked up blisters for you."
Qi Lele shrunk his neck and remained silent.
Xie Zi'an glanced at her, took a silver needle, held up her hand, and carefully picked up a blister for her.
Look at the beauty under the lamp, this beauty is also genderless.
Under the candlelight, Xie Zi'an's delicate side face is extraordinarily good-looking, his skin is white and delicate, as if coated with a layer of warm yellow light, his eyelashes are thick and long, casting a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids, the bridge of his nose is straight, and his lips are ......
"See what?"
Qi Lele subconsciously said, "Look at your good looks!"
Xie Zi'an glanced at her again.
Qi Lele inexplicably felt that Xie Zi'an was a little bluffing tonight, and subconsciously showed a flattering smile.
Xie Zi'an lowered his eyes again, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
When the blisters were punctured, Xie Zi'an took a small porcelain jar and carefully medicated her.
The room was quiet, and even the soft sound of the candle flame could be heard, and Qi Lele moved uncomfortably, wanting to break the silence, but for some reason, he didn't dare to make a sound.
"I'd like to add some more."
"Still want to hire someone?" After Qi Lele finished speaking, his voice immediately lowered: "Why do you have this idea? Is it because the family can't turn over the staff at the moment?"
At present, there are 26 acres of fields, two acres of paddy fields and seven acres of mulberry forests, even if you add the grape groves and watermelon fields that are about to be planted, it is only an area of one acre.
Who in this village doesn't have a field of dozens of acres, who has ever invited so many people?
"Right now, you think it's because you're busy with manpower, and it's good to wait until you're busy for a while! It doesn't need that many people."
Xie Zi'an's tone was steady: "Don't you still want to make sesame paste and soap?"
Qi Lele persuaded in a good voice: "Isn't sesame paste only shipped once every three months? Soap hasn't been sold yet, and you don't have to make it all the time. Three men are enough, and there are almost no living people in the field."
"Soon the silkworm seeds will come down."
"It's enough for me to raise silkworms myself!"
Xie Zi looked at her quietly.
The hatchbacks look at each other.
Qi Lele was the first to lose, and said weakly: "Otherwise, it will be possible to invite two more."
"I'm going to buy two more families."
Qi Lele straightened his spine instantly, and his voice became serious: "Do you want to buy two families? Do you have any plans?"
Xie Zi'an said: "I went to the city with Uncle Wang yesterday and met a former servant, and my life was not good, so I want to continue to follow us."
This is something Qi Lele didn't expect: "Then if you want to, let them come."
Xie Zi'an said: "In this way, the house will have to build another one, why not buy some more land? It just so happens that there are a lot of grape seedlings."
Qi Lele was silent for a moment, and then let out a soul torture question: "So you just deliberately pretended to be cold and scared me, so that I could agree to add two more families and buy some more land?"
Xie Zi'an didn't answer and asked, "You hurt your hand like this, and you don't want me to be angry?"
Qi Lele pursed his lips and looked at him with a slight suspicion.
Xie Zi'an raised his eyebrows and looked back: "Could it be that you don't believe it?"
Qi Lele said that I really don't believe it!
However, she also knew in her heart that whether she agreed or not, these two families would inevitably come, and Xie Zi'an was willing to spend time coaxing her to nod, which was also intimate.
Husbands and wives sometimes need this little respect.
Yes, Qi Lele finally nodded: "According to you, you just can't delay the planting of grape seedlings, time is really running out."
"Tomorrow they will come, plough the ground and fertilize it, and when the craftsmen have finished building it, they will plant the seedlings."
"That'll do."
Before going to bed, Xie Zi'an suddenly said, "If you don't want to, I have other ways to settle the two families, and I don't have to bring them back."
Qi Lele was stunned, then laughed, she propped up half of her body, leaned over, and quickly kissed Xie Zi'an's face: "Good night!"
Xie Zi'an turned his head, only to see a small back of his head, he reached out and touched his cheek, and said with a smile, "Good night, madam."
The next day, Xie Zi'an and Wang Yuzhong went to the city to pick up the two families. Qi Lele went to look at the soap first, and it felt much harder than yesterday, she took a few pieces, sent them to Aunt Wang, and explained the use in detail.
Aunt Wang's face was full of surprise: "I heard Xian Xian say yesterday, I didn't expect to be able to wash so many things? Why do you give me so much? One piece is enough!"
"Not much, there are so many people living here, let's use them together." Qi Lele smiled, "This is very simple to do, aren't the materials still prepared by you?" You don't need to save it, you can use it more!"
Aunt Wang didn't shirk anymore, and said with a smile, "Young Lady Xie."
The cottonseeds can be soaked for a day, and then they can be dried in the sun, mixed with a little plant ash, and then planted in the seedling field.
Don't look at the matter, but the amount of cottonseed can't be supported, Aunt Wang is still not allowed to interfere, Qi Lele has no choice, so he has to go to the field and call Chang Qingyun back.
Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen didn't follow, the two squatted beside Qi Lele, anxious to share what they had heard.
"The Du family went to Wang Lao Xiucai's private school yesterday, crying and making trouble, pleading for mercy and seeking death, which is more exciting than the big drama sung by the opera troupe!"
Qi Lele couldn't help but be amused: "What happened?"
"As a result, Mrs. Du didn't have time to pretend to faint, but Wang Laoxiu fainted first!"
"I heard that I still haven't been back in the city yet." Xie Ziyan sighed twice: "Now Du Zhuangzhi's reputation is completely gone, and no one will help him next year."
Qi Lele said: "You can't live by doing your own evil, if Du Zhuangzhi didn't have bad intentions and wanted to use Wang Laoxiucai to suppress and retaliate, he wouldn't have fallen into this kind of field."
At this time, it seems that the Du family is pitiful, and Du Zhuangzhi's future is ruined, but if it weren't for the Xie family's confidence, she would be pitiful!
Being pointed at by the most respected old show in these ten miles and eight towns and scolded for the loss of virtue, is there only a dead end?
"What about Wang Lao Xiucai? Did you say anything?"
Xie Ziyan said, "He is indispensable! And all this news went to the city. It is said that he is old, listens and believes, and does not distinguish between right and wrong! He also said that Du Zhuangzhi was a proud protégé he taught single-handedly, and the students' conduct was corrupt, where can he be a gentleman?"
Qi Lele said secretly, isn't it? not only taught a vicious granddaughter, but also taught such a student, which shows that Wang Lao Xiucai's conduct is indeed debatable.
Xie Ziyan said again: "Sister-in-law, it's best to be with the eldest brother or us these days, so as not to be stopped by the Du family who jumped over the wall in a hurry, and suffer a loss in vain."
Qi Lele raised an eyebrow: "What are they stopping me for?"
"It's not that you want to force your sister-in-law to compensate Lao Xiucai."
