After Steward Li left, Hui Lan was extraordinarily calm. Except for my aunt who sent someone to send fruit to eat twice, there was no external force to disturb. Eat, sleep, read, and write every day, and at most take a stutter. is so comfortable and calm, she has a feeling of quiet years.

It started to rain in August and didn't stop for a few days. On the third day of the new year, Steward Zhou finally took the time to return to the city.

"I've seen a girl, this has always been rare, the girl has grown taller." Steward Zhou was full of smiles.

"Uncle Zhou, get up and sit down, Uncle Zhou has also worked hard, and he is tanned. Have you had breakfast? If you don't eat, go eat first. Hui Lan said with concern.

Qingguo quickly served the tea, and Narcissus took the fruit snack and put it on the high table in Steward Zhou's hand.

Although Steward Zhou was not white, he was not as dark as he is now. Uncle Farmer is indeed not easy, Huilan sighed.

"Miss Xie, the old slave entered the city after eating. In the summer, the sun is full, even if you don't have to go to the field to harvest wheat, the sun is not light. "Steward Zhou didn't care at all.

Hui Lan nodded, "Everyone is okay in Zhuangzi, Old Steward Zhou and Mother Liu are okay, I haven't seen each other for a long time, but it's quite similar." ”

Steward Zhou smiled and said with concern, "Everyone in Zhuangzi is good, even if there are those who don't understand farming, they are all humbly learning." Everyone is holding back their strength to take care of it and not embarrass the girl. The old slave's father and the people in the house were worried about the girl, so I asked them to say hello to the girl on their behalf. The girl has always been good, but is it still good in the mansion? ”

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, the old lady in the mansion, my cousins and cousins are all good to me. What's more, there are aunts and uncles, there is nothing unpleasant. What Hui Lan said was categorical, and her eyebrows and eyes were comfortable.

Steward Zhou relieved his heart when he heard this, and said happily, "Girl, this year is a rare and good day. Our family's Zhuangzi has a bumper harvest of grain, and the fruits planted have grown well. Here I have to ask the girl to decide, this year's harvest is thirty percent more than last year's, and the granary vacated by the old grain of the previous year cannot be placed. Is it better to free up some of last year's food so that it can store new grain? ”

No one is looking forward to a poor harvest or no harvest in their own land, and Huilan is happy. The harvest is good, it's all money. A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and the landlord's family has no surplus food.

Hui Lan nodded, "It's good that Uncle Zhou is in charge, don't forget to leave enough rations for each family." ”

The monthly money of the errand in the village outside the city is definitely not as high as that of the errand in the house. However, there is still a fixed amount of grain according to the head of labor every year, and there are at least five buckets of grain.

Hui Lan heard about this policy before and was very emotional, this is very humane. It not only stimulates the enthusiasm of the labor force, but also ensures the interests of the disadvantaged groups. It is said that it was set when Taizu founded the country, which not only encouraged production, but also improved the survival rate. Although each family is more or less different, they are all being implemented.

Hui Lan used to read novels, and there were those black-hearted Zhuang Tou who drank blood and killed him. There were only so many people left in the family, and Hui Lan didn't want that to happen. Although she believed in Steward Zhou's father and son, she still mentioned such a sentence.

"The girl can rest assured that she has set aside the grain list to be distributed to the Zhuang Shangren according to the old practice, which is all old grain from last year. According to the girl's previous rules, children under the age of eight and the elderly over the age of 60 are given double copies. Steward Zhou said solemnly.

Hui Lan smiled proudly but restrainedly, she was a newcomer, and she must be gracious. But I don't know where to start, so I simply respect the old and love the young, and the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign teachers are universal, so I added such an article. Sure enough, whether it was an errand in the house or going to Zhuangzi, whether it was young or strong, old and weak, they were all very excited. The scene was so enthusiastic that Hui Lan thought that she had become a savior, and she was embarrassed, but Hui Lan was ashamed and happy.

Hui Lan coughed lightly, "Is the grain in the warehouse, it has rained in the past two days, it won't have an impact, right?" ”

"All the new grain has been put into the warehouse, and the old grain, except for the distribution to the subordinates, is also placed in an empty house, surrounded by oilcloth. It's just that I'm afraid of rain, so everyone is in a hurry, and by the end of July, it's all in place. The next step is to contact the grain merchants who often trade, and go to hand over and pull away. Steward Zhou said carefully.

Hui Lan was relieved, "Uncle Zhou is a proper one, I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to you." Uncle Li went to his grandfather's house to give a gift, so you can stay here for a few more days. One is that I have to go back to the public mansion on the fifth day of junior high school, and there is no one in charge here; The second is that you still have to send the gifts from the uncle and the old uncle. ”

Of course, Steward Zhou responded, "Don't worry, girl, the matter of the festival will be handed over to the old slave." He and Steward Li turned out to be partners inside and outside the supervisor, and they had a tacit understanding. Knowing that the girl had returned home to worship, he had calculated the time and estimated that Steward Li would go to give gifts, so he rushed back to the city before the girl returned home.

"With Uncle Zhou and Uncle Li here, I still have something to worry about. Now it must not be as busy as in previous years, and you guys also pay attention to your body on weekdays. I'm just a little bit older, and you're the cornerstone of our Li family, but take care of yourself. "Hui Lan said sincerely.

Steward Zhou's eyes were red with emotion, they all grew up with the master. Watching the old man succeed in his studies and become his own son, Huilan also grew up with them. To put it mildly, the girls are no worse than their own children. There is no mother in the swaddling clothes again, and if you lose your father at such a young age, who doesn't feel a little more distressed. They are all subordinates, where can they not do their best to be errands and help take care of the girl.

"Girl, don't worry about the outside, follow Mrs. Gu with peace of mind. That's my aunt, and there's no one who doesn't hurt the girl. The girl and her maternal grandfather and uncle are all officials. The girl herself is also the township prince of His Majesty's entitlement, and she has a fortune every year, even in the public mansion, don't suffer herself. We also have a lot of money in our house, and the girl didn't come to the door to fight the autumn breeze. Which lady has a rich net worth of the girl, and the girl should straighten her waist and grow up happily. There are a few of us outside, and we will help the girl run the industry well. The girl is still young, and the spirit of the old lady in heaven only hopes for your peace and joy. Slaves can't see girls every day, you must take care of yourself! "Steward Zhou said the truth.

How to hear that she has become a little cabbage, Huilan snorted. I didn't dare to cry in front of my loyal servant, for fear that he would misunderstand again. "Don't worry, even though I'm small, I'm not stupid." There will be no self-suffering, no sadness. There are only a few of us left in our Li family, and we all have to take care of ourselves. Whether I'm in the mansion or you're outside, you have to do your own thing and take care of your body. When I grow up, our Li family will be better. ”

The two didn't hug and cry, and Steward Zhou withdrew with red eyes. Hui Lan let out a long breath and rubbed her face. Really, how do you like sensationalism! It's not really a little brat, what's crying. Let's grow together and work together, brother.
