The next day, Yingbao arranged for Chu Chu to help him open up the land and expand the vegetable garden.

The original vegetable patch was too small, my father and mother were too busy, and I couldn't turn over my own small one, so I had to ask for a helper.

Facts have proved that she didn't look away, this Chu Chu is very capable, not only working quickly but also very carefully.

She first cut down the weeds, then began to dig the ground, digging out the roots of the grass and bushes, shaking off the dirt and throwing it into a pile.

Chu Chu broke up the soil while digging, and also picked up all the small pebbles, making the ground soft and flat.

Sakura Po was very satisfied and immediately gave her a boiled egg.

Chu Chu took the egg, his eyes were red, and he thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, hurry up and eat, oh yes, you can pull out some vegetables to cook when you cook in the future, and I'll get you some salt when I get back."

It's not that Yingbao doesn't keep her at home for food and lodging, but this Chuchu's identity is special, and he can't take her home and let her eat at the same table with her father.

"Hmm." Chu Chu carefully peeled off the eggshell, and the egg whites stuck to the eggshell were not lost at all, and they were all picked off and eaten.

Sakura ran home and picked up a black kohlrabi, put some salt in a small clay bowl, and sent it to the hut.

Now the hut has been cleaned up, and the bedding is neatly folded.

Outside the thatched hut, Chu Chu also used stones to support a simple small stove, picked up a lot of dry firewood and grass roots and piled them next to it, and used jars to cook rice on this small stove on weekdays.

Of course, the fire folds and other things are given by Sakurabo.

On this day, Erni ran over, grabbed Yingbao and walked back, and said as she walked: "Sister Dani is looking for you to ask." ”

Of course, Sakura knew what Dani wanted to ask, and she had already figured out what to say.

When I came to the uncle's house, I saw Dani glaring at her angrily, "Yingbao, why did you keep that Chu family girl down?" ”

Sakura smiled and said, "I hired her to help me with the work." ”

Dani was speechless. "Why hire her? You don't know that she is the person who came from the Chu family. ”

Sakura blinked, "What's the replacement, Brother Dacheng and her don't have a marriage certificate." She is now in an employment relationship with our Jiang family, and nothing else. ”

Dani: ......

Indeed, his eldest brother and this woman do not have a marriage certificate, and this woman is working for the third uncle's Sakura Bao, but not for her own family.

Dani's face softened slightly, and she muttered, "Then you can't keep her either." ”

Sakura: "If I don't keep her, she won't go home again, and sleep in the haystack at night in case something happens?" ”

Dani was stunned and silent.

Zhou and her husband in the house looked at each other and sighed. "We might as well think through this kid Sakura, alas."

Jiang Dalang: "You and I were also angry for a while, and now that I think about it, that child from the Chu family is a girl in the end, we can't let her stay outside alone, our southern slope is deserted, if something happens, it will be really troublesome." ”

"It's not a bad idea from the Chu family, alas, let's toss it with Yingbao, as long as you don't implicate the great achievement." Zhou only felt exhausted.

Jiang Dalang reassured: "With Yingbao watching, no matter how you don't implicate Dacheng, don't worry." ”

…

In the next few days, Chu Chu worked hard and soon opened a large vegetable field.

After the vegetable field was leveled, Sakura took her to the wild bamboo forest to cut bamboo and drag it back, cut off the bamboo branches and left the bamboo poles to stick around the vegetable field.

When the bamboo fence was inserted, Sakura asked that the hut be enclosed as well.

After planting the bamboo fence and sprinkling vegetable seeds on the vegetable field, it was already May, and the Jiang family began to harvest the golden fungus.

Sakura's golden ears ripen a little earlier than Daddy's, and more than half of them have already been harvested by this time.

After Chu Chu watched carefully for a long time, he was able to master it well, and he was better than Yingbao.

So Sakura let her do it, and she began to grow the fungus.

It was a busy day for several days.

After a few days in the sun, the snow fungus dried out, and Sakura put them in a bucket and moved them into the storeroom of the house for storage.

At this time, the work assigned to Chu Chu by Sakura Bao has come to an end, and the next thing is the time to pay for it.

"Sister Chu Chu, here are three pieces of money, you count." Sakura pushed the three strings of copper coins over.

Chu Chu endured the excitement, wiped his hands on the old dress and wiped it, and then went to get the copper coin. "Really, really, give it all to me?"

"yes, it's your month's pay, let's get it." Sakura said with a smile.

This Sister Chu can be regarded as a great help to herself, she wanted to give more rewards, but after thinking about it, she still forgot it.

Chu Chu counted the copper coins one by one, and his heart was overjoyed.

She had grown so big, and she had never touched so many copper coins, and now she felt like she was dreaming.

Counting and counting was messy, Chu Chu didn't count anymore, but hugged the copper coin and began to shed tears.

This is what she earns, a lot of money that she earns by her own efforts.

"Sakura-bo, I, can I really take all this money with me?" Chu Chu still couldn't believe it: "Will your father and mother scold you?" ”

"This is the reward you deserve, why does my father and mother scold me?"

Ying Bao patted Chu Chu's shoulder and said earnestly: "If you continue to follow me in the future, I will pay you." ”

Chu Chu nodded vigorously: "I'll follow you!" ”

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Sakura, I... Can I go home first? ”

"Absolutely." Ying Bao nodded: "The summer harvest will be soon, and I will give you a month of agricultural leave." ”

Chu Chu jumped up happily, hugged Sakura Bao hard, and choked up, "Thank you Sakura." ”

Early the next morning, Chu Chu came out of the thatched hut with his small package on his back, closed the door, and walked out of the bamboo fence wall with brisk steps.

When I looked up, I saw a mule cart parked in front of me, and Sakura-chan, her two little brothers, and her mother, were sitting on the wheel and smiling at herself.

"Get in the car, let's take you back." Chun Niang said with a smile.

She can also see these days that this girl is really good.

Honest and hardworking, not afraid of losses, is a good boy.

Chu Chu pursed his lips, hummed lowly, and climbed into the mule cart.

Secretly wiping away her tears, Chu Chu raised a smile and spoke to Chunniang: "Auntie, thank you." ”

Chun Niang said angrily: "Silly boy, thank you, we are just going to the town, and I will send you home by the way." ”

"Hmm." Chu Chu nodded.

She knew that Aunt Xu was saying this on purpose, because Chushan Village and the town were not in the same direction.

This trip was driven by Sakurabo.

The mule listened to her, and did not need to whip it, and ran as fast as he could, not lazy at all.

The mule cart soon arrived at Chushan Village and stopped at the door of Chu Laoshi's house.

As soon as Chu Chu jumped out of the car, he saw his younger brother Chu Qing rushing over. "Sister! Sister! ”

Chu Qing threw herself into her sister's arms and burst into tears.

Chu Chu also cried, hugged his younger brother and asked this and that.

Sakura Po only glanced at it, and then whipped the mule cart away.

When I passed by a teenager, I couldn't help but stare at him for a moment.

Chu Yan?

It's really Chu Yan!

I saw that his slender body and cold eyebrows and eyes, although he still had a childish face, but that look and momentum could not be wrong.

The young man turned his head to meet her, and in just a moment, he turned his gaze back and ran towards Chu Chu quickly.

The mule cart passed him, farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared into the distance.
