Chapter 288: Turning the Wheat
The two of them walked all the way, discussing what method to use to get this method.
Halfway through, they happened to walk the opposite road with Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang. Looking at the listlessness of the two of them, they should be tired.
It was still a little gloomy at this time, and the two of them had just woken up, so they didn't know what time it was.
Liu Feng tightened his eyes, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were notoriously lazy. It was a rare thing to see them so early.
Wang Ming walked over with a smile on his face and said politely, "Second old man early, are you coming out to go to the wheat field?" ”
At the mention of the wheat field, the faces of the two people invariably showed hatred. Mrs. Zhang strode forward and rushed up to fight with Wang Ming.
"Look at me today, I won't kill you two scourges, it's all you!"
Hearing this, Wang Ming was stunned. The two of them went to harvest the wheat with good intentions, and why did they suddenly blame, "You old woman, but you are confused." ”
As the words fell, his face ached. Mrs. Zhang was ruthless just now, and at this time he had already scratched a bloody mark on his face.
Liu Feng was taken aback, for fear that Mrs. Zhang would continue to do something, so he hurriedly stepped forward to separate them, "Aunt Zhang, we will help you harvest wheat for free, why are you beating a rake?" ”
"Huh, me!" Before she could speak, Mrs. Zhang spat on Liu Feng's face, "You guys are embarrassed to collect the wheat, if it weren't for the two of you who kept saying that you would come to help." ”
"Why am I waiting for you to go? If it weren't for waiting for you, how would my wheat have suffered? God, hurry up and thunder and kill these two shameless scholars! ”
Liu Feng and Wang Ming were stunned when they heard this, they were fine when they came to them last night, why did their kung fu change?
Zhang Laohan still stepped forward as a good person and said, "Eh, Liu Shusheng, you scholars are too unreliable. We think that you are scholars, so what you say is naturally going to be done. ”
"I never thought you were talking nonsense. That's it, it's also to blame our old couple for being blind. With that, Zhang Laohan pulled Mrs. Zhang and walked home.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Liu Feng and Wang Ming looked confused.
When Jiang Dige had just returned to the room to change his clothes, he happened to hear intermittent sounds outside. She pushed open the window and looked, and she really saw the drama.
"Tut-tut, the wicked have their own wicked grinding. Xiao Hei, look, isn't this retribution coming? ”
Xiao Hei nodded, and also agreed with Jiang Dige's statement. Right now, she still has to go to Steward Li, taking advantage of the light rain at this time, it is better to go early and return early.
In fact, today's wheat harvest is not the end, but the beginning. When the wheat is harvested, it is not left there, but it is to be threshed continuously.
So, there are still things to be said.
When I came to Steward Li's house, the steward and the steward's wife were not in a good mood. Mrs. Zhang is the sister of the housekeeper's wife, and their family's harvest is not good this year, so they are naturally a little bored.
When Steward Li saw Jiang Dige coming, a smile appeared on his face, "Lady Jiang is here, hurry up and sit down and rest." ”
Jiang Dige nodded, and asked directly without beating around the bush, "Steward Li, I just wanted to ask, do you still need my help in the future affairs of the Zhou family?" ”
"I know there's still some farm work to be done, so I wanted to tell you about it."
Hearing this, Steward Li waved his hand, "You don't have to go to this wheat shooting, Zhou Dalang is a capable person." Don't look at his lame legs, he can do this wheat beating alone. ”
"You've helped their families enough, so you don't have to worry about this wheat threshing business. It's just ............"
Saying that, Steward Li sighed again, "It's just that this matter of turning the wheat is a little difficult." ”
Jiang Dige nodded, "Steward Li, I haven't done farm work before, does this matter require a lot of manpower?" ”
"Exactly!" Steward Li was a little helpless, "In the past year, the men were doing the wheat turning thing, but this year, the two sons of Zhang Laohan's family were not at home and went out to find a living." ”
"There are a lot of people who go out like them, so this matter of turning wheat is a big problem."
Male?
Jiang Dige sneered in his heart, "Eh, it's a pity that Liu Shusheng and his classmates can't do coolies, otherwise they can help." ”
Hearing this, Steward Li's face was ugly, "Not all the storytellers have said it, but it's the scholars who are useless." ”
"You have also seen the two of them, where is the material for farm work. If it weren't for the two of them, how could this Zhang family's wheat be drenched in the rain! ”
Jiang Dige glanced at Steward Li and looked at the anger on his face, this time he should have changed his impression of Liu Feng a little.
Although there are some inappropriate things that the two people of the Zhang family do on weekdays, in the final analysis, Mrs. Zhang and the housekeeper are the same mother.
And their family has paid taxes this year, so they will have to make up for these shortfalls in the next few days. The housekeeper's wife feels sorry for her sister, but for Steward Li, he has to pay.
"Steward Li, today I see that everyone has harvested wheat and there is nothing left. You don't have to worry about this tax. Jiang Dige said with a smile.
Steward Li nodded, "That's true, I've also seen it in the past two days." The Zhou family has collected a lot this year, even if they pay this year's taxes, as long as they are careful about their calculations, this year will be better. ”
"Lady Jiang, you and Yan Shu were able to help this orphan and widow, it was simply a great meritorious thing."
Jiang Dige smiled and waved his hand, "Steward Li praised it, and Aunt Zhou also helped me before." This person is mutual, and if you don't know how to be grateful, it will make people feel cold. ”
"Well said, Mrs. Jiang is so right." Steward Li said, and a trace of sorrow appeared on his face again.
Jiang Dige knew that he was worried about turning the wheat, she thought for a while and stepped forward and said, "Steward Li, if you really can't do it, why don't you go and talk to the chief officer of the building." ”
"It's an important time for farming, and if you go and tell me, they'll nod their heads. Last time, I went to look for my husband and secretly took a second look. ”
"This city wall has been repaired, even if a few people come back, it won't delay the progress."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Steward Li's face, and the sorrow just now had turned into shock, "Lady Jiang, what you said is true?" ”
"If they come back, won't it really be delayed?"
"Steward Li, I'm afraid you're confused!" Jiang Dige's face was serious, "How important is this building the city wall, how dare I joke about this?" ”
After hearing this, Steward Li seemed to see hope, "Okay, good!" I'll go looking for Master Hu tomorrow, and I'll show this old face. (End of chapter)
