A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 223 Some things should be put on the agenda

   "I'm wearing it!" Xu Zhengyong was flustered when he put on his clothes.

   One scolding him is dangerous enough, two scolding him together, if he doesn't hurry up, his father will come over with a whip.

  Xu Zhengyong looked at Wei Ruo happily after putting on his clothes and said, "Sister Ruoer, long time no see, why have you become shorter!"

  Hearing this, Wei Ruo wanted to jump up and give Xu Zhengyong a big shudder on the forehead.

   "It's not that I've become shorter, it's that you've grown too fast!" Wei Ruo said unhappily.

  In the past year, Wei Ruo actually grew taller, which is a normal growth at this time.

   It's just that her height is too much lower than Xu Zhengyong's. Xu Zhengyong is the age at which a man grows tall, and he has been honing in the military camp for more than half a year, practicing every day, and he has grown very fast.

   Originally, he was only half a head taller than Wei Ruo, but now he is more than a head taller, and Wei Ruo can only reach his shoulders.

  Wei Ruo's figure is not considered short among women, but Xu Zhengyong really grew too fast and too tall.

  Xu Zhengyong scratched his head: "It seems to be right."

   As he said that, he looked at Xiumei: "Junior Sister, look at me, I've grown so tall, isn't that how you call Senior Brother?"

  Xiumei retorted angrily: "What's the use of being tall? You don't have a brain, and you wear so little in the cold weather. When you are frozen, you need to use more medicines no matter how tall you are, and it costs money!"

   "Junior Sister is wrong. I am useless now. I am very strong now. I can knock out two of those short Japanese pirates with my fist!" Xu Zhengyong gestured with his fist.

   "Where did the Japanese pirates come to fight you? I've heard about it. Recently, the Japanese pirates have been very quiet and haven't come to make trouble." Xiumei retorted.

   "Those little bastards, if it weren't for our poor shipbuilding technology, I would fight into the old nest of that group of short winter melons! I will take away their winter melon nests, so that they will never have a chance to attack my dynasty!"

  Xu Zhengyong was filled with righteous indignation when he mentioned the Japanese pirates.

  The nanny who heard the voice coming out of the house said to Xu Zhengyong: "It's cold outside, why don't you know how to let the lady come in?"

  Xu Zhengyong hurriedly followed suit: "Sister Ruoer, go into the house quickly, if you freeze to death, my mother will use a knife to chop me up as firewood!"

  Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Nurse, it hasn't been so cold these two days, so let me do some activities outside. It's boring to stay indoors all day."

   "Okay, then I'll move chairs for Miss." The nanny immediately went back to the house to move tables and chairs for Wei Ruo.

  Xu Zhengyong said with a smile: "Sister Ruoer's words are more effective. I can't say a hundred sentences as well as you can say one sentence."

  Wei Ruodao: "If you don't be so naughty, then what you say can be more believable."

  Xu Zhengyong scratched his head with a smile.

  Xiumei muttered to the side: "Xu Zhengyong, don't you have such virtues in the army? Then I'm afraid your subordinates won't accept you!"

"Then don't worry, I still have great prestige in the hearts of my brothers. I am in this position not only because of the crossbow given by my sister Ruo'er, but also because of my own hard work and wisdom. The brothers under his hands are obvious to all."

  Xiumei smiled and said, "I believe the rest of what you said, but I don't really believe in this wisdom."

   "I think you just don't want to admit that your senior brother is better than you!" Xu Zhengyong said unconvinced.

   "Are you better than me? Let me tell you. I'm a senior sister and you are a junior. Don't confuse right and wrong." Xiumei retorted.

When the topic got to this point, both Wei Ruo and the nanny showed clear expressions, and the two of them didn't need to listen to the conversation behind them. Can't stop.

  Wei Ruo drank tea and chatted with the nanny leisurely at the side.

   "Nurse, after the new year, you have to help me pay attention to others, you know what I'm thinking." Wei Ruo said.

  She knew that once the year was over, some things would have to be on the agenda.

  Her plan has been mentioned with the nanny before, but the nanny has not been in favor of it.

  Nurse always supports her unconditionally when she does other things, but on this matter, nanny has always been hesitant.

  Nurse said: "Miss, don't be so anxious about this matter, it won't matter two years later, maybe Xiaoyong can really make a career by then."

   "I know, but it's always right for us to plan early, and we can't let ourselves be too passive."

  Nurse reluctantly agreed: "I know, I will pay attention to this matter."

  Xu Zhengyong, who was arguing happily with Xiumei, suddenly came over and said: "Sister Ruoer, look at Meimei is so fierce, no one will want her in the future, why don't you promise her to me as a wife!"

  Hearing that Wei Ruo hadn't answered, Xiumei's fist hit her first: "Xu Zhengyong! You're courting death!"

  Xu Zhengyong smiled and said: "Why are you looking for death? Didn't we worship heaven and earth when we were young?"

   "Don't talk nonsense! It's a play! You're so brave to say it!" Xiumei was so angry that she wanted to sew Xu Zhengyong's mouth shut.

  Wei Ruo and the nanny turned their heads in a tacit understanding and continued to chat about them.

  ###

  In March in Yangchun, the temperature rises and the flowers bloom in spring. Farmers are getting busy.

  In Xiaoyang Mountain in Xingshan County, Zhuangzi still grows sweet potatoes this year. As for the management of Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo has handed it over to Agui and Xiaoba.

  After the promotion of selling sweet potatoes last year, many mountainous areas in Xingshan County have also planted sweet potatoes.

   And Wei Ruo is not stingy, telling everyone that sweet potatoes can be planted in a large area by cultivating sweet potato vines and then cutting them. Therefore, those who want to grow sweet potatoes only need to buy some sweet potatoes as seed bulbs for seedling cultivation.

  The medicine field managed together with Xie Yingying, because of the long cycle, there is not much profit yet.

  The servants of the Xie family in Xingshan County still take good care of the management, and when the summer comes, they have the opportunity to harvest some.

  If harvested, the benefits should be very good, because medicinal materials are in short supply now.

  Here in Fucheng, the long-term workers in Wei Ruozhuang's village began to work from dawn to dusk.

   Plowing, seedling raising, irrigation, weeding, a lot of work is waiting for them to do.

  The land where wheat is grown also needs to be managed. The wheat is already green, and it makes people happy to see it.

  The long-term workers are very motivated. The boss treats them well, makes them eat well, clothe them warmly and live comfortably, but anyone who is a little grateful also knows to work hard to repay the boss.

  Even those who are not grateful should have a sense of crisis. There are many people out there who want to work in their boss’s village. They have to work hard to keep their jobs.
