Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

It's not that she doesn't want to tell Xia Xiaoju, but that raising seedlings never happened in ancient times. If Xia Xiaoju knows and tells Aunt Ji, it's okay if it's done well. If it's not done well, then It was her fault again, she had better do it by herself.

"It's sunny today, and I feel refreshed, Miss Ziyin, do you feel that?" Xia Xiaoju looked at Xia Ziyin and asked.

"En." Xia Ziyin responded lightly, his eyes were only on Xia Beibei, watching the movement of the shovel in her hand, and there was an unknown light in his eyes.

She couldn't believe that Xia Beibei worked so hard to clear the snow out of the yard just to stretch her body, she must be doing something, and she didn't want them to know.

"Ziyin, Xiaoju, is your embroidery finished?" Xia Beibei asked.

"No, but I've already embroidered a few, and I'm sure I can sell them for a lot of money." Xia Xiaoju felt excited when she thought of her embroidery. Although it's not as good as Grandma Sang's, at least she did it herself. It was embroidered in one winter.

Moreover, her mother promised her that as long as she sells her embroidery, she will give her half of the silver as private money. No, she has been very active in embroidery last month.

"Sister Ziyin, let's continue to embroider, and let Jiuniang sweep the snow by herself."

"Yeah." Xia Ziyin responded and entered the door.

"Xiaoju, what do you think Jiu Niang is doing? Why does she have to blow the snow out?" In the room, Xia Ziyin was still working on her hands, but she was talking to Xia Xiaoju.

"Who knows, maybe there are treasures underground." Xia Xiaoju said jokingly.

Sister Jiuniang naturally has her intentions in doing this, what does she care about so much, concentrate on embroidering her own embroidery, and then sell it for a good price, which is the most important thing. .

"Does Jiuniang want to grow some vegetables and doesn't want to tell us?" Xia Ziyin asked tentatively, with a sour taste in her tone.

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoju raised her hand, blinked her misty eyes, and glanced at Xia Ziyin.

In fact, there was something weird hidden in her eyes, how could Miss Ziyin think so? Even if Sister Jiuniang wanted to grow something, wouldn't it be normal not to tell them?

Does Jiuniang sister have to share everything with them? Why.

This winter, she has never understood why Sister Jiuniang never went to Grandma Sang's room to make silk flowers and concentric knots. Now she finally knows, it was because of Sister Ziyin.

Sister Jiuniang is guarding against Sister Ziyin.

Although Xia Xiaoju is a country girl, she is not stupid, as long as Xia Ziyin says a word, she can hear the truth.

"I don't know, it doesn't matter what kind of vegetables she wants to grow, it's not for us anyway." Xia Xiaoju shrugged and said indifferently.

"You don't want to ask?" Xia Ziyin asked.

"I don't want to." Xia Xiaoju shook her head and said directly.

She let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the last time Ziyin asked her why sister Jiuniang was always hiding in her room, she kept an eye out and said that she didn't know. If Ziyin found out, she thought, would it be possible? Want to learn how to make silk flowers?

Should she talk to Sister Jiuniang?

It shouldn't be necessary, if Sister Jiuniang didn't know what to do, she wouldn't stop making silk flowers in front of Ziyin.

Hey, she remembered that Xia Ziyin was not like this before, why now...

Hearing Xia Xiaoju said she didn't want to, Xia Ziyin suppressed all the words in her heart, but she still couldn't help but look outside the door.

Sang Jinghong had already listened to Xia Beibei's words, and stopped going into the house to embroider, but started to boil water, so she could have that time to secretly watch what Xia Beibei was doing.

However, Xia Xiaoju had been staring at Xia Ziyin, but Xia Ziyin didn't notice it.

...

"Master, should we prepare to go back?" Wu Shisan asked softly beside Dongfang Yu.

There are many things in Manhuang that need to be done by the elder son. It is impossible to stay here forever. Now that the snow is almost ready, they should also pack their bags and prepare to go back to Manhuang.

"Order to go down, clean up, and leave tomorrow." Dongfang Yu ordered lightly.

It is true that he can no longer stay in Xuedu. If he stays with him again, he is afraid that some people will cause trouble in the wilderness.

"Yes, Lord." Wu Shisan immediately responded.

"Thirteen, is there anyone who asked you to prepare?" Dongfang Yu asked suddenly.

Wu Shisan was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered who Dongfang Yu was asking, "Master Hui, my subordinates have found two guards, a man and a woman, for Miss Nine. They all have experience working with Wu Qi."

"A man?" Dongfang Yu narrowed his dark eyes dangerously, and looked at Wu Shisan displeased.

What is Wu Shisan doing? How could he prepare a male guard? Didn't he tell him that only women are needed? Could it be deaf?

"Uh." Wu Shisan's whole body tightened, and he glanced at Dongfang Yu in fear. The expression on the face of the elder son was really terrifying. Isn't he just a male guard? What's the big deal? Do you need to be so strict about robbing your wife?

"Yes, there is a male guard and a female guard. Lord, this subordinate discussed it with Wu Qi. He thinks it is more convenient to have a man when doing business outside. Moreover, since he is a fortune-teller, then I won't live in Nine Miss's house, and I won't..."

Looking at Dongfang Yu's black eyes that were getting darker and more terrifying, Wu Shisan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he pursed his mouth and stopped talking.

I cursed in my heart, Wu Qi, you bastard, you killed me.

"Thirteen, it's snowing so hard these days, you haven't exercised for a long time, have you?" Dongfang Yu narrowed his dark eyes dangerously.

It's getting bolder and bolder. Do the guards under him dare to do anything against him?

"Master, this subordinate..."

"Tell me, what kind of person are you?" Dongfang Yu interrupted him and asked.

Perhaps Thirteen was right, to do business abroad, you still need a man, and it's not too much to arrange a man, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

What's more, when winter came, he would be able to take Belle to his side. At that time, who would dare to be by his side and play with Belle?

"Master Hui, they are two of Wu Qi's right-hand men. Like sister Wu Shiqiu, they are also brothers and sisters. They are currently in Xuedu." Wu Shisan replied immediately.

"En." Dongfang Yu nodded, "Go and call Wu Shiqiu and Wu Shiqing in."

"Yes, sir."

...

The snow had finally melted, and the whole snow city suddenly became lively. In Xiajia Village alone, the fields were full of reclamation people. Xia Beibei asked Xia Jinxiu and Aunt Ji to help them sell the land last year. All the villagers who gave her were called to their homes.

Of course, except for Er Gazi.

"Jiu Niang, what's the matter with you looking for us? Are you going to sell the land back to us?" A man raised his voice when he saw that many people had already arrived.

After he got the disaster relief money last year, he also wanted to buy the land back, but it cost a lot just to buy vegetables and food, not to mention that once the snow melted, he had to go to the town to buy some land. Seeds, and prepare some food.

The money in hand is just enough to spend.

In the past, when my family had food and vegetables, I thought that a few taels of silver could live on for several years. However, this family has no food and vegetables. It is really sad. The money in my hand seems to be blown away by a gust of wind. Yes, it cost several taels to buy anything casually.

He has no money to buy the land back.

"Jiu Niang, we don't have the money to buy land." Another woman said hastily.

Although the only remaining land in the family is just enough to grow food for the family, but his family has no extra money to buy land.

"Hey, I know what Huayin is like flowing water. Everything in the house is pointed at the few taels of silver, but it's incredible."

"Jiu Niang, what's the matter with you, just tell me quickly, everyone has other things to be busy with." Xia Jinxiu saw that everyone was discussing, so she hurriedly said to Xia Beibei.

"Uncles and aunts, in fact, it's not a big deal for Jiuniang to find you. It's just that I have a lot of land in my hand, and I can't handle it all at once. I just want to ask everyone to help me and give all my land to me. Go back and grow it yourself." Xia Beibei glanced at everyone and said calmly.

"What? Did I hear correctly?"

"We grow it ourselves, is there such a good thing?"

"God, Jiuniang, are you crazy? You must know that many lands may produce a lot of grain. If you sell it, you will have a lot of money."

When the villagers heard Xia Beibei's words, they immediately exploded.

Aunt Ji's expression turned pale immediately. She turned her head and wanted to say something to Xia Beibei, but before she could speak, she heard a man shout out.

"Jiu Niang, what request do you have, please tell me quickly."

Everyone is not a fool, there must be some kind of request, where there will be pies that fall for nothing in the sky, they are not easy to fool.

"Yes, there must be some requirements. If you want money, we don't have it."

"No, the relief money is enough for our family to eat and drink."

"I, Xia Jiuniang, will not make any excessive demands, but there is one thing. After the land in my hands is planted with grain, I, Xia Jiuniang, will get half of it." Xia Beibei continued.

"Half, that's too much, we worked so hard to farm the land, and in the end we got half of it for you, Jiu Niang, you are too...too snobby." A woman quit immediately when she heard her words up.

Why did they work so hard to cultivate the land, and in the end they gave Xia Beibei half of it, which was too much, and she didn't want to do it.

"Aunt Hua, there are so many of them. You know, this land belongs to me, Xia Jiuniang. Even if An Zaicai from the neighboring village rents out the land to the villagers, he will get a lot of land rent, right? I just want the land inside. Half of the grain produced is not cash, no matter how much or how little the field produces, it is half, is this too much?" Xia Beibei asked the woman who was unwilling just now with a smile.
