After Yang Liu finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and cried loudly. Everyone also shed tears, missing their relatives who died in vain.

After a while, Alian wiped away her tears, stood up and pulled up Willow, "If we leave, what's the point of crying? We still have to be busy with spring planting, and the season waits for no one."

Yang Liu stood up and followed Alian into the yard. The other women also stood up and walked towards the yard. Everyone took hoes and farm tools and walked towards the fields.

Xiangxiu and the others stood for a while, then turned around and went into the house to pick up farm tools.

Sun Tongpan returned to Kyoto to hand in his errands, and went to visit Zhou's family the next day.

Uncle Liu informed Jixiang. After the two met and exchanged greetings, Jixiang invited Sun Tongpan to sit down in the living room.

When Li Yu came out of the inner courtyard, Sun Tongpan smiled and came forward to greet him. Li Yu smiled politely and asked him to sit down, then asked: "Master Sun, have all the women in Liangjiacun been settled?"

Sun Tongpan replied respectfully: "The arrangements have been made. I came here because I was entrusted by them to ask my wife's opinion."

Li Yu smiled and nodded: "Master Sun, please speak."

Sun Tongpan said slowly: "It's like this. There are still more than 400 acres of unowned land in Liangjia Village and more than 200 acres of sloping land. The official originally wanted to send it back to Shanyang County for resale. The woman named Alian I have asked an official to ask Mrs. Li on their behalf if she is willing to buy the remaining fields in the two villages. As long as you buy those fields, the village will be given to your family."

Li Yu nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll buy them all."

Seeing Li Yu's immediate agreement, Sun Tongpan said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Li. Please send someone and your subordinates back to the Yamen to process the deed."

"Okay." Li Yu looked at Ji Xiang and said, "You accompany Mr. Sun to the Yamen."

After Jixiang agreed, he followed Sun Tongpuan to the Yamen.

Li Yu thought that Liangjia Village was full of women, and it might be inconvenient to hire long-term workers. It would be easier to control them by buying a few houses and recruiting a few tenants to work in the village.

He got up and went to the side courtyard, found Zhaocai, and said: "Sun Tongpan came here just now... You call Ruyi, and you two go separately to buy some farm tools, buy some cattle, and go to Yaxing to buy some houses. People were sent to Liangjia Village to plant this season’s rice first, and then all the land was planted with corn and sweet potatoes.”

Zhaocai thought for a while and said: "Madam, most of the tooth shops in Kyoto sell teeth that don't know how to do farm work. I'd better go to Linxian or Hengshan Town to buy more suitable ones. Tang Yong from Wangjia'ao and other companies were there last time. He said that after his children got married, the land we shared was not enough for farming, so he asked Han San to find out where there was land available for sharecropping."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, you figure it out. When Jixiang comes back, ask him to go to the hot spring village to invite Uncle Zhou back, and let him manage the village in Liangjia Village."

Zhaocai agreed and left. After walking a few steps and thinking about it, he turned back and asked, "Madam, should I buy the seeds from a seed shop?"

Li Yu thought of the seeds in his space, "I'll buy the seeds. Just prepare your hands, farm tools, and cattle."

"Okay." Zhaocai agreed and left.

Li Yu went back to the house and entered the space, looked at the rice seeds and corn seeds, and calculated that it was more than enough to plant hundreds of acres of fields. After sending Ah Qing away, he sent the seeds to Liangjiacun.

After seeing the seeds, Li Yu came out of the space. Nanny Yang came in with an invitation and said to Li Yu: "Madam, General Shen's family invites you to a banquet."

Li Yu thought that Shen Zhong must be very busy these days. Does his family still have time to entertain guests?

"General Shen's house? Is it Mrs. Wu?"

Aunt Yang patted her head and said, "I blame me for not making it clear. She is Luo Shi, the wife of General Shen Yu Shen. I heard that Mrs. Luo sent her little girl back to get married."

Li Yu opened the post and looked at it. The date was the second day after Li Qing and the others left. "Okay, remember the time and remind me on that day."

"Yes." After Mammy Yang agreed, she thought for a moment and then said, "Madam, Xinghua has reached the age of being released. What are your plans?"

After hearing this, Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes! A year has passed in a flash, and Xinghua has reached the age of marriage. Has Xinghua mentioned to you what kind of person she wants to find?"

Aunt Yang smiled and glanced at Xinghua, who was doing needlework under the eaves of the verandah, "The former slaves asked her when they were talking together. She said she did not want to marry into someone else's family and was willing to stay at home. How many slaves are there? Thinking about the children in the family, only Tie Zhu is about the same age as her, and they are not married yet. What do you think about bringing them together as a couple?"

Tie Zhu is loyal and honest, while Xing Hua has a gentle personality, so they are a perfect match.

"They have to see eye-to-eye! I don't think it would be nice to be a bitter couple."

Aunt Yang smiled happily and said: "If you agree, I will go and check out the two of them. Also, Xinghua is going to get married, so you just need a girl in the house. I think Ling'er of Han San's family is pretty good. You Do you think it will work?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Han Ling is not bad either. Talk to Han San and see if they are willing to part with her."

Grandma Yang laughed and said, "Being by your side is the most relaxing thing. There is no way I would be reluctant to leave it."

Li Yu said: "When Han San returns to the city, ask him to come and ask."

Aunt Yang smiled and responded: "Yes, I will ask Xinghua first."

Li Yu looked at Nanny Yang walking towards Xinghua, and thought that Nanny Yang had helped her handle daily human relations in the past few years, which really saved her a lot of worry.

I also feel that she is much more lively than when she first came here. She is not like before, speaking and doing things in a rigid manner, like a prop without a soul.

An hour later, Jixiang returned home with the land deed and house deed, and handed the land deed and house deed to Li Yu, "Madam, the land price near Kyoto is much more expensive than Yunzhou. I spent five thousand taels of silver to buy that piece of land. Is it better? The price after Yamen’s discount.”

Li Yu nodded, "Yes! Let's buy back the hot spring village outside Dongcheng. It only has a dozen acres of land and we spent eight thousand taels. Ruyi and Zhaocai bought the people and farm tools. You go to the village outside Dongcheng to get it. Uncle Zhou brings it back."

Jixiang thought for a while and said, "Madam, Xiao Niyi and Maizi are also grown up. I think I should take them to Liangjia Village to learn from Uncle Zhou."

Little Loach and Maizi are now eleven or twelve years old. They have been learning Kung Fu from Ruyi and the others in the past few years. They have almost learned what they need to learn, but they are still a little behind on the skill. It is time to learn some other knowledge.

"That's okay, just send them to Liangjiacun together, and you talk to them. You go to Zhuangzi and bring some food to the old man."

"Hey! I'll pick up Uncle Zhou first." Jixiang stepped back and left.

After Mr. Zhou divided the house, he locked up his own place and moved the flower garden to the hot spring village. There were more and more varieties of flowers, and some people came to buy them. Mr. Zhou simply quit his shop in the flower and bird market and built a shed at the entrance of Zhuangzi to sell flowers. After a year, he had a surplus of dozens of taels.

Zhou Bo and the two of them were growing flowers and playing chess in Zhuangzi, and they were living a happy life.
