The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 88 Planting Trees
Zhao Yunlan saw that the hilltops of her family were almost reclaimed, so she took some time to go to the county, and wanted to talk to the county magistrate about the requisitioned land in the county.

The county magistrate of Xihe County is called Chen Yuhong. He used to be a disciple of Mrs. Liu.

When Zhao Yunlan arrived at the county yamen, the yamen servants were the two who came to deliver the documents last time, Zhao Yunlan explained the purpose of coming, and the yamen servant took Zhao Yunlan in.

County magistrate Chen was still dealing with official business, so he put down his pen when he saw Zhao Yunlan come in.

"The woman Zhao Yunlan has met the county magistrate." Zhao Yunlan saluted.

County magistrate Chen: "Madam Zhao, why did you come to see me?"

Zhao Yunlan stood up straight and said, "I want to ask how to plan the hilltop in Lijia Village that the county expropriated. The peppers in Liu Zhifu's house are not enough to fill a hilltop. I wonder if I should plant some other farming."

County Magistrate Chen thought for a while: "The last time Village Chief Li came to handle the land deed, if I remember correctly, there is a hill next to it that belongs to your family, right?"

Zhao Yunlan replied: "Yes."

County magistrate Chen: "Then how to arrange the hilltop of Mrs. Zhao's house?"

Zhao Yunlan: "I kept some strong trees in the high places. I plan to plant some fruit trees and flower trees in the vacant places. I will plant peppers in the low-lying mountains, and sweet potatoes in other places."

County magistrate Chen nodded: "Miss Zhao, I would like to trouble you to plan that mountain together. I will send some people to assist you later. Just tell me what you need, and I will take care of it."

Zhao Yunlan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and said, "Magistrate Chen, this is a list I drew up in advance, please trouble Magistrate Chen."

A crow flew over the head of County Magistrate Chen: "You have already prepared your feelings, are you waiting for me?"

Zhao Yunlan said: "Hey, my hilltop has almost been rested, am I in a hurry! I'm afraid I might miss the county magistrate and magistrate's important event!"

County magistrate Chen nodded, "You go back first, I'll send someone to bring these things to you after you buy them all."

Zhao Yunlan: "Thank you County Magistrate Chen, then I will go back."

The list that Zhao Yunlan gave to County Magistrate Chen was some trees and agricultural tools. County Magistrate Chen was in charge of the county government’s land, and she had to settle her own land. Zhao Yunlan went to the flower and bird market after she left the county government office, thinking that she could take another look. Are there flowers and trees available for purchase.

When Zhao Yunlan returned to Lijia Village in the evening, Li Mingren could only see the trees on the carriage that Zhao Yunlan hired, and he couldn't see the heads clearly.

Li Mingren hurried forward: "My lady, you bought so many winter plums again."

Zhao Yunlan jumped out of the car: "Well, I happened to encounter so many winter plums today, so I bought them all."

Li Mingren helped to move Lamei down, and continued: "The house on the other side of the mountain is almost finished. Are you going to pick up Brother Deng and his family?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, then tomorrow you and the third brother can go together, and then go to the village chief to borrow a bullock cart to load things."

Li Mingren responded.

Early the next morning, Li Mingren and Li Mingli drove an ox cart to Xiaoqing Mountain alone.

Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingmei to the top of the mountain to tidy up the hut. When Zhao Yunlan asked people to build the hut, she thought it was cold and the Deng family was sick, so she called the master to build the kang. Those who don't sleep on the kang always put a brazier in the house in winter.Zhao Yunlan couldn't bear the smell of smoke from the brazier, so she thought about using a kang, and even changed her own bed into a kang.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingmei worked hard all afternoon, and after seeing that they were almost in order, they went home to cook.Now there is a whole way out here, and it is easier to walk.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the hill next to it, thinking that he would hire people to cultivate it in the afternoon.With this recruitment, the village was bustling again. After all, Zhao Yunlan was used to the work here, and Zhao Yunlan did not default on wages, and paid the money as soon as it was finished.Everyone wants to make more money before the year and have a prosperous year.

In the evening, Li Mingren and Li Mingli brought Deng Yong's family back.

Zhao Yunlan cooked a table of delicious dishes for Deng Yong's family. Considering the physical condition of Deng Yong's mother, Zhao Yunlan cooked the meals in the hut. Come down and eat happily.

Looking at the table full of dishes and the bowl of white rice in his hands, Zhang Heru sighed again.

After everyone finished their meal, Zhao Yunlan asked Deng Yong's family to rest early, and the rest of the arrangement will be discussed tomorrow. Deng Yong thanked Zhao Yunlan gratefully.

Zhao Yunlan took the whole family back to Li's house.

Deng Yong sat on the burning kang, hugged Da Zhuang, and held Zhang Heru's hand, unable to speak a word.

The Deng family slept so warmly on the first night of moving to a new house.

When he got up in the morning, Deng Yong was still woken up by the heat. He touched Xiaobao, and his head was covered with sweat. Zhang Heru came in from outside the house and said, "I went to see my mother. After sitting up and sitting for a while, my head was also sweated from sleeping. I will give it to my mother." After wiping her body, Mother said that she slept comfortably last night."

Deng Yong smiled: "Mother is used to it, it seems that we have come to the right place, and Mrs. Zhao is too thoughtful."

When Zhao Yunlan brought Li Mingli and Li Mingmei over after breakfast, Deng Yong was already inspecting the mountain.

"Boss, I've seen this mountainous land, and it's good to plant fruit trees."

Zhao Yunlan didn't realize the title of 'Employee' for a while, she was stunned for a moment before she said: "Well, I plan to plant the fruit trees in the higher places, and reserve the lower places for planting other things. I will plant those flowers and trees first this morning. , the fruit trees haven’t arrived yet, and it will take some time.”

Deng Yong nodded, looked at the mountain land that was still being reclaimed, and asked, "Master, does this piece of land also belong to the master?"

Zhao Yunlan shook her head: "This belongs to the county government, but I will be in charge of it. Let's wait for the magistrate Chen to deliver the things."

It was only then that Deng Yong realized that Zhao Yunlan had such a great ability to help the county magistrate.

Zhao Yunlan followed Deng Yong with Li Mingmei and Li Mingli and planted all the flowers and trees before going back.

Now that the soap at home is in stock, Zhao Yunlan is not worried that shopkeeper Wu will not be able to get the goods to sell.Zhao Yunlan concentrated on doing the work on the mountain.

A few days later, shopkeeper Wu sent someone to deliver several carts of fruit trees.Zhao Yunlan asked people to pull the tree directly to the mountain, and now the road has been widened. When the villagers cleared another piece of mountain land, they cleared many rocks, so Zhao Yunlan asked them to continue to widen the road. Now it is not a problem for the bullock cart to go up.

Deng Yong was very excited when he looked at the fruit trees brought in by cart after cart.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the trees, there were peach trees, pear trees, cherry trees, and many sweet-scented osmanthus and plum trees.Zhao Yunlan swallowed her saliva imagining the flowers all over the mountains and fields in spring and the delicious and juicy fruits in summer.
