Chapter 89
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.This day Xu Ruqing accompanied Su Yi'an to study for a while in the morning, and then took a carriage to the field outside the city in the afternoon.
She wore a warm green narrow-sleeved gauze skirt today. The style is simple and elegant, yet bright and delicate.The hair is simply tied in a small bun on the back of the head, fixed with a silver hairpin, and the rest of the hair is loosely scattered on the shoulders. Thousands of black strands flow down vertically, like a waterfall or a fine silk.
"Ma'am, you are here."
Seeing Wang Jiawei approaching, Xu Ruqing nodded: "Well, let me see how things are going here."
Wang Jiawei introduced the situation in the field to Xu Ruqing while walking. He was smiling and walked with ease. "The progress here is very impressive, it can be called extremely fast. Ma'am, you see, there were still yellow and hard stones in this place a few days ago, but it has been improved in just a few days. The soil has become much softer, and Dark and bright."
Xu Ruqing squatted down, squeezed a handful of soil and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and then agreed: "Well, it has indeed improved."
Being affirmed, Wang Jiawei was also very happy: "I will supervise everything here as usual, Madam, don't worry."
"You have more experience than me in this area, so I can rest assured that I will entrust it to you. In the future, I will use Brother Wang a lot, and Brother Wang will take care of it tirelessly." Xu Ruqing said with a smile.
"Hey, I'm just running back and forth. Madam, if you have any orders, just say it. Wang will definitely go all out!" Wang Jiawei is very grateful to Xu Ruqing, she not only saved his family of three, but also If Xu Ruqing arranged for him to do something, even if Xu Ruqing asked him to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of fire, he would still be willing.
But having said that, he had never seen anything so amazing since he was a farmer.He couldn't help but wonder what the potion in Xu Ruqing's pouch was made of.
Xu Ruqing listened to Wang Jiawei's word-for-word introduction while looking around with her eyes. After just a short look, she knew that after the past few days of cultivation, the soil quality in the field had been greatly improved.It seems that the spiritual spring water in the space has indeed played a big role.
She also brought spirit spring water today. Like last time, Xu Ruqing came to the big well again and poured spirit spring water into the well to mix with the well water.The villagers imitated Xu Ruqing's method and opened a canal in front of each piece of land, which made it easier for her to divert water to each piece of land.
After repeating this operation several times, I think the soil quality will be almost improved by then, and they should be able to sow the first batch of seeds before the end of the year.Xu Ruqing thought so.
"Miss Xu, you're here!" Many villagers working in the fields spotted Xu Ruqing walking on the ridge, and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Well, I'll come over and take a look around. By the way, I'll ask everyone what's missing, so I can make up for it in time."
Xu Laoqi picked up the hoe in his hand, came to the edge and sat down to rest for a while.Hearing what Xu Ruqing said, he waved his hands: "No shortage, no shortage, Mrs. Xu, you have given enough."
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Xu, the extra salary you give includes three meals a day, and there is meat for each of the three meals. For us, this treatment is already very extravagant. We are not greedy." Zhou Qiangzi also echoed.
Seeing this, the other villagers also echoed. Some of them were flattering, but it was obvious that most of them were telling the truth.
It is true that the folk customs in the countryside are simple and honest, but there are also some greedy people.
I only heard Aunt Wu straighten her stooped back, and her eyes were bright: "This is true, but well, since Mrs. Xu has already mentioned it, my Aunt Wu has a suggestion."
Xu Ruqing smiled slightly when she heard the words, and looked at Aunt Wu: "If you have any good suggestions, just say it, Aunt Wu."
Aunt Wu touched her nose resentfully, and said with a sneer: "Actually, it's nothing, that's right, several pairs of my shoes have been worn out after working in the field these days, and the few decent clothes left are all torn. ...I just thought to myself, if Mrs. Xu can give us some subsidies for dressing, that would be great."
Xu Ruqing couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this: "This..."
It's not that she can't afford the subsidy money, but that she knows that Aunt Wu is obviously cheating herself, and she feels that she has a lot of money and it doesn't take much effort to kill her stupidly.She doesn't want to be fooled by others as a fool.
Before the smile on Aunt Wu's face lingered for a while, Widow Li on the side sarcastically said: "Wu, don't you come out and embarrass us in Dajing Village? If it weren't for Mrs. Xu, you Can you have the opportunity to earn so much money? How can you be ashamed?!"
Other villagers also expressed their opinions one after another: "That's right, this request is too much! We just agreed to help others cultivate the land. You mentioned this suggestion. Those who don't know think that Mrs. Xu owes you a lot of favor!"
"It's not enough to treat you with good food and drink, and you also have to arrange your basic necessities? Aunt Wu, you are inhumane!"
"..."
Aunt Wu was so old, she was reprimanded face to face by so many villagers, she was naturally very sorry, and she was too ashamed to lift her head.
Seeing that her face was red and white for a while, considering her old face, she had no choice but to raise her head and continue to argue: "I, I am not thinking about the big guys! Besides, what I said is also true. Turn over the ground, my embroidered shoes have worn out several pairs, so you don’t have to ask for money to buy embroidered shoes?”
Xu Laoqi couldn't stand it anymore: "If you think farming is troublesome, then you can go home and stay. No one will force you to take this wage."
"That's right, you don't mean to make things difficult for the big guys! If you ruin the image of our village in Mrs. Xu's heart because of you alone, Mrs. Xu will not want us to help with farming, we will be forgiven." I can't miss you!" Li Cuihua glared at Aunt Wu angrily.
"Miss Xu, don't listen to the nonsense of Wu, it's unavoidable to wear out a few pairs of shoes after working in the field. How can there be any reason to take advantage of others?!"
Before Xu Ruqing listened to Aunt Wu's proposal, she would definitely not agree to it, but now seeing so many people defending herself, and Xu Ruqing saw the brilliance of human nature from them, she suddenly felt that Aunt Wu's proposal should be carefully considered.
Her eyes looked at the villagers in the field without any trace.Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, but they were still wearing gray-black cloth clothes with holes in them. The wind blew through the thin cloth on their bodies, gnawing at every inch of their skin unscrupulously.
It is conceivable how sad and difficult it is for these people who struggle to live and farm in the cold wind.
