The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 349 Farm
Chaihu is a member of a family of four. They were bought and sent to this farm. When they learned that their family would be in charge of the farm from now on, they were very happy.

They were sold many times, and finally the whole family was able to buy a place, a place without any intrigue, so they cherished it very much.

Therefore, even though no one from the master's family had come, he never dared to be careless and kept everything on the farm in order.

The Liu family had probably never lived here before, as it was only for the servants to live in. The small courtyard on the farm had two entrances, front and back, and there was nothing furnished in it. Except for a few rooms where people lived, the rest was very empty.

After seeing it, Shi Liu also thought it was just right.

Thirty acres of paddy fields are adjacent to the grassy slopes, on which there are cows and sheep. To the west of the yard is a large vegetable garden. To the east are hills planted with all kinds of fruit trees. Below the hills are rows of stone houses with pigs raised inside and chickens and ducks in pens outside.

There is a large pond behind the yard, connected to a small river that winds its way to the paddy field.

Looking at all these things, Shi Liu couldn't help sighing, "All these rich people want to own a farm. Look at the prospects on this farm. They have everything they want and enjoy themselves so much."

She did grow watermelons in Erli Village, but like in Dazao Village, there were not many fruit trees. She didn't know if there were such large areas of fruit trees in the village in the capital. She only sent Jiang Bing to take over, and she hadn't gone to see it herself.

She thought that after returning from this trip, her next trip would be to the farm in the provincial capital.

It took quite some time to look around the manor inside and out. When Shi Liu returned to the main hall of the courtyard to drink a cup of tea, Chaihu's wife Mao came in hesitantly and said that dinner was ready. She asked her whether she wanted to serve the meal now.

Pomegranate looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker and realized that he was indeed hungry, so he nodded.

Soon, Mao's mother and daughter served the food.

Shi Liu had the habit of drinking a bowl of soup before meals. Fu Dong had specifically told her this when Mao came to ask her if she had any dietary preferences or taboos. Soup was served first, and Fu Dong scooped a bowl and handed it to Shi Liu.

Shi Liu took it and took a sip slowly. His eyes lit up. Mao's cooking skills were pretty good.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Shi Liu asked the mother and daughter of Mao to go downstairs to eat and there was no need to serve them here. Then he asked Fu Dong to sit down and eat with them.

When Fu Dong was out, he often sat at the same table with the girl. He was not shy about it. When the girl called him, he would sit down openly, pick up the dishes in front of him with the serving chopsticks, and not pick and choose, so as not to displease the girl. He was very sensible.

After dinner, Shi Liu strolled in the yard to digest the food. She watched Chaihu settle the people she brought with her today in an orderly manner, and then waved to Chaihu to come forward and talk.

"Tou Chai, tomorrow morning, take Yang Li and the others to clean up all the houses in this courtyard except the main hall, and then go outside to find a master who can build a clay stove and a kang. Ask your wife to take people to the surrounding villages to collect more chicken eggs and duck eggs."

After she gave these instructions, although Chaihu didn't understand what they were going to do, he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement.

After digesting the food, Shi Liu went into the newly decorated upper room. Fu Dong brought hot water. She washed up, changed her clothes, and then took the hand warmer as her bed to read a book before going to sleep.

The weather in February is still quite cold at night, not much better than in the cold winter.

Every year, more people catch colds during the late spring than in the cold winter, so it is most important to be careful.

Fu Dong knew that his daughter was afraid of heat in hot weather and cold in cold weather. He was afraid that she would not sleep comfortably in a new place, so he specially got a few more hot water bottles and placed them at the four corners of the bed to make the bedding extremely warm.

The pomegranate nestled inside, feeling so comfortable that I could only sigh.

After reading only two pages of the book, he yawned loudly, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

Fu Dong, who was sleeping on the small couch in the outer room, poked his head out again. Seeing that the girl was asleep, he threw off the quilt and got up from the bed. He came in quietly and blew out the light. Then he returned to the small couch and went to sleep peacefully.

The girl had no habit of getting up at night and usually slept until dawn. It was good for her as she could get a good night's sleep.

Fu Dong often thought that there was no better master than the girl.

When she returned to the farm during the Chinese New Year, her mother said that she was so lucky to be chosen by the girl and kept by her side at all times, and asked her to serve the girl wholeheartedly.

She knew how lucky she was. If it weren't for her good hearing, the steady and clever Nian Xia would have been more suitable to serve the girl closely.

Now that she thinks about it, she should thank God for giving her extraordinary hearing. Thinking this way, Fu Dong gently turned over and slowly closed her eyes.

But soon, she opened her eyes.

Listening carefully, he found that the girl had fallen asleep. Fudong bit his lip, got off the bed quietly, put on his coat, and left the room.

He walked quickly to the room where Hu Zhen and the others were resting. When he reached the door, Fu Dong raised his hand and knocked.

The door opened quickly, and Hu Zhen and the others had not yet gone to bed.

"Miss, do you have any instructions?" Hu Zhen asked hurriedly when he saw it was Fu Dong.

Fu Dong shook his head. "The girl has fallen asleep. Brother Hu, please stay alert tonight. There seems to be some movement outside the manor."

Hearing this, Hu Zhen's eyes narrowed. He knew that Fu Dong's hearing was extraordinary.

He immediately decided not to sleep tonight, and arranged shifts with Zuo Cheng and others, asking them to patrol in two teams.

In the woods north of Zhuangzi, several torches were flickering in the dark night.

"Have you found it?"

"Do you have any over there?"

"I didn't find it! That's weird, the person clearly ran this way!"

"They are injured and can't run far. Keep searching!"

"Sir, there is a village two miles ahead. Did they hide there?"

It was late at night and the sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the door woke Chaihu up. He turned over, got dressed, and went out.

Seeing Hu Zhen and others in the yard, he was also surprised. It was late at night and they were dressed properly. Could it be that they hadn't slept yet?
"Someone's knocking on the door, Guard Hu, are you going to open it?" he asked subconsciously.

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent.

Hu Zhen motioned him to open the door, and Chaihu strode towards the door, "Who is it?"

"We are government officials. This is just routine business. Open the door quickly!" someone said outside.

Chaihu was shocked. Why were there government officials here? What happened?
But he did not dare to delay and quickly opened the door. He looked up and saw that the group of people standing outside were not wearing official uniforms. He was puzzled.

"We are secretly arresting the wanted criminal. Have you seen anyone suspicious?"

It turned out to be a secret case?

No wonder he wasn't wearing a uniform.

Chaihu thought about this and shook his head, "Sir, I didn't see any suspicious people!"

The man in black saw that his face looked normal and he didn't seem to be lying, so he looked inside and raised his hand to dismiss the team.

Chaihu closed the door, turned around and went inside. When he saw Hu Zhen, he said, "I don't know what case has happened. These government officials are arresting the imperial criminals."

Hu Zhen also heard it clearly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. This was really unlike the style of people in the yamen. They had already knocked on the door. If they really had doubts, why didn't they just rush in and search it? Instead, they just left after hearing Chaihu say he had never seen him?

strangeness.
