Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1169
Mammy Yu and the others are face-saving and vain, but they are not stupid. After all, they came from the Palace of the General Protecting the Country in Kyoto. Nanny Yu wanted to betray her master, so she was ecstatic, and she confessed everything like a bamboo tube dumping beans, and regarded Nanny Yu as a confidant.

The boat lady couldn't stay, so Qingli quietly solved it. This maid found a mistake in Nanny Yu and sent it to the magistrate's yamen. Someone warned me, I heard that the merchant almost peed his pants in fear at that time, and finally honestly donated 3 taels of medicinal materials to the Wounded Soldiers Fund.

After the meal, Mammy Yu tidied things up, and Qingli asked Mai Dong to stay and watch the yard. She took Mammy Yu and Mai Ya, who liked to watch the excitement, in a carriage and drove all the way to Zhuangzi in the countryside of Pingyang.

The sun is high and the heat is strong.In the corner of the carriage, there was an ice basin, and Malt was fanning the air with a fan, making the entire carriage cool.The windows and doors were closed, and the dim oil lamp was lit. Qingli leaned against the wall of the car, drowsy.

After about an hour or so, Mai Ya whispered, "Miss, you've arrived at Zhuangzi."

The carriage was parked on a relatively spacious dirt road in the field, surrounded by one or two small sheds built by tenants, inside which were piled up hay, and when they were tired from harvesting, they went to take a nap in the shed, the fields were full of people, Qingli could only watch The figures of the tenants bent over and moved.

Women from some families came to deliver tea and steamed buns. The children kept running on the road. When they saw a carriage approaching, they all rushed here. In the box, the children automatically and consciously stand in a row, waiting for the malt to deliver candies.

"Thank you, Sister Malt!"

The kids who got the candies laughed and laughed, and some of the kids bowed to Mai Ya, and Mammy Yu curled her lips and said to Qingli, "Miss, look at Mai Ya, she is a girl who can buy people's hearts!"

The sky is blue and white clouds, the fields are golden yellow as far as the eye can see, the air smells of rice, and the tenants all have smiles on their faces. The smiles come from the heart. The harvest in Beidi this year is not good. Grain seeds, still had a bumper harvest.

In the fields, there are occasional dogs running back and forth, occasionally barking a few times.On the side of the rice field, there is a flat drying field. After Qingli took over the village, he sent people to renovate it, and the place is big enough.There are several houses next to the grain drying field, which are the places where the tenants take turns to stay on duty at night. There are still a lot of linoleum cloth in reserve to prevent the rain from getting wet.

At this time, there was no thresher, and it was the most primitive manual work.Whoever grows the Chinese food on the plate has to work hard for every grain, and the hard work of the farmers is more than just farming and harvesting.Just threshing requires a lot of effort, and rolling and beating are more common methods.

At this time, the harvest is not high, and the manual threshing can barely keep up. Generally, there are many people in the family, so they all work together.Agile hands and feet rush to harvest in the field, and strong adult men are responsible for carrying the burden. The half-grown children in the family leave one or two people to thresh the rice in time when it is fresh and easy to thresh.The rest of the work is relatively easy, and is given to unmarried women to do it. After the rice is taken off, they are gathered together, and the excess rice stalks are raised with a bamboo grate, and then dried in batches.

During the harvest season, the little ones in the family have no time to spare. They help pick up the rice and wheat that the adults have missed in the fields, and also prevent the chickens, ducks and other goods from eating the millet. They are busy with the autumn harvest in full swing, until the sun sets and the sky is completely dark before they can call it a day.

Qingli walked around the field with Nanny Yu and Mai Ya. The tenants were busy harvesting, but the three of them passed by without being noticed. Wearing a white cloth towel, occasionally sweat drips and drips, and they can only raise their hands to wipe it off.

The autumn harvest in her own farm attracted many caring people, Qingli found that many people looked around in the fields with awkward faces, some people were wearing silk and satin clothes, they were either masters of wealthy families or housekeepers.The production in the Northland has been greatly reduced, and his own village is enjoying a bumper harvest. It is impossible not to attract people's prying eyes.

"Nurse Yu, go and see what these people are here for."

Qingli found a shed to rest her feet, Maiya put a bamboo mat on it, and Qingli sat on it.There was earth on both sides, and there was no shelter around. It was noon, and the sun was scorching like fire. She just stood there for a short while, and her cheeks were tanned red.

"Yes, ma'am."

Mammy Yu is more on the defensive. The servants in the family can have nails mixed in. She is very cautious about everything now, she is afraid that there will be troubles caused by red eyes. The weather is dry and things are dry. If you set a fire, This year's harvest is considered useless.

"Miss, please drink some herbal tea."

Malt beckoned the coachman to lift the teapot from the carriage, and he would be able to roast people this day. Thanks to finding a shed, her lady was not delicate, she was almost fainted from the heat.

"Drink some too, and ask some cooks on the village to cook a few tables for the tenants to nourish themselves."

During the busy season, the whole family goes out to harvest. When it gets dark and goes back, they are so tired that they just want to fall down, hungry, and have nothing to eat, so many families make preparations before the busy season. The dry and dry steamed buns that are easy to put away, together with chopped pickles, can make up for a meal.Get up before dawn in the morning, eat such a meal again, and continue harvesting.

They are all working for their own family, and Qingli can't bear to treat them badly. In order for the tenants to concentrate on their work, they must ensure nutrition and have no worries about food and clothing, so that they can devote themselves to it.

The pond on Zhuangzi raises fish, and there are large quantities of fish produced in the space. Our own farm is nearby, and eating meat is also very simple. There are fish and meat. There is fine white flour in the grain depot of Zhuangzi, and we make white flour steamed buns for the tenants. eat.

"Miss, this servant knows that the farmers are tired enough."

Malt didn't know the hard work of farmers before. She always felt that it was very easy to rest for half a year after being busy for half a year. It was more comfortable than many industries. Now that she knew about it, she didn't think so. It frightened her, but now she empathizes with them and understands their feelings very well.

Mammy Yu saw that the eyes of these people were a little scheming, and their eyes were gleaming. She was very upset, and questioned them one by one. After the questions were clear, she went back to the shed and reported, "Miss, the old slave is going over here. asked."

"Well, are these people here to visit?"

Qingli casually drank a cup of tea and told a bad joke.

"of course not."
