Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 575 Autumn Harvest
Granny Hua is bold, saying that the wind is the rain, and she doesn't delay at all. When she arrives at Guan's house, she asks the contact to take her to see the stone field.

Xiao Bi came to help Li Xin unload her things, and also took Granny Hua's burden, with a slight smile on her face.

Granny Hua glanced at her, and Li Xin hurriedly introduced, "Grandma, this is Bi'er."

Xiao Bi hurriedly greeted Grandma Hua, "Hello, Grandma."

Granny Hua squinted her eyes and nodded, she seemed very satisfied, obviously she was interested in what Li Xin said about letting Xiaobi be her daughter.

While urging Li Xin to take her to the stone field, Granny Hua smiled and said to Li Xin: "This girl looks quite shy."

When Li Xin told Granny Hua about Xiaobi in Lijia Village, she actually thought of it suddenly, and she had no such plan earlier.But after thinking about it, this method is quite good. Both of them have no relatives and no reason. It is also a good thing to be a mother and daughter to support each other and rely on each other.

Granny Hua seemed to agree, but what about Xiaobi?

After looking around at the stone land, Grandma Hua was very satisfied, and said that the place is spacious, and it is good if you want to plant a large area, but it may cost a lot of money to build a shed, so I asked Li Xin if it was not worth it.

Of course Li Xin said no. After all, she also wanted to have a flower garden. It's fun to enjoy the flowers when she has nothing to do, isn't it?

Li Xin said with a smile: "Since mother-in-law is satisfied, she can live here. I will take care of the food and lodging, and give mother-in-law a salary of one tael of silver every month."

"A tael of silver?" Granny Hua was surprised, and quickly waved her hands and said, "This, this is too much...you take care of your food and lodging and still take you so much money..."

Li Xin said: "Old man Niu who manages the paddy field for me is also one tael of silver a month. Of course, my mother-in-law also treats everyone equally, otherwise, wouldn't I be treating each other equally?"

After Li Xin persuaded her a few words, Granny Hua felt relieved when she saw that she wasn't joking and probing, and replied with a smile, "Okay, then it's up to you."

Li Xin took Granny Hua to see a room, and arranged for her to sleep in the same room with Xiaobi, but Granny Hua had no objection.

After a while, Li Xin went to Xiaobi and told her about his agreement with Granny Hua.

"What do you think?" Li Xin asked her: "If you recognize a mother, you can count as having your mother's family to support you after you get married."

Xiaobi looked at Li Xin with dumbfounded eyes. After a while, she knelt down and cried to Li Xin and said, "Sister Xin, thank you..."

Li Xin was not used to it, so he hurriedly pulled her up: "What are you doing, don't kneel... You haven't told me about this, do you agree or disagree?"

Xiaobi nodded hurriedly: "I agree, sister Xin who agrees."

Li Xin smiled, nodded and said, "Then you should get acquainted with Granny Hua during this period of time."

There were still tears on Xiaobi's face, but she smiled brightly: "Yes, I know Sister Xin..."

Granny Hua stayed in Guan's house, and gradually got to know Xiaobi after getting along with her day and night. After a while, Li Xin made Xiaobi officially recognize Granny Hua as her mother. From then on, the two of them became like mother and daughter, and settled down in Guan's house with peace of mind. , Granny Hua helped Li Xin take care of the garden that was being built, while Xiaobi took care of the housework at home.

Guan Wu took the errand given by Li Xin and started to build the shed.

Guan Wu was responsible for the frame of the shed, but what to replace the plastic film with was a problem.Li Xin wanted to use coarse cloth at first, but he was afraid that the coarse cloth would not be very transparent, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

It was Xing'er who suggested from the side: "Why don't you buy that kind of rough woven coarse cloth and paste one or two layers of paper under the coarse cloth?" But then Xing'er denied it: "That won't work, how expensive is that paper... ..."

Li Xin, however, was concerned. After discussing with Granny Hua and estimating the price, he gritted his teeth and patted his legs and said, "That's it! If it's just pasting paper, I'm afraid it will be blown away in a strong wind. A layer of coarse cloth, covered with two layers of paper, can transmit light, and the ceiling will not be blown down by the wind."

Li Xin handed over the purchase of rough cloth and paper to Guan Wen, and even the matter of helping Li Erlang find a shop, Guan Wen single-handedly handled it.

Guan Wen also said with a smile: "Looking at how hard it is for me to be able to be leisurely and leisurely, you keep me busy."

Li Xin took his arm and said, "Isn't this just for the sake of our family getting over as much as possible? Not bad for these times."

Guan Wen smiled and scratched her nose, but he still tried his best to do what should be done.

In a blink of an eye, it was the golden autumn of August, and those with paddy fields were busy cutting and threshing millet, and the one-acre paddy field that the Guan family had put down at the old juncture also began to harvest.It's just that the output is much smaller than others.Xing'er whispered to Li Xin: "Sun Xique and her brother sold the two acres of land to me and Ah Wu. I heard that the yield is very good... hey."

Li Xin knew why Xing'er was sighing, those millets belonged to Sun Xique and her brother, and had nothing to do with them.

"It's okay, I can have my own field next year."

Xing'er smiled and nodded, "That's not true."

After a month of digging and clearing the [-]-acre lotus pond, Li Xin paid off the wages for the helpers. Thinking about it, there are six long-term workers in the family helping with the work. Add four more rounds?Anyway, the [-] acres of paddy fields to be plowed next year will also need people.

When he thought about it, he did it. Li Xin mentioned this matter to Guan Wen when he came back that night.

"The long-term workers don't live in our house. Let's pay higher wages. They can do anything else during the slack season. When they come to help during the busy season, we can pay more wages. What do you think?"

Guan Wen thought for a while, and said to Li Xin with some embarrassment: "Xin'er doesn't think our family has made a big move recently?"

Li Xin looked at him puzzled.

Guan Wen sighed and said, "Everyone in the village says that our family is very rich now, buying paddy fields and lotus ponds, and bringing home bundles of cloth and buying stacks of paper..."

Li Xin snorted lightly, and said, "You don't care whether people are envious or jealous. If other people's lives are good, wouldn't it be too much to speak sourly? If we have to consider what other people think, we can't make it through? Life is made by people, they can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour."

Although Guan Wen also knew this truth, seeing Li Xin's disdainful expression, he still couldn't help laughing: "Let's restrain ourselves a bit, otherwise people will say that our family is just a farmer, and we can buy servants even if we open a shop." gone."

Li Xin pursed her lips and said dejectedly: "Then it's time to sow seeds in spring, and I'm too busy, so I must hire someone."

"That's for sure." Guan Wen nodded and said, "The family doesn't have enough staff, so of course we need to hire someone to help."

Only then did Li Xin respond.

This year was another bumper harvest year, and a large number of big golden millet piled up, Li Xin was also very happy to see it, thinking about the situation of his family's bumper harvest in the coming year, he laughed foolishly.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Yang'er asked softly from the side.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Next year our family will be able to eat white rice from the millet grown by ourselves, are you happy?"

Yang'er narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Happy."

Xing'er hugged Xiao Geng'er and said with a smile: "The days are getting more and more prosperous, and there is a rush in these days."

After the one-acre paddy field at home was harvested, the heap was only more than 400 catties. Compared with the yield of eight or nine hundred catties per mu in other fields, more than 400 catties was really too little.

But it was home-grown rice anyway, so Guan Wen called his brothers and sisters to come back for a meal.

Li Xin has prepared a lot of meals. The family has been very busy recently, but she is living a fulfilling life. She is smiling and happy every day, and her appetite has improved a lot. She can eat one more bowl of rice every meal than before. Looking at The whole person is rounder.

Li Xin was in a good mood, Guan Wen was naturally happy, and cheerfully greeted his brothers and sisters to come back for dinner. First, they got together to chat with the old juncture, and then chat about their progress; second, they also came back to eat the first meal of new rice at home. It's a commemoration.

Except for Ahe who was far away in Pingsha County, Guan Quan and his wife, Axiu, Amei and Wei Xingzhi were all back.

When the whole family gathers together, the happiest thing is the old juncture, asking one by one how their grandchildren are doing, and the smile on their faces never stops.

After lunch, Guan Wen said to Li Xin: "My aunt left fifty catties of rice. I'll take it back to my aunt. Grandpa specifically ordered it."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Then I'll pack fifty catties of rice later when I'm free."

Guan Wen responded, and said again: "I chose two places for the shop to show Erlang, one is according to what you said, on the avenue past the corner of the wharf, the shop is not very big, and the rent is good, the key is the location after going out Wide, the road from the pier extends to both sides, and the shop is almost at the intersection."

Li Xin nodded, and Guan Wen said again: "The other location is farther away, but the shop is wider and the rent is more expensive. It used to be a restaurant."

Li Xin made a choice, and chose a place near the pier, and said to Guan Wen with a smile: "There are only two younger brothers and younger siblings, so it's useless to rent a big shop. A small shop has opened, and the stalls are placed outside. People who want to eat line up, and they can handle it easily.”

Guan Wen nodded and said, "Then when I go back, I will sign the deed with Ren Yazi and officially rent it. It will only be two days."

"Sure, I'll send someone to send a message to the second brother and let them start preparing right now."

The couple had a conversation, and Li Xin went out to talk with his sister-in-law and sister-in-law. The other men in the family were still drinking and chatting around the table. Hello, brother-in-law and brother-in-law.Although Feng Defa is not yet married to Axiu, he is also sitting at the table over there talking.

Amei teased Axiu and said, "Fifth Sister, I'm just waiting for you to get married."

Axiu smiled, blushing slightly: "It's still early."

"It's getting late, turn over the years and wait another year before you can get married." Myolie said with a smile, "The Feng family can't wait."

"Isn't it? The Feng family and the aunt's family have also made a marriage agreement. This is a closer relationship." Hu Yueying echoed, although what she said was true, her tone of voice was a bit uncomfortable.

The smile on Axiu's face faded, she ignored Hu Yueying, turned to Li Xin and asked what happened to Granny Hua and Xiaobi.

Li Xin explained it again, and Hu Yueying frowned and said, "One tael a month? Sister, are you providing for the elderly or what?"

Before Li Xin could answer, Hu Yueying said sourly: "I heard that sister-in-law bought [-] acres of land and [-] acres of lotus pond, sister-in-law is really rich and powerful."

Li Xin's complexion was not good either.
