Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 684

After wandering around the stone field, Li Xin went to the granary to check again. Seeing that everything was in order and everyone was working with a balance between work and rest, he felt much more at ease.

Xing'er smiled and said: "I know that you pay your wages generously, and you will give out more money and things during the holidays. Seeing that you are back now, I am very motivated."

Both Li Xin and Guan Wen will give year-end bonuses to those who work, so that they can also have something to look forward to during the New Year.

Because she was pregnant, Li Xin didn't dare to go too long, so she took a rest, and after listening to the replies from the long-term workers, Li Xin and Xing'er went back.

But someone just happened to be waiting to greet her.

"Xiaobi?" Li Xin took two steps forward in surprise, took her hand, took a closer look at her appearance, and said with a smile, "Your face is much rounder, and you're living a good life, right?"

Xiao Bi smiled and squatted down slightly to Li Xin Fuli, saying: "Hi Ma'am, I heard that the second brother said that the master's family is back, so I'll come over to say hello to Madam."

"You are pregnant, why bother to work so hard." Li Xin said with a smile, "Second Gouzi and Third Gouzi are working smoothly?"

"They are all very grateful to the master, they are paid a lot of money, and they work hard."

Xiaobi helped Li Xin by the side, and Qingya and Guozi backed away automatically.

Speaking of which, Qingya and Guozi were also brought by Xiaobi when they were bought in. Xiaobi was regarded as their "master", and Qingya and Guozi inevitably showed some respect when they saw Xiaobi.

Li Xin watched from the side and nodded secretly.

Xiaobi was pregnant for the first time, and she reacted a lot. After talking with Li Xin for a while, she felt morning sick. After going out to rest for a while, she came back to apologize to Li Xin, saying goodbye and saying that she would not disturb her.

Li Xin didn't stop her, and asked her to pay attention to her body.

"Xiaobi knows how to be a man, her in-laws like her." Xing'er said with a smile: "This time she is pregnant, if she can get a boy in one fell swoop, her mother-in-law will probably offer her up like a Bodhisattva."

Li Xin smiled and said, "That's her luck too, Xiaobi is a person who knows how to live."

There are still four or five days before the New Year's Eve, and everyone is working hard to organize the results of a year's labor. The account books that Uncle Chen brought up made Li Xin nod repeatedly, and the account books that Xing'er gave her were even worse. It made Li Xin laugh from ear to ear.

As expected, as Xing'er said, Granny Hua's skill in planting flowers and vegetables in the greenhouse has indeed brought in a lot of income.

"This year, give everyone more year-end rewards, and reward everyone." Li Xin said to Guan Wen, "I thought, why don't I give half of the money and half of the things. It's not easy for them to work hard for a year, and they get money Maybe I can’t bear to spend it, but it’s Chinese New Year, so I’ll send some food and drink, it’s affordable.”

Guan Wenshen agreed: "Success, then I will leave it to my fourth brother to arrange. He just came back not long ago, and he has nothing to hand over, so he just has nothing to do."

Speaking of Guan Quan, Li Xin couldn't help but think of his relatives: "The fourth brother doesn't have any ideas?"

"He hasn't talked to me about it." Guan Wen sighed, "He's such a grown man. If he doesn't talk about it, I won't be able to ask too much. Besides, he's been helping me with my business outside. , I don't have much time to think about other issues when I look at him."

"Then after this year is over, it's time for you to give fourth brother a vacation."

Li Xin smiled, thought for a while and then asked: "Then... fourth brother and Yueying, is it still possible?"

Guan Wen paused for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know, this is walking with Li Li again... I've never heard of such a thing."

Guan Wen's eyes darkened as he spoke: "Speaking of Heli, I think of A-mei. Her matter is the most difficult one. No matter how the fourth brother is a man, he is not in a hurry. But A-mei... a woman's time is the most important thing." In those few years, I was afraid that I would delay her."

Guan Wen sighed: "Wei Xingzhi is a good person, but it's just a trick of good fortune."

Li Xin nodded and asked Guan Wen, "Ah Wen, can you blame Shusheng Wei?"

"Of course it's his fault." Guan Wen said: "My good girl married him, she didn't enjoy a single day, and took care of their mother and child all these days for nothing, and finally ended up like this, can you not blame him?"

Guan Wen snorted coldly angrily, then sighed again: "My sister doesn't blame him, what can I do?"

His tone was full of helplessness towards his sister's soft heart.

Li Xin smiled and said: "My sister is kind-hearted, God is watching, without a Wei Shusheng, I will definitely give her a better husband."

Li Xin's words were just casual, comforting Guan Wen, Guan Wen also knew what she meant, so naturally he didn't care too much, he just said: "There is no need for better ones, I just hope that there will be someone who will love her in the future, If you know the cold and the hot, live a good life with her. I will be satisfied."

In fact, Guan Wen also thought that Amei was infertile.

Two days before the New Year's Eve, Guan Wen and Guan Wu took people to the five lotus ponds, and Guan Wen said that they also asked Sun Hongyan to talk about things.Li Xin knew why after thinking about it.

Sun Hongyan is a person with a long-term vision. When Guan Wen and Li Xin first started digging lotus ponds to grow lotus roots and raise fish, they saw this opportunity to get rich. At that time, they discussed with Guan Wen that the whole village should follow Guan Wen. Do the job.It's just that at that time, due to various reasons, I couldn't get what I wanted.

Now that Guan Wen relied on the income from the lotus pond to prop up his initial family fortune, the people in the village were envious, and the old people who were rigid in the past gradually shut up. They just kept nagging about offending the lotus god. .Sun Hongyan saw this great opportunity in front of him but couldn't use it, and he was really anxious. When the elders in the village shook their heads and said no, Sun Hongyan said: "If you want to do it, follow the village chief. From now on, you will be like the Guan family. Eat well and drink spicy. If you don’t want to, just eat the vegetable roots in the field and live with the little land at home!”

Years ago, Sun Hongyan let go, and anyone who wanted to follow him and try a new way to make money came to him.Now Sun Hongyan has a list in his hand and has come to discuss cooperation with Guan Wen.

Li Xin no longer cares about Guan Wen's business affairs, even the affairs between the fields and the lotus pond.Anyway, Guan Wen did not hide anything from her from the beginning to the end. It is no exaggeration to say that the house deeds and land deeds of the family, the servants' deeds of selling themselves, the contracts of long-term workers, and even the profits and working capital of Guan Wen's shop were all covered by Li. Xin held it in his hand.

Guan Wen said: "Anyway, the money is in your hands, and you will not spend it recklessly. You are still very careful, and you will not be short of food and drink. I am more at ease than those in charge."

Li Xin naturally guarded the money with peace of mind and became her landlord's wife and merchant's wife.

At the same time, Guan Quan also brought back the purchased rice, flour, grain, oil, and cotton quilts.

Li Xin asked Uncle Chen to bring the list of long-term workers, and informed them that after work tonight, the master's house will pick up things, twenty catties of white rice, twenty catties of white flour, a barrel of oil and a new cotton quilt for this year, and every day People can also get half a tael of silver as this year's year-end dividends.

Everyone was very happy, eager to say that they would continue to work hard next year.

Li Xin went out for a cutscene, showed his face, and asked Guan Quan and Chen Bo to take care of everything.

In addition, Mr. Niu's family, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Hua who helped Guan Wen to take care of the crops received the same thing, more than two and a half taels of silver.This is considered a bonus for senior management.

Li Xin hid in the house, and was very happy to hear the bustle outside.

It's almost the Chinese New Year, and everyone would like to see happy people everywhere.Unlike in modern times, there is no Chinese New Year atmosphere at all.

A-mei sat beside Li Xin for a while, teasing Yoyo and talking to Li Ge for a while, but she also felt a little bored, listening to the noises outside, she wanted to go and see the excitement.Li Xin said quickly: "If you want to go out to watch the fun, then go."

A-mei smiled shyly and said, "I still won't go."

Although A-mei is shy, she grew up in the countryside, and she doesn't pay much attention to the defense of men and women. It is not uncommon for her to talk to long-term workers, and she doesn't shy away from anything.

But now she is concerned about her status as a woman who has been away from her, and she feels inferior and immoral even when she is in front of others.

Li Xin sighed, and was about to persuade her not to be too preoccupied, and to communicate with others as she should, but Guan Quan turned from the front room to the back room, and said to Li Xin a little excitedly: "Sister-in-law, can you help me?" The guests are coming."

"guest?"

Li Xin frowned and asked, "What guest?"

"It's Master Jiang." Guan Quan said excitedly: "Master Jiang who built the house for the eldest brother and sister-in-law back then!"

"Jiang Han?"

Li Xin stood up immediately, with a smile on his face: "He came alone? Hurry up and ask him to come in and sit down. Qingya, hurry up and make tea!"

Qingya responded and went to work, Guan Quan also replied to her: "Master Jiang came alone, I have already invited you in, it is in the main room in front."

Li Xin nodded quickly and said, "Hurry up and find someone to write a letter to your elder brother."

Guan Quan immediately went to work.

Li Xin smiled and said to A-mei: "I didn't expect Master Jiang to appear again, I thought he would never appear again in the future!"

A-mei was a little dazed, and she laughed when she heard Li Xin's busy words: "Sister-in-law, the guests are still ahead, let's..."

"That's right, we can't be rude, we have to greet Master Jiang."

Li Xin walked forward, Guo Zi followed behind with Yoyo in her arms, and Amei walked last.

The small door in the back room can directly lead to the main room. When Li Xin came out, he happened to see Jiang Han sitting on the side.

Compared with before, his appearance hasn't changed much, and he still has the same expressionless face.Presumably, Jiang Han didn't drink this time, and sat upright, quite majestic.

"Master Jiang."

Li Xin laughed, and Qing Ya just brought tea, Li Xin hurriedly asked Qing Ya to pour tea for Jiang Han, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Master Jiang, are you all right?"

I want to ask Li Xin why he was so excited to see Master Jiang... In fact, Li Xin was not excited either. He only mentioned Jiang Han two days ago, but he did not expect to meet him today.Moreover, when Guan Wen caught the thieves, it was Jiang Han who relied on Jiang Han. The reward from the court should have been given to Jiang Han, but Jiang Han disappeared without any reason, and the money was also lost. The money in Guan Wen's entrepreneurial funds But it is indispensable.

Both Guan Wen and Li Xin don't owe favors to others, and they have been keeping this matter in their hearts. Of course they are happy to see Jiang Han—they can finally repay Jiang Han's great favor.

Jiang Han stood up, arched his hands, but smiled for the first time, and said: "The Sun family owes me wages, but I haven't paid them yet. I'm here to ask for wages. By the way, let's see how the house I built is now. .”
