Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 457: Marriage Proposal (1)
When Guo Shangshu heard the report from the subordinates, he suddenly regained his spirit: "Prepare for an ambush along the way, and you must kill Cheng Xiaohua. Remember to do it in a concealed manner, and don't leave any traces." As long as Cheng Xiaohua dies, the Liao family will Your business will increase, and your money will also increase.

It is not easy to kill a mere village girl.The road is not easy to walk now, and if there is something on the road, it is normal.

Besides, as long as I do it in a more concealed manner, even if there is the young master, so what?The emperor can't just blame himself without evidence.

"It's my lord, this subordinate will go down and prepare."

It seems that this news can still be passed on to Mr. Liao. When the time comes, let him also send out a group of people. The two of them will send out at the same time, and it will be difficult for Cheng Xiaohua to fly without wings.

Chengjiakeng.

It's the fifth day of the new year, isn't Xiao Hua coming back?No letter came back either.This year is colder than previous years, with snow falling from time to time, and the north blowing wildly.

I'm really afraid that if the water chestnuts are frozen, what will I use to make swallow pills and the like.There are still many things that are frozen, what can I do.

Those chickens and ducks become thinner the more they are raised in winter. If this continues, they will lose a lot of money.

Cheng Wenqiang and Wang Changgui, remember to turn around.On the other side of the orchard, I don't know if those fruit trees can survive this winter.

"Village chief, I don't think we can wait for Xiao Hua to come back. If we don't do something about this fruit tree, I'm afraid it will freeze to death." Wang Changgui frowned anxiously.

How many years, there has not been such a cold weather.Wang Changgui didn't know about other places, but Chengjiakeng didn't experience any disasters in the past year, such an emergency.

Those chickens and ducks are really getting thinner the more they are raised. If this continues, they can only be slaughtered and eaten first.But it costs a lot of money. I originally thought that after the Chinese New Year, all the ducks will be sold, and some young ones will be hatched to raise them.

But who would have thought that the colder the past few days, the thinner the chickens and ducks, the more I felt sorry for them.My daughter-in-law, every time she goes to feed her, she complains when she comes back.

"But what can we do? I don't know exactly what to do." Cheng Wenqiang was also anxious.If you have a way, you can grow something by yourself in winter from previous years.

"Why don't we go to discuss it with them." Ah Qing is the one who has been with Xiaohua the longest, and Xiaohua will instruct him on many things, but he and Xiaohua went to the capital again, hey...

"Alright, maybe go to Xiaohua's house and ask, they can give us a solution. If we can't survive this winter, we don't know how much we will lose in the coming year." Cheng Wenqiang sighed and had to agree.

Xiaohua's house.

"Village Chief, I don't really understand what you're talking about. I'm a woman, so I'm not familiar with it." A Lan said to Cheng Wenqiang apologetically.

Although it is true that I am close to Xiaohua, I am mainly in charge of internal affairs, and I don't understand these outside matters at all.If they come to ask themselves now, it is useless to ask.

Cheng Wenqiang and Wang Changgui looked at each other and sighed inwardly.How can this be done!

"Village Chief, I think you can ask Uncle Ma, maybe Uncle Ma will know, he is older and has more knowledge than us." Ah Lv noticed.

I used to hear from Uncle Ma that he used to be a farmer, but unfortunately he is getting older now.I don't have much strength, can't do anything like that.Maybe ask Uncle Ma about this, he will know.

"That's right, let's ask. In this way, Ah Lu, go and invite your wife and aunt out, and we can discuss it together. There are always many people and we can find a way."

Cheng Wenqiang is in a hurry now, and he has forgotten to ask those women to discuss the outcome.They haven't worked much in recent years.Except for Cheng Caiyun, who occasionally went to the fields to help with some work, Wu Jingniang simply enjoyed herself as an old lady.

Wang Changgui wanted to refuse at first, but he suddenly remembered that when Xiaohua's family was poor, she was the one who made things. Most of the time, Jingniang would also help, maybe she could really come up with a solution.

"Changgui, I don't know what's the matter with us." Wu Jingniang didn't expect that Cheng Wenqiang and Wang Changgui had something to discuss with her.

You know, after Xiaohua announced in public that she had severed ties with her, they didn't talk much to her, let alone they had something to discuss.

Cheng Wenqiang invited Uncle Ma in, and when he saw that everyone was about the same, he said, "It's like this, this winter is very cold, much colder than in previous years. Those trees in the orchard, the water chestnuts, and the chickens and ducks, What should I do? If things go on like this, a lot of trees will definitely die by the beginning of spring. Those chickens and ducks are getting thinner and thinner. According to predictions, they can be sold after the Lantern Festival. Now they are growing thinner and thinner. But what should I do? Besides, the field of water chestnuts has already been frozen, if the water chestnuts are all frozen to death, there will definitely be a huge loss in the next year."

When Wu Jingniang and the others heard Cheng Wenqiang's worried words, they also became anxious.

After Cheng Wenqiang's words were uttered, the hall was silent except for the rustling noise from the north outside.After a long while, Wu Jingniang said suddenly: "I remember before, when Xiaohua cultivated any messy things with seeds, they would put a layer of plant ash on it. Maybe we can use this to try?"

"Grass ash?" Cheng Wenqiang and Wang Changgui looked at each other, did it work?
Neither of them really understood whether this would work or not.But with so many trees, where did so much plant ash come from? It seems that each household can only collect it.

"Well, we can use plant ash, pile it up at the root of the tree, and surround it, it should be much better. As for those chickens and ducks, I don't know." Wu Jingniang continued to say such a sentence after thinking for a long time.

"Village chief, I see that it's cold. If we put a few braziers in the shed where the chickens and ducks live, there should be a lot of heat." Uncle Ma continued to express his opinion.

"But will this work? If the brazier is placed there, if the chickens and ducks are accidentally scalded, what will happen if they burn?"

"Regardless of whether it works or not, you will know after trying it first. Since it is winter, chickens and ducks should be locked up. There are so many sweet potatoes at home, mixed with them. They will be sold after the Lantern Festival, right? Anyway, it is only ten Tomorrow's question."

"Then, let's do this first, what about the water chestnut?" Wang Changgui was very concerned about this issue.You must know that the annual income of this water chestnut is still not small.

"I really don't know about this, why don't we talk about it until Xiaohua comes back." Everyone shook their heads, expressing that they had no choice.

"It's okay, but I think it's better to spread a layer of straw on top of the plant ash. Maybe it will be better. I saw Xiaohua did this before."
