The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 114
Ye Qiu hung the clothes on the bamboo poles and used the bamboo pats to break off the dust on them. Originally, the water after bathing could be used to wash the clothes a little bit, but now the water can only be used for eating, drinking and irrigation. Because the weather is dry, the clothes are patted down with the pats. Also a lot cleaner.

"Excuse me, is this Chu Ying's house?" Ye Qiu looked out and saw a strong man knocking on the door. He looked familiar, as if he had come to deliver something before.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Master, it's this one. I remember it. If you still don't believe me, come down. Miss, can this car go in?" Ye Qiu opened the door and helped push the carriage in. The car was quite heavy. I don't know how many people were sitting in it.

"Where's Chu Ying?" Lu Ming got out of the carriage and looked around. He looked at Chu Ying's paper-making equipment. It looked decent, but he didn't see anyone from Chu Ying.

Ye Qiu saw that this young man looked familiar, he was dressed gorgeously, and he was full of dignity in his gestures. Although he looked only in his teens, his eyes were sharp, and he looked him up a few times as soon as he entered the door.

"She is resting in the grove. She has been quite tired these days, so she went to sleep there after taking the medicine."

"Sleeping in the grove?" Lu Ming knew that Chu Ying was informal, but it was too unreliable for her to sleep in the grove. What if she was bitten by some insects.

"Yes, I'll take you there, little brother, sit inside and drink some water." Ye Qiu put away his clothes and put them in the kitchen. Seeing that there was still a servant here, he didn't lock the door, and put Tao Pour some water from the jar into the bowl.

"Heitan, move the things down, first check to see if there is anyone around. Let the girl lead the way." Ye Qiu watched Heitan bring down a large sack, but he didn't know what was inside.

Before he got close, Lu Ming saw that Chu Ying was wearing a short jacket and rolled-up trousers, lying on the wooden bed like a spider, and he could hear her babbling when he walked in.

Ye Qiu hurriedly pulled the thin quilt over Chu Ying's body, and the child put the quilt aside. Although it's hot now, it won't be good if the girl with arms and legs exposed gets cold.

"I'll come, you go get busy." Sitting next to Chu Ying, Lu Ming quietly looked at her like this, looking at her slightly frowned brows, her pouted little mouth, and her chubby little face. It's a little thinner now.

Chu Ying turned over and kicked Lu Ming, and groaned in pain. It was really eye-opening to see that Lu Ming was touching his ass, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Why are you here? You sat here by yourself and I fell asleep. If you kick something that can't be counted as me, it hurts too." Chu Ying sat up and rubbed her calf.

"I sold some paper before, but now it's even better in hot weather. I saw that the rice in the field was drooping in this drought. I was afraid that you would starve to death if you had nothing to eat, so I spent money to buy some food. Heitan is moving the remaining half taels of silver."

"Why is it easier to sell in hot weather?" Chu Ying moved out of her seat and slept next to her, allowing Lu Ming to have a bigger place to sit.

"Originally people with conditions have to take a bath after going to the toilet. Now that there is so little water, it is much easier to use this paper. It is so hot and there is no water. Fortunately, you have done a lot before. When the time comes I’ll leave the money for you, it’s not good for me to come here in this hot weather, and the food is enough for you to eat for a while.”

Chu Ying cheered up when she heard that there was food, "The price of rice should not be cheap now."

"Fortunately, you forgot that my family sells rice in a business. Now the farmers still have food in stock, but if the drought continues, there will not be much harvest in autumn today. I am afraid that there will be no wheat planted in the spring next year, so there will be no harvest next year. Fortunately, the price of rice will rise a lot next year, and now Daddy is still collecting grain."

Chu Ying looked at the fine sweat on Lu Ming's forehead. A rich family like Lu Ming naturally had a lot of food in their homes, so Chu Ying didn't need to worry.

"Let's go back after eating here. It's very hot now, and you'll be sweating again. There's no water for you to wash every day." Lu Ming glanced at Chu Ying coldly and got up. Walking out of the woods, "What food does your family have?"

"Of course you're here to meet some meat, roast rabbits to serve." Chu Ying folded the quilt and ran to look for Ye Qiu, taking a look at the food that Lu Ming said he had brought.

However, Chu Ying looked around for a long time and did not see any food, "Don't look, it's in the attic, that little brother helped move it up, I killed two rabbits, and then I'll see if there are any big ones in the pond. The fish you ordered, why don't you take that young master around, I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"Enen." Chu Ying looked at Lu Ming who was still in the grove and went back to look for him. She saw that he was looking at the pine and lacquer trees that she had scratched.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, your method is quite good. These trees are quite old." Lu Ming leaned his hands behind his back and walked in the small woods. Looking at the pile of rotten wood that Chu Ying had piled up, there were not many bacteria on it. .

Walking out of the grove is a bamboo forest. The ramie outside looks like it has just been cut, and the growth is not very high. This ramie is a drought-tolerant plant. It will not die in this severe drought, but it grows more slowly.

"I'll take you to see the rabbits, but I've eaten some now, and there are more than 20 newborns. I don't know if I can survive by then, or I can only kill them and eat them."

"Rabbits are not easy to raise." When Lu Ming saw the rabbit, he reached out and hugged a slightly bigger rabbit in his arms, and fed it with the hay next to him, "It's okay, the water plants and the house should be clean. gone."

"When you have more rabbits, I will collect them. This rabbit fur is still very easy to sell in winter. Especially the solid color ones, these few are very good." Looking at Lu Ming's love for it, I don't know whether to give him a few or not. I can only thank him for sending food all the way here.

"How about some for you?" Hearing what Chu Ying said, Lu Ming hurriedly put down the rabbits, wiped his hands with the handkerchief, and looked at Chu Ying with disgust.

"No, this little thing is very dirty, I don't have time to look at it, I don't need it." Seeing Lu Ming walk away arrogantly, Chu Ying pointed at Lu Ming's sleeve and shouted: "Your sleeve is stained with rabbit urine! , look at it."

Lu Ming picked up the sleeves in a panic to have a look. The clothes couldn't be seen, but he didn't want to ask, so he could only walk with his hands in his hands.

"I'm lying to you. Look at your face. You should eat soon." Lu Ming glared at Chu Ying who was walking to the kitchen, and really wanted to pick up dirt and throw it at her.

The lunch was pretty good, but Lu Ming didn't eat much, and he padded his stomach a little. The rabbits here were the main source of Chu Ying's meat, so we couldn't make Chu Ying spend too much money just because he came by himself.

After the meal, several people took a nap in the grove, "Your grove is quite good, it's cooler than outside, Heitan, when the time comes, we will also build a small bed like this in the small bamboo forest at home."

Although Chu Ying had taken medicine for the past few days, she was still a little weak, so she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, Lu Ming had already left.

"Master Lu left when the weather was a little cooler. When he left, he called for the goods to be taken away. The black charcoal was still packed with straw in a sack, and it took a lot of effort to carry it up. This Young Master Lu is quite considerate. "Ye Qiu took out the winter clothes to dry in the sun, added some material to the clothes, Chu Ying grew taller, and the original winter clothes would definitely not be able to wear after winter.
