Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 146

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is almost over, and the farm family starts to get busy.

After lunch the next day, the Liu family went to weave gloves, and Xiuyao asked her father and her to wait for the saplings at home.After a while, the sound of horseshoes and copper bells came from the street, and soon someone shouted at the door: "Excuse me, is this Qin Xiuyao's house?"

Xiuyao hurriedly ran over, and saw a middle-aged man in a coat standing at the door, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I am, uncle, are you here to deliver the saplings?"

The man hummed, "Master Xiao Qi ordered it last year, and told him to send it here."

Xiuyao asked him where his surname came from, and he said, "Call me Lin Shuangmu, we are from Tai'an Prefecture."

Xiuyao hurriedly said hello, and then shouted to Qin Yang: "Let our father come here quickly."

Before Qin Yang could call, Qin Dafu and Qin Ye had already run out. Seeing two large carriages on the street filled with saplings, they couldn't help saying in surprise, "Oh, there are so many. Come and rest in the house." .”

Lin Shuangmu asked the two men to watch the carriage, and he followed into the yard without entering the house, saying, "It's bright outside."

Xiuyao hurriedly moved a big grass mound for him, Lin Shuangmu sat down, took out a short cigarette bag and pot to smoke, and untied a few cloth pockets from the waist of the coat and put them on the ground, "Here is the grass you want Seeds or something, there is a list inside, you have to look at it yourself."

Xiuyao thanked her, carried a few bags over and put them on a small bag, opened it, and found a piece of white paper inside.Xiuyao unfolded it and saw that it was written in pencil instead of a brush. It couldn't be called a font, but it was neat and tidy, and the strokes were strong and powerful. With a jump in my heart, I could immediately think of his sharp eyes.She pursed her lips, then looked at the content carefully, writing the number of types of trees, and the number of names of grass seeds.

Ginkgo seedlings: [-] plants.

Chinese tallow tree seedlings: ten.

Tung seedlings: ten.

Walnut seedlings: eight.

Maple saplings: eight.

Chestnut trees: ten
Two catties of alfalfa seeds and four catties of Artemisia salina seeds.

In addition, there are some other saplings such as catalpa and the seeds of flowers and plants. Because they are fragmented, I only wrote a few others.

After reading it, Xiuyao put the list into her sleeve, and sighed, "Uncle Lin, do you still have Artemisia saponica?"

Lin Shuangmu laughed and said, "I don't have any mountain forest grass seeds, but Lord Qi entrusted me to bring them here."

Xiuyao asked where it came from, Lin Shuangmu said: "Alfalfa seeds and Artemisia sativa seeds should both come from the seaside, the saline-alkali land over there is severe, and it is said that horses are raised in Lingshanwei, so the grass seeds probably came from there."

Xiuyao thanked her, and then asked, "Uncle Lin, how much are these saplings worth?"

Lin Shuangmu said: "Master Xiao Qi gave half of it, so you can just give the money three times."

When Qin Dafu heard it, he couldn't help ahh. He already knew that these saplings were not cheap, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive.Three hanging money, their family may not even be able to pay a few hundred dollars now.

Xiuyao thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Lin, let's take this money for a while. We'll give you half in a few days, and we'll give you the other half at the end of the year. At that time, we'll give you an extra two hundred dollars. How about that?"

Lin Shuangmu said bluntly: "Succeed, Mr. Qi said, let you pay in batches, we agree. I will send my son to pick it up later."

Fei County is not big, and it is next to Tai'an Prefecture, with a distance of 25 miles, but it takes a hundred miles to go from Taoyuan to Linshuangmu's mountain forest.

Xiuyao thanked her again and again, and said to Qin Dafu: "Father, you talk to Uncle Lin, and my second sister and I will cook something for Uncle Lin and them."

Lin Shuangmu quickly waved his hands, "Don't bother, we brought dry food."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, when you go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to get home in one breath, so let's eat dry food on the way." When they arrived at her house at this time, they must have set off in the middle of the night.

Seeing how considerate she was, Lin Shuangmu couldn't help but said: "What a good girl, I wonder how Mr. Qi is so... ahem, I praise you." As he spoke, he hurriedly talked to Qin Dafu, and Xiuxian poured water for him.

"Second brother, go and help uncle and the others look at the carriage, and let those two come in for dinner." Xiuyao went to the west room and said to Qin Xian.

Qin Xian said unwillingly: "I'm still reading."

Xiuyao glanced at him. Although she was holding a book in her hand, Xiuyao saw that he had been holding that book for almost a year, and there were not many words in it. She was still reading it, and she didn't know she had learned it thoroughly. No.

Xiuyao stopped calling him and said to Xiuxian: "Second Sister, you go, I will cook by myself."

Qin Yang ran over, "I'll help Second Sister."

Seeing this, Qin Ye entered the room and said, "Erxian, go and help."

Qin Xian didn't dare to refute with his elder brother, so he dropped the book and said, "Oh, you've been tossing around all day, elder brother, don't you think that you're full to eat, and spend three pennies to buy those broken saplings? Our family has so much money? Why don’t you let me go to school with so much money?” Then he left.

Qin Ye bit his lip, turned around and smiled at Xiuyao, "Your second brother is just joking, don't worry about it."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Brother, why do you have to explain for the second brother, I don't care." She just said that she didn't care. Find a way to have a good relationship with him, thinking that we are family after all.But seeing that the second elder brother went too far and was instigated by Zhang to get farther and farther away from them, she also calmed down.

But she still told herself time and time again that it was the second brother, even if it was wrong, it was instigated by the nanny, if the little sheep could be brought back, maybe the second brother could too.So she always finds a chance to have a word with him. Seeing people coming from the family today, the second elder brother didn't give face and said such things, she was also angry.

Xiuyao fried a large pot of spinach, a large pot of cabbage, pickled sweet and sour radish sticks, sesame oil mixed with spicy shredded cabbage, a plate of Chinese toon sprouts, and a small basket of thick noodle rolls.

Qin Dafu let Lin Shuangmu and two fellows onto the kang, "I'm so hungry, eat quickly."

Seeing how warm and thoughtful they were, Lin Shuangmu said with a smile, "Okay, let's stop pretending. Brother Qin is so kind, so let's stop talking. After this meal, I, Lin Shuangmu, recognize you as friends."

His family planted a forest and planted a lot of trees, and he sold hundreds of thousands of saplings every year, so he naturally made a lot of money, but he was always dressed in coarse clothes and had an unshaven beard, and few people took him as a gift when he went out to give saplings What happened, I thought he was a buddy.

There are few people like Xiuyao who invited him to the kang, and even took out the food at home and gave them to eat vigorously!

After eating, Lin Shuangmu smoked another pipe, and then left.

He said to Xiuyao: "Girl, if you need any seedlings in the future, just ask the messenger to deliver a letter to me, and then go to the top of Laolinzi Mountain in Tai'an Prefecture, and keep it delivered."

Xiuyao hurriedly thanked her, and said to Lin Shuangmu: "Uncle Lin, you should go east, just drop by us to unload in the field. Our family doesn't have a car, so we can't let it go."

Lin Shuangmu smiled and said: "Success." He called for someone to drive the car, and asked Xiuyao to get in the car to show the way, and Qin Yang had already climbed up.

Qin Dafu took the shovel and other tools, and asked Qin Xian to find his second uncle to help plant trees, and then followed him to the field.

Qin Xian went to Zhang's house, Zhang was chatting with Guo, the second aunt and the third aunt were also sitting in the east room and gossiping, the old Qin was still weaving mats, and the cellar would be filled in a few days, he wanted to make two more quickly Come out.

Qin Ergui and Qin Sanshun went down the girder in the east, Qin Chan was beside him to help, and the three Xiumei sisters ran out to play and were not at home.

Qin Xian explained the purpose of his visit, Qin Ergui immediately threw the stone and said to Qin Sanshun: "Third brother, let's go, let's help elder brother plant trees."

Qin Sanshun smiled and said: "Second brother, you are really diligent, you go, I'm tired."

Qin Ergui said: "Why are you tired? Don't be lazy."

Qin Sanshun refused, and lay down on the kang, "Second brother, it's only the second of February, and I have to tidy up the house, and then I will start spring plowing. If you don't take a good rest, I have to rest." Close your eyes and refuse to move.

Qin Ergui didn't force him, and said to Qin Chan: "Take the things and go."

Qin Chan went to clean up immediately.

Qin Ergui said something to Old Qintou, and then walked out. The second aunt saw it from the window of the East Wing, and immediately chased him out, "Why are you going?"

Qin Ergui said in a low voice, "Plant a tree." Then he walked out.

The third aunt said with a half-smile: "Oh, the second brother is hardworking, the sister-in-law's family has to pay for the labor."

Qin Ergui didn't want to talk to her, so he led Qin Chan away.

The second aunt said angrily: "I don't care if you are a man, Da Chan is my son, I won't allow him to go. You don't love him, I do. Dan, come back, I'm so tired, I don't have a good rest."

Qin Chan said: "Mother, I'm not tired. I haven't done anything for the first month, and I'm idle to death."

The second aunt scolded: "Why are you so stupid, you went to help them plant trees a few times in a first month."

Qin Ergui said: "What's the matter, his great cause is not to save me."

The second aunt shouted: "He shouldn't save you, you are not his second uncle, if he doesn't save you, he will be a beast."

Qin Ergui scolded: "There's something wrong with you. I'm his second uncle, and he's also my nephew. What's wrong with me planting trees for my elder brother?"

The second aunt was so angry that she left a message with her eyes wide open, and her nose wrinkled, "Go, go, go with them. Let's see if they will give you something after harvesting the tree."

Qin Ergui ignored him and led Qin Chan away.

The second aunt stomped her feet in anger and cried, "I can't stay in this family anymore."

The third aunt smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about, don't you still have us? Second brother was instigated by them, sister-in-law and the others are really powerful, they have a lot of thoughts."

The second aunt said bitterly: "Those stinky girls, all of them will die in a bad way." After saying that, she turned and went home, the third aunt hurriedly followed, and the two entered the main room and told Mrs. Zhang.
