Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 279

In the letter, he said that he would not come back until the Chinese New Year.

Qi Feng quickly walked towards her, then slowed down to walk side by side with her, Xiao Bai bit the hem of his robe and pulled at her skirt.

He smiled and said, "I have something to do at home, so I hurried back." After finishing speaking, he actually looked at her a little nervously, watching her face.

Xiuyao nodded, maybe it was Weng Baozhu's matter, after all, her fiancée came, and it would be unreasonable not to go home.

There was nothing unusual about her, and she was still so frank, which made him a little uneasy, hesitating for a while whether to continue or not.

When they arrived at the study in the west courtyard, Xiuyao invited him to sit down. She made tea herself and brought some homemade candied fruit and snacks, "Are you coming from the county? Bar."

Now it's past lunch time, and it's not until dinner, and it's cold again, so I can't eat cold meals.

Qi Feng said: "No hurry." Then he didn't speak.

Xiuyao glanced at him and asked, "I want to ask you something."

Hearing this, Qi Feng immediately sat upright, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "Ask."

"What the hell is that cargo? I can't figure out what you're talking about in your letter." Xiuyao smiled and asked as she ate a piece of preserved apricot.

Qi Feng's eyes were a little dark, and he said, "It's just some spices and dyes."

When Xiuyao heard it, she looked at him happily, her eyes sparkling, "That's a good thing, really good stuff, I heard that the imported pepper is very good, and there is also a kind of pepper, is there any? The dye is also colorfast, It doesn't fade as easily as our mineral and vegetable pigments."

The business of Dabuzhuang and Satinzhuang is good. On the one hand, they have monopolized those dyes, and the dyed fabrics are bright in color and do not fade.

With those dyes, her weaving workshop can do better business in the future, and the most important thing is that it can be exported!

Seeing her so excited and eager to try, Qi Feng couldn't help but be infected by her, and laughed, "You are really capable."

Xiuyao is still looking forward to doing this or that in the future, because when it comes to things she likes, she is full of energy, her eyes are shining, and she is indescribably agile, making people feel like there is a ball of light flowing and shining in the room. , rolling his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he blurted out: "That, that Weng Baozhu, has no engagement with me."

Xiuyao who was interrupted froze for a moment, then looked at him, "Yeah."

Qi Feng said it again solemnly, Xiuyao laughed, waved her hands and said, "Actually Miss Weng is pretty good, she's a chivalrous girl... Well, I'm pretty good with you."

Thinking of how handsome he was with his cloak across his sword, she felt like a great general.

Qi Feng was stunned, "Good match?" What did she mean?

"However, she is a little savage and easy to make enemies." Thinking of Weng Baozhu's hostility towards her, she said without concealing it.

Qi Feng broke out in a cold sweat, "Well, I have no engagement with her, she is the daughter of the leader of the Golden Knife Gang, and I'm just the deputy leader, but I don't count now. The ones who like her are the eldest disciple and the second son of the leader. Helper, it's not me."

But Xiuyao changed the subject, instead of asking about Weng Baozhu, she asked: "Forget it, are they pushing you out?"

Qi Feng seemed to be a bit unable to keep up with her thinking, so he hummed, "It doesn't count, maybe everyone has different ambitions."

They have different ways and do not conspire with each other. It is impossible for him to become a gang leader by marrying the gang leader's daughter. Besides, his ambition is not in the position of the gang leader, so why bother to get angry with the two who want to be the gang leader.

Xiuyao smiled and said: "I think you're doing the right thing. It's not very promising to be a gangster. You are a man with ambition and ability. You can do anything well. Why bother yourself."

Qi Feng stared at her blankly, she and the third brother spoke very similar words, he laughed, "Yeah, that's why I'm upset, I quit, so I came back to study and run the boat."

Xiuyao pursed her lips and smiled, "Then they got upset again and wanted to pull you back, right?"

Qi Feng nodded, "That's right," he said frankly, "The leader of the previous clan wanted me to become a matriarch and then become the leader of the clan. I disagree. Now he means that he doesn't have to marry a wife, as long as he doesn't take a concubine, he can be the leader of the clan. "

Of course, it still depends on nepotism.

Of course he would not agree.

Xiuyao said with a smile: "They may think that only passing it on to their relatives will be reliable, and it's good not to take concubines."

Qi Feng hurriedly said: "I didn't want to take a concubine in the first place, and I wouldn't take a concubine if I didn't marry her or be a leader." That expression seemed to be eager to clarify something.

Xiuyao nodded again and again, "Well, that's good, concubinage is the root of family instability."

Qi Feng's expression darkened when he said that, Xiuyao thought of his mother, and comforted her: "Your mother is not a concubine, she is a concubine, she is serious, you have nothing to be sad about."

It's just an old couple and a young wife, so it's different from a concubine.

Qi Feng glanced at her gratefully, she was always so considerate and would not make people feel embarrassed.

It seems that the matter is exposed?Fortunately, as soon as he received Xiao Qi's letter, he rushed back in a hurry. It's Xiao Qi's guy, saying that Miss Xiuyao is angry, and I'm afraid she won't come here in the future.

Who knew that seeing Xiuyao, she was nothing like that at all, she was still smiling, nothing unusual.

Does that just mean she doesn't care?
But this is too embarrassing to ask.

At this time, Xiuyao had already changed the topic, and asked him about the boat trip, as well as her family's sugar mill, breeding farm, biogas digester, etc. She was so excited that she said, "I'll take you to visit."

"It's an honor." He was very happy that she would tell him something he liked, and he wanted to see it right away.

After walking around for a while, Mrs. Liu almost started cooking.

Qi Feng also congratulated Xiuxian on her engagement and sent a red envelope. Liu Shi refused to say that she should wait for the marriage, but he said that she would send the engagement first, and then talk about it after marriage. Have a meal.

Qi Feng stayed for dinner, but in the evening, the sky was cloudy and it started to rain lightly, which was chilly.

Qin Dafu said: "It's raining, the rain is no worse than snow, it's very cold, Qi Feng should stay here, and live in the east courtyard with Daye."

Qi Feng didn't refuse either, "Then bother."

Everyone talked together at night, and unanimously asked Qi Feng to talk about the outside world. Although Qi Feng didn't seem to like talking very much, when he said interesting things, he could always grasp the key points and let everyone listen with gusto.

Time passed very quickly, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Until the third watch, everyone was still full of ideas.

It is best to produce sugar when the weather is cold, and the work on the farm will not be reduced due to the slack season, so the Qin family is very busy. Except for the necessary relatives, other activities have basically stopped.As for the rest of the farms, it was the slack season, so it was very convenient for Xiuyao to hire people to work. There were more people and less wages, so they rushed to come.Those who wanted to come but didn't have enough staff still regretted it, and tried every means to find someone to intercede so that Xiuyao would definitely look for them next time. There were even some neighbors and relatives who wanted to recommend a relative to help make money.

Today Liu and Qin Dafu took Xiuyao to her parents-in-law's house for dinner. After the family separation, the life of old Qintou's family has improved. Liu has never treated them badly for meat, fish, vegetables, and food, so now they are also generous, and for the sake of their elders For the excitement and face, every ten days and half a month let the three bedrooms go to eat.

They went a little late, and the second aunt and the third aunt had already helped to prepare the meals. Seeing them coming in, the third aunt said sarcastically: "My sister-in-law is really lucky. Now that the family employs someone, there is no need for any work." If you do it, you will be the grandma who shook hands."

Liu Shi said: "There are so many jobs inside and out, and so many people have to eat. It's not as good as you can relax and chat with each other all day long."

The third aunt and the second aunt are active in Houtaoyuan now, and they are walking around with Zhou Xiaoli's house. Don't think she doesn't know how many times she used the big house as a favor, and went to tell others about the big house's farm and so on. of.

Anyway, Zhou Xiaoli didn't dare to make trouble, Liu Shi didn't bother to talk to them.

Mrs. Zhang asked them to pack up the meals and eat quickly. Xiuyao saw Xiujuan and the others hiding aside and whispering, holding a few pieces of jewelry in their hands, which looked quite chic.

Seeing her looking over, Xiuting immediately let Xiuyao look at it with a superficial cover-up and showed off. She raised her chin to see that Xiuyao had a red string tied on her head, and she didn't have any good-looking jewelry. Silver bumps, nothing valuable at all.

They felt that although the big house might have made money, they were just trying to save face by showing off so much, so there was nothing valuable about Xiuyao.

Xiuyao saw that one of the gold hairpins was worth a few taels of silver, she was a little surprised, the second aunt and the third aunt were willing to buy such a fine gold hairpin?
Most importantly, do they have that spare cash?
When the family was separated, I was afraid that the family would not even be able to spend a tael of silver. So soon, they were rich enough to enjoy this luxury?
It's not that you can't have luxury goods, but she doesn't think this nobile hairpin is used by people like them. After all, it's flashy and expensive, so it's better to keep the money and do business.

She also heard Xiumei and Xiuting say that Xiujuan has a good life, she is born beautiful but she is different, so she can say that she is a good relative.

Xiuyao understood now, it seems that the third aunt started talking to Xiujuan?
Judging by the appearance of this golden hairpin, I'm afraid it has already been agreed?
For a meal, the third aunt was basically showing how her natal family was, how her brother and Fu Biaozi helped them, how they worked hard, were not stingy or lazy, and how much help they gave them. Liu has always been low-key and doesn't like to talk about herself family affairs, so I pretended I didn't hear her, didn't get angry with her, and let her show off.

"Sister-in-law, the family you have appointed for Xiuxian is Xu's family in Four Eyes Well Village?" Third Aunt asked with belated eyes.

The Xu family in Siyanjing, they all know that they are somewhat close relatives with the Zhou family, so what, it's not a big family, but they just eat well and dress warmly, nothing special.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Mrs. Liu was a little unhappy, so she smiled and said: "That girl Xiuxian, it's just right for her to marry the Xu family. Hurry up and tidy up and serve some tea."

The third aunt laughed: "Mother, I actually had a good family and wanted to tell Xiuxian about it, but seeing my sister-in-law look like that, I guess it's not unusual. Oh, that family has five or six hundred acres of land. When I go, I will be the young mistress."

She just wanted to see Liu Shi showing regret and regret, showing that she wanted to curry favor with her, but in the end she was disappointed again.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, "His third lady, as long as you have the heart, find a good home for Xiujuan."

The third aunt curled her lips. She said she asked Liu to help find her, but she was only busy with her own daughter, so it was impossible for her to take care of Xiujuan.

Anyway, that's what she said, she wouldn't want Liu Shi if she found it, she had to find it herself, she smiled and said: "Xiujuan is easy to find, the matchmaker looks good, and the female celebrity is not bad, They are all scrambling to find them, oops, you don’t know, it’s really a family of women begging, so many people come to beg, we are all picky. Sister-in-law, your beauty is coming soon, why don’t you come to my house and I’ll pay you back. There are quite a few families."

Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to speak, Xiuyao immediately asked, "San Niangniang, where did you tell Sister Juanjuan about her?"

The third aunt stopped talking, and faltered here and there. Anyway, she just didn't talk about the topic, so Xiuyao felt that there must be something tricky in it.
