Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 72

Seeing her insistence, Qi Feng didn't care about it, Zhou Steward immediately thanked her and took Zhou Xiaopang away with half persuasion and half force.Zhou Xiaopang was still unconvinced, he kicked his legs and shouted loudly, Zhou Steward was so frightened that he hurriedly told him to keep quiet, but he didn't dare to cover his mouth, so he could only say: "Little ancestor, don't make trouble, he is not easy to mess with."

Zhou Xiaopang asked, "Who is he!"

Butler Zhou said: "Of course the young master doesn't know, you should ask the master."

Over there, Xiuyao thanked Qi Feng, who jumped off the horse, "I'm the one who got you in trouble."

Xiuyao glanced at him and wanted to ask if the melon was really bought, but Qi Feng seemed to understand, "The melon was given by Feng Ji."

Xiuyao couldn't help laughing, "You're amazing, you're good at kung fu, right? What do you do? Why are they so afraid of you?" After asking so many questions in one breath, she felt that she was a little too curious. Nervous, now too relaxed, a little carried away.

But after this, she didn't seem to be so afraid of Qi Feng.

Qi Feng said: "I'm doing things in the county, and we have some business dealings with the Zhou family."

Xiuyao snorted, "Is the county very big? Are all the people in it rich?" When she came here, she had never been to anywhere except her grandfather's house. She really wanted to know if everyone in the county was so poor. Will it be better.

Qi Feng thought for a while and said: "It's okay, there are poor people everywhere."

Xiuyao hummed, thinking, the Qin family is the poorest, but what can be done?
Looking at the sky, it was getting dark, she said: "Thank you, I have to go home, are you going back to the county? It's too late."

Qi Feng said: "I'm going back to Shahe Village."

Xiuyao let out an oh and said goodbye.

Qi Feng said: "I'll see you off." It's still a little far away from her village, and she is still carrying a bundle of wheat for such a little girl.

Although Xiuyao refused, he still followed up and helped her carry the wheat. Xiuyao didn't refuse any more, and walked for a while in silence without anyone saying a word.Xiuyao thought that for a little girl like herself, she would definitely not have any thoughts, so there was no need to be afraid.

After walking for a while, Qi Feng said: "What I said last time is true. I have a bit of land in Shahe Village, and I can grow anything. If the sweet potato really grows alive, you might as well give it a try." Seemingly afraid of Xiuyao's rejection, Then he hurriedly said: "It's not white, you have to pay land rent, um..." He really doesn't know how to calculate the land rent for this sweet potato, maybe it's the same as other families, it seems wrong, but how many catties you have to say, he I don't know how many catties an acre of land weighs.

In the end, he actually looked at her and asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Xiuyao almost fell to the ground, this land belongs to him, besides he is an adult between the two of them, he actually asked her such a little girl, really, is he smart or stupid? Zhou Xuan looks like he has a lot of ideas.

Seeing Xiuyao laughing, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed too, "I really don't know, when I planed the sweet potatoes, they looked like piles, but how much land can you plant with six sweet potatoes?"

Xiuyao said: "In the coming spring, we can plant a lot, and we can plant as much land as we want." She exaggerated a bit, but a few mu of land is still enough.

Qi Feng nodded, "Then next year. Now that the millet is planted, it will be empty for you when the millet and sorghum are harvested in autumn."

Xiuyao was surprised: "Why did you rent it to me? You are cheaper, there must be many people renting it."

Qi Feng said: "I'm very curious about that sweet potato, and it's also close to your grandfather's village."

Xiuyao snorted, and he said again: "Surely you don't just want to grow sweet potatoes, do you?"

Hearing this, Xiuyao was shocked, how did he know?She turned her head to look at him, but she didn't know it, those eyes were full of vigilance and vigilance that didn't belong to her age, Qi Feng glanced at her, and said: "The sweet potato is not very delicious if you eat it every day, if you plant several What can Mu do?"

Xiuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly blamed herself for being too frightened, because she came from time travel and was careful everywhere, always afraid of being found out as a different kind. In reality, how could people have so many thoughts? If you walk alone, you won't be regarded as a monster.

She wiped off her sweat, laughed at herself, and said, "I want to raise pigs."

Qi Feng looked at her, "Raising pigs? It's a good idea. Pork is expensive, and there is a lot of demand in the county, and it can be sold to neighboring counties." As long as the rich people pay attention to food, if they pay attention to essence, the consumption The amount is even more astonishing.If there is not enough food, raising pigs is limited. Fine grains cannot be used to raise pigs, and if you eat too much wild vegetables, it will not be easy for pigs to become fat. If you raise a hundred catties all year round, they will be big.

Therefore, if sweet potatoes can be fed to pigs, that would be a good idea, after all, a mound of sweet potatoes can grow in one tree.

A bunch of sweet potatoes, there are several, it really is a good idea!

He couldn't help squinting his eyes when he looked at her. He never looked at her as a little girl. When he looked at her so closely, she was just a little girl, so small that she couldn't be smaller. They were all tanned and torn. Although they didn't look too dark, the two colors of the cheeks and the exposed part of the neck were quite distinct. He couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and the summer would be back to nothing.I remember when I saw her earlier, the little girl was still in vain.

Xiuyao felt that his eyes were a bit strange, so she couldn't help but glared at him, and he lowered her eyes, "I'll take you here." As he spoke, he picked up the sheaf of wheat and put it on her back, put the hemp rope over it, and Xiuyao pulled hard live.

Seeing that he was carrying it so lightly with one hand, but it was so heavy on her back, Xiuyao couldn't help but want to grow up quickly, and she was really anxious to death.

"Thank you." She smiled at him.

Qi Feng hummed, "Then it's settled."

"En." He glanced at her, nodded slightly, then turned around and got on his horse and left.

Xiuyao stood for a while, turned around and went home when she lost sight of him, still feeling a little dreamy in her heart, what kind of person is this man?At one moment it was mysterious and at other times it was very casual, at another moment it seemed like killing people with a knife, and at another moment it gave her such a little girl a big piece of silver, hey, I really can't figure it out.

However, he is not a bad person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come and go like this openly.

The bad guys are the kind of robbers that Xiuyao thinks in her mind. If the robbers in the Taiping era robbed the people, they must be bad guys.The modern concept of robbers and thieves has been deeply rooted in her heart, and she can't change it for a while.

When she got home, she happened to meet Xiumei and the others at the door, like frightened little rabbits, all of them were in shock, Xiuting even had a few sunflower seeds on her face.

Xiuyao glanced at them and shouted loudly: "You guys stole melons!"

Xiuting trembled all over, and Xiumei immediately countered: "You just stole melons, we didn't steal melons." Then she pulled Xiuting, wiped her face with her hand, and wiped off the melon seeds for her .

On the other side, Xiujuan glanced at Xiuyao, and immediately said loudly in the tone of catching a thief and stealing stolen goods: "Oh, you stole melons, ah, it's still melons!" As she spoke, she stepped forward to pick up the net bag that Xiuyao was carrying.

Xiuyao threw her body violently, and the melon wiped Xiujuan's face and smashed it. She snorted, "Which eye of yours saw me steal it." One shouted and chased after him, "Nurse, Xiuyao is stealing melons!"

Xiurong and the others ran out. Seeing that Xiujuan was going to grab the melon on Xiuyao's back, Xiuxian immediately strode forward and protected Xiuyao behind her, "You guys are really lazy, why did a bunch of people pick it up How about some wheat? Look, the two of you combined are not as good as Xiuyao."

Xiuxian pawed Xiuting and Xiumei, both of them were carrying a small bundle, looking very thin.

Xiumei felt aggrieved and said: "Where can we still pick up wheat now? People's homes also pick up wheat, but it's not like we go out to pick up other people's homes."

Xiuxian reprimanded: "Oh, you just complain when you are asked to pick up wheat, why don't you complain when you eat, even Xiuyao works, there is no complaint at all, why do you talk so much nonsense?"

Xiumei was taught to cry by Xiuxian, she dropped the wheat and went to the east chamber to complain to her mother, the second aunt is now in the shameless stage, being scolded by the old Qin head, she can't hold her head up, she wants to be a man with her tail between her legs, how dare she care about this , and only scolded Xiumei a few words, "You are a dead girl, you know how to be lazy and shameful."

Xiumei was so scolded that she cried.

When Mrs. Zhang came out to watch, Xiuyao explained the origin of the melon, but she covered up the part about the Zhou family. What if Mrs. Zhang had a seizure and suspected that she had offended the Zhou family and beat her again?Or what if she sees that she didn't ask for the money and drives herself to go, hmph, she won't tell her.

Hearing Xiuyao say that it was given by the person who changed the sweet potato last time, Xiuyao no longer doubted it. Although the boy looked a little difficult to deal with, he didn't look like a bad guy. Xiurong was very curious, and his eyes were full of gossip. .

Mrs. Zhang was a little dissatisfied when talking about those sweet potatoes, and muttered: "There are so many cakes, what kind of sweet potatoes have been replaced, whether it is not suitable for eating or not, these sweet potatoes are all rotten now."

As she said that, she was going to get the melon in Xiuyao's hand, but Xiuyao passed it to the second sister, saying: "Second sister, I hate people for wronging me the most, and I suspect that I won't eat a bite of it. Anyway, maybe someone He ate it outside and was chased like a dead dog."

Thinking of being so threatened by Zhou Xiaoli's dead son, her teeth itch with hatred, and when she came back to see Xiuting and the others, she knew it was a good thing they did.Otherwise, with their temperament, they would have proudly shown off the melons they picked up, and they would not hide them at all. Naturally, they would have such consequences if they ate them secretly.And we went together, halfway they separated her furtively, isn't it just for that?
Xiujuan originally thought that with Xiuyao like this, the nanny would definitely beat and scold her, but who knows that the nanny has also changed recently, she is getting better and better towards her aunt's family, and she rarely scolds, especially for Xiuyao, which makes her jealous again Envy again.

Xiuxian took the melon, cut it into pieces with a knife, and divided them one by one, but didn't give Xiujuan a few.

Xiujuan and the others were drooling when they looked at it. This melon looked so sweet, it was clearly a ripe melon, definitely not comparable to the bitter melon they stole.

She swallowed, and Xiu Ting started to stamp her feet and shout, "Why don't you give it to me, I want it too."

But she is not Xiuxian's opponent, Xiuxian makes a move, and the three of them can't shake the partnership, let alone the Zhang family doesn't care, and the old Qintou, Qin Dafu, Qin Ergui are still busy in the field, there is no one at all You can complain.

At this time, when Qin Sanshun and the third aunt came back, Xiujuan rushed forward to complain, saying how the second sister and Xiuyao bullied them, and how they refused to eat melons.

Qin Sanshun walked out of the main room as soon as he heard it, and said to Xiuxian: "Erman, what's the matter, bullying people, why do you eat melons if you have them?"

Xiuxian smiled and said: "Sandada, you Xiujuan ate out and didn't bring it back. Xiuyao brought back some delicious food. You should also go with Xiujuan and the others for your share."

Qin Sanshun was so angry that he laughed and said: "Erman, are you trying to divide the family? Why do you and us belong to our family? If you have anything, you have to share it with your mother." The remaining uncut melon was saved by Xiuxian for her grandfather, second uncle, mother, and third brother to taste. Anyway, she would not give it to the women of the second aunt. Of course, now the third uncle has a bad attitude and will not give it up.

Xiuxian copied the melon and handed it to Xiurong, who hid in the east room.

Qin Sanshun shouted: "Mother, take a look, are there any rules?"

Mrs. Zhang could only laugh and said: "You said that you are a bit promising, third son, what are you doing with a few girls."

Qin Sanshun dissatisfied: "Mother, you don't care, Er Man'er is too careless, no big or small."

Xiuxian said angrily: "Sandada, why don't you say that you are becoming more and more a fake fairy, and you are not as good as before, so you know how to teach us with a straight face." Hmph, instigated by San Niangniang, It's getting more and more different from before, if he doesn't get along well with them, then they naturally don't rush to get along with their third wife, and it's not like whoever leaves can't live.

Do not care!
Qin Sanshun also got serious, and asked Xiuxian what was wrong with him, and whether they were spoiled and didn't take their elders seriously.

Xiuxian also seemed to be angered by Qin Sanshun, and she wanted to talk to him, make a list of one, two, three, four, five, and see who is different from before.In the past, Qin Sanshun was like Dafang’s good family. If his clothes were torn, he would ask his sister-in-law to mend them. When his sister-in-law returned to her mother’s house, he would secretly get him some delicious food. He would also bring his nephews and nieces to catch fish and birds. .But gradually, he can't, no, he can't, anyway, he is also a married man, but in Xiuxian's eyes, he shouldn't be unreasonable.The third aunt said that she and the third uncle were not fine people, and they couldn't use those good things, so don't waste them.Let's talk, but I didn't see her return the things, but the words were choking.

And sometimes talking is getting more and more annoying, especially the third aunt, who is smiling and speaking with barbs.After coming and going, everyone has faded away. Although they are still a big family, who is pointing at whom to support!

Qin Sanshun was said by Xiuxian, and said angrily: "What do you know, a little girl?" When he first got married, he and his eldest brother's family were still very close, but his wife always said that her sister-in-law pushed her out and showed her face , come and go again, he will fade away.

On the second day, Xiuyao and the girls went to pick up the wheat as usual, so the adults paid the rent for the wheat in the field, and when they came back at night, they counted and found that the harvest was much less than expected.

Old Qin knocked on the pipe and pot, and said: "At first, I thought I could have more than half a stone of grain left, but why did I have so much less?" He has been farming for many years, and when harvesting crops, he estimated the harvest is about the same, often not It will be two or three buckets away.For people like them, half a stone of grain is life-saving food. He was very depressed, silently tapping on the pipe and pot, smoking dry if there was no fire.
