Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 6 The Man in White
Nanmenyue went back to the back room to tidy up, greeted Mrs. Zhuang, took her tools and hurried out.

On the way to the county seat, from time to time, I met villagers who came back from the market.Nanmenyue covered her face with a cloth to prevent them from recognizing her.

The clothes on her were Qi Zhengang's, and they fit well on her body, but they were a bit long. In order not to let her employer question her craftsmanship, she could only pretend to be the son of Mr. Qi.Anyway, the employer is from the city and doesn't know the situation at home.

The village is not far from the county seat, and Nanmenyue's body can't walk too fast, and she has to ask passers-by from time to time. When she arrived at her employer's house, the sun was already high.

Hearing that she was here to repair the flower garden, the guard at the door opened the door and led her in, and there was inevitably a lecture along the way.

Nanmenyue would also observe the situation, nodded and bowed, apologized again and again, and followed the servant around the front yard to the back yard.

Passing through an arched stone gate, a sea of ​​colorful flowers comes into view like a dream.

The servant led her to the foreman of the garden, gave a rough explanation and then withdrew.

The foreman squinted his cloudy eyes and looked at Nanmenyue, "Are you the son of Qi Carpenter?" Why does this body look like a butcher.

"Yes, my father is old, and I will handle all the gardening in your house from now on."

Nanmen Yue gathered the tool bag on her shoulders, and deliberately lowered her voice.

The foreman nodded, "Follow me, this garden is huge, don't wander around, come and find me when the garden is repaired, and I will give you money."

Nanmenyue nodded in agreement, staring at this beautiful flower scene. As a geologist, although she has seen many exotic flowers and trees, there is no flower in the garden that she can name. .

If she asked the foreman, she would think she was busy, so she had to shut up and move on.

The two walked around several large flower beds, and the foreman stopped, "This is the place you want to repair. The wood you need is right in front. If you have anything to do, come to me in front. We are in a hurry to plant new flowers in this flower bed. Just fix it."

Nanmenyue nodded, seeing the foreman walking away, she put down her tool bag and started working.

This is an abandoned flowerbed. The flowers have been removed, and the wood blocks have been corroded and useless. They have been shoveled to one place.She just needs to set up a new flowerbed in the open space.

Nanmenyue brought the wooden plank, but she was a little helpless. She put down her tools and leaned over to study the nearby flower garden.

After a closer look, I found that these flower beds are separated by boards, and the flowers do not grow next to each other at all.

Nanmenyue suffered from an occupational disease. She carefully picked up the flowering branches and wanted to see the soil quality, but found that there was no soil in the flowerpot at all. The rhizomes of each flower were like mushrooms, growing on a wooden block .

This kind of breeding technology can't help giving her a thumbs up even from the 21st century.

Nanmenyue didn't care to ponder the superb planting skills. After figuring out the structure of the flower garden, she quickly dug out the tools and started working.After all, she is a novice, and she is in a hurry, so she might not be able to finish her work before sunset.

During the lunch break, the foreman brought her food, a salted egg, two dishes of green vegetables, ordinary servant food, but in Nanmen Yueyan's eyes, it was like a gluttonous feast.

The salted eggs were not willing to eat, so they were put away, and the vegetables and rice were swept away. After filling their stomachs, their strength also came up, and they worked hard, and the flower garden was finally repaired around Shen Shi.

Put all the tools into the cloth bag, wipe off the sawdust on the body, stretch out the cuff to wipe the dusty face, and ask the foreman to come and accept it.

At this time, the sun was gradually moving towards the west, and the winter wind was blowing, and the flowers twisted their waists like a charming woman.

The ethereal and melodious sound of the flute came from not far away, and the melody was sometimes low and sometimes high-pitched.

Although Nanmenyue didn't understand music, she could also hear the upset of the flute player, so she looked in the direction the flute sounded.

In the middle of a sea of ​​purple flowers, stood a slender figure, with black hair tied in a copper crown fluttering in the wind, like the sound of a flute.

With a svelte figure and a plain silver brocade suit, it was obvious that he was a man, the flute sounded suddenly again, the cuffs fluttered in the wind, and the flowers swayed, he looked like a fairy scattered in the world.

Nanmenyue stood there as if her soul had been sucked away. Her mind was uncontrollably sketching the man's appearance, so when the foreman's gloomy old face came into her sight, she was almost frightened. Sit right where you are.

"I forgot to remind Carpenter Qi. If we want to continue to do carpentry in our house, in addition to excellent skills, the mouth will be dumb, eyes will be blind, and he will forget things when he goes out. Next time he will work with his ears."

The foreman spoke in a low voice, not daring to disturb his son's elegant mood, seeing Nanmenyue bowed his head in silence, he passed her to check and accept with a sullen face.

The flower garden made by Nanmenyue is different from that of the old man. She took advantage of the seamlessness of the wooden boards to build the flower garden higher than that of old man Qi before, and surrounded it with four floors. This not only saves space, but also can plant more flowers. flower seedlings.

Mr. Qi probably couldn't guess that the flower seedlings don't need to be cultivated with mud. He thought that the mud was put into the flower tank, and he was worried that the flower garden would be crushed, so he built an enclosure.

The foreman clasped his index finger and tapped the flowerbed in a circle, making no sound, and it was very firm.He nodded and was very satisfied with the fruits of Nanmenyue's labor.

"Follow me to get the money."

Nanmenyue heard his ending sound raised, and her tense heart eased. She picked up the tool bag and followed the housekeeper.When I went back along that road, the man playing the flute had disappeared.

The housekeeper led Nanmenyue back to the small room in front of the garden, opened the drawer, took out a small cloth bag, spread it out, nodded it, and handed it to her.

"This is today's salary. Come here early tomorrow, and I won't send someone to invite you."

Nanmenyue held the white broken silver, her heart was jumping up and down, hearing that there was still work to be done tomorrow, so she quickly thanked the foreman.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, he hurriedly left with the broken silver in his hand.

When I came out of the garden, I met a girl in black, who was rushing over. The girl in black had her black hair tied up without any headgear.

The girl was also looking at him, different from the contemptuous eyes of others, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes that Nanmen Yue couldn't read.

"Are you a carpenter for a flower garden?"

Nanmenyue nodded, she was covered in sawdust and dressed so shabby, she was not a carpenter, could she be her father-in-law?

The girl in black stopped talking, looked at her carefully for a moment, and then buried herself in the garden.

Nanmen Yue returned home like an arrow, but she didn't think much about it.After she came out of the house, she walked back along the street, bought rice at the grain shop, and then hurried home with a bunch of candied haws.

For the few broken pieces of silver that I kept on my body, let Mrs. Zhuang go to the county town tomorrow to find a doctor for the old man.
