The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 32

Xiaomi hurriedly threw a wet cloth into the basin in the corner of the room, wiped his hands and face, and finally fed him pills and half a bowl of warm water.

When he was able to stand up, he didn't want to be grabbed by his right hand suddenly.

The man's big hands probably haven't done any heavy work, they are not very rough, but wide and warm, and the palms are even slightly hot, just like what Xiaomi imagined.

In her previous life, she was busy surviving, taking care of her younger siblings and the elderly headmaster in the orphanage. She had never been in a relationship and had no extra time.

It's not that she hasn't been envious of seeing sweet couples in movies or TV.

If one day, there is such a person who loves her, is willing to shelter her from the wind and rain, and is willing to take the burden on her shoulders.Then the first thing she had to do was to hide in her arms and cry bitterly.Why are you crying, crying about her grievances, crying about the injustice of fate...

But now, across time and space, finally such a man shook her hand.

This person is handsome, educated, good character, and treats her well, but why is her heart hanging higher and higher, hanging in mid-air and unable to fall, apprehensive and panicky.

It seems that it will fall down at any time, breaking a heart into pieces, and it can no longer be put together into a complete shape...

"Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going? Like a free bird, resting on this branch of mine for a while, or are you going to build a nest here again?"

Xiaomi gently pulled out his hand, his voice was calmer than ever before.

Feng Jian's eyelashes moved, and his fingers slowly clenched into fists, but he didn't speak.

Xiaomi's heart sank a little bit, the corners of his mouth relaxed, and a soft sigh sounded in the room.

"Good night, sweet dreams."

The door shaft that hasn't been oiled for a long time is a bit rough, which I didn't feel in the past, but tonight, such a "creaking" sound, in Xiaomi's ears, felt as sad as crying.

On the roof, Gao Ren looked at the lonely girl who passed through the corner door, stared angrily at the ridge below him, and kicked a piece of gray tile ruthlessly.

Lao Yang didn't know which corner flashed out, and he sighed helplessly.

Did he underestimate the heart and courage of the girl from the Lu family, or overestimate the courage of the one in the room?

At night, it was quiet and silent. During the day, the warm north wind became cold again, whizzing through the mountains, forests and courtyards.

It's the season when it's warm and cold.The little beasts and plants, who had firmly believed that spring had arrived, were blown by the cold wind and shrank back again.

Let's wait a little longer, until the spring breeze really becomes warm, and there is no change in the slightest...

No matter how painful and cruel the night is, when the day comes, the world is still full of traffic and a whole new world.

Shopkeeper Chen sent over twenty bolts of sea cloth, and by the way cut off a shed of green vegetables. It is said that the money from the settlement was barely enough to exchange for these sea cloths.Xiaomi didn't feel distressed, as soon as the news came out, everyone inside and outside Anzhou knew that Haibu was the key to the vegetable shed, and he was afraid that Haibu would rise to a frighteningly high price.

Now it’s good to save some of them, whether it’s for your own use or for the villagers.

But Xiaomi thought about it for a long time, and found that even though his vegetable garden continued to sell vegetables to earn money, the savings in the account still did not increase.

The first batch of vegetable gold is the principal invested in growing vegetables, the second batch of vegetable gold is used to buy Haibu, and the third batch of vegetable gold is paid for buying potato seeds.

Maybe the fourth or fifth batch of vegetable gold is a surplus, but the situation is changing. Who knows if the vegetable price will suddenly drop, or another heavy snow will cut off all the vegetable seedlings' survival.

In short, it is still necessary to find another source of income.

Of course, she won't admit it, she probably wants to get busy and don't want to think about too many useless things...

But making money is easier said than done.

Moreover, given the current situation of the Lu family, a low-investment, high-yield, and unobtrusive transaction is required.It is very difficult to meet these requirements...

On the lunch table, Xiaomi kept frowning while cooking rice, forgetting to add vegetables.

At the dinner table, Xiaomi was picking up salted beans that she almost never touched, and didn't eat a bite.

At the breakfast table, Xiaomi brought the porridge bowl, but didn't take the spoon, so he went to get the spoon later, and returned the chopsticks to the stove...

In this way, even a person as thick-hearted as Lu Wu also noticed her strangeness.What's more, Feng Jian's master and servant are like human beings, as well as Father Lu and Boss Lu.

Today, after lunch again, Lu Wu couldn't bear it any longer when he saw Xiaomi remove the dining table and almost sent the dishes to the latrine.

He strode to catch up with the girl, and shouted in a low voice, "Sister, did someone bully you? Tell me, second brother will vent your anger on you!"

As he spoke, he glared viciously at Feng Jian's master and servant who had just walked out of the main room.

Don't think that he is more playful than usual, just treat him as a fool.

These days, something is wrong with the girl, and this kid also looks bad. In the past, when he came across good food, although this kid was not as fierce as Gao Ren, his chopsticks were also ruthless and accurate.In the past few days, he obviously ate less and talked less.

No matter how you look at it, it's because of his guilty conscience, if he didn't bully his own sister, who else?

Feng Jian didn't seem to see what Lu Wu meant, he just stood quietly under the eaves, letting the sun shine on his face, his expression unpredictable.

Lu Xiaomi just glanced at it, and suddenly shrank into a ball in his heart.Some grievances and stubbornness, but more of a loss...

"Second brother, you think too much, no one bullies me. I'm worried about how to make more money?"

"Make money? Don't you have a vegetable garden at home, why are you short of money?"

Hearing what the girl said, Lu Wu scratched his head in embarrassment.He is good at beating, killing and killing, but when it comes to making money, the only thing he thinks of is to find a fake village and eat it...

"The weather is getting warmer, and the food is not so expensive." Lu Xiaomi smiled and teased his brother, "Besides, it is always useful to earn more money. Big brother and you don't do scientific research, so you must marry me a good sister-in-law. , give birth to a few little nephews and nieces to play with."

Lu Wu blushed when he heard this, and waved his hands again and again, "Let's go to elder brother for this matter, he is the biggest, naturally he will marry a wife first, I... I haven't played enough, I don't want to find someone to take care of me."

After all, he seemed to be afraid that his sister would give him a daughter-in-law immediately, and ran away like flying.

Leaving behind, Lu Xiaomi slowly put away the smile on his face, looked at Feng Jian under the eaves, nodded lightly as a greeting, and went out the door.

In the vegetable garden outside the Lu family's wall, some industrious villagers strolled over to help open the straw and cotton curtains. The ivory-colored vegetable shed is very eye-catching in the morning light.

Xiaomi opened the corners of the vegetable sheds one by one to see the growth of vegetable seedlings and corn seedlings.The weather is getting warmer, the ground temperature is rising, and the bottom soil layer is covered with horse manure. Even at night, the young crops are not afraid of the small-scale cooling.

In a few more days, at noon when the sun is at its fullest, the sea cloth can even be lifted, allowing the young crops to directly sunbathe.

The villagers followed behind Xiaomi, a little shy at first, but after a few words, the conversation started and they asked how to grow vegetables.

Millet doesn't hide its secrets. From how to breed, to sowing, the ratio of subsoil, and finally the price of Haibu, it is very detailed.

While the villagers are happy that growing vegetables is not as troublesome as they imagined, they are also worried that Haibu is too expensive, and even if they save money at home, they may not be able to buy a horse back.

Although Xiaomi had stockpiled dozens of sea cloths at home, he didn't talk about preparing for everyone.

As the old saying goes, promote Mi En, fight Mi Qiu.

Some are good, if you let them ask for them, they will be regarded as habits. In the end, if something goes wrong once, I am afraid that no one will remember all the good things before.

Human nature is a complex thing regardless of past lives or present lives.One hundred minus one is not equal to 99 in many cases, but equal to zero.

Of course, the Haibu in the Lu family's warehouse will eventually be distributed to the villagers, but how to divide it, whether to sign an IOU, or whether the vegetables grown by the villagers will be divided into the Lu family's money, will have to wait until the first month of next year. .

Sure enough, the usually quick-witted little daughter-in-law was worried for a while, and then she started to glance left and right at Xiaomi's face, and wanted to say something, but was frightened back by the man's stare.

Xiaomi didn't seem to notice anything, just happened to find the shed of the corn seedlings, she smiled and said, "The corn seedlings are growing so well, they will be planted in the ground in half a month, right? I don't know if shopkeeper Chen can help me put Did you buy the ground eggs?"

Someone asked curiously, "Where did shopkeeper Chen bring the eggs back from? Is it very far away?"

Xiaomi nodded, "It's far away. I heard it was shipped from Dongzhou in the south of Kyoto. In Dongzhou, these eggs are not expensive. But including the cost of traveling and horses, a pound of eggs costs an average of ten renminbi." It's a catty."

"So expensive?"

The villagers were surprised, and counted with their fingers, "How many catties of eggs will be used for [-] mu of land, ten Wen per catty, how much money will it cost?"

Today is the holiday of the Lu family's literacy class. There are only three days in January. It's rare that the naughty boys don't have to get up early to endorse, and they are laughing and playing with their parents behind their buttocks.Seeing the appearance of the old man snapping his fingers at this moment, it was really embarrassing, so he clamored to help settle the score.

Xiaomi naturally agreed, and told them while he was busy.

At least [-] catties of potato seeds are required for one mu of land, for a total of [-] mu of land, each catty of potato seeds costs ten cents.

The naughty boys broke a branch, squatted on the ground to write and draw, and scratched the back of their heads from time to time in embarrassment, everyone who watched laughed.

Fortunately, after all, they didn't spend so much time reading books. After holding back for a quarter of an hour, they finally figured it out.

"90 taels!"

"Yes, it's 90 taels!"

The villagers stared when they heard this, and subconsciously looked at Xiaomi.

Xiaomi nodded with a smile, "That's right, I'll make fried dough twists this afternoon, and each of you will reward you with one twist!"

"Thank you, sister Xiaomi!"

"Thank you little sir!"

The mischievous millets cheered, all of them overjoyed.

The villagers looked at each other, but there was some guilt in their expressions.The Lu family's grain seedlings were given to them, so they needed to buy additional ground egg seeds, and they would have to spend 90 taels of silver in no time!
There are a total of ten vegetable sheds in this vegetable garden, four of them planted corn seedlings for them, and one planted cucumber and pea seedlings, and only five vegetable sheds were promising.No matter how expensive the price is, you can't help spending so much...

They wanted to say that they didn't want corn seedlings anymore, but they couldn't say that, after all, it was related to the half-year ration of the whole family.
