Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 246 Another Year of Spring (3)
Yang Mo was busy with the exam, and Li Zhu was not idle either.She first asked Yang Laoshi about buying fruit tree seedlings.According to her original plan, she bought pear trees, apricot trees, jujube trees, peach trees, grape vines and various fruit trees, and planned to plant them in the 300 acres of wasteland.Then she collected the seeds of various flowers and scattered them in front of and behind the house.The low-lying land was also dug deep, preparing to plant lotus flowers and raise fish.As soon as the various plans were launched, the money flowed out like running water.At the time of the seller, she still thought that [-] taels was a huge sum of money, but now that she saw it, she was about to return to the state of abject poverty.

The fruit saplings have been brought over by ox cart by ox cart, and the trees will be planted soon.The Yang family is simply too busy.What's more, with the beginning of spring, there will be more work at home.Li Zhu couldn't drag the whole family to work, so she decided to hire someone to do the work.

Li Zhu asked someone to help plant trees for fifteen yuan a day, and twenty yuan a day for digging ponds.Because there are too many people, we don’t care about meals, and the wages are settled on the same day.As soon as the news came out, many villagers came to inquire.

Li Zhu asked his aunt to help check, and selected a dozen villagers who were not lazy in their work.Those who dig ponds are looking for men, and those who plant trees can be of both sexes, even half-children can do it.When selecting candidates for planting trees, Li Zhu gave priority to recruiting the friends who followed him to release ducks.Yang Dalin, Xiaocao, and Xiaofeng are all here.

However, when picking people, Li Zhu deliberately said: "You must be weaker than adults, so I will start my ugly words. If you are weak and slow to work, I will pay less wages. People like Xiaofeng need less Give some." Everyone felt that as long as they had money, it would be good, and it didn't matter if they took less.

Xiaofeng also had no objection, she felt that if her stepmother didn't object, it would be fine for her to do it for nothing to Li Zhu.

After saying this, Li Zhu pulled Xiaofeng aside, and said quietly: "I said that just now on purpose, I will give you twelve coins in the open, and you keep the remaining three coins for yourself."

Only then did Xiaofeng understand Li Zhu's painstaking efforts, her eyes turned red, she pulled Li Zhu and said emotionally: "Xiaozhu, you are so kind to me. You are the only one who treats me well except my mother."

Li Zhu patted Xiaofeng on the shoulder for a few words of comfort, and told her not to miss the point.Xiaofeng wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

The wasteland in front of Yang's house was full of excitement.Digging the ground, digging ponds, planting trees, and transporting trees are as lively as a vegetable market every day.

When there are too many people, there will be a lot of noise, and Li Zhu is worried that Yang Mo will be disturbed.

But Yang Mo said: "It's okay, I can't hear the sound outside when I start to read. The year's plan lies in the spring, and this can't be delayed. It's just that I can't help you now."

Li Zhu said with a playful smile: "It's okay, cousin, study hard, you will become a high-ranking official in the future, and marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, oops, I will be the close-cousin of a high-ranking official, and I will wear silk and satin every day. Slave calling maidservant." These words were almost the original words of her grandma Liu Shi, and Li Zhu found it funny when she thought about it.Oh, she forgot, it seems that Li Ji will also take the children's test this year.

Yang Mo couldn't help laughing loudly after hearing this.This was just heard by Yang Laoshi who was passing by.He looked at the two of them and said, "What kind of high-ranking official's daughter should I marry? Our family, Ah Mo, wants to find someone who knows everything, Wang Jia Wangfu."

Li Zhu also felt that this was true, so he smiled and echoed, "Uncle is right."

Yang Laoshi glanced at Li Zhu again and walked away.I don't know if it was her illusion, but Li Zhu always felt that his uncle looked at him very strangely recently, as if he was estimating and examining something.
