Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 435 The Harvest Case (1)
Time flies, and it is late summer and early autumn in a blink of an eye, and the weather is getting cooler.

At this time, the pears, plums and grapes in the orchard are also ripe.Because the advertisements for apricots and peaches were well played before.Before the fruit was ripe, someone greeted them in advance.

It is impossible for Li Zhu to buy these fruits by himself, so he wholesales them to some vendors at a price slightly lower than the retail price.

On the day of fruit picking, many villagers came to help. Baskets of big yellow pears and baskets of purple-red plums were picked, weighed, and then carried to ox carts and donkey carts.These vendors are cash settlements.The villagers watched these people enter the yard of Li Zhu's house with bulging money bags, and they were very angry.

When someone saw Cai Cheng, he deliberately said to him: "Da Chengzi, look at how prosperous his life is, you won't regret it later, if Ah Zhu really becomes your daughter-in-law, it's not all your family's. "

Cai Cheng laughed dryly. He had thought about this problem before, but was quickly pointed out by his son: "Father, it's good that you always think about it. Do you think that with Li Zhu's personality, if she really married us? My dear, can we get a little bit of a bargain? Don't forget, people don't even buy it from their own parents, they don't care about filial piety, virtuous celebrities, and their elder brother is so tight on her. ..."

Cai Cheng was like waking up from a dream.That's right, if Li Zhu married his family, not to mention they won't get any advantage, maybe even the eldest son will be brought into a relationship with them.No, he has already begun to grow up.

These villagers all came to help, and after Li Zhu finished his work, he gave each of them a basket of fruit.After a few excuses, everyone accepted it.

Each of the children who watched the excitement took a big bag with their clothes.

Li Zhu took the opportunity to say: "You see, I am not reluctant, but I am afraid that you will spoil the unripe fruit. When it is ripe, I will let you eat your fill. In the future, don't pick fruits mischievously."

The children nodded indiscriminately, swearing that they hadn't stolen it, saying that they were afraid of being bitten by Xiaobai.The adults were listening and couldn't help laughing.

After a busy day, Li Zhu, Xiaochun and Li Sanjie were all exhausted, so they had a casual meal.Xiaochun made a fruit platter, and Li Zhu and Third Sister ate and chatted.

The pears are sweet and juicy, the plums are soft and sweet, and the grapes are even more irresistible.

The two were eating fruit when Aunt Li came to the door with a bundle.

The two sisters hurriedly stood up to say hello.

Aunt Li put the burden on the table, squeezed a piece of pear, and said while eating: "Azhu, this is last month's rent and dividends, because your uncle's incident delayed for a few days."

Li Zhu smiled and said: "It's okay." Aunt Li is very reasonable, even relatives, she can clearly divide money, rent and dividends are paid when they are due, and they will not delay for a day.

"You count."

Li Zhu opened it and took a casual look, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Why are there so many?" There are more than 30 taels in it.

Aunt Li said: "It can't be so much. The rent of the two shops, plus the dividends, have all been rushed together."

Li Zhu collected the money.He also asked how the business of Aunt Li's restaurant was doing.

Aunt Li said with a smile: "Business has been good recently." After Wu Chengming died, the Wu family restaurant was also sold.The person who took over opened a shop, and the business of the Yang Family Restaurant lost a competitor.Business is naturally much better than before.In addition, the river in Qinghe County has been dredged, and the number of business travelers by water and land is also increasing day by day.Even the restaurant business has advanced to a higher level.

Aunt Li chatted with her two nieces for a while, then she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Pan was taken by the yamen for questioning a few days ago. She actually talked to that Wu Chengming, who suffered a thousand knives, came together to harm our family!" Aunt Li couldn't help being angry when she mentioned this matter.
