Blessed Daughter

"Is my physical condition okay?" Zhu Zongyu asked.

"If you can't walk, you can just tell me, as long as you do what you can, it's fine if you don't force yourself." Wei Ruo replied.

"good."

So Wei Ruo got up and took Zhu Zongyu to the farmland in Zhuangzili.

The path by the edge of the field is fairly flat, Wei Ruo's pace is not fast, and Zhu Zongyu can barely keep up with the current situation.

Zhu Zongyu looked at the vast fields and scattered people busy in the fields, and then at the people walking in front of him.

For some reason, I felt extraordinarily calm.

It is not that Zhu Zongyu has never seen farmland and farmers before, but in the past, he looked down from the angle, but today with Mr. Xu, it is a different angle of observation.

All the people I met along the way greeted Wei Ruo enthusiastically and called "My boss" with a smile on my face.

Just by listening to their voices, Zhu Zongyu could feel the status of this club in their hearts.

Among them was a woman who was sitting on a field ridge with a two or three-year-old child in her arms, while her husband was busy in the nearby field.

The man's hands were red from the cold, his nose was also red, and he kept exhaling white air from his mouth, but with a smile on his face, he looked back at his wife and children behind him from time to time.

When Wei Ruo approached, the man stopped and bowed to Wei Ruo: "Master."

The little boy in the woman's arms also smiled at Wei Ruo, and shouted childishly: "Good boss."

The voice is soft and waxy, and the little red face is indescribably cute.

This kind of smile is very contagious, not only Wei Ruo, but also Zhu Zongyu can't help but look soft when seeing it.

Not only that, Zhu Zongyu also found that the little boy and the couple did not show any expressions of panic when they saw themselves with bandages on their faces.

He knew it was probably because he followed Young Master Xu, and out of trust in Young Master Xu, they also naturally believed that he, a stranger who dressed up scary, was not a bad person.

Wei Ruo walked up to the little boy and gave him a piece of dried sweet potato.

The little boy took the dried sweet potato and was reluctant to eat it by himself, so he stuffed it into his mother's mouth first.

The mother stuffed the dried sweet potato back into the little boy's mouth again, and said with a smile that mother would not eat it.

Then the little boy gnawed on it in small mouthfuls.

Wei Ruo smiled, stuffed two more dried sweet potatoes into the boy's mother's hand, then turned and continued walking.

Seeing Wei Ruo's smile, Zhu Zongyu felt that his smile was warmer than that of a little boy.

Zhu Zongyu followed slowly: "A few days ago, I heard from Guanshi Yu that you protected them and allowed them to survive this particularly cold winter. What I saw with my own eyes today is indeed the case."

"I'm not that great. I hired them. They wanted to work for me. If they were lazy, I would drive them away mercilessly. We each get what we need, not me doing good deeds." Wei Wei If answer.

"But you are more capable than ordinary people, and you are more willing to help people in difficulty. If you only have ideas but no ability, in my opinion, you are mediocre; if you have ability but no heart, you are like Boss Fan , and Mr. Xu has both." Zhu Zongyu commented on Wei Ruo.

"Young Master Zhu thinks too much of me. I just love money, and I just think about how to maximize my profits. Boss Fan and I are the same kind of people." Wei Ruo said.

"If Mr. Xu only loved money, he wouldn't have saved me." Zhu Zongyu was very sure of his judgment.

"Maybe I was betting that you are a rich man, and that saving you would bring you good returns. But it turns out that I was right." Wei Ruo replied.

"Why does Mr. Xu deliberately discredit yourself? You are not a person who only wants to make money." Zhu Zongyu said firmly.

"Whatever you want."

Whatever this man thinks of her, anyway, when he recovers from his injury, there will be no relationship between them.

The two walked for a while, and there were bursts of unpleasant smells in the air.

"What are they doing?" Zhu Zongyu asked.

"We are fertilizing the soil. Most of the farming work has stopped at this time, but we can do some things to improve the soil. When we sow next spring, we will have a chance to have a good harvest." Wei Ruo explained.

"What fat?"

"Farmyard manure, and a mixture of rotten melons, fruits, vegetables, stalks, and vegetation." Wei Ruo explained, knowing that Zhu Zongyu smelled bad, so he added, "To them, these foul-smelling things are life. hope, from rot to new life."

"From decay to new life..." Zhu Zongyu said thoughtfully.

Wei Ruo smiled and continued to lead Zhu Zongyu for a while.

Considering Zhu Zongyu's physical condition, Wei Ruo didn't leave for too long, and took him back to the hut where he lived after two quarters of an hour.

Then Guan Yu brought today's medicine.

Smelling the bitter taste of the medicine, Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo: "Young Master Xu, there is still something I gave to that little boy just now."

"You mean dried sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, that should be very sweet, I want to taste it after drinking the medicine."

"Can."

Wei Ruo generously took out a piece of dried sweet potato from the bag and placed it next to Zhu Zongyu's medicine bowl.

Zhu Zongyu then picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in small sips.

It wasn't that he drank slowly because he was afraid of hardship, it was that his face was bruised and he couldn't make large movements.

After drinking the medicine, he put the dried sweet potato to his mouth and took a small bite.

"Sure enough, it's very sweet." Zhu Zongyu looked very satisfied.

Seeing his appearance, Wei Ruo simply gave him two extra yuan.

Zhu Zongyu took out a piece or two of silver and put it on the table: "Since Mr. Xu is looking for money, it's not good for Mr. Xu to go against his purpose of doing things."

Of course, Wei Ruo took the silver without any politeness.

If you have money, you don't make money, you bastard!

###

After the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, classes were completely suspended, and Mr. Wang Caiwei was leaving early to return to her hometown for the New Year.

Xu Tongzhi's family is also in the same situation. The school is suspended, and the ladies of each family are also free, stopping to help the family prepare for the New Year.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls have to start learning from the mistress of the family to manage the mid-career, especially during the Chinese New Year.

But Wei Ruo didn't intend to follow Yun's to learn these things, not to mention that these few days are the busy time for lo-mei shops, because many people will buy some lo-mei in advance to prepare for the New Year's Eve and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

On the basis of the original, Wei Ruo launched braised duck products: braised duck neck, braised duck wings, and braised duck legs.

Now the sales of braised duck products are better than the original sales of braised pork, and twenty or thirty ducks are sold a day. For this reason, it is not stable enough to go to the vegetable market to buy ducks every morning.

In order to find a suitable supply channel for ducks, Wei Ruo traveled all over the countryside near Fucheng in the past few days, and after some contacts and negotiations, he temporarily decided on several places as duck suppliers.
