pastoral life

Ever since I talked to shopkeeper Zhu about the profit sharing of Tangpinzhai that day, Mingzhu hadn't been there again. After all, it was too big a matter and shopkeeper Zhu couldn't be the master. It's normal for the big boss to think about it.Mingzhu didn't expect to be successful this time, so she just asked a tentative question to explore the market, and if he succeeded, he would make money.

That is, the funds for lemon cultivation in the later period have not yet been raised.

At the beginning, he wanted to use lemons as a cost to invest in Tangpinzhai. It was not a temporary idea, but now he has nothing but technical personnel and post-management personnel other than land and seedlings. All these have to be piled up with money, which can be saved The vast majority of them have been used to buy barren slopes, where is the money to toss these things.

If Tangpinzhai can help to cultivate the barren slopes, Mingzhu feels that even if he doesn't get [-]% of the profits, he will be happy to nod immediately.

"I told Zhao Juren about the barren slope. There is no problem with the price, but we have to take in an extra family."

"What's wrong?"

After the money was in hand, Mingzhu handed over all the bank notes to Wang Mingchuan and asked him to come forward to contact Zhao Juren. Now that Wang Mingchuan is also famous for juren, it is more appropriate for him to handle this matter than others, so Mingzhu finished eating. Wang Mingchuan was kicked out after breakfast, and naturally he was left with food at noon, and when he returned home he still smelled heavily of alcohol.

"Did you fall into the wine jar or something, go and change your clothes."

After Wang Mingchuan entered the door, he wanted to hug Mingzhu as usual, but after opening his arms and smelling the smell of alcohol on his body, he felt reluctant, so he hurried back to his room to take a shower and change clothes, and after a long tidying up, he got rid of the smell on his body. Mingzhu took it While wiping Wang Mingchuan's hair, Jinzi asked about the progress of today's matter.

"I also met this family. It was Zhao Juren who stayed to guard the mountain earlier. They stayed in the village for most of their lives. Now they are too old to move to the city to serve. Zhao Juren means that they still want to guard the mountain. The body deed is transferred to us, and when we get old, we will help arrange the affairs after death."

"But the family has a child?"

"Where is the family that gave birth to a child? Zhao Juren was also a person who passed through the Shandang area before. It became easier after he passed the exam. This family was a long-term worker hired by the family earlier. Later, because the field was about to be washed away by the flood He sold himself into slavery only when he was dependent on him."

"Who are there?"

"The old couple are about sixty years old, and there is also a son who was originally serving in Zhao Juren's house, but if the parents are transferred to our side, we have to bring him along."

Mingzhu pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"The old couple are looking after those things growing on the barren slope?"

"I've never heard of this before. I think the things on the barren slope should be grown by myself. The old man usually goes to patrol the mountains. He has been working with this fruit tree for so many years, even if he hasn't taken care of it. How can he grow it?" If you want that thing to grow better, you can see some ways."

In the countryside, the elderly are treasures. There is no serious knowledge of farming. Everything is developed and improved step by step based on the experience passed down from the ancestors. The old people have lived on this land for most of their lives. Every plant, tree, and flower Every bird is very familiar, and it is also the first time for both laymen to think about the cultivation of lemons, but it is much better than Mingzhu for these two people to take care of them.

"It may not be possible to ask something from the old man. How is the character of this family? If they are able to live well, receiving our family will also be a great help."

"I've heard the elders in the village say about such a family. The old man is dull and unsociable, but he is not a villain."

"It's okay to be a bit bored, so let's settle down the barren slope with Zhao Juren, and pay the money tomorrow to avoid long nights and dreams."

While wiping her wet hair with Wang Mingchuan, Mingzhu explained the follow-up details clearly. Now that it’s getting colder today, the stove in the room has been burning all the time, but it’s not unbearable, but the hair can’t be kept wet like this. Jinzhou City passes through Shandang This area is very humid, and rheumatism is very common among the elderly, so adults will teach children from an early age that they should not immediately soak their hair in cold water when they are hot, and they are not allowed to sleep.

"Take a break when your hands are tired, and then do it when the room is warmer for a while. It's okay."

Wang Mingchuan stretched out his hand and pulled Mingzhu to surround him, and Mingzhu also nestled into Wang Mingchuan's arms along the way.In the past six months, the difference in body size between the two has become more and more obvious. It's not that Mingzhu has a bad appetite and grows slowly, but that no matter how much he eats, he looks like a disaster. Wang Mingchuan was very worried about this and asked someone to help him take a look. , it can be concluded that the spleen and stomach are deficient and cold, and only one old doctor thinks that the residual poison in the body may not be cleared.

"I heard Mr. Jiang say that Jiang Cheng is quite capable. He will bring you to his door in a few days to let him have a look. It's not a big deal that he doesn't gain weight like this."

The people in Wang Mingchuan's arms couldn't feel at ease. When Mingzhu first married earlier, she looked thin and weak. It could be said that it was because everyone in Xue didn't raise her well, but after more than half a year, she ate and drank enough every day. Why is there still no flesh growth? Not only that, but the complexion also looks abnormal.

"Do you think you are singing on that stage? Someone like me will poison me. It's just that my physique is so bad. Hurry up and calm down. If you really want to improve, I don't think it's just a matter of taking medicine. It’s normal to exercise more on weekdays.”

Wang Mingchuan put his hand into Mingzhu's robe seriously to help him exercise, but Mingzhu couldn't help but let him make trouble, and in the end both of them were sweating. There are people serving the water bucket, so it's okay to wash it a little more.

Mingzhu didn't have the energy to make dinner because of the quarrel for too long. Fortunately, Han and Cuiqiao were able to arrange a table of food without any problem. He didn't dare to refuse, but he couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the family and finally sat down.There are restrictions, but the master's family is a bunch of children who are in charge of affairs, and it is easier to get close to other masters than other masters, so after chatting, they let go a lot. Looking at the few plates in front of her, she ate very little, but Mingzhu didn't persuade her, she just winked and asked Wang Dahe and Wang Xiaohu to help with the dishes.

"There are no big rules in our family, as long as we work together, you have seen the situation of the Wang family. In the future, this family will have to rely on you to take care of it. When my name Chuan is not at home, the younger ones will often have to take care of me." with you."

"The master's words are to detract from our blessings. It is our duty as servants to take care of the little master. Even if you don't tell me, my whole family will remember it in my heart."

"That's not a good way to see each other. The days to come will be long, so what can you do if you are so restrained? Come and eat, do you want me to leave some for you to pack and take back to eat?"

The Wang family's coaxing made Wu Laosan's family dizzy. Since then, they have realized that they followed the right master at the beginning, and they will serve them more attentively in the future. San's attitude can be seen: at first she didn't dare to get close to such a big Wu Laosan, but in just one month, she dared to sit on his shoulders and go out to buy candied haws. It can be seen from the heart.

After getting the land deed on the barren slope, Mingzhu asked Wang Mingchuan to lead the family into the house to have a look, and because she was afraid that her eyesight would not be enough, Mingzhu specifically asked Wu Laosan to help take a look.Wu Laosan used to be the son of a wealthy family, and he still has good eyesight when he is used to dealing with servants. Moreover, he has experienced the ups and downs of his family because of the disaster of the master's family, so he can be regarded as a man of insight. Therefore, if Mingzhu and Wang Mingchuan are not sure about some important matters, they will go to Wu Laosan's family for advice on who the children are. Anyone who can answer will be answered one by one, and some things that need attention on weekdays will be reminded actively, which is very important to save the Wang family from taking many detours.

"Look at him, he's kind, but this guy is a bit boring, he can't ask a word for a long time, and it will be difficult for the master to ask him to help guide newbies in the future."

Wu Laosan talked about his own opinion, and Mingzhu didn't worry about it too much. After all, Huang Po had already completed the original plan when he got it, and the accompanying technicians were a good thing that fell from the sky. Ye Duoyi came out to make trouble for himself, so he still stayed on the barren slope, and Mingzhu also plunged into the barren slope to toss lemons from that day on.

"Big brother, there is a martial arts gym on the opposite street, can you ask me to go in and learn kung fu?"

The two brothers Wang Xiaohu and Wang Dahe have been running around in the city since they entered the city. At first they were timid and afraid of going to the wrong place, so they dared to hang around near the door of their house. Marching in the streets and alleys, if Mingzhu hadn't repeatedly emphasized that the two of them should not delay their studies, it would be certain that they would not be home all day long.

"Why do you feel like you are harming other people's martial arts today?"

Wang Mingchuan had just come back from socializing outside, Mingzhu was of course not home at Chuanshandang, Wang Xiaohu finally saw someone who could make the decision, who cares who is better at talking, he just rushed forward and tugged at his elder brother's robe and rolled around .

"How can it be a disaster? The boy's father in Donglai is the master in the martial arts gym. He asked me to go inside to have a look. Brother, you didn't see it. Those punches were amazing. Throwing down such a thick stone slab can break it in half!"

Wang Mingchuan ignored him, the child got messed up, grabbed Wang Mingchuan's robe and didn't let go, stomped his feet anxiously and kept begging, but Wang Mingchuan just ignored him, he glanced at Wang Dahe and stared at him before asking seriously :

"You both want to go?"

"Correct!"

Wang Xiaohu quickly agreed, but Wang Dahe was still a little nervous, he thought that he would have to spend money to enter the martial arts hall, although his family is more affluent now, but he was still reluctant to spend such casual money, so even though he wanted to go in his heart, Wang Dahe still gritted his teeth I don't want to say, I just want to go back to my room to review the books and test the students.

"If you really want to go, go."

Mingzhu entered the house at some point, and seeing Wang Dahe's appearance, she knew that the child was concerned about money. After finally finding someone Dahe liked, he was willing to spend money. This child is so sensible, which ten-year-old doll Every day thinking about earning money to support the family, their family has not reached the point where they can't get rid of the pot, and the days are getting better and better, Wang Dahe's temperament is also time to change.

"It doesn't matter how much money you have, if you can really learn the skills, me and your elder brother are willing to spend it. Just remember, if you want to learn, you have to work hard. If you want me to know that you go there to waste your time and burn Money, see if I don’t lock you up and starve for a few meals!”

"it is good!"

The child joyfully ran to wash his paws and change his clothes, and when passing by Xiao Huang who was lying on his stomach, he teased him obnoxiously, causing Xiao Huang to chase him all over the yard before he ran away grinning.

"You go too, you're covered in dirt, go and change into something clean."

Mingzhu patted Wang Dahe on the head, and the latter nodded and followed Wang Xiaohu.

"You just dote on them too much, how can you say yes with one mouth?"

"It's rare for Dahe to meet someone he likes, can you not let him go? Dahe is gone, are you willing to let Xiaohu look on?"

Wang Mingchuan turned his head, anyway, he just couldn't see Mingzhu doting on others.

"What kind of awkwardness is this? Go for a walk. I'm exhausted after working outside all day. Go back to the room and help me squeeze my body."

Mingzhu walked towards the bedroom on her own regardless of whether the people behind her followed or not. Someone smiled seriously and walked over in two or three steps and took Mingzhu's hand and held it in his palm.

"Mingzhu has worked hard for the family these few days, and her husband needs to take good care of her."

"Yes, go and boil water and wait for me to take a bath—the bastard put me down!"

Mingzhu yelled to beat Wang Mingchuan, but the latter had no reason to let go of him, so he ran all the way back to the bedroom to take care of him.
