MTL - The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn-Chapter 27 27
Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Encounter
Li Mei took Li Yu to the east of the village. Walking all the way, Li Yu saw that most of the houses in the east of the village were thatched cottages, "Auntie, their life is very difficult."
Li Mei nodded, "These people are all from the famine, and most of them live on the tenant farmland. The large fertile farmland by the river belongs to the Zhou family and the Xu family. Fortunately, my aunt has you, otherwise I would have to be a tenant farmer. ."
The aunt and nephew were talking and walked to a thatched cottage. Li Mei led Li Yu into the fenced yard.
"Is Xiao An there?" Li Mei called.
Jiang Xiaoan came out of the room with tears on her face, "Aunt Li, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Your sister Xiaoyu said to bring you some rice first, and then it will be deducted from your wages. Where is your mother?"
At this moment, a woman with a sallow complexion came out tremblingly leaning against the wall, "Xiao An, who is looking for you?"
Xiao An hurried over to support his mother, "Mother, it's the aunt and sister of the Li family."
Li Yu handed the rice to Xiao An before leaving, "Auntie, I'm Xiao Yu, Xiao An is going to work at my house tomorrow, I'll bring him some rice first."
"It's Li Mei and Xiaoyu? It's a rare visitor, I haven't seen you for several years."
Li Mei looked at her sallow face and felt a little sad, "Sister Qian, take care of your illness, Xiao An will go to work at my niece's house tomorrow."
Miss Qian gasped, "Thank you for taking care of my little An."
Li Mei smiled at her, "Sister Qian, you can rest well, we'll go back when it's late."
Tears flowed from Mrs Qian's eyes, choked up and nodded, "Okay, Xiao An, hurry up and deliver."
Xiao An sent Auntie Li Yu and nephew to the door, bowed to them, and said with tears, "Thank you Aunt Li, Sister Li."
"It's okay, you go back and take care of your mother." The aunts and nephews walked quickly towards the house.
After going home and having dinner, Li Mei looked at Li Yu and said with a smile: "Yu'er, your uncle and I are looking forward to a place. When the wasteland here is cleared, I will go back to repair the house with your uncle."
"Okay, I'm going to hire a few people to work tomorrow, and you and your uncle will go back and ask someone to repair the house."
"What are you panicking about? It's not bad for the past few days. I have to go to the ground tomorrow morning, so go and rest."
The next morning, when Li Yu and his party arrived in the field, they saw Xiao An already digging in the field and picking up stones. Li Yu quickly stopped him, "Xiao An, go eat quickly."
Xiao An glanced at Li Yu and smiled, "Sister Li, I ate it."
Li Mei looked at him and smiled, "This child is still polite, Ah Qing, take Xiao An to dinner."
"Brother An, come with me!" Li Qing stepped forward and dragged him back home.
"We are late." Chen Yaohui and Mrs Li also came with hoes.
Li Yu saw Chen Yaohui and Mrs. Li also coming, "We just came out, Uncle Chen, Aunt Li, we have to work hard for you."
Li slapped Li Yu with a smile, "This child is always so polite."
Li Yu smiled and said to Chen Yaohui: "Uncle Chen, I want to hire two more people to work so that my aunt can go back to repair the house. I'll take the last salary. Do you think there are suitable people in the village?"
Chen Yaohui thought for a while, "Yes, shall I call you right now?"
"Okay, I'll bother you." Li Yu said with a smile.
Chen Yaohui put down his **** and went to the village, Li Mei said strangely: "You child, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li wiped the sweat from his face, "Eldest sister, while everyone is idle now, hurry up and repair me and listen to my father-in-law. I'll probably be sent to labor again in a few days."
Li Mei frowned and said, "Why do you have to go out to work again? It's really worrying to have it every year for the past few years."
"I heard that it would take a lot of time to build a pier to build a river channel, alas! It's getting harder and harder every year when you have to spend money just to collect some food."
Seeing their frowning faces, Li Yu was also secretly worried, Chen Yaohui came with four men carrying hoes, pointed at the three of them and smiled at Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, these uncles are all good workers in the village. "
Li Yu smiled at several people: "Thank you, uncles, for your hard work."
A tall and sturdy uncle smiled heartily, "What a pain! Having money makes me work from morning to night, haha..."
"Yeah! Thank you very much." Everyone laughed and rolled up their sleeves and got down to work.
Seeing that Li Mei had hired a few more people, thinking that it would cost about 100 yuan a day, she should let Yu'er go to Sanchakou to see and sell those pickles, so she stopped Li Yu, "Yu'er, you should go to Sanchakou. Look at the fork!"
Li Yu took a look, and saw that the few people who came were good at work, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
Li Yu put down his **** and went home. Just after changing his clothes, Zhao Di ran in, "Cousin, there's a guy at the door called Zhuzi who asked for fifty jars of pickles and cowpeas."
"Okay, you bring him in, I'll be right here." Li Yu hurriedly took the pamphlet he got from Li Qing and took it with him. When he came out of the bedroom, he saw that Zhao Di was loading pickles into a bamboo basket with Zhu Zi.
Li Yu also quickly packed two bamboo baskets that were just full. Li Yu put the bamboo baskets on the trolley and said to Zhao Di, got on the car and went to the Shunfeng Inn on Sancha Road with Zhuzi.
Seeing that Li Yu and Zhuzi came together, Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his hands together and looked at the pickles in the basket cheerfully, "Xiaoyu, all the pickles you put in my place have been sold, and the merchants who have tasted them all say yours is from yours. Pickles are delicious."
Li Yu was also happy, "Just like it, Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to bother you."
A stout man walked over quickly and urged, "Old Liu, hurry up, we are going."
"Come, come." Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly took Li Yu to load the pickles onto a mule cart behind.
The man smiled contentedly when he saw the thick hay in the bamboo basket, "Hey! Your family is meticulous, and the pickles you bought last time in Qingshan City were almost broken."
Li Yu replied with a smile: "This is what we should do. Uncle eats my pickles and helps to preach and preach if he thinks it's good. My pickles are called Qingyu pickles, and there are two small peppers on the jar."
"Okay." The man readily agreed and paid the money, shouting loudly at the people in front, "Let's go, guys! Guys..." The convoy moved slowly and gradually moved away.
Li Yu and Shopkeeper Liu returned to the inn, and Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, plus the fifteen cans you put here and the ones you just sold, a total of sixty-five cans of pickles were sold and fifteen cans of pickles were paid for by me. , In addition to the consignment money, I'm looking for you three hundred and seventeen."
"Okay," Li Yu took the copper coins and pointed to the bamboo basket with a smile: "Uncle Liu, I brought ten cans of each item this time, and I'll record them in this booklet. Please sign the booklet for the quantity. ."
Shopkeeper Liu took the booklet and looked at it, and saw that it said ten jars of cowpea sauce on July 20th... and remembered everything clearly, Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "Okay, I've already counted them. Sign it right here!"
Li Yu pointed to the date, "Yes, we will reconcile the account according to this after signing."
Shopkeeper Liu signed at the back, and Li Yu took the booklet, "Uncle Liu, my family is still reclaiming wasteland, so pickles will bother you."
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay, you can go!" Li Yu walked out of the inn, thinking that the oil at home was out of use, and walked quickly towards the town.
Zhang Guixiang leaned against the car window and saw Li Yu coming from the official road, and patted Zhang Guisheng who was dozing against the wall of the carriage, "Brother, look, it's that **** Li Yu."
Zhang Guisheng opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Guixiang, frowning in disgust, "Ignore her, let's go."
"Dachun, stop the car." Zhang Guixiang stopped Dachun, who was driving the car, and pulled Zhang Guisheng, "I won't go, she hit me last time and made my stomach hurt for a long time, brother, you have to vent my anger. "
Zhang Guisheng frowned and looked at Zhang Guixiang, "How are you going to vent your anger? Now that the Zhang and Li families are on the same page, do you think they are still the same as before?"
Zhang Guixiang looked at him and smiled, "Brother, as long as you give her a good face, she will come to flatter you."
Zhang Guisheng was a little smug after hearing this, and remembered that Li Yu blushed and shrank his neck every time he saw him, and felt disgusted. Then he thought of his father's low-pitched pleas to raise money, and felt that he should give her some Look at the face.
