The next morning, Song Yuehua went to the fields to help. Planting potatoes was much less troublesome than planting cotton.

When Qin Xiuxiu saw Song Yuehua coming, she took her to see the land that bordered the South Courtyard.

"We dug a lot of bricks when the weather was good, and recently when I had some free time, I called them over to build the wall."

As she spoke, Qin Xiuxiu gestured to the wall in front of her and said, "Boss, what do you think of this height?"

These walls were built to prevent fire.

Song Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "The height is good. We can clear a path along the wall."

Tan Xiuxiu nodded and remembered it.

On the way back, Tan Xiuxiu chatted, "I heard that Yao Er is pregnant again."

"Pregnant again?"

Song Yuehua was a little surprised. This Yao Er really had a physique that was easy to get pregnant.

The two walked on the ridge of the field, talking as they walked.

Tan Xiuxiu said, "The boss was not at home a while ago, and Tian came to report the news, so she could only find my house."

"What about Yao Er's pregnancy?"

"It wasn't just this one. Several farmhands in the South Courtyard wanted to squeeze people into the Baozi room. Yao Er was so angry that he asked Grandma Xi to come over several times. Baozi lost his temper in front of everyone, and the matter was finally dropped."

Tan Xiuxiu didn't say anything else, but leaned over to Song Yuehua's ear and whispered, "I heard from Tian that all this was instigated by old man Ren."

Song Yuehua thought for a moment and asked, "What benefit does Old Man Ren get from doing this?"

"I think it's for my eldest daughter-in-law." said Tan Xiuxiu.

"Aunt Shu?" Song Yuehua asked, "Didn't she hit Old Man Ren with a brick?"

Qin Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, one should be a little ruthless. Since that incident, the Ren family dare not provoke her at will, and even Old Man Ren has to consider her expression."

"Ms. Shu knew that she couldn't get into the compound, so she wanted to work in the South Courtyard. Don't you think Old Man Ren would have to go to great lengths to get her in?"

"That's not right," Song Yuehua was a little confused, "How can encouraging others to put people in the bun room give Shushi a job?"

Tan Xiuxiu whispered, "He asked the farmhands to fill in the gaps, and gave advice to Yao Er. Do you think he was trying to please Yao Er?"

Although Yao Er doesn't care about things, at least he has a son by his side and she is the woman that Baozi sleeps with.

With the help of old man Ren's clever ideas, it is indeed easy to get someone to do the work.

Song Yuehua was deeply impressed.

"Aunt Tian is really amazing. She discovered even such things." Song Yuehua said.

The two walked around the field again.

Wu Yinglan ran back and forth several times carrying the bucket of water.

"How is Wu Yinglan doing at work?" Song Yuehua asked.

Tan Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Very good, she does whatever you ask her to do, she is willing to work hard and not lazy."

"That's good," Song Yuehua said, "I remember her long-term employment contract hasn't been signed yet. Come over to sign it tonight."

"Wu Yinglan."

Tan Xiuxiu shouted.

Wu Yinglan trotted over carrying an empty bucket, "Boss, what can I do for you?"

"The boss wants you to sign a long-term employment contract tonight." Tan Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Wu Yinglan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly, "Boss, I... I... thank you so much, Boss, thank you so much, Manager Qin. I'll go tell the boss... Ah, no, I have to work first, I'll talk to you later..."

Seeing how happy she was, Song Yuehua smiled and said, "It's okay, go and announce the good news first."

"Thank you, boss!" Wu Yinglan ran quickly with the load on her shoulder.

Song Yuehua looked at Wu Yinglan's back and said to Tan Xiuxiu, "You will have to work hard next."

The long-term workers who live in the terraced houses also live with their families. On normal days, short-term workers are already scrambling for jobs, let alone long-term workers.

Now that Wu Yinglan has signed the contract as a long-term worker, the others will certainly have some ideas.

They will naturally come to Tan Xiuxiu.

After hearing what Song Yuehua said, Tan Xiuxiu laughed and said, "That's nothing."

Compound.

Song Yuehua told Liu Xue that Tang had to take a month off.

"One month?" Liu Xue whispered, "I heard someone said something happened to Zhang Rushan? Is he okay?"

"It's okay. Don't spread it. It would be bad if Grandma Jin heard it, okay?" Song Yuehua said.

Liu Xue nodded.

The compound is mainly composed of pig pens and chicken pens.

The 100 piglets we bought in September are growing well now.

Grandma Xi checks the pigs every now and then. Liu Xue has always done a good job in hygiene. As long as the pigs are not sick and can eat and sleep well, there will be no big problem.

Just when Song Yuehua was talking to Liu Xue, Zhang came over in a hurry.

"Boss, is Rushan in trouble?"

Song Yuehua said, "Rushan is fine. I left Aunt Tang here. Uncle Erniu has already arrived home. You will see him when you go back."

"That's good." Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

Song Yuehua asked them, "Who spread the news that Zhang Rushan was in trouble?"

"Several women in the village came to ask me, and I don't know who spread the news," said Zhang.

In the afternoon, Song Yuehua went to Zhou's house.

At this time, only Zhang was at home with her pregnant belly.

When I asked Zhang about the rumor, he knew nothing about it.

"Daya, the doctor said that I should take good care of this baby. I rarely go to the village on weekdays and just do housework at home." Zhang said apologetically.

Unable to get any news from the Zhou family, Song Yuehua went back to cook.

I made Dabao his favorite braised pork in the evening. Xiaoyu didn't seem to be in a very good mood. He ate little and didn't talk much.

"Let's go to the county town together tomorrow." Song Yuehua said.

Xie Yu's eyes lit up, "Will I go tomorrow too?"

Song Yuehua nodded and asked Bai Shu to take over the class for a few days and stay in the county for two days. "

Xie Yu's face turned red. "I just need to take a look at him and know that he is okay."

Dabao asked, "Sister, how many days will you be gone this time?"

"You go with me." Song Yuehua said.

Dabao's eyes lit up, "Sister, can I come too?"

"Yes, don't you want to go?" Song Yuehua said with a smile.

"I want to go, I want to go," Dabao scratched his nose, "Big sister, why are you suddenly so nice to me?"

Song Yuehua touched his head and said, "Zhang Rushan has found a very capable person to be his guard. I will take you to broaden your horizons."

Dabao turned around and ran to Song Yuehua and hugged her back, "Sister, you are the best sister."

After dinner, Dabao didn’t go out to play, but climbed onto the kang bed and packed his clothes.

"Big sister, how many days are we staying this time? Three days or four days?"

"Two sets are enough," Song Yuehua said, "If they are willing to teach you a few tricks, you can stay longer. If they are unwilling, it is not good to force them. Don't you think so?"

Dabao sat cross-legged on the kang, his hands crossed on his chest, looking thoughtful.

"I'll figure out a way to do that myself."

Song Yuehua, "..."
