"Let's do this. I'll contact the craftsmen. We don't have to wait for the seedlings to be planted. We can do both at the same time. Let the workers do their work, and we'll plant our own. There's no conflict. But you need to decide where to build the pond."
"That's fine. As for the pool, I think we should build it right there. It won't look too out of place, and there's enough space. I'll just draw up a blueprint and make the pool bigger, with a reservoir. I can install some tanks and have it irrigate automatically, which will be even more convenient."
Luo Shaoze had no objection to any construction method. He nodded after hearing what Li Miaomiao said: "That's fine. You draw the blueprint and I'll have the workers follow it. It's better to get it right the first time, so that we don't have to build more later if it's not enough to pay for it."
"That's right. We'd rather build the pool bigger so it can hold more water. A little bigger doesn't matter, but if it's too big, it would be a waste of time. Brother Luo, please contact the workers. I'll pay whatever the wages are, or even use food to pay for it."
Li Miaomiao had no intention of taking advantage of this, nor was she the kind of person who would be so short-sighted. Luo Shaoze was much more suitable to take care of this matter than her.
"Hey, what's the relationship between me and Pei Guoan? It's just a small matter, just a few words, why do I need you to pay me?"
"No, that won't do. If that's the case, I'd rather pay someone to do it myself. I've already used your land, and they don't know what I'm talking about."
Seeing that Li Miaomiao insisted, Luo Shaoze felt helpless, but he also knew more about Li Miaomiao's character.
"Well, you don't need to pay them. It's not nice to say it, it's easy for people to find fault with you. Otherwise, you can give the workers some food or other ingredients. These days, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy anything."
"No problem. I've specially sent people from the countryside to help transport a lot of food here. We'll use the food as payment when the time comes."
"Let's make it clear. I'll arrange it when I get back tonight."
Luo Shaoze looked at the seedlings planted in the yard. He didn't know if it was because he planted them himself, but he always felt like he couldn't see enough. He wished he could water the seedlings one more time.
Seeing him like this, Li Miaomiao understood his mentality. "Then you just wait. I'll go to the kitchen and make something to eat. It's so late, so I won't bother. We have buns for lunch. I can also make two other dishes and a soup. How about we just eat like this?"
"I don't want to eat here. Just give me some buns and I can eat them on the way."
Luo Shaoze is not an ignorant person. It's okay if Pei Guoan is at home, but he won't eat here if Pei Guoan is not at home. Li Miaomiao is simple-minded and won't think too much about it. He himself doesn't have such thoughts, but he still has to avoid suspicion when necessary.
It doesn't matter to him as a man, but a woman's reputation is very precious. He can't give it more consideration, otherwise he will not be worthy of Pei Guoan's trust in him.
After hearing what Luo Shaoze said, Li Miaomiao realized something and did not keep Luo Shaoze. However, she did not just pack a few buns. Instead, she took out a food box and filled it with not only ten big meat buns for Luo Shaoze, but also a plate of braised beef and a few pork elbows.
Luo Shaoze was not even polite, looking at the food in the food box, with a big smile on his face.
He had no shortage of other things, but he couldn't refuse the delicious food that Li Miaomiao gave him.
"Miaomiao, you are so kind. I will come over to dig the soil for you tomorrow. I promise to clean up the land for you properly. You don't have to worry about anything."
Li Miaomiao found it really funny to see Luo Shaoze like this.
"Thank you so much, Brother Luo. I'm usually busy with things at the factory, so I really just need you to keep an eye on things here. When we're done, I'll make everyone a delicious meal."
"No problem, these are all small matters, just leave them to me, it's not a big deal. Just remember to give me the drawings, and I can definitely do it according to your ideas."
With the delicious food, Luo Shaoze felt energized and kept making promises.
When Pei Guoan came back in the evening, he saw that the light was still on in the room, but Li Miaomiao was nowhere to be found. After looking around, he found Li Miaomiao behind the kitchen, where she was fiddling with the seedlings.
"It's so late, go to bed early. Even if you're growing vegetables, it doesn't have to take one or two days to finish. You're so impatient, what can I say to you?"
"I'm going to rest now. I just want to prepare all the seedlings for tomorrow before going to bed. I have to go to work at the machinery factory. I'll leave everything here to Luo Shaoze. If I don't prepare it in advance, he will definitely not understand it."
"Shao Ze, come here. You've used a lot of food to win him over, haven't you?"
Pei Guoan knew these two people too well. One loved food, and the other was smart and clever and could coax people. It was no surprise that the result was like this.
"This is a must. Brother Luo is such a kind person. Not only is he willing to lend me his yard to grow vegetables, but he also helps me with all the running around. I have to make something delicious to reward him. Not only Brother Luo, but also the workers who will come here to work. I will cook a big meal for everyone to eat and drink well."
Pei Guoan listened: "No, what's going on? What workers?"
"Well, to make watering easier, we plan to build two water towers. That way, we won't have to carry water by the bucketful, which is too much work."
When Pei Guoan heard this, he always felt that something was wrong and it was not as simple as watering.
"real?"
"Why else would I lie to you? It was Brother Luo who reminded me of this idea, and I've already drawn up the blueprints. I'll make some revisions later and give them to Brother Luo so the workers can build it according to the blueprints."
Even Pei Guoan couldn't see what other use Li Miaomiao had for building a water tower, let alone object.
"Repairing a water tower is fine, it's indeed more convenient, but no matter what you do, you have to rest first. Don't stay up late tonight."
"Okay, I'll go to bed now."
Li Miaomiao originally wanted to modify the blueprint of the water tower, but when Pei Guoan urged her, she had to give up and followed Pei Guoan to rest.
Early the next morning, Li Miaomiao was about to get up when she heard a noise outside. When she got up and looked, she saw that it was Luo Shaoze and his workers who had come early in the morning.
"Brother Luo, it's too early."
"I can't sleep anyway, so you might as well come over early." Luo Shaoze said as he waved to the people behind him. A row of workers came out from behind him and went to measure where Luo Shaoze pointed.
Li Miaomiao: ...
Luo Shaoze didn't care when he saw Li Miaomiao go in. He stood there and carefully studied the seedlings planted in the field.
"Not bad, not bad. These seedlings do look much more energetic. They must be alive. There are dewdrops on the leaves." Luo Shaoze said this with some excitement, and his eyes never left the seedlings in the field.
