Qin Nian entered the room and sat in front of Lin Tiancheng: "Master, can you harvest wheat?"
"No, no, no, I don't know how to harvest wheat. What? Do you still want your master to help you harvest wheat?"
Qin Nian chuckled: "Master, I don't need you to cut the wheat. I want to ask you to go to the county town tomorrow and buy me some blue bricks. I want to build the courtyard wall."
Lin Tiancheng nodded approvingly: "It should indeed be built. With a wall, it will not only make it easier to see people standing at attention, but it will also be safer.
Also, let’s build the wall between our house and Geng’s house as well.
A courtyard like this with neither family nor two houses is not very good.
If you build up the middle wall, it will become two independent courtyards."
After a pause, he asked, "Xiao Nian Nian, when you bought the bricks, did you buy your own bricks, or did you buy them together with Geng's?"
Qin Nian sighed: “When we built the house, the stones used for the walls were all picked up by Geng Feng and Uncle Geng. They brought them with us at the beginning.
However, things are different now. If you buy blue bricks from them now, Yu Xiaohan will be very unhappy.
There have to be people in the village who gossip and talk about all kinds of things.
So, there is no need to bring them along. I'm sure Aunt Geng will understand."
Lin Tiancheng nodded: "Xiao Niannian, it doesn't matter whether they understand or not.
Life is long, don’t take other people’s opinions too seriously, otherwise you will live a very tiring life and it won’t be worth it.”
Qin Nian smiled: "Don't worry, Master. I only live for myself and won't live in the eyes and mouths of others."
The weather was hot, so the dough rose quickly and expanded quickly.
While Mrs. Li was making the dough for the steamed buns, Qin Nian put the curtain and the steamer cloth in the pot, and the water was already boiling.
Mrs. Li steamed several pots of white flour buns.
Qin Nian washed several eggplants and a few potatoes and put them in the pot for steaming buns.
Eggplant and potatoes, mixed with egg sauce. Su Bi bought braised pork elbow and cooked pork liver, and cut a large plate full of them.
I made another pumpkin soup and we had lunch together.
Lin Tiancheng said the food was delicious while he was eating, and even said that he would not drink alcohol in the future and would just eat simple meals like this, which was the only way to be responsible for his body.
After finishing the meal, Lin Tiancheng:
"Xiao Niannian, your master is a hard-working man. He will go to the county town and buy the blue bricks."
Qin Nian wanted to give Lin Tiancheng some money, but Lin Tiancheng laughed and said, "Do you think your master is a poor guy?
You guessed wrong, I have money, I have money!"
After saying this, he looked at Su Bi proudly and said, "From now on, all the money on the mountain will be under my control. When I die, Xiao Niannian will be in charge.
You stand back, forever standing aside."
"Master, didn't you say that Tianyuan Sect is located on a high mountain and there is no land to farm? Where does the silver come from?"
Lin Tiancheng glared at Qin Nian in dissatisfaction: "Without land to farm, you can't do business?"
He gestured with his hands: "In the entire Daliang Kingdom, almost every state has a store of our Tianyuan Sect.
Some hired people to run it, and some rented it out. Tianyuanmen is not as rich as a country, but it is rich enough to rival a country. "
After he finished speaking, he patted the place on his body where he hid the banknotes, looking quite arrogant, and after showing off, he walked away.
Qin Nian is a generous girl and doesn't argue over these trivial matters.
Since you have gone to buy blue bricks, don't put it off. Qin Nian went to find the village mason and said he wanted to build a courtyard wall.
The mason hastily agreed: "Okay, I'll go over right away and mix the mud first. You don't know that only the mud that has been stirred is more useful.
A wall that is built together is strong."
Qin Nian suppressed his laughter: "I really don't know about this."
Lin Tiancheng bought two truckloads of bricks and started building the wall in the afternoon, starting with the wall that separated the two houses.
Geng Feng heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. He saw Qin Nian looking for someone to build a wall. His eyes turned red and he stood there, staring blankly.
The wall got higher and higher, and finally, it separated his home from Qin Nian's. Finally, he could no longer see Qin Nian.
Ye Meizi came over, and Mrs. Li pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang:
"Meizi, I'm sure you can understand why Qin Nian is trying to create a rift between our two families.
It’s not that Qin Nian is difficult to get along with, it’s just that she has her own difficulties.”
Ye Meizi nodded:
"Auntie Li, what is there for me to not understand? I know better than anyone what kind of person Xiao Nian is and what she is worried about."
Yu Xiaohan was also standing in the yard watching. Seeing Qin Nian building a wall as he said, he couldn't help but wonder, does Qin Nian have a lot of silver in his hands?
No wonder Geng Feng has been in a bad mood since he saw her again. He must be reluctant to spend the money.
Money is hard currency and cannot be compared just because you want to.
Yu Xiaohan's heart was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, a hatred deeper than the sea.
The next day, the village head brought a few people and followed Qin Nian to the fields to harvest wheat.
We also hired an ox cart, and the harvested wheat was first pulled to the yard to dry. The yard was on the edge of the village, so it was convenient to watch over it.
Qin Nian carried spiritual spring water in a large wooden barrel and gave it to the people who were harvesting wheat to drink.
Geng Zhenhai also went there with a sickle. Without saying a word, he bent down and started cutting. He cut quickly and well, picking up every fallen wheat strand, as carefully as if it were his own.
Qin Nian looked at this and felt uncomfortable, but what could she do? She had missed the fate with their family.
Qin Nian found an opportunity and said to Ye Meizi, "Aunt Geng, my family has a lot of land, so the land on the mountain belongs to you.
Uncle Geng just needs to help me harvest the wheat for one day. Tomorrow you tell him he doesn’t need to go and harvest the wheat in the mountains.
They are left to dry on the mountain, and then the grains are threshed and transported down the mountain.”
Ye Meizi sighed and said, "Xiao Nian, you found that piece of land when you were looking for the spring, so it should belong to you.
You don't have to insist on giving it to us. Just think about it, how sad Geng Feng must be every time he goes to that land?
So, you should take over that piece of land."
Qin Nian listened for a while and nodded silently. Ten people worked for several days and the wheat was harvested.
They were all pulled out and occupied the entire threshing floor.
Fortunately, the wheat that was brought back first was already dry and could be threshed. Of course, they had to hire people, otherwise Qin Nian and his grandson would have to work for a long time.
When hiring a man to thresh the rice, Qin Nian carried him on his back and held him up the mountain. After crossing the mountain and passing the shy spring, Qin Nian was stunned before reaching the edge of the field.
The wheat in the field was almost harvested. There was only a little left, and it looked like Geng Feng had been harvesting for a whole day.
Geng Feng was in the wheat field, waving a sickle.
"Xiao Nian."
Seeing Qin Nian, Geng Feng cried out in a hoarse voice, his eyes were red. These days, he was too aggrieved and regretful.
Qin Nian looked at him and pretended not to care, but could she really not care at all?
Qin Nian forced a smile: "Geng Feng, thank you for your help."
"Xiao Nian, even if we are not destined to be together, you and I will never be polite, okay?"
Before Qin Nian could answer, Geng Feng's face was covered with tears. In order to cover it up, he bent down and continued to cut wheat.
Qin Nian bundled the wheat that Geng Feng had harvested and stood three or five of them together for easy drying.
