Chapter 309 The Wheat is Ripe



The bamboo paper from Tianxin Village sold very well, and the next day, Lu Da left Tianxin Village with Mangzi.

Zhao Xiaodong went to deliver breakfast to his older brother, and when he saw the note left on the table, he was so angry that he squatted on the ground and ate the breakfast for two while crying.

He was so full that he kept burping.

Lu Qiqi only learned about Lu Da's departure in the afternoon after he left, and it was through Zhao Xiaodong that she found out that Lu Da had already left Tianxin Village.

"Sister Lu, Brother Xiao Dong is so scary!"

On Wednesday, while holding the ledger, he saw Lu Qiqi walk into the accounting room and whispered a complaint.

Lu Qiqi watched Zhao Xiaodong walk into the warehouse and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

On Wednesday, he glanced at the warehouse door twice to make sure Zhao Xiaodong had gone inside before saying, "Brother Xiaodong's eyes are red, like he's just been crying."

The most unusual thing was that he asked me to teach him how to keep accounts!

Lu Qiqi suppressed a laugh, almost bursting out laughing. It was alright to have Zhao Xiaodong do the counting, but to have him write with those chicken claws was simply making things difficult for anyone looking at the ledgers.

However, judging from his appearance, he seems to have accepted the task assigned to him by Lu Da and wants to take on the heavy responsibility of the village chief.

If that's the case, the villagers need to know that a new village chief has been appointed.

Therefore, Lu Qiqi asked Zhao Xiaodong to organize a meeting of the villagers that very night to discuss the matter.

She was worried that Zhao Xiaodong might not be able to handle such a situation since it was his first time leading, so she went out of her way to help him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaodong not only won the unanimous vote, but also spoke with great ease.

Lu Qiqi even saw Lu Da's shadow in him.

Just like Zhao Xiaodong, he is truly living a good life and doing his best for the villagers, just as Lu Da hoped.

After the meeting in Tianxin Village, Li Changlong came early to pick her up with a lantern.

They said it wasn't safe for a girl like her to walk alone at night.

Lu Qiqi smiled and followed Li Changlong home.

She really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by her family. In another world, she had no family, only her master and fellow disciples.

A whole bunch of little radishes were waiting for her to coax them, and now she also has family members who care for and love her, which made the softest part of her heart ache.

The two entered the courtyard, and Li Changlong bolted the gate behind them.

Lu Qiqi pushed open the door and, in the dim candlelight, saw a person sitting in the main room.

It's Lu Dahai.

"Third Uncle, why aren't you asleep yet?" she asked.

Lu Dahai looked somewhat awkward and said, "Seventh Girl, you've been here for many days now. The plague has been cured, can we go home now?"

Lu Qiqi paused upon hearing this.

The rice seedlings in Tianlong Village have now been successfully planted.

All the vegetables in Tianping Village have been planted.

Medicinal herbs are also being planted in Tianmiao Village one after another.

The fruit trees and tea trees in Tianshui Village have all been planted and will be taken care of by the villagers of Tianmiao Village in the future.

These villages really don't need her to worry about them much.

However, the paper mill in Xin Village is just getting on track right now, and if something happens that she can't resolve while she's away from the Veterans' Village, there's a risk that she won't be there.

Wouldn't all that effort have been wasted?

Besides, we'll make a fortune once we run the paper mill well.

Then she can return to the veterans' village, build high-rise buildings with green tiles, and live in a large manor villa. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi refused without hesitation, "Third Uncle, I need to stay here for a while. The paper mill in Tianxin Village is still unstable, and I'm counting on it to make me a lot of money."

Lu Dahai nodded, understanding the reasoning behind it. He said, "The wheat at home is ripe, and I want to go back to harvest it."

But your third aunt said I have to take you home, otherwise she won't let me into the house.

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he seemed, which made Lu Qiqi laugh.

Just then, Li Changlong returned to the house and heard these words.

He laughed and said, "Father, you don't need to worry. Mother has always been kind-hearted but sharp-tongued. She won't really kick you out."

“Yes!” Lu Qiqi quickly agreed, “You’ve been away for so long, Auntie San must have been worried about you a long time ago.”

"When you get back, you'll be treated to a feast; they'll never kick you out of the house."

While coaxing you, she offered a suggestion: "Write a letter to my third aunt and have her take it back with you. She certainly won't treat you coldly."

Lu Dahai thought about her words and felt that they made sense, so he added, "And Ayao, when you first came to Heshun Prefecture, that child cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and your third aunt was so scared that she was afraid she would cry her eyes out."

"If this young lady goes blind, even if she were to seek a husband, she would probably have a hard time finding a good one."

"good."

Lu Qiqi thought of Lu Yao's innocent, rabbit-like appearance, and imagined her red, swollen eyes. Her heart melted.

She not only had to write letters, but she also had to buy them many gifts for Lu Dahai to take back.

The next day, Lu Qiqi took three strong men and went to Heshun Prefecture for a big shopping spree.

She walked in front, followed by Li Changlong, Zhou Yi, and Zhu Zi. The four of them walked down the street, their hands full of gift boxes, looking quite impressive.

Lu Qiqi wanted to bring everything she saw back to her family.

She received a reward from the emperor, which she could use to buy things.

It feels like working for a long time and then receiving a generous reward.

She was using the money to buy things for her family.

A sense of pride welled up within me.

Of course, under this premise, she couldn't think about the ginseng in the space; if she did, nothing would smell good anymore.

But at this moment, Lu Qiqi was still immersed in the joy of her shopping spree.

I saw gold and silver jewelry.

purchase!

Exquisite fabric.
