In the afternoon, they arrived at the village of Linye. When they heard they had arrived, they all looked around excitedly. Chunxiao told them not to mention Yan Qi's disappearance in front of Yan Dashan, so as not to worry her eldest brother, and they all agreed.
Yan Dashan was also surprised to see that they brought villagers with them, "Mingli, why are you here too?"
"Dad, this is a long story. I'll tell you later. We are thirsty. Dad, please get some water for us."
Yan Dashan patted his head and said, "Everyone is working in the fields. It's a busy time now. How can I find someone to get you some water? Go and pour some water for your aunt and the others as well."
Several teenagers called him big brother.
Yan Dashan hurriedly got them stools, "Why are you all here? You came all the way here?" He looked at Chunxiao.
"The villagers want to buy land here and grow cotton together, just like they did in our village. Big brother, why don't you take them to stay at your farm for a couple of days? We have a lot of people there. You can show them the necessary equipment, but don't count the people for now. We've already asked the chief clerk in the county, and he gave us a detailed list. I'll take them to see the land when I'm free in a couple of days."
"Okay, I'll take them."
"How's the situation over there?"
"I haven't checked on them in the past few days, probably because everything is fine. It's topping time now, and the fields are too busy. I think there's something strange. Counting the days, it seems the topping time has been advanced."
Chunxiao smiled and said, "The sunshine here is longer than ours, so the crops grow faster. That's normal."
"How do you know? I was saying why it's different."
Shuwen brought a bowl of water to each person.
Seeing that they were talking, they didn't want to interrupt, and now that Shuwen came over, they wanted to look around.
"Brother, I'll leave a carriage with you. I have to go back. If they want to go over and take a look, you can ask Shuwen to take them there."
She looked at Yan Mingli again and said, "You two can stay at my eldest brother's place first. Once I set a date, we'll go look at a piece of land. If you want to visit my farm, have Shuwen take you there. It's not far, and the carriage ride will only take half an hour. I'll be leaving today."
"Okay, thank you for these days."
"You're welcome." Chun Xiao took two pieces of fine cotton cloth suitable for men from the cart and gave them to Yan Dashan. "Brother, this is good cloth. Ask the sister-in-law in the farm to make a few more clothes for you and Shuwen. Don't always wear the same two. I'm leaving now."
Yan Dashan took the cloth and said, "I know. You're spending money recklessly again." Chunxiao didn't explain much and drove the carriage away.
It was already the afternoon when we arrived at Zhuangzi, and happiness and satisfaction were welcoming us from afar.
"What are you doing out here? Do you want to take a ride on my carriage?" These two people ran so far, I'm afraid they ran out as soon as they saw me.
"Miss, please get in and I will drive the carriage for you." Xingfu looked excited.
"Miss, you said you would be back soon, but it has been more than a month." Meiman also sat in the carriage, and the two drove the carriage back to the main courtyard together.
"Something happened at home and delayed me. How is the farm?"
"Everyone is fine, but we are all looking forward to your return."
"Flatterer!"
"Who's flattering me? I'm telling the truth." Meiman smiled. "Oh, miss, you've brought back a lot of cloth again."
"I went to Yunzhou and brought back some cloth. Let's move it down first."
"Where is Yunzhou?"
"To the north of Qingzhou is Tongzhou, and to the south is Yunzhou." Chunxiao looked at the two of them. "Apart from being a little tanned, she hasn't lost any weight."
"Not only have you not lost weight, you've gained weight, Miss. Among the people we bought later, there are two sisters-in-law who cook deliciously. I transferred them to the main courtyard for you. It's a good deal for us when you're not here."
"Really? I'll have to try it. The vegetables in our garden are almost grown, right?"
"They're growing, and the cucumbers are bearing big fruits. I'll pick two for you to try later."
Several people unloaded all the cloth from the car. Chunxiao put the three pieces of cloth she brought back to the room and picked out the remaining five pieces of fine cloth. "These five pieces of cloth are good fine cloth, but the color is not so uniform. I picked out the colors that are pleasing to the eye. You two come over and pick two pieces each to keep for your own clothes."
"Miss." Xingfu looked at her, "Why are you giving us things again?"
"Yes, miss, you can keep the cloth for yourself. We have clothes to wear."
"Take what you want. I'll keep the extra piece for myself. Xingfu. Take it to the manager of Yard No. 2 later and ask her to find someone to make two sets of clothes for each member of Zhao Shitou's family. Although the colors are for men, they shouldn't be a big deal for old ladies. Oh, and wash the cloth before making them. Give the rest to them as they please."
"Miss, how can this be possible?" Xingfu looked at her in panic.
Chunxiao smiled and stood next to Meiman. "What do you think she means by this? I'm not giving it to her. Look at her like this, what does she look like?"
"What can we be like, Miss? We just want to be a family." Meiman supported her head with her hands, "Miss, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up."
Xingfu stomped her feet shyly, "You are the only ones who like to make fun of me. Forget it, Miss. Meiman, please stop talking nonsense."
Chun Xiao was afraid of embarrassing them, so she quickly held out her hand. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Before I leave, I want them to each make a set of clothes. Do I have enough cloth?"
"It's enough. There's enough for one suit per person, and there's still some left. The damaged ones have all been used up, and the 22 thicker ones have all been used up. There are still 11 thinner ones left. The adults will use the thicker ones, and the remaining thinner ones are just right for making clothes for the children. On average, one piece of cloth can make six suits of clothes."
