The next day, there was a light drizzle, but Chunxiao still felt like going to the farm.
She took Xiaohua to the town bank to exchange 200 taels of silver, and then went to the market to buy several large baskets of oranges. They almost bought all the oranges in the market. The two of them happily went to Lu Village.
As a result, the man was seen by people outside before he even entered the village.
"The boss is back."
"The boss is back." The calls came one after another.
They knocked at the door of the manor, and soon the door opened. The person who opened the door was smiling, but his hands were still covered in mud. "Boss, you're back."
"You're not afraid of me. Last year's harvest must have been good. Where's the young master?"
The servant pointed to her and said, "They're weeding in the field. Master, I'll take you over to have a look."
The servant walked in front, and Xiaohua drove the carriage behind. When they arrived at the end of the field, Chunxiao got off the carriage and asked someone to tie it to the yard. She took Xiaohua to the field.
Shufeng had heard the voice a long time ago and was running towards her. "Auntie, Auntie, you're back. Are my father and the others back too?"
Chunxiao saw her approaching and quickly dodged. Shufeng pounced but missed and looked at her with a pout, "Auntie, you don't even hug me."
Xiaohua covered her mouth and laughed behind her.
"Your hands are covered in mud, and they'll get all over me. Your dad and the others are back." The rain had stopped by now.
"It rained yesterday so I didn't work in the fields. Today, since it's not raining much, I'm going to pull some weeds. Please wait for me while I go wash my hands."
As soon as Shufeng left, Wang Shiwen came over, still smiling brightly, "Boss, you're back."
Chunxiao looked at her shoes that were covered in mud from working in the fields and said, "I've only been back for two days. I came to take a look. Let's go to the yard and talk." The three of them went to the yard together. The people working in the fields were looking at them. Two of them wanted to follow them, but after thinking for a moment, they continued to pull weeds.
"Boss, last year's harvest was good. As you said, the grain has been stored in the warehouse and has not been sold. The quantity is a bit too much. Do you want to sell some? The price of grain is not bad now."
"How much did you collect?"
"Wait a minute, I'll get you the booklet."
Chunxiao brought Xiaohua back to the courtyard. Shufeng had already asked someone to make her tea. "Aunt, I've taken good care of your farm. Grandpa even said I was a good person. Shouldn't you reward me?"
Chun Xiao glanced at her, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I gave you the reward yesterday. It's with your mother. Go ask her for it."
"Really, what is it? You bought me a present?"
"I replied in a hurry, but I didn't have time to buy a gift. I just gave the money directly."
"Oh, aunt, it would be better if you just gave it to me directly. If you gave it to my mother, my mother said she would save it for me, so it will definitely not reach my hands."
"You can ask her for it. Shuwen has all the things he has."
Shufeng looked at Xiaohua behind her.
Xiaohua stepped forward and saluted, "Young lady, I'm Xiaohua."
Shufeng smiled and said, "You look about the same age as me. Your name is Xiaohua, what a cute name."
"She is a year older than you."
"Auntie, when did you come back?"
"It's only been two days since I came back. I was supposed to come yesterday, but it rained." Chun Xiao looked at her and said, "It's been almost a year since I last saw you. You've changed a lot. You've become a grown-up girl."
"Aunt, you haven't changed much. Even if you have, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"You are the only one who can say nice things." Chunxiao tapped her nose.
Wang Shiwen came over with the account book, "Boss, please take a look at the account first."
Chunxiao took the notebook and looked at it. There were several kilograms of rice, several kilograms of wheat, and several kilograms of soybeans in the warehouse. It was quite a lot. "Is all the food in the warehouse?"
"They're all in the warehouse. I heard you didn't sell a single pound. They've sprinkled lime all around. People come to check on them every day."
"It's quite a lot. Let's keep it for now. When the harvest comes in the second half of the year, we can sell these and keep new ones." Now she is not short of money, so she feels at ease when storing some food.
"Yes, Boss."
Chunxiao looked at Shufeng and said, "I heard from your grandfather that you planted a lot of orange trees in the village?"
Shufeng nodded quickly. "The oranges in your yard are so good that they are jealous. My second uncle bought a lot of orange saplings before the New Year, and I brought him half of them. From now on, you don't have to buy oranges if you want to eat them, aunt."
Chunxiao asked Xiaohua to take the oranges off the carriage. "I passed by the market today and bought a few boxes. Wang Shiwen, you can distribute them to everyone later. First, take me to see the new house."
Shufeng led a few people to the house nearby. "This house was completed last year. Grandpa even asked Fifth Master to make beds and cabinets for it. Aunt, are you planning to add more people?"
"Add eight or nine more people, Manager Wang. I'll bring eight or nine more back in a few days. You have to arrange for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Is there really no way you can help them learn to read?"
When Wang Shiwen was asked to learn Chinese characters, he began to sweat. "Master, I am too stupid and can never learn well. But there are smart people in Zhuangzi. I found two people to learn Chinese characters from you, Master. They have already learned quite a lot."
"Really?" Chun Xiao was pleasantly surprised. "Then I'd like to see how well they learn."
Shufeng smiled guiltily at the side, "Aunt, you still want to test them? Please don't test them. I am not a qualified teacher. Anyway, I have taught them all the ones I know. Why don't you test them in mathematics? I think I can teach mathematics well."
"You have to have confidence in yourself." Chun Xiao laughed, "How can I know their level if I don't test them?"
Chunxiao entered the house. The lighting was good, and there were beds and cabinets. "When I have time, I'll go to the town to buy a bucket and a basin for each room." She looked at each room and found that they were all suitable for living. She went to the kitchen and saw a piece of bacon hanging behind it.
