They went straight back to the inn.
It was already the hour of Chen when they bought the cows and drove them back. There were five of them driving the cows, and each person could drive four cows.
"Will it be okay if we rush like this? What if he runs away in the middle of the journey?" Chunxiao was still a little worried. She had originally thought of doing it in several trips, but Shijiu said that they could rush together as a group because he had rushed for others before.
"No, cows are very obedient. As long as you lead the way, they will follow. Master, your carriage is fast, why don't you go ahead and I promise to drive them to their destination for you."
Chunxiao was still a little worried, so she followed for an hour and only after seeing that everything was fine did she drive away in the carriage.
It was already past 3 p.m. when we arrived at Zhuangzi.
"Why are you back alone?" Xiaohua looked behind her, "Where are they?"
"I bought 20 cows today. I think it will be evening before they are all back. Remember to light the stove for them when they come back. Where are my sister-in-law and the others?"
"In the fields. They've been wandering around in the fields these days. I don't know what they're looking at." Xiaohua played with her hair.
"Have you been to the town yet?"
"Yes, I've been back for a while. I ordered the ones you wanted from someone, and they said the pig intestines were free. They gave me a few and told me to remember to bring a backpack to pick them up tomorrow." She covered her mouth and laughed.
"It turns out there are a lot of people who don't know what's good as me. Miss, why don't you open a braised meat shop here?"
"The villagers here are living in such hardship, and the county town is also in a recession. Although there are rich people everywhere, there is still the risk of losing money by opening a braised meat shop. Moreover, management is troublesome, and I have to work every day and have no time to rest. I think I'd rather forget it and focus on growing my cotton."
Xiaohua nodded. "Miss, you have so many ways to make money. Last time you talked about burning charcoal, this charcoal can also be sold for money, and this braised meat can also be sold for money. Ever since I followed you, I have a different feeling. I feel that making money is not difficult. Why did we live so hard before? The whole village suffered. We used to think that making money was difficult. Miss, you are like a god."
"That's your illusion." Chun Xiao smiled. "I'm just an ordinary person. Okay, go call the sisters-in-law back. I'm free now and I'm going to teach them."
"I'll call someone for you right away."
When Nineteen and the others came back, it was indeed dark. Fortunately, all the cattle were brought back, and Nineteen seemed quite proud of it.
Chunxiao hurried them over to the stove to eat, while she and her sisters-in-law helped lead the cows to the shed at the back. They were then given fodder and water. "Tomorrow we're going to town to buy six ox carts for our future travels."
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow, Miss, and put up notices to collect cow dung."
It was indeed seven days later when Dongsheng and his companions returned. Early in the morning, the villagers borrowed wooden plows from the village and used oxen to fertilize the fields. Although there were only 20 people, the oxen plowed quickly, and they were able to fertilize 20 mu of land in just one morning. This way, they could fertilize all the land in about 20 days, and with another fertilization in late January, the land was ready for planting.
When Dongsheng and the others arrived, Chunxiao was standing at the edge of the field watching the people working.
"Sister Chunxiao, the boss told us to come here and work for you today." Xiao Sang walked quietly to her side and suddenly spoke, which scared Chunxiao.
Seeing it was them, she smiled and rubbed her chest. "I was scared to death by you. You came so early, how could I really let you work? I asked Xiaohua to buy a lot of food yesterday. Come on, come in and sit down."
"That won't work. We can't just come here to eat and not work hard. We also farm there."
"Yeah, if you have anything to do, just let them do it. They can't do anything by just sitting there."
"You finally have a day off, how can I let you do anything? Besides, you see, there are no extra cows for you to use. Let's go back to the yard and sit down."
Several people were dressed particularly cleanly today. Xiaohua was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw them, she hurriedly carried the basin to the backyard.
"This girl hides every time she sees us coming. Is she so afraid of us?" He Tian shook his head with amusement.
"She is young and very shy in front of outsiders." Would you like to have breakfast? I'll ask someone to make it.
"No need, you don't even eat breakfast, so we have to eat even less. Please sit down, sister. We will feel uncomfortable if you don't let us work."
"If you must, please help me pick out the cotton seeds. There are still a few bags of cotton seeds left from the last time they went back, and we don't have time to plow the fields now."
"Do we have to pick these cotton seeds?" Several people looked at her in confusion.
"Of course you have to pick them. I know this. I'll teach you later." Dongsheng looked at Chunxiao with a smile, "Just have someone bring them here. I'll teach them how to pick them. It's an easy job. It's just like taking a break."
Now that everyone was in the fields, Chunxiao went to the warehouse by herself. Seeing this, Dongsheng hurriedly got up and went to help.
"I think our leader is definitely interested in the girl, but he doesn't dare to say it. When have you ever seen him take the initiative like this? He doesn't touch any of the girls in our barracks."
"Just shut up, all of you! Stop making wild guesses! Watch out for the boss getting mad. No matter what he thinks, don't make things uncomfortable while you're having good food and drinks."
"This girl is quite good. Look, she's pretty and rich. Whether she likes our boss or not is still a question."
"Who says it isn't?"
"People are coming, shut up!" He Tian warned quickly. He looked at Dongsheng with a smile and said, "Boss, you said you used to work as a farmhand at Sister Chunxiao's house. Didn't Sister Chunxiao's family grow cotton?"
Dongsheng nodded. He poured the cotton seeds into a large winnowing basket and grabbed a handful. "These round ones are good." He picked out a few round ones to show them, then found a flat one. "These are not good. Pick them out quickly and carefully."
