"Don't worry. You're better at the farm than I am. I'll naturally keep an eye on it for you. I'm also afraid I won't be able to help. So, are we going to wait for you to come back together?"
"If you have made arrangements here, go back first and don't wait for me." It would probably be November before she could return. If something went wrong and they couldn't return together, it would be troublesome. It would be safer for them to go back separately.
"Second brother, find someone to take us back later, and then drive this carriage back. It will be yours from now on." Chun Xiao looked at him with a smile, "I drove your carriage away for so long, you won't be cursing me in your heart, right?"
"How could that be possible?" Yan Dahe laughed. "In your mind, Second Brother is so ungrateful. You gave me your car, and if I scold you for using it, what kind of person would I be? Just use it."
"I'm used to riding in a horse-drawn carriage, and now I can't get used to riding in an ox-drawn cart. Okay, second brother, go and get busy. It's busy now, I'll just sit for a while and then leave."
"Leaving so soon? Why don't you have dinner and stay overnight? It's been a while since I had a good talk with you, little sister." Zhang tried to persuade her to stay.
"No, sister-in-law. There will be plenty of opportunities to get together in the future. When we return to Qingzhou, we can stay at home every day and have endless things to talk about."
She shook Zhang's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, if you are bored in the future and I am not around, you can go find Meiman or Xingfu. You are familiar with them and should be able to chat with them."
Zhang smiled. "How could it be boring? The farm is so big, there are endless things to do every day. The reason I didn't persuade you to stay is because you are busier at the farm. Well, when we have free time in the future, let's go back to Qingzhou and talk. We can relax and chat at home."
Yan Dashan took the time to send them back to the village.
Chunxiao returned to the village and immediately called Meiman over. "Are there any men and women in our village who are in love with each other?"
Meiman was startled. "Miss, did you find out who did something out of the ordinary?"
"No. I overlooked one thing before. The men and women in our village are all single now. If they want to start a family, it's allowed. It's a good thing. I'm afraid I didn't mention it clearly before, and they have some private contacts, so I wanted to ask if you have noticed."
Meiman patted her chest and said, "Miss, you scared me to death. I thought you were talking about this because you saw two people together in our village. Why are you saying this suddenly?"
"Over in Qingzhou, Zhuangzi captured a pair of lovers, and I took advantage of the situation to make them husband and wife. I think this is the way it should be. So, regardless of whether it's true now or not, you will send the message tomorrow. If either of them has this idea and both are willing, have them come to you and let you know. Although we can't get a marriage certificate, we will still recognize them as husband and wife. You can then arrange new rooms for them. But if anyone gets together and then abandons them, don't blame me for being rude then."
"I understand, Miss." Meiman smiled, "This is also a happy event for our village."
"Yes, I thought that if there are more in the future, we can build a row of independent small courtyards outside the land, which will be convenient for a family of three to live in. We don't even need to build a wall."
"Then you're at a huge loss. Building a yard costs much more than just building a fence."
"Why do I see people setting up stalls and doing business next to the village when I come here today? Are they doing business, or am I seeing things?" It feels so good to wash your face with this well water.
"You're not mistaken. It's been a while since people from other places have been selling snacks here. You gave them money, so they're willing to eat food worth a few cents. Their business is pretty good when the weather is hot. I've bought from the same stall and they're pretty good."
"What are they selling?" Chunxiao said, showing interest. "I'll go check it out tomorrow."
"I can't really put my finger on it, but it's sweet and slippery. You'll know when you see it tomorrow."
Yes, there are signs of commercial development here. If there are more people and the village becomes better, it may become a prosperous village. It is worth looking forward to.
There are now more than 230 people in Zhuangzi, including the farmhands. Last time, Chunxiao told Meiman and others that they would recruit more people if they were short of staff, but it has not been implemented. The next day, she found the farmhands working in the village and asked them to go back and tell the head of the village that each village is preparing to recruit 20 more farmhands, and those who are willing can send people over.
Someone immediately asked for leave and returned to the village. This matter was very efficient. In the afternoon, the village head sent the list over. Chunxiao asked Meiman Chunliu and others to prepare the employment contract.
She saw the snack stall and ate the food. It was the same kind of ice jelly she had eaten in later lives. Although there was no ice, it was slippery and tasted average, but it was very satisfying. It was hot when they were working, so no wonder they bought it.
The farm here now has the most mature cotton-growing technology among all the farms, and it is also the farm that Chunxiao feels most at ease with.
It is now the bud stage, and large areas of cotton fields are full of yellow and pink flowers, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Chunxiao found that people from the town often came to visit, as if they were treating her place as a tourist attraction, if only the cotton plants were not infested with insects.
Pests are very serious for crops. If not managed properly, the harvest will be greatly reduced by half. Fortunately, they are already mature crops.
Every year at this time, the village would send a large number of eggs to the village. This year, Meiman also raised hundreds of chickens in the village, but they were not yet ready to lay eggs. The people in the village had to eat eggs every day when May came.
This is a very good thing for them. Now they are very skilled in using eggshells to make leaf fertilizer. Moreover, Zhuangzi has several large stone mills that can grind the eggshells into fine powder, which is better to use than before.
