Chapter 368: This year’s harvest is really good
"Grandma, Master Gu, I'm here!"
As soon as he stepped into the yard, Xiao Yeyang shouted to Gu Jian and Granny Gu who were inside. When he saw Granny Yan coming out of the house, he immediately said, "Madam, you are here too?"
Old Lady Yan smiled and nodded: "Yang boy, why are you here?"
Xiao Yeyang felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Old Lady Yan in the eye. He smiled awkwardly and pointed at the colored glaze on Defu's back and said, "I'm here to install the colored glaze windows and tiles for Grandma and Master Gu."
Hearing this, Old Lady Yan looked pleased: "Good boy, thank you for thinking about your Granny Gu and Master Gu."
Gu Jian snorted, turned his head and said nothing.
This kid's real intention is not to drink!
When Daohua didn't come, this kid didn't come either.
Granny Gu was all smiles: "Come in and have a cup of tea. You're sweating profusely."
Xiao Yeyang wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, I'm not hot. Then... I'll install the glazed tiles and glazed windows for you right now."
After saying that, he called Defu to move.
By the time the rice flowers were picked up, Xiao Yeyang had already gone up to the roof.
"Xiao Yeyang, you even remembered to install glazed tiles and glazed windows for my master and the others. I think you are thoughtful."
Daohua stood in the yard, looking at Xiao Yeyang on the roof with a smile.
Xiao Yeyang looked down at the rice flowers, and seeing her bright smile with her head tilted back, he couldn't take his eyes away: "Master Gu also taught me martial arts, so he can be considered my master. Isn't this as it should be."
Daohua: "Then you have to pretend well."
Xiao Yeyang: "Of course."
After watching for a while, Rice Flower said to the three elderly people in the house, "Grandma, Master, and Mother-in-law, I'm going down to see the tenants harvesting rice!"
Mrs. Yan's voice came out immediately: "Put on your veil, don't get tanned."
Rice Flower: “I understand.”
After Wang Man'er brought the veil hat, Daohua said to Xiao Yeyang, "You pretend well, I'm going down the mountain first." After that, she took Wang Man'er away.
On the roof, Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua leaving Taohua An, and his heart followed her. He was not careful and almost fell off the roof.
Granny Gu in the house heard the noise and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Yang boy?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It's okay, it's okay. My foot just slipped a little bit."
Gu Jian listened and shook his head with dissatisfaction: "Don't be indecisive when doing things. You came here to install glazed tiles, don't end up tearing down my roof."
Now, Xiao Yeyang didn't dare to be distracted and could only urge Defu to speed up.
The rice fields were next to the Shahe River. It took Daohua and Wang Maner a quarter of an hour to reach their destination.
"Girl, this year is another year of good harvest."
Looking at the heavy ears of rice, Wang Maner's face was full of joy.
Rice Flower smiled and nodded: "I hope there will be good weather and good harvests every year."
At this time, a group of people appeared on the road, led by the village chief of Taohua Village.
"Girl, look!"
Daohua turned her head and saw the village chief and several elderly people in their forties and fifties walking towards them, while the others were standing in the distance without moving.
"Village Chief, is there something wrong?"
When the village chief came in, Daohua took the initiative to ask.
The village chief was a little reserved: "Miss Yan, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Daohua smiled and said, "It's okay. Just tell me what you need. I will definitely help if I can."
The people behind the village chief breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Daohua speaking softly.
"Miss Yan, it's like this. I've seen the land you bought before. It's not much different from ours, but the rice grown here is much more than ours. Although it hasn't been harvested yet, I can tell the yield is definitely not low. So, let's think about it."
Seeing that the village chief hadn't gotten to the point for a long time, Wang Man'er helped him out by saying, "You want to buy seeds, right?"
The village chief nodded quickly.
Wang Man'er was speechless: "Why not just state your purpose directly? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Man'er, don't be rude!"
Daohua scolded him, "The girl is rude, please don't mind the village chief and everyone else."
The village chief and others stopped talking and said, "The girl's condition is serious. We don't mind. It's our fault for not speaking well and wasting her time."
Rice Flower: "I don't have anything urgent to do, so there's no need to delay. I can sell you the seeds, but you have to register so I know how much seeds you need."
The village chief didn't expect Daohua to be so easy to talk to. He and the others were all delighted and said, "Okay, okay, we'll go and register right away."
When Xiao Yeyang brought Defu over, they saw a large group of people surrounding Daohua. Thinking something had happened, they ran over quickly and pulled the young man standing in front of Daohua away.
Although the young man had been doing farm work for many years and was quite strong, he was no match for Xiao Yeyang, who practiced martial arts, and was directly dragged to the ground.
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
Daohua was shocked and quickly grabbed Xiao Yeyang, and stopped Defu who was about to go over to hit someone.
Xiao Yeyang's face was calm. He looked around at the people around him. Seeing that they had retreated, he looked at Daohua: "Are you okay?"
Daohua was helpless: "What can I do?"
Xiao Yeyang pointed at the village chief and others: "Then why are they surrounding you?"
Daohua explained, "They saw that my crops were growing well and wanted to buy some seeds. I told them they needed to register first, and they were just asking me how to do that."
Xiao Yeyang realized that he had misunderstood and signaled Defu to pull the man up, but he still said to Daohua: "When you go out in the future, you should bring more people with you. You won't be afraid of being surrounded by a group of people like just now."
Daohua: "The farm is right next to us, is it necessary?" Seeing Xiao Yeyang's face darken, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely bring more people, okay?"
Xiao Yeyang didn't say much.
However, his arrival frightened the village chief and others so much that they stood aside and dared not make a sound.
Daohua was helpless and said to everyone with a smile, "Just register as I just said. Oh, and if you want to plant watermelons and peanuts like the ones I grow on my farm, you can also buy seeds."
The village chief was immediately excited. He suppressed his fear of Xiao Yeyang and asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"
He had seen with his own eyes how delicious the watermelons grown on Miss Yan's farm were. He had even inquired about the prices of the watermelons and found that they were sold at very high prices.
I heard that many families in Xingzhou have made a lot of money by growing watermelons, and now they are building houses and buying land.
Daohua nodded and said, "Really? We also have yams, but we have to wait a month or two before we can harvest them. If you think the harvest is good, you can join us in planting them."
The village chief and others hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady."
After everyone left, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua to check on her, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was really fine.
Daohua was speechless: "The village chief and the others all know that I am the prefect's daughter, how dare they be rude to me?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It's better to be safe than sorry. You'd better be careful when you go out in the future."
Rice Flower didn't want to dwell on this anymore, so she lifted the scarves on her veil to both sides, opened her arms, and walked forward along the ridge of the field, letting the golden waves of rice brush across her fingertips.
When Xiao Yeyang saw this, he smiled and followed her silently.
Wang Maner wanted to follow, but was stopped by Defu.
Wang Man'er looked at Defu speechlessly: "Eunuch Defu, what do you want to ask me this time?"
Defu smiled awkwardly: "Well, the harvest this year is really good!"
