Guan Yingwu has 200 acres of land, and the workload is very large whether it is land reclamation or house construction.
Baozi is looking for people recruited by Zhou Ergui, paying 300 wen a month, and they are required to provide their own food and accommodation. Many people from nearby have come to work.
Guan Xiaodie soon found out about Guan Yingwu's purchase of land. She went to Song Yuehua's house to apologize, "Miss Song, I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time. My second brother is petty and niggardly. I don't know what he's going to do with the land this time. You need to be careful."
"He is indeed a petty person." Song Yuehua agreed.
I just said a few words to him and he fell, but he already held a grudge against me and made such a big fuss about it.
Guan Xiaodie added, "My second brother is stupid, but the guy next to him is a man with many ideas. Miss Song, please remember to pay more attention to him."
"Thank you Miss Guan for telling me." Song Yuehua said.
In some time, the cotton can be picked. Song Yuehua has been paying attention to Guan Yingwu's situation.
Zhou Ergui told her privately that the Guan family was just clearing the land and building houses, and there was no other action.
If it were just these, it wouldn't be a big problem. Song Yuehua's cotton was about to be harvested, so she was on the alert and asked Zhou Dafu to find ten more people to guard the cotton fields all night long. The wages would be 400 coins a month until the cotton was picked.
It was not until September that Zhou Dafu reminded Song Yuehua that the cotton could be picked in a few days.
Song Yuehua went to the compound again that night and asked Liu Xue to send some people out in advance.
Liu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Wen and Aunt Tang, they are both considerate and patient."
A familiar smell came, Song Yuehua took two sniffs and asked, "What is this smell?"
“The smell of wormwood.”
Liu Xue explained, "During the Dragon Boat Festival, Grandma Xi asked us to store a lot of mugwort leaves here. The weather has been hot recently, and pigs and chickens are prone to illness. When the weather is cooler, clean the empty pigpen, fumigate with mugwort, and drive the pigs in when the smell dissipates."
This method is indeed good, Song Yuehua said, "With Grandma Xi here, it really saves a lot of trouble."
"I have good taste!" Liu Xue pointed at herself and smiled proudly.
"Yes, yes, you have the best vision," Song Yuehua said with a smile, "How about the medicine I brought back for you last time?"
Liu Xue nodded and said, "It worked a little. The red marks on my back have disappeared."
"Really?" Song Yuehua asked in surprise.
Liu Xue lifted her clothes and let her see the wound on her back.
The red marks were indeed gone, but upon closer inspection, the marks could still be seen. Song Yuehua said, "Next time I'll write a letter to Xiaoyu to send a few bottles back. You can try them for a while and see how they look."
After Liu Xue put down her clothes, she said hesitantly, "Master, that Hu Jinshui wants to propose to me."
"ah!"
Song Yuehua was confused for a moment, and after asking again, she felt very unhappy, "How old are you? How dare he come up with this idea?"
"I, I'm 14 years old..." Liu Xue said this a little embarrassedly. In fact, she is one year older than her master.
Song Yuehua then realized that although she was 14 years old, she could still get married here. However, in her eyes, Liu Xue was still a child!
"Are you interested in Hu Jinshui?" Song Yuehua asked.
Liu Xue shook her head.
Song Yuehua's heart suddenly relaxed, and she smiled and said, "Then just reject him. If you really want to get married, go and tell Matchmaker Tang first, and then slowly look for someone."
"I don't want to get married, but everyone says it's not a good idea. Besides, apart from Hu Jinshui, I'm afraid no one else would be willing to marry me..." Liu Xue lowered her head and said shyly.
Song Yuehua paused for a moment before asking, "Who would be harmed if you don't get married?"
Liu Xue raised her head, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Song Yuehua pointed at herself with eyes wide open and said, "You don't think your marriage will have any impact on me, do you?"
Liu Xue nodded slightly.
Song Yuehua covered her forehead and sighed heavily, "You must believe me. If you have any bad influence on me and my family, I will definitely kick you out without hesitation. I will be responsible for my own affairs. Do you understand?"
Liu Xue nodded in amazement.
Thinking of what she just said, Song Yuehua asked, "Who said that no one else would be willing to marry you except Hu Jinshui?"
Liu Xue opened her mouth and said, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
Song Yuehua said excitedly, "You are healthy, good-looking, kind-hearted, and capable. Moreover, you have a promising brother like Bai Shu. How could you worry about such a thing?"
Liu Xue's face flushed at the compliment, "Am I that good?"
"Yes." Song Yuehua confirmed seriously.
Liu Xue nodded and said, "As for Hu Jinshui, I will go and reject him."
After making the arrangements, Song Yuehua left.
Liu Xue was also going to get a basin of water to wash her feet. As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, she saw Wei Feng adding water. Seeing the basin in Liu Xue's hand, he hurriedly said, "Sister Liu, wait a moment, the water will be heated soon."
After saying that, he ran to the stove to add firewood.
Liu Xue smiled and said, "I'll do it myself, so as not to delay your homework."
Wei Feng stuffed a large piece of wood in, fiddled with it for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, and the water will be ready to use."
"Yeah." Liu Xue sat at the edge of the kang and waited.
Before Wei Feng was about to leave, he came back and said, "Sister Liu, you are worthy of anyone."
"What..." When Liu Xue raised her head, there was no one at the door.
In mid-September, cotton picking began and the school had a three-day holiday as usual.
Although Song Yuehua has difficulty walking, it does not affect her cotton picking. The children in the cotton field have grown up a lot. Lan Yu, Wei Feng and Bai Shu have grown a lot taller, and they have read more books, so their every move reveals a scholarly air.
