"Master." "Boss."
Xiaoyu wiped the table and went into the kitchen to boil water for tea.
Song Yuehua asked, "Do you have any more brown sugar? Make some brown sugar water and bring it over."
There weren't many dishes today, and the rice wasn't enough either. Xie Yu thought Sister Song must not have eaten enough. "There's a basket of eggs in the cupboard. How about laying some eggs?"
"Okay, go to bed." Song Yuehua said.
The two found a stool and sat next to Song Yuehua.
Tan Xiuxiu smiled and said, "When Xiaoxue heard someone say that a carriage had entered the village, she said that it was the boss who had returned. Sure enough, she was right."
"Master, you took too long this time." Liu Xue said.
Song Yuehua didn't want to elaborate, she just said, "There are a lot of things."
The two of them thought that it was not easy to open a store in a place as far away as Wenzhou.
No one knew what the two were thinking about. Besides Dabao, what Song Yuehua was most concerned about was the cotton in the field.
"Aunt Tan, is it time to plant cotton?"
This was the first time that Qin Xiuxiu was in charge of planting cotton, and she had no idea how the base fertilizer and seedlings were prepared.
Tan Xiuxiu said confidently, "Don't worry, Boss. Zhou Lizheng will help to supervise everything from applying fertilizer to raising seedlings. There will definitely be no mistakes. Now everything is ready. We just need to wait for a few days of good weather before we can plant."
With Zhou Dafu as technical guidance, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Does Baozi also grow cotton?" Song Yuehua asked.
Tan Xiuxiu nodded and said, "The South Yard also grows cotton, but they planted it two days ago."
The base fertilizer for the buns was applied thickly at the beginning. The sun was good a few days ago, so we started transplanting early.
"The rice fields should have been planted."
Song Yuehua thought of the 25 acres of fertile land she had rented to the Zhang family.
Last year, the Zhang family borrowed a cow, plowed the land again, and applied base fertilizer. It’s time to plant rice this year.
Tan Xiuxiu knew that the Ma family’s fields were close by, “They’ve already planted the rice seedlings, earlier than ours.”
Good farmland is not easy to buy now.
If it weren't for Mr. Jin's kindness and agreement to the exchange, he probably wouldn't have been so lucky to get these 25 acres of fertile land.
With Zhang Rushan's ability, as long as he comes across good land, he can easily buy more than ten acres.
The two children in the family no longer have to spend money on education, so the Zhang family doesn’t have to work so hard.
"The Zhang family doesn't know how long they can continue to rent the land."
Song Yuehua couldn't help but say something when she thought of this.
Tan Xiuxiu didn't know why Song Yuehua would say such a thing.
"The two brothers of the Zhang family are not lazy. They can rent the land and sell the fine rice. If they sell it, I'm afraid the door of the landlord's house will be trampled down by the villagers."
"Besides, it's not just Zhang Erniu's family that owns the land. There's also Zhang Daniu. As long as the owner doesn't fire them, I think they'd like to stay here forever."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I'm not worried that no one will do it, it's just that the Zhang family is used to doing it, and I'm used to it too."
Tan Xiuxiu said, "If the Zhang family really wants to quit, we can just take over the rice farm work ourselves, so we don't have to give away a large portion of the grain."
It sounds simple, but we need to recruit more staff and add another person to be in charge, which requires a lot of effort and worry.
Song Yuehua still felt that renting the land was less troublesome, as all she had to do was wait for the harvest every year.
"Oh, there is another good news," Tan Xiuxiu said happily, "The government has issued a notice that any place hit by drought will not have to pay grain tax this year."
This is indeed good news.
Tan Xiuxiu added, "Everyone is very motivated this year. Even Feng Cuihua asked me for dozens of cotton seedlings last time."
"Xiao Cui also wants to grow cotton?" Song Yuehua was a little surprised.
She was still selling charcoal a few months ago, but now that the weather is getting warmer, charcoal is indeed not as easy to sell.
Tan Xiuxiu said, "Old Feng found a job in the county, and the mother and daughter are managing two acres of thin land at home. I see that she sells charcoal and farms, and now she even grows cotton. She seems to be living a prosperous life."
Looking at Liu Xue who had been silent, Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Why are you silent? Did something happen?"
"Hey, Master, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xue said anxiously, "Everything is fine in the compound..."
"Yeah, they're all good, except for that boy named Huo," Tan Xiuxiu joked. "He goes to the compound every day."
Your last name is Huo?
Song Yuehua reacted, "Huo Minggui?"
"What is he doing here in the compound?"
Liu Xue sighed, "He said he was writing a story about a pig farmer and a prince recently, and he came to the pig farm to find some inspiration."
"A pig farmer and a prince," Song Yuehua said with disgust, "How dare he write that."
Tan Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Maybe writing the storybook is just an excuse, and coming to see our Xiaoxue is the real reason."
"He is really writing a storybook. He showed me all the stories he wrote before," Liu Xue said. "Oh, by the way, his last storybook was about a female hunter and a romantic prince."
"Female hunter..." Song Yuehua had a bad feeling and asked, "Is the book still there?"
Liu Xue nodded and said, "I'll show it to you tomorrow."
"Could it be that this female hunter is writing about the boss?" asked Qin Xiuxiu.
Looking around, within a ten-mile radius, there was no other female hunter except Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua doesn't want to be written into a storybook.
Xiaoyu came in with brown sugar eggs. Liu Xue asked her, "Have you told Master about your engagement with Zhang Rushan?"
Xie Yu blushed and nodded.
Tan Xiuxiu smiled and joked, "It is a blessing for the village that such a good girl like Xiaoyu can marry here. Fortunately, there is a Zhang Rushan in the village, otherwise no boy would be worthy of her."
