At night, Song Yuehua sat at the table writing a letter again.
"Sister Song, didn't you just finish writing it yesterday?" Xie Yu asked curiously.
Song Yuehua stopped writing and explained to her.
"Now that Xiaomian and Shitou have grown up, they want to find a way to make a living. I'll ask Wenwu and Xiaoyu if there are any suitable jobs there, and send them over to learn something. If nothing else, at least they can support themselves."
Xie Yu nodded. "I heard from Zhang Rushan that after the drought, many scholars are looking for work. If it were in the past, maybe they could be accountants, but now it's hard to say."
"The accountant may not be suitable, but just keep an eye on it first." Song Yuehua said.
Xie Yu rolled his eyes and said, "How about I go ask my second uncle?"
Song Yuehua quickly waved her hands, "Why bother your second uncle with this kind of thing..."
Besides, what can I do with Uncle Xie? Become a soldier? It would be better to learn how to dig wells.
"Second uncle is also very powerful," Xie Yu said unconvinced.
Song Yuehua hummed perfunctorily and lowered her head to continue writing the letter.
Xie Yu, "..."
The next day.
Dongshan is quite lively right now.
When Song Yuehua came over, Uncle Ma also came to the cotton field carrying a bamboo tube.
"What you are doing..." Song Yuehua took a look and roughly figured out what he meant.
Master Ma laughed and said, "You have a large area here. A few days ago, the couple was thinking about how to make watering more convenient. They came up with this thing. The water output is not large, which can save a lot of manpower."
Song Yuehua helped to assemble it and said, "I'm afraid you must have put a lot of thought into it."
"Hahaha." Uncle Ma laughed.
Although watering is convenient, it still requires manpower to draw water.
Song Yuehua came to the well and drew water bucket by bucket. After a while, Dao Xiaoyi also came over.
"Boss, I've finished my work at the compound, and Manager Liu asked me to come over and help you."
"You just finished your work, take a break first." Song Yuehua said, "I'll let you come later."
Dao Xiaoyi stood beside the well and said, "Boss, let me show my skills as well."
"Okay," Song Yuehua picked up the water and poured it into the empty bucket beside her, then handed the hemp rope to Dao Xiaoyi, "I'll leave it to you."
Dao Xiaoyi is very strong and he can talk while pulling water out.
"Strength can really be trained. I used to be able to only pump about ten buckets of water in one breath, but now I can pump 20 buckets of water without even taking a breath."
Seeing her moving so vigorously, Song Yuehua was a little worried, "Slow down, don't hurt your waist."
"Don't worry, boss. I'm still strong." Dao Xiaoyi said.
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Wouldn't it be good to go to school?" Song Yuehua asked, "When you learn to read and count, I will find you a job that saves effort."
Dao Xiaoyi put the bucket by the well and asked in confusion, "I have so much strength, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't work?"
"Okay, okay." Song Yuehua stopped talking to her.
Dao Xiaoyi really wants to work in Dongshan for the rest of her life, and Song Yuehua also really wants to make plans for her.
She is so strong, maybe she is suitable for martial arts training. Then she can wait for Master Duan to come back and let him see how she is.
We had lunch in the compound.
While eating, Liu Xue sat next to Song Yuehua and whispered, "Master, the food in the cellar is not enough."
We have stockpiled food until now, and it’s almost time to buy new food.
"What is the current price of grain?" Song Yuehua hadn't asked about the price of grain in the county for a long time.
Tang, who was standing by, said, "We bought some grain a few days ago. One pound of corn costs 20 wen."
This price has dropped a lot.
Song Yuehua nodded and said to Liu Xue, "I'll go to the county to buy it in a few days and have someone send it over."
Thinking about buying food, Song Yuehua worked for a while and then went home to settle the accounts.
When passing by the playground, he happened to see Pei Feng teaching three students in the martial arts class boxing.
"You are injured, don't open your eyes again, you still have to go to Wenzhou after you recover." Song Yuehua said, "I always feel uneasy when you are not with Xiaoyu."
Pei Feng touched the wound and said, "It's okay, it's almost healed."
Song Yuehua glanced at it and nodded, "Take a good rest."
"Um……"
Song Yuehua was about to leave when Pei Feng suddenly said, "Miss..."
"What's the matter?"
"Girl," Pei Feng lowered his head, his ears reddened, "When... can you return... to the village?"
Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment before she said gently, "Xiaoyu and Xiaobao are very important to me. Please protect them for me."
"I'll see if I can find a new martial artist this year and send him over to replace you. I'll return the indenture to you then, and you can go wherever you want in the future."
"No...I don't want to go anywhere else..." Pei Feng became panicked.
Song Yuehua said, "If you are worried about losing your job, I can also help you find a job in the countryside."
Pei Feng was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Girl, you don't have to look for any martial artists anymore. I will always protect the two girls for you."
"Don't you like the countryside?"
Song Yuehua tilted her head to look at him and said, "You have great skills. You won't have trouble finding work wherever you go. I don't want to let you down."
Pei Feng chuckled and shook his head, "That's not the case. I just think that you are always putting yourself in danger. You need me more than Miss Xiaoyu."
When it comes to this, Song Yuehua feels that as long as she is with Pei Feng, others will always get hurt. She even suspects whether she and Pei Feng are incompatible.
"Alas..." Song Yuehua said, "You should protect Xiaoyu."
After a long while, Pei Feng finally spoke, "Boss, I'm going back to Wenzhou tomorrow. Is there anything else you want me to bring?"
