Chapter 463 Wan Qiqi Brings Miao Back
Chen Yongxing and Li Chongniang were surprised.
The elder sister-in-law not only persuaded Old Mrs. Chen to leave voluntarily, but also helped find people to farm.
At this time of year, it's hard to find a moment of leisure; every household is busy with farming.
The seeds have been sown, and the next step is to plow our few acres of land. Once the seedlings have grown, we'll start transplanting them.
The people's entire year's harvest depends on those few plots of land.
If things go well, there will be a bumper harvest, and for the next six months, there will be no need to worry about food. You can go out and find a job to support your family.
If things don't go well and the harvest isn't ideal, at least the taxes will be paid off, and you can go out and find work with more peace of mind.
The worst outcome was that they couldn't pay taxes and the government would take away their land and fields, turning them from farmers into hired laborers and from good people to lowly people.
The last outcome is something no one wants to see.
Therefore, it would be almost impossible for Wan Qiqi to find someone to help her grow vegetables at this time.
It's not worth sacrificing your own farmland for a small gain, resulting in a poor harvest.
Watching the old lady Chen leave, Chen Yongxing asked with some doubt, "Sister-in-law, will Grandma really go and find someone to help deal with the wasteland?"
Wan Qiqi glanced at her, then looked away, saying indifferently, "Let her be. If she can find the person, that's just what I want; if she can't, then it just means that the old lady has wasted all these years in Lotus Village!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped out of the courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, did you specifically ask Grandma to go looking for someone?" Li Chongniang asked from behind.
"Find an excuse to brush her off, otherwise she'll be blocking the doorway and getting in the way." Wan Qiqi walked around the vegetable garden and stopped behind it.
The mule was tied to the fence of the vegetable garden.
The mule cart behind it was piled high with seedlings; at a glance, you could almost tell there were six different kinds.
Although Chen Yongxing was unfamiliar with these seedlings, he still managed to find a few that had been planted in wasteland.
Judging from their growth, they are doing even better than those in wasteland, full of vitality.
He stared at it blankly for a while, a look of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law, your vegetable seedlings..."
"How was it? Not bad, right?" Wan Qiqi patted the mule cart track: "Don't mess this up again. If you die again, I'll really lose a fortune!"
“Okay, okay…” Chen Yongxing replied hastily, forgetting to ask where Miao came from.
Wan Qiqi was actually trying to scare Chen Yongxing and make him more careful in his actions.
She took a small portion of the seedlings from Lin Dazhuang; most of the seedlings were bought from the market and were more vigorous than those grown there.
This cartload of seedlings didn't cost much money; after all, she could earn that money back by harvesting a batch of wild vegetables.
"Sister-in-law, where did you buy these seedlings? I feel like I've never seen them before." Li Chongniang picked out a plant, looked at it for a long time, but couldn't recognize what kind of vegetable it was.
She worked in the fields with her mother since she was a child, and she knew everything about what vegetables were available and what the seedlings looked like.
But she had hardly ever seen the vegetable seedlings on her sister-in-law's truck.
The few I've seen are the ones that are also planted in my backyard. I don't know their names, and I don't know what they can grow into.
"It's a secret, you'll find out later!" Wan Qiqi grinned.
It was indeed a bit of a hassle to travel back and forth between the two places, but for her, it was a great convenience.
Because of the distance, she didn't know what the other person had or how much they had, so she could take advantage of the situation and mix in items she bought from the mall.
Upon hearing the word "secret," Chen Yongxing shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
My sister-in-law is always like this; she likes to beat around the bush and never explains things clearly.
However, everyone knows that what the eldest sister-in-law did was for the good of the Chen family, and that's enough!
"Alright, move the seedlings back to the yard, and ask around if anyone is free. We'll go to the wasteland tomorrow and plant the seedlings!" Wan Qiqi said, pulling the mule cart towards the yard.
Vegetable seedlings will die if left unplanted for a long time.
So we can only feel at ease if this is done as soon as possible.
After Wan Qiqi settled the seedlings, she took Chen Yongxing out and went to Chen Lizheng's house.
Compared to the empty houses of other families, Chenli Village was slightly more lively.
Chen Sanyuan had just finished working in the fields and was resting in the yard.
Sun Daxiong was sitting next to him.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Qiqi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She calmly walked in and asked, "Sanyuan, is your father home?"
Chen Sanyuan immediately stood up and greeted Wan Qiqi with a smile, "Sister-in-law Chen, my father is resting inside!"
He carefully examined Wan Qiqi and was relieved to see that she was not as lifeless as the rumors in the village suggested, but rather as energetic as before.
Sun Daxiong also stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Sister-in-law Chen!"
Wan Qiqi nodded slowly in response and said, "Big Bear, I heard you married a beautiful wife?"
Sun Daxiong blushed and lowered his head, scratching his head vigorously, looking somewhat shy. "Yes, she's from Guanshi Village, and she's very beautiful!"
"Then treat her well and don't let her down." Wan Qiqi smiled faintly and asked, "How's the farm work going at your house?"
"Not bad, almost done. That's why I've come to help Chen Lizheng!" Sun Daxiong replied cheerfully.
"You probably know about my wasteland. I pulled some seedlings from our vegetable garden and bought some more, hoping to replant it, but there are only four people in my family, and my wife has to take care of the children..."
Wan Qiqi hesitated, managing her awkwardness perfectly.
Sun Daxiong immediately replied, "It's alright, my wife knows how to farm. I'll have her go help you tomorrow!"
He always kept Lin Xiaohua in his heart.
