Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 76 Zhu Yu and Xuemei Ask for Cotton
The sky was getting dark, but the atmosphere in Beiying was still lively.

"Miss Zhu is here!"

"Sister Zhu Yu!"

"Ms. Zhu, how is your foot injury?"

There were no oil lamps, and the villagers who were doing their own work by the skylight at the door greeted each other warmly.

Zhu Yu responded with a smile, and met Xiaowa who grabbed a handful of beans and stuffed them into their hands.

He walked to the door of Cuiping's bamboo shed familiarly, "Hey, sister Xuemei is here too?"

"Sister Zhu Yu!"

Dong Sheng's face brightened, he quickly put down the thatch in his hand, moved the pony and put it behind Zhu Yu.

"Why isn't Cuiping here? What are you doing? What are you doing rubbing thatch?"

Zhu Yu rubbed his little head, handed over the small round box in his hand, and knelt down to help.

"All the reeds around here have been wiped clean, so I can only use this. Cuiping and Madam went to spin in the big drying yard after dinner, why didn't you see it?"

"No..." Zhu Yu lowered her head guiltily and rubbed the thatch vigorously.

Patronizing to see Populus euphratica at work and the spinning wheel that he has been obsessed with, how can he have nothing else to do.

"Tsk, the reeds are not warm, and this grass is definitely not good. How will their family survive this winter..." Zhu Yu rubbed his lips for a while, "How about, when the cotton is bought back, I will find old uncle Tan to learn how to play cotton .”

After talking, he left the thatch and turned around with a smile, and ran to the village.

There was a knock on the door, but Shu Yingtong didn't look up, "Come in."

The wind blowing in from the door pushed the flame of the oil lamp aside, and the room was a little darker.

"Is there something? Close the door first."

"Hey..." Zhu Yu closed the door, dragged a stool and sat opposite her with a smile on her face, "Girl, can I let Mrs. An..."

"can."

"Huh? I haven't finished yet..." Zhu Yu widened her eyes and leaned forward slightly.

The person opposite didn't even give a glance, just continued to draw those incomprehensible lines on the paper.

"waste time."

"Would you like me to finish?" Zhu Yu moved the stool with a wrinkled face, and moved a little closer.

"If you want to learn, learn."

"how do you know!"

Shu Yingtong put down the brush, looked at her, raised her chin slightly, "I will learn how to secretly take my cotton, flick it into cotton wool and give it to others secretly."

"Do you want to know me so well..."

Frustrated, Zhu Yu slumped her shoulders and lay down on the edge of the table, stretched out her index finger to lift up and down the corners of the drawing, and whispered in frustration.

"I went to Beiying tonight. Dongsheng's family is so pitiful... they can't even grab the reeds..."

"Hmm. Isn't the Lin family opposite him pitiful?" Shu Yingtong lowered her head and continued to draw the plan, talking calmly.

"Huh? I didn't go to see it, but their house is drying grass too..."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and his hand excitedly pulled the blueprint, "I know! The girl wants us to buy more cotton tomorrow, right?"

Seeing Shu Yingtong's immediately sinking face, he said with a stiff smile, "What's wrong, why are you suddenly unhappy..."

"Why do you say?"

Following her line of sight, Zhu Yu lowered her head, and there was a long discordant black line on the paper, the end of which was the tip of a brush.

A horn was ripped off from the side of his head.

"Uh...hehe..." Zhu Yu smiled dryly and put back the cut paper in his hand, "The paper made of grass is easy to pull... I just pulled it lightly..."

"go out."

"Oh."

Zhu Yu got up dejectedly and went out, closed the door and looked at the moon with a big smile.

Pull up your legs and rush to Beiying.

The girl was only angry that she broke the blueprint, not that she wanted to buy more cotton!
Tuk Tuk Tuk…

There was another knock on the door.

Staring at the paper on the table in a daze, Shu Yingtong came back to her senses, "Come in."

"what's up."

Xuemei who closed the door looked at the stool opposite the table and smiled knowingly, "Has Zhu Yu been here?"

Generally, when you come to talk to a girl, you basically move the stool by yourself, and put the stool back in place when you leave.

Regardless of moving or collecting, except for that idiot Zhu Yu, I really can't think of anyone else who can be so careless.

"Yes." Shu Yingtong nodded, turned to look at Xuemei who was hesitant, and pointed to the stool opposite, "Sit down, if it's for cotton, I will agree."

Xuemei smiled in relief, sat upright on the stool, with her hands folded on her lap.

"You can't hide anything from the girl, so I won't mention it. Thinking about it, the girl probably visited Beiying."

"Well. You have to drink water and pour it yourself."

"I won't drink it anymore." Xuemei shook her head, smiling helplessly, "The water I drank over there today is still enough. This one has drunk it, and if I go to another one and don't drink it, I'm afraid they will think I despise them."

"If you don't want to drink, don't drink it. What do you do to embarrass yourself? Is it possible that they will change their impression of you because you don't drink their water? Worrying is unfounded."

"Yes, I will remember it next time." Xuemei replied with a smile, "Is there something else you want to keep me?"

Shu Yingtong frowned slightly, and tapped the table lightly, "I see that many people over there are drying grass at the door, they can't afford oil lamps, they all burn pots, and do things by the light of the fire."

"There are bamboo sheds over there, and there are a lot of sundries. If you don't pay attention to a fire at one house, that area will be implicated. You go to inform them tomorrow morning and ask them to move the sundries by the stove at the door to another place. Make sure to turn off the fire before going to bed. .”

"Also, if a fire breaks out because of those stove fires, as long as there are casualties, all Beiying will be driven out of the village."

After Xuemei listened carefully, she was a little puzzled at first, why everyone should be implicated in a family fire.

After thinking about it, I understood that this move is intended to supervise each other, and people who are related to themselves will always care more.

"Okay, I'll go now."

The next day.

There were three carts parked in the drying yard, and three people stood at the door of Shu Yingtong's room.

Shu Yingtong took two bags of silver and handed them to Nie Kaicheng and Hu Yang respectively. Before she could speak, Zhu Yu squeezed in front of her with a shy smile.

"I've only touched copper plates, but haven't touched silver yet. Let me take the bag of silver. I'm sure I won't lose it. Okay?"

"Not good. There are many people in the county." Shu Yingtong rejected her without hesitation.

The county seat is no longer a gathering place for hungry people. Merchants and hawkers continue to do business as usual, and the flow of people should not be small.

With this stupid personality, he must be curious about everything, and it's hard to say whether he will lose money or not.

"Let me carry it for a while... I just want to know how it feels to hold Yinzi in my arms..."

With her head down, Zhu Yu retreated to one side and supported the door frame, thinking suddenly, a slender hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and a small silver ingot was lying on the palm.

"Go ahead."

The cold voice above the head lit up Zhu Yu's face.He immediately grabbed it with a happy smile, took out an old gray money bag with patches, and put it in solemnly.

He shook it in his hand, and the copper plate and silver collided with each other.

Looking at Shu Yingtong with a smile, "Hee hee~ It's so nice. Can I carry this little ingot all the time?"

"Excellence..." Shu Yingtong turned around with disgust on his face and walked towards the river.

"It's yours if you give it to you."
