Going to pick pomegranates in the afternoon, Li Qiusui met the young master from the morning again at the gate of his courtyard.There are only two masters and servants left, and the boy who talks too much is nowhere to be seen.

Maybe I left beforehand.

Li Qiusui glanced over and didn't take it seriously, he was not familiar with him, so there was no need to run over to say hello.

Li Sizhu asked his wife and daughter to go there to help. The halfway up the mountain where the pomegranate tree was planted was rough and uneven, so it was not easy to go directly to the mule cart.

The mule cart was parked by the side of the road, and it was necessary to find a shady place, and people had to walk some distance to carry the baskets on their backs.

It is said that it is a small pomegranate tree, but there are dozens of them.Although there are not many fruits, but it is big, and it has more than ten large baskets, and it has to be carried back and forth more than ten times no matter what.

No matter how unreliable Li Sizhu is, he can't let his wife, daughter, and niece carry baskets.

"Sui Sui, your pomegranate is really big, don't you spend a lot of effort on weekdays?"

Two trees were also planted in the courtyard of the old house, and these should be a batch of seedlings, which were acquired by Li Sanzhu.If it's planted, no one has the time to worry about it, and it's not bad, but it's far worse than the ones here.

The speaker was Li Sizhu's daughter-in-law, Li Qiusui's fourth aunt.

At noon, Li Sizhu took home the big pomegranate, and the mothers said they would save it for viewing.

That taste, indescribably good...

"There are two trees planted in the courtyard of the old house. When I go home, I will ask your fourth uncle to serve you some snacks. I think such a big pomegranate can be sold in the county town. A single pomegranate may be worth a catty of meat." .”

"A catty of big meat, how many coppers is a catty of big meat worth? It's really long hair but short knowledge..."

Before Li Sizhu finished speaking, he saw his niece and daughter glaring at him angrily.

Li Sizhu was embarrassed, and immediately changed his tone: "I'm not talking about you two little girls! Zhangzhu's mother has suffered with me. She has been digging food in the soil all year round and is busy earning her life. She has no chance to go to the town twice. The county town is even worse. I haven’t been there for many years. How can I know what’s going on outside?”

Only then did Li Qiusui and Li Zhangzhu look away in satisfaction.

The sisters-in-law of the Li family can't be offended!
Li Sizhu wiped off his sweat, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he took the initiative to talk to his wife, "Ms. Zhangzhu, let me tell you, even before August and a half, a pomegranate this big could be worth a pound of meat." Already." Li Sizhu raised his hand and made a gesture, "My third brother's house is like this, but he's just two of them, don't talk about the taste!"

"How much is that worth? We shouldn't eat the one at noon, and save it for the third brother's family to sell for money!"

"Is my third brother's family short of those copper coins now? Give us Sui Sui..."

When Li Zhangzhu heard his parents say this in front of Sui Sui, his face turned red with embarrassment.

"Sui Shi..."

Li Qiusui didn't take it seriously, knowing that a girl at this age has the thinnest skin, so she took advantage of the opportunity to pull Li Zhangzhu away, "Zhangzhu, look how big are the tops of that tree! Let's pick it off for special purpose. Put it in a basket and save it for our grandma to worship the ancestors in August and a half."

Li Zhangzhu and Li Qiusui are only two months apart in age, they have called each other by first name since they were young, their parents are unreliable, this child is very sensible.

Knowing that Li Qiusui didn't mind, so he helped her out, so he frowned and smiled, "Okay, let's pick it off."

……

It is said that it is not far from home, and it will be evening after picking all the pomegranates and driving the mule cart home.

Li Sanzhu also came back from the rice field, helping unload the cart together with the young master and his servants.

More people work faster, more than a dozen large baskets, only a few trips per person.

Zhou Ping's family came over to invite people to have dinner, and Li Qiusui didn't know that the master and servant were staying at home tonight and they didn't plan to go back to the county.

He couldn't help frowning, and looked at the pair of master and servant.

The gap between this person and ordinary scholars is a bit too big. To study abroad in Linshan County, do you need someone who is so interested in agriculture?
The county magistrate Jiang wanted to promote Yuguoyuan's Ping'an fruit trees in this county. It was to accumulate merit and be promoted in the future.He ran twice in three days, even faster than county magistrate Jiang.As for the subordinates, they don't look like one at this age, nor with that style!
In the next afternoon, let's go to my paddy field to watch the rice again!
Is it because I am tired of studying and envious of being a farmer?
Li Qiusui narrowed his eyes and had to re-examine this person.

Wearing a cyan long gown of unknown material, with a very white skin, his appearance is considered outstanding.He has a serious demeanor and a cold demeanor, and his gestures give people a very upright feeling. Combined with his age, he seems too mature and has a sense of distance.

Li Qiusui stared at people for too long, Li Sanzhu suddenly stood in front of him, coughed deliberately and reminded: "Sui Sui and Zhang Zhu, go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready. There are too many of us tonight, It’s not possible to divide the table into two tables for dinner, you go over and help, we wash our hands and it’s over.”

Li Qiusui frowned and smiled.

No matter what his background is, if he dares to make a good idea, he stretches his claws towards his house and chops it up for you!

……

After dinner, Li Qiusui guessed that it was probably because of her previous appearance that she was intimidating, and the young master led the servants to wait for her.

"Miss Li, please wait a moment."

Li Qiusui was surprised, but this person has the patience to choose a place!After eating supper, she wandered around her home for casual meals, and went to the barn to pick pomegranates without being followed all the time.

They are waiting on the only way back to the inner courtyard.

Li Qiusui looked at the boy who was talking, this guy's face was even tighter than his master's, and he wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Miss Li, I'm sorry! I didn't promise you a meal at noon. It's because Mr. Jiang has something to do... Later, when I met Mr. Li, the ears of rice in his hand were much longer than ordinary ears, and the grains were full... ..."

"Wait..." Li Qiusui raised his hand to interrupt the chattering servant.

How do you say that?Why did it sound like I wanted to keep a meal, but others didn't appreciate it, and then for some unknown reason, they changed their minds and stayed for dinner.This master and servant misunderstood that he was angry with them?Is this explaining yourself?
Where is this going?

Li Qiusui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to say that it was just polite words, and his family was not bad for the meal they ate.

Hearing that young man finally opened his mouth, "Your family's Yuguoyuan is well-known in the capital, this will only make your family rich and not worry about money. But this will increase the rice production, and even increase it. Do you know how much this will benefit your family?"

Li Qiusui blinked his eyes.

Of course she knows!

Otherwise, she has no shortage of money in her hand, so why bother to study the herbs for growing rice?What is the reason for Da Ritou to follow her father to run to the ground?
