Chapter 84

Liu Qingcao wobbled back to Shihe Village. At this time, the sky had begun to darken. Outside Liu Qingcao's yard, Chen Cuizhi and the others were anxiously walking around in place.

"Brother Dayong, why hasn't the girl come back yet? It's so late."

Chen Cuizhi looked at Pan Yong with worry, and asked eagerly, if Pan Yong hadn't stopped her, she would have run out of the village by now.

"Cuizhi, don't worry. The girl went to the town with her things. She must have chatted with friends for a while. Why don't you wait a little longer. If you haven't come back, I'll look for it."

Pan Yong calmed down and comforted Chen Cuizhi. In fact, he didn't know what to do. It's just that the family members were old and young, so he couldn't panic.

"Here, why hasn't the girl come back!"

After waiting for 10 minutes, Chen Cuizhi became more anxious, fidgeting, and kept shaking back and forth in front of Pan Yong. Pan Yong also became anxious as he watched the sky darken.

"Cuizhi, look at home, I'll go out and look for it."

"No, I want to go with you." Chen Cuizhi grabbed Pan Yong by the corner of his clothes with a firm tone.

"No, they are still at home safely, let's all go, what should I do if I run around for a while, you keep it, I will go and have a look."

Pan Yong rejected Chen Cuizhi straight away. It seemed that the day would be dark, and the two of them who could do things left. If the old man Niu and the child were in need, the family would be in chaos.

"Then, be careful on the road, and bring the girl back earlier." Chen Cuizhi looked at Pan Yong tearfully, and reluctantly loosened the corner of his clothes.

"Okay, you stay at home, I'm leaving."

Without waiting for Chen Cuizhi to answer, Pan Yong quickly disappeared in front of her.

As soon as Liu Qingcao drove the bullock cart into the village entrance, she saw a familiar figure in the distance, walking quickly towards this side.

Brother Pan?
It seems that she came back too late and made them worry.

"Brother Pan, I'm back."

Liu Qingcao yelled at him at the top of his voice, telling him not to walk so fast.

When Pan Yong heard the voice, he looked into the distance and confirmed that it was Liu Qingcao. He was relieved, but he still walked fast.

"Brother Pan, I made you worry, come up and sit." Liu Qingcao patted the bullock cart and asked him to come up.

Pan Yong looked her up and down, and he was relieved when he saw that she came back with a full body.

Climbing into the ox cart, Pan Yong took the whip and drove the ox home.

"Back?" Chen Cuizhi looked at the black spot in the distance, rubbed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she could vaguely see the shadow of the bullock cart.

"Girl is back, I have to go and add fire to the food." Chen Cuizhi said happily, then turned and went to the kitchen.

When Liu Qingcao arrived outside the courtyard, they saw Chen Cuizhi coming out of the kitchen.

"Girl, you're back, you're hungry, wash up and eat, I've already heated up the food."

Chen Cuizhi sized him up from head to toe, with concern in his eyes.

"Sister Chen, I'm fine, but it made you worry for a while. Let's eat. If I come back late, I will eat first, and you don't have to wait for me."

Liu Qingcao felt warm in her heart, it was great that someone in the family was always thinking about her.

"I see, girl, hurry up and wash your hands. It's been a busy day, so I have to rest early tonight." Chen Cuizhi filled the water and urged her. In her eyes, she had already regarded Liu Qingcao as herself child.

These days, when they got along, she didn't cross that line, but she was also doing a good job as an elder.

Liu Qingcao also saw it, seeing her urging worry, she would feel that she was not alone.

After dinner, Liu Qingcao quickly washed up and went to bed under the care of Chen Cuizhi.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning came through the window and hit Liu Qingcao's face, which was extremely gentle and beautiful.

"Have a good night's sleep!"

Liu Qingcao stretched her waist, her tone was lazy.

"Girl, breakfast is ready." Chen Cuizhi's voice sounded outside the door, Liu Qingcao responded, put on her clothes and went out.

Pan Yong had already gone to the town. The old man Niu had breakfast and was resting. She was the only one who fell asleep and woke up now.

"Sister Chen, are Uncle Liu here?"

"Come on, I've already brought people there, and I'm using plant ash to draw a baseline according to your requirements."

Chen Cuizhi nodded and brought out the breakfast, Liu Qingcao asked while eating.

"There are also vegetables in the field, and the people from Brother Jiang's side have also started to work?"

"That's right, girl. I've been working for a while. I've already explained to them. Don't worry, Brother Dayin has arranged it very well."

Chen Cuizhi looked at Liu Qingcao with a smile, she told her about these things last night, she was afraid that she would forget, so she dragged Pan Yong to recall them on the bed at night.

"Alright then, I'll go and have a look later."

Liu Qingcao quickly picked up the rice in the bowl, and went to have a look at it after a while, there are so many radishes, cucumbers and peppers, if they are not handled properly, they will have to be scrapped at that time.

The summer wind was blowing, adults and children in the field were very busy, Liu Qingcao walked by Wang Chunhua, and saw that she was pulling a radish in each hand, happily.

Not far away, Jiang Dayin was arranging for people to wash and dry the vegetables.

"Second brother Jiang, what's the matter, let's all go along with it."

"By the way, they're all country folks, so it's easy to talk about. There are already people washing the pebbles by the river, and the cut vegetables can be laid out to dry later."

Jiang Dayin pointed to the large pebbles exposed on the other side of the river. Originally, Liu Qingcao told him to hang the rope to dry, but he felt that drying on the stones would dry faster and cost less money, so he decided to do it on his own. According to Liu Qingcao, it makes sense.

Liu Qingcao nodded. Indeed, the method Jiang Dayin said is the best. The stone conducts heat quickly, and it will dry out in a few days.

But there is also one disadvantage, that is, when harvesting, especially the cut radishes, they will stick to the stones and it is not easy to harvest.

"Green grass, don't worry about it being inconvenient to harvest. The big sisters in our village just tried it. As long as you cut it into a larger size, it will be easy to tear off when you take it out."

"That's fine, just follow what you said, we don't have to pull the rope, and it saves a lot of time."

Liu Qingcao is not very clear about this. From her cognition, she only remembers the vegetable slices that were dried in the dustpan when she was a child. The same as the net.

"Except for the vegetable plots reserved for the artisans to make meals on these ten acres of land, I estimate that it will take seven days to get them all done. By the way, those cucumber seeds and vegetable leaves, why don't you, If you don’t want me to sell it cheaply to the villagers, let them take it back.”

Jiang Dayin looked at the radish sprouts and cucumber seeds all over the place, feeling a little distressed.

It's not that he wants it too much, but some villagers, especially those children, need these vegetable leaves very much, and it's a pity to throw them away.

"If you don't sell it, just take it. By the way, in the evening, let everyone bring a basket of vegetables back to eat."

Liu Qingcao knew that Jiang Dayin felt sorry for the discarded vegetables, but she had so many vegetables, and naturally they would not be needed, but she would not see people in the village go hungry, but she cruelly used these vegetables to fertilize .

They can take these vegetable leaves if they want, but she has so many vegetables, how can she watch them eat the vegetable leaves?
Jiang Dayin nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the woman in front of him whose chest was smaller than his, his admiration increased sharply.

As his mother said, Liu Qingcao is a smart person and a righteous woman.
