Chapter 203 Some regrets
The study door opened, and Yuniang came in, curtseying.

"Ma'am, Li Zhong is back."

"Let him in." Cheng Xue put down the medical book and walked to the square table.

Ever since Li Hui took the two children away, she would hide in the study whenever she was free.Li Huai doesn't know which stage he has entered recently, and he likes to shout at the top of his voice.

Sharp and thin, especially harsh.

I came to the study room to call it a medical book, but when I picked it up, my mind was empty, and I couldn't read it at all.

After being interrupted by Xiao Qinglin that day, the two of them never had a chance to be alone again.Thinking about it now is a bit regretful, and without communication equipment, going out is equivalent to no news, which is very tormenting.

Li Zhong came in and put the cloth bag on the table, cupped his hands and said:

"Madam, the villain met with the stewards of Huiju Building and Jingshui Building. Master Xiao explained before he left that the trip went smoothly. This is a document signed with them."

The cooperation agreement between the two parties was written by Cheng Xue.She likes to put the words in black and white into writing, otherwise it is not clear if there is a mistake.

The content of the agreement is the transportation of vegetables, as well as the price and other issues.Although Xiao Qinglin thought of her everywhere, she was not a player who couldn't take advantage of her.

It is reasonable to sell vegetables to be responsible for delivery, but there is a shortage of manpower, so I make up for it in terms of price.

Looking at the signed document, Cheng Xue took out the one from Yujiatun and handed it to him.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will send it to my uncle's house tomorrow. You can rest in the afternoon. I don't need you here."

"Yes, thank you, Ma'am." Li Zhong cupped his hands and continued, "The steward of Master Xiao's dry goods shop found the villain and asked if we could help make open pine nuts. They will give Sanwen wages for every catty of pine nuts they produce."

A catty of three Wen, which is a lot.

"Strange, didn't they ask for the prescription last year and make it themselves? Why did they come to us?"

"Returning to Madam, the dry goods store has a lot of orders this year, and they are too busy. If Master Xiao hadn't left, a workshop would have been built in the county, but Master Xiao is now on a study tour, and no one is looking for it, so the steward found you."

When Cheng Xue heard this, she immediately understood that Xiao Qinglin presumably offered him a way to make money.

This job is not difficult as long as you master the method.For firewood and water, ten catties can cost five cents, which is a lot, and it is very profitable.

"Okay, you can make arrangements. Use the room where Mrs. Wen lives, and then use the room that was not filled with soil. You don't need to find any more manpower, as sister-in-law and the others will be enough."

"Yes." After Li Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Farming in the west of the village, a total of 15 people were found. They were paid five copper coins a day, regardless of food.For those who couldn't come, it happened that Gunn, Yang, Fang and others made up the numbers.Mrs. Dong Xu couldn't make it through. She cooks in the forest farm and earns a lot of money every month.

It was originally agreed that when there is no work after the vegetables are planted, everyone will take turns.Now there is no need, all according to the sky, seven copper coins a day.

Just as he was about to open the door, he heard Li Huai's shrill voice.

"Shut up! Sidan! From now on, whenever you yell like that, I will beat you."

"sister--"

"how?"

"Not so bad, eat pine nuts."

Blood suppression, although late but arrived.

Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to go to Westinghouse.Li Yue is learning embroidery from Bai Shao, and it was only when she was rushing to make clothes in those few days that she realized that her female popularity is very strong.

Single-sided embroidery, double-sided embroidery, fishbone embroidery, pick embroidery...

She embroiders elegant patterns on the ready-made clothes, not many, not big, just the finishing touch.

The original owner knew how to embroider with simple straight needles, and Cheng Xue improved it, but she couldn't embroider the effect she wanted.It just so happened that Bai Shao met, and she liked all the newly made clothes.

"Mom, are you going to plant the fields tomorrow?"

Cheng Xue nodded, "Tomorrow you will go with me, and you will also take on the work of pine nuts and hazelnuts. When the time comes, you will be with Uncle Zhong. Remember to separate the accounts and write them down clearly."

"okay, I get it."

Cheng Xue still wanted to tell her, but Li Tian ran over and dragged her back to the east room.

"Mom, I want to play with Trini, can you stop Bai Zhi from following me?"

"What's wrong? Is she okay?"

Li Tian pursed his lips, gave a muffled "hmm" and nodded.

This response made her dumbfounded, she sat down sideways and asked:
"What a bad idea, tell your mother."

"I played with Trini in the sand, but she said it was dirty, and she wouldn't let me play. The piss man is just you picking it up, and I'm picking it up." Li Tian pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, with a displeased expression on his face.

Farm children don't play much, they just scrape sand, play with soil, etc.

It is a game to make a pile of sand with a small wooden stick in the middle. You pick it up and I pick it up. Whoever pulls the stick upside down will be the loser.

When Li Tian and the others went out to play, Cheng Xue never cared.Let Bai Zhi follow, just to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

The big tree attracts the wind, and now the family conditions are good, she is afraid that some people will touch the child, but she didn't expect to spoil the little girl's interest.

"It's okay, you just go and play, Mother told Bai Zhi."

"Then I change clothes now."

After Li Tian finished speaking, he ran to Westinghouse, followed by Li Huai.He is very follow-up now, wherever his sister goes, he goes.

Cheng Xue didn't blame Bai Zhi, but just told her to be optimistic about Li Tian, ​​as for how she wanted to play, how she wanted to play, she could do whatever she wanted.The little girl was smart and immediately understood what she meant.

"Madam, don't worry, this servant has made a note."

"Be good." Cheng Xue patted her on the shoulder encouragingly, "Take them inside to keep warm if they feel cold."

"Okay." Bai Zhi agreed, and took Li Tian and Li Huai out.

It was rare that the east room was quiet, Cheng Xue lay on the kang and closed her eyes to rest.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Mrs. Wang came out with a river carp weighing about eight catties in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to... ah, are you asleep?"

"No." Cheng Xue hurriedly sat up, and said in surprise, "Where can I get such a big river carp? It's a lot of money."

It costs a small amount of money to pay ten cents a catty.

Wang smiled and handed the fish to Yuniang, saying:
"The child's father went to the town to do errands today, and he met him when he came back. The price was negotiated, and it cost eight cents a catty. Yu Niang, let's stew it now, add more vermicelli, the children love it."

"Good Cousin, this servant will do it now."

Recently, Mrs. Wang is in good spirits on happy occasions.The work of recording and calculating wages in the forest farm finally fell on Yu Zhao's shoulders.

Xiao Qinglin had nothing to do with taking over this job, it was entirely because he fell in love with Xiao Feng.

It is said that several people wanted to do this job at that time, but Xiao Feng didn't like any of them.When I went to the cabin, I saw Yu Zhao who was dialing the abacus, so I immediately ordered him.

The fate between people is really hard to tell, no one thought that Yu Zhao would be reused in the end.

Now Yu Zhao no longer leaves early and returns late like before.Occasionally going to the county can still rest at home, earning more than when doing two jobs before.

Yu Zhao was also given a key to the house in the county, so he could go and live in it at any time.

Tell her about the work of picking up pine nuts, Mrs. Wang can't help nodding,

"Oh, that's a good relationship. In this way, everyone can work and make money all winter."

While talking, Mrs. Wang is looking forward to the things she needs to buy for the New Year's shopping this year...
