Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

A few men came in through the back door with hoes and poles, and they were all vigilant.

Li Changhui kept his wife and children behind him, and frowned at these people: "We are the owners of this house, who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Huh? Master Li?"

An old man came out from behind them, who happened to be the one who had seen Li Changhui.

Li Changhui also recognized him: "Uncle Yang?"

Then his eyes fell on the others: "Who are you?"

Uncle Yang came to his senses and quickly waved his hands at those people: "Misunderstanding, this is Mr. Li, the owner of this house, you go back first."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they left for the time being. There was only one young man who followed Uncle Yang. The young man looked a lot like Uncle Yang. He must be either his son or his grandson.

Li Changhui also explained to Lin He that this Uncle Yang was a handyman who worked here when he was building the house.

Not only Uncle Yang, but also many individuals who were looking for in the vicinity. They were all farm laborers or tenants from other manors.

Uncle Yang is the person who helps organize and manage the handymen, saving them from going to the city to find handymen, not to mention the delay, and having to manage them specially, which is very troublesome.

It was precisely because of this that although Li Changhui hadn't come to town a few times, he still knew Uncle Yang. After all, every time he came, Uncle Yang would come to report to him.

After the others left, Uncle Yang explained embarrassingly: "Master Li, it was all a misunderstanding just now. When the work was finished, Foreman Liu told us that it would take some time for you to move here. Let us usually help you pay attention, so just now ..."

So just now when I saw a carriage coming over and turning into the yard from the back of the house, I mistook them for thieves.

Li Changhui shook his head: "It's okay, and I would like to thank you for your concern. I specially brought my wife and children to see this time. If there is no accident, we will move here before summer, and we will all be neighbors in the future."

Uncle Yang was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly. Seeing his embarrassment, Li Changhui said, "Uncle Yang, you should do your work first. I'll take the children to have a look, and I'll be back later."

"Hey, okay, let's go out first then."

After Uncle Yang left, Lin He asked, "When I came here just now, I saw quite a few Zhuangzi. Are there many people around here?"

This is related to the matter of finding people to work in the spring and autumn harvests in the future, so we can't be sloppy.

"It's quite a lot, but when it's time for the autumn harvest and spring plowing, everyone has to be busy with their own work, and they still have to go to the city to find someone to work."

This has been inquired about a long time ago, so there is nothing surprising.

"The land outside the county seat is not as good as in our town, and the wasteland is not cheap. It is difficult for hired farmers and tenants to buy their own land. Most of the tenants and hired farmers live in the landlord's village."

It is said to be Zhuangzi, but it is actually a very simple and simple house, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain, and the food it gets every year is just trying not to starve to death.

To put it nicely, it's not much different from being a slave without a bond.

Moreover, these people have no land, no houses, and even a difficult way to get out of this place. Most of them have no roots and foundation all their lives, and died on other people's land.

Such people are not in the minority.

Lin He felt emotional when he heard this, and felt again that fortunately they can make money by themselves, so they don't have to work so hard.

The family wandered around the yard for a while, and felt that there was nothing to see, so they prepared to go back.

Li Changhui has already decided that he will go back temporarily after having lunch with everyone.

Although Lin He felt that he was too rushed, he also knew what Li Changhui meant. Since he wanted to move, in order not to affect this year's grape harvest, the sooner the better, the sooner the better.

When they went out, it was still the same as before. After they went out, Li Changhui tied the latch from the inside, and then went out directly over the wall.

The family returned to the inn just in time for lunch. There were a lot of people eating at noon today, so they simply ordered food to eat in the room.

Lin Heshen felt that he was fine, so he refused to take the medicine, and Li Changhui didn't force it.

"Brother Hui, do you really want to go back today? No matter how urgent you are, it won't take a day or two. Why don't you wait until the day after tomorrow?"

However, Li Changhui shook his head: "After the Lantern Festival, everything in the city will return to normal, even the number of patrolling yamen servants will be reduced a lot, and some young people will resume their activities, so I don't worry about leaving you here alone at that time. "

Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, the county magistrate must attach great importance to it. In the past few days, no matter day or night, there are a lot more yamen servants patrolling the streets than usual.

Li Changhui said that, and Lin He couldn't persuade him anymore.

I didn't think much about it before, but now I don't want to go back to Yonghe Town at all, at least for the past two years, I don't want to go back.

But there is one more problem.

"Then if Yu'er, Hao'er, and An'er are studying, do they need to find another school first?"

Before they came out, they didn't think about going back, so they took a day off from the academy in the town, and planned to go back to school on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

As a result, I didn't expect this to come out, so I didn't plan to go back.

"Yes, wait until tomorrow morning or the day after tomorrow to have a look, don't worry."

Because I didn't expect it to be so urgent, and I didn't inquire about it before, so I can only settle down first, and then arrange the admission.

Lin He sighed: "It's a pity that Uncle Er and the others have gone to Guanzhou Mansion, otherwise, it would be much more convenient to ask Uncle Er directly about the situation."

They stopped being in Nanzhi County last year. They must have followed Young Master Liu, brought soybean oil and wine, and went to Guanzhou Mansion to continue to take root. After all, their second uncle happened to be the chief steward of the Liu family's oil mill.

But now, the person who trades wine with them has long since changed from Young Master Liu himself to another steward of Nanzhi County.

With these two things, not to mention Guanzhou Prefecture, even the capital city may be able to open up the market. As for whether it can gain a firm foothold, that is another matter.

"It's okay, I've been here often in the past few years, and I've heard about it, so I'll just ask more about it then."

There are many academies in Nanzhi County, but some academies specialize in accepting the children of officials, merchants and merchants; of course, there are also academies that specialize in accepting students from poor families, and some only accept students with high academic talents.

Unlike Yonghe Town, there are dozens of colleges in Nanzhi County, big and small, and it is difficult to find one that suits their children.

While eating and discussing things, just like before, the three children listened to each other, and asked questions from time to time if they didn't understand.

But one thing has never changed.

The things that parents discussed at the dinner table didn't avoid them, but they couldn't take it outside and talk nonsense.

The three children always remembered this point, even Li An, the youngest, never made a mistake.
