Chapter 109

On the carriage back, Lu Yumin told Li Sanlin about Li Chenglin, and he sighed, "Daughter-in-law, I don't know how to say it. This woman is also a poor woman. She was sold to such a family. This Li Chenglin is not a successful person." You guys! But since it’s sold in, let’s live a good life, I’m afraid it won’t be too easy for Mr. Li to save up the money to buy his wife!”

Lu Yumin hugged his arm and let out a long sigh: "Women in this world really don't have human rights!"

Li Sanlin asked puzzledly: "Daughter-in-law, what is this human right?"

Lu Yumin explained: "It's respect and attention! A woman can be sold by her family at any time, no wonder she cries, it's okay to be sold to a person with good character, as long as the two are hardworking and can bear hardships, in the future I'm not afraid! I'm afraid that men are ineffective and treat women badly, so she will have to cry a lot in her life!"

Li Sanlin immediately said: "Daughter-in-law, although I am poor, I am not lazy. I will work hard and never let you suffer!"

Lu Yumin hugged his arm tightly and said, "I am the one with good luck! I met a man with good character!"

Li Sanlin asked sweetly in his heart: "Daughter-in-law, do you really think so?"

Lu Yumin nodded happily: "Well, I really think so now!"

Li Sanlin lowered his head, rubbed his warm and soft lips on Lu Yumin's lips, and sucked repeatedly. His tongue got in when she was panting, and entangled with her little tongue fiercely. Lu Yumin felt that This man is getting more and more domineering, he always kisses people as if he wants to swallow them up!
The reins were tightened unexpectedly, and the carriage was forced to go astray. Lu Yumin exclaimed unexpectedly: "Master! Be careful, the horses are going to be driven into the fields by you! You are so unscrupulous!" Look, if passers-by see us, they will think we are a couple cheating on each other!"

Li Sanlin burst out laughing, sighed again, and said, "Daughter-in-law, you are so sweet, I really want it, what should I do?"

Lu Yumin twisted his waist: "I think you're really crazy! Damn you, if your daughter-in-law goes to the field, I'm afraid you'll be No. 1 in the world!"

The two talked and laughed and let the horse walk back slowly until the moon was high up before returning home. Of course, after the big hungry wolf, who was full of sperm, came home and washed, a hungry wolf pounced on the little one. The sheep swallowed it!
The days passed by happily, and the business in the store was pretty good. After deducting the cost and adding the pigs sent to the restaurant, there was an income of ten taels a month, looking at a lot of broken silver. , Lu Yumin sighed and said: "Master, it seems that the ancients are really right, a fat field is not as good as a thin shop! You see, if this is farming, all the grain of our three acres of land will be sold, and it is really not worth ten taels." Where's the silver!"

Li Sanlin looked at the contented daughter-in-law and said: "Isn't it because of your hard work? Not everyone in this world has craftsmanship, let alone everyone has brains! When there is more money, Gu Gu will come to help , to save you from being busy all day long!"

Lu Yumin said longingly on Li Sanlin's chest: "Although opening a shop can earn a little money, it can't support our family's big expenses! We still have to find ways to earn more money, and then we build houses, send our children to school, and then buy more money." Twenty acres of land, and then I will collect rent at home and be a landlady!"

Li Sanlin kissed the little daughter-in-law on his chest, and he was moved by her thoughts: "Okay, I will try my best to earn money, and then let my daughter-in-law be a landlady! Go to the tenant's house to collect rent every day if you have nothing to do! "

Lu Yumin was amused by Li Sanlin's words and laughed "haha": "You think I'm Huang Shiren? I specialize in collecting rent and forcing debts to grab food?"

Li Sanlin said indifferently: "I don't care about Huang Shiren and Bai Shiren, as long as my wife is happy!"

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Yumin remembered the rubber tree in the first half of the year, so she asked Li Sanlin to take her and Uncle Qin up the mountain together. When they got to the tree, Lu Yumin tried to cut it with a knife. Sure enough, the snow-white rubber flowed out from the bark. She got a little excited!
She had cut rubber when she visited before, and she knew that the rubber should be cut well, a tree can be cut for two seasons, the main thing is not to hurt the tree body, so she tried to cut gently, and after a while, it seemed like a puff The water from the paddle curves into the keg.

It was not a quick task to collect the glue. The three of them searched around along the mountain, trying to find a few more rubber trees. Their hard work paid off. On several hillsides, they found four or five trees. Lu Yumin directed Two days later, glue tapping started.

I don't know if it is possible to make the most primitive rubber, so Lu Yumin went back after collecting the rubber from these trees. She thought that when she made a trial of the rubber that can be used to make shoe soles, she would then Let people come, and later she became the first inventor in the world who can make rubber soles and wheels.

Back home, Lu Yumin carefully recalled the process of refining rubber at that time, but she didn’t know if there was sulfur in this world. At present, the only way she can try is to use raw rubber with pine tar or coal tar, and charcoal together. Already practiced, although she has seen many times of refining before, but she is very unconfident!

No matter how many times she tried, she could only try out some lumpy, cracked, hard rubber camels or lumps. She tried several barrels of raw rubber, but she didn't succeed, but she knew that she had no other skills. Only by trying out something that can be used as a shoe sole, maybe it is her way to make a fortune!
Li Sanlin saw that she was so busy every day, she made a bunch of black and hunchback things, threw them, pinched them, chopped them, pressed them, and then threw them aside, he asked with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, Not enough?"

Lu Yumin said annoyedly: "Why can't I find this kind of book to read? I remember that there was a book that was written like this before. Why can't I get it out?"

Li Sanlin comforted her and said: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, take your time, this thing doesn't cost money, if it breaks, I'll cut it off for you!"

This thing doesn't need money, but it can't be sold for money!Lu Yumin thought to herself, you don't know how valuable this thing is, once it was worth one tael of gold for a seed!

Alas, forget it, it's something that can't be rushed anyway, Lu Yumin let go of the restlessness in her heart, and started refining again.

The autumn harvest was coming soon, so Lu Yumin put down the experiments in her hands. After all, she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. In the ancient times when there were no chemicals, it was really difficult to make this rubber. She planned to take her time.

On August [-]th, Lu Yumin prepared some homemade things and went to the county with Li Sanlin. A letter was sent two days ago saying that Mrs. Tang gave birth to a fat son. It's impossible not to go.

As soon as they entered the yard, there was a buzz of people. When Steward Ping saw their husband and wife coming, he immediately stepped forward to ask someone to lead the carriage, and then led them into the house. After the third entrance, there were many people in the hall. Lu Yumin followed Hong'er into the inner house .

"Oh, this is my cousin?" A middle-aged woman in her forties called out.

Lu Yumin didn't know this person, so she nodded with a smile: "Hi, mom!"

After hearing the woman's cry, when Lu Yumin entered the room, everyone looked at her, which made her really uncomfortable!But anyway, she is just a cousin, but she is no longer a cousin, so there is no need to care about it!
"Sister-in-law, are you okay? Congratulations on your precious son!" Lu Yumin first greeted Zhu Shuhui on the bed.

Zhu Shuhui was very enthusiastic when she saw her: "Mother, you are here? Sit down and look at your eldest nephew! Last time you said that my birth is probably a son, I still don't believe it. , I admire you!"

At this time, a 44-year-old middle-aged lady looked at Zhu Shuhui and asked, "Hui'er, is this the cousin you mentioned?"

Zhu Shuhui hurriedly introduced: "Mother, this is the master's cousin, and he and the master are already considered brothers and sisters!"

When the mistress is not around, Zhu Shuhui dares to call her own mother!Aunt Chen said "Oh": "Grandma's eyesight is really accurate! You can tell Hui'er's baby is a boy at a glance!"

Lu Yumin smiled shyly and said, "No one is as amazing as Madam said, I'm just talking nonsense and I'm confused!"

Knowing that Lu Yumin had nothing on her mind to be Tang Yunqing's child, Zhu Shuhui became really close to Lu Yumin, especially when she asked Uncle Qin to send some local goods to the city from time to time, which made the cousin-in-law feel good.

Seeing that her cousin is very modest and reserved, Zhu Shuhui said to her mother: "Mother, don't think that my cousin is a countryman. You can see that she is so smart and smart, and I am afraid that many official ladies can't compare with her?"

Aunt Chen said with a smile: "From the appearance and dress of my cousin grandma, I really can't tell that she is a country girl! If Huier didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed it! But the official girl doesn't come from this appearance. In comparison."

The implication is that even if your cousin looks good, she is still not at the same level as the official girls!

Lu Yumin and Zhu Shuhui managed to establish a good relationship, and she didn't want to bother with this aunt. After all, an aunt is half a servant of the master's house, so what's there to be proud of!
However, Lu Yumin didn't intend to be looked down upon: "Ma'am, you are right! Official women are raised in deep boudoirs, and their character and knowledge are all first-class! How can I compare? Although I have learned from my father "Women's Regulations" and "Women's Training", I have also studied "Four Books" and "Five Classics", in short, I have lost the style of this official lady!"

When Aunt Chen heard that Lu Yumin not only knew each other, but also read through books, she felt a little unnatural: "That's not what I said. Country girls have the advantages of country girls, and official girls have the advantages of official girls. I mean These two kinds of people cannot be compared together."

Lu Yumin sighed with admiration on her face: "It's still a big aunt like Mrs. Zhu who has knowledge! Compared with your knowledge, my niece's knowledge is really incomparable."

Zhu Shuhui also heard that her own mother looked down on this cousin, and she was afraid that her mother would say too much, and it would be bad if the master heard it, so she praised again: "Mother, the old duck you ate in the morning Is the rice noodle soup taste good?"

Aunt Chen was stunned: "Could it be that this is also sent by my cousin?"

Zhu Shuhui nodded: "My cousin made this thing! My cousin taught me how to make this thing after she delivered it. The master applauded after eating it! And the kimchi, it tastes even better when served with porridge!"

Hearing what her daughter said, the contempt on Aunt Chen's face gradually disappeared. Although she was just someone else's concubine, Lu Yumin felt that the cousin's mother was here, and she might treat herself as her own mother. After chatting for a few words, the child followed the maid to the side hall.

Perhaps all the relatives of the Zhu family knew that the son-in-law had a poor cousin who married a villager, so after meeting each other in the living room, they all smiled and stopped talking.

After the wedding, after Tang Yunqing saw off the guests, Lu Yumin also said goodbye to him. Before leaving, Li Sanlin said to him: "Master Tang, the young couple will go back first!"

Tang Yunqing cupped his fists politely: "Go slowly! Come when you are free."

Lu Yumin knew that Tang Yunqing looked down on Li Sanlin very much, so she gestured to him with her eyes, and Li Sanlin immediately understood: "Master Tang, the villain is just a villager, he has no other specialties, he only knows how to farm. But this year, we used a new type of rice paddy Seems to be a good harvest now, if you are free, you are welcome to give advice!"

Tang Yunqing was startled: "What new method of planting?"

Li Sanlin simply explained: "It just changed the previous direct seeding method, but switched to the inserting seeding method. I won't be able to explain it for a while. After the rice is harvested, I will write in detail to Mr. Tang for instructions!"

Tang Yunqing looked at Li Sanlin with a different look: "Okay, okay! I'm free in a few days, and I want you to see the rice you planted!"

——If this new rice planting method can really increase his income, then his performance next year will be extraordinary!Food is the foundation of a country!

The expression on Tang Yunqing's face was one that Lu Yumin knew very well. She secretly winked at Li Sanlin triumphantly, and then kindly said to Tang Yunqing: "Cousin, you must come! My rice is here Under the care of my husband, I am afraid the increase in production will not be low!"

Tang Yunqing's heart itched even more when Lu Yumin talked about it. Sure enough, he brought Tang Qingtang in three days later. He can't reveal the news now. If this thing can really happen, it's a great achievement, but Don't let your colleagues know!
Several people were walking in the field of the Li family, and the ears of grain that were almost ripe lowered their heads. Although Tang Yunqing was a scholar, he grew up in the countryside after all. He reached out and picked a grain ear and counted in his hand: "Ten, ten, Twenty, thirty...eighty, ninety, one hundred...."

Tang Yunqing smiled while counting: "It seems that there are really results! Tang Qing, come and count, and see if your master and I have counted wrong!"

Tang Qing, the servant at the side, immediately took it and counted it, and then reported to Tang Yunqing, "Master, there are indeed one hundred and eighteen grains of millet!"

Tang Yunqing yelled loudly: "Good, good! It's really good! The best rice planted by this old method has only eighty or ninety grains on each ear, but now there are more than 100 grains on any one ear. See It will not be a problem to increase the yield by fifty or sixty catties per mu!"

Tang Qing immediately said: "Congratulations, master, congratulations, master! If this method can be promoted next year, master, your chance to get promoted every step of the way will come soon!"

Tang Yunqing's face was full of joy: "Well, as long as it really succeeds, the court will be shocked! Sister, it's done, and I will thank you, brother!"

Lu Yumin and Li Sanlin on the side looked at each other and said: "Brother, don't say that, my husband has no other skills, so he can only take care of these few acres of land! Besides, this land is the dowry that you and your sister-in-law bought for me. If this land can really do something for eldest brother, this is what our husband and wife wish for!"

Tang Yunqing, who was already dazzled by joy, now felt that Li Sanlin was pleasing to the eye: "Sister, don't say that! Your husband has this ability, this is not a small skill! But, don't shout about it beforehand, I will promote it by then Go to the whole county!"

Isn't it because you are afraid that others will take credit?Li Sanlin immediately agreed: "Master Tang, don't worry, what will happen to the villain, I will definitely keep this planting method properly, and report to Master Tang after the rice is harvested!"

After Tang Yunqing left, Lu Yumin rolled her eyes and said, "Master, he wants to take your method as his own! Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Li Sanlin smiled and said, "How can this be my solution? Besides, I gave it to your cousin, so it can be worth the land and house they bought for us."

Lu Yumin said dissatisfied: "That's a big loss! We still have to think of a way to get some more benefits from him!"

Li Sanlin looked at the greedy little daughter-in-law in front of him with a smile and said, "What a greedy little guy!"

Lu Yumin disagreed and said, "I have the right not to be voided after the expiration date! This cousin, cousin, has a meter of three thousand miles! You can use it when you need it, so there is nothing more polite to talk about!"

Lu Yumin's words showed three thousand miles, and finally washed away all the unhappiness and nervousness of Li Sanlin today!
Then I just thought about how to write down the experience of planting this new type of rice, so that the cousin of the Tang family would look at him differently, and let my daughter-in-law have the opportunity to use him!
