Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 199
On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, instead of going to the town shop with Liang Yuzhong after breakfast as usual, Jinxi stayed at home for a while, because Cai Jinshan wanted to bring the four long-term workers over for Jinxi to have a look.If Jin Xi is satisfied, she can stay and tend the fields.

After breakfast, Jin Xi helped Mrs. Sun look at the flowers and plants in the front yard with the third and fourth child in her arms, while Cai Qingyang brought in a mother and son from outside the gate of the yard.Jin Xi and Sun handed over the children to Jane to carry them to the inner courtyard, and greeted them, isn't this Guo Hai's mother and son?The clothes worn by the mother and son are still as old and patched as they saw that day, but the stains have been washed away. Both the mother and son are clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling. But there was a thick stack of gifts in the bag, which must have been brought by the Guo family's mother and son.

Guo's mother looked about the same age as Mrs. Sun, but she looked very old, and she couldn't walk very well. Guo Hai helped her in all the way.Mrs. Sun went up to support Guo's mother, exchanged greetings, and learned that the mother and son came here specially to visit.

"Since the official farewell that day, I have not seen each other for a few days. My nephew originally planned to settle in the aunt's house in the town, so I immediately came to visit my third uncle and third aunt. Unexpectedly, my mother caught a cold and suddenly fell ill, so she gave birth again. These things came up, and this was delayed again and again. These days, every time my mother mentioned this to me, my nephew would feel ashamed. It just so happened that today my mother recovered and the sun was shining, so I brought my mother to visit my third uncle and third aunt. I wish all the sisters and brothers in the family a happy old age!" Guo Hai bowed to Sun again, with a respectful and sincere expression.

Jin Xi raised the corners of her mouth, this Guo Hai really showed the etiquette of a scholar in every way he spoke and acted, but he was not at all pretentious, on the contrary he was very simple and down-to-earth.

"Oh, look at you, you are so polite. If you have time, you can bring your mother to play, you don't have to spend so much money!" Sun said to Guo's mother and son with a smile while helping Guo's mother to go to the main room. Xi nodded in agreement.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay now?" Mrs. Sun cared for Guo's mother in a warm voice as she walked. The two women exchanged pleasantries in front, and Jin Xi and Guo Hai followed behind. Guo Hai walked with his waist straight. Such as green bamboo, and the eyes do not squint.Walking down the corridor, the two looked at each other and smiled, Guo Hai took half a step back, stretched out his hand and said, "Sister Xi'er please first."

Jin Xi smiled, stepped up the steps, and said, "Brother Guo, how did you get here?"

"Oh, we came here in someone else's ox cart, and that person claimed to be from Jinjishan Village, calling Niu Erzhuang." Guo Hai said.

"Oh? Niu Erzhuang has changed his temper!" Jin Xi raised her eyebrows and teased that Liang Yuzhou's family rented a few acres of land to Niu Dazhuang. Niu Erzhuang is Niu Dazhuang's brother. The famous stinginess does not suffer, and it is absolutely impossible to do unprofitable things.

Guo Hai heard the ridicule in Jin Xi's words, knew that Jin Xi must know about Niu Erzhuang, and couldn't hide it, his face turned red slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "I paid ten cents for the fare, and that man Promise to take me and my mother."

Jin Xi nodded, this is normal.For the Guo family mother and son, ten Wen is also the money for a breakfast.

"Sister Xi'er, where's your father? Why didn't you see him all the way in? Did you go out for something?" Guo Hai asked, changing the subject.

"What a coincidence, my father went to the shop in the town early in the morning, and he won't be able to come home until the afternoon. Is there anything else that Brother Guo has to do today besides visiting? If necessary, I will send someone to arrest me Daddy take it back?" Jin Xi asked.

Guo Hai waved his hands again and again, and said: "My mother and I came here on a special trip to visit today. We have nothing else to do. Thanks to the appreciation of Mr. Wang from the Wangji Medical Center, he hired me to accompany his grandson. We will leave tomorrow In the county town, there should be no free time to come here in the short term, and Xi'er and sister don't have to disturb the third uncle for us, the future will be long, and when I have free time, I will definitely visit the third uncle and third aunt again."

"Go to the county town to study with? Then, won't you be wronged?" Jin Xi caught these words, it seems that Guo Hai has decided to go to accompany the grandson of Dr. Wang's family, and reading with him is equivalent to giving someone As a book boy, I take care of everything from study to life.

"Hehe, although it's not my original intention to be a companion to study with, Xi'er and his sister know that his grandson is studying in the Hall of Fame in the county seat, and the Hall of Fame is the most authoritative private school in Wanghai County, and the teachers teaching there are all sophisticated A person full of talents. It is a great honor for me, a little kid who came out of a poor mountain valley, to get this opportunity to be admitted to the Hall of Fame as a companion, and to listen to the advice and teachings of famous teachers! Not to mention companionship, even if If you let me go to the Hall of Fame, I will be happy!" Guo Hai said in high spirits.

Jin Xi nodded with a smile, a man can bend and stretch, can get the most favorable factors for himself in different environments, come and climb step by step, not bad, this Guo Hai is not too rigid, he can follow the trend, very good, very good .

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sharpness of swords comes from sharpening. Brother Guo has such ambition and determination. It's so good. Let's wait and see for Na Xi'er, hoping to hear good news soon!" Jin Xi said.

Guo Hai was slightly taken aback, then nodded heavily.

"Xi'er, you didn't invite Brother Guo to come in and drink tea, why are you chatting in the corridor outside?" Sun asked with a smile towards the door of the main room.

"Well, mother, come in now." Jin Xi said, and signaled to Guo Hai: "You are a guest today, you should invite first!"

Guo Hai nodded slightly, and stepped into the room, followed closely by Jin Xi.

After the mother and son of the Guo family had a sumptuous lunch at Jinxi's house, after lunch, Jinxi went to see the four long-term laborers that Cai Jinshan had brought in. The mother and son of the Guo family talked to Mrs. Sun before leaving.Mrs. Sun asked Cai Qingyang to drive them all the way back to the town in an ox cart before turning back.At home here, Sun and Jinxi looked at the pile of presents on the table, and sighed to Jinxi: "The mother and son of the Guo family are the ones who repay the kindness of dripping water, and we just dropped by on that day." Let’s take a ride, look, there are so many presents for this visit!”

Jin Xi sized up the gifts, estimated the price in her heart, and said, "Yes, these gifts have cost more than 200 Wen in total!"

"More than 200 essays? It's a bit of a relationship. No wonder your Aunt Guo told me that Guo Hai's former meeting son tutored people and got a lot of money and rewards. Look at their mother and son's patchwork Patch’s clothes, I guess the 200 Wen is their three to five days’ expenses! They are all used to give us these gifts, when they got up to say goodbye, I stuffed it, and Guo Hai took it down, insisted It cost me more than [-] Wen to accept it, which made me feel very sorry! Xi'er, why don't you bring these things back when you return?" Sun said.

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Mother, they insist on giving this gift to us, we might as well just accept it, they will feel at ease, besides, it's so messy to push and send. You have to be considerate They have a difficult life, so if there is a destiny in the future, won't we give them a little more help?"

Seeing Jin Xi say this, Sun felt a little relieved, and reminded: "Your Aunt Guo said that brother Guo will go to the county town in two days to be a companion reading, and she will also be brought along with you. If you go Don’t forget what the county can take care of!”

Jinxi was really speechless about Sun's kindness, and could only nod her head repeatedly, thinking, these gifts can be said to come from the sheep's wool, but they don't know that Guo Hai's two taels of silver for teaching lessons were actually paid by Jinxi herself. of!Mrs. Sun doesn't know, Mother Guo doesn't know, and Guo Hai doesn't even know about it. Instead of telling Guo Hai himself about this matter and making him appreciate her, Jinxi might as well not say that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. On the [-]st, Guo Hai learned from others that the effect of shock and gratitude would be far greater than Jin Xi's own words.

What is it called?Jin Xi squinted her eyes and thought to herself, um, maybe this is called betting, or putting a long line to catch a big fish. If you want to catch a big fish, you have to be willing to cut the material and be patient. Jin Xi believes that she will be a good one. fisherman!

……

The four long-term workers in the family were arranged to live in the side yard. Years ago, Liang Yuzhong and Cai Jinshan made a calculation, thinking that there would be more than ten acres of land in the family that needed long-term work to take care of, so they had to arrange a house for people to live in. Then, in the row of the west wall in front of the side yard, six rooms were built side by side, and each room was a Datong shop, which could accommodate four long-term workers.

After the arrangements for the long-term workers to move in, Cai Jinshan will take care of the farming and planting.In the next few days, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Dong were very busy hatching eggs all day long. Because the family now has a large yard and a special shed for chickens and ducks, Mrs. Sun is determined to raise more chickens and ducks. Let it out, the people from Daniu's family, Chunzhu's family, and Cui Kongque from Cui's family all came to help Mrs. Sun. As long as Jin Xi returns home these days, she will definitely be able to see her at the chicken shed behind the side yard. A large group of women chattered about hatching eggs through the bamboo fence.

Because of Jinxi's plan, eggs will not only satisfy the whole family's dishes, but also can be supplied to Qianlixiang's breakfast fast food shop in the town and hot pot shop in the county town, and if there are any leftovers, they will sell them for money.

As for the sales channels of chickens and ducks, Jin Xi has also planned, because there are still only fertilized eggs, Jin Xi deliberately hides the plan, and when the time is right, she will give them a surprise!
On the 26th day of the first lunar month, on the [-]th, it's time for the first wave of spring tea picking.Liang Yuzhong, Cai Qingyang, and Jinxi went back to Sunjiagou together, and when they left the mountain, they brought not only tea, but also Mrs. Sun and Taozhi.Mrs. Sun came to help take care of the children. Sun is the most benefited and the happiest. This way, she can free up her hands to care for those chickens and ducks vigorously. From pregnancy to childbirth to now, she has been protected and cared for by the big guys In such a state, I can't stand it anymore!

As the so-called plan for a year lies in spring, when Jin Xi's house is in full swing, Old Liang came to Jin Xi's house with his head behind his back and a gloomy expression on his face.
