Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

The backyard of the Meng family needs to detour to the vegetable patch on the back mountain, and follow the road to the pigsty to the wooden fence, which is considered to be the back yard of the Meng family.

Xi'er happened to see Cheng An walking towards this side, so she opened the door from the inside and greeted with a smile, "Cheng An, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, why did Miss Xi'er come to the backyard? Could it be that she doesn't trust me, Cheng An, to handle things?" Cheng An saw Xi'er being so polite, and responded with a smile too.

Xi'er made a face at Cheng An, and then said, "I'm too lazy to look at you, I'm here to boil water for your young master to make tea."

Cheng An hadn't seen girls making funny faces before, and he was immediately amused by Xi'er's appearance, "Hahahahaha, then go quickly."

Xi'er entered the house, boiled water and made tea in one go, then hurriedly brought them out, walked into the yard, saw Cheng An who was still busy, and said, "Cheng An, there are tea and cups in the kitchen, you will give them to everyone later." Drink it upside down, I'm going to the front."

"Understood, you go." Cheng An nodded, somehow, he felt that getting along with Xi'er was very natural.

Xi'er took the tray and went into the main room. Everyone was sitting except Qingzhi. Seeing her standing pitifully behind Chu Zigui, Xi'er couldn't help saying, "Master Chu, let Qingzhi girl sit too."

Chu Zigui didn't say anything, just tilted his head and looked at Qingzhi.

"No need." Qingzhi said hastily, sharing the table with the young master, if the eldest lady finds out, he will have nothing to eat.

Although the housemaids are generally accepted as aunts if they are favored by the master, but the young master has never touched her so far, and she is just a maid.

Xi'er saw that people were ungrateful, and she didn't feel sorry for herself, so she poured tea for everyone, and then she also sat down.

Chu Zigui exchanged a few words with Meng Hai, explained the purpose of coming, and then continued, "Master Meng, because it is Qiu Li Gao that needs to be sent to Bianjing, I'm afraid I have to go back, so I ask Miss Xi'er to do this first." Well, when the jam is ready, just send it to the Chu Mansion."

"Well, okay." Meng Hai naturally nodded in agreement.

Although Xi'er didn't have any objections, when she heard Chu Zigui say that she was going to leave suddenly, she couldn't help asking, "Ah? Are you leaving? Are you coming back?"

"Miss Xi'er, do you want me to come back?" Chu Zigui looked at Xi'er meaningfully, ignoring that the two elders were still there!

Xi'er didn't know what was wrong, felt guilty for a while, avoided Chu Zigui's sight, and then said, "It doesn't matter."

"Oh, let's see." Chu Zigui didn't seem too disappointed, so he said lightly.

Meng Hai and Mrs. Liu are not stupid, this young master Chu actually said such a thing, could it be that he has taken a fancy to his youngest daughter?

"Mr. Chu, how long have you been back?" Liu seldom opened his mouth, and it was a divine assist.

Chu Zigui smiled, and then said to Liu Shi, "I'm afraid it will be after the new year."

Mrs. Liu nodded, and then said, "That's right, it will be winter in more than one month, and Bianjing is so far away, it will take some time on the road."

"Fortunately, it will take about half a month's journey if you hurry up." Chu Zigui thought for a while before replying.

Mrs. Liu nodded thoughtfully, then smiled, "That was really hard work."

When Xi'er heard this, her eyes dimmed involuntarily, and it took half a month to go so fast, it was really scary.

It's only the beginning of October now, and I won't come back until after the Chinese New Year. Wouldn't it take two or three months?

"Mother, I'll go see how Cheng An and the others are doing." For some reason, Xi'er suddenly felt panicked, stood up and said this, then turned and left.

Chu Zigui's eyes followed Xi'er's figure until he disappeared.

Mrs. Liu naturally also noticed Xi'er's anomaly, she was so rude, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Chu, don't take offense, I have spoiled a girl like me."

"It's okay, it's fine." Chu Zigui looked away, and then looked at Liu Shi and smiled, calm and breezy.

Xi'er went to the backyard, and found that Cheng An and the others had finished their work. These white porcelain bottles were all packed in bamboo baskets, and each one was wrapped with straw, which looked very safe.

"Huh, Miss Xi'er? Why are you here?" Cheng An wiped the sweat from his forehead, even though the young master asked him to come over to watch, he still helped to move some.

Xi'er pulled out a smile before saying, "Come here and see if you need help."

"No, no, no, we're all done." Cheng An waved his hands again and again, and then panted.

Xi'er ran to the kitchen and came out with a large teapot and tea bowls, poured a bowl for each of them, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, by the way, Miss Xi'er, our young master told you to make Qiuli Gao first, and then Chuanbei brought it to you." Cheng An pointed to the bamboo basket next to his leg, and said.

Xi'er nodded, and then said, "Yes, I know."

"That's good, Miss Xi'er, that's it, I'll send someone to pick up things every two days?" Cheng An asked hurriedly when she heard her say that.

"Two days is too frequent, maybe three or four days." Xi'er thought for a while, this autumn pear cream is much more troublesome than jam.

Cheng An replied, "Listen to Miss Xi'er."

After moving the things, Cheng An went to reply, and Chu Zigui was ready to leave.

Because Meng Hai suddenly had a backache, Mrs. Liu was busy applying medicine to him, so she ordered Xi'er to send it to him.

Xi'er followed Chu Zigui, went out from the main room, walked across the yard, and then to the door, without saying a word.

Chu Zigui walked to the front of the sedan chair, stopped suddenly, did not react to the "sudden brake", and Xi'er bumped his head into it, "It hurts"

Chu Zigui felt his back being pushed against by a small head, so he held back his laughter, turned around and looked at Xi'er, only to see her reach out and touch his forehead, as if it really hurt.

"Are you okay?" Chu Zigui asked, doubting in his heart, is it that serious?He reached out his hand, stroked Xi'er's forehead, and rubbed it for her.

Feeling the cold fingertips on her forehead, Xi'er raised her eyes to look at Chu Zigui, and said dissatisfiedly, "You are so skinny with ribs, can you not hurt?"

"Okay, it's my young master's mistake, and I will make amends to you some other day." Chu Zigui looked at her amusedly, withdrew his hands and folded his arms, and continued, "You still owe me a thank you, let's go together some other day."

"Let's go, really!" Xi'er said when she heard this and cast a coquettish glance at Chu Zigui.

Chu Zigui raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Xi'er, "Success." After speaking, he really turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Qingzhi watched the interaction between the two, his teeth itching with anger, and he had planned Xi'er among the enemies in his heart!
Except Miss Biao, I have never seen the young master treat anyone so well!This country girl, what can she do!

When I get back to Bianjing, I must work hard!Only those who become young masters earlier will do.
