The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 40 Starting a New Life (1)
In mid-September, the ratooning rice was officially harvested.The villagers spontaneously came to help, but instead stopped Zhao Shihua from letting him, a scholar, go to the fields.In less than half a day, the villagers harvested all the ears of rice in the field, dried them on the drying ground for a day, and milled the rice the next day.After three days of exposure to the sun, the villagers helped to raise the dust again, blowing out the dust and shriveled empty husks in the rice, collecting the clean rice, and finally weighing it happily.Ho!There are actually half of the first season's output!
In the end, the folks themselves concluded that the spikes of the regenerated rice are not much less than the first time. The main problem is that the regenerated rice has too many empty husks, which is the main reason for affecting the yield.

The folks are also thinking, why are there so many empty husks of ratooned rice?Some think it's not enough fat, some think it's the wrong weather, each has its own opinion.Later I went to Zhao Shihua, Zhao Shihua didn't know, and asked everyone to try to apply more topdressing fertilizer next year. As for the climate reason, he is not God, and he can't help it.

After harvesting the rattan rice, Zhao Shihua told his parents about his plans for the wasteland next year, and told them not to forget to sow the seeds, and told them that rapeseed can be used to extract oil. The Gu family is already planning to open an oil extraction workshop, and it will definitely sell well next year. price.

The two elders of the Zhao family agreed again and again.The son is a scholar. He said that if he can extract oil, he will be able to extract oil. He said that if he can sell it at a good price, he will definitely be able to sell it at a good price.

At the end of September, Zhao Shihua's family packed up their belongings and moved to the county seat.

The Gu family came to help them move with two carriages the day before, one for people and one for pulling things.

Zhao Shihua didn't bring furniture or anything, but Gu Shengwu said that they had it in the house in the county town.They only need to bring clothes, quilts and food for two or three months.

An Ran was woken up by her mother when she was young, and got dressed sleepily, and her elder brother had already brought water to help her wash her face and comb her hair.However, An Qi was fine with washing his face, but it was really difficult for him to comb his hair.Seeing that her mother was too busy to comb her own hair, An Ran simply pushed her brother aside, combed a ponytail on top of her head, and then took the hairband from her brother's hand to tie it up.

Well, I haven't combed my hair myself for more than a year. My hands are a bit raw and I don't comb it very well, but it's passable.

An Qi watched her sister tie her hair up a few times, and couldn't help admiring her eyes: "Little sister is really capable!"Even combing hair is better than him!
After eating something in a hurry, I saw the whole family of grandparents, uncles and uncles came to see them off.

An Ran was carried to the carriage by her elder brother, and leaned on her elder brother to continue to doze off.You must know that she was too excited last night, but she fell asleep very late.An Qi originally wanted to help his parents move things, and check his own things again to see if there was anything missing, but with his sister relying on himself, he couldn't go anywhere, so he had to relax and move his sister onto his lap , resting her head on her shoulder, hoping to make her sister sleep more comfortably.

When An Ran woke up again, they were already on their way, and she also switched from her brother's arms to her mother's arms.At noon, they ate something in the town, let the horse rest a little, fed water and food, and then set off quickly.By the time we arrived at the county seat, it was almost dark.As soon as the two carriages entered the city, the city gate was closed.

The carriage went straight to Gu's house.They have to live in Gu's house for two days first, and then move in after Dian's house is tidied up.

This time, the Gu family changed to a large house with four entrances, and An Ran's family lived in a small courtyard. Aunt also allocated four servants to take care of them. Basically, each of them was followed by a servant.To be honest, An Ran is really not used to such days.She likes her mother and elder brother to wash her face, and doesn't like letting girls touch her.

After living in Gu's house for two days, An Ran's family moved to a small courtyard not far away.The yard is not big, with only two entrances, and the garden in the middle is just a bit of land, with large fields of Ophiopogon japonicus planted in it, a magnolia flower in the corner, and a honeysuckle vine crawling on the courtyard wall.An Ran couldn't help thinking, this family used to be doctors?Why is it all medicine!But why not plant some peonies and gardenias?That's medicine too!

The yard is not big, but it is exquisitely arranged. There are wells and sewers. It is obvious that the original owner put his heart into it.An Ran used to read books and always thought that there were no sewers in ancient times, but now I know that the ancients were also very smart. There were underground ditches built around the house and under the kitchen and bathroom, all the way to the river.The underground ditch is covered with stone slabs, and there are small gaps in between to allow water to flow out, which is not only convenient for pouring water, but also keeps the ground dry.

It was later learned that this family was originally the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, because something happened in the pharmacy not long ago, and the owner was unscrupulous, and all the responsibilities were shifted to the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper not only lost all the savings of the family, but finally settled the lawsuit after mortgaging the house, and now moved to his hometown to live.The reason why the house was mortgaged, rather than simply sold, was also because I wanted to get it back later when I had money.

After moving, Zhao Shihua immediately went to pay a visit to the county lord and Mr. Chen with presents, and then sent An Qi to the school where Gu Shaolin was. The next day, he began to learn how to deal with government affairs with Mr. Chen.

Master Chen originally said goodbye at his own age, knowing that the county lord valued Zhao Shihua, and also felt the trust of the master's family over the years, so he naturally taught him with all his heart.The county respected Mr. Qian also called Zhao Shihua over from time to time, intending to cultivate him.In less than half a month, Zhao Shihua basically got started.

Master Chen praised Zhao Shihua very much when he spoke to County Magistrate Qian, which made County Magistrate Qian feel that he was right, and trusted Zhao Shihua more.

County magistrate Qian is actually selfish.He saw Zhao Shihua's unique talent and learning ability, which was praised even by Lin Xuezheng of the state capital, so he concluded that Zhao Shihua's future achievements would be limitless.Naturally, it is necessary to make friends with such talents early on. It is best to be kind to the talents first, maybe you can help yourself in the future?

The Gu family saw that Zhao Shihua had become Mr. Qian's master, and he was valued by Mr. Qian, so they sent two more servants over.A rough envoy, Aunt Fang, was in charge of cleaning the yard, washing clothes and so on.A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, Xiaolan, helped Gu Wanniang with cooking and serving tea and water.
