Lin Shu broke off a piece of plant with fat leaves from the roadside and held it over their heads like an umbrella. The sun had been getting more and more fierce recently.
Su Xin was carrying a vegetable basket and looked happy, "My wife, my boss Xu came to buy medicine today and gave me three hundred taels."
"Okay, I understand." It seems that the spiritual spring water works well.
"Then Mr. Xu also said that An Geer's tea is good, and he wants to buy tea leaves. An Geer has picked some in the morning and dried them in the shade of the yard. He can knead them and make tea in the evening."
"If Mr. Xu can buy tea, we can help the wife."
Lin Shu jumped for joy when she heard his voice, her eyebrows softened. She didn't like drinking tea before, but Shen Shi'an's tea was really delicious, and she was used to drinking it now.
She touched Su Xin's head, "Are you trying to help me or are you too bored at home?"
The two husbands didn't like to go out, unlike the people in the village who would just sit in the middle of the village and gossip.
Su Xin smiled sheepishly, "Both of them are, but the most important thing is that I can help my wife. It's just a pity that I don't know anything..."
An Geer is good at embroidery. He is still making clothes for his wife. Now there is a tea business. Su Xin feels a little disappointed. He also wants to help his wife.
Lin Shu took his hand and said, "You can farm, cook, and the stir-fry is delicious. You are also good at massage techniques. You know a lot."
The corners of Su Xin's mouth curled up again, and she became happy again.
The two came to Lin Xiaoxi's house. She knocked on the door, and someone opened the door after a while.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned when he saw the person coming, and whispered inside, "Sister, it's Sister Shu who collects the vegetables."
After a while, a woman about half a person's height came out. She greeted nervously, "Sister Shu, is there something wrong with my food?"
Lin Shu saw that her severed thigh was still stained with plant ash. She smiled and said, "I came to you to ask you to help me with my work. I don't know if you are willing?"
Lin Xiaoxi was overjoyed, "Yes, yes."
Su Xin shook the food basket in his hand, "Can you let us go in and talk?"
"Of course, I was negligent, please come in!"
Lin Shu didn't mind either. The two of them had lost their mother and father to guide them when they were young, so they were a little slow in dealing with people.
Su Xin took Lin Xiaobei to wash wild fruits. Lin Shu looked at the small yard. Although it was in tatters, it was clean and tidy.
She chose a shorter stool and sat on it, looking at the excited Lin Xiaoxi, "Is your leg injured?"
"I was careless today and didn't notice the pebbles on the ground. It's scratched. Just apply some plant ash and it will be fine."
Lin Shu: "I have a fish pond in the village. I want you to come and guard it. You have to live there all the time. I will give you five coins a month. Do you agree?"
"Five dollars!" Lin Xiaoxi calmed down after getting excited and spoke with some hesitation, "Sister Shu, I don't trust my brother at home alone."
"It's okay. The house in the fish pond will be repaired in two days. Then I will let them build it bigger. It will be just right for you two siblings."
Lin Shu also wanted to help them. She had a good impression of the people in this village.
Lin Xiaoxi was stunned and her eyes were sore. Most of her family's land was sold to her mother and father for medical treatment, but they were not saved in the end.
Now he lives on an acre of poor land and occasional donations from fellow villagers.
If she had this job, her family would be much better off, and Sister Shu's words dispelled her worries.
According to what Sister Shu said, my little brother can come back to cook and grow vegetables during the day, and live there with her at night, which will be much safer.
"Sister Shu, thank you, but five dollars a month is too much. I can do one hundred dollars a month."
Lin Xiaobei came over with washed wild fruits, put them away quietly, and then ran to talk to Su Xin.
Lin Shu explained, "I ask you not only to look at the fish pond, but also to plant several pieces of land around my fish pond. You must plant ryegrass on those lands."
"Every day I have to cut grass to feed the fish, and I also need to be alert at night. The money is reasonable. If you don't do it, I will find someone else."
Lin Xiaoxi didn't want to do it, so after hearing this, she blurted out, "I did it. As long as Sister Shu doesn't mind that I have a disabled body, I will go over and watch it now."
Lin Shu patted her on the shoulder, "Since I came to see you, how can I dislike it. It's just that the house has not been repaired today. If it can be repaired in a few days, I will have someone come and let you know. The wages will be calculated from that day."
Lin Xiaoxi wanted to kneel down to Lin Shu, but both of her calves were cut off and she could no longer kneel down.
She has been worried that her brother will not be able to find a wife because of her. Now with this job, she can save some money, and it will be easier for her brother to find a marriage.
"Thank you, Sister Shu! Thank you, Sister Shu! I will do a good job!"
Lin Shu waved his hand, "Now that we've agreed, I'll go back. Maybe you can tie a wooden board to your leg to pad it with some soft grass, or you can make a round insole when making shoes, and tie it to your leg. That way It won’t be hurt.”
"Goodbye. I'll let someone notify you to start work in a few days."
Lin Shu took Su Xin away without hearing the cries of the two siblings in the hut behind him.
Su Xin's eyes were bright, and he looked at his wife with admiration, "My wife, you are so amazing."
Lin Shu spoke hurriedly, "I thought you already knew."
The words were so ambiguous that Su Xin blushed and even walked with a bit of the same hands and feet.
Lin Shu sent the person to the path where the guard could be seen, "You go back first, and I will go to the fish pond for a walk."
Su Xin nodded and pulled her sleeve, "My wife, you...come back soon, I will wait for you."
"good."
…
Lin Shu first went to see the fertile land, which was guarded by the village chief's daughter. The man was lying in a simple triangular shed. When he saw Lin Shu coming, he stood up and greeted politely.
Lin Shu returned the favor. The big pit next to him had been dug, and some animal feces had been stored in it.
The village chief's arrangement was really fast. Lin Shu used tree branches to pry open the soil, looked at the degree of decay of the green plants, and then told the village chief's daughter to wait three days before mixing the animal feces with some water and spreading it on the ground.
The current seeds can be planted in half a month, and the results will be seen later.
The village chief's daughter nodded in agreement.
Lin Shu turned around and went to the river again, thinking about how to plant ryegrass in the ground.
She knelt down and turned over the grass seeds among the grass leaves.
There was a splashing sound from behind.
She turned around and saw a black shadow floating on the river. The snapping sound was caused by the small fish beside the shadow trying to jump out of the water.
Lin Shu walked over, and a group of small fish held up the black shadow to prevent him from floating away.
Lin Shu:......
It’s really incredible that the fish saved someone and even jumped out of the water to get her attention.
Lin Shu stared at the river for a long time. The man's face was blocked by wet black hair, and he could only see a round red birthmark at the junction of his jaw and neck.
She picked up a stone and threw it into the river, which frightened the fish and said, "Don't be weird, don't be weird, just float to find someone who can save you."
There were so many adventures today. I saw people rafting on the river twice in succession.
After the figure floated away, Lin Shu tore off many rye grass seeds, among which were the seeds.
Although he doesn't know how to breed, there is no problem with the spiritual spring water.
Wrap the freshly harvested seeds in leaves and put them in your arms, and then go to see the fish pond.
The fish inside were swimming very freely and seemed to be in good spirits.
Lin Shu then Shi Shiran went home.
Looking at the water stains on the way home, her eyelids twitched and her pace quickened.
