"Mom, that's Sister Zhiyao!"
When the donkey cart came closer, Chen Chunhua was pleasantly surprised and confirmed her guess.
But, is it Yue Ya sitting next to Sister Zhiyao?
"Aunt Chen." Shen Zhiyao called Aunt Chen with a smile as the donkey cart drove to the door of Aunt Chen's house.
"Alas! Zhiyao, it's really you!"
Aunt Chen excitedly opened the fence of the courtyard, looked at them and said, "Zhiyao, come in quickly. Wow! Is this the crescent moon? It's so white!"
Not only is it a lot whiter!
Chen Chunhua followed Aunt Chen and looked at Crescent Moon in shock.
She found that Yue Ya's face had grown flesh, the water was tender and tender, and her hair was no longer so yellow.
Moreover, the two small knots on the crescent moon's head are wearing two tender pink flowers, and she is wearing a light-colored and light blue skirt. She looks like a young lady from a wealthy family. She looks just as heavenly as she did when she left Lihua Village. Different places.
She almost didn't recognize it just now.
"Aunt Chen." Shen Yueya smiled and blinked her eyes like black grapes, and called Aunt Chen obediently.
Chen Chunhua also came to her senses at Yue Ya's voice and called out to the two sisters Shen Zhiyao.
Entering Aunt Chen's house, Shen Zhiyao, Chen Carpenter, and other members of the Chen family also greeted them.
Immediately afterwards, she handed two boxes of Wuxiangzhai cakes, a jar of wine and a basket of fresh peaches from the donkey cart to Aunt Chen.
"You can't do it, you can't do it. Why did you come to my aunt's house to bring these things? Take them back quickly!"
Aunt Chen refused repeatedly.
Shen Zhiyao: "Aunt Chen, this is just my opinion. Please accept it. Besides, I came here this time to trouble Uncle Chen."
"Just ask him to help you directly with anything."
"We'll talk about this later. Aunt Chen, if you don't accept it, you're alienated from me. You see, I'm tired of lifting." Shen Zhiyao handed the things over again.
"You kid." Aunt Chen put the things away helplessly.
"Sister Zhiyao, hasn't Bai Qiu come back?"
Chen Hu stood aside and wanted to say something. Now seeing that Shen Zhiyao was free, he hurriedly asked.
"Bai Qiu went to a private school. I didn't meet him today. He's on holiday. I'll take him back with me when I'm free next time."
"Bai Qiu is going to study! That's great. With Bai Qiu's intelligence, he will definitely be able to study well!"
Chen Hu knew that Shen Baiqiu had always wanted to study. Now that Bai Qiu had achieved his wish, he was happy for Bai Qiu from the bottom of his heart.
"It would be nice if he could read more."
Although Shen Zhiyao told Shen Baiqiu about the benefits of being a scholar, she had no intention of forcing Shen Baiqiu to become a scholar.
After chatting with Aunt Chen and the others about household matters for a while, Shen Zhiyao, Carpenter Chen and Carpenter Chen's eldest son Chen Zhu went to the room where they specialized in carpentry work.
Shen Yueya was played by Chen Chunhua and Chen Qiang, the youngest son of Aunt Chen.
In a wooden room with the door wide open.
"Uncle Chen, Brother Zhuzi, do you think this can be done?"
Shen Zhiyao took out the picture of the windmill she drew last night.
Carpenter Chen looked at the drawings carefully.
After a while, he put down the drawing and asked, "Zhiyao, what is the purpose of this object you drew?"
"Uncle Chen, look, if you pour the rice dried in your dam from the funnel-shaped part, and then shake this fan-like thing, you can use the wind to blow out the fine straw in the rice. A dustpan sifter will be much faster.”
"Similarly, other impurities in grain can also be separated using this method."
"That's it! Whenever you want it, Zhuzi and I will try to make it first." Carpenter Chen understood the principle of the windmill almost instantly.
Somewhat excited.
"Uncle Chen, if possible, the sooner the better."
"Also, I wonder how you charge for the woodwork? You can't say no, otherwise I'll find someone else to do it."
Shen Zhiyao blocked what Carpenter Chen was about to say in advance.
In the end, the two negotiated a suitable price, and after going over some details of the Gufengche, Chen Carpenter and Chen Zhu started to work.
As it happens, there is a lot of wood stacked in the room.
They started to get busy, and Shen Zhiyao left the room.
"Aunt Chen, I'm going to visit the Shen clan leader."
Walking to the door of Aunt Chen's house, Shen Zhiyao said hello to Aunt Chen who was bumping the rice with a dustpan.
Aunt Chen put down the dustpan, raised a cheerful smile and said, "Okay, let's go. But you have to go back to Auntie's house for dinner, Auntie will prepare delicious food for you."
She had already asked Chen Hu and her eldest daughter Chen Cuihua to go to town to buy meat.
"Okay." Shen Zhiyao nodded, went to the donkey cart to get the things, and then took Shen Yueya out together.
When she arrived at the clan leader's house, Shen Zhiyao presented the gifts and directly stated her purpose.
"Clan leader, I would like to ask you how to grow vegetables, can you?"
During the few days she was in Lihua Village, she heard that Chief Shen's family was the best at growing vegetables.
On the same land, the vegetables grown by Patriarch Shen's family will be more lush.
"Each vegetable has different planting methods and needs to pay attention to. What do you want to plant?" Patriarch Shen put down his pipe.
"As long as you can plant it at this time." Shen Zhiyao took out a stack of pamphlets cut from white paper and a charcoal pencil wrapped mostly in cloth.
She came to ask Patriarch Shen for advice. In addition to the fact that Patriarch Shen was good at growing vegetables, she also wanted to give her a clear path for growing vegetables in the future.
“Then let’s start with coriander and Chinese cabbage.”
Patriarch Shen is particularly willing to teach people how to grow vegetables, and many people in Lihua Village have come to ask him for advice.
One person taught and the other studied seriously. Both of them were immersed in the knowledge of how to grow vegetables.
Shen Yueya sat aside and listened, not feeling bored, and kept silent so as not to disturb them.
"Patriarch, I have benefited a lot from your teachings today. I will give it a try when I get back."
After studying with Patriarch Shen for more than an hour, Shen Zhiyao also wrote down a lot in her booklet.
Patriarch Shen understood what she meant. She had land in the county.
However, Patriarch Shen didn't inquire too much and just casually asked why Shen Baiqiu didn't come back.
Shen Zhiyao told the truth.
Patriarch Shen picked up his pipe again and asked with concern: "Does Bai Qiu need some support from the clan for studying?"
The Shen family encourages their children to study in the hope that their children will be successful and honor their ancestors, so they will give some support to their children who study.
However, none of the children of the Shen family seem to have any talent in school. After so many years, only Shen Sili has passed the Tongsheng examination.
And Shen Sili...
Just don’t say it.
"Thank you, clan leader. You don't need it for now. If you need it in the future, I will ask the clan leader."
Shen Zhiyao did not refuse. In ancient times, people paid more attention to the concept of clan. She hoped to maintain a good relationship with her clan first.
"That's fine." Patriarch Shen nodded.
When Shen Zhiyao was about to say goodbye to Patriarch Shen, Old Han Shen’s house on the other side——
"Dad, Mom fell down!"
A scream sounded from the kitchen.
