Li Yuan understood Xie Yanzhi and nodded decisively: "Yes!"
"Then we can't stop. It's better for us to have less contact with them for now."
Qin Muyang watched helplessly as a handsome-looking man stuck his head out and glanced at him in the carriage, then quickly retracted.
Just when he was looking forward to it, the carriage did not stop, but turned into an alley and disappeared.
What's going on, why don't you stop?
He was sure that his eyesight was not blurry. Sitting in the carriage was the woman Mingshan called Sister Li.
Is it possible that the friendship between these two people is superficial, but in fact they are not on good terms?
Then should he go back and find a chance to tell Mingshan not to trust outsiders easily.
She is older than her younger sister, but they don't take her seriously at all!
Li Yuan didn't know what Qin Muyang was thinking. When the carriage stopped, she got out of the car first. After taking the two children down, she said to Xie Yanzhi who was holding the "baggage": "Brother Xie, there is no kang at home. It's cold today." , you need to make charcoal at night. You go outside and buy some charcoal and come back. I will take Caiwei to clean the house first. By the way, if you see someone selling firewood, buy more, you will need it later anyway. "
"OK!"
Xie Yanzhi said, and after Li Yuan opened the door, he carried the "baggage" back into the house and hurried out.
Li Yuan brought Caiwei and Qingsha to the kitchen and said to the two sisters: "Caiwei, there is a well in the courtyard. Mom is going to fetch water. You and your sister will sit here first. Wait for mom to fetch the water and wash the pots." , just help mom heat hot water. Mom will tell you later which room we will sleep in."
Caiwei looked around the kitchen and said, "Mom, my sister can make the fire and hot water. Let me come and I will sweep the floor. This house is so big, you will be tired just by yourself."
Then, without waiting for her mother to answer, she asked Qingsha: "Sasha, can you come and heat the hot water? My mother and sister have to clean the house."
Qingsha nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll light the fire!"
Li Yuan saw that the sisters' arrangements were clear, so she followed them.
"Okay, if you're not tired, then get the broom and help my mother sweep the floor first."
In fact, Xie Yanzhi's house was not very dirty because shopkeeper Guo hired someone to clean it.
Especially since Fucheng also had snow for a long time, but the snow was not very heavy.
There isn't much dust here, and the snow on the ground has been swept away long ago, so it's much easier to clean up the weeds.
Only in the kitchen, because the water tank and iron pot were not used for a long time, and the people who cleaned them were not dedicated enough, Li Yuan needed to clean them by herself.
She first cleaned the iron pot, then poured in two buckets of water. While asking Qingsha to heat the hot water, she also entered Xie Yanzhi's room.
In fact, she just took advantage of entering the main room to get the quilt from the space.
When Xie Yanzhi came back, he was followed by three or four people.
Some were pushing a wooden cart with firewood piled on top, some were carrying two baskets of charcoal, and some were carrying a large bag of rice on their shoulders.
As for himself, he was carrying two baskets, one large and one small.
The big basket was filled with meat and vegetables, and the small basket was filled with braised pork that he had packed back from a tavern outside. It was said to be very delicious.
Li Yuan just took a breath and saw that he came back with so many things, so she said to Caiwei, who was also a little tired at this moment: "Caiwei, there are two more pots with hot water. You can take your sister to wash them briefly, and my mother will cook." Calling you."
Caiwei thought of the soft bed her mother had made just now, looked down at her and her sister's clothes, and nodded: "Okay!"
After the two children left, Xie Yanzhi spontaneously sat there and lit the fire.
After Li Yuan had stewed the rice, he took out a small stack of land deeds from his arms and handed it to her.
"Mother Yuan, shopkeeper Guo has returned to Fucheng to celebrate the New Year. I just stopped by his place to get the land deeds back. You said before that there would be a drought, so you can see how these lands are dealt with."
Li Yuan had always known that Xie Yanzhi's affairs were all handled by Shopkeeper Guo.
When I was in Liuyun County, I got back the money and the deed of the house there.
For example, the land deeds and house deeds in Fucheng are still with Shopkeeper Guo.
It's just that these things were left at the master's house in Fucheng, and he didn't come back. Out of trust, Xie Yanzhi didn't say anything.
Now that they are all in Fucheng, I will go and get it.
At this time, she reached out to take the pile of paper and read it carefully.
"This land is just outside this city, and it has thirty acres?"
"Well, they are all high-quality paddy fields. It's up to you whether you want to keep them for farming or sell them. From now on, you will be the master of our family!"
"Are these lands rented out? Since they are rented out, let's be like this. In the coming year, Fucheng will not be like Liuyun County. Although there is drought and rain, the overall situation is still good. In this way, when there is a real drought Now, you can negotiate with the tenant farmers to waive their rent for a year. However, you have to think carefully about whether you want them to also plant drought-tolerant sweet potatoes."
Xie Yanzhi thought about it for a while and then agreed: "Okay, let's keep it and not sell it. Later, I will ask the tenant farmers to grow sweet potatoes. We won't use the ones you provided, just the common ones nowadays. Then, as long as they grow them , let’s just take it, the price won’t be cheaper than what the grain merchants buy.”
"Well, just make up your mind."
This way, without collecting rent, even if the sharecroppers have no harvest in the second half of the coming year, with the sweet potatoes in the first half of the year, life should not be too difficult.
As for selling, it is impossible to sell. After all, when there is a drought, the price of food will not be cheap.
Even if those sharecroppers are greedy for the high price of food and want to sell it, they have to take care of themselves first.
"Mother Yuan, when I met Shopkeeper Guo just now, he asked me if I would not go back to celebrate the New Year this year because I was here at this time. If not, then send me a post tomorrow. He said it was a storybook I had written before. The bookstore has already cooperated with the theater troupe, and now the scene is booming, and the books are selling better and better. He wants me to come and see it in person."
Li Yuan has been on the carriage these days, but she has finished reading Xie Yanzhi's storybook with Li Jun as the protagonist.
When she first read it, she thought of the storybook this guy wrote based on her, and felt a lot in her heart.
This guy is just like the magic pen Ma Liang.
Everything in this book is probably true, but it is somewhat related to it.
This is tantamount to revealing the secret. If he is not unlucky, who is unlucky?
And he himself said that the characters in the previous story books were so lucky.
This might mean that he is giving all his luck to those people in the storybook.
He wrote it in his own handwriting, which means he was willing to give it away.
Oh my god, this made her feel a little bit fantasy.
However, she can wear books, and Wang Can can be reborn, so there seems to be nothing wrong with spreading good luck.
But in the future, we can no longer ask him to write this kind of book.
It's better not to act imaginatively. If you have enough money, don't write anything yet.
Thinking like this, she suddenly asked: "Brother Xie, before the carriage entered the city, you said that the story book about me was almost finished. Didn't you give it to Shopkeeper Guo? Give me the story book and let me take a look. Also, let's If you don’t make this money first, I guess your luck will be overstretched.”
