The original small pond has expanded three to four times, but lotus roots were planted in the previous small pond. The weather is good this year, and there are especially many lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the area of the previous pond.
Chu Yue said with concern on her face, "That's enough. Uncle and uncle, please don't stay in the water for too long. The weather is still a bit cool now, so be careful if you catch a cold."
"It's okay. At worst, I can go back later and ask your aunt to make a bowl of ginger syrup." Yun Dabao said with a sad look on his face, "After the pond was dug, a lot of fish fry were put in it. We are also worried about too many lotus leaves. It’s not conducive to the growth of fry, so I thought of digging some out.”
Chu Yue understood, "Where are the other three long-term workers?"
"It takes many days to pull weeds in the fields. It takes many days to pull weeds in an eighty-acre field." Yun Chengcai said.
Chu Yue looked at the long pig pen not far away, the half-sized chickens running all over the mountain, and the ducks that kept quacking.
"Uncle and uncle, you guys can take care of so many poultry?"
"I'm busy, but it's not bad." Yun Dabao said.
Chu Yue thought for a while and looked at the two people.
"Why don't you let your eldest aunt and second aunt live here to help? I will calculate the monthly payment for the two aunts at 600 yuan a month. I will talk to my aunt later, and if you agree, the calculation will start from this month."
Five grown men will inevitably be negligent sometimes. If two women are left to work at home, things will be done more carefully.
Yun Chengcai looked at Chu Yue and said, "Don't tell me, they are here. They have thought of many things that we have neglected before."
"Women are very attentive." Yun Dabao said, "I will tell them when I get back that if they can stay here, I will let your grandparents live here. After all, there are many empty houses here, and it is convenient for us to take care of them. "
"Since I have handed Zhuangzi to my uncle, I can arrange these things by myself." Chu Yue bent down and picked up a bunch of lotus root tips on the ground, "Since my uncle is busy, we won't disturb you. You guys finish your work, we’re going back first.”
Lu Xinghe took the lotus root tip from Chu Yue's hand and stuffed it into the carriage, then helped Chu Yue onto the carriage.
"Uncle and uncle, let's go."
Brother Yun Dabao waved to the two of them, "Hey, walk slowly."
After returning home, Chu Yue took the bunch of lotus root tips to the kitchen, filled a basin with some water, put the lotus root tips upright in the basin and ate them slowly.
Yun Cuihe glanced towards the kitchen while sewing in her hands.
"Yueyue, are these lotus root tips taken from Zhuangzi?"
"Yes, mother."
Chu Wenzhu looked at the lotus root tips in the basin with surprise on his face, "Sister, is this delicious?"
She hasn't eaten.
Chu Yue smiled slightly and said, "It tastes pretty good. Ask your mother to make one for you at noon and you will know after you try it."
Not far away, Heimu was holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea, glancing in Chu Yue's direction while drinking.
Through these days of getting along, he finally discovered it.
This girl is not only a doctor, but also a highly skilled cook. The dishes she makes are not only unique, but also taste very good.
As if aware of Heimu's gaze, Chu Yue glanced in his direction.
"Kuromu, are the dried chrysanthemums I gave you last time enough?"
The black wood forehead is protruding.
These days, he was forced to make a cup of chrysanthemum tea every day, which almost made him vomit.
"enough."
"As long as it's enough, remember to tell me if it's not enough."
Kuroki hummed and went into the room with tea.
…
In the evening, Jiang You sent the deed signed by Mrs. Huang and three hundred taels of silver.
"Doctor Chu, this is what Mrs. Huang kept in Hongyan Pavilion. I went to the county to deliver it today, and Miss Shen asked me to bring it back."
Chu Yue took the deed and looked at it. She agreed to the ten shares given to Mrs. Huang.
Jiang Wan handed Chu Yue another deed and a money bag in his arms.
"This is Miss Shen's. Please ask Dr. Chu to take a look at it."
Chu Yue read them one by one, and Shen Zhixue spent one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy five shares.
She put them away.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jiang. Are you still used to it in the workshop these days?"
Jiang You rubbed his head and smiled, "It's all good. I help out in the workshop when I'm free, and when I have something to do, I go out to deliver goods. It's quite relaxing. I don't have to worry about not having any work to do like before. Every day I put down my face and deal with others."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Just get used to it."
…
Soon it was April 18th, the day when Lu Dagui and Zhang Qiuying got married.
Because it was not appropriate for the two of them to meet each other a few days before the wedding, Lu Dagui helped out at the medical clinic for several days.
Two days before the wedding, after he had prepared all the things in the rented yard, he and Tiedan moved to the new house.
Although we rented a small courtyard, we finally settled down in the town.
He didn't plan to invite too many people to the wedding, so he invited a few friends he had made in town, people who worked together in workshops and medical clinics, and a few important relatives at home. After doing the math, he could almost sit at five or six tables. , His small courtyard can’t accommodate it.
On the morning of the wedding day, Lu Dagui got up early and put on a bright red wedding dress. He also put on a more festive dress for Tiedan.
When the time came, under the arrangement of the brothers, he mounted the tall horse borrowed from Chu Yue and set off towards the workshop.
Because I lived very close to the workshop, I didn't go directly to the workshop. Instead, I walked around for a while before going to the workshop.
Because Zhang Qiuying was getting married, Chu Yue came to the workshop early in the morning, and Chu Yue applied the makeup on her face herself.
After applying the makeup, Ms. Fang on the side was stunned.
"What a beautiful bride!"
Zhang Qiuying's cheeks turned red, "Aunt Fang, I'm already nervous, please stop teasing me."
Mrs. Fang covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm not making fun of you. She is already good-looking. It shows that Dagui is a lucky person."
Chu Yue heard the sound of playing outside and quickly checked Zhang Qiuying's makeup. When she saw that there was no problem, she put a hijab on Zhang Qiuying's head.
After a while, Lu Dagui, dressed in red wedding clothes, entered the courtyard.
"Xinghe Wife, where is Qiuying?"
Chu Yue pointed to the house behind her, "It's in the house."
Lu Dagui laughed and entered the room. When he saw Zhang Qiuying sitting quietly by the bed with her head covered, he was very excited.
"Qiuying, I'm here."
He stepped forward in two steps and carried Zhang Qiuying directly out of the house and out of the yard.
At this time, the brothers waiting outside saw Lu Dagui carrying Zhang Qiuying out, and they all started to cheer. Firecrackers were also lit at this time, and the yard was very lively.
Miao Miao looked at her mother being carried away by Lu Dagui, as if something was about to be lost, and the little hand holding Chu Wenzhu's hand tightened.
Chu Wenzhu was attentive and turned his head to look at Miao Miao.
"Miaomiao, what's wrong with you?"
Miaomiao's eyes were slightly red, and she curled her lips and said, "Sister Xiaozhu, does my mother not want me anymore?"
