The two cubs also nodded their heads: "I like it."
When Li Shu saw this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She was a country woman with little knowledge, while the three little guys grew up in Shengjing and had seen all kinds of good things. Previously, she was worried that her craftsmanship would not be able to enter the three The little guy's eyes.
Moreover, the last time Wang Guihua and the villagers made shoes and clothes for the three little guys, she didn't make them. Although the children were young, Li Qiao Taozhu didn't care about this, but when she faced the three little guys, she felt inexplicably of guilty conscience.
Now I can finally let go of my heart.
"Last time, Xiao Shu injured her arm by that bastard Li Ming. Otherwise, she would never have made fewer shoes and clothes for the three little guys than I did."
Wang Guihua saw Li Shu's appearance and suddenly said this.
As soon as she said this, Li Qiao, who was looking at the three little guys with a smile, immediately looked towards her: "What?"
"Hey, it's all over, sister-in-law, don't mention it." Li Shu was also surprised and said quickly.
"Why can't you mention it? You have been hanging by your arm for half a year. This crime cannot be in vain."
Wang Guihua looked at Li Qiao and said quickly: "After you were admitted as a scholar, that bastard Li Qiao admitted your mistake. The people in the village accepted him and let him work in the sweet potato workshop. But he was not satisfied. I want to be a foreman and manager in our Li family."
"He came to your eldest brother and wanted your eldest brother to say nice things to him in front of you. Your eldest brother didn't agree, so he went to Xiao Shu, and Xiao Shu didn't want to, so he started tugging at Xiao Shu, and he was careless. Xiao Shu fell. When Xiao Shu fell to the ground, her right hand was pressed, and it took more than half a year to recover."
"...Third sister, how is your arm now?"
Li Qiao immediately stood up from the round stool, walked to Li Shu in a few steps, grabbed her right arm and shook it.
Tao Zhu also stepped forward with concern: "Third sister, why didn't you tell Li Qiao? This is a big deal."
"I'm fine now. Whether I'm making snacks or doing needlework, it doesn't affect me. It doesn't hurt, and there are no sequelae."
Li Shu said with a wry smile: "Second brother didn't mean it. He was also frightened at the time. He knelt down and begged me not to tell you two about this. He cried with snot and tears. He also made his son and grandson kneel down. Come down and beg me.”
"Although he had misunderstandings a few years ago, he is still the second brother. I don't want you to worry, so I won't let the eldest brother and sister-in-law tell you."
"...He actually knelt down for you?"
Li Qiao was a little surprised.
With Li Shu's stubborn temper, it was beyond his expectation that Li Shu would be willing to apologize and admit his mistakes, but he didn't expect that Li Shu would be willing to kneel down to Li Shu?
"No, he not only knelt down by himself, but also pulled his one-year-old grandson to kneel down for me. The kid is not wrong. I didn't want to embarrass you, so I didn't tell you."
After all, Li Miao had already apologized to Li Qiao as the second brother, and now he showed signs of repentance. Regardless of whether it was true repentance or fake repentance, it was a sufficient gesture of repentance.
In this case, she didn't tell Li Qiao about it. Anyway, her arm was completely healed.
"Sooner or later, I have to tell Li Qiao that the reason why the Li family has such a big business is all thanks to Li Qiao. If you want to arrange work for Li Qiao, you must get Li Qiao's consent."
Wang Guihua said.
"I just feel sorry for the child..."
Li Shu looked at Li Qiao with concern: "Xiao Qiao, isn't our family always short of workers... Even the Meng family has come to work at our house. I, I thought, as long as he is sincere..."
"It's okay. Now that everyone knows that he admitted his mistake and kowtowed to you, it's not impossible to give him a job."
Li Qiao smiled and said: "Anyway, my second uncle is here and I can suppress him, but he can't become a monster."
It was just a Li Miao, he really didn't take it to heart.
After all, Li Shu didn't do anything to the original person, he just didn't behave like his elder brother.
And he is now a high-ranking official with a good salary. Compared with Li Shu's current situation, it is indeed easy for him to attract gossip.
Of course, what's more important is the lack of labor at home.
"Then you agree?" Li Shu was a little happy and quickly confirmed.
"Agreed, you and your second uncle will look at the arrangements." Li Qiao nodded with a smile.
"Okay." Li Shu smiled and felt relieved. After all, he was his second brother who grew up together. It's good that her younger brother can reconcile with him now.
She took the opportunity to talk about things in the village.
Now there are 10,000 acres of fields belonging to Li Qiao in Pingcheng.
With so much land, Li Liang and Li Gu were tenanted for part of it, and the remaining part was hired as long-term and short-term laborers.
These 10,000 acres of fields are spread all over Pingcheng, and the employed long-term and short-term workers are also all over Pingcheng.
At this time, transportation was inconvenient, and it would take two or three days to get to places far away, even in the same county.
People like Li Liang, Li Gu, Wang Guihua are used to being frugal and diligent. They are reluctant to throw away any grain of grain in their fields and want to store it all in the warehouse.
Moreover, they also hate lazy and slippery people.
With this in mind, the three of them kept a close eye on the 10,000 acres of land, working hard every day without touching the ground.
If the Meng family hadn't come over to share a lot of work, there would definitely not have been so many people coming to Beijing this time.
Yes, the Meng family really went to Sanliu Village to work.
Even Meng Yue’s parents went.
The Meng family has a large population. Meng Yue has uncles and uncles, and together they form a big family.
Meng Yue told them that they were not allowed to receive any gifts from wealthy businessmen, officials, and gentry, and they were not willing to use the salary Meng Yue sent back, so the big family continued to work in farming after Meng Yue became an official.
Years later, Meng Yue and Li Qiao sent letters to their homes at the same time. The Meng family were very happy to receive the letters. Being able to work in the Li family was much better than farming. Not only was the wages high, but the work was also easy.
They have no psychological burden at all. Although their Meng Yue is an official, Li Qiao's official position is even greater. What is there to be ashamed of?
Besides, even if it is really embarrassing, it is still important for Meng Yue to buy a house and get married to continue the Meng family.
Meng Yue has been a Beijing official for several years, but she is still renting an apartment!
And the eldest son is not young anymore. The children of people of the same age as Meng Yue in their village can go to private schools, but Meng Yue doesn’t even have anyone to talk to!
They were anxious to death.
Therefore, after receiving the letter, the whole family happily went to work at the Li family. They only hoped to earn more money so that Meng Yue could quickly buy a big house and have a good marriage.
The Meng family received Meng Yue's letter, and the Li family also received Li Qiao's letter. The Li family naturally welcomed the Meng family.
The Meng family is simple and diligent, and the Li family is most in need of such people.
With the addition of the Meng family, Li Gu, Li Liang, and Wang Guihua's work was divided a lot, and the three of them became much more relaxed than before.
Previously, Li Liang and Wang Guihua planned to come over this year just for fun and to see their son, grandson, and nephew, but now they have plans to stay in Beijing.
The same goes for Li Shu. She doesn't have to worry about her family, and Li Yuning and Li Yu'an are both at the age where they want to get married. It's better to stay in Beijing than in the village.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu did not expect that the three of them had the idea of staying in the capital. Tao Zhu immediately said: "Big brother, sister-in-law and third sister, Shengjing really can't live without you. Li Qiao already has 700 acres of land in Shengjing. , but because we are too busy and some fields are far away, we have not been able to take a look at those far away."
"ah???"
Li Liang and Wang Guihua never expected that there would be such a ridiculous thing, and they immediately became anxious: "If you two don't keep an eye on it, what if a tenant secretly steals the grain?"
Although one shouldn't be so malicious in speculating on people, when it comes to food, of course you can rest assured only if you keep an eye on it in person.
"What can't be done? We don't have time to go, so we can only ask the servants to take a look. But since we can't keep an eye on it, the tenants can do whatever they say. You also know that Li Qiao has always been generous and doesn't care about it. As long as it's a big difference, it's fine. ”
Tao Zhu sighed.
"How can this be possible!"
Li Liang couldn't help but slap his thigh. When it comes to food, how can he be confused?
"So brother and sister-in-law, please stay, otherwise Li Qiao and I will not be able to take care of the harvest of the fields."
"Also, Li Qiao and I plan to open a new shop, but the core recipe must be in the hands of our family members. But before, our family members were too busy to do anything, so although I bought the shop, it never opened."
Tao Zhu continued to talk about the difficulties he and Li Qiao had.
It's really not easy for them as a couple.
There are no elders to rely on, and the only ones who can help are the juniors like Li Dashan, Li Ershan, and Zhao Shen. However, the stall they run as a couple is getting bigger and bigger, and these juniors alone cannot take care of it.
After hearing these words, Li Shu felt anxious. After buying the shop, he would not open it, and he had to pay wages to the employees. Every day of delay was money.
The three of them, Li Liang, Guihua and Li Shu, who were still a little shaken at first, immediately made up their minds. No, they had to find out first. At the very least, they had to find out the true situation of the 700 acres of fields, and the new shop had to be on the right track. Think about whether to go home or not.
At this time, Li Qiao said again: "Brother, sister-in-law, and third sister, have you seen the gray road outside the capital?"
"I see, I see, Xiaoqiao is so awesome."
“Walking on it is smoother than walking on an adobe road!”
"No, I was in a hurry to enter the city and didn't have time to go down and touch it. It turned out to be made of plant ash. It's incredible!"
"In a word, Uncle Qiao is the most powerful!"
…
Li Liang Wang, Osmanthus Li Su, and the younger generation Li Dong Li Yuning were all amazed when they mentioned the cement road outside the city.
When Royal Logistics went to Sanliu Village to pick them up, Li Qiao had not yet "invented" cement. However, there was a lot of cement in the house they were in, such as the cement floor in the vegetable field, chicken coops, and goose pens. walls, and new buildings on the east side of the courtyard.
Therefore, they already know that the cement road is Li Qiao's masterpiece.
Naturally, they praised Li Qiao for such a magical road.
However, Li Qiao was not asking for praise when he mentioned the cement road. The progress of the cement road was gratifying. At this time, it had been paved to a place one hundred kilometers away from Shengjing and within the boundaries of Jibei Province.
Sheng Hong agreed to him and first built a cement road along the official road between Shengjing and Hexi Prefecture to make it easier for his relatives to travel between the two places.
This will take a lot of time, but can be almost completed within five years.
And within five years, the Grand Canal should also be opened.
Therefore, staying in Shengjing this time will not last forever. You only need to wait a few more years, and then it will be much easier to travel between Shengjing and Sanliu Village.
Also, the wharf in Weiqing County belongs to him, and he wants to open an inn and shop there, but he has not yet decided who will manage it.
Therefore, if you don’t want to stay in Shengjing, you can stay in Weiqing County in the future.
If you are in Weiqing County, you can quickly enter Beijing by waterway, and you can quickly reach Sanliu Village by land. It is very convenient to go anywhere.
This call from Li Qiao completely dispelled the hesitation of Li Liang King Osmanthus Li Shu. It turns out that as long as he waits for about five years, it will be so convenient to travel between the two places?
So what are you worried about? I will stay in Shengjing this time and take care of the business of Xiaoqiao stall first.
I have never personally visited my own farm, tsk, it’s unbelievable.
The opening of our own shop was delayed because no one was in charge of the core formula. Tsk, this loss of money is so heartbreaking!
"Let's go to the fields tomorrow, shall we?"
