Qiu Zhuangtou is discussing with several crop handlers about spring planting in a few days.
When I heard that the master was coming, I hurriedly followed my younger son and ran here.
Ye Yutong and Li Yunze were slowly walking up the mountain. When they saw the father and son, they stopped.
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Uncle Qiu, I haven't seen you for a few months. I feel like you are running faster than before."
A simple and honest smile appeared on Qiu Zhuang's dark face, "Master, please stop teasing me, my body is getting worse every year.
When I was young, I could run for miles without losing breath. Now that I am old, I can no longer run. "
Ye Yutong smiled and shook his head, "You are old, but you are not old at all. I think your body is strong and you can do more than young people."
Old Qiu laughed out loud at her praise.
The four of them walked up the mountain while talking.
Perhaps because they were afraid that these animals would come down the mountain and harm the crops, the chickens, ducks and geese were all fenced, but the fences were very wide, which was equivalent to semi-free range farming.
Li Yunze asked: "Uncle Qiu, I plan to plant dozens of acres of grapes here. Can you please see how to arrange it appropriately?"
Qiu Zhuangtou was surprised. He didn't expect his master to plant grape vines.
But he asked no questions, thinking about where the land would be suitable for growing fruit trees.
At this time, Qiu Xiaosi spoke: "Master, if you want to plant grape vines, the land I bought last year is quite good. But there is no water there, and I don't know if it can be planted?"
Both of them trusted Qiu Xiaosi's vision, and it would rain soon, so there would be no shortage of water there.
Li Yunze immediately made the decision, "The vineyard is decided to be there, Xiaosi, you have to have that land cleared out right away.
I will bring the grape seedlings here in the evening and start planting the trees tomorrow. Didn't you dig a few deep wells last year? Let's water them with water from the wells first. "
"Master, the land has been cleared a few days ago. You can bring the grape saplings over at night and we will start planting them right away. The humidity is heavy at night, so the saplings are more likely to survive after being planted."
Ye Yutong listened to what he said clearly and knew that this boy was really good at growing crops.
She smiled and said: "Okay, then listen to Xiaosi. We will go and pull the grape seedlings over now. We should be able to arrive in the evening."
"Master, then I'll go and gather the people. Dozens of acres of grape seedlings can be planted in one night."
"Go ahead."
Qiu Xiaosi saluted them and ran to call for people.
Li Yunze looked at Qiu Zhuangtou and said, "Uncle Qiu, Xiaosi has been taught well by you. He is smart and capable. Let him learn knowledge well. When he is older, I will reuse him."
After hearing this, Qiu Zhuangtou was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow to the two of them.
Li Yunze stopped him quickly, "Uncle Qiu, it doesn't have to be like this, I know all your efforts.
Especially your eldest son Erlang, who travels around all year round, and my uncle and I see it. No matter what happens in the future, I will never treat you badly. "
Qiu Zhuangtou wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Master, if it weren't for my help back then, how would we be a big family now?
My eldest daughter-in-law’s family has also received great favor from the Lin family. What we do now is not as good as one-tenth of what the master did to us back then. "
Speaking of his grandfather Lin Shangshu, Li Yunze sighed softly.
Seeing that both of them were a little sad, Ye Yutong smiled and walked forward: "Uncle Qiu, let's go back first and come back in the evening."
"well."
Qiu Zhuangtou wiped away his tears and said worriedly: "Master, why don't you let the guards see you off?"
"No, there's someone outside to help."
The two of them came out of Zhuangzi and didn't go far. They found a remote place and entered the space. They were going to dig up grape saplings.
Ever since they decided to open a winery in Fengcheng, the two of them dug up a lot of grape seedlings one after another and kept them in the basement.
Now there isn’t much in the basement except eggs, fruits and vegetables.
In the open space in front of the courtyard, there are corn cobs that were broken a few days ago. Before the two of them had time to thresh, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the ground had to be dug.
Ye Yutong looked at the work inside and said with a sad face: "Brother, if the second brother doesn't come with us, we will have to be busy on the road again, and we will never finish the work."
Li Yunze smiled and touched her head, "You go cook and I'll dig grape seedlings. It doesn't matter if you can't finish digging today. We'll just send another batch over before we leave."
"It's still early to cook. Let's go together. It has to be faster."
The grape seedlings were planted last year, and they have grown very big now. If you plant it this year, it will bear fruit the year after next at the latest.
The two of them started working without even bothering to eat.
After digging for a long time, I ate a few buns and came out of the space in the evening.
Because there are too many grape seedlings and it’s hard for them to pull them over?
When they arrived near Zhuangzi, Ye Yutong released the grape seedlings. Let Qiu Xiaosi and others use a cart to pull them over.
Seeing how many trees they had planted, Ye Yutong helped with some pointers.
After teaching them the lesson, the two left.
They first met with Xiong Dajun, who reported to them the major and minor events that occurred in Fengcheng during this period.
"Years ago, when Mr. Song took his wife and son to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Song from Zhuangzi, they encountered a group of vicious bandits on the road. The whole family was gone. Now there is only one legitimate daughter and two children left in the second room. A minor bastard."
Regarding this news, Xiong Dajun had sent a letter to Lingnan Mountain some time ago. But Ye Yutong and Li Yunze did not receive the news.
They stayed at the base not long after the Chinese New Year, and then went to Dongyang County. They must have missed the messenger.
The two of them were not surprised by Master Song Er's ending.
When he harms others, he should think that others will fight back.
As the saying goes, it is indecent to reciprocate, and this counterattack by Shanchang Song and Song Yichen has already left him a feeling of affection.
At any rate, he was left with two bastards and one legitimate daughter, but it’s hard to say how they will be raised in the future.
Ye Yutong asked: "Does Mr. Song and Mrs. Song know?"
"I already knew it. When Mrs. Song heard about it, she fainted on the spot.
Old Mrs. Song was also hit hard and is no longer in charge. Last month, the position of clan leader was passed on to Chief Song Shan.
A few days ago, Chief Song personally escorted them to Zhuangzi for rest. I heard that two imperial doctors from the capital were following them to help them recuperate. "
Li Yunze asked him, "If Mr. Song is not in Fengcheng, who is in charge of the Song family?"
"Mrs. Song's health has recovered, and now she is in charge of all matters of the Song family.
During the absence of Mr. Song Shan, Mr. Song took care of the affairs of Mingyang Academy.
I met him on the road the day before yesterday. He was accompanied by many guards, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. At first glance, it seems that he has been specially trained. "
Li Yunze nodded, "Okay, I understand. Brother Xiong, you should go to bed early. Let's leave first and visit Song Mansion early tomorrow morning."
"Master, won't you rest here?"
"No, we still have something to do. We have made an appointment with someone else. We will come back to you in two days."
Xiong Dajun clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Master."
