On the other side of Houjiawan, Hou Wei was very fast, but in January he bought enough chicken seedlings and put them into the 100-acre wasteland of the Su family to raise them.
However, at the beginning, the chickens were still small, and they built a chicken enclosure on the barren hills and raised them for nearly a month before they were released to run around the mountains. Now the chickens are still small and naturally produce not much fertilizer. Most of the young gold hired a La Yexiang to pull the fat water from the Sujiahe worker's dormitory every other day, which was barely enough for a while.
In the golden autumn season, it is the harvest season again. This year, the Su family has more than two acres of sunflower seeds to harvest. The rice and wheat in the forty-six acres of fertile fields are already ripe. Although the Su family is now a family that can afford long-term and short-term labor, but when the Su family opened the sickle, Youjin still took a few younger sisters to Houjiawan to work.
This time, the Su family hired a total of twelve part-time workers. It only took two or three days to harvest all the 46 mu of grain. Young Jin instructed Uncle Song to take the part-time workers to spread out the harvest and give it to his family. The sisters left about half an acre of land: "Although our family has a better life now, I will also take you to do farm work together, just to let everyone remember that we have also lived through hard times, no matter how well we live in the future. No matter what, it won't be any worse than living in Cuifeng Village."
With sickles in their hands, wearing thick cotton narrow-sleeved clothes, and wearing straw hats, the Su sisters nodded earnestly. Among them, there was an inappropriate teenager wearing wide-sleeved silk clothes who also wore straw hats. His mouth was panting: "Su family girl, I'm here to eat, young master, why do I have to work in the fields?" Where did Xiao Linfeng, who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, do such rough work? Before he even got off the ground, he was already tired.
With a malicious smile on You Jin's face, he said, "This is what your brother explained to me on purpose. If you have any opinions, go to him!" In fact, Young Jin didn't take this delicate and expensive at first. The son is included in the ranks of reform through labor, but he met Xiao Linyu when he went to the city to purchase the day before. He knew that the Su family was about to open a sickle, so he specially asked Young Jin to bring Xiao Linfeng with him.
At that time, You Jin felt a little shocked after hearing this: "Young Master Xiao, it's not fun to work in the field. Xiao Linfeng, someone who has never worked, is afraid that he won't be able to bear it?" It's not that she looked down on Xiao Linfeng, it was true He looks like a weak chicken.
"That's why I have to ask Miss Su. This kid Linfeng is just being naughty and has no bad intentions. It would be good if he could practice a little or two." Xiao Linyu cupped her hands and smiled gently.
Seeing him say this, You Jin also agreed to the matter: "Since Young Master Xiao said this, I will naturally not refuse." Xu is that Xiao Linyu is too gentle and polite, like a graceful son, Young Jin is in front of him There is always some inexplicable feeling unconsciously, some fear and some restraint, unlike Xiao Linfeng who always treats him like a child when he gets along with him, he is much more comfortable.
It was the three words of the two people that day that caused Xiao Linfeng, who was supposed to comfortably play the dog with Erlang's legs in the Su family's house, and was "exiled" to Houjiawan to harvest rice. Cry without tears, why does he have to come to harvest rice! Is the brother trying to kill him
"Don't stand there, it's useless to waste. Today, if we don't finish cutting this piece of land, no one will be able to leave." Youzhu patted Xiao Linfeng's shoulder like a troubled brother. The little ghost sighed: "It's all life!" The people who made cakes in the city were dragged back to work, and Xiao Linfeng still wanted to escape? does not exist does not exist!
With only half an acre of land, the seven sisters of the Su family, and even Xiao Qi, who was no more than four years old, staggered down to the ground with a sickle. Xiao Linfeng wiped his face and followed his fate down to the ground. The servants and guards of the Xiao family followed behind the young master. They couldn't bear to look away and stopped watching the young master at work. When did their precious young master do such a thing? The eldest young master is so cruel!
This time, apart from the Su family and Yulan, there were also a few Shannai who opened stores in the city as usual. All the servants of the Su family were also pulled into the fields to work. Although Young Jin did not expect them to be able to do much work, it was only a matter of tempering. Practicing temperament is also good.
After an extremely tragic day in Houjiawan, Xiao Linfeng has changed from a beautiful boy in white with fluttering clothes to a sweaty, muddy mud boy. He slumped weakly on the ground, took the gourd filled with clear water that the guard handed over, and gulped a few mouthfuls before he let out a long sigh, "It's over."
Uncle Song brought all the food back to the Su's house with the part-time workers. Because the sisters of Young Jin have been exercising for the past two years, they are not as exhausted as Xiao Linfeng. Xiao Qi handed the clean handkerchief to Xiao Linfeng: "Little brother, let's go home for dinner!" Now that the sun has slanted west, the day laborers still have to pick up the lights to work, but Young Jin brought a few people to finish the collection. With this half-mu of rice, it was kind enough to let everyone in the Su family go back.
With the help of his own guards, Xiao Linfeng barely stood up, got on the carriage tremblingly, and then collapsed directly in it. He was so tired, and now he felt too tired to even move a finger! Never again, never again!
However, Xiao Linfeng, who made up his mind to wait for Su Jiaqiu's harvest before going to eat and drink, the next morning, when the genius was bright, he was smilingly watching his eldest brother Xiao Linyu packed it into a carriage and sent it to Wuli Bridge. The Su family was over, and before leaving, Xiao Linyu did not forget to ask him: "Go and work hard, don't be lazy!"
Quan Dang didn't see the despairing expression on his younger brother's face, Xiao Linyu sent his younger brother away, and he also turned around and got into the carriage.
"Eldest young master, wouldn't it be too hard for the second young master to collect the food? The old slave looked at the second young master's face and peeled off!" Aunt He stood under the carriage, feeling a little distressed. The second young master begged for mercy.
Xiao Linyu, who was sitting in the carriage, heard Aunt He say this, so he opened the curtains of the carriage window and said with a smile, "Linfeng has been spoiled since he was a child. There are no good friends, and the only ones who can get along are the little girls from the Su family. Although the Su family is a bit poorer, those children are well-bred, and it is not a big deal to play with them in Linfeng. Bad thing."
"But after all, there are differences between men and women, and the second young master has never suffered so much!" Xiao Linfeng, whom Aunt He watched grow up, has long regarded him as more important than his own flesh and blood, and it hurts his eyes. What's the matter, how could the second young master suffer like this
"Aunt He, don't worry, that girl from the Su family knows it." Xiao Linyu still had inexplicable confidence in Su Youjin's eyesight, so she comforted Aunt He and went out in a carriage.
***
Youjin did not fail Xiao Linyu's trust. Today, only Uncle Song took Song Hua to oversee the work in Houjiawan, and the rest stayed at home to dry the millet. Xiao Linfeng, who heard the news, breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to the heavens!" If he were to go to work in the field, he would probably have even lost his life!
Putting a claw fence into Xiao Linfeng's hand, You Jin smiled and said, "Why is Young Master Xiao willing to let you suffer?" Not to mention Xiao Linfeng, even You Jin felt that Xiao Linyu was cruel enough and wanted him to To endure hardships, it was enough to suffer like yesterday, but I didn't expect this one to come today
Holding the claw fence and not working, Xiao Linfeng sighed: "Who knows?" After a hard day's work yesterday, when he went back last night, he found that he had several blisters on his hands, and it still hurts! He simply threw the claw fence away and ran to the flower hall to rest.
Shaking his head, he smiled helplessly, but Young Jin didn't think about letting Xiao Linfeng work today, so he went with him.
The Su family now also has enough rice drying fields, and the 46 acres of fertile fields were harvested in just three days. The day laborers then moved to the barren hills of Houjiawan, where there are 20 acres of sunflowers that the Su family planted this year.
After the autumn harvest, the straw and sunflower stalks are also kept for composting, but they are all used equally. The good sun for half a month allows the farmers to dry this year's harvest and put them in the warehouse. The Su family, who had been relying on buying food for a living, was the first time to have food to fill the granary that was still empty.
"We don't need to buy grain in the future!" Young Jin crossed his hips and looked at the full granary, and he was relieved. Now that there are more and more people in the family, the rations alone will not be able to be changed in one day. Little silver, she has been looking forward to the autumn harvest for a long time.
Now Su Jiaxiang's business is getting better and better, and she can basically achieve a net profit of 20 taels every day, but it is still not enough in Young Jin's opinion. She is really poor and afraid, and she knows that poor and humble couples grieve in everything, for the sake of seven A younger sister, she has to have a bigger family business.
Nearly 20 acres of saplings have survived on the barren hills of Houjiawan. Although they have not yet bloomed, they are growing very well. It will take another year or two to bloom. By then, the raw materials Su Jiaxiang needs can be solved. A majority.
After half a month of Tiangong's beautiful sunshine, it began to rain continuously. Everyone in the Su family has now put on quilted clothes to prevent the cold autumn rain. After the autumn harvest, the 30 acres of fertile land that Youjin entrusted Chen Yaren to look for for a long time has also been found. The 30 acres of fertile land added this time is on the edge of a village more than ten miles west of Luohe Prefecture, a distance from Wuli Bridge. There is also a distance of nearly twenty miles.
The land you bought this time was directly under the name of Youyin, but he didn't mention it to his family. Everyone in the Su family thought that the land bought this time was still under the name of Youjin, after all Now that the head of the Su family is Young Jin, it is normal for her to fall under her name.
"Miss Su, you are buying land and people. Your situation is really getting better. If you have any business in the future, please take care of it." Chen Yaren is now more and more concerned about the business of the Su family, as long as It was the young gold who entrusted him with the task, and it was done with quality and quantity. After all, this seemed to be the owner of a long-term business, and it had to be handled well.
You Jin put the land deed into his cuffs and nodded with a smile: "It must be, there is still time to trouble Uncle Chen!" After the trees on Houjiawan Mountain are all blooming, You Jin will have to find a few old beekeepers , while I can see it today, I also mentioned it to Chen Yaren by the way.
"I'm afraid it's hard to find the beekeeper, but I'll try my best to find it." Chen Yaren pondered for a long time after listening to Young Jin's words.
Youjin also understood, and said: "It's okay, if you really find beekeepers, you can do it without selling yourself. I can hire them to work at a high price." After all, the Su family is not a big family. , How many people are willing to sell themselves? Young Jin also knew this, so he used roundabout tactics. As long as he could invite someone, that would be a good thing.
