Beibei nodded: "Of course I want to go. Since I'm here to experience the autumn harvest, I have to experience everything that the autumn harvest has to offer. Why not?"
Fang Xiaoxi actually didn’t want to go pick up the ears of corn today: “It’s not that I can’t, but now many people haven’t finished harvesting their corn. If we go to pick them up, people will say something.”
So that's how it is. Beibei understood: "Okay then, when you can go pick it up, call me. I want to go for a walk on the mountain over there, why don't you come with me."
Mo Yunyao also nodded: "I also want to go to the mountain. Are there any fruits or something we can pick on the mountain? Let's go up the mountain and pick them."
The autumn harvest at Fang Xiaoxi's home was almost done, and all that was left was to dry the crops. There was nothing for them to do, so Fang's father just watched Fang Xiaoxi.
"Xiao Xi, I remember the wild grapes on the mountain are almost ripe. Beibei has been working hard these days, why don't you take them out for a trip?"
Wild grapes on the mountain? When Beibei heard this, he blinked at Fang Xiaoxi, his face showing "I want to go."
Fang Xiaoxi felt that Beibei was unexpectedly cute! She couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, let's get the backpack and pick some wild grapes."
Beibei and the other two took Chu Shaoyang and Mu Yeyin up the mountain to pick wild grapes. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they met Fang Shanshan, who was supporting Fang Dalang's mother, Fang Xiaoxi's grandmother.
Fang Xiaoxi's grandmother looked at Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Fang Xiaoxi, you evil creature, you don't even have the ability to see old people in your eyes. Your grandmother is standing right here, but you act as if you can't see anything."
Seeing that it was the old woman again, and she started to curse right away, Fang Xiaoxi was very disgusted. The most puzzling thing was that after the old woman finished cursing Fang Xiaoxi, she dragged Fang Shanshan to Beibei.
With a kind face, no, it should be said that he looked at Beibei in a flattering manner: "Beibei, this is Shanshan, my eldest granddaughter. You see, she is much better than Fang Xiaoxi. Don't play with Fang Xiaoxi, play with Shanshan instead."
Does this address mean that he is very familiar with me? It is totally incomprehensible. Beibei gave Mo Yunyao a look, and Mo Yunyao immediately understood.
Are you kidding me? Who is Mo Yunyao? She was a bully in Moyun City back then. It's ok for an old woman from a village to be unreasonable, but she is not qualified to talk nonsense in front of them.
"Old lady, who are you? Who is my Beibei playing with? What's your business? Do you live by the sea? Why are you meddling in other people's affairs? Also, is this you who calls Beibei? Do you understand me calling you Miss Mu?"
The old lady naturally understood what Mo Yunyao said, and it was obvious from her aura that Mo Yunyao was not someone to be trifled with, so she quickly protected Fang Shanshan behind her.
Beibei looked at Mo Yunyao and turned around to continue walking up the mountain. Fang Xiaoxi followed him, and Fang Shanshan wanted to follow, but Mo Yunyao glared at her.
"Don't follow us. Who are you? You're so shameless and you're wearing such old-fashioned clothes. It's an eyesore just standing next to us."
Fang Shanshan's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she felt very aggrieved. Wasn't Fang Xiaoxi also a village girl? Why could they play together
When I looked up and saw Fang Xiaoxi, I discovered that she was wearing a light blue dress. She didn't look like a country girl, but more like a city girl.
Seeing this scene, Fang Shanshan was instantly overwhelmed by jealousy and looked at the old lady: "Grandma, why is Fang Xiaoxi wearing such beautiful clothes?"
Although the floral dress she was wearing was also very beautiful, it was nothing compared to Fang Xiaoxi's.
The old lady was also angry: "It's absurd that a money-loser is dressed so well. I will go to your second uncle's house now and ask him to give you all Fang Xiaoxi's skirts."
Fang Shanshan laughed when she heard this: "Okay, grandma, let's go now. When I wear the same clothes as Fang Xiaoxi, Beibei will definitely be willing to play with me. But the girl next to Beibei is so fierce."
The old lady grumbled a few words: "No, that little girl is so charming. She is not a good person at first glance. She is surrounding Beibei and may be targeting Nannan! I don't let you get close to my granddaughter because she is too beautiful."
Fang Shanshan's eyes lit up: "So that's the case, no wonder she's so fierce, she's jealous of me. Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely catch Nan Nan."
He is the young master of the county magistrate's family. As long as she marries Nan Nan, she will be the young lady of the county magistrate's family. She can enjoy whatever she wants in the future.
Even Fang Shasha from next door married the son of a landlord as a concubine. She had such a luxurious life that she could not even dream of. If she became the young lady of the county magistrate's family, what would Fang Shasha be
Beibei and the others walked toward the mountain. Sure enough, not long after they went up the mountain, they saw a large wild grape forest covered with grapes.
"This looks good, let's all pick some. I'll bring some back for my brother and my parents to taste."
This kind of natural thing, I think my parents will definitely like it. While Beibei and others were picking wild grapes, Nannan had already brought Tong Ruyan and Tong Ruyu to the government office.
Looking at the long row of machines at the government office, Nan Nan was also a little surprised: "I didn't expect that threshers would be so popular. People from so many villages need them."
Tong Ruyu smiled and said, "Of course. What do the people care about most? It's the things that are closely related to their lives. This thresher hits the nail on the head. As long as it's not too expensive, a family or several families can buy it together and sell it."
That was true. Nan Nan brought the two of them into the government office and saw Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looking at something over there, looking very busy.
"Hello, mother. Mother, I have something to tell you. Let's find a place."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Nan Nan's serious expression and gave him face. When he followed Nan Nan out, he saw Tong Ruyu and his sister.
"Why are you two here too?"
Tong Ruyu and his sister hurriedly greeted Qian Jiujiu: "Greetings, Madam Mu. We came here to ask for something."
Something to ask? Qian Jiujiu was a little curious and glanced at Nan Nan. Could this Nan Nan be a lobbyist
Nan Nan touched his head and said, "Mom, I want the blueprints of the thresher. I want to sell the thresher with Brother Tong. Brother Tong also has some carpenters under him. They can be used to make threshers at this time. It can also solve the urgent problem. What do you think?"
Sell? Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had always been on behalf of the imperial court, and it was their duty to do something for the people, but they had never thought of selling the thresher.
But now that I put it this way, it seems like it’s possible: “Okay, I’ll go get you the blueprints for the thresher. By the way, I have blueprints for other farm tools here, do you want them?”
She drew a lot of them, sent some back, and kept some. Nan Nan smiled and said, "To be honest, in addition to the thresher drawings, I also have other farm tools. Look."
Then he showed Qian Jiujiu the drawing of the flail made by Fang Xiaoxi: "This is a flail. Look, it's very convenient to use." (The name of the bamboo rake I mentioned yesterday was wrong. The correct name is flail.)
Seeing this flail, Qian Jiujiu was stunned: "Who came up with this thing?"
This thing is also on her drawing. It seems that as long as an example is given, these farmers will find a way to solve it themselves.
Nan Nan looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "This was Xiao Xi's idea. But this thing is very convenient to make. It's not like a thresher, so it's just an extra."
The farm tools that Qian Jiujiu was thinking about were all the old farm tools that he had seen in the news before. In fact, there were not many of them. When he heard Nan Nan's words, "Okay, take the drawings. Don't make them too expensive. It will benefit the people."
Tong Ruyu immediately nodded and promised: "Madam, don't worry, I am definitely not a black-hearted businessman, it won't be very expensive."
After getting the blueprints, Nan Nan and Tong Ruyu went back to work. Qian Jiujiu went to find Mu Yexiao and said, "My husband, I have something to discuss with you."
Mu Yexiao was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"
Qian Jiujiu repeated what happened just now, and then continued: "You said that the wisdom of farmers is also infinite. How about writing a notice, and we will give a certain reward to anyone who invents agricultural tools that are beneficial to the people. What do you think?"
This is possible. There are so many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once someone takes the lead, there will be many people who will think about things. Countless people will have countless ideas, and countless things will appear.
"Okay. Then I'll ask Master Fang to write the notice now."
The threshers here have almost all been taken away. The rest will be collected tomorrow, and Tong Ruyu has already sent the waiter in the store to promote them.
He said that there were threshers for sale in his shop, and those who wanted to buy them could make reservations in advance. Nan Nan was also helping out in the shop, and he was very busy.
If we talk about leisure, the grape picking in Beibei is the most leisurely. Soon, their baskets were filled with grapes.
Fang Xiaoxi saw that the grape basket was full, so she said, "Why don't we go back? The grape basket is full and can't hold any more."
Beibei nodded: "Okay, it's getting late. After we get back, we'll go straight back to the county government office."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded and told Beibei and the others to go back directly. Otherwise, on the way back, Fang Shanshan and her grandparents might come and cause trouble.
Thinking of the grandparents, Fang Xiaoxi had a headache. They were so determined last night, but they regretted it the next day and even brought their granddaughter to make trouble.
The group went down the mountain and returned to the village carrying grapes. As expected, they saw that the entrance to Fang Xiaoxi's house was very lively and quite a few people were there.
Beibei couldn't help but frowned: "Your house is really lively, could it be that the old lady in your family is causing trouble again?"
