Chapter 103 The road is open
Lin Dajiao involuntarily straightened her back, exuding a glow of confidence.
Lin Xiaoman struck while the iron was hot, "What do you think? Do you think Mr. Xu doesn't know how to grow the land, so he is not worthy of me?"
Lin Dajiao immediately shook her head, "No, no, he is also a scholar after all, how can I dislike him? I can farm, raise chickens and pigs, and I can also raise him."
After saying that, he blushed again, "But don't people in the village gossip?"
"Are you afraid that others will gossip?"
"That...of course not!" Lin Dajiao thought about how little gossip she had heard in the past few years. It was just that those people did not dare to provoke her in these years, which made her ears quieter. If she really got along with Xu Qiu
, even if people in the village gossip, it is because she married a scholar, "How about we just look at each other?"
Seeing Lin Dajiao agreeing so quickly, Lin Xiaoman was a little surprised.
But it is obvious that Xu Qiuliang's condition is not necessarily good, but his appearance is indeed superior. Even though he is older, he is still a handsome man, and he is the most respected scholar among the peasants. It is not surprising that Lin Dajiao fell in love with him.
As for Lin Xiaoman and Xu Qiuliang, they had a pretty good impression of him, much better than many men in the village who were just arrogant.
And Lin Dajiao is only thirty-three years old after the New Year. There are a lot of unmarried girls in their thirties there.
Although she has a bit of a tan from years of hard work, she has a beautiful foundation and a beautiful appearance. She is about the same age as Xu Qiuliang.
"That's okay, but don't agree too quickly. I'll go to Xu's house first to talk about helping my aunt to open up wasteland. Then Mr. Xu and his brothers will come over to help. The county magistrate has said that they will not be paid for helping to open up wasteland.
, we don’t even need to worry about food and drink. When the time comes, I’ll take a good look at Mr. Xu’s character, and if you think we can get along, just talk to me.”
Lin Dajiao nodded vigorously, and her face, which had been tanned by all the years of working in the field, was stained with rosy color.
Lin Xiaoman went back to Lu Jin. He didn't say that Lin Dajiao had fallen in love with Xu Qiuliang. He only said that Lin Dajiao wanted to hire people to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. He asked Lu Jin if he could ask some officials from the county government to measure the land. Then he would ask Brother Xu Qiuliang to measure the land.
A few of them went over to help with the work to see if the two of them could get along.
Lu Jin didn't expect this result, but he thought that it would be best if two people are compatible with each other. If they are not suitable, they can find out as soon as possible.
The road to the county seat is not yet open, and the land survey has to wait until the land is cultivated, which is not very urgent.
After that, Lin Erhu resumed his days of studying with Xu Qiuliang during the day, and going there with Lin Xiaoman for tutoring in the evening. When he had nothing to do, he bought himself a set of encyclopedias online and read them endlessly.<
/p>
Lin Xiaoman lamented that his younger brother was not only diligent and studious, but also had a photographic memory.
Grandma Chen's clothes are ready, so Lin Xiaoman goes to pick them up.
In just these few days, Grandma Chen made five sets of different styles of improved Hanfu for Lin Xiaoman. After Lin Xiaoman put them on, he couldn't believe that the pretty girl in the mirror, who looked like a fairy, was herself.
I asked Grandma Chen a lot about how to make clothes and how to use a sewing machine.
Grandma Chen saw that she was interested in making clothes, so she taught her how to use a sewing machine.
Lin Xiaoman had learned embroidery and making clothes from Mr. He before. The clothes she and Lin Erhu wore there were all made by herself. After learning how to use a sewing machine, she could make them decently by herself. In some details,
Grandma Chen calls her professional.
Especially some of the small flowers she randomly embroidered, Grandma Chen couldn't bear to put them down in her hands. If it weren't for her old age and poor eyesight, she would have wanted Lin Xiaoman to teach her how to embroider.
Knowing that she wanted to get a sewing machine, Grandma Chen immediately took her to the mall to buy a household sewing machine and delivered it directly to the textile factory community.
After returning home, Grandma Chen taught Lin Xiaoman how to install and use it. By the time the metropolitan class came, it was already late, and Lin Erhu had already finished reading with Xu Qiuliang over there and came here for tutoring lessons.
The next day, as soon as the mall opened, Lin Xiaoman rushed over and bought another sewing machine and asked the mall to deliver it to the warehouse.
There is electricity in the warehouse, so she can hear the sounds over there while she is making clothes, and she can go there in time when people come to the house.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, after the efforts of both the village and the county, the road to the county was finally opened, and Lu Jin hurried back to the county to handle official duties.
A heavy snowfall affected tens of thousands of people in Qingping County and surrounding villages and towns. Fortunately, the villages with the thickest snow were only those near Hedong Village. Although the snow was thick elsewhere, only a few houses had their roofs collapsed.<
/p>
Because Qingping County started to promote hot kangs before winter last year, in addition to people from Hedong Village making kangs for people outside, there are also people who have learned and worked outside. Almost every household in Qingping County has made hot kangs. In addition to not being able to go out, it is very difficult for life.
The impact is not that big.
In the counties adjacent to Qingping County, although the snowfall is not as heavy as in Qingping County, there are not many families with fire beds. It is cold after the snowfall, and many people freeze to death and suffer from frostbite.
Of course, when there is no snowstorm, many people freeze to death every year, which is not unusual. However, Qingping County has the heaviest snowfall, but not many people freeze to death, which makes people in several counties pay attention to Qingping.
The county’s fire bed is here.
I thought that after winter there would be no more work on the kang, but I didn’t expect that many people would come to the village to find someone to make the kang. The two Lai’an County coachmen who sent He Tiantian back to the village made the kang themselves.
The first warm winter in China has made all my relatives and neighbors envious. There are hundreds of jobs brought in by them alone.
Lin Daqiang simply sent 30 strong laborers from the village to other counties to take charge.
The vegetables that Lin Xiaoman originally planted in his old house were left unattended during the snowstorm, and they were all grown up. The edible ones were pulled out and eaten, and the inedible ones were given to others to feed the pigs. The empty vegetable frames were left empty, and they will be used in a few days.
Come and raise seedlings.
When Handlebar Shift came back from the city, he brought a message from Shopkeeper Feng. The goods he had stocked a year ago had been sold out. The road to Hedong Village had been blocked. The goods in Qingping County were out of stock, and the goods in Fucheng were also out of stock. Let Lin
Xiaoman replenished the goods as soon as possible and also sent several large baskets of porcelain bottles.
Lin Xiaoman has stock in her warehouse, but the porcelain bottles can't be delivered, and she doesn't have containers to put them in.
Now that the porcelain vase has arrived, Lin Erhu is still studying at Xu Qiuliang's place, and Lin Xiaoman is filling the bottles in the warehouse. It took him a whole afternoon to fill the porcelain vase sent by Shopkeeper Feng.
There is not much inventory in the warehouse, and a lot of replenishment is needed.
A lot of money in her mobile phone is being spent. Lin Xiao is worried. The spring planting will be done in a few days. She will have to spend a lot of money to buy grain and vegetable seeds. Now she has nothing to sell. She has to think about it.
How to make money?
