Chapter 68 The stone mill trade, things in the paddy fields

"I'm in a hurry to use it. Do you see when can I make it well at the earliest?"

"Then you come here in ten days to get it."

Both parties made a receipt, and Dong Chenghu paid a deposit of one or two silver taels and left with a happy look on his face.

When he returned to the inn, Dong Yunmei had already woken up, Zuo Qingsong was not in the house, and Dong Chenghu didn't ask anything else because he was too happy.

"Sister, you finally woke up. The doctor said that you are strong-minded and weak, so you should be content with peace of mind. Don't think about the past. In the future, as long as you have a younger brother and a older sister, you will have a single bite of food. I will support our family."

While packing his luggage, Dong Chenghu looked around to check, and did not forget to persuade Dong Yunmei.

Dong Yunmei felt relieved and a relieved smile appeared on her face. Yes, she also has a younger brother and sister-in-law who treats her well. They will not dislike her past. What is she anxious about?

After thinking about this, Dong Yunmei's careful thinking was a lot easier, but her body was still a little weak and she was weak in speaking.

"I'm fine anymore, don't worry about me. Let's go home now. Qing... Brother Qingsong is going to decoct medicine, and we will leave when he comes back."

When Dong Chenghu saw that she was in a hurry to return home, he thought that Gu Shuixiu, who was pregnant at home, had four children, and became anxious.

"I'll go out to see if the medicine has been boiled. You can lie down in the room and don't go out. Now it's messy outside, there are all kinds of monsters and monsters. It's safer to stay in the inn."

When Dong Yunmei heard this, she didn't dare to go out for a second, and lay down honestly on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Dong Chenghu came to the kitchen of the backyard of the inn and saw many businessmen who had just come out of the horse circle in the backyard of the inn, but each of them looked very friendly and even had a faint hostility.

Dong Chenghu was sure that he didn't know them and hadn't celebrated the festival with them, so he carefully passed by them, turned around and quickly entered the kitchen.

Zuo Qingsong was concentrating on decorating medicine, and he didn't even know that Dong Chenghu was coming.

"Brother Qingsong, I have agreed with the stonemason. I will come to pick it up in ten days. The fields at home have just been harvested and have not been processed yet. I am not at ease with Liu Shuixiu and his four children at home. Let's go back now."

Dong Chenghu walked up to see if the medicine was ready, and then told him about his plans.

Zuo Qingsong did not comment and agreed to the plan.

After the medicine was boiled, Dong Chenghu took it to Dong Yunmei for taking it. Zuo Qingsong stayed alone in the kitchen to recover. Surprisingly, he did not rush to Dong Yunmei.

The three of them left Panlong Town before noon. This time, they didn't even enter Caozi Village and went straight to the deep mountains.

Finally, I returned home just after dark.

Gu Shuixiu was deeply relieved when she saw their return safely.

When the children saw that Dong Yunmei was fine, they were so happy that they even danced with the youngest Zhang Junchi. I wonder if it was infected with the good mood of his brother and sister.

Gu Shuixiu felt relieved and immediately went to the kitchen to make a sumptuous dinner for everyone, calling all the Qin family over.

Uncle Qin and Hao were waiting for news from Dong Chenghu and the others. When they heard that Dong Yunmei was back, they rushed over without saying a word.

"Head Hu, our grain has been bagged, and now we have only the shell-extinguishing noodles left. The stone mill will not be obtained after ten days. Let's not hurry. In the past ten days, you can fill the paddy fields with water, so that the rice poles will not need to be processed. Let them soak in water and soak them as fertilizer.

In addition, we hurriedly caught fish and shrimps in the paddy fields last time, but there should be loaches or eels in the soil, and there should be many young snails. We didn’t have time to take care of these things last time, and this time when the water was poured in, those guys should appear. If you have time, you can catch a few, and we can also eat a little more."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. Hao said with a smile: "That's a good relationship! This paddy field is really worry-free. If you cut rice, you don't need fat fields or anything else. Just irrigate it. You can catch the fish you mentioned inside. Then don't you worry about eating fish all winter? Our family will also grow paddy fields next year!"

This time, before Uncle Qin spoke, Hao made the decision directly. She had been jealous of the paddy field for a long time. Now there are so many delicious foods. How can Hao not be crazy?

Fortunately, Uncle Qin also agreed and even planned to turn all the fields in his family into paddy fields.

"We bought ten acres of land this time and made them all into paddy fields. Anyway, only I and Qing live in that valley now, and there are many fields to use. I plan to use adobe to cover a few acres of land and plant some wheat, vegetables, etc. If it is discovered at that time, it doesn't matter. If you have money, you buy the fields and don't plant them if you don't have money."

Dong Chenghu gave Uncle Qin a thumbs up, "Uncle, you are really courageous!"

Gu Shuixiu was naturally happy that they all went to grow rice. Her cultivation method was not only high-yield, but also the rice was also a very expensive grain. Even if she didn't eat it, she could exchange it for a lot of money.

"Shuixiu, don't you mean you don't plan to plant rice in the year? If all the fields are flooded, can you plant something else next year?" Dong Chenghu asked suddenly, making everyone focus on Gu Shuixiu.

"I originally didn't plan to grow rice, but I thought I didn't seem to have nothing to plant. After planting rice, I will harvest grains next year and sell the old grains I have stored this year. This is not bad.

But next year I really don’t plan to re-rive all the paddy fields on rice. You will know what to plant in the future.”

Gu Shuixiu kept her a secret and aroused everyone's curiosity.

The next day, Dong Chenghu went to the paddy fields to release water. Because the paddy fields had been dry for many days, Dong Chenghu expressed doubts about the statement that there were fish in the paddy fields. However, no matter how suspicious the water in the paddy fields was filled, he diligently went into the fields and turned over the paddy fields so that the dry straw could be mixed into the mud.

After this, I really found something swimming in the water, and disappeared suddenly. Because the mud was very turbid, Dong Chenghu couldn't see what it was, and suddenly became curious and worked hard to climb over the paddy fields. Now, the entire paddy fields were filled with splashes of water, and even the small fish and shrimps that had not been caught or flowed out of the water before also emerged from the soil.

The whole paddy field was so lively.

Gu Shuixiu had already prepared the meal at home and was waiting for Dong Chenghu. She waited for a while and didn't wait for anyone. She asked Dong Qingqing to find someone by the paddy field, but even Dong Qingqing didn't come back. Gu Shuixiu couldn't sit still now.
