Since they have this idea in their hearts, of course they will do their best to work for the Zhao family. What's more, the Zhao family is so kind, the wages are so generous, and the payment is so timely - where can such good things be found?
Now that the sugarcane seeds have been brought back, Zhao Liya began to fertilize, soak the seeds, and plant them.
Manpower is not a problem, just hire more people.
She said that based on the total number of people needed and the requirements for hiring people, the two patriarchs would discuss who should do it.
In this regard, Zaihu Village is very united and fair, with quite a bit of tribal heritage.
Zhao Liya also found out later that the villagers of Zaihu Village were indeed a tribe living in the mountains. They were recruited by the government more than fifty years ago and settled in their current place.
A lot can change in fifty years, but there are still a lot of things that have not changed.
Everything is in order.
After Hu Ling came back, he stopped going to Suixi County and stayed in Zaihu Village to help.
The place there has basically been decided, and all that is needed is to transport the sugar cane seeds here. With Li Zheng and his son, and Uncle Ruan Gui and his son here, it is enough.
Qu Yutao is also there most of the time.
Originally, she was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable when she saw Hu Ling, but Hu Ling's reaction was that he didn't know anything about it. Qu Yutao gradually felt at ease and was finally able to talk to Hu Ling openly.
After Zhao Liya wandered around the fields for so many days, everyone in Zaihu Village was very kind, and Qu Yutao gradually became more cheerful and confident, and her heart became more determined.
She would no longer worry about life-long events. She subconsciously felt that she would not go wrong by following this cousin.
On the contrary, Widow Qu, seeing Qu Yutao talking skillfully and naturally with Hu Ling, couldn't help but roll her eyes and secretly reveal a meaningful smile. When Qu Yutao saw it, she felt helpless.
She was lucky that Hu Ling didn't see her mother's smile like this.
In order to kill her mother's ridiculous idea that she shouldn't have, Qu Yutao made it clear to her in private and decisively in a timely manner, "We couldn't have the life we have now. Mother, please do your best."
Don't be stupid. Cousin Hu Ling will leave here sooner or later. He is a good citizen and we are not suitable. If you really do anything, we and I will have no shame in continuing to live in the Zhao family..."
Widow Qu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She sighed and said regretfully: "You are right, it's my mother who is confused. Oh, what a pity."
Qu Yutao didn't care whether it was a pity or not, as long as she didn't get confused. "Then you should remember it."
"Remember, remember, don't worry! Am I that stupid?" Widow Qu said with a smile.
Qu Yutao also smiled, "That's good!"
Her mother is a shrewd person, and she knows this well.
On the day we started planting sugar cane, it started to drizzle.
Gradually, the pattering became a little heavier, and it lasted for more than an hour before it stopped again.
The experts said, look at the weather, this intermittent rainy weather may last for several days!
"This kind of weather doesn't delay the work in the fields. When the rain stops, we can go to the fields. It will be more convenient to plant sugar cane and save watering. Miss Zhao is really lucky, haha!"
Thinking about it this way, isn't it really good luck?
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "I'm borrowing your good words, but this will make everyone's work more difficult."
Several old men laughed and waved their hands carelessly: "Hey, we are all farmers, why do we care about this? We still get paid for this work, what else can we say? It's not better than anything else!"
Zhao Liya also laughed when she said this, "Thanks to everyone's hard work."
That evening, Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Qu Yutao went home. It happened that the puppies they wanted had been weaned, so they brought two puppies back.
Zhao Liya sealed a red envelope worth thirty cents to the owner of the puppy.
The two little puppies are native dogs, with soft brown fur, very beautiful, and big black eyes like moist glass, they look cute and innocent when they look at people, and when they match the childish whining sounds,
It makes my heart feel so soft.
The whole family loved the two little puppies they brought home. Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin squatted beside the bamboo basket and couldn't move at all. They gently stroked the puppies with their little hands, giggling with joy.
Zhao Lin suddenly raised his head: "Sister, what are the names of the puppies?"
Zhao Lixiang also raised his head when he heard it, and both of them looked at Zhao Liya eagerly.
Zhao Liya was so funny that she deliberately teased them: "Yeah, we haven't given the puppy a name yet! Can you guys tell me what name we should give the puppy?"
When the two children heard this, they both thought seriously.
Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted happily: "How about we call them Dabao and Xiaobao! They are so cute, they are cute babies!"
Zhao Lixiang's eyes also lit up, and he happily agreed: "Well, they are so cute, such cute babies!"
The adults all laughed when they heard this.
Zhao Liya also smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, Lin'er, Xiang'er is great. What a nice name for a dog! From today on, they will be called Dabao and Xiaobao!"
Anyway, he can be a cute baby when he grows up, there is nothing wrong with him!
"Well, Dabao, Xiaobao!" The two children giggled happily and couldn't wait to show off, saying that they would feed Dabao and Xiaobao from now on.
Mrs. Deng coaxed them with a gentle smile and asked them to take care of Dabao and Xiaobao together in the future.
During the excitement, there was a knock on the door in the yard. Qu Yutao ran to open the door, and in came the second sister-in-law Gu and the third sister-in-law Gu.
Qu Yutao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously showing some timidity and fear.
The women in the village, whether they are fawning over the Gu family's sisters-in-law or fearing the Gu family's sisters-in-law, are inevitably a little afraid of them.
When Sister-in-law Gu saw it was Qu Yutao, she raised her eyebrows, looked at her with a critical eye, and said with a half-smile, "Hey, isn't this Yutao? I haven't seen her for a while, and she's really looking more and more juicy!"
Gu Sansao also smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case? The most beautiful girl in our Yancun is Yutao."
Qu Yutao froze slightly, not daring to say anything in anger.
Being stared at by them with critical eyes that seemed to mean something, she felt a chill in her heart and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Zhao Liya stepped forward: "What do you two sisters-in-law want to do when you come here?"
Second Sister-in-law Gu and Third Sister-in-law Gu took their eyes away from Qu Yutao. Second Sister-in-law Gu said sarcastically: "I heard that you guys recently ran to Zaihu Village. Did you forget to pick Ganoderma lucidum? This Ganoderma lucidum should also be picked.
Did you hand it in? Otherwise, if you miss the government, huh, you will suffer the consequences."
Zhao Xiang, Hu Ling and others also came out of the room and stood behind Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao.
