"Okay, we're going to go to Uncle Zheng's house, so we won't bother the aunt anymore. Let's go first." Jiang Hexi knew that if this continued, everyone was uneasy, so he simply proposed to leave.
"I'll send Miss Jiang to see you off!" The old lady hurriedly urged: "Old man! Where is the red egg!"
"Here you come, don't worry." The old man with a hideous scar on his face came over with seven or eight red eggs, and gave them to Jiang Hexi and others one by one, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang for a long time, long time, Miss Jiang
I haven't come back, so I'll have fun eating a red egg."
"Thank you, Mr. Cao, will you rest today?" Jiang Hexi took it with a smile.
Uncle Cao smiled and said, "Yes, Manager Xie knew that my granddaughter was born, so he gave me a few days off. He said that there was Lao Xu in the winery, so I would have nothing to do if I rest for a few days."
Jiang Hexi nodded with a smile, nodded politely with Cao Min beside him, and walked away with Liang Ran.
"Xi'er, are they all workers in your workshop?" Liang Ran couldn't help asking curiously. Although she knew that Xi'er opened a knitting workshop and winery in Ping'an Village, she didn't know the relationship between the villagers and her
This is so good, just like family.
No wonder she had to come back before leaving.
"Jiao Niang is a female worker in the knitting workshop, Uncle Cao is a gatekeeper in the winery, and Cao Min is a worker in the winery." Jiang Hexi said concisely.
Hearing this, Liang Ran couldn't help but think of the workers she hired in Chunjiang winery, most of the workers recruited were retired soldiers. He felt a trembling heart. He remembered that Cao Min's limping figure had just been a ferocious scar on Mr. Cao's face, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Hexi.
I admire it more and more.
"Xi'er, you saved their family." Liang Ran's gentle voice sounded.
"I'm not that great, don't compliment me." Jiang Hexi said helplessly.
"No, I'm serious." Liang Ran was so serious than ever before.
The two of them walked and stopped and finally arrived at the door of Lizheng's house.
The wife of Li Zheng had already heard the news that Jiang Hexi was back, and hurriedly rushed home to call Li Zheng back from the mountains, and asked the second daughter-in-law to prepare tea.
"Aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?" Jiang Hexi greeted the lady in the door with a smile.
The wife of Li Zheng nodded to Liang Ran calmly and said, "I'm in good health. Miss Jiang is finally back. My boss is waiting for the girl inside."
"I'm sorry, my aunt." Jiang Hexi walked in and saw Li Zheng standing at the door of the house with a smile, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Miss Jiang is back, please come in quickly." Li Zheng nodded politely to the two of them.
"Uncle Li Zheng, this time I came back mainly to deal with the workshop. To be honest, I will move out in a few days and may not have a chance to come back in the future, so I want to explain everything."
Jiang Hexi nodded politely to the second daughter-in-law who was pouring tea and took a sip of tea.
Li Zheng sighed: "Miss Jiang is intent."
"Uncle Li Zheng, the mountain I asked you to help me hire someone to open up before is growing well now. I want to ask you to help me take charge of this mountain. In the future, the fruits produced on the mountain will be supplied to the winery in the village." Jiang Hexi took out a
He handed the paper to Li Zheng, "This is a contract I have made. Uncle Li Zheng will take a look first."
"Actually, the winery and knitting workshops have been stable now, and I don't need to add more control. But I haven't found a custodian for the crops such as peppers planted in Guoshan and the village. Before, I asked the restaurant people to come to the village to collect them directly.
Chili, but now I am no longer in Jingzhou, so things will be difficult to predict in the future.”
"So I want Uncle Li Zheng to help me take charge of Guoshan and Chili, so that I can leave with peace of mind." Jiang Hexi looked at the people with a smile.
The wife of Li Zheng and the second daughter-in-law both looked happy and looked at Li Zheng expectantly, hoping to help him agree.
Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, excited but a little nervous. In fact, she knew that Jiang Hexi said this was just a remark. Chunjiang Restaurant had so many people, so there was no shortage of a buyer. It was probably Jiang Hexi was taking care of their family, but
Thinking of his son who had just passed the imperial examination, he gritted his teeth and said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Jiang. I will definitely take care of these for you. I have signed this contract."
"That's great." Jiang Hexi looked at everyone with a smile. The reason why she was asking the house for help to do these things that didn't seem to require any manpower was just to better control the winery and restaurants.
The raw materials, not to mention that if they were in charge of these matters, the villagers would definitely not be dissatisfied, and Ping'an Village would be more secure in the future.
"By the way, this is my gift to Brother Li. Congratulations to him for being admitted to the juren. Please don't refuse, so that I can share my joy with Brother Li's joy." Jiang Hexi took a wooden man from Rongyue.
When the box was seen, Li Zheng was about to refuse, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Li Zheng, you don't have to be polite. There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Now that Li's second brother has passed the imperial examination, he will definitely go to Beijing to participate in the next year's examination.
Things can also come in handy. I have known uncle for many years. Could it be that uncle refuses to accept this?"
The lady Li Zheng glanced at the embarrassed Li Zheng, and simply walked up to him, took the box in Jiang Hexi's hand, and smiled and said, "I've accepted it for Erlang. Thank you Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, don't pay attention to this old man.
,He was scared. A few days ago, the rich man from the county town suddenly came over and said he wanted to sponsor Erlang to go to Beijing for the exam. The scene was so nice. Before the old man could be happy, he heard that the rich man wanted to let him go.
Erlang divorces his wife and marrys him again!”
"This made the old man very angry. He was so angry that he had been at home for several days. Fortunately, I drove all the rich people out with a big broom. Otherwise, Erlang would not know how to get angry when he came back."
The wife laughed at Lin Zheng teasingly.
"Auntie is so awesome." Jiang Hexi glanced at the straightforward lady Li Zheng's face, and when he saw that Li Zheng's red face was a little funny.
The second daughter-in-law on the side also felt glad that she had survived the disaster. If her mother-in-law hadn't reacted in time, she might not know where she was now. However, the Li family was not the one who was waiting to be in a state of incest, otherwise she would not have refused.
The demands of wealthy families.
Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a smile on her face, Jiang Hexi's eyebrows moved slightly, and suddenly understood why Li Zheng agreed to this matter. She had already thought of many words to persuade him, but she didn't expect Li Zheng to agree quickly.
It seems that Li Erlang's incident of going to Beijing to take the exam has left a psychological shadow on the inside. He wants to save more money so that he will not be restrained in the future.
Seeing this family's slanderous and charming style, Liang Ran nodded secretly. If Li Erlang was a good person, their family could support him.
Not to mention the snobbishness of Zhennan Hou Mansion, Li Erlang only helped him after he got the exam. With their family members, why bother to recruit a poor Jinshi? It’s just for Jiang Hexi’s sake, helping someone who is familiar with him.
Forget it, this is a common phenomenon in the officialdom and it is not so harsh.
"When will Brother Li go to Beijing to take the exam?" Jiang Hexi asked.
Li Zheng said, "I will go in a few days. Erlang has made an appointment with his classmates. Everyone will go to Beijing together, so he can have a companion. Today he went to the academy and talked to his master."
"Now the inn in Beijing is full of juren who are going to Beijing to take the exam. If Brother Li doesn't dislike me, I will send someone to Chen Gui later and ask him to receive Brother Li, so that he won't be able to avoid the time being.
It's convenient." Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "I'll leave the address of the capital later. Then Brother Li can go there to find someone. Fortunately, Chen Gui also recognizes Brother Li, so it's no trouble."
"This relationship is good, thank you Miss Jiang." Li was just asking for it, so he naturally agreed with a smile.
"There are still some things in the workshop, so I'll go back first. If Uncle Li Zheng has something to do, come to me." Jiang Hexi stood up and said goodbye.
"Miss Jiang walks slowly, I'll give you a look."
Several people slowly left Li Zheng's house again.
Several farmers were standing on the flat fields, bent down to weed, and several old men sat under the big tree to chat with the cool and happy smiles on their faces, and the distant mountains were covered with golden fruit trees.
It is extremely tempting, everything is quiet and peaceful.
Liang Ran couldn't help but feel a little envious. She grew up in Qingzhou since she was a child. Most of the things she saw were poor fishermen and brutal Japanese pirates. They kept wars every year, and it was not until recent years that they improved a little. Qingzhou is no longer so deserted and barren.
Originally, she thought that it was far away from the border, and even close to the Northern Di and the Western Regions Jingzhou must be more difficult than Qingzhou. However, although the people here are not rich, they are much more tenacious than the people in the capital, just like the people in Qingzhou.
, After the storm, it will eventually be as gorgeous as a rainbow.
In addition, Dasheng has promoted crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes in the past two years. Jingzhou is naturally the first to respond to the call of the court and plant a large number of sweet potatoes. Today, Jingzhou is already in full swing, and may be able to get rid of it soon.
The tragic post-war image of not covering one's body and not filling one's stomach.
Ping'an Village is an exception in this generally poor Jingzhou. Liang Ran can say with certainty that Ping'an Village is not much worse than ordinary people in the capital, but it is just a geographical difference.
Her strong figure and bright smile were something she had never seen before in many places.
All of this was brought by the woman beside her.
When Liang Ran thought of this, she couldn't help but look at the woman who was smiling beside her. Sometimes she would find it strange, why did she always come up with different ideas even though she looked like an ordinary girl?
"Cousin, let's go to the knitting workshop. Didn't you say you really want to go and have a look?" Jiang Hexi looked at Liang Ran with a smile, but found that her eyes were a little dull, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused and shook in front of her.
