The commune started working, and Xingsheng Trading Company opened its doors for business again. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Zhang San was also at ease again.
On this day, the sun was making me lazy. Zhang San was lying on a wicker chair in the yard and taking a nap. In one month, it will be the day that Zhang San will marry Fang Keying. Sister-in-law Li and the others are preparing the wedding cake.
thing.
…
In a village in Lantian County, Xie Huaer leaned her head on her head and stared blankly at the hens walking around outside the window. The figure of that person often appeared in her mind.
"Hua'er, are you thinking about your lover again?" A white-haired old man walked in. Seeing Xie Hua'er's distracted look, he said teasingly.
Xie Hua'er withdrew her gaze, glanced at the old man sadly, and said angrily: "How can I have a lover? He just ignores me. Besides, that man is going to get married to the daughter of the house next month."
"Haha, you gave away all the beet seeds that you worked so hard to cultivate as a master. Are they of no use at all?" This old man turned out to be Xie Hua'er's master and the current helmsman of the farm, Xie Yun.
"He also said, it's not all because of you, but I have to go to Pingkangfang, otherwise why would that person dislike me so much?" Xie Hua'er replied with a pouted mouth.
"Hey! That's it! But I remember that I just asked you to go to Chang'an to inquire about the situation of potatoes, right?" Xie Yun pretended to understand.
"Hmph! I don't care, it's all up to you. If you had known that those potatoes came from Zhang Sansan, you still asked me to go to Chang'an. It's totally unnecessary."
"You! Your playful temperament has never changed." Xie Yun shook his head and said helplessly.
"Master, do you think he is a man? I am so good-looking, but he doesn't even look at me. His two little maids are not as good-looking as me." Xie Hua'er thought of how Zhang San seemed to be guarding against thieves.
I was so angry that my liver ached for a while when I was trying to defend myself.
"I can't explain this kind of thing to you. After all, I have been attached to the fields all my life and I don't know anything about these emotions."
Xie Yun also picked up Xie Hua'er when he was working in the farmland. At that time, Xie Hua'er was abandoned in the grass on the roadside, but the little person cried very loudly.
"What a bad old man, huh!" Xie Hua'er lay on the table and was not ready to talk to her master.
"Okay, let's get down to business. It is said that the potatoes were planted in February and March. We can't get them in the palace. The only place that has potatoes now is Zhang County's uncle's house, so you need to go there again."
When Xie Hua'er heard what Xie Yun said, she jumped up and said angrily: "I won't go, you have to go by yourself."
"Don't make trouble. Master has other things to do. These potatoes are very important to our farmers. We must get them." Xie Yun became rarely serious.
Xie Hua'er saw that the master's tone seemed to be very serious, and she did not dare to talk back. She also understood in her heart that the farmer's family was in a difficult situation at this time, and the three religions and nine schools could hardly be counted.
The influence of the people is also decreasing day by day. Now there is only an empty shell of the farm family. In addition to myself and the master, there are more than a dozen people who can be regarded as the heirs of the farm family.
"But Zhang San has been guarding me, how can I get the potatoes?" Xie Hua'er actually wanted to go to Zhang San, but she felt that she had lost face and ran away in anger. How could she go back now?
It doesn't make people look down upon, and it also makes it more difficult to integrate into the Zhang family.
"Didn't you leave the beet seeds before you left and made your original intention clear? I think that Zhang San won't embarrass you when he sees you again. As the daughter of a family, as long as you act shamelessly and don't leave, I think that Zhang San will
As a person, I shouldn't kick you out again." Xie Yun analyzed.
"Why don't we wait until they plant the potatoes in the ground before we try to find a way to get them?" Xie Hua'er felt that Xie Yun was simply deceiving herself.
"Getting potatoes is just one of them. The purpose of becoming a teacher is to make Zhang San worship me as his teacher, or..." Xie Yun didn't say the rest of the words, but Xie Hua'er read Xie Yun's eyes, and it was clear that he wanted her
Marry that Zhang San.
"Smelly master, you are selling your apprenticeship!" Xie Huaer complained with a pouted mouth.
"Why is this called selling apprentices? I never thought about it that way, but don't you like them yourself? Our farm family lacks an opportunity to make a name for itself. If General Zhang says that he is a descendant of the farm family or a member of the farm family,
Then the huge contribution of potatoes can fall on our farmers, and this is what we need."
Xie Yun explained the truth to Xie Hua'er.
"Okay! I'll try again." Xie Hua'er also understands the master. This old man holds the title of the helmsman of a farm. He has been thinking about how to carry forward the farm all his life. Now it is right in front of him. Xie Yun naturally wants to
Get a grip.
"Let's do this. I will also write a letter and give it to you to explain our purpose of coming." Xie Yun thought for a while and said to Xie Hua'er again.
At the same time, Xie Yun also handed Xie Hua'er a token, with the statue of Shennong engraved on the front and "ample food and clothing" written on the back.
"This is our farmer's identity certificate. Remember not to act willfully this time, and try your best to persuade Zhang San to join our farmer." Xie Yun warned again.
"I know, master, I will stay with them this time." Xie Hua'er played with the token in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Master is going to Jiangnan tomorrow, please pay attention to safety here."
"Leaving tomorrow? So urgent?"
Xie Hua'er heard that her master was leaving again tomorrow, and felt very sad. She had grown up under the care of her master since she was a child. Xie Yun was like a father to Xie Hua'er.
"Spring is coming soon. There are several villages over there that contain my latest research. I need to go there in advance to avoid problems along the way." Xie Yun replied.
"The rice you mentioned can really be grown for three seasons?"
"There is no telling whether the seeds I found from the South China Sea will be successful, but I think they won't disappoint me."
I am not planning to come to Chang'an.
"Then be careful on the road. After you leave tomorrow, I will go to Zhangjia Village to find that heartless man." Xie Hua'er felt an unknown karma when she mentioned Zhang San.
"You!" Xie Yun shook his head and sighed, then left the room and walked out.
…
Zhang San was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun when he suddenly sneezed.
"Keying missed me?" Zhang San rubbed his nose and said to himself.
"Sir, let me get you a blanket to cover you, so you don't get cold." Aunt Li heard Zhang San sneezing and hurriedly came closer and said with concern.
"No need, Mrs. Li, I'm going to go for a walk. My bones have become soft after lying down for too long." Zhang San stood up and said, feeling soft all over, he was ready to go out for a walk.
"Xiaoyu is not at home, alas! It's so lonely!" Zhang San sighed.
"Third brother, what did you say?" The little girl came out of nowhere and startled Zhang San as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I told you to go for a walk, didn't you go to the commune? Why are you back at this time?" Zhang San quickly changed the subject and asked.
"There's nothing going on at the commune for the time being, so I'll be back first. I seem to have heard Third Brother calling Sister Xiaoyu's name just now?" The little girl looked at Zhang San, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, which made Zhang San's old face turn red.
"You must have heard wrong. Third brother, I need to go out for some exercise. You can play at home by yourself!" After Zhang San said this, he quickly walked out.
"Tch, I have a lustful heart but no lustful courage. I am obviously thinking about Sister Xiaoyu." The little girl muttered a few words and did not ask further questions.
