Chapter 157: Seeking Help

e said, "I came to see you as soon as I entered. Uncle Three, I brought you some glutinous rice cakes and some delicious snacks.""Third Uncle is the best!" Jia Yin kicked her little feet, laughing wit...The village chief was both happy and worried. He helped Zhao Shu, who was still a little unsteady on his feet, at the entrance of the mountain path and loudly called out to the crowd, "Be careful everyone, lift the saplings carefully and don't damage their bark." 。"This sapling is quite precious, the bark will take a long time to heal if it's broken. 。" That's what Dazhu said about you. He said to carry fewer trees at a time. Do you think you're Lao Si" "Remember to dig the tree pits bigger and deeper, don't be lazy." 。Mrs. Cui grew up in this area since she was a child, so she knew quite a bit about fruit trees. 。At this moment, she brought Jia Yin forward and said to the village head and several old gentlemen, 。"Village Chief Uncle, are these fruit tree saplings that the General sent They look really good, and they're already two years old." 。Jia Yin heard this, secretly tightening her heart, afraid of being exposed. She quickly pointed to the top of the mountain and shouted, "Auntie Shi, go play, go play!"Mrs. Cui quickly patted her and gently persuaded, "Funiang, be good. The mountains are busy right now, let's not go up. Auntie will bring you some snacks in a while." 。Jia Yin then hugged her neck silently. This interruption indeed worked, as the village head arrived with a face full of worry and replied, 。"Mrs. Cui, you haven't come over yet, I, this old man, was also going to go find you and have a word." 。" Uncle, is there something you need my help with Just tell me. " 。Mrs. Cui's quick agreement, the village is so busy, she plans to move around often in the future, and even wants to build a house next to Li's family. 。At this time, she also particularly wanted to help, but couldn't find a way to get involved. 。Speaking of which, she loved reading from a young age. Her father supported her in this. While ordinary women were good at managing household affairs, she found it tedious and wasn't skilled at it either. 。These things, just from her marrying into the Hou Mansion and not even personally managing her dowry, one can tell. 。Now, the family estate and assets have all been retrieved. It was Liu's elder brother who helped to straighten things out and then gave them back to Qiong's wife, who once again became a hands-off manager...The village head found a large stone in a sunny spot and asked Mrs. Cui to sit down. 。"Madam Cui, we've come from the north. Let us plant some sorghum, that shouldn't be a problem." 。But now with so many fruit saplings to plant, I'm really uneasy. 。I've eaten fruit before, but I've never seen anyone plant wild fruit from the mountains. 。Does Mrs. Cui know anyone who could help us find an orchard farmer We are willing to pay a high wage, as long as the person is reliable and skilled. 。" That's nothing difficult, Madam Cui nodded immediately. "Don't worry, Uncle, I'll be leaving soon too, and I'll send someone suitable from the village right away." 。" Our village is truly blessed. Just picking two people randomly from the forest, they are both distinguished guests. " 。You and Mr. Wen have really helped us out so much. 。"Uncle, we've been through thick and thin together. We don't need to say such polite things." 。After I built a house in the village, I will still come and go often. You are being so polite, treating me like an outsider. 。Mrs. Cui laughed and stood up, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Uncle, shouldn't we plant grain under the fruit trees Millet probably won't work, should we plant rice instead I can also bring some good seeds to the village.""That would be great! We were thinking of going to a nearby village to find someone to exchange with." 。"

Zhao Shu and the other old gentlemen all listened with bright eyes, eagerly responding, "Family is always more reliable than outsiders. These villagers seem to be taking advantage of us, we really don't dare to deal with them." 。Mrs. Cui nodded, took Jia Yin back and told Old Madam Li that she was going back to the city. 。Jia Yin, on a whim, playfully grabbed Cui Fu's neck and wouldn't let go. 。Mrs. Cui then discussed with her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, I'll take Funiu for a trip. It's not far, and we'll be back this afternoon." 。“ Grandma Li tapped her granddaughter’s forehead, but didn't stop her. 。“Go on, don't underestimate Fu Niu just because she's small. She knows everything and is very clever.” 。"If she throws a tantrum, just scold her. Don't be fooled by her, understand" Mrs. Cui couldn't help but chuckle, "Understood, aunt-in-law. Let's go quickly and come back quickly." 。"

Qiong's carriage was ready, but as she got in, Dongmei jumped onto the other side of the carriage shaft. Seeing Qiong looking over, she said, "Our master ordered me to always take care of Miss Jiayin." 。 When Mrs. Cui heard this in the carriage, she said, "Let's go. One more person to help is a good thing." 。The carriage rattled along, soon leaving the gravel beach and entering the official road. 。Jia Yin was so excited that she jumped for joy. She's small and has short legs, and no one was around to carry or hold her. She wanted to leave the pebble beach but couldn't even take a step. 。At last, she had a chance to go for a walk. Along the way, she almost always leaned against the car window and refused to come down, which made Mrs. Cui laugh and cry. 。Mrs. Cui had two estates she reclaimed, the largest of which was over three hundred acres. 。This was also the village in which there was the most stored grain, and there were also over a hundred tenants. 。For the past few days, Liu Ziheng has been having people here, counting, registering, and making lists, fearing that his unskilled younger sister might be cheated by servants in the future. 。On the other side of the gravel beach, he knew the acquaintance and friendship of his sister. 。So, he was a little surprised to see his sister-in-law come back so quickly. 。“Jinerou, you're back so soon. Is something the matter there” Lady Cui smiled and bowed to Jia Yin, “Brother-in-law, you guessed right. I came back to ask my brother-in-law for help.” 。Liu Zhiheng was curious about what his younger sister needed from him, but he was even more curious about the plump baby in her belly. 。"Sister-in-law, this child is..."Mrs. Cui then said, "This is the granddaughter of the Li family. I like her very much." 。The Li family is busy, I'll help out for a while. 。Liu Zhiheng let out a quiet sigh of relief. He was afraid that his adopted sister might have gotten involved with someone outside the family, and the Hou Mansion would find out and cause another commotion. 。Jiayin was very clever. Knowing she was misunderstood, she hugged Mrs. Cui's neck and called out in a sweet voice, "Auntie, Auntie, I'm hungry..." 。Liu Ziheng's family is all boys, he especially likes soft and cute little girls, let alone Jia Yin who looks so good. 。Not only is she chubby and cute, her big eyes are like plump black grapes, glistening with moisture. Her little mouth is red like a cherry, completely lacking the thin, dark and timid appearance of a farm child. 。"This child is so well-grown, her family must love her very much." 。Liu Zhiheng was about to reach out his hand, but Jia Yin directly hugged his neck, making him laugh with joy. 。"Oh, oh, this little girl is so cute, she's probably not even two years old, and she speaks so clearly!"He kept calling out to the maidservant he had brought from home, "Hurry up and have the kitchen prepare lunch. Make some meat porridge for the child, and also an egg custard. Remember to put less salt!" Mrs. Cui listened with a smile covering her mouth, while Jia Yin called non-stop, coaxing Liu Zhiheng until after he finished his meal, she still wouldn't let go of him. 。When Liu Zhiheng heard that they were looking for a reliable fruit farmer near Shatishi Beach and wanted good seeds, he said, "It's difficult to tell who is trustworthy among the people in your manor right now. After all, they have been under the control of Houfu for too long." 。I'll still have people go back to my family estate to look for someone. 。"That's great, big brother, I have the same idea." 。"Mrs. Cui was delighted, "There are still good seeds available. Brother-in-law, could you also help me find some" 。“ Liu Zhiheng nodded and said, “There are quite a lot of grains stored in your estate. Would you like to transport some to Suishi Beach” Cui's wife pondered for a moment and then replied, "Alright, just bring a thousand jin." 。Too much is not good, I'm afraid the village head and others have other arrangements. 。Besides, I saw in Zhuangzi that there were donkeys. Brother, please ask someone to help me get a cart ready. I want to give it to the Li family. 。Previously, the Li family also had a mule. Unfortunately, it was shot by an arrow and ran away at the dock. 。Jiayin thought of Daqing and subconsciously touched the back of her head. 。That fall was really hard, and even now, she occasionally gets dizzy. 。>king her head. “I’ve become the bad grandmother! Even at home, your second brother, Mr. Wen, Jinrou, even the village chief, every time they see me, they say to let me be less strict with Funiu.”"The...
