Chapter 178 What The Three Aunts Said

The lunch was the same as the one on the construction site. It was steamed buns, egg pancakes, and fragrant big bone soup, as well as some fried sauce left over from the morning.

Qin Feng and Su Ziji refused to dine with the Lian family. They meant that the rules should not be broken. "Even if the girl is kind and kind, the family's property will definitely be purchased in the future, and there will be more and more servants. If If the rules are broken from us, what will the girl do in the future!"

When Lian Fangzhou thought about this, he smiled and said, "I'm confused! You guys can still eat in the kitchen! There's no need to say anything when we're done eating!"

Qin Feng and Su Ziji agreed.

After lunch, they took a short rest. Except for the third aunt and the twins, Lian Fangzhou and five people went to dig a wild water plantain that they had been optimistic about earlier.

Water plantains are watery, and the place where they grow is very humid, making it easy to dig.

Five people dug about 60 trees in just one hour.

Cut off the excess leaves, leaving only a bare pole that is more than half a person high. The chopped banana leaves were placed in the bamboo basket, and the water plantain was carefully loaded onto the donkey cart, so as not to soil the cart.

The sixty or so water plantains are to be planted at the water source at the Sanchakou.

Although the springs at the source are large and active, and in addition to this source, which has two springs, there is a gully that flows through the land from elsewhere. It can be said that the water source is quite sufficient.

But Lian Fangzhou still felt that it was better to have more. Protect the water source well, and the crops will grow better! After all, this piece of land is more than 1,500 acres!

There is also Shishiping, she also plans to plant a water plantain. Today is too late. She will go there tomorrow morning, and come back in the afternoon to settle the accounts with Gu Shi and others. The day after tomorrow, she can burn the plant ashes and move the pond mud to the breeding ground.

Two more adults, and adults who are very familiar with farm work, can work much faster than before. The sun has just turned west, and the water plantains are all planted.

Seeing that everything was fine, Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Let's go back early today! There are still seven or eight days to go, so I'm still busy these days!"

Several people nodded in agreement.

Back home, the third aunt was a little surprised at first, and then she said with a smile: "It's a lot faster to work with two more people! To say this Cui Gongzi is enough!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said to Qin Feng and Su Ziji, "Wash your hands and face, then go into the room to rest!"

Grandma San Gu suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you Fangzhou about something else!" As she spoke, she pulled Lian Fangzhou aside and lowered her voice mysteriously, "This morning What is the name of the servant next to Cui Gongzi, Cui Yi told me that their son was coaxed by your uncle to the house last time, and asked me if your uncle brought half of the gifts they brought over, I heard it. I was so angry, of course I said no! Don't say half of it, I didn't see any shadows! Cui Yi was also angry after hearing this, so he went out to your uncle and said that he would definitely bring the things, but I I've been waiting here for a long time, why haven't I come..."

The third aunt's expression was eager to try, and she said: "We have a lot of people now, but we are not afraid of them! Do you want to go to their house and ask..."

Judging by the look on the third aunt's grandmother's face, of course, asking is more than just asking.

It seemed that she, like her own siblings, was heartbroken by the so-called "eldest uncle" and "eldest aunt", and she had long lost the slightest respect when she spoke.

It's not surprising that even Fangzhou is not surprised that the uncle and his wife were hiding gifts from the third aunt. How could Cui Shaoxi come empty-handed when he came to the door? And how could the things that the couple got in their hands take the initiative to vomit out?

Even when there is vomiting, it is an investment, a kind of investment that thinks about harvesting more in the future.

However, it was quite unexpected that Cui Yi would say this to the third aunt in private, and then went to the eldest uncle Lian Fangzhou for this matter.

She thought for a while, Cui Shaoxi would definitely not care about such trivial matters, it was mostly Cui Yi's juvenile temperament, and she felt that it was possible to run away to theories if she was angry.

However, Lian Fangzhou's eyes flickered, Cui Yi was very smart, and because he was favored by his master, he was the most troublesome and bullying. Does my uncle dare to do one thing in person and another behind the scenes? Isn't he afraid of offending the Cui family? It doesn't look like his flexible temperament!

"Why don't you ask Qin Feng and Su Ziji to go together? It's more convenient if there are more people!" Grandma Sangu asked again.

"Don't go!" Lian Fangzhou smiled lightly and said, "Since Cui Yi said that, why don't we wait? Besides, if the eldest uncle still doesn't come, that's fine!"

"Forget it?" The third aunt was distressed and unjust: "Why forget it? Fangzhou, although our life is much better than before, we can't waste things like this! I have heard Cui Yi say, Those are all good things! They must have eaten up the dim sum long ago, how can they not want other things? It's time to make new clothes at the end of the year! Isn't it good to have a few more good materials!"

"Third auntie," Lian Fangzhou said, "now we are in the limelight, and I don't know how many people are secretly jealous. I wish that something happened to our family, they would talk about it! No matter how clearly our family and the uncle's family are separated, they will still Taking the status of an elder! It would be better if my parents were here, but if my parents weren’t there, someone really made a fuss about it, and we couldn’t even tell the difference ourselves! It’s just a little bit left and right. Bar!"

"So it's so cheap for them?" The third aunt was still a little unwilling.

Lian Fangzhou smiled: "It's not our thing anyway, and we can't say the word 'suffering', so let's forget it!"

"Never mind!" The third aunt nodded and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, then they are cheap! Humph!"

Having said that, the third aunt has made up her mind. When Cui Gongzi and Cui Yi come, she will definitely mention this to Cui Yi again, so that the greedy couple can't eat and go!

When this matter was stopped for a while, Lian Fangzhou entered the house.

Just in time, Lian Fangzhou chatted with Qin Feng and Su Ziji. At first, the two of them didn't dare to sit down, but Lian Fangzhou said it several times before sitting down.

After a few words, Qin Feng and the two also let go of their restraints. Lian Fangzhou can answer questions easily, and occasionally he can take the initiative to say a few words.

Lian Fangzhou learned that Su Ziji was very skillful. He improved and invented several useful agricultural tools in the past. One year, he followed Shangfeng to the Yellow River to inspect the farmland. He also invented a giant waterwheel for irrigation in Kaifeng, Henan. Benefit local farmers. I visited the south of the Yangtze River and improved the local spinning wheel in Nanxun area, which greatly improved the efficiency...

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and secretly had an idea.
