Chapter 283 284 Hardworking Villagers

Uncle Gu and the two villagers sat stiffly in the living room, thinking: It’s the prefect’s wife who came to the village to teach everyone how to farm! This life is worth it, and I have become a guest of the prefect's family.

The three people quickly waved their hands and said, "We are not hungry."

"It's not much, just a bowl of noodles." Li Yu looked at Xinghua with a smile, "Xinghua, take some uncles to eat."

Xinghua took the three of them to the dining room in the front yard. Li Yu told Ma Gui, "Hurry up and drive to Sihai Bank to ask if the grain has arrived."

Ma Gui responded and went out. Uncle Gu, Ah Shui and Dashan saw Gu Yu in the dining room. Uncle Gu looked at Gu Yu with some complaints and said, "Why didn't you tell us when you came back last time that your master's family is the prefect?"

Gu Yu pulled Uncle Gu to sit down and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's not that I won't tell you. My wife has told me not to tell you."

Uncle Gu smiled honestly: "Silly girl, listen carefully to Madam's words from now on and don't be naughty."

Gu Yu responded with a smile: "I know."

Li Yu walked into the front hall with Xinghua and saw Uncle Gu Yu, Ah Shui and Dashan sitting on chairs with formal expressions. The big man sat on a corner of the stool. When the three saw Li Yu coming out, they hurriedly stood up. He stood up and knelt on the ground, "The common man pays homage to Madam."

Li Yu stepped forward and said, "Please get up quickly. You don't need to be so polite."

The three of them got up with blushing faces. Uncle Gu Yu pointed to the mushrooms in his basket and said, "Madam, the villagers asked us to bring these to you when we came here. They are fresh mushrooms that taste very good. You can't eat them." Just let it dry and let it sit."

"Thank you, folks. Are you hungry? I asked Gu Yu to cook the noodles. You go eat the noodles first. I'll ask someone to ask if the grain has been planted."

At this time, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu came to the dining room with trays, put the Sanhai bowl of noodles on the table, and said with a smile: "Gu Yu, please invite your uncles to dinner."

Guyu smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Granny Liu, and Aunt Zhang."

Mrs. Liu smiled and patted Gu Yu, "Silly girl, what's there to thank you for?"

Uncle Guyu, Ah Shui, and Dashan saw two fried eggs and meat dumplings lying on the surface, and thought that they had only eaten such white flour meat and eggs last time their wife brought them.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Auntie and Sister-in-law." The three of them blushed and thanked Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang before picking up their bowls and eating.

Uncle Gu and the three of them had a full meal, and Gu Yu took them back to the living room. Li Yu asked the others: "Uncle Gu Yu, how many terraces have you opened?"

When Uncle Gu heard Li Yu ask about the fields that had been opened, his happy face was filled with smiles, "Everyone drove out three hills and diverted the water according to the method taught by my wife. I thought of planting a season of rice first and then waiting for it. All these fields are planted with seedlings, and when the millet is threshed, everyone will have endless food."

Li Yu didn't expect that in a short period of time, they would drive out of three mountains. No wonder the three of them looked dark and thin. Since ancient times, people have bent their backs from stuttering.

"Have you made an estimate? How many acres are the three mountains?"

"We have measured it, and there are probably thousands of acres that can be planted with rice."

Li Yu thought for a while and said: "I bought new rice seeds for twenty-five cents per catty. I will help you put the money you paid for the rice seeds first. After the autumn harvest, you can return the rice to me according to the price, or you can pay me back the money. "

"Thank you madam for your kindness." Several people were overjoyed after hearing this. They stood up and were about to kneel down. Li Yu stopped him and said with a smile: "You don't have to do this. Just go back and live a good life."

At this time, Ma Gui came back and reported to Li Yu: "Madam, the shopkeeper said that the rice seeds just arrived yesterday and they will be sent to the house later."

Li Yu thought for a moment and then ordered: "Okay, you take Uncle Gu's uncle and two fellow villagers to visit our wasteland, call Awei back by the way, and then go to the cart shop to rent some big green mules to help them Pulling rice seeds up the mountain.”

When the three of them saw that Li Yu had even thought of the mules that came up the mountain to plant rice, they were so excited that they couldn't even speak. They bowed to Li Yu excitedly and said, "Thank you, madam."

Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be so polite, follow Ma Gui to visit the wasteland."

"It's madam." Ma Gui led the three of them out.

After Zhou Jia finished her business, she returned to the backyard. Xiaoyu, who was drying corn seeds in the backyard, smiled and said to him, "Master, my wife went to the front yard to pick up the corn seeds."

Zhou Jia looked at the sun-dried corn seeds in the yard and felt that there seemed to be a lot more. He asked doubtfully: "Are these corn seeds we brought last time?"

Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes! I brought it here last time in Qingchuan."

Zhou Jia thought for a moment and nodded, then went to the front yard. When he saw Li Yu looking at new rice seeds, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yu'er, can the villagers in Dafeng Village use so many rice seeds?"

Li Yu smiled when he saw Zhou Jia, "Hey! Before I had time to tell you, shopkeeper Chu sold us a piece of wasteland at the foot of Luoji Mountain outside the West City. Some have been planted. I was worried that there were not enough rice seeds. ! I plan to build a leisure mountain villa in that wasteland, and I also invited Sihai Bank to become a shareholder. Let’s go and see it together later.”

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows, "Oh! Leisure Villa, then I have to take a good look!"

At this time, the guys from Sihai Bank moved all the rice seeds into the warehouse in the front yard. Li Yu asked Guyu to give him the reward, and returned to the main courtyard with Zhou Jia. After returning to the house, Li Yu said to Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, there are two I need to talk to you about something.”

Zhou Jia stepped forward, hugged her and sat on the couch, "Did something happen?"

"Something happened. Miss Wang sent someone halfway..." Li Yu told Zhou Jia what happened.

Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand, looked at her and said, "You are just too soft-hearted. You should let Ruyi throw her and the nurse into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Li Yu leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "I'm still fine. Besides, a delicate lady like her might think that a life of men farming and women weaving is worse than death."

"That's because you have the ability to defend yourself. What if you didn't? Wouldn't it be abducted by the nursing home she sent?" Zhou Jia was once again grateful that Li Yu had good skills. "No wonder today I feel that Wang Qinghai and I There was something different when you first came here, it seems that the Wang family has already suspected you."

Li Yu said nonchalantly: "He doubted me, so he came up with evidence! Also, shopkeeper Chu brought me the information from the investigation, and I will show it to you."

Li Yu stood up and took out the notes from the box and handed them to Zhou Jia. Zhou Jia looked at them and analyzed them to Li Yu: "I guess the Lin family is most likely targeting your mother for marriage. As long as the second child of the Wang family is found out, Whoever made the engagement in the first place will know why Mrs. Lin took action to harm your mother."

Li Yu snuggled into Zhou Jia's arms, "It's okay, sir, it's more important. I can't see anything in Zhuangzi now. It will be the same if I go there in a few days."
