The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 223 224 Mrs. Qin's counterattack, busy farming

The old woman looked at her contemptuously and said, "We are the dowry of the madam, and we are in the hands of the madam. Besides, you are just a cheap concubine, and the madam has ordered; except for her and the two young ladies, Other people want to buy food and use money to buy it! And the clothes in your house, you can wash them yourself, we will no longer wash them for you."

   Aunt Yang shouted angrily: "It's the other way around, it's the other way around, I'm going to find the master." Auntie Yang angrily went out and walked towards the yamen.

   Mrs. Qin threw everything away, took her two daughters and her mother-in-law, and drove to a hillside outside Beicheng. Sitting on the grass, Aunt Qin looked at the two young ladies who were happily flying kites, and Mrs. Qin who no longer frowned, and said happily, "Madam, we should have gone out for a long time, look how happy the two young ladies are. what!"

Mrs. Qin looked at her two daughters who were happily chasing the kite, and sighed: "Yes! I used to restrain them too tightly and restrained them too much. Now that I think about it, the girl's house can only be used when she is at home. After a few years of relaxation, it's a bit of a distraction after getting married."

Aunt Qin remembered what Yu Xianwei said last night: "That's not necessarily true! Last night, when the master came back, he said there, Lord Zhou next door didn't even want the beautiful girl from the Liu family, and kept saying that he was also supported by his wife. , I can't afford to raise Maggie! The lord even depends on your dowry to support his concubine. Why have I never heard him mention it in front of outsiders? It can be seen that he is still a man who knows what's wrong. In my opinion, those rich businessmen are the least things, and they like it Sending a woman to someone else, Aunt Yang was also brought back by the old master, who was contaminated with those wealthy businessmen who went to the private dormitory in Qingzhou!"

"Alas!" Mrs. Qin sighed, "How many men are there in Dayong like Master Zhou? Even those farmers who make a lot of money think about the good wives and concubines enjoying the life of the Qi people. Blessed!"

   Aunt Qin thought about it and said, "That's true."

When Aunt Yang arrived at the county office, the officer told her that the county magistrate had taken people to patrol the streets. She went home with a dark face and paid for the mother-in-law to cook a meal for her mother and son, and washed her clothes. Low, seeing that Concubine Yang couldn't find the master, she was scornful enough to look on her face. Yu Yan went back to the house and cried to Aunt Yang, "Auntie, she is the master of this family, why do you treat us like this?"

   "Yan'er doesn't cry, her eyes are swollen, she's not beautiful!" Aunt Yang coaxed her daughter softly, her face showing a ruthless look: Qin Shi, how dare you treat me like this, don't blame me for being ruthless!

   Zhou Jia asked Mr. Wen, and after hearing a satisfactory answer, he happily went to the yamen office. Taking the drawings, Li Yu went to the blacksmith shop to order a few threshing machines, and then went to the carpenter shop to order a few wind grain machines. , the corn has grown a lot taller, and the fields have become green.

  The Tian family is less free in the month, and the people are very busy in May. In the first half of May, the fields are already golden, and the yellow wheat ears are swaying in the wind. It is the harvest season of winter wheat. The blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop sent the threshing machine and the wind grain machine to Zhuangzi, and Ruyi taught the long-term workers to use the threshing machine on the Zhuangzi.

Before it was very bright, everyone went down to the wheat field, waving their sickles, and quickly mowed the wheat. The women behind them stacked the straws together, tied them with straw ropes, and carried them to the carriage. Yang Wei He and Ruyi drove the carriage back and forth, pulling the wheat back to the drying field in the village.

The long-term workers who stayed in the village stepped on the threshing machine, held the wheat bundles in both hands, and put them on the rotating sawtooth wheel to rotate at a constant speed. At first, they were a little chaotic, but after a while, they became more comfortable. Turning one by one, it fell off, hitting the fence like raindrops, making a sound.

  After the bucket was full, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang planed the grains from behind the fence of the threshing machine into a bucket. After they were poured into the wind mill to be cleaned, Li Xia and Yuniang spread the grains out for drying.

  Li Xia looked at the wheat in the drying yard and said to Yu Niang: "Aunt Yu, Madam came back with so much wheat, we can't finish it all in a lifetime."

   Yuniang pushed the wooden rake and pushed aside the golden wheat grains with a look of joy: "Silly girl! After eating for so long, bugs have grown long!"

  Li Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "Even looking at it makes me happy."

  The Lin family in Houshan Village, along with a dozen other families who grow winter wheat, looked at the golden ears of wheat in the field, and were busy harvesting wheat with their mouths wide open.

The villagers in the village stood on the field ridges and watched them busy in the wheat fields with smiles on their faces. They secretly made up their minds to learn to grow winter wheat after the autumn. Children can also eat well.

  Tiangong is beautiful, and after half a month of sunny days, everyone was busy finally taking the wheat back home, the women were busy cleaning the dried wheat grains again, and the men were busy ploughing the fields and leveling the seedlings to prepare for planting.

The seedlings in Li Yu's family's seedlings are sturdy, with many white roots and green leaves. Nearby villagers gathered around the seedlings and complimented the seedlings of Li Yu's family. They all asked where they bought the rice seeds. When they brought it from Tongzhou, they all sighed in disappointment. Li Yu smiled and said to them, "You don't have to sigh. When this season's rice is harvested, you can come to my village to buy rice seeds."

  The villagers heard from Li Yu that they would sell rice seeds to them, but they were worried that the price of rice seeds would be too expensive to buy. A villager tried to ask, "Mrs. county magistrate, how much is your family's rice seeds per pound?"

Li Yu said with a warm smile: "Don't worry, it's not a few cents more expensive than ordinary rice seeds. You can also use ordinary rice to exchange rice seeds at my house, but you have to do some statistics first. I can buy a few pounds and try it at home.”

   "Thank you, Madam." The villagers left in relief after thanking them. Li Yu taught Yang Wei to instruct the chief workers to plant wild rice and domestic rice at a distance. After Yang Wei learned it, he handed over the remaining seedling fields to him to manage.

   After half a month, the wheat was all dried, and the seedlings were all planted. Three or four hundred stones of wheat were harvested from more than 100 acres of wheat, and Li Yu finally calmed down.

The county school built by the county government accelerated after the money was in place. Li Yu set aside part of the wasteland near the official road and began to build an inn and shop. Ruyi set off to Qingzhou to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and returned to store the shop. sold in.

At the end of May, before the completion of the county school, Xu Chun, with the help of the shopkeeper Chu Jiang, found two poor scholars in Qingzhou area, one surnamed Shao Mingqingyuan, one surnamed Song Mingbo, two Xiu Ting The shopkeeper Chu said that he went to Qingchuan County to study and teach, and the yamen also repaired the house.
