His tone made Chen Dongzhi unhappy. "If you want it, go to Nanzhou and buy seedlings! Why do you always stretch out your hands and wait for others to deliver things to you?"
Ding Renhua has gotten used to his sour face in the past few months. The speed of his transformation from being hostile in the beginning to accepting it now is astonishing.
Sometimes Zhong Ruyi felt that if Chen Dongzhi was a girl, perhaps these two could become a pair of happy enemies.
She still remembered that when she told Chen Dongzhi about this wild idea, she was met with great resistance, "Don't put me and him together, I feel uncomfortable when you say that."
Zhong Ruyi quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't talk about this anymore."
It was obvious that Chen Dongzhi had also thought about this, and the expression on his face twisted uncontrollably.
Ding Renhua didn't understand, so he asked again, "Can't I buy it with my own money? Didn't you say I can't get it for free? Can't I buy it with my own money?"
Chen Dongzhi said nothing and ignored everyone, just turned around and left.
"Okay, I'll dig one for you when the time comes." Zhong Ruyi agreed, and then hurried to comfort Chen Dongzhi who was feeling upset.
Anyway, there are two trees planted in the yard, so it’s okay to dig one up and give it to him.
After the two men left, Ding Renhua felt bored staying in the yard, so he stretched, patted his butt and left.
This time he was also responsible for bringing back four agricultural officials, especially Mr. Huang, who had figured out a way to fertilize the fields. Although it has not been promoted yet, it has been confirmed that this method is useful.
He has been rewarded by his superiors, but of course he will have to wait until he returns to talk about this.
As for Yu Wei and the others, it is just like they are here to do farm work and exercise their bodies. Lord Huang, who has made real contributions, will definitely be treated differently from them when he returns.
In mid-June, Ding Renhua finally decided to go back with the convoy. Before that, he was the only one who stayed behind to serve, but the convoy took the goods and left first.
"I may not come next year." Ding Renhua said to everyone at the banquet.
Sitting at the table were Mr. Fang, Boss Wang, Shopkeeper Ding and others, as well as Zhong Ruyi, Chen Dongzhi and Zhao Ganwei.
"These two years have only been to see if the food to be sent to the nobleman's mouth meets the requirements. I hope you can grow such good melons every year, not inferior to those from foreign countries."
Now that he has seen it, he doesn't want to travel so far every year. He still prefers to stay peacefully in his big house in the capital.
The person who was most happy about his departure was Chen Dongzhi. The man who always had a stern face now had a smile on his face.
He also drank the toast from Ding Renhua.
On the day of their departure, the villagers saw the agricultural officials off for several miles, with expressions of reluctance on their faces.
"Master Huang, when will you come again?"
"Yes, we have been together for such a long time, and now you are leaving all of a sudden. I really don't want to let you go!"
Several agricultural officials looked at the simple faces of the villagers following the carriage, and their hearts were filled with reluctance.
But they came here on orders and will have to go back sooner or later. The reason I can get along so well with them is because everyone is warm and kind, so I am really filled with emotion at this moment.
Who would have thought that they were still so nervous when they came here, thinking that this should be their punishment.
But I didn’t expect this trip to be so fruitful.
Now I feel a little reluctant to go back to that cage-like place, but all good things must come to an end, and it is a great fate that we could meet each other.
They watched the carriage go away with tears in their eyes, and a few sentimental villagers started wiping away tears halfway through the journey.
"Okay, okay, let's do what we should do! If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again. Meeting is fate! Let's go back quickly!" Zhao Ganwei said loudly.
The villagers were walking in groups of three or four. Chen Dongzhi handed a handkerchief to his wife, knowing that she was reluctant to part with Yu Wei and was feeling a little sad at the moment.
He whispered, "If you miss Lady Yu, we can go to the capital to see her."
Zhong Ruyi held back, feeling touched, amused and helpless. This was ancient times, not like the modern times with well-developed transportation where one could reach anywhere they wanted with just a high-speed rail ticket or a plane ticket.
But his words did make her feel better. Xinghua Village was her home, and if she wanted to go out, she had to be able to let go of the things she was doing.
Life is a constant reunion and separation. It is a great fortune to meet each other by chance.
She shook her head gently and said softly, "The capital is too far away. I would like to go to Nanzhou to have a look."
Chen Dongzhi quietly took her hand and said, "Let's go to Nanzhou. If you want to go to the capital, I will go with you. It just so happens that I have never seen snow. Didn't Ding Renhua say that it would snow in the capital?"
"I've never seen snow before. Is it really that cold when it snows?"
...
There were many pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages coming and going on the road. There were also villagers from other villages pulling carts with watermelons they grew themselves on them, ready to be taken to other places for sale.
Zhong Ruyi squinted her eyes and watched all this, and suddenly felt very satisfied.
Her family and loved ones are around her, and the money she earns is enough for her to spend until old age. Compared to her previous life when she worked diligently and was always thinking about how to do more part-time jobs to earn more money while in school, the leisurely life in this life is indeed hard-earned.
Although she was sent to the wrong channel at the beginning and suffered a little bit because of being sent to the modern era, but if the previous suffering was for the sweetness now, she thought she was indeed willing to do it, because she was still very lucky compared to most people.
She held the man's hand and suddenly laughed, thinking that she must have been too busy during this period of time, otherwise how could she have so many ideas.
Although he didn't know what she was laughing at, Chen Dongzhi could somehow feel that her mood should be much better than before, so he also smiled.
"Go pick a blueberry tree tomorrow and take it home. When the snow and the harvest arrive, you can pick and eat them yourself."
"it is good."
"Also, Xiao Huang dug a hole in the courtyard wall. We need to patch it up or else rats will get in."
"Okay, let's go back and make up for it now."
The two of them walked slowly hand in hand, and the villagers who followed them in twos and threes were also talking to each other.
By the time I got home, most of the sadness I had just felt had dissipated. The yard was still filled with unused pots, pans, and several pieces of cloth that Yu Wei had sent me.
"We can't use this cloth, why don't we give it to mom and the others?" Zhong Ruyi asked while holding the cloth. She had been here for several years but had never learned how to sew. Her eyes were almost blind, and the things she embroidered were as crooked as a fighting centipede.
"Okay, you decide." Chen Dongzhi didn't even turn his head and picked up a small iron pot to look at it. "We can use this for hot pot in the future. This way we don't have to use a big pot. A small pot is more convenient."
He picked and chose the things that were sent to him, giving some to more useful people and keeping some for his own use.
Zhong Ruyi fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow at night. When she woke up in the morning, there was a smile on her face. She had a good dream last night.
