Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Chapter 264 Buying Saplings

There are ten rooms in the workshop, and Lichun and her friends are in the second one.

After giving them the key last time, Lin never came again. But when I saw her today, she found that the house was tidied up.

There is a wooden rack at the door with washed and dried rags on it. There are two pots of flowers next to the door. They are small wild flowers commonly seen at the foot of the mountain. I guess they were directly dug up and planted in the pots. Now they are blooming with pink flowers.

"Aunt Lin, please sit down and have a drink of water first."

Cuicui poured a glass of water familiarly and placed a stool behind Lin, clearly indicating her hospitality.

Lin looked inside and saw a coarse porcelain teapot on the table by the door, with a few matching cups next to it. The teapot was covered with a clean fine cloth.

"I haven't been here for two days. You guys have made the house so cozy."

Not only is it cozy, but the house is also neatly arranged and clean.

Lichun smiled shyly: "The teapot and cups were all bought by Cuicui. We benefited from her."

Cuicui shook her head and said, "That's nothing. We earn money to spend, and we have to work comfortably."

Cuicui could earn three taels of silver a day and had become a wealthy woman in the village. There was less timidity in her eyes, and her whole person seemed to have transformed, shining with confidence.

In fact, it’s not just because she makes money, but more because the food she makes is recognized by people. She has a sense of accomplishment and is much more cheerful.

"Cuicui is right. The workshop is fully equipped, and I feel happy when I work."

Lichun nodded and said nothing. She had just earned two days' worth of money and was reluctant to spend it.

Li Qiu looked at the door for a while and said, "Aunt San, there's such a large field at the door. Are they all planted with crops?"

The family with the most land in the village only has ten acres. It was the first time that Li Qiu saw such a large piece of land connected together. It looked very spectacular.

"I plan to plant grapevines."

The three were shocked: "So much land is all planted with grape vines?"

There are people in the village who grow peach, apricot and apple trees in their fields, but I have never heard of anyone growing grape trees, let alone dozens of acres of grape trees.

Cuicui blinked and quickly understood.

Aunt Lin wouldn't plant grape vines for no reason. She thought it must be a new business, so she didn't ask any more questions. However, another question came to her mind.

"Grape seedlings seem to be hard to buy."

Lin nodded and said, "I just dug some in the mountains. I'll go to the county town in the next two days to see if there's any for sale."

There aren't that many wild grapes on the mountain, and it would be too obvious if they were constantly being carried down from the mountain. So when I go into the city, I can pretend to buy them from outside.

Lichun thought thoughtfully: "I remember there were a lot of wild grape trees on the hill where my grandparents lived."

Li Qiu clapped his hands and said, "Then let's go to my grandparents' house and dig some more."

Lin burst out laughing. If a group of outsiders like them suddenly went over there and started digging up grape vines all over the mountain, they would probably be tied up and thrown out of the village by the local villagers.

But they can't go there to dig, but the locals can.

Lin didn't rest. She came out of the workshop and asked Cui Jingwen to keep an eye on this place. She quickly went to Cui's house.

Yu was very surprised when she heard that she wanted to buy grape vines.

"That stuff is not worth much. It's all over the mountains and plains. We cut it down for firewood. If you want it, just ask someone to dig it up in the mountains."

Lin insisted on paying. She planted grape vines to make money by making wine. Moreover, she wanted a large quantity, so she paid in person to avoid any subsequent trouble.

"Two cents a sapling. That's a deal."

Yu was very happy and agreed immediately, saying that she would go back to her parents' home tomorrow.
