Farming and reading family

The Chen family completed the autumn sowing very quickly, and there was a light rain after that, which made all the villagers envious.

The people who had helped the Chen family farm before also borrowed farm tools and started busy with autumn sowing.

Those who are left without farm tools can either buy them or wait until others have used them up.

The Chen family had some free time and started doing carpentry work with Master An to quickly finish decorating the house.

Luo Dagang and Peng Can were also assigned to the small courtyard.

Luo Dagang did not wait for Master An to do it. He wanted to move down with his sister as soon as possible, so he went to He County and bought some ready-made furniture. This made the people in Baotou Village very envious. They did not expect that Luo Dagang, who was silent all day, was so rich.

Peng Can didn't care at first, but Chen Qing came to him to talk about getting married with Chen Yuning, so Peng Can had to go to Gao E to discuss it.

Gao E felt that waiting was too slow, so she asked him to buy a complete set like Luo Dagang did.

After all, Peng Can had a huge sum of money with Gao E, and even if he paid back the previous betrothal money, there would still be a lot left.

Some people originally thought it was a pity that Chen Yuning married someone like Peng Can, but now they think the two are a good match.

Jin Ruyi was too busy to find Gao E, so Gao E went to find Jin Ruyi. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw the yard full of women making cowhide tents.

"So many people?" Gao E was surprised.

"There were more in the past two days, but these past two days some people have gone back to work on the autumn planting." Jin Ruyi brought Gao E into the house and made her some tea. "I heard the village collective has been disbanded?"

"Who told you that?" Gao E has never seen Jin Ruyi since the village collective was disbanded.

"People from Baotou Village pass by Luoyun Village and some of them start a conversation." Jin Ruyi said with a smile.

Gao E thought about it and asked, "How is the autumn sowing going in Luoyun Village?"

“All that was trimmed has been planted.”

"Have you told them about going to the Toad Valley kiln to burn bricks?" Gao E thought that they should be able to burn enough bricks and tiles to build a house in one winter.

"I'll tell you in the next two days." Jin Ruyi said that he hadn't said anything yet. "Are you really not going to take some money from them?"

"Just collect the money for renting the kiln and the money for the bricks." Gao E didn't plan to charge more. "By the way, tell them that their children can go to the school in Batou Village."

Gao E and Jin Ruyi talked about the method of paying for the rent by doing work.

Jin Ruyi nodded: "This is a good idea. Have you discussed it?"

"Well, later they built houses and dug river sand in the same way as before. They dug all the ponds on the beach." Gao E talked about this.

"I don't know what you want. These things will be sold for money if they are put in the hands of others." Jin Ruyi wanted to laugh.

"Hurry up," Gao E said bluntly, "I can take my time planning everything else, but time has passed. I can no longer catch up."

Jin Ruyi was stunned. She had never thought about the problem from this angle.

Gao E was very clear from the beginning that the land could be cultivated slowly, but the opportunity to make money was fleeting.

It takes three years to grow silkworms, and three to five years to grow clam ponds.

It takes a long time to raise them, so she has to rush in when the market needs them most, so that she can have a place among the big families.

Otherwise, how could a farmer like her compare with those deeply rooted big families?

"You're right." Jin Ruyi nodded. "We must seize the day."

"It's not that complicated." Gao E didn't care. "We will move down from the cave in a while. Then you can arrange for Lu Erniang to go back to Yuedi."

"She can't do it alone, right?" Jin Ruyi worried.

Gao E frowned: "I'm thinking whether to let Luo Dagang go with her, or let Yu Zhao go."

"Luo Dagang," Jin Ruyi suggested. "Yu Zhao can stabilize the tenants in Luoyun Village."

Gao E felt that Luo Dagang was being asked to go out too frequently: "I'll go back and discuss this with him."

Jin Ruyi knew that Luo Dagang was not from the Chen family: "When are you going to buy the Wei family's house?"

"Before the New Year." Gao E had already thought about it. "It's just right to go to Qinzhou City to buy some things before the New Year."

The two discussed for a while, and Gao E planned to tell Jin Ruyi everything that the tenants in Luoyun Village had done, and then took Lu Qingluo away.

"I can go to Yue." Lu Qingluo suddenly said.

Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo avoided Gao E's gaze and said, "There's nothing going on in Baotou Village right now anyway."

"Is your home also in Yue?" Gao E felt that this was the only possibility.

"Not here." Lu Qingluo denied it bluntly.

"Oh." Gao E thought they must be passing by or not far away. "We'll talk later."

Lu Qingluo didn't insist on going either.

Gao E hesitated for a moment and then went to see Tao Meiyu. She seemed to be living a comfortable life now.

When Gao E returned to Batou Village in the evening, she asked Luo Dagang about accompanying Lu Erniang to Yuedi.

"I can't go this time." Luo Dagang refused embarrassedly.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Gao E thought that Luo Dagang already lived in Baotou Village, so how could he have anything else to say.

Luo Dagang took out a thousand taels of silver note: "This is what Master Fan gave me as a thank you last time."

Gao E suddenly realized that Fan Shiping was quite generous. Luo Dagang had saved his life, so it was impossible for him not to express his gratitude: "Just take what you give it to me."

Luo Dagang hesitated for a moment and put it away, not knowing what to say.

"You were just staying in our Chen family temporarily and helped us a lot. It's normal for you to live in your own house now." Gao E comforted Luo Dagang.

"No..." Luo Dagang actually regarded Sister Gao and the others as his own family. "I just think that those who are chasing Mr. Fan are not simple. Besides, they have seen my face. If they follow me for revenge..."

Gao E's heart tightened when she heard Luo Dagang say this: "Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, so I can't go out." Luo Dagang said seriously.

Gao E thought about it and said: "Then you stay in the village, I will let others go to Yuedi."

Luo Dagang nodded.

Gao E didn't expect that Luo Dagang had concealed such a thing. Now she really can't afford to offend anyone.

When she was taking Lu Qingluo back, she suddenly asked, "You haven't seen Jiang Zhongren for such a long time, can you still recognize him?"

"I can recognize him even if he turns into ashes." Lu Qingluo gritted his teeth.

"What if it turns into bones?" Gao E just thought it was a statement of deep hatred.

"Yes." Lu Qingluo was very sure.

"Ah?" Gao E stopped and turned to look at Lu Qingluo.

"Jiang Zhongren has six toes on his feet and his ribs were broken." Lu Qingluo stared at Gao E.

"Oh." Gao E thought that even if he turned into ashes, she would still be recognized. "You and Lu Erniang went to Yuedi."

"Okay." Lu Qingluo nodded.

Although Lu Qingluo had not been with Gao E for a long time, Gao E felt that it was enough. Now no one was looking for Jiang Zhongren, and Jiang Zhongren's body had no meaning to Gao E.

But it means a lot to Lu Qingluo, and perhaps it will allow her to be reborn.

The three-year agreement was just something Gao E said casually. After all, they were not familiar with each other at that time, and it was easier to trust each other under certain conditions.
