Chapter 210 Can't Wait
Listening to the previous words, Lin Xiazhi was very moved, but what did Li Xiu mean when he said in the end that he should not go home.
"Ah, do you think I'm in your way at home?" Lin Xiazhi pretended to be sad.
"Yes, that's it." Li Xiu nodded solemnly.
Just now when Lin Xiazhi and Lin Huzi were talking about receiving potatoes and soybeans, Li Xiu heard Lin Xiazhi say that he would come back in two days. what a family.
"..." Lin Xiazhi was silent suddenly, how could he answer these words, he thought Li Xiu would say that he was reluctant to part with him or something.
Yang Yusheng chuckled beside him: "Brother Xia, Ah Mo has been thinking about you every day for the past two days, worrying that you won't be able to eat well or sleep well. I heard Ah Mo get up and tidy up the house before dawn today."
Even if Yang Yusheng didn't say anything, Lin Xiazhi could guess Li Xiu's mood, but after hearing what Yang Yusheng said, Lin Xiazhi's eyes still turned red.
The son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried. Although Lin Xiazhi did not travel thousands of miles, but he went to live in another family, how can Li Xiu rest assured.
Li Xiu's eyes were also red: "Ah, it's not that I won't let you go home, but I hope you can stay in Cheng's house well, restrain your playfulness and give birth to a child as soon as possible."
Yang Yusheng came over to support Li Xiu: "Ah, Brother Xia and Wen Liu have a good relationship, and Cheng Fulang and the others are also easy to get along with. Don't worry, you will be able to hug your big fat grandson soon."
"Haha." Lin Xiazhi smiled stiffly, forgetting the sadness just now.
On the other side, Lin Chengzu also told Cheng Wenliu to take good care of Lin Xiazhi. Cheng Wenliu nodded in agreement, and promised again and again that he would not bully Lin Xiazhi.
When it came to bullying, Cheng Wenliu turned his head and looked at Lin Xiazhi, thinking that he had been considerate of Lin Xiazhi in the past few days, and he had never bullied him at night except for the day of his marriage.
There are endless words of reluctance, and we still have to part after all, Cheng Wenliu helped Lin Xiazhi into the carriage, and the Lin family stood at the door to watch them leave.
Li Xiu turned her back and secretly wiped her tears. Lin Xiazhi saw it when she opened the curtain and looked back, feeling panicked.
"Brother Xia, I will accompany you back when you miss home, don't be sad." Cheng Wenliu put his arms around Lin Xiazhi, comforting him.
Lin Xiazhi wiped away the two tears from the corners of his eyes, and suppressed the emotions in his heart. He is becoming more and more sentimental now, and he will cry like this.
On the way back, in order to distract Lin Xiazhi, Cheng Wenliu chatted with him about family affairs.
Although Lin Xiazhi learned from Cheng Luanjing that Cheng Fulang was going to train him to be a housekeeper, he was still a little confused, so he asked Cheng Wenliu about it to see what Cheng Wenliu thought.
"Ah Mo really doesn't like to take care of those chores. His thoughts should be sincere. What about you, do you want to help Ah Mo with housekeeping?" Cheng Wenliu paid more attention to Lin Xiazhi's thoughts.
If Lin Xiazhi doesn't like the housekeeper, Cheng Wenliu will find a way to let Lin Xiazhi have other things to do instead of being dragged into the housekeeper by Ah Mo.
He really deserves to be a good son who has inherited the characteristics of Father Cheng, and he is merciless in cheating Ah Mo for his husband.
Lin Xiazhi smiled: "It's not difficult to be a housekeeper, and there are not too many things at home, I can handle it."
Cheng Wenliu had no doubts about Lin Xiazhi's ability. The Lin family had changed so much in two or three years under his leadership, and the Cheng family's affairs would definitely not trouble him.
"That's good. If you have any problems that you don't want to talk to Ah Mo, just tell me and I'll take care of it." Cheng Wenliu walked around Lin Xiazhi, smelling the fresh scent of saponins on his body, feeling very satisfied.
It was rare for Lin Xiazhi to be honest and not struggle, and let Cheng Wenliu hug him, and the two whispered on the way back.
When Lin Xiazhi and the others returned to Cheng's house, Cheng Fulang smiled from ear to ear as he looked at the gift from the Lin family.
These are all good things. The food that the Lin family keeps for their own food is always more delicious than the ones sold outside or grown in the Cheng family's farm. Before we were married to the Lin family, the Lin family would send some to them during the harvest season. Cheng Zhai.
With Brother Xia in the future, the food provided by the Lin family should be enough for their masters to eat.
Cheng Fulang's little jijiujiu Lin Xiazhi could now see that the reason why he sent so much expensive food to his family was because he liked the food produced by himself, and he laughed a little.
Because even if the improved varieties are intensively cultivated, the yield is still lower than that of the high-yielding varieties, so Lin Xiazhi does not plan to promote the improved varieties for the time being.After a few years or even more than ten years, the people of Jingguo can plant high-yielding varieties and have enough food, and it will not be too late to start promoting improved varieties.
If the Cheng family wants to eat good seeds, they can grow them themselves, and there is no need to wait for the large-scale promotion of good seeds in the future.
After dinner, Cheng Wenliu took Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Fulang to discuss making bamboo pipes to transport water at home: "Ah, I have tried the bamboo pipes from Yue Ama's house, and they are really convenient to use. You just need to open the plug with water, and you can use it in the house." There is no need to put all kinds of buckets."
Cheng Fulang had heard of bamboo pipes used to carry water in the fields before, and when Cheng Wenliu said that the Lin family had installed bamboo pipes to carry water at home, he immediately became interested and asked Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu to install bamboo pipes to carry water at home to try.
As a result, the potatoes and soybeans in Linjia Village began to be harvested after Lin Xiazhi returned home, and the Cheng family also began to ship bamboo pipes for water under Lin Xiazhi's arrangement.
In Beishan Village, because the first round of crops was planted after Bilin's family, there was no time to plant the second round of crops, so there was no chance to harvest the second round of beans this year.However, the number of beans collected in the first round of this year was enough for them to be surprised.
Hearing that the Lin family village received the second round, Old Qin asked Qin Dagou and Qin Sangou to help the Lin family, while he brought his son Qin Sigou and the fifteen- and six-year-old boys of the Qin family to Cheng Zhai. Install bamboo tubes according to the layout of Cheng Zhai.
Old Qintou and the others have already installed bamboo pipes for many people's homes, and they are skilled in their workmanship. Even if Cheng's house is several times larger than ordinary people's houses, they quickly calculated how to arrange the bamboo pipes.
The pottery workshop in the county town always has large water storage jars, and there is no need for someone from the Qin family to order them. You can buy large jars directly when you need them.
In two days, the bamboo pipes for water transportation and waste water drainage in Cheng's residence were completed. Cheng Fulang and others also realized the benefits of bamboo pipes, and praised Lin Xiazhi's good idea.
When the servants of the Cheng family were working at Lao Qintou and the others, they learned from Lao Qintou that their second young husband, Lang, was responsible for the bamboo pipe transportation, and immediately admired Lin Xiazhi even more.
Seeing that Cheng Fulang wanted to let Lin Xiazhi be the housekeeper, everyone became more respectful to Lin Xiazhi and did not dare to disagree.
The bamboo tubes in Cheng Zhai were installed, and the second round of potatoes and soybeans in Linjia Village were also collected from the ground this year.
Lin Xiazhi likes to eat dishes made of new potatoes. The Lin family asked Lin Chengzu to deliver two large baskets of potatoes and three half-sized chickens from the Li family that day in a donkey cart.
Lin Xiazhi arranged for the kitchen to make a few pots of potato and chicken nuggets with potatoes, and all the servants in the family had a chance to share a bowl.
There is less chicken and more potatoes. There are only two or three pieces of chicken in a bowl, and the rest are potatoes. The half-sized chicken is very tender. It has been stewed for a long time and absorbed the full juice. The potatoes are fragrant with chicken, and the powder is glutinous The bad mood after eating the glutinous glutinous rice is gone, and the remaining soup is soaked in a spoonful of rice, and the taste is not reduced at all.
This meal, with its high-quality ingredients and the chef's craftsmanship, made everyone in the Cheng residence very satisfied, and Cheng Fulang ate an extra bowl of rice for the first time in the evening.
Lin Xiazhi bought the hearts of the servants into his hands with one meal, and lived more comfortably in Cheng Zhai.
At this time, the children's examination in the second half of this year began. Cheng Fulang thought that Linjia Village had built a school and heard that there were children preparing for the entrance examination, so he asked, "Xia Geer, do you want the children from your village school to come to the county?" Take care of one or two?"
The rich and wealthy families in the county will send someone to take care of children when they come to take the exam every year when they come across children from villages related to their family.
In the past, the Cheng family had nothing to do with the Lin family village, but now that Lin Xiazhi married into their family, and the Lin family's children came to take the exam, they should take care of them both emotionally and rationally.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiazhi shook his head: "Ah, thank you for your kindness, it's just that the people in our village are either working in the workshop or selling our tofu, everyone is not short of money, so don't rush to help them. "
These wealthy households take care of the candidates because it is not easy for farmers to provide for their children. Since they have a relationship, they will help one or two. More importantly, they hope that the candidates they support will pass the exam and have the opportunity to become scholars on the road to the imperial examination. Even raising people, then they are sponsors, and they have a bright face.
There is no shortage of money for the children in Linjiacun to take the county exams, so there is no need for the Cheng family to help, so as not to be suspicious.
Cheng Fulang understood what Lin Xiazhi meant, and let Lin Xiazhi watch the arrangement.
Sure enough, the few children from Linjia Village who came to the county town to take the exam for children this year did not come to Cheng's house to disturb them. The villagers asked Mr. Zheng to take the children to find an inn in the county town.
This time, there were several more children in Linjia Village. Lin Xiazhi was more familiar with Zhou Pengyuan from Zhou's family, Lin Tianci from Uncle Lin's family, and Master Zheng's second son. Lin Chengzu said that the three of them were the most likely pass the exam.
No one in my family took the Tongsheng Examination. After hearing about it, Lin Xiazhi didn't take it too seriously. After they finished the exam and made sure they passed the Tongsheng Examination, just prepare some small gifts.
He is now looking at the Cheng family's account books for the past two years every day, learning about the Cheng family from the account books, and laying the foundation for him to be a housekeeper in the future.
Because the Cheng family is in business, and the business of the shop outside is managed by the family man, Cheng Fulang only has the account books in his hands for the purchases at home and the daily expenses of the people. It's not too complicated, but the traditional characters make Lin Xiazhi think Benevolent pain.
Replace the complex characters with Arabic numerals in your head, and use charcoal to write and draw calculations on bamboo paper. You can read up to one-third of an account in a day, and an account records a month's worth. In terms of cost, it would take him one month to read the two-year volume.
Cheng Fulang was considerate of Lin Xiazhi's account book, and let him read it slowly when he had time. After reading the account book for the past two years, he took time to organize the warehouse at home in November. He showed with his actions that he really couldn't wait to get it Hand over stewardship.
