Chapter 168 Let Me Be Clear with You
The carriage was swaying and moving slowly on the road, mainly because the two cows were too weak and had to rest after walking for a while.
While taking a break on the road, Zhao Huanxi picked up some thorny plants from the roadside, stuck the thorns into his fingertips, and shared his blood with the two cows.
As a result, Shufeng was also humming beside him. Zhao Huanxi had no choice but to give it a bite while Shufeng was not paying attention.
Then he took out the water bag and washed his hands. At this time, the three big animals had digested the blood.
Suddenly I felt stronger and could walk faster. But it was only a little bit. These creatures were too big, and these two drops of blood could only alleviate the problem, not solve it.
I finally arrived home in the afternoon. On the way, I met some neighbors from the village and chatted with Zhao Huanxi.
I told them that I needed hay and firewood at home, and the price was the same as before. The hay and the firewood were the same price, and I could ask Chunliu to pay me copper coins after I delivered them to the back door.
The grain harvest had already begun, and aside from tilling the soil, there was little else to do in the fields. Those villagers who went to work at Huanxi's house were paid, and those who didn't could earn enough to buy a few pounds of meat by diligently chopping firewood and delivering it.
After sending Meixiang back to the Lu family, Ping'an and Ping'le jumped for joy when they saw the fruit in their sister's arms. Actually, they wanted to take these two lively kids to town, but they were too noisy, and there were too many children, so they were worried they wouldn't be able to keep an eye on them.
She brought them a lot of food. Liu came out and wiped her hands on her apron. Seeing that it was her daughter who came back, she walked up to her and took Meixiang to look left and right.
"Second sister-in-law, Meixiang hasn't lost a single hair." Huanxi teased Liu.
Liu smiled embarrassedly and said, "No, why do I feel like this girl has gained a lot of weight after going out?"
Huanxi thought of Meixiang's constant chatter in town and laughed dryly. Not only Meixiang, but even the three little ones in her family looked fatter than this morning.
These girls... really ate a lot today.
He took a few pounds of fresh meat from the car and gave it to Liu, then drove back home.
"Happy sister! You're back. I heard you went to town today, so I thought you must have just returned. This is tea made from chrysanthemums I picked in the mountains and dried. Drinking it in autumn can dispel heat and dampness, so I rushed to bring it to you."
Lu Yuanke was waiting at the intersection and shouted when he saw her carriage coming.
Huanxi and Xu Qingzhao looked at each other, and both saw deep speechlessness in each other's eyes.
"Oh! What should I do? I bought a lot of tea in town today, including some tribute chrysanthemum from Huizhou. If anyone in your family gets angry, Brother Lu, please tell me and I'll send you the tribute chrysanthemum. The tea seller said that this tribute chrysanthemum not only dispels wind and heat, soothes the liver and improves eyesight, but also has some detoxifying effects!"
The two were quite far away from each other, so it was understandable that Zhao Huanxi was hard of hearing and didn't hear what the man said, but Lu Yuanke didn't think so.
It was obvious that she looked down on his wild chrysanthemums, but upon closer inspection, what this foolish woman said was so perfectly consistent that he couldn't even find fault with it.
I could only say in a sullen tone, "Thank you for your concern, sister Huanxi. This is something my grandfather specially asked me to bring to you. You must not let him think that you despise these wild chrysanthemums."
Zhao Huanxi narrowed his eyes. Was he using the old man to pressure someone else? Seeing that this was near his home, he simply jumped out of the carriage and began to search the back of the carriage.
After a while, he took out a bag of tea, ran to Lu Yuanke, handed it to him and said, "How can this be possible? I appreciate the kindness of the clan leader. This is the southern roadside tea I bought from the tea shop in town. It is said to be the best for the elderly. This is not much. Please help pass it to the clan leader. I am not good at speaking and can't say anything auspicious. Please say a few words for me when you pass it to the clan leader.
When Qing Zhao and I have our wedding, I'll have to ask him to come and help me."
After saying this, Lu Yuanke's face turned blue and purple. What marriage? He was indeed a crude farmer. He had no sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame to talk about such things all the time.
"Sister Huanxi is really going to marry the younger brother of the Xu family, that's really..." He said this almost with gritted teeth.
"A talented man and a beautiful girl, right? My father said the same thing. Thank you for your good wishes, Brother Lu. I'll go back first. The children are hungry. They have been clamoring to go home for dinner in the carriage." After saying that, he went to the carriage to tie the two cows and went to his backyard.
When Xu Qingzhao passed by Lu Yuanke, he deliberately waved his whip. Shufeng ran in pain, and the ground was covered with dust. Lu Yuanke was choked by the dust and coughed. When he came to his senses, the carriage had disappeared.
Some girls and boys saw Lu Yuanke being humiliated in their own yards and started laughing secretly. Who told him to look down on the people in the village? Serves him right!
Lu Jiangming, from Lu Daniu's family, was also studying in town. After returning, he not only didn't look down on the villagers, but also treated them with courtesy. This comparison made Lu Yuanke even more unpopular behind his back.
Seeing Zhao Huanxi walking away, Lu Yuanke secretly clenched his fists and stared at Zhao Jia, as if he was brewing something.
Of course Zhao Huanxi knew what he was thinking. Just by looking at his face, he knew that Lu Yuanke was a scheming and narrow-minded person.
The eyes are large but lifeless, the pupils are small so most of the eye is white, the eyebrows are plain and not gathered, and the lips are thin and flat. This face is simply the template of a heartless man... (made up by the author)
Last time she gave him money, it was clear that she didn't want to take his things for free and didn't want to be involved with him. Unexpectedly, her refusal was still not obvious to others, but this time she was direct and said, let's see what Lu Yuanke wants to do next.
If you want to break up with me, then come on. At worst, I can just yell at Brother Tai and say wah ku wah ku, saving me the trouble of having to fight psychological battles with these people every day.
"Madam, you are back. The water is always ready. Ladies, please go wash your hands and have dinner." Yuanzhen was moving things from the car.
Huanxi ran to the backyard to check the progress.
The foundation of the greenhouse has been built. It's not large, only about 40 square meters. It should be finished in about half a month. Mainly because Carpenter Lao Lin is on site to supervise, he can move very quickly.
The well had already been dug about ten meters deep, and now it was basically two people digging from below, using a wooden frame to lift buckets of water from below. The progress was also slower than before.
It was almost time to get off work, so Zhao Huanxi chatted for a while and then went to his new house.
The work in the medicinal fields was also finishing up. Zhao Huanxi had the workers take some hay and burn the ground. After all, this wasteland was previously covered in weeds. They needed to find a way to deal with it. This would also help rid the land of insects and fertilize it, killing two birds with one stone.
The foundation of the new house was laid a long time ago, and now they are building the walls and repairing the courtyard. They have also added work on the floor heating, so the construction period has been pushed back by half a month. I estimate that the house will be completed after the Chinese New Year.
