Chapter 243
"This mountain is going to be flattened in half, everyone work harder." Liu Yaoqing changed into neat clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and moved soil clods, branches and other things with everyone.
"Try to complete half of it today!" Brother Zhi also shouted.
The men worked much faster. This is the second mountain they have leveled. The previous one has been leveled. Although the hill looks bare now, with all the trees and weeds pulled out, they know that the hill will be leveled in the future. How beautiful it will be.
They have all seen the sand table and know what the mountain will look like in the future.
Such a beautiful place was created by them, just like creating a fairyland with their own hands.
"Take a break, take a rest, I saw the tea delivery person coming." Liu Yaoqing wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Brother Zhi, follow along and finish the drawing, I want to see it tonight."
"Forget it." Brother Zhi nodded.
After a busy day, the goal was accomplished, and everyone dragged their tired bodies back, and when they packed up and went to the dining hall for dinner, they would be alive and well again.
"I have to go back." Liu Yaoqing said, "the children have a lot of days to come out, mother should miss them. It's also cold, the children are easy to catch cold outside."
"En." Brother Zhezi said in a low voice, "Yesterday Liu Doudou secretly told me that she misses her brother."
"Hey, why didn't he tell me." Liu Yaoqing smiled, "It must be because I am the head of the family, he is afraid that I will send him back if he tells me, he is afraid!"
There are boats from the island to Linhai almost every day, sometimes if Liu Yaoqing doesn't look at the account book, she doesn't know what the boat is transporting today, but the steward who is in charge of this can remember it.
Today, most of the goods brought by the big ship are cotton clothes, and there are also some ingredients, such as eggs, meat, potatoes, etc. are particularly complete.
It was only after seeing a large bag of cotton clothes that Liu Yaoqing realized, "So it's time to distribute the cotton clothes, so we really have to go back right away."
Cotton clothes are issued in advance. Generally, although it is not very cold at this time, the temperature may suddenly drop one day. I can’t stand wearing single clothes, so I have to wear cotton clothes.
After boarding the boat directly, Liu Yaoqing specially called Shang Xing Ge and Guo Ge Er.
"If the two of you get married in a few years, as will Brother Yu and Brother Lang, I will ask them to return to Linhai or Dan County, after all, it will be inconvenient here." Liu Yaoqing said, "We can't miss the etiquette that we should prepare."
Brother Xing, Brother Guo, Brother Yu and Brother Lang are different from Brother Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi. At that time, it was all prepared by the Li family, and the situation with Brother Zhezi was quite special.
Now Mrs. Li is busy every day and has to take care of the children, even Mrs. Shen is so busy every day that her feet don't touch the ground, the preparations for the marriage probably haven't even started yet.
"I have to go to Guo Ge'er's house to deliver New Year's goods." Xing Ge held Guo Ge'er's hand and said, "It's too late to get off work..."
"That was years ago." Liu Yaoqing nodded, finalizing the matter.
Waiting for the boat to reach the sea, Liu Yaoqing can't leave for a while, because there are many things to ask him.
Although the stewards can write letters, it is definitely not as convenient as meeting and talking. Before Liu Yaoqing had time to rest, the stewards came to her with a stack of papers in their hands.
"Is the year-end preparation starting now?"
"Well, let's start now. The Linhai side is also responsible for the island side." Liu Yaoqing said, "The island is prepared in advance, and sent there first. They won't come back this year for the New Year. In addition to the ordinary gift box, let's pack a tael of silver."
"Brother Qing, many people have asked me, what will happen after the ship is built in the next year?"
"We won't let them go home. We will still do ship-related work in the future. After the ship is built, won't it be damaged? In the future, everyone's main work may be ship repairing, etc., of course. Shipbuilding is not completely stopped, it’s just that there are a little less. You can tell them so that everyone knows.”
"Brother Qing, many people think our Linhai shop is too small, can you expand it?"
The shop in Linhai was opened by Liu Yaoqing, and the products that were taken out and sold were all on Liu Yaoqing's own account. These days, the wages were paid several times, and everyone wanted to buy some rare things when they had money. It went into Liu Yaoqing's pocket.
I asked once in the manager's letter, and this time when Liu Yaoqing came, I asked once.
"Well, I'm also going to expand it again." Liu Yaoqing said, "You can arrange it later, see how much wood, manpower, etc. are needed, and give me a budget."
"to make."
The stewards came and went one by one, and it was dark when the last steward was sent away.
Liu Yaoqing stretched her waist, she didn't eat any food and slept until the next day, only then did she feel that she was very hungry.
"Let's go to the dining hall to eat." Brother Zhezi said.
"Okay." Liu Yaoqing rubbed her brows and said, "Last night I dreamed about Linhai's affairs, and my mind was buzzing. Brother Zhezi, should we also find a big manager to help manage Linhai's affairs Son... but I can't rest assured that way."
Linhai is different from Dan County. Its main business is not food, but boats. You must not cut corners. Once there is a small mistake, it may be destroyed by an ant nest. If something happens at sea, it will be destroyed by then. The loss may be dozens or hundreds of lives.
So even though everything was on the right track here in Linhai, Liu Yaoqing didn't find someone to be in charge to take charge of everything, but the island had hired Du Xiu early on to take care of everything.
"Brother Qing, when there are more and more people in the future, it is inevitable that some people with evil intentions will sneak in." Brother Zhezi said softly.
"I know, and people's hearts will always change." Liu Yaoqing sighed, and soon cheered up, "At least it's still very good. Brother Zhezi, let's go back to Shanggu Village, send the child back, and help Brother Xing by the way Getting ready for marriage."
When she got married back then, Liu Yaoqing didn't feel much in her heart, she just thought about wearing new clothes that day, going out with brother Zhezi, putting the dowry or betrothal gift around the village, and later... Later, it was Li The customs arranged by the family are like that in every household, and besides, they are not very happy, and they are pregnant in the end.
This time Brother Xing was going to get married, Liu Yaoqing was thinking, she had to participate anyway.
"There will be a boat in two hours, let's go back by boat." Brother Zhezi said happily.
"Okay." Liu Yaoqing got up to look for Liu Doudou and Bai Niangxian.
The corn stalks in the field began to turn yellow, and the corn kernels became hard, crystal clear like small pieces of jade.Potatoes have been harvested long ago, and there are only piles of potato seedlings in the field. Some industrious people have even leveled the field and waited for the sky to freeze before turning over the field. There will be much less weeds after planting crops next year.
Everyone is carrying baskets and pushing wooden carts to the field to break corn. Each corn is as big as a catty, and it is heavy.
Every family has a small paddock, full of corn, peanuts, beans and other crops.
Sitting in the carriage and looking out, Liu Yaoqing found that not only were there a lot of crops in the fields of Shanggu Village, there were also a lot of wild raspberries, much more than in previous years.
The paddocks on the mountain piled up more grain, Liu Yaoqing has not stopped buying land in the past two years, and bought land from other villages when the land in the village was gone.
"Come back, Brother Yu, Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu! Your brother is back."
Liu Doudou and Bai Niangxian got out of the carriage and walked towards the yard holding hands, shouting.Seeing Mrs. Li coming out of the house, they hurriedly shouted: "Grandma."
"Hey, my baby brother is back." Mrs. Li hurried over, picked up the two little brothers and walked inside together.
Liu Yaoqing followed in and said with a smile, "Mother can't even see me."
"I can see it, I can see it." Li Shi said, "I figured that after a long time, you should come back with your child."
"That's not true, both brothers are homesick." Liu Yaoqing climbed onto the kang to rest.
Mrs. Li turned around and went out, and after a while showed Liu Yaoqing the account books sent by the stewards, a big stack.Fortunately, the accounts on the mountain are relatively simple, and most of them have been seen by Su Da, and Liu Yaoqing can basically just glance at them.
Going home is always the most relaxing, Liu Yaoqing doesn't have to worry about many things, she can do whatever she wants.
When eating breakfast, Liu Yaoqing gave the egg yolk to brother Zhezi, and ate the egg whites by herself, when she suddenly thought of it and asked, "Grandpa, are you done with the autumn harvest?"
"It's not over yet." Li said, "I heard that we just started cleaning up. A while ago, Xiaobao's child caught a cold, and your grandfather sold another acre of land to hire a doctor. Now it seems to be healed."
"Where's Uncle?" Liu Yaoqing asked, "Did you escape?"
"Not yet. Someone in the village went to see it. They said that your grandpa took a hoe to dig the root of the wall. I didn't know if the wall could be knocked down a few years ago. It will definitely be a problem at that time." Mrs. Li frowned, "Some people in the village I'm not happy, I'm worried that your uncle will lose face if he runs out and flirts with you."
"What are you afraid of, no matter how capable my uncle is, there is only one person, and there are so many people in the village staring at him." Liu Yaoqing thought for a while and then said, "But no matter what, we still have to show our attitude, how about it, I'll go down the mountain today and talk to Fifth Uncle Liu."
Even if the relationship is severed, but the blood relationship is still there, Liu Yaoqing is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid that the villagers will care about it and think that with him, it is not easy to kill Liu Quanfu.
Liu Quanjin came in from the outside with the child in his arms, and hurriedly said, "Give me something for your grandpa, I heard that your grandpa can't even eat these days..."
Old man Liu's family didn't have much food, and the land was still sold for money, so he had to be tight-lipped, and he basically ate as little as he could.The people in the village saw it, the old man Liu was very old, and Liu Quanjin heard it when he usually said it.
"Sure, I'll take some food to send." Liu Yaoqing didn't refute.
Liu Quanjin breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the baby some milk beans.
Li rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Qing, you have to be mentally prepared. Your grandpa doesn't know what to say. I heard people in the village say he's just a fool."
Anyway, when you are not old, you are confused.
Liu Quanjin didn't dare to speak, and went out again with the baby in her arms.Liu Yaoqing was not on the mountain, it was the Li family who made the decision and raised her aura, but Liu Quanjin became weaker and weaker.
