Chapter 417

Xia Xi frowns, "Qi Er."

Qi Er looks up, and her mind seems to have not been separated from the book. For a moment, she is at a loss, "Niang."

Xia Xi walks up to him and squats down. "What are you looking at?"

Kiel looked back and showed her the book. "My uncle gave it to me."

Some yellow pages, but well preserved, no title, Xia Xi a rough look, eyes narrowed, the book back to him, "like?"

Kiel nodded, "I like it."

Xia Xi touched his head, "what can't, you can ask your uncle."

Kiel nodded again. "I see."

"You can read with ease, and my mother will go to see how the sweet potato seedlings are."

"Well."

Qi Er bowed her head and was immediately attracted by the content of the book.

Xia Xi stands up and looks at him for a long time. Qi Er is totally immersed in the book.

……

The sweet potato seedlings are still poor. It will take three or four days. Xia Xi asked the village head to prepare all the work before planting sweet potato. "The ridge has to be raised, the fertilizer has to be put on, and the people have to be hired. When the sweet potato seedlings are completely ready, they can start."

The village head has been worried about these, Wen Yan said with a smile, "don't worry, I've finished all these. Just wait for the sweet potato seedlings to be ready, we'll start work, and guarantee to plant all these tens of acres of land in five days."

"Please, uncle."

The village head waved his hand. "Uncle should do whatever you say. In a few days, if you are free, you will come and watch. If you are not free, you will stare at me."

"All right."

"Let's go and have a look at the new workshop. I'm very angry."

The workshop was built in accordance with Xia Xi's requirements. It was divided into two rows. One row was used to make vermicelli, the other row was used to store sweet potatoes. All the green bricks and tiles were used. The wood used for the windows and doors was the best, which was better than that of the landlord's house.

The village head always wanders around all day. The more he wanders around, the more open he is.

Xia Xi followed in the past, inside the face of a circle, nodded, "very good, and so on in the second half of the year we can do noodles."

"Should the price be increased?"

The village head has been thinking about this problem for a long time, but he heard from the peddler who went to the village. In some places, the vermicelli sold for 30 Wen a Jin, and they gave boss Huo ten Wen a Jin, totally 20 Wen less.

Xia Xi smiles, "how much do you think we should sell?"

"At least 15 Wen. We use sweet potatoes and hire people to make them. 15 Wen is not much."

"Then listen to uncle, wait for the second half of the year to raise the price for boss Huo, fifteen Wen."

This year, it's just to open up the market, and it's really hard to earn much money if it's ten Wen.

The village head patted his thigh, "that's a deal. If you can't open it, I'll tell boss Huo then."

"No, I'll tell him that the tide rises and the boat rises. Boss Huo is a businessman. He knows the truth."

Around the corner, it was already noon. The village head asked Xia Xi to go to his home for dinner. "I just told your aunt to make her a meal, so don't give up. Go home and have a bite."

Xia Xi is also not polite, should directly, "I go back to call Qi'er, and then go to find Hu Zi, and so on, we'll go."

"You go to call Qi'er, and I'll help you find Hu Zi."

"That's fine, uncle."

The village head waved his hand and happily went to the village to find Huzi. Xia Xi went home to call Qier. As soon as she got to the door, she heard Huzi's cheerful voice, "Qier, I have an appointment with Gouzi. I'll go to the mountain in the afternoon. You can go with us."

Qi'er was childish and said in a calm voice, "I won't go. You go. I'll wait for my uncle at home."

Xia Xi goes in.

Tiger heard the footsteps, looked back and saw that it was her. She came over with bright eyes, "sister-in-law, can we go back later? I want to play in the mountains. "

In spring, everything grows. At this time, the mountain is very interesting. There are not only wild vegetables, wild fruits, but also some small animals. At this time in previous years, Huzi and Gouzi go up the mountain together to have a good time. If they are lucky, they can catch a pheasant.

Seeing how eager he was, Xia Xi nodded, "OK, sister-in-law and Qi'er will go with you."

……

At noon, the village head's house is very busy. Wei Qian and his wife work in the workshop. Their children stay at the village head's house every day, and Wei Lian's two children. Wei Cai's daughter-in-law doesn't know where she heard that Xia Xi is coming to have dinner. When she goes home, she tells Wei Cai that Wei Cai immediately takes a piece of meat that she just bought at home and leads the family over. Together with Qi'er and Hu Zi, there are a total of eight children, It's a riot in the yard.

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law is also unusual. When she came, she went into the kitchen to help her mother-in-law cook. She didn't say much.

Xia Xi goes in, "Auntie, I'll show my hand today."

Xia Xi's cooking is delicious. The village head's daughter-in-law can't wait for it. She said, "OK, we'll give you a hand."

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law didn't speak, just bent down to make a fire.

In the main room, Wei Cai looks out and sees Xia Xi enter the kitchen. He asks the village head in a low voice, "Dad, what's the plan of Xia Niangzi recently?"

As a carpenter in the workshop, he and his father-in-law's family make a lot of money. Although his father's salary is a little less than other people's, he can't stand much work. Several of them have worked for nearly 20 days, but Wei Caigan is greedy. He thinks whether there is such a good thing. He can earn money without going out of the village.

The village head tilted his eyes to him. If he had not been in the yard when Wei CAI was born, he would have suspected that his son had been switched. He didn't look like himself. He thought carefully, "what do you want to do with this?"

"What can I do? I just want to know if there's any carpentry left for me to do. After all, it doesn't flow to outsiders. "

The village head pouted back directly, "No."

……

After dinner, listen to the tiger said they want to mountain, the children fried the pot, all want to follow.

All the children in the village will go up the mountain at this time, which is nothing, but Xia Xi also wants to go. The village head and the village head's daughter-in-law are afraid that the children will disturb her. They say that their six children, "you play in the yard, and I'll show you up tomorrow."

Where would the children listen? They are clamoring to go.

"Let them follow. There are many children. It's a good time to be a companion."

……

Xia Xi is in front of her, followed by a group of children. When people in the village see her, they think something's wrong. They ask Xia Xi and learn that she is taking the children to play in the mountains. They shake their heads one after another. Rich people are different. Besides trees and grass, what's fun in this mountain? It's better to do more work.

The children are fighting, the pace is fast up, Qi'er is infected by them, also follow up, Xia Xi is left behind.

Xia Xi is not in a hurry, walking slowly. When she enters the mountain, she can only hear the children's voices, but can't see the children's figures.

Xia Xi only went up the mountain once, but still got the lingcao. She was not familiar with the mountain. She walked along the mountain road and followed the children's voices.

Tiger's voice floated over, "I tell you, Gouzi and I found a very interesting place last year, and I will lead you there."

"Good."

The children agreed with one voice.

"Then follow me closely and don't get lost."

The children followed him again.

Xia Xi heard it from a distance, shook his head with a smile, followed them, walked about a long time, and then came to the place that Hu Zi said.

"This is it. Do you see it?"

Xia Xi also came near, only one eye, then narrowed his eyes.
