Chapter 263

When song Xintong and his family returned to Zhu's home, Yang Shugang came back from the farm and was discussing with Zhu about what should be planted in the field.

"We have to leave it empty first, or put clean water behind to grow rape and wheat." Zhu said.

Poplar said: "but I see there is no river here, and it's not easy to re store water at that time."

"There's a river in two or three villages, but it's a bit of a problem to draw water from other people's fields." Zhu said.

"That's not easy."

Song Xintong said: "I saw two or three low-lying areas in the middle of those fields yesterday. Can we dig deep to store water? At that time, almost all the land will be able to use water. If there is a drought or something, it will just solve the problem. "

The poplar thought, "I know what the girl said, but it's about three or four mu. How about using such a wide place to store water? It's a bit of a waste. "

"It's better to use less, but it's better to use the excavated mud to raise the land nearby, otherwise they will be flooded when the water is stored." Song Xintong said.

Poplar said: "I'll go and have a look with Uncle Zhu later. When the people in the village are finished, we can start digging."

Song Xintong nodded: "yes, please help me to have a look."

After uncle Zhu left, aunt Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and peeled garlic and asked, "Xintong, why did you buy land? How much money will it cost for so much land? "

"My uncle bought it." Song Xintong knows that they all think that the Song family doesn't have money, and the money is Lu Yunkai's. she won't explain it alone for this kind of thing, and she wants to give enough face to men.

"So it is. Uncle Lu is very kind to you." Aunt Zhu couldn't help saying, "it's filial piety to do such a decent job for your grandfather this time."

Hearing other people praise Lu Yunkai, song Xintong is also happy at the bottom of his heart, and his face unconsciously overflows with a smile: "he treats us very well."

"I can see that although the appearance is bad, it's right to have a good heart." Aunt Zhu said, "how can you plant such land? You're a little far away from here, and you can't stare at it all the time. "

"It's not far. I'll be here in less than half a day." Song Xintong roughly described the distance of Qingjiang county. "If you are free, you will come to our village to find us. There is also a dock there. It's only one day to go to Lingnan city by boat. It's much faster than taking the official road."

"Well, I'll look for you when I'm free. Come to Xinghua village when you're free." Zhu ainai said.

"Yes, anything."

After lunch, song Xintong and they are going to leave.

"Shall we go now?" Zhu's family are all at home, and they are reluctant to part with each other, especially Yadan and Xiaoju, two children of six or seven years old, who are reluctant to part with the twins.

"It's time to go. I've been here for days."

"It's not far back. Why are you in such a hurry? Stay a few more days. " Zhu said.

The twins said, "we're going to play in Lingnan city. We won't go home."

"To Lingnan city? Go in a carriage? " Aunt Zhu still remembers that song Xintong said in the morning that it was very fast to make a boat. "How can I take a boat? Not to mention a day by boat? "

"When you go back, you can take a boat. Now you can walk along the official road and have a look at the scenery along the road." Song Xintong pulls the twins to the side, so that they are not noisy.

"Then, when you are gone, what should we do about digging the water storage pool?" Mr. Zhu asked,

Song Xintong and uncle Zhu said, "after a few days, your rice has been cut, and then you will have free time. Uncle Yang, they will come back to hire people to dig."

"That will do." Mr. Zhu took a puff of water pipe. "We'll finish it in mid July at most, and then we'll be free to do it for you."

"It's so far away that I can't come here from time to time. I'll trouble Mr. Zhu in the field for you to help me." Song Xintong said.

Uncle Zhu said, "yes, it should be."

Aunt Zhu said, "our family has also rented your land. We'll be there by then. We'll see it all."

"By the way, Xintong, people in the village have heard that the land has changed its owner, and they still want to sign a contract with the new owner. Do you want to rent it to them?"

Song Xintong said: "it's still early to say that. When Uncle Yang and they go back to work out the rules, they will come back. If they want to rent seeds, they will also sign a new contract."

"A new contract?" Is aunt Zhu worried that she will be too strict?

Song Xintong asked, "did you have to pay the fifth floor to the master before, and pay your own taxes?"

"Yes." Aunt Zhu sighed. She couldn't save much food for a year, so she had to eat and feed.

"Zhu ainai, you can rest assured that my contract will not be so strict after that."

"That would be wonderful."

Song Xintong: "if anyone asks you, you will tell them the same thing."

Aunt Zhu hesitated: "what about the Xu family?"

Song Xintong laughed: "since they kowtow and admit their mistakes, I will not care about them any more, as long as they don't provoke me any more."

"They certainly don't dare."

Song Xintong said: "and my grandfather, their graveyard bothers you to look after Zhu. After all, it's far away. I also bother you to help burn some paper money on New Year's day."

"Yes, we all have it in mind." Master Zhu nodded.

"Then we'll go first." Song Xintong touched their heads and said, "come to our house to play with Dabao when you have time."

"Good." Duck eggs nodded.

Daya they have set up the horse, poplar will also be a hundred rabbits loaded on the carriage, song Xintong they also on the carriage.

The twins lie on the side of the car window and wave to the dog duck eggs. They shout: "duck eggs, you are coming to us."

The duck's egg shouts.

As the carriage moved away, song Xintong sat beside Lu Yunkai and looked ahead in the wind. "I left fifty taels of silver for Mr. Zhu to thank them for burning paper money for them all these years."

Of course, it was put secretly. When Zhu's family found out in the evening, they didn't know where to return it.

"Why not put more?" Lu Yunkai asked.

"I think about it, but I don't think too much is good for them." Song Xintong sat close to Lu Yunkai and said, "let's go to the town and leave the inn? Where are you staying at night? "

"But forget what day it is?" Lu Yunkai asked her with a smile.

"What festival?" Song Xintong thought about it. On the seventh day of July, "Oh, it's Qixi. I forgot it."

Lu Yunkai: "let's go to the county for Qixi."

Song Xintong hum twice, especially looking forward to going to the county.

As soon as I got back to the inn, the hostess hurriedly welcomed me: "Mr. Lu, Mrs. song, you are back."

"What's the matter with the landlady?" Asked song Xintong.

Without waiting for the landlady to speak, several people sitting at a table by the door quickly gathered around, "are you the granddaughter of the third sister?"
