Chapter 216 Buy someone? (Happy New Year)
216 Buying someone?
Sun Youcai repeatedly admitted his mistakes: "Oh, it's my little uncle who made a mistake. Little uncle shouldn't believe our family Tongtong. My little uncle admits his mistake to Tongtong. From now on, whatever Tongtong says, my little uncle will listen to you, okay?"
Zhao Zhitong then grinned, showing two cute dimples, and nodded: "Okay, what my little uncle said, from now on, I will listen to Tongtong."
…
A three-color peony completely conquered my uncle.
Following Zhao Zhitong's suggestion, he grafted three peonies in the field and five ordinary peonies.
Sun Youcai originally wanted to graft all of them into three-color peonies, but was stopped by Zhao Zhitong.
These peonies are all watered by the spiritual spring water in her space, and the seeds they will bear will definitely be good, and she wants to save them.
Sun Youcai is now Zhao Zhitong who listens to everything.
In order to prevent the peonies from blooming and attracting others to covet them, Sun Youcai also erected fences around the field and came to the field several times a day to check.
The peony field is very close to their orchard, both on the same slope.
The fruit trees in the orchard have been watered twice with spiritual spring water, and they have grown a lot now. Dad said that they will be able to receive fruit after another two years.
Now around the orchard, Zhao Dong has planted pepper trees one after another.
However, this is definitely not safe, and my uncle's peony garden is not safe either.
So after returning, Zhao Zhitong found Zhao Dong: "Daddy, should we buy a servant?"
Zhao Dong was taken aback: "Huh? Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
The little girl was still laughing at Qiao Muchen a few days ago, and always wanted the little book boy to follow her. Why did she suddenly want to be servant again?
Zhao Zhitong said in a childish voice: "Daddy, little uncle's peony garden is about to bloom. What if someone picks it then? And our orchard also needs someone to look at it."
Zhao Dong couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He also thought about whether to buy a few servants to look after the home.
However, I always feel that now is not the time.
They just built such a big house, if they bought another person, it would be too ostentatious.
At this moment, a figure of a person suddenly appeared in his mind, and suddenly he saw it, and he had an idea.
"Daddy?" Seeing Zhao Dong in a daze, Zhao Zhitong tugged at his sleeve and shook it: "Daddy, what are you thinking?"
Zhao Dong came back to his senses, smiled and said: "I think what Tong Tong said is right, it is time to find someone to help us look after the orchard and peony garden."
—
In the next few days, the little uncle still went to the fields nervously every day to watch.
Zhao Dong also went to the Wu family. He still lives next to the cemetery in the back mountain, hunting for a living every day.
When Zhao Dong came to find him, he happened to come back with two rabbits in his arms. After seeing Zhao Dong, a stiff smile appeared unconsciously on his face that never smiled.
Immediately put down the rabbit and rushed into the house, took out two rabbit skins, and stuffed them into Zhao Dong's arms: "Here you are."
He speaks very little, and when in contact with Zhao Dong, he often speaks only a few words.
Zhao Dong didn't refuse, happily took it, and handed a bag of flour to Wuhan University, and said with a smile: "Wu University, you should have heard about the fact that I planted fruit trees on the several acres of sloping land in my house, right? Need someone to watch the orchard for me."
"After thinking about it, I thought of you. I think this job is very suitable for you. I will hire you to look after my orchard. I will pay you and give you 600 copper coins a month. What do you think?"
Wu University shook his head, just when Zhao Dong thought that Wu University was unwilling, he saw him and said, "I don't want copper coins."
Said and looked at the face: "Just give me something to eat."
Zhao Dong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled cheerfully: "Don't worry about that, if you show me the orchard, I will not only give you copper coins, but also take care of your three meals a day."
Wu University shook his head and was unwilling to ask for copper coins: "I, it's useless for me to ask for that copper coin."
Zhao Dong insisted on giving him the copper coin: "Hey, what are you talking about, you can't always be like this, you have to save the copper coin, and when the time comes, find a decent place, build a house, clean up yourself, marry a wife, and take care of yourself." Just live."
Unexpectedly, the big old man of Wuhan University, who is five big and three thick, would blush rarely after hearing about marrying a wife.
Finally, under Zhao Dong's persuasion, Wuhan University agreed.
However, Zhao Dong still decided to build a small house between the orchard and the peony garden, where Wuhan University can live at night.
After all, there are many people who will do bad things at night.
After the matter was confirmed, Zhao Dong immediately started to act. He first went to Zhang Jinbao and asked him to help customize some bricks and tiles.
You don’t need to look for the land to buy it. The land is within the land reclamation zone. You just need to find the village head and put it under his name. At that time, dig a hole and expand the fruit forest.
Because the house to be built is a small one, the project is not big, and it was completed in less than half a month.
At the beginning of June, Wuhan University moved in, and my uncle didn't have to go to the fields to see peonies every day.
However, at this time, the peonies are almost past their flowering period, but because the peonies in their field are watered with spiritual spring water, Ren Jiu blooms very beautifully at the moment.
Especially those three three-color peonies bloom beautifully.
Sun Youcai is so excited, walking with wind these few days.
When they arrived at Zhao Zhitong's rest, they made an appointment. They went to the county town to sell peonies, and went to Shili Village to find the embroiderer Yunniang.
The people who went to the county this time were so mighty.
The story of Auntie and Li has spread throughout the village. Many gossips were pointing and pointing at their aunts behind their backs.
Especially the grandson Ma’s daughter-in-law, Guan Pozi, she finally caught a sore spot of grandma. When she was at home, she deliberately and loudly satirized my aunt.
Hearing those gossips in my aunt's ears made her very depressed.
Sun Youcai wanted to take his aunt out to relax.
Secondly, Sun Mei wanted to find a master embroiderer for Zhao Ya. She had already heard about it from Zhao Zhitong. My aunt knew a master embroiderer who was very good at embroidery, so she thought of taking this opportunity to look for it.
As for Sun Daqing and his children, they all pestered and wanted to go.
However, there were too many children, so grandma naturally disagreed. In the end, Sun Daqing pitifully asked Zhao Zhitong to intercede, and grandma finally let go: "All right, all right, just in time, there is a big temple fair in the east of the city these few days, this year's fair A few of the children didn’t make it to the small temple fair, so this time they all went to play and let the wind go, gaining a lot of experience.”
I could go as soon as I heard it, and the little guys were excited in an instant. They were so happy that they jumped up and down, and they didn't know how to express their joy.
At this time, grandma suddenly spoke again: "The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law should follow along, let's all go and have fun, and take care of the children by the way."
The faces of the eldest aunt and the younger aunt immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, mother!"
They may not have been to the county seat for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Zhitong blinked and looked at grandma: "Grandma, grandma, you and grandpa should go together too. My mother said that the temple fair is very lively. There are some people singing big plays, and there are many snacks. Some grandpa and grandma like to eat pea stuffing."
I wish you a happy new year in advance~
