Chapter 230 Can’t Wait
Xifeng was pulled into the room by Sophora japonica with a face full of surprise, "Twenty cents a day! What kind of work do you need this money for?"
Twenty cash can buy more than seven kilograms of millet, and even three kilograms of white rice. When repairing the city wall last year, the day's wages were only more than ten kilograms.
"The master said that we are good at farming, so let's go and grow seedlings." Sophora japonica pulled her to sit on the kang, "Are you going?"
"Go!" Xifeng said, "It's not like we don't know how to farm. This is money given to us by the county master! If we don't take it, it won't be a waste of the county master's kindness."
Sophora japonica couldn't help but nod.
Xifeng approached Huaihua again and asked, "Sister Huaihua, it was you who said good things about me in front of the county master. Thank you for thinking of me."
Huaihua waved her hand, "Where is I? It's the county master who wants you by name."
This made Xifeng puzzled, "Can the county master still remember me as a person?"
"Hey, this county master doesn't know anything." Huaihua also said this before she remembered, "Didn't you see that when we were farming last year, the master squatted in the field with a stack of paper and kept taking notes? Well, you must have been diligent at that time and he remembered it.
It doesn't matter if you go, we can be your companions, otherwise I would feel guilty going to the county government office alone. ”
Xifeng agreed, "Yes, it just so happens that I can be your companion."
"You have to go there early tomorrow."
Huaihua was so happy that she didn't sleep well all night. She got up before dawn the next day to get ready. Knowing that she was going to do farm work, she brought all the tools she used at home.
After getting something to eat, she finally waited until dawn. She wrapped herself in a thick cotton-padded jacket and couldn't wait to go to Xifeng's house.
As soon as she knocked on the door, Xifeng ran out quickly and seemed to be ready.
"Let's go?" Huaihua asked.
"Let's go!" Xifeng also carried a basket of tools and walked huddled together with Huaihua, "Sister Huaihua, when did you make this coat? Why haven't I seen you wearing it?"
"I wore it once during the Chinese New Year day." Sophora flower wiped the skirt of her clothes, "I don't usually wear it."
While talking, the two came to the west gate of the county government office.
On the way here, the two of them were worried that they would have to wait at the door for a while as they arrived too early, but they didn't expect that there was already someone waiting outside the door.
Bafang didn't even eat breakfast, so he just waited here and practiced boxing. It wasn't that he voluntarily worked so hard. It was because he didn't want to practice boxing, so Xi Bei had to train him.
Seeing someone coming from a distance, Bafang stopped moving, straightened his clothes and waited by the door.
Although Huaihua walked half a step ahead, she was speechless when she saw Bafang. It was Xifeng who spoke first, "Ba Ye."
"Here we come." Bafang said, "Come in with me."
The two of them walked in and saw high brick walls on both sides. They walked on the road paved with blue bricks. After walking for a long time, they saw a half-open wooden door. The wooden door was so tall that they were scared to go in. Look inside.
Then walking forward, they entered an archway.
"Master!" Bafang walked to the back of the study and started shouting, "They are coming!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Changqing put down the official document he was writing, put on his robe and walked out quickly.
"You two." Meng Changqing asked with a smile in front of him: "You are so early, I will take you to have breakfast first."
"No, no, no," Huaihua quickly declined, "We ate at home."
"Okay, then come with me." Meng Changqing led them to the newly built greenhouse. "There are a lot of seeds. You may be busy for a while. If you are in an emergency and cannot come, just say hello to Bafang in advance."
< br>
"Alas."
"Please come to the county government to work. The county government will guarantee your three meals a day, so that you can work at home." Meng Changqing continued: "Besides you, I have also found two people in Luojia Village. From now on, you can work together. If you don't understand anything, just tell Bafang. "After entering the greenhouse, it is much warmer inside than outside. There are many windows open to the sun. The thin paper on the windows can let in the light from the outside. They are close to the windows. Many more wooden frames were placed.
Meng Changqing took them in and demonstrated in person what to do. The methods of raising seedlings for each type of seed were different, but the overall difference was similar.
In other words, it means constantly planting seeds, covering with soil, and sprinkling water. In addition, adding firewood to the greenhouse and changing the windows when there is a strong wind.
Meng Changqing was halfway through teaching when two people from Luojiacun came and just finished teaching together. She watched them work for a while and made sure there were no problems before she returned to the study to deal with other things.
The frozen soil has melted, and not only Meng Changqing is preparing for spring planting in advance, but everyone who makes a living by farming has also begun to check the conditions of the fields and seeds.
Yang Zheng knew this clearly, so he fretted at the corner of his mouth.
He was waiting in the county government office, but he didn't see a citizen coming from other counties.
Finally, he couldn't wait any longer.
Finding Meng Changqing who had just come out of the greenhouse, Yang Zheng asked for instructions: "Sir, waiting like this is not an option. I want to pick him up at the gate of Yangmen County."
"Okay, I will take over the other things you are doing and move the official documents to my study." Meng Changqing said, "Bring more people and more food with you."
"Yes." Yang Zheng took over the task assigned by Meng Changqing, but so far there has been no progress at all, and he felt very guilty.
Almost after greeting Meng Changqing, he immediately called a group of people and headed to Yangmen County.
That night, Meng Changqing originally wanted to ask him about the situation of the people's relocation, but he waited until she dozed off and she didn't come back yet.
The next morning, she grabbed the officer on duty and asked, "Has Captain Yang come back?"
"I came back at midnight last night." The Yamen servant said, "I just took the brothers to Yangmen County again."
"Did he say anything?" Meng Changqing asked.
The officer shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything."
Meng Changqing asked again: "Did he bring anyone back last night?"
"Bring it."
"Bring it! How much? Have you placed it properly?"
The officer was stunned and said, "It's just the brothers who were brought out by the captain. There was no special arrangement. We went out with him again this morning."
"I didn't make it clear." Meng Changqing looked at the person in front of him and smiled, "It's been a hard night, so go to bed early."
Meng Changqing could only suppress the anxious emotions in her heart. She knew that once her emotions were released, Yang Zheng would be even more anxious.
When people are anxious, they often do many stupid things.
Thinking about this, she went to the greenhouse to look around as usual, said hello to the four people working inside, and then returned to the study to have breakfast with Bafang.
"I'll go out with Master later, and you stay at the county office and watch over me."
Hearing this, Bafang didn't even want to eat the burrito, "If you don't ask Lai Cai to watch, I will still follow you."
"People outside the yamen don't know Laicai very well." Meng Changqing said, "You have to work harder and look after me."
Meng Changqing said that he would not look for other reasons and stayed in the county government honestly.
After breakfast, Meng Changqing took Xi Bei and two imperial guards and walked to the south of the Yamen. She held the map she drew in her hand and constantly compared it with the situation on the scene.
