Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 583: ：Kowtow

Most of the sandy land in Zhuangzi is empty and cannot produce a harvest due to drought. I plan to plant sweet potato vines at the end of the month. This crop is drought-resistant and the entire plant is useful.

Another part of the fertile land is planted with drought-tolerant food crops. It is not the worst drought yet and the growth is okay.

Back at the village house, the sun was already setting in the west.

A woman came over and reported: "Miss, there are people from Xiaoli Village near Rouge Village. I heard that the eldest lady is here, so I came here to kowtow to the eldest lady."

The acres in Rouge Village are all rented to people from Xiaoli Village for farming.

The past two years have not been good, and it has been a period of recession. Many farmers in other villages are struggling to survive. Almost every household in Xiaoli Village has a lot of grain reserves.

It’s all because of the eldest lady’s kindness.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment: "Invite everyone in!"

She originally thought that at most there would be a steward and a few quick-witted villagers, but who knew that as soon as they were invited into the courtyard, there were dozens of people, filling the small courtyard, which was not big or small. It’s also filled to the brim.

When the group saw Yu Youyao, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed without explanation.

The person taking the lead was the steward of Xiao Lizhuang. He was about fifty years old and wore a pair of clothes that were neither new nor old, but very neat.

This reminded Yu Youyao of Zhou Yongchang, the steward of Xiaozhouzhuang three years ago.

As a steward, Zhou Yongchang wore silk material and looked grand.

This manager Li is very frugal and appears to be loyal.

Guan Li said: "The past two years have been bad, and every household has had a hard time. Xiaoli Village also relies on the blessing of the eldest lady, so that life can be more stable. The people in the village know that the eldest lady is here. , I just want to come over and kowtow to the eldest lady."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others below all spoke words of gratitude.

"Da Lizhuang next door has already run out of food. The people in the first village go to the mountains every day to dig wild vegetables and scrape tree bark, waiting for the harvest in the second half of the year to survive. The eldest lady is kind-hearted and paid the tenant money in advance, and also reminded Let’s stock up on food earlier..."

"In Wangjia Village ahead, I heard that some people eat Guanyin soil. If it weren't for the eldest lady..."

"The eldest lady is also kind-hearted. Not only does she sell the food on the farm to us at a discount, but she also lets us go up the mountain to cut down and plant trees, so that the family can earn more money..."

"..."

Yu Youyao listened to their chatter, but she did not expect that the impact of the drought had been so great.

If the national treasury is abundant and the government is clear and clear, I think someone will come to the court to report the disasters in various places and prepare to open warehouses to provide food.

But now, during the lean period, there is no movement from the court. It will be until the disaster spreads widely that the court will have to take measures.

By then, the tragedy has been caused, and how many families have been destroyed?

The nobles in Beijing don't like to make noises, so Manager Li quickly stopped the chatter: "Country people don't have rules. If you bump into the eldest lady, please forgive me."

Yu Youyao shook her head: "Everyone, get up quickly. I heard Grandma Yue mention that over the years, Xiaoli Village has worked **** the farm and has a good way of taking care of the crops. It's you who raise the ridges and plant the sweet potatoes. I just went over to take a look. The sweet potato vines are growing well. Since you work hard, I can still afford a bite of food, so there is no need to give such a big gift!"

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

Guanshi Li said excitedly: "Miss, please don't worry. We, Xiaoli Village, have been working on Rouge Village for generations. We are all good at handling the crops, and we will definitely do a good job."

Yu Youyao nodded: "This is the first year of planting sweet potatoes in the field. There is a drought this year, so it is not easy to plant crops. I ask you to work harder and take more care of them."

Guanshi Li quickly said: "We are all people who grow crops, and we can definitely grow sweet potatoes."

Before, Grandma Yue took some root pieces as big as her fist and told him that this kind of crop can produce three or four fruits on one vine. Plant and let them plant carefully.

As soon as he heard about the large yield of sweet potatoes, he became interested.

When the potato vine sprouted, he pinched a handful of young leaves, returned home, blanched them in boiling water, added a little oil, simmered them in a pot, picked them up and tasted them. They turned out to be better than many wild vegetables. It’s delicious, and I’m still very hungry after I throw a handful of corn into it.

How could he not be interested in crops that can be eaten whole?

People in Zhuangzi also dare not be careless.

Yu Youyao smiled and nodded, thinking that they had to walk a short distance to come from Xiaoli Village. The sun was also tilted now, and it would be dark when they got home.

He then told Grandma Yue to prepare some pancakes in the kitchen and then leave after eating.

Guanshi Li and others are grateful again.

Others in Xiaoli Village also met Yu Youyao for the first time. Although this eldest lady was dressed in an imposing manner, she was very gentle in her treatment of others. She spoke in a gentle voice and did not put on airs. She was really What a good man!

Yu Youyao returned to the inner room.

Aunt Yue said: "The people from Xiaoli Village gave the eldest lady some wild products, a basket of eggs, and ten hens. What do you want to do with them?"

These things were probably cobbled together by Xiao Lizhuang.

Yu Youyao was a little surprised: "It's what they want ~IndoMTL.com~ Just accept it. When I leave tomorrow, I will take it back to the house. I folded some items and gave them to Manager Li in money. Let him handle it by himself, and let the kitchen prepare some more pancakes for them to take back."

Grandma Yue understood that pancakes consume oil and the dough for pancakes is also real food. The young lady asked them to take more of them back and eat them with their relatives at home. Although life in Xiaolizhuang is passable, it must be a long time. I have never seen any smell of oil, and I have never eaten real grains.

Don’t neglect doing good deeds because they are small.

A person's kindness always grows from small to big. If you can't even see the small kindness, it is not true kindness.

Yu Youyao rested one night at Rouge Manor, and at dawn the next day, she had already driven her carriage back home.

Back at the house, it was already noon.

After freshening up, Yu Youyao felt a little more energetic. Liu'er helped the young lady wring out her hair and took jasmine hair oil to help her grow her hair.

Xia Tao came over: "The third young lady went back home yesterday, and she brought a little girl with her, named Baiye. Seeing that Baiye was smart, the third young lady took her into the room and planned to take care of her. ”

This is not a big deal, I have to tell the eldest lady.

Yu Youyao nodded thoughtfully: "Since the seventh aunt didn't stop her, she has a clear background and a clean family background. She is the third daughter of the Yu Mansion. She has fallen in love with a maid and wants to take her into her room. It's natural. , Moreover, since Fenxiang transferred away from Yu Jianjia, although she does not lack people to take care of her, she still lacks someone who can be considerate."
