Chapter 612 She Likes the Scene

Bai Yunxi just smiled at Cui Zhangmo's idea, as long as you are happy.

The next day, Xiaowu brought the prepared gifts and benevolence to visit Chang Xiucai.

The two should have had a good chat. It was not until dusk that Xiaowu came back and brought back the books that Chang Xiucai prepared for him, all of which were for the college entrance examination.

Moreover, Bai Yunxi also found that after Xiaowu met Chang Xiucai, his eyes were full of confidence and he looked very motivated. After asking, he learned that Xiaowu was asked about his homework on the spot by Chang Xiucai and asked him to do a test paper.

After Chang Xiucai corrected it, he praised it greatly and said that if he had this ability, he would be able to win the college entrance examination.

Chang Xiucai's praise was very encouraging to Xiaowu, and he was more anxious and determined to do his best.

"Since Chang Xiucai has so much confidence in you, you should prepare well at home for this period of time, and wait until the beginning of next spring to show your hand."

"Don't worry, mother, I will work hard." Xiaowu's eyes were firm, and he looked determined to win.

The construction site was always busy, so Bai Yunxi would go around every day to learn about the progress in time, and did not interfere with the rest.

Seeing the workers doing their own jobs and busy, Bai Yunxi had to sigh. Cui Zhangmo was really good at using people and winning the support of the people.

Then, they also welcomed the autumn harvest.

Autumn grains are the staple food of the people, with a wide variety of varieties, and are relatively more productive than wheat and rice, especially those poor lands. Except for growing beans and sweet potatoes, other crops are difficult to harvest.

Therefore, every autumn, people like to plant various sorghum, millet, beans, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes.

There are not too many varieties in Bai Yunxi's fields. In autumn, they are all sorghum and late rice, and the rest are a little sweet potatoes and beans. In addition to eating them on weekdays, they are fed to pigs and chickens.

Last time, Du helped Xiao Si raise pigs to slaughter, and Du got a total of three strings of money. Looking at the money that Xiao Si forced into her hands, Du was scared.

She was just helping, she didn't want any money.

Xiao Si insisted on giving it, but Du didn't dare to take it. When they were arguing, Bai Yunxi saw them.

Du looked at her mother-in-law, her face flushed, and she stuttered when she saw the heavy copper coins in her hand.

"Fourth brother is usually busy, and he's a boy, how can he feed pigs... I cook and wash the pot every day, so I feed them, I don't want any money."

She really didn't want money. If there was a conflict or estrangement because of this matter, she couldn't wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Bai Yunxi looked at her nervousness and chuckled.

"Feeding pigs is not an easy job. You have been the hardest worker since you helped him feed the piglets. This is what you deserve. Take it and save it for yourself or for Yaya's dowry. You can't refuse it."

"Xiao Si has never taken care of the piglets since he brought them back. If you hadn't helped him feed them, he would have starved to death, let alone sold them for money."

Hearing her mother-in-law's tone, Du Shi felt relieved, but still a little embarrassed, mainly because it was a little unexpected.

"But I..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Bai Yunxi waving his hand.

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. This money is not a loss at all."

"We are all family members. It is right to help each other."

Du Shi held the three strings of money, which was heavy, but her heart was warm. Her mother-in-law had always treated them equally, which she had known for a long time, but as the eldest sister-in-law, it was also her duty to do something for her younger brothers and sisters.

"It's okay to help at ordinary times, but Xiao Si buys piglets to make money and profit, the nature is different." Bai Yunxi comforted a few words, and it was over.

After the autumn harvest,

the land that needs to be planted with winter wheat must be turned over and cultivated immediately, and the family is busy all the time.

After the grain was stored in the warehouse, Bai Yunxi looked at the quantity and felt more confident.

After the busy time, she sold all the grain accumulated for two seasons and started the breeding farm first.

Every harvest season, the whole village is mobilized, and everyone is like chicken blood, walking with the wind. All kinds of rush to plant and harvest have been deeply rooted in the blood of farmers. No one dares to neglect, and no one is willing to be lazy.

If you are slow at this time, it will either rain or the grain will fall into the field. Less grain means hunger.

Their family had many fields, and as usual, the second son still went to the town to hire temporary workers. The few who came were all familiar faces. After more than two years of cooperation, those people knew that they were hiring temporary workers and had been waiting for them long ago.

It was also a blessing from the sky. They had just put the grain into the warehouse when they welcomed a burst of autumn rain.

For the people whose grain had already been stored, the autumn rain moistened the heaven and earth, and they took the opportunity to fertilize and turn the soil, increase the moisture of the soil, and cultivate the fields.

The progress of the duck farm was exactly as Cui Laoda planned, and it was built before the freezing.

From the start to the completion, Bai Yunxi also watched it go up, exactly as expected.

In addition to the brick and tile courtyard wall of the duck farm, the gate was used to isolate all visits from the outside world.

The surrounding land belonged to her family, and Bai Yunxi chose to use branches and bamboo to make a fence yard as a lawn for ducks to stroll.

After the duck farm was completed, Cui Zhangmo left a few people to deal with the aftermath, and the rest of the people moved to her family's newly purchased homestead to build the walls on both sides of the yard.

It only took four or five days to complete the walls on both sides, leaving doors for easy access.

Cui Zhangmo looked at Bai Yunxi with admiration in his eyes,

"Eldest sister is really far-sighted. She bought a homestead for her sons early on. In the future, the brothers will be neighbors. If there is something, they can just shout and know. It is much more convenient than living separately."

"Ahem~, there is nothing we can do about it. There are many children, so we have to prepare sooner or later."

Listening to Cui Zhangmo's tone and looking at the widened and enlarged yard in front of her, Bai Yunxi felt that she deserved it. She bought the homesteads on the left and right without thinking so much, she just wanted to be quiet.

As neighbors in the village, sometimes the mother-in-law scolds the daughter-in-law, and sometimes the daughter-in-law scolds the children. The children have loud voices and cry and howl at all times, which is very noisy.

She likes to be quiet, so she bought the surrounding area early. Even if someone becomes her neighbor in the future, there will be a certain distance and no interference.

The duck factory and the courtyard wall of the homestead cost sixty dollars to complete.

After working on the house at home, Baiyunxi went to the town again when he had time, and sold all the grain that had been stored for a year to the Xu family grain store. After making up for the money spent, there was still a lot of surplus, and he felt like this. Relaxed.

Standing in the yard of the duck factory, Baiyun Xi stepped on a bluestone brick road paved under his feet and nodded with satisfaction.

This is the bluestone brick path she specially asked Cui Zhangmo to add in order to avoid rain and snow weather, and the yard will be full of mud. One foot is deep and the other is shallow. It is uncomfortable to think about it.

Therefore, she would rather spend a few more dollars to pave the doors leading to the main house and the duck pens on both sides with bluestone.
