After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

The next day, Yingbao arranged for Chuchu to help her open up wasteland and expand the vegetable garden.

The original vegetable field was too small, and my parents were too busy, and I couldn't move it alone, so I had to ask for help.

Facts have proved that she was not mistaken, this Chuchu is very capable, not only works quickly but also is very careful.

She cut the weeds first, and then started digging the ground, digging out the grass roots and shrub roots, shaking off the soil and throwing it into a pile.

While digging, Chu Chu broke up the soil and picked out all the pebbles, making the ground soft and smooth.

Ying Bao was very satisfied and immediately gave her a boiled egg.

Chu Chu took the egg and her eye circles were red, she thanked in a low voice: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, let's eat quickly. Oh, by the way, you can pick out some vegetables and eat them when you cook in the future. I'll bring you some salt later."

It's not that Yingbao doesn't keep her at home for board and lodging, but because of Chuchu's special status, he can't take her home and let her eat at the same table with her parents.

"Yeah." Chu Chu carefully peeled off the eggshell, and didn't lose any of the egg white sticking to the eggshell, so she picked it all off and ate it.

Yingbao ran home and picked up a dark kohlrabi, put some salt in a small earthenware bowl, and sent it to the hut.

Now the thatched hut has been neatly tidied up, and the bedding is neatly folded.

On the ground outside the thatched hut, Chu Chu also used stones to prop up a simple small stove, picked up a lot of dry firewood and piled them beside it, and usually used pots to cook on this small stove.

Of course, all the Huozhezi were given by Yingbao.

On this day, Erni ran over, grabbed Yingbao and walked back, saying as she walked, "Sister Dani wants to ask you a question."

Of course Yingbao knew what Dani wanted to ask, and she had already thought about what to say.

When I came to the uncle's house, I saw Dani glaring at her angrily, "Yingbao, why did you keep that girl from the Chu family?"

Ying Bao smiled and said, "I hired her to help me with the work."

Dani was speechless. "Why hire her? You don't know that she is the Chu family's replacement."

Ying Bao blinked, "What a substitute, brother Dacheng doesn't have a marriage certificate with her. Now she has an employment relationship with our Jiang family, nothing else."

Dani: ...

Indeed, my elder brother and this woman did not have a marriage certificate, and this woman worked for the third uncle's Yingbao, not for me.

Dani's face softened slightly, and she muttered, "Then you can't keep her either."

Yingbao: "If I don't keep her, she won't go home and sleep in the haystack at night, what if something happens?"

Dani froze for a moment and remained silent.

Zhou and her husband in the room looked at each other and sighed. "We might not be as thorough as Yingbao, alas."

Jiang Dalang: "You and I were also angry for a while, but thinking about it now, the child of the Chu family is a girl after all, and we can't let her stay outside alone. Our Nanpo is deserted. If something happens, it will be really troublesome." .”

"It's not a bad idea from the Chu family, hey, let's go with Yingbao, as long as it doesn't involve Dacheng." Zhou felt exhausted physically and mentally.

Jiang Dalang comforted: "With Yingbao watching, Dacheng will not be implicated no matter what, don't worry."

...

In the next few days, Chu Chu kept working hard, and quickly opened a large vegetable field.

After the vegetable field was leveled, Yingbao took her to the wild bamboo forest to cut bamboo and dragged her back. She cut off the bamboo branches and left bamboo poles to stick around the vegetable field.

When inserting the bamboo fence, Yingbao asked to include the hut too.

After the bamboo fence was planted and the vegetable fields were sown with vegetables, it was already May, and the Jiang family began to harvest golden ears.

Yingbao's golden ears matured a little earlier than their father's, and more than half of them had already been harvested.

After Chu Chu watched carefully for half a day, she was able to master it well, and it was faster than Ying Bao.

So Yingbao let her do it, and he started to divide the fungus.

This busy is several days.

The golden fungus dried out after being exposed to the scorching sun for a few days. Yingbao put them in a bucket and moved them into the warehouse at home for storage.

By this time, the work that Yingbao assigned to Chuchu had come to an end, and the next step was to pay her.

"Sister Chuchu, here are three strings of coins, you count them." Yingbao pushed the three strings of copper coins over.

Chu Chu endured her excitement, wiped her hands on the old dress again and again, and then went to get the copper coins. "Give it to me really, really?"

"Yes, this is your monthly salary, we agreed." Ying Bao said with a smile.

Sister Chu has done her a great favor. She wanted to reward her a bit more, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Chu Chu counted the copper coins one by one, jumping with joy in her heart.

She has grown up so much, she has never touched so many copper coins, and now she feels like she is dreaming.

The counting became chaotic, Chu Chu didn't count any more, but started to cry while holding the copper coins.

It's what she's earned, a lot of money she's earned on her own.

"Yingbao, I, can I really take all this money away?" Chuchu still couldn't believe it: "Will your parents scold you?"

"This is the reward you deserve. Why do my parents scold me?"

Ying Bao patted Chu Chu's shoulder and said earnestly, "If you continue to work with me in the future, I will pay you back."

Chu Chu nodded vigorously: "I will follow you!"

After hesitating for a while, Qiqi asked Aiai: "Yingbao, I... can I go home first?"

"Of course." Ying Bao nodded: "The summer harvest is coming soon, and I will give you a one-month farm leave."

Chuchu jumped up happily, hugged Yingbao tightly, choked up and said, "Thank you Yingbao."

Early the next morning, Chu Chu came out of the hut with her small package on her back, closed the door, and walked briskly out of the bamboo fence.

Looking up, he saw a mule cart parked in front of him, Xiao Yingbao, her two little brothers and her mother were sitting on the shaft and smiling at herself.

"Hurry up and get in the car, we'll take you home." Chunniang said with a smile.

These days, she can also see that this girl is really nice.

Honest and hardworking, not afraid of losing money, he is a good boy.

Chu Chu pursed her lips tightly, gave a low hum, and climbed onto the mule cart.

Wiping away tears secretly, Chu Chu raised a smiling face and talked to Chun Niang: "Auntie, thank you."

Chun Niang scolded: "Silly boy, thank you, we are going to the town, and we will take you home by the way."

"Yeah." Chu Chu nodded.

She knew that Aunt Xu said that on purpose, because Chushan Village was not in the same direction as the town.

This trip was driven by Yingbao.

The mule also listened to her, and didn't even need to swing his whip. He started to run quickly with all four hooves, without being lazy at all.

The mule cart soon arrived at Chushan Village and stopped at the door of Chu Laoshi's house.

As soon as Chu Chu jumped out of the car, he saw his younger brother Chu Qing rushing towards him. "Sister! Sister!"

Chu Qing threw herself into her sister's arms and burst into tears.

Chuchu also cried, hugged her younger brother and asked this and that.

Yingbao only took one look, then drove the mule cart away with a whip.

When passing by a young man, he couldn't help staring at him for a moment.

Chu Yan?

Really Chu Yan!

I saw that he was slender and stern. Although his face was still full of childishness, his demeanor was unmistakable.

The young man turned his head to look at her, only for a moment he turned his gaze back, and ran towards Chu Chu quickly.

The mule cart passed by him, went further and further away, and gradually disappeared into the distance.
