Xianggong farming

Chapter 200
Pumpkin attracts Qi Silang even more than the number one scholar. Seeing that she was afraid that his mother would seek trouble, Qi Silang hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, as long as you promise to let me follow suit, I guarantee that mother will not come to trouble you."

"Don't, don't, uncle, you know, I'm afraid of my mother-in-law, and I really dare not go against her, so don't embarrass my sister-in-law."

Seeing Ji Xinmiao rejecting him with a few 'don't' words in a row, Qi Silang asked sadly: "Sister-in-law, if I can really guarantee that mother will not come to see you, you can't accept me?"

Qi Silang is a literate man, although his temperament is spoiled by Qi Li, his nature is not bad.After all, he is still a 14-year-old child, so there is still time for him to learn well.And according to Ji Xinmiao's future plan, she will really need Qi Silang in the future.But if she agreed casually, wouldn't it bother her to death if Mrs. Qi and Li came to pester her in the future?
"Sister-in-law, I beg you Shiro, if my mother comes looking for trouble in the future, can you use me to block her? I really want to learn how to grow pumpkins from you, and I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, so you can accept me OK?"

Seeing the appearance of a young man like this, Ji Xinmiao thought for a long time before saying: "The fourth brother said that he wants to learn, and the elder sister-in-law can't disagree. But this matter is not sure, and whether it can be done is another matter. So, this matter is temporary. Can’t reveal it yet, can you not tell anyone?”

Qi Shilang nodded immediately after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, I promise to do this!"

But in order for this helper to be really useful in the future, Ji Xinmiao asked everything he could think of, and finally asked, "What if Mother asks you?"

After a moment of surprise, Qi Silang immediately promised: "No one will ask anyone. If sister-in-law doesn't believe me, I can swear."

Ji Xinmiao smiled: "It's really not necessary to swear, I believe in the fourth brother. The fourth brother is a scholar, and everything is low-grade. Only reading is good. A scholar has this integrity. I can trust it. If the fourth brother wants to learn from us We can teach you how to grow pumpkins, but you don’t have to grow them yourself this year, you will get a portion of our family’s four or five acres of land.”

When Qi Silang heard this, he quickly declined: "Sister-in-law, I will learn from you this year. I don't want to share, and I can't ask for a share."

This child has not been completely distorted by Qi Li.

Ji Xinmiao smiled and asked: "You learn how to grow pumpkins with us, and you can't tell anyone, not even mother. If mother wants to see you help my family every day, won't you make a fuss? Otherwise, let dad plant your cotton field. How about you, your eldest brother will teach dad how to do it. You, just follow us to plant this pumpkin. No matter how well you grow, how about I give you a tael of silver a month? ?”

"No! If sister-in-law counts with me like this, then I won't learn skills from you. People who learn skills bring master's money, but you don't have master's money to pay for it. It's unreasonable! If you want to give it, you can give it according to the sky. Twenty big coins a day, so my mother has nothing to say." Qi Silang was shocked when he heard the salary of one tael a month, and he thought that Ji Xinmiao had taught him how to grow pumpkins in a false way.

Well, the child is still saved.It takes about four months for this watermelon to grow from seedlings to maturity, and the effect is quick.If you really earn money, just give him a red envelope.

When Qi Dalang came in, he happened to see Qi Silang going out, and he asked suspiciously: "Daughter-in-law, what is fourth brother doing here?"

Ji Xinmiao smiled: "What else can I do? I want to pester you to go up the mountain to learn hunting. I said you don't have time to go up the mountain now, so he said he would help us with work. How dare I ask him to help our family Doing things? It’s not that I don’t want to be clean anymore. So I told him that we were going to grow pumpkins so that he wouldn’t miss it. Who knows…”

Seeing his daughter-in-law cheating, Qi Dalang glared at her with anger: "I don't know that he is entangled with you and you want to learn how to grow pumpkins, right? I don't know you yet, you little fox, you are probably trying to lure him to entangle you on purpose." right?"

Ji Xinmiao laughed "hehe" and said, "My husband-in-law knows me well! Today I want to plant five acres of pumpkins, and my husband-in-law has to go to Jiang's house to help. I feel distressed if you do all this work by yourself. Can you find me?" Others, I don’t worry about it. Besides, the fourth uncle can read and do accounts, if he can sincerely follow us in the future, this helper will come!”

Qi Dalang pinched her little nose fondly and asked: "Aren't you afraid that mother will come to make trouble?"

Ji Xinmiao squinted: "If he can't settle this matter, of course I won't invite him!"

"You! Sometimes you are very smart, and sometimes you are soft-hearted like a kitten. If the fourth brother is disobedient after learning the skills, it depends on you!"

"Hey, you really don't have to worry about this. I will observe him while working. He is still a child, and he is spoiled by his mother-in-law so carelessly. I believe that after a while, I will be able to understand his character." Ji Xinmiao said proudly that she just couldn't tell him that she had majored in psychology in college and had seen a lot of Zhouyi, and she was optimistic about Qi Silang.

And there is another secret that Ji Xinmiao Zhizhi would marry Qi Dalang willingly at that time, and his appearance played a key role.

Qi Silang knew Qi Li Shi better than anyone else. He went back and told Qi Li Shi that he would learn farming and hunting from Qi Dalang, and that he could get a salary of [-] yuan. Qi Li Shi really agreed.It's just that she muttered: "The two of them are also embarrassed? My brothers help them with work, and they only pay [-] yuan a month. At least it can't be less than [-] yuan, right?"

"Mother, I don't know anything. I have to learn everything from my elder brother and sister-in-law. Others have to pay the master's money to learn from the apprentice. You don't appreciate the salary given by the sister-in-law for the sake of your brother, but you hate the lack of money." ? Do you have too much heart! "

When Qi Li heard this, he twisted his face: "What's the matter if I have a big heart? Isn't all the money I saved is for you? Anyway, they have a lot of money on hand, and it won't kill them if they give more money to their brothers!"

Seeing his mother being so unreasonable, Qi Shilang sat on the threshold as soon as he heard it. He knew where her weakness was, so Sarai said: "If this is the case, then I won't go anywhere! I won't learn anything, just go Playing at home, not doing any work."

Although Qi Li could not bear his son's work, he was even more reluctant to bear the money.He was so frightened that he hurriedly coaxed Qi Shilang: "Good Shiro, isn't this mother complaining for you? You are a child who has studied. People who have studied so many books help them work, shouldn't they pay more for you?" you?"

It was only then that Qi Silang felt that his own mother was really good at getting around, but he had a way to deal with her, so he asked her: "Mother, if you hire labor, do you hire someone who has studied or someone who has not?"

Qi Li went straight to the exit: "Of course, please people who have never read! What can people who have studied do? You can't lift your shoulders or lift your hands."

Qi Silang stared at her blankly and said: "So mother knows too! Then what do you think elder brother and sister-in-law spend six hundred dollars a month to hire me, a scholar, to do?"

Qi Li immediately froze in place.
