Happy peasant girl

Chapter 147
"Jasmine, those who leave later will give them two taels of silver. It's almost Chinese New Year, so they can go home and have a good New Year. In addition, we will send our family's carriage to take them back separately, so the road doesn't have to be so hard. " Lin Qingxi whispered to Jasmine.

For the girls sent over from Pingling County, Mo Li, their hearts are always with Lin Qingxi, and now they are even more loyal to Lin Qingxi, even if there is no death contract, they will not leave her.

"Yes, girl, Jasmine knows!" Even if such a good master is a peasant girl, Jasmine is willing to follow her. Although farming is hard, she is happier than anyone else when it comes to harvesting. Said happiness.

"Girl, I won't leave! Little Fuzi is an orphan, and now Dameishan is my home, and the girl is my relative, and Xiaofuzi's roots are here." Regardless of what others do, Lin Shifu does not intend to leave Linqing creek.

"Girl, I'm not leaving either!" Although Lin Qingxi has not been very close to her since Jasmine and the girls appeared, Lin Liule has long fallen in love with Linjia Village and the life here. She is an orphan like Lin Shifu, and this is also her home.

"I'm not going either, girl, I'll return this deed of sale to you!" Lin Wuan directly handed her deed of sale to Jasmine who was beside Lin Qingxi. Like Lin Liule, she had long regarded this place as her own. s home.

"I will send off those who want to leave, and welcome those who don't want to leave, but I still want to tell you solemnly, no matter whether you choose to leave or stay, there is an opportunity - only this time, if you miss it, you will be my servants for the rest of your life , your children and grandchildren are also my slaves, so you must think clearly!"

Lin Qingxi also understands in her heart that her last words will be the key to decide whether these people will leave or stay. After all, no one wants their children and grandchildren to be other people's domestic slaves.

She doesn't care how many people will stay in the end, because it will not be so easy to become her domestic slaves and people she wants to use in the future!
Under the multiple pressures of poverty, hunger, war, and death, the ancient people yearned for freedom so much that Linqingxi was amazed. Only 110 of the 36 people were willing to stay, and 22 of them were sent from Pingling County. The four were the four orphans she took in on the way back to Beijing, and the remaining ten were "gifts" received by Linqingxi back then, and these ten were all orphans.

Those who leave with the deed of selling their lives include Lin Daan and Lin Dashou, who are hard-working and capable people, but Lin Qingxi also understands that they have concerns in their hearts, and this concern will always make their hearts restless, it is better to let go. They leave.

More than 70 people left at once. Even if Linjia Village is quiet, many people have heard about it. They all think that the reason why these people left is that the old Linjia can't support so many people. It seems that Linqingxi didn't To tell the truth, she really bought land with all the money she earned during these days.

The yard of Dameishan became much quieter, the bonfire was about to burn out, and it was getting dark.

"Jasmine, ask someone to light the bonfire again. You and Qiangwei are going to cook dinner. I will eat with you today." Lin Qingxi didn't feel any loss or sadness in her heart. Like starting a business with money, it is full of vision and drive for the future.

Dinner is very simple. They grow vegetables from their own fields and soybean cakes made from soybeans. Although the old Lin family no longer eats black noodles, they also eat less white noodles, and even less rice. Soybeans have gradually become the staple food.

After eating, Linqingxi asked someone to heat up the bonfire again, and then she asked Jasmine to bring a small square stool, and stood on the stool herself, which made her look a lot taller.

"I am very happy that you can stay. Although the life of the peasant family is hard, I believe that you are not afraid of hardship just like me. I don't know what your previous identities were. Maybe you are the children of farmers like me, maybe Sons of merchants, maybe you were beggars, anyway, you have experienced hardships that I have not experienced, and I hope that from this moment on, you can choose to forget and treat those as another person's life. After tonight, you all There will be a new name, and I will re-arrange things for you." Lin Qingxi plans to start from scratch, so those who follow her should also have a new start.

So, she asked the girl to be named after the flower and the boy to be named after the tree.Fortunately, among the 36 people left, the ratio of male to female is about the same.

Lin Liule and Lin Wu'an were renamed Mujin and Linglan, Lin Shifu was renamed Dongqing, Lin Qixi and Lin Liuan who chose to stay were renamed Baihua and Baiyang, and the four orphans who were taken in on the way back to Beijing were renamed Guo Huai, Huang Huai, black pine and red pine.

The next day, just as Linyuan Mountain predicted in advance, it snowed heavily again.Linqingxi finished breakfast, put on Mu's ragged coat and went to the courtyard of Dameishan.

The servants on the Dameishan side would not go to Lao Lin's house unless necessary. Their range of activities was very narrow, almost near the courtyard of Dameishan.

When they arrived, Jasmine and the girls were sitting in the room learning how to embroider, and Bai Hua and the men were cleaning the farm tools under the eaves. When they saw Linqingxi coming in, they all stood up respectfully.

"You are busy with your work, I will call you when I have something to do!" Lin Qingxi smiled, and walked into the room of Jasmine and the girls.

"Girl, it's snowing so hard, why are you here?" It's inconvenient to do anything in snowy weather, let alone work in the fields. Besides, the fields are frozen hard now, even iron plows are useless in those wastelands.

"Jasmine, you, Qiangwei, Hibiscus and Lily of the Valley come with me first." For Lin Qingxi, 36 people are not too small. She has a lot of land under her name, but she doesn't need her own people to do it. We must train these 36 people to be our own capable men, and let them be one against a hundred.

Four girls of about the same age followed Lin Qingxi into another room. It was a house specially prepared for Lin Qingxi. All hot.

After Lin Qingxi sat down on the kang, she asked the four girls to sit on the kang as well, but instead of sitting down, they brought stools to sit on the edge of the kang.

"Jasmine, Qiangwei, Hibiscus, and Lily of the Valley, although the four of you come from different places, you are all orphans with the same illness. If you choose to stay and follow me, you also choose to treat each other as relatives. Through this period of getting along, I like you four very much, so I hope you four can follow me in the future, and I will teach you as much as I know, are you willing?" Lin Qingxi's voice was soft and low.

"Girl, Mu Jin is willing!" Mu Jin was the first to express that she wanted to follow Lin Qingxi. She thought Lin Qingxi didn't like her.
