A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 210 A Busy Life (2)
"I don't know what my sister-in-law is going to do?" Zhao Xiangyang was more concerned about this.

"Here, look at this, brother, do you understand?" Li Xi didn't talk nonsense, and took out the blueprint he had drawn.

"Actually, I don't want a lot, but my family's chickens and ducks are so small, I must use them at this stage." Somewhat distressed, he said, "I have asked Brother Zhao Yuan from my second uncle's family to help me make some. , I want you to do the rest, brother."

Zhao Xiangyang is worthy of his craftsmanship. Although Li Xi has never seen the painting before, she nodded immediately when she asked the question: "This is not difficult, sister-in-law can rest assured."

"That's good, I want more than ten, so I'll trouble my brother." Li Xi thought for a while and said: "Brothers know how to settle accounts, this thing is not easy to make, how about twenty yuan a piece? "This kind of price is already considered high. Compared with working alone, it only costs [-] yuan a day.

"This can't be done." Zhao Xiangyang waved his hands quickly when he heard this.

"What's wrong?" Li Xi asked in surprise.

Zhao Xiangyang sighed and lowered his eyes: "Twenty cents a piece is too expensive, this is not acceptable, ten cents a piece is the real price, sister-in-law, don't talk about it anymore."

In fact, Li Xi also thinks that it is very difficult to make this thing by hand. Of course, giving such a high price can be regarded as a favor. I don’t think Zhao Xiangyang is a bit interesting. Some people’s self-esteem is not allowed to be bent, and she didn’t force it. plan.

"Since that's the case, let's go to fifteen pennies. Don't talk about it. You are the woodworker. You have to earn some hard money, don't you think?"

"I……"

"Don't talk about it, by the way, I heard from Xiangcui that your woodcarving is very good, why don't you give it to me..." The "send me one" that was about to blurt out was held in Li Xi's throat abruptly, unable to enter, Unable to get out, she choked and coughed suddenly.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you, don't worry, come and drink some water." Xiangcui didn't know why, so she helped Li Xi to sit down, and quickly poured a glass of water for her, while calming down.

"What about you? Sister-in-law?" Xiangcui asked worriedly.

"No, nothing." Li Xi was a little weak.

She didn't finish what she just said, and suddenly thought that this era is different, and she opened her mouth to ask a man to give something to a woman, especially since she is a married man who has lost the virtue of a woman, and the words that are spread are not so ugly, so she She just choked on her breath, and now that she thinks about it, it still makes her embarrassed, what is this called?

"It's fine, by the way, sister-in-law, what did you want to say just now?" Xiangcui asked innocently.

"No...it's nothing." Even if Li Xi was killed, he couldn't say it.

Zhao Xiangyang was not as easy to fool as Xiangcui, looking at Li Xi who was still panting, raised his eyebrows and thought about it, he got a clue, then turned his head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Another day later, Zhao Mu brought back all the drinking utensils for chickens and ducks made at Zhao Yuan's place from the town, and let Li Xi use them at the same time.

The chickens and ducks are under the influence of Lixi's spiritual spring water, so they are all alive and well, each of them is jumping around, twittering, I don't know how energetic it is, not only that, but also eating vigorously, so in just a few days, anyone People can tell at a glance that these chickens and ducks are strong, which completely disappoints some people who want to watch the excitement and say that so many chickens and ducks will die if they are crowded together.

In this way, after the greenhouse farming here officially started, Li Xi also got busy. Taking care of [-] chickens and ducks by herself was really too busy for her. Seeing how tired she looked, she was so distressed that she threatened to resign and come back to help her, but she was slapped back by Li Xi directly. How could she just quit if she did a good job? Moreover, she knew Zhao Mu actually likes this poor one very much.

"But you will be very tired if you are so busy alone." Zhao Mu insisted.

Li Xi is really not as tired as she imagined, and with the spiritual spring water to relieve her fatigue every day, she feels more and more energetic instead.

"How about finding someone to help you?" Zhao Mu said.

"Well, that's fine." Li Xi thought about it: "I think it's good to feed them, but these things must be kept clean, otherwise they will easily get sick. The main reason is that I can't do heavy work without you at home. of."

"It's better to find someone idle in our village to help you, otherwise you will definitely be too busy." Zhao Mu also decided: "Either I come back, or find someone." , making Li Xi dumbfounded.

"All right, all right, find someone, see who is right for you," Li Xi said.

Zhao Mu made a decision after a little thought: "Uncle Li, it's not easy for him to live alone, and he helped us when we were in trouble at first, so we should pay back."

"Okay, actually, I like it too." The two agreed and decided so happily. Uncle Li is in good health, and he is a widowed old man. He is a very suitable candidate in terms of emotion and reason.

After thinking it over, Zhao Mu went to Uncle Li's house to talk about it in person the next day, and the latter agreed on the spot after hearing it again and again. Uncle Li was alone, although he said that a few acres of land would be enough. Food and clothing, no matter how good the days are, there are not many. Now helping Li Xi raise chickens is just helping out, and there are wages, and being close to home is not going out to work. It is a satisfying job anyway, how could he not agree.

With the chickens and ducks, all the centers of Lixi have been transferred here, because there is no need to worry about them getting plague because of the spiritual spring water. After a serious illness, it is enough to feed these little things well. There are bran rice for food, plus spring water, these little things should not be too happy to eat, each of them grows plump, and I believe it will not take long for them to change.

Being so busy, it was the full moon time of my little nephew in a blink of an eye, and Li Xi suddenly realized how fast time passed.

It's September, and the weather has really turned cold. When I went to the town to buy something for my little nephew, Li Xi also went to the cloth shop to sell all the embroidered handkerchiefs and purses, and bought a few feet of cloth, as well as cotton. It's time for her to prepare her and Zhao Mu's winter clothes. She was so busy that she almost fainted. Now everything is on the right track, and Uncle Li is also familiar with the breeding process. The cooperation between the two has made it easier , and she can also spare some time to do other things.
