The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

After taking those people home, Li Mei saw that Li Yu had bought so many more people, and complained in a low voice, "How come they are all old and weak people, are they a waste of food?"

Seeing Li Mei's disgusted look, several people wanted to hide themselves, for fear that Li Mei would drive them away.

Li Yu pulled Li Mei and whispered to her: "Aunt, these people are very pitiful. They can't sell anything in the shop. Look, my place is big. I plan to buy some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and cows." Hey, let the older people and the younger children herd the livestock and feed them some chickens, ducks and geese."

Li Mei turned around and saw the scared expressions of the old people and children, and sighed, "Okay! You can figure it out yourself! The threads spun by the women from the two families we brought back last time are really good and good. It's even and good, and Grandma Chen and the others are more attentive when spinning the thread after seeing it."

After hearing this, the two women hurriedly said to Li Yu: "Girl, we can also spin. Please arrange work for us. We will work hard and will not be freeloaders."

Li Yu nodded, "I will arrange work for you. Let's go into the house first. I don't know what your names are yet?"

Everyone followed Li Yu into the main room and started to kneel down again. Li Yu raised his hand to stop them, "You don't have to kneel down here and there. Just tell me what you will do when you are called."

Erya's grandfather stood in front and said, "Girl, Zhao Zijian injured his left leg in the war and walks with a slight limp. When I was in the village, people called me Zhao Zijian because I know how to feed animals."

"Girl, my name is Zhao Erya. I am strong enough to work on the land. You can assign me those rough jobs." Erya stood up and said loudly.

The two thin boys looked at Li Yu, and the slightly taller one said softly: "Girl, my name is Yang Agou, and his name is Yang Alei. We can cut grass and herd cattle."

The gray-haired old man said angrily: "Young man Yang Tiezhu knows how to farm and weave bamboo mats."

There are two women who know how to spin. One is Yang, the other is Peng, and the other is Liu who used to be a cook.

Li Yu looked at them and said, "You must abide by the rules here. The rules of my family are to abide by your duties and not gamble or fight. The master's affairs cannot be leaked to outsiders. If there is any violation, no matter who it is, they will be betrayed." , do you remember it?"

Everyone agreed in unison, "Remember,"

Li Yu watched them start to make arrangements, "Mrs. Liu, go help Aunt He cook on the stove. Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Peng will go to spin the thread. Agou and Alei will go to herd the cows and cut the grass. Erya, Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhao will go to the wheat fields to help first." Weeding." They all agreed happily.

Li Yu arranged the work and took them to their respective work places. He then went to find Ruyi and gave him the list of these people.

Ruyi took the list and said, "Girl, the pond has been sprinkled with lime and exposed to the sun. It can be filled with water tomorrow. I gave the lotus root seeds to Jin Jiu for him to plant. After the young master and you leave, the Xu brothers When I came, I allocated the location of the pig farm to them, and they have already started construction.”

"Okay, Ruyi, you can have someone cut some bamboo and wood, and surround the hillside to the east to build some chicken sheds. You can take my uncle and Zhao Zijian to several market towns to buy some chickens, ducks, and geese. , and pigs and cows are coming back to raise.”

After Ruyi remembered it, she went out to call for people. Zhou Jia came back from the shop in the town and said to Li Yu: "My friend Agen said that after asking a few places, he didn't hear anyone selling fish fry. Do we still want to raise fish? "

"We don't have any fry to sell, so we can only go to the trouble of asking someone to fish for fry in the ditch! Leave these to me and you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind!" Li Yu said nonchalantly.

Seeing Li Yu's nonchalant look, Zhou Jia also laughed, "Well! Then I will be supported by you from now on. You can't abuse me."

"I promise to raise you as beautiful as a flower." Li Yu smiled, touched Zhou Jia's face and turned around to run away.

"This girl, I don't know where she learned her crazy talk." Zhou Jia was left looking at Li Yu's back with a smile and shaking his head.

Li Yu went to the place where the pig farm was built, and saw that the craftsmen had built a wall half a man high, and there were people digging cesspools. Seeing that they were working reliably, he felt relieved and looked at the pond again. Seeing Jin Jiu packing up there, he turned around and went to the hillside to the east.

The hillside was covered with shrubs. Ruyi had already led people to cut and dig the shrubs on the slope. Li Yu climbed up the slope and pointed at the shrubs, "Ruyi, dig up these shrubs, divide the slope into two pieces, and then find some fruit trees." Plant it. You tell Xu Chun to build another row of cattle pens on the flat land below and put the chicken shed behind the cattle pens."

"Okay, I'll go and tell him right now. It's market day tomorrow and Uncle Liu and I will go to the market to buy livestock, chickens, ducks and geese." Ruyi said to Li Yu with a smile.

"You can make your own arrangements." Ruyi bowed and saluted, then ran down the slope.

Li Yu saw Zhao Erya digging out a bush with a hoe without much effort, and gave her a thumbs up, "Erya, you're doing a good job."

Zhao Erya blushed, "Girl, I've eaten so much food. If I don't work hard, I'm sorry for your kindness in buying me back!"

"Okay, work hard, and the girl will make sure you have enough to eat."

"Hey!" Erya waved the hoe and worked harder. The other long-term workers also secretly worked harder after seeing it.

Li Yu walked around the slope and planned the slope before going down the mountain and walking towards the wheat field. He saw that the wheat seedlings had slowly begun to turn green. He Tiezhu and He Hua were clearing the ditch. When they saw Li Yu hurriedly put down the hoe and wanted to salute. , Li Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can do your thing and don't worry about me."

"Hey!" After hearing this, the two picked up their hoes to remove the weeds and scooped up the soil that had fallen into the ditch to both sides of the ditch.

Li Yu looked around and returned to the house. Li Mei came to Li Yu with a newly knitted hat pattern and said, "Yu'er, look, this is a tiger hat that Zhao Di has knitted for a child. There is still some lint inside." A thin layer of cotton will keep you warm."

Li Yu saw the gentle look in Li Mei's eyes when holding the hat, and his heart moved, and he looked at Li Mei's belly, "Aunt, do you have a baby?"

Li Mei nodded and blushed, "I didn't feel it until I came back from Tongzhou. The month is still young, so I'm not sure. I'll ask my uncle to take his pulse after a while."

After hearing this, Li Yu looked at Li Mei happily and warned: "Then you have to be careful. If there is anything you want to eat, I will get it for you."

Li Mei glanced at Li Yu angrily, "You're still early, girl! I'll tell you when my aunt wants to eat, and I'll have people make more of these hats."

When Li Yu saw Li Mei walking away briskly, he was also happy for her. This is the way the world is. A family without a son has the least status in the clan. Although Liu Changmin has left the Liu clan, for Li Mei, if she wants Having a son has become her obsession.

The next day, Li Yu asked Jin Jiu to take people to fish out small fish from the river ditch, and then he went to the town to buy some and put them in the pond.

Another half month later, Li Yu's pig farm and breeding farm were also completed. More than two hundred chickens and a dozen cattle were raised on the slopes. Two sows and dozens of cattle were fed in the pig pen. There was a little pig, and the pond at the foot of the hillside became lively.

Ruyi asked people to scatter the alfalfa seeds that Li Yu bought back on a few acres of wasteland and wait for them to grow and feed the piglets. He also took people to dig some pepper trees, jujube trees, persimmon trees, and chestnut trees in the mountains. I came back and planted them on the slopes, turning the barren slopes into orchards.
