The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Early the next morning, the rice harvesting began. Li Yu's rice field was right at the door, which made harvesting very convenient. The six people finished harvesting half an acre of the field in no time.

Liu Changmin went back and carried the mixing bucket to the ground. Li Yu quickly helped to take it and put it on the open space to set up a fence. Laidi and Li Qing picked up the bucket and passed it to Li Yu and Liu Changmin. Li Yu took it and said to The side walls of the mixing bucket were banged, and within a few strokes, the grains on the rice ears fell off into the mixing bucket.

When Liu Changmin saw that Li Yu finished the fight in just a few strokes, he raised his thumb and praised, "Xiaoyu, you are truly worthy of divine power."

Li Yu smiled and continued to thresh the millet. It took a few people more than a day to take home the millet from the two acres of land.

Li Yu asked Li Mei to go to the village and buy some drying mats to dry the millet in the wasteland outside the house.

Li Yu found that he had only harvested less than eight stones of millet from two acres of land. He sighed inwardly. This yield was too little!

After harvesting the millet, Li Mei and his wife cleared wasteland at home, Li Qing and Laidi went to dig fertile soil in the forest, and Li Yu went to the three-way intersection carrying pickles on his back.

Li Yu walked to the intersection and saw that there was no convoy on the road. Just as he was about to put down his backpack, the shopkeeper of Shunfeng Inn stood at the door and waved to Li Yu, "Miss Li, come here. I have something to discuss with you."

Li Yu glanced at the fat shopkeeper, walked over with a smile and asked, "I wonder what the shopkeeper wants to discuss with me?"

The fat shopkeeper looked at the pickles in Li Yu's back and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Miss Li, you can consign your pickles to me! I will take a penny for every jar sold."

Li Yu thought to himself: His shop is here, and there are many caravans who feed livestock, so it is feasible to put him here.

"Shopkeeper, I only earn three or four cents per jar of my pickles. If I sell them to you on consignment, I'll give you two jars for one cent at most. If you think it's okay, I'll put a few jars of each kind in here for you. How much did you sell at one time? I will pay you according to the quantity."

The shopkeeper thought about it and thought it would be fine. The place was empty and he could sell a dozen cans a day for five cents!

"Miss Li, if a large caravan wants pickles, these few jars of yours won't be enough!"

"My home is in Xishan Village. It only takes a quarter of an hour to drive there. Just bring someone with me to identify the door."

The fat shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "Okay, I know your house, but I still have to ask the waiter to identify the door."

"Okay, shopkeeper, you know my surname is Li, what is the shopkeeper's uncle's surname?"

"My surname is Liu and my given name is Yong. My home is in Dongshan Village. Your uncle and I are uncles and brothers."

Li Yu bowed to him and saluted, "I'll bother Uncle Liu from now on."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Miss Li, you're welcome. We can benefit from each other!"

Li Yu picked up five jars of each kind of pickles from the basket on his back and said to Liu Yong with a smile: "Uncle Liu, the one with one line on the cork is kohlrabi sauce, the two lines are with cowpea sauce, and the three lines are with meat sauce. , a jar of vegetarian pickles costs 20 cents, and a jar of meat pickles costs 30 cents.”

Shopkeeper Liu read them one by one, recited them several times, and nodded, "I remember them."

"We are in a hurry today. I will bring a ledger next time. From now on, we will record the amount every time we hand over."

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful in doing things at such a young age."

"There is no other way. No one wants to have to go out to make a living at a young age. You also know the situation in my family."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "That's true."

When Li Yu came out of the inn, shopkeeper Liu sent a boy named Zhuzhu to follow Li Yu to Li's house to identify himself.

Zhuzi followed Li Yu to Li's house with a red face and said nothing. After recognizing the door, he turned around and ran away.

Li Yu walked in with a smile. Zhao Di, who was drying millet and harvesting vegetables at home, saw Li Yu coming back so quickly. She thought it was sold out again, and asked happily: "Cousin, is it sold out again?"

Li Yu shook his head, "How could it be so fast? I put it on consignment at the inn."

After hearing this, Zhao Di was a little disappointed and said to Li Yu: "Cousin, Liu Yong is the second son of the patriarch of the Liu family. We call him Erbo. The inn is opened by the patriarch's family."

After hearing this, Li Yu felt more relieved and went to the wasteland with a hoe.

Some of the land has been plowed. Liu Changmin and his wife were picking up stones in the ground, and Li Yu also went to the ground to pick them up.

Li Yu thought as he picked them up, he had to go to the forest to find some roses and roses and plant them in a circle around the ground.

A few people worked hard all day and cleared four or five acres of land. Li Qing and Laidi also carried a lot of fallen leaf fertilizer and spread it on the ground.

Li Qing poured out the fallen leaf fertilizer from his backpack and walked to Li Yu with the basket on his back. "Sister, I'm going to school the next day. Don't work too hard at home. I'll come to work as soon as I get back from school."

Li Yu patted the dirt stuck to Li Qing's body and said, "Don't worry about this. In two days, I will hire a few people to help open up wasteland, so that my aunt and the others can go back and repair their house."

Li Qing felt relieved after hearing that Li Yu would hire someone to do the work, "Yeah! I understand."

As soon as they walked to the door, a skinny boy of twelve or thirteen years old walked up to Li Yu nervously and said, "Sister Li, I heard that your family is hiring people to open up wasteland. Can I come to your house to help you work?" ?I don’t need money, just order some food.”

When Li Qing saw him, it was like seeing his old self. He pulled Li Yu's lapel. Li Yu patted Li Qing and nodded to the boy with a smile, "Okay! I'm worried that I can't find anyone to work for!"

The boy's eyes lit up when he saw sister and brother Li Yu. He bowed to Li Yu and said, "Thank you, sister Li. Thank you, brother Aqing. I will work hard."

Li Yu smiled and said to him: "But my family has to pay wages for all work. You are young, and I can only give you a few coins, a wallet and three meals a day."

Three meals a day, the boy's eyes turned red after hearing this, "Thank you Sister Li, I will come early tomorrow morning."

"Hey! Isn't this Jiang's Xiaoan? Is your father feeling better?" Li Mei came from behind and asked.

Jiang Xiaoan lowered his head sadly and said, "Aunt Li, my father has left. Aunt Li, Sister Li, and my mother are still waiting for me at home. I will go back first."

Jiang Xiaoan turned around and ran towards the village. Li Yu turned around and asked Li Mei, "Aunt, what happened to his father?"

"Alas! His father fell down while doing labor service the year before last and couldn't get up. He collapsed on the bed when he got home. Their family also fled the famine and settled here. His mother was in poor health and was very sick. Alas! How do you live your life when you are both sick and weak?"

Li Qing looked at Li Yu and said, "Sister, he is so pitiful!"

Li Mei nodded and looked at Li Yu, "Yu'er, why did Anzi come to you?"

"He came to me asking for work. He said he didn't want any wages but just food. Auntie, he looked so pitiful. Let's go and take a look!"

"Alas! I am an orphan and a widowed woman, and there is no one at home to help me. She probably has no rice to cook with. Let's go take a look!"

"Sister, can we give him some rice?" Li Qing looked at Li Yu, who nodded, "Sure."

Li Yu went home and scooped a few kilograms of rice, and Li Mei took her towards the village.
