Li Yu and Zhou Jia took a look at the shop, and it was already the end of Shenshi when they came out of the shop. They hurried back and finally made it back to Xishan Village at the end of Youshi.

Li Qing and Li Mei were standing at the door, looking forward to it. Li Qing saw the mule cart coming from a distance, and pointed at the mule cart happily, "Aunt, you see, Brother Jixiang is driving the cart. My sister and husband are back." Li Mei saw this. Ji Xiang's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

After a while, the car arrived at the door. Li Yu jumped out of the car and said to Li Mei and Li Qing with a smile: "Aunt, Ah Qing, I'm back."

Just as Li Mei was about to speak, Zhou Jia also got out of the car and smiled at Li Mei: "I'm sorry, Aunt Li. I came back late and made you worry."

Li Mei smiled and nodded, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Then she thought about it and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are those bags easy to sell?"

Zhou Jia smiled and replied: "It's easy to sell. According to today's volume, those bags can be sold for three or four days at most. Please lead everyone to work harder and make more bags to store before those who follow the trend are gone." Once we make it, let’s make a name for ourselves first.”

"Is it really that easy to sell?" Li Mei looked at Li Yu, who nodded with a smile, "It's really easy to sell. Those people want all three sets, large, medium and small."

"That's good, I made so much at once, I'm worried to death," Li Mei looked at the few people happily, "You haven't eaten yet? Come in quickly, I'll roll out the noodles and cook them for you."

Li Yu quickly pushed Li Mei toward the house, "Aunt, it's already dark, and Mr. Zhou is busy going home!"

Seeing this, Zhou Jia smiled politely and said, "Yes, Aunt Li, I have to go back. I'll bother you next time."

Li Mei poked Li Yu and complained in a low voice, "You kid, there is no reason to chase away guests."

Li Yusan smiled and watched Li Mei remain silent. Zhou Jia turned around and picked up a food box from the car and handed it to Li Qing, "Ah Qing, take this in."

Li Qing bowed and took the food box, "Yes, sir."

Several people sent Zhou Jia away, turned around and went into the house and closed the courtyard door. Li Mei said to Li Yu: "It's getting dark, so I'll let you and Aunt Li go back first. Don't go out so late next time. Go and wash up quickly, I'll cook some noodles for you."

Li Yu smiled and promised: "I know, something happened this time and it won't happen next time."

Li Qing put down the food box and quickly poured water for Li Yu, "Sister, wash up quickly, you must be tired!"

Li Yu took the handkerchief and said to Li Qing with a smile: "Fortunately, go and do your homework! Go to bed early at night."

Li Qing nodded and went back to the house. Li Yu ate noodles, washed up, and went back to the house to rest with Li Mei.

Two days later, Zhou Jia went to Qingshan and met Xia Tao for a gathering at home.

After the meal, the two went to the study room. Zhou Jia asked him with a smile, "What happened last time you said we had a private talk? Also, why don't you take the provincial examination next year?"

Xia Tao sat next to Zhou Jia and whispered: "My uncle wrote a letter saying that there may be some unrest in the past few years and asked me to take the exam again in two years. First, the third prince fell off his horse and was lying unconscious on the bed. For more than half a month, the empress openly said that the concubine had instigated the crime, but the concubine refused to admit it. Instead, she said that the empress had framed her, and the two groups were having a huge quarrel in the court.

Secondly, there is a drought in several places in Daqi this year, which seems to be quite serious. Everyone is worried that if the drought continues, it may affect Dayong. My uncle told my aunt to store more water and food in case of emergencies. need. "

After hearing this, Zhou Jia gratefully handed over to Xia Tao, "Zijing, fortunately I still have you. After my grandfather left, she sealed the news in the capital. The last time I went to the mountains to collect medicine, I was almost sent by her." The person who came was killed, but luckily he ran away after meeting Miss Li."

Xia Tao looked at Zhou Jia and sighed, "It's the same for you. Having a father is the same as not having one. Although my parents are gone, I still have an uncle and aunt who are devoted to me. Your family is really a family. What a bad debt, your father actually has two daughters-in-law, one is ruled by the grandfather, and the other is ruled by the grandmother. One lives in the countryside, and the other lives in the capital, and they are both married by Mingwen. What did your grandfather and your grandmother do back then?"

Zhou Jia leaned back on the chair and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know the grievances of the previous generation. After my mother left, I vowed never to return to the Zhou family in the capital. No matter how they argue with me, I will never go back." It doesn’t matter anymore.”

"You are right not to go back. As for those losers in your family, I don't think the Zhou family in the capital can survive for a few more years. My uncle said that the methods in the back house are more dangerous than those in the court," Xia Tao said and took his arms. Zhu Zhou Jia said, "Honestly, are you interested in that girl Li?"

"You're going too far!" Zhou Jia blushed and patted Xia Tao. "Don't talk nonsense. I just appreciate her perseverance." After saying that, he pushed Xia Tao out and kept talking. , "We've had enough wine and food, why don't you leave quickly."

Xia Tao turned back and pointed at Zhou Jia and laughed: "Haha... our little Xi'er's red luan star has moved."

"Fuck you," Zhou Jia pushed Xia Tao out, and the two came out of the study quarreling. After sending Xia Tao away, Zhou Jia wanted to tell Li Yu the news about the grain storage as soon as possible, so he went out to buy a few bundles of sugar cane and brought Jixiang took the cloth and tung oil back to Xishan Village and went to Li Yu's house.

Zhou Jia asked Jixiang to unload the goods, and called Li Yu aside, whispering to her: "Miss Li, I got news that there are serious droughts in several places in Daqi. If it continues, Dayong may be implicated. Please save more water." Food to prepare for emergencies. Just know this yourself and don’t make it public. Also, if you hire a few more people to make bags, I have already asked Zhaocai to pull a few carts of bags to Qingzhou Mansion."

Li Yu responded gratefully: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I know it well, and the custom-made bag is ready. You can take it with you!"

Zhou Jia glanced at Li Yu and nodded with a smile, "Okay, the tea oil has been sold out and the Doubanjiang is almost gone. I will settle the settlement with you next time I come."

Li Yu nodded, took out the customized bag from the wing and put it in the car. He sent Zhou Jia away and returned to the courtyard. When he saw the sugar cane placed under the verandah, Li Yu thought that Zhou Jia was grateful for her life-saving grace. I didn't take these things to heart. I was worried that the drought in Daqi might spread here.

Li Yu secretly planned in his heart what preparations should be made to deal with the possible disaster. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a clue. He thought: It's better to hire people first.

Li Yu went to the side room, called Li Mei out, and said to her: "Aunt, go to the village and find a dozen more women who are fast at needlework and don't talk much. We have to hurry up."

Li Mei went through it in her mind, and said to Li Yu, the women she had come into contact with, "Last time I bought rice from Aunt Chen's house, and your Aunt Li's sister-in-law... they don't talk much, and they are nimble with their hands and feet. Why don’t I go visit them first?”

"Okay, go ahead!"

Li Mei took off her apron and went to the village to recruit help. Li Yu went to the wheat field and looked at the water reservoirs. Seeing that the water in the ponds had just covered the bottom of the ponds, Li Yu thought to himself, it would be better to hire someone. When people carry water and fill it, they must first plant the food.
