Chapter 136 Master Qian Arrives
After being persuaded by Old Lady Zhou, Zhou Cheng and the Bai couple gradually calmed down.
Although she was somewhat disappointed that her son Zhou Dazhu had not yet returned, she was also very relieved.
My son has grown up. Now he has the courage to step out of the house and experience the outside world. This is a kind of growth.
Zhou Dazhu is lucky to meet a noble person like Qin Ruo.
The Zhou family knew that Zhou Dazhu's future would be bright. Although they were reluctant to let him go, they were also proud of their son's growth.
The two families sat down and talked about their respective situations in recent times.
The Zhou family knew that Qin Ruo ran a restaurant in Taihe County.
Now that the Qin family has returned, they learned that Qin Ruo had bought a house in Taihe County, and the whole family was happy for the Qin family.
Now, since the Zhou family started helping Qin Ruo, their lives have gradually improved.
Qin Ruo's family worked hard all day in Taihe County, and the Zhou family was also very busy.
The Zhou family had cleared the fifty acres of wasteland that Qin Ruo bought with the combined efforts of their entire family years ago.
The vegetation on the surface of the wasteland was burned into ash according to Qin Ruo's requirements, and then mixed with quicklime and covered the ground.
Qin Ruo told the Zhou family that doing so could improve the soil and kill insects and sterilize.
The Zhou family has been farming for a lifetime, but this is the first time they have mixed raw stones into the fields.
But they trusted Qin Ruo and followed Qin Ruo's steps closely.
Some clever villagers in the village saw what the Zhou family did and started to imitate them.
Currently, ten acres out of the fifty acres of wasteland have been designated as an orchard. The first batch of fruit seedlings have been planted, and the rest of the land is still vacant for the time being.
The fruit seedlings were growing well. Knowing that the Qin family's fruit trees were all rare varieties, Zhou Cheng and his wife did not dare to be careless at all.
Such a precious thing must be carefully protected.
Now, after returning from the fish pond every day, the Zhou family will patrol the orchard twice to prevent any accidents.
Before going to Taihe County, Qin Ruo told the Zhou family to use the two oxen and the batch of farm tools that Si Heng had sent them last time.
The new farm tools saved the Zhou family a lot of time and energy.
Taking advantage of their free time, the Zhou family even plowed the Qin family's acres of fertile land.
When the Qin Ruo family was not in Changhe Village, the Zhou family kept the Qin family in order.
During dinner, the Zhou family stayed at the Qin family's place. Now the relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer, and they are not shy with each other.
When he left, he happily returned to the Zhou family, carrying the New Year gifts that Qin Ruo had prepared long ago.
In three days, it will be Qin Ruo's first New Year's Eve since he came to this prosperous dynasty.
The next day, Qin Ruo sent Qin Ziyan and his brother to deliver a holiday gift to the old Yang family in the village, the families of those who had come to help with the work in the fish pond, and those who had helped the Qin family.
There were candies, cakes, and a few pounds of meat.
Even Chen Laosan received a copy, which moved Jiang and made him sigh with emotion.
"Some people in the village are jealous and say that the Zhou family has fallen into depravity and become the Qin family's servants. Look at the Zhou family, they are living a prosperous life following the Qin family. I heard that the Zhou family is also planning to build a new house after the New Year. They are not servants at all; the Qin family is clearly their benefactors."
"Originally, I thought Ah Ruo would be fed up with our family after the incident with Zhang Dahua. But now it seems that she really doesn't take that matter to heart. Today, I have to warn you a little bit. The Qin family is generous by not taking it to heart. The Qin family is now in its heyday. You must not be blinded by greed and make enemies with others, and follow in their footsteps."
Jiang gathered her three sons and their daughters-in-law together and gave them earnest instructions.
"Mom, don't worry. Shouzheng and I are not the kind of people who don't know how to see things. When we were repairing the fish pond last time, A Ruo said that she would ask us to do some work after the New Year."
Lu Shuiqin was the first to stand up and express her opinion, and the others quickly nodded in response to Jiang's words.
Chen Shouli, the second son of the Chen family, usually works as a peddler walking around the streets. Although he has never worked for the Qin family, he has always been well-behaved and has taken his mother's words to heart.
Seeing the reactions of her son and daughter-in-law, Jiang felt slightly comforted.
Without the troublemaker Zhang Dahua at home, life is becoming more and more comfortable.
She should have realized earlier that Qin Ruo was not the kind of petty person.
Although her own wife had framed her like that in the past, she has now let bygones be bygones and is still willing to lead everyone in making money together, which shows that she is a broad-minded person.
After Qin Zimu and his brother came back from delivering the holiday gifts, Qin Tiaotiao clamored to go hunting in the back mountain.
After hearing this, Banxia's eyes lit up and she agreed. Banxia had heard that her master used to make a living by hunting, and she also wanted to go to that mountain.
Even Song Shiqi seemed eager to try it out. Seeing that everyone was interested, Qin Ruo simply accompanied them to the back mountain.
Ever since the wolf pack was discovered, Camel Hump Mountain has become a forbidden place for the villagers.
But with Qin Ruo and Qin Tiaotiao here, plus Song Shiqi, there is no need to worry about safety issues at all.
Old Lady Qin, Xun Dong and Qin Ziyan stayed at home, while the others set out towards the back mountain with hunting gear.
Originally, Old Lady Qin did not agree with Qin Ruo and his group to go into the mountains, mainly because she was still afraid of the wolves.
After learning that Qin Ruo left without saying goodbye and stayed alone in the mountains for more than half a month, he finally felt relieved.
Qin Ruo's purpose was not hunting, but simply to accompany them for fun.
Qin Zimu, Zhou Erzhu and Banxia had a great time.
Naturally, they did not encounter any large animals, but the group did hunt a lot of pheasants and rabbits, and returned with a full load after half a day in the mountains.
In the afternoon, the lawyer brought people to the Qin family to measure the house and land, and went to see the new crops planted by the Qin family. They also went to the Qin family orchard.
The more Master Qian looked at the food, the more excited he became. When Xunyu Ji opened, he specially reserved two tables for County Magistrate Jiang and his party. After tasting the food, County Magistrate Jiang and his party all praised the food highly.
Before returning to Taihe County, Qin Ruo sent someone to deliver a basket of fruits to Mr. Qian and his colleagues in the yamen.
Magistrate Jiang and Mr. Qian were both well-informed people, so they naturally knew that these fruits were not ordinary.
When Qin Ruo sent someone to deliver the fruits, he asked Master Qian to send someone to Changhe Village after the New Year to measure the houses and land. County Magistrate Jiang simply sent Master Qian to come before the New Year, with the main purpose of seeing the sweet potato seedlings planted by Qin Ruo.
Seeing the seedlings growing well, Master Qian was overjoyed. He immediately drew a picture of the seedlings and prepared to take it back to the yamen to present to Magistrate Jiang.
"Fortunately, the weather was not too cold before the New Year, so these seedlings grew so well. I originally wanted to report to the county magistrate after the New Year, but I didn't expect that you, my lord, would arrive early." Qin Ruo explained with a smile.
Master Qian said kindly, "Miss Qin, it's alright. The crops are growing well. I think there is hope for an increase in grain production in Dasheng. Miss Qin, you will make a great contribution."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Master Qian politely declined Qin Ruo's invitation to stay for dinner. After measuring the house and land of Zhou's family, he and his men returned to the city in a hurry.
