Old Man Hu took the grain seeds and held them gently in his arms like a rare treasure. His joy was beyond words, "Girl, have you figured out a new way to grow grains?"

Li Yu looked at Old Man Hu with a smile, "Yes, this is new grain, you should take good care of it."

Old Man Hu smiled with wrinkles on his face, "I know, I will take good care of it. Girl, we will go back and see you again when we have time."

Li Yu looked at Old Man Hu's happy smile and smiled happily, "Okay, come and play when you have free time. Thank you for what you sent me. I like it very much."

After hearing this, Old Man Hu felt as comfortable as drinking ice water in the dog days of summer. He smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "That's great if you like it, girl. I'll ask them to find it and bring it to you in the future."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "There's no need to bother people looking for it, just pick it off when you find it."

Old Man Hu said hurriedly: "I just picked it by the way, it's not troublesome at all."

Li Yu asked Ruyi to drive away Old Man Hu and others. He returned to the house and opened the bag. He saw that there were four small bags in the bag. They were all full-grained wild rice. The wild rice varieties in the four bags all looked similar. Maybe they picked them in different places and carefully dried them separately and brought them over.

Li Yu sighed to Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, I just helped them a little bit, told them what I knew, and gave them a reminder. The results they have achieved today were all figured out by themselves. , they actually kept all this in their hearts and repaid me as a favor."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and said, "That's because you are open-minded and don't care about gains and losses. If you knew that those who go to be apprentices to learn skills from a master have to work for the master for several years, and the master has to guard against the apprentice and will not Teaching all your true skills to your apprentices is different from teaching them everything you know and teaching them how to live a peaceful life. Of course they will respect you as their benefactor."

After hearing this, Li Yu thought to himself: No wonder many skills have been lost in the future. It is all caused by these people's indifference to their broomsticks.

Zhou Jia took a piece of red paper and handed it to Li Yu, looking at Li Yu with a smile, "Yu'er, look at this is the day I picked, which one would you choose?"

Li Yu looked at it, pointed at it and laughed, "Are these the days you picked? The eighth day of the eighth month, the ninth day of the eighth month, and the seventeenth day of the eighth month. The three days are only a few days apart."

Zhou Jia smiled lamely, "I wish I could marry you tomorrow. These days, I have carefully selected August as the best time to get married. Isn't it a good day when everything is not taboo?"

Li Yu rolled his eyes, "My aunt told me yesterday that the eighth day of September is a good day, what do you think?"

Zhou Jia grimaced after hearing this, "Okay! My aunt has spoken, what else can I do!"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and was speechless, "I don't know what you and your aunt are so worried about. It's only September and there's still a year to prepare. It's still early!"

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and kissed her lovingly, "Hey! Why are you so busy marrying a wife? Just wait for me! I will also draw a few phoenix crowns for you. You can choose carefully. I'll take it to the city to customize it."

Li Yu relied on Zhou Jia's heart full of sweetness, "Okay! Go and draw a few simple ones, don't make them too complicated and gorgeous."

"Yeah! I know!"

At the end of the year, Li Mei was embroidering a cyan skirt with complicated patterns at home. Laidi came in from outside the house holding Brother Zhu, who looked like a little Fuwa.

"Mom, give me a hug." Brother Zhu stretched out his hand and rushed towards Li Mei. Li Mei raised her head and looked at her sister and brother with smiles in her eyes, "You are such a naughty little girl. My mother wants to embroider a wedding dress for my cousin, so I can't hug you. You and your sister can't hug you." Go play."

Laidi looked at Li Mei and pouted, "Mom, you have been embroidering for more than half a year, why haven't you finished it yet?"

Li Mei looked at Laidi angrily, "Do you think the wedding dress is the same as the dress you usually wear?" Li Mei suddenly laughed thinking about it, "Your cousin's needlework is worse than you, if she is asked to embroider As for the wedding dress, I’m afraid she will go directly to the shop to buy one and come back!”

After hearing this, Laidi laughed and said, "I will buy a whole set in the future. Wouldn't it be nice to save trouble and effort!"

After hearing this, Li Mei glared and slapped her, "Shameless girl, go quickly and don't delay me here."

Laidi hugged Brother Zhu and went out. Li Mei touched the skirt on the embroidery stand and murmured to herself: Yu'er, you have done so much for my aunt's family. My aunt has no other ability but to embroider one for you. May you and your uncle have a beautiful wedding.

Fast forward to the end of the year, at the end of noon on the day after the Winter Solstice, Shopkeeper Chu from Sihai Bank arrived at Fengming Village. After the carriage entered the village, Shopkeeper Chu saw the fields on both sides of the village road and pulled out shallow ditches, thinking that they should be covered up. With seeds.

The village is clean and tidy. It doesn't look like a rural village in the mountains at all, but more like a villa of some kind.

Shopkeeper Chu saw a row of houses in the village, no pedestrians on the road, and a village not far ahead. He thought to himself: Mr. Zhou is now a civil servant, and he may live in the village in front.

Shopkeeper Chu arrived in front of Zhuangzi. Ruyi happened to be carrying a basket of eggs and walked from the chicken farm to Zhuangzi. Shopkeeper Chu stopped Ruyi and said with a smile: "Brother, does Mr. Zhou live in this Zhuangzi?"

Ruyi put down the bamboo basket, bowed and saluted, then pointed to the houses in the village and said, "Sir, I'm looking for my young master. My young master lives at the house at the end of the village."

"Thank you, brother." Shopkeeper Chu got into the car, then turned around and drove the carriage to Zhou's house.

The two arrived at the door of Zhou's house. Shopkeeper Chu got out of the car holding a sandalwood box engraved with Ruyi patterns. He turned around and handed the box to his entourage. He walked up and knocked on the door, "Is Mr. Zhou at home?"

Zhou Jia was holding a wooden box and happened to come out of Li Yu's house. He saw shopkeeper Chu standing at the door and thought to himself: Is there news coming back so soon?

Zhou Jia hurriedly walked over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chu, there are few visitors, please come and have a seat in the room."

Shopkeeper Chu also smiled and cupped his hands, "I've met Mr. Sihai. This place is not bad. It's a good place with mountains and rivers and fertile land."

Zhou Jia said politely: "It's just a place in the countryside. Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Chu, for the compliment."

The two of them entered the main room politely and sat down. Aunt He served tea and added some charcoal to the brazier before retreating.

Shopkeeper Chu looked at the wooden sofa in the main room and laughed, "It turns out that Mr. Zhou also likes this new thing. I also bought two sets of these chairs and coffee tables. I think they are pretty good after using them."

Zhou Jia pointed to the sofa and coffee table and said with a smile: "We just moved here and my fiancée made these according to the drawings of her master when we were repairing the house. After Carpenter Lin helped them make them, she made them as she thought they were rare. If you sell it, you will receive dividends in the past two years.”

Shopkeeper Chu cupped his hands and smiled: "Miss Li is truly blessed to have such a master."

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Chu, for the compliment."

Shopkeeper Chu took the sandalwood box from his entourage, put it on the coffee table, bowed to Zhou Jia and said, "Mr. Zhou, here are my master's gifts for you, and the additional box that my master's mother gave to Miss Li." "Etiquette, the master said, the merit of Miss Li's work lies in Qianqiu, let Miss Li do it freely, and leave other matters to Sihai to contact you."
