Chapter 49 Everything is ready

Putting the plowshare on, Yuan Pei brought the plowshares from his home and put them on the plowshares. Liu Yi took the initiative and tried to walk back and forth in the vegetable field used to grow vegetables in the backyard of Yuan's family. Not to mention, these two moves really made Liu Yi find the feeling of using ox to plow the land when he went to the countryside for internship.

The depth is appropriate, and the advance is far away. Well, this plow can be used.

"Mr. Liu thought this plow, what?" Yuan Fang saw that Liu Yi tried a few times, and a smile appeared on his face, so he stepped forward and asked.

Liu Yi stopped and handed the cow to Yuan Pei, and smiled and said, "It's useful! It's easy to use! It's applicable! Old Master Yuan's ability is admired!"

Yuan Fang is still very confident in the woodworking craftsmanship. After hearing Liu Yi's praise, Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu thinks it's useful. This is the first mate. The remaining 19 mates will be made for Mr. Liu one after another. Well, at this speed, you can make about one or two mates a day. In half a month, Mr. Liu will come to pick up the plow."

"In this way, Uncle Yuan will be thanked." Liu Yi bowed and said, "One of the twenty plowshares needed for plowing has been customized at Uncle He and can be delivered soon. Old Master Yuan is busy, so he won't disturb him."

"Haha, I know that Mr. Liu is also a noble person and has many affairs, so I won't keep you." Yuan Fang turned his head and ordered Yuan Pei: "Pei'er, send Mr. Liu to his father."

"You are leaving!" Liu Yi bowed to Yuan Fang and went out with Yuan Fei.

When he got home, Liu Laoshi was taking care of his baby plowing ox in the cow tent. Seeing Liu Yi came back, he walked out of the cow tent.

The morning's events did not come to an end, and Lao Liu still breathed a sigh of relief. He called Liu Yi to his side. Lao Liu asked, "Yi, what are your plans for the Zhang family's marriage? My father also saw that the Zhang family's daughter is delicate and has some arrogance in her bones. She may be a good wife in the future. If you don't want to, Dad will change her family to you. There are many good daughters in these villages and five miles, and there is no shortage of the old Zhang family."

"Hey! Don't, dad, I think this girl from the Zhang family is pretty good. Just her." Liu Yi hurriedly stopped her. After finally delaying the marriage for a while, how could Liu Yi cause trouble for himself? He said honestly to Liu: "Dad, we have given the betrothal gifts to others. If you regret it again, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"Besides, I have already told you that if Miss Chuchu can guess the answer to the riddle, I will come to propose marriage in person. If my father goes to another family now, wouldn't it be that I will break my promise?" Liu Yiu began to tell the facts and reason for Lao Liu, trying to convince Liu Lao Shi.

"But" Liu Zhen said with a tense face: "If she, Zhang Chuchu, can't guess the answer to the riddle in her life, then my Liu family will never marry her?! It's so outrageous."

"Haha," Liu Yi smiled and comforted Liu Laoshi, saying, "Dad, don't worry about this. The puzzle I left for Miss Zhang is not very difficult. It takes less than three or five months to guess it."

Liu Yipin originally wanted to say that it was three to five years, but seeing that Lao Liu's face was unhappy, he changed his words and shortened the time several times when he was too anxious. You should know that although "Zhong Er" is not a problem, it is not something that everyone can think of.

"Three or five months? So long?" Lao Liu frowned.

Seeing that his reaction was not very strong, Liu Yiu explained from the side: "Dad, you should also see what happened today. Although the girl from the Zhang family was born in a farmer's family, she had the temper of a young lady. She was proud of her talent and did not take ordinary people seriously. Therefore, there was a three-question recruitment theory."

Seeing Lao Liu nodding, Liu Yiu continued, "Miss Chuchu is talented and is proficient in mathematics. If she can use her arrogant personality to grind her in the future and marry her in the future, she will definitely be a virtuous pillar."

"Well, you're right." Lao Liu kept nodding. It would be much better if he could have more people at home who could read and write.

"So, dad," Liu Yi said, "Let's wait a few more months. It's not a long time. And maybe, as soon as we left today, people guessed the answer?"

"Okay, it's rare that you will agree to this marriage. Your mother and I will wait for a few more days." Old Liu didn't want to force it too hard, so he agreed. Thinking of Liu Yi's thirty acres of land, he asked, "How are you preparing for the land reclamation? Is there any settlement?"

Liu You smiled and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about this, I will deal with it. Now the manpower, ox, plowing, and fertilizer are all ready, just waiting for the land to begin spring."

"That's good, that's good." Lao Liu said: "You have your own field now and are an adult. You can solve many things yourself. Dad is happy for you. But Dad watches you running around every day, but he can't help you. I always feel a little ashamed of you."

Liu Yiuan didn't expect that Lao Liu would say these words of Zhileng Zhire, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, saying, "Dad, where are you talking about this? You have been working hard for our Liu family for half your life. Now it's my turn, my eldest son, to do something."

Liu Yi said: "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about the arable land a few days ago, but before everything was settled, I delayed it. But now, it is a good opportunity."

"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me," Lao Liu asked.

"Hold the land!" Liu Yi said, "I want to integrate all the fields left by you, me, and my grandfather, even if you use fertile fields and governments to exchange wasteland, you must combine them together. Let all the fields be cultivated, planted in spring, and harvested in autumn, and all the fields are managed by the hired farmers. Then you will no longer have to work hard and tired like now. Thirty hectares of Yongye fields are enough for our Liu family's food, clothing and expenses for the rest of our lives."

After hearing this, Lao Liu did not answer immediately, but frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Let me think about this."

Liu Yi nodded, and he just mentioned this matter first and gave Lao Liu a psychological preparation. He knew that Liu Lao Shi would definitely not be willing to let go of the fields he had planted for decades. Half of them were fertile fields. If they were all used to exchange for wasteland, anyone would feel distressed.
