Chapter 142 Help
It's still early today, and as long as Yang Tong hurrys up, he can do it.
"Sure, but Ningjiang Manor might not have that many hoes. If you go today, bring your own hoe first, and I'll prepare a new one tomorrow."
Yang Tong nodded his head incessantly. He was so lucky today that he could go to Lin Ting's house to work.
Thirty wen of silver, which is the same as the wages for building a house.
Although farming may only take a few days, he can earn thirty cents in just one day's work, which can be used to buy six pounds of broken rice, so that his family can have good food for a few days.
"Okay! I have a hoe."
After Lin heard the notice, his eyes fell on the bowl of black soup he fed his child. It was obviously grass roots cooked in泔水.
The child is still growing, but their family is so poor that they have to cook grass roots to eat.
"Then it's settled. I still need to find a few more people. Oh, and Brother Yang, before you go to work, go to our new house and have breakfast first. Bring the children with you."
"Hey! Great, thank you, Lin Ting!"
Lin Ting smiled and nodded, then turned around and went to find the other three families the village chief mentioned.
If there were more people, the mung bean planting could be completed earlier, otherwise my parents-in-law would always worry about them every day.
It didn't take long to call people. Lin Ting finished calling after just a few steps. Master Wu, Carpenter Huang and the village chief were watching over the new house.
Lin Ting took Shen Wanyi to Wenzhu County again. The first thing she did was go to the county government office to see Mrs. Qu and thank her for giving her two pots of chili peppers.
But when he arrived at the county government office, he met Qu Yuanxun before he even saw Mrs. Qu.
Qu Yuanxun sat on the stone table in the yard, holding a pen in one hand and a very old book in his left hand.
He seemed to want to copy down the contents from the old and worn book.
"Master Qu, are you alright? Are there no cases today?"
Hearing Lin Ting's voice, Qu Yuanxun immediately put away the book in his hand and hid it behind him.
But Lin Ting had good eyesight. She had clearly seen the word "music score" in that old book.
Qu Yuanxun was copying the music sheet. Isn't that normal? What's there to hide?
"Mrs. Lin, you are here to see my mother, right? She is in the backyard."
Even though they were very familiar with each other, when he heard Lin's words, he still touched the temples on his cheeks guiltily.
"Oh! Then Master Qu, please continue with your work."
She didn't think much about Qu Yuanxun's series of reactions, but went straight to find Mrs. Qu with the gifts.
backyard!
As soon as Shen Wanyi saw Madam Qu, he trotted towards her.
"Grandma Qu, Grandma Qu... Xiaobao misses you so much..."
Mrs. Qu, who was originally pruning flower branches, saw Shen Wanyi running towards her and immediately handed the scissors to Xiaoju behind her.
Shen Wanyi was wearing a bright yellow dress and her hair was tied into two small buns with a bright yellow ribbon. Lin Ting had cut a straight fringe on her forehead for her, which made her look so adorable.
"Oh, it's Xiaobao. Grandma Qu misses you too. If you don't come to see me, I'll go to your house to look for you."
Mrs. Qu led Shen Wanyi to the table and gave Shen Wanyi the washed peaches on the table to eat.
The peach was so big that Shen Wanyi could only hold it in her two small hands and eat it like a little hamster, which made Mrs. Qu love her very much.
"Xiaoju, cut up all these peaches and bring them here when you're done. Oh, and take out all those little gadgets from my cupboard, too."
"Yes! Madam."
Lin Ting sat down and gave a book he had bought in Minzhou to Mrs. Qu.
"Madam Qu, this book 'The Ceremony of Tea' is very interesting. It can be used to kill time in your spare time. I brought it from Minzhou specially. There are only two copies in the entire Wenzhu County, one for you and one for my sister."
Old Madam Qu took Lin Ting's gift with both hands. She had everything she needed, but she lacked something like this that she could make in her spare time.
"Lin Ting, your gift is really what I want. It seems that I won't be bored for the next period of time."
"I also want to thank the old lady for the colorful flowers she gave me. Those flowers are very important to me."
Mrs. Qu stroked Shen Wanyi's hair and answered Lin Ting with a smile.
"When Madam Ye gave it to me the other day, I saw that you really wanted it. Anyway, I have five pots, so I'll give you two to take care of."
Lin Ting was very anxious that day.
"Madam Qu, I want to plant colorful flowers next year, so I have a humble request. If any of your flowers have fallen red, please put them aside, dry them, and give them to me. I want to keep them for seeds."
"it is good!"
Mrs. Qu agreed to Lin Ting's request without even thinking about it.
After sitting with Madam Qu for a while, Xiaoju soon cut the peaches and had them served.
Mrs. Qu asked Lin Ting to eat with her, and Xiaoju came out with a basket of food in her hand.
"Madam, everything in your cabinet is here."
"Yeah! I made these for Xiaobao."
Lin Ting looked at the things in the basket, there were small tasseled balls, a lifelike little tiger, and a cute little hanging bag, all of which were embroidered by her.
She didn't know if she would be able to do these for her grandson in this lifetime, but she was very happy to do it for Shen Wanyi.
"Wow, it's a tiger, so cute."
Shen Wanyi fell in love with the colorful tiger at first sight and liked it so much that she kissed it as soon as she got it in her hand.
"Does Xiaobao like it?"
"I like it. The balls made by Grandma Qu are also beautiful. Xiaobao likes Grandma Qu the most, hehehe..."
When Mrs. Qu saw Shen Wanyi so happy, she also smiled, and the whole backyard was filled with the laughter of the old and the young.
After sitting for a whole morning, Lin Ting took Shen Wanyi to say goodbye to Madam Qu.
She first bought some mung beans as seeds and gave them to Shen Dali to plant tomorrow, and then bought two sets of clothes for the two old people.
Although I gave them money, they were reluctant to buy anything.
After buying clothes, she bought two pairs of shoes for each person in the family. Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu were always working, and shoes were the easiest to wear out.
Shen Qingzhou never walked before, and he only had two pairs of shoes. Lin Ting looked at his feet and bought him two pairs. After all, they were a couple tied together.
After buying things, she went to the Tea Language Building to take a look around. Seeing that everything was normal, she gave Lin Lin the book "Tea Ceremony" she had prepared.
Then he packed some cakes and sent them to Shen Qingzhou at Yangtai Academy during lunch break.
Outside the gate of Yangtai Academy, it is not a holiday and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Lin Ting wanted to ask the gatekeeper to help call Shen Qingzhou over, but he had no one to take over his shift and could not leave his position.
Lin Ting had no choice but to wait for other students to pass by and ask them to help her call Shen Qingzhou.
Soon, she saw four or five people walking past her, and Lin Ting quickly called out to them.
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment. Can you do me a favor?"
Lu Cailiang stopped and turned around. It was the first time someone dared to ask him for help in Yangtai Academy.
