Chapter 305 Rumors
Xie Jiaojiao quickly grabbed him.
"Uncle Wang, don't... There are so many people watching us! How about this, come to my house after dark at night, and I will lend you the grain, but you can't tell anyone else about this. After all, grain is expensive now. If everyone in the village comes to me, I won't be able to do anything!"
Wang Dawei nodded hurriedly, his eyes red, and kept shouting at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't do that, there are so many people watching, remember to come back after dark!"
Wang Dawei nodded: "I remember, I remember!"
The two of them parted ways, and many people were watching. Someone was curious: "Miss Xie, why did Wang Dawei look for you?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Nothing, I just asked if I could plant some sugarcane fields for him from the two acres of land left at home!"
When it comes to sugarcane, the person who asked the question felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking about what Xie Jiaojiao said in the cave, he wanted to plant some too, but he couldn't say it.
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao left after she finished speaking, the man cursed at the sky again. It was all because of the bad weather. If it hadn't been for the flood, everyone would have lived a carefree life!
Xie Jiaojiao returned home and told Sun Ruhua about this. Sun Ruhua listened and nodded slightly: "Then I will prepare it now. It is also because he spoke for you in the cave. Otherwise, I would never give food to anyone who comes to borrow it now."
Sun Ruhua said as she prepared...
After breakfast, Xie Zhili came!
The woman he saved yesterday knelt down as soon as she saw Xie Zhili: "Mingyue thanks you for saving my life!"
Xie Zhili had never seen such a scene before, and was so frightened that he almost knelt down before her.
After realizing what was happening, he hurried to help her up, but he felt that there was a difference between men and women, so he asked Wang Xiuer to help her up.
Xie Zhili touched the back of his head and said, "Well, it was because we knocked you down twice yesterday and knocked out the water in your stomach that you survived. If you hadn't fallen down twice, you might have been buried by us!"
The woman didn't quite hear what he said and looked at him in confusion.
Xie Zhili put down his hand: "I'm glad you woke up."
"May I ask your name, benefactor?"
"My name is Xie Zhili, please don't call me benefactor, it sounds weird!"
The woman did not answer, but wrote down his name and said, "My name is Liu Mingyue!"
Xie Jiaojiao just knew her name and thought that her name was not rustic at all.
Xie Zhili picked up the bucket and went to fetch water again, while Niu Er went to get some soil. Xie Jiaojiao and the other women broke the soil into pieces with hammers and then pounded them into smaller pieces.
Liu Mingyue watched and began to follow their lead, working together.
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at her. This woman really has good eyesight!
Everyone was doing the same work as yesterday. When the sun went down, they saw more clods of earth in the dam!
Xie Jiaojiao looked at it and thought that it might be enough to do a little more tomorrow.
Xie Zhili went back as soon as it got dark, and Xie Jiaojiao waited for Wang Dawei to come.
When Wang Dawei came, he felt a little embarrassed.
Xie Jiaojiao took out the food that she had prepared for him and put it in his backpack: "If you eat frugally, you should be able to eat until the beginning of next spring!"
This time, Wang Dawei knelt down directly: "Ms. Xie, thank you, you really have a kind heart!"
Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly helped the man up: "Alright, we don't need to say anything extra, let's go back quickly."
Wang Dawei's eyes reflected a glimmer of light under the illumination of the oil lamp.
He reached out and wiped his eyes: "We, the Wang family, will always remember your kindness!"
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand, and Wang Dawei turned around and went back with the backpack.
That hunched body is painful to look at.
Xie Jiaojiao led Niu Er and the others to make some clods of earth together. She felt that this was almost enough. If all the clods of earth in the entire field were dried, they could be used to pull several ox carts!
Many people in the middle watched them carrying water and soil, and asked them what they were doing! Niu Er and Xie Zhili didn't say anything!
Now that we have finished working on this piece of soil, we can’t leave out the work inside the field!
Since there is no food in the fields, we have to plant something to eat. And if we don’t plant some food now, we will starve to death if we wait until next spring to plant!
The same thing happened in Xie Jiaojiao's family. After Xie Jiaojiao finished working on the soil, she started thinking about what kind of crops to plant in the fields at home.
Sun Ruhua went to the town a few days ago and bought a lot of vegetable seeds and planted vegetables in the backyard.
What about this land? It can't be left empty, right?
Sun Ruhua didn't think it was a big deal. She thought that the land was no longer fertile after the flood. It would be better to wait for a year to ferment the land so that she could have a good harvest next year!
Xie Jiaojiao disagreed. Xie, the land was just empty anyway. If she really didn't plant anything there, the villagers who didn't know would think her family had a lot of food!
She thought about it and finally decided to grow peanuts!
The fields along the river are mainly sandy, except for the two acres of paddy fields at home!
She had previously bought three acres of land in the village. If she planted peanuts on all of it, she would be able to harvest a lot by the end of the year. She could then sell it to her own restaurant or eat it herself!
Since she thought so, Xie Jiaojiao did just that!
Sun Ruhua realized that what she said was useless, so she stopped talking!
When the villagers saw Xie Jiaojiao planting peanuts, they were a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Ms. Xie, it only takes a little bit of peanuts to grow. If you plant so many, you won't be able to eat them all!"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, and after Niu Er helped Xie Jiaojiao plant peanuts, he also planted them in his own soil!
In the meantime, Niu Er said to Xie Zhili, "Uncle Xie, Aunt Xie asked you to plant peanuts on the second-class land at home. If the harvest is good, you can sell it to her. Her restaurant wants it."
Xie Zhili didn't even think twice and turned over the soil in just two days, then planted the peanuts!
Liu Mingyue also helped him during this process!
The villagers looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and were very curious. Finally, they learned from Niu Er that this woman was "picked up" by Xie Zhili at the riverside. Because Xie Zhili saved her life, this woman wanted to repay him and helped Xie Zhili with work. However, this woman usually lives in Xie Jiaojiao's house. After all, there are differences between men and women, right?
When the villagers heard about it, this matter became a topic of laughter for everyone.
Many people said that Xie Zhili was lucky to be able to pick up a woman by the river!
Some people also said that Xie Zhili was a bachelor anyway, and the woman he picked up might be a gift from God...
There are all kinds of words...
Rumors were flying around the village.
Finally, these words reached Xie Zhili's ears, but he didn't think anything of it. But if these words reached Liu Mingyue's ears...
Originally, he just saved her out of convenience. If others thought he had some hidden agenda, that would be bad. Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still at home, so he got up and went to look for Xie Jiaojiao...
