Chapter 337 Accompanying the Travel
Wei Jinyi's blush made Wei Ruo wonder if he had brought it by mistake.
"This is taro ball milk tea, not fermented glutinous rice balls."
After taking a closer look, Wei Ruo confirmed that he had got the right thing.
Wei Jin also came to his senses, lowered his head and continued to eat taro ball milk tea.
"Second brother, don't eat so fast. After eating taro ball milk tea, you won't be able to eat barbecue anymore. I have prepared a lot of delicious barbecue ingredients." "Yeah."
Wei Jin also stopped, but his eyes did not dare to open anymore. Looking at Wei Ruo, he turned to one side.
On the other side, Xiumei and Xiaobei were very busy.
Xiaobei looked at the seafood on the barbecue rack and couldn't help but curiously asked Xiumei: "Miss Xiumei, where did the eldest lady get these seafood? I heard that the Japanese pirates have been acting strangely recently, and the government has banned fishermen from going to sea. , and your seafood is all fresh, it seems that it was just harvested in the past two days."
Xiumei smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you, this is my lady's secret!"
Then Xiumei asked Xiaobei: " What is the young master of your family busy with? He finally got the opportunity to study with the Zanglin layman, so he has been busy for more than half a year."
Xiaobei smiled: "This is also my young master's secret!"
Xiumei snorted softly, She didn't ask further questions. In fact, she just asked casually. She didn't expect to get anything out of the question. Naturally, she wouldn't ask more questions about things that even her young lady didn't necessarily know.
"Miss Xiumei, is your lady in a bad mood lately?" Xiaobei asked next.
"Why is my lady in a bad mood?" Xiumei asked.
"There are all kinds of rumors circulating outside, and they say that your lady's engagement has been broken off by the Xu family." "It's all
nonsense. There is no engagement between my lady and the Xu family. How can you talk about breaking off the engagement? I don't know. What big mouth is talking nonsense?" Xiumei said angrily.
Xiaobei agreed: "Yes, they are really good at making things up. What does the Xu family's regret have to do with this incident? It's obviously our young master that they regretted..." "Who is your young master?" Xiumei asked
. He turned around and looked at Xiaobei with a puzzled expression.
"I mean, our young master is quite happy for the eldest lady because they regretted it, because he knows that the eldest lady doesn't want to propose marriage to them." Xiaobei explained quickly.
"That's natural."
"My young master came back early this time just to deal with the eldest lady." Xiao Bei said again.
"The second young master still cares about our young lady, but this time his worries are unnecessary. My young lady is not sad." "That's good." The two of them said while baking, and after baking
some
, they brought it to the table. superior.
Garlic scallops, garlic oysters, grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken legs, grilled chicken gizzards, grilled eggplant and grilled sweet potatoes.
The meat is fragrant and smells very appetizing.
Xiumei specially introduced: "Miss has prepared different sauces for different ingredients, and they are all marinated to taste. Second Young Master, please try it. Others come to our place and don't get this treatment. Only Second Young Master can taste it if you come here." There are so many kinds of barbecue with different flavors prepared by the lady herself."
"Yes." Wei Jinyi had a warm smile on his lips, as if he could already taste the deliciousness of the barbecue before he even had it in his mouth.
Wei Ruo asked Xiumei and Xiaobei to sit down. As before, everyone ate together and it was lively.
Barbecue should be so lively.

The next day, Wei Ruo was going out to the wasteland in the suburbs early in the morning. When she arrived at the door, she saw that Wei Jin was already there.
"Second brother?" "You said last night that you were going to open up wasteland today. I happen to have nothing to do, so I will go with you." Wei Jin also said.
"Okay!" Wei Ruo was very happy to let Wei Jin also accompany him.
It happens to be a long journey, and if my second brother is with me, there will be someone to talk to on the way.
Wei Ruo got on the carriage, and Wei Jin also rode alongside the carriage.
Wei Ruo was in the carriage, leaning against the carriage, talking to Wei Jin from time to time.
Just like before at Yingzhuyuan in Xingshan County, Wei Ruo talked and Wei Jin listened carefully. Wei Ruo talked more and Wei Jin talked less, but he responded to everything Wei Ruo said.
The two talked for a long time, and the carriage arrived at its destination.
When Wei Ruo got out of the car, he found that Wei Jin had also changed his appearance. After the disguise, he changed into a very ordinary face, except for his eyes, which were unmistakable and as deep as the stars in the vast sea.
"Why is the second brother disguised?" Wei Ruo asked curiously.
"To avoid some trouble." Wei Jin also explained.
"Oh." Although Wei Ruo felt that this answer was a bit vague, he did not ask further.
After more than a month of soil plowing and cultivation, this wasteland changed from its previous desolation and was artificially reclaimed into flat pieces of land.
Rows of field ridges divide the land, and the weeds and rocks have been cleared away.
As he got closer, a not-so-pleasant smell hit his face. Not only did Wei Ruo not show a disgusted expression, but he actually smiled a little more.
This not-so-pleasant smell is fermented farmyard manure. It can make land unsuitable for growing crops and make barren land fertile. It is the hope for the survival of thousands of people who open up wasteland today. , a smell that even farmers can’t get enough of.
Not far away there is a row of newly built simple shacks, which are the temporary residences of the pioneers. Although they are simple, they can at least provide some protection from the wind and rain.
Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi, Xiumei and Xiaobei walked along the newly reclaimed field ridge.
During this period, Wei Ruo squatted down several times to check the condition of the soil. In the process, her clothes and skirts would inevitably be stained, even though she had specially worn more convenient and simple clothes today.
"How is Miss?" Xiumei asked with concern.
"It's very good. It has achieved the results I expected. In more than a month, the soil will be ready for irrigation." Wei Ruodao.
"That's great!" Xiumei said.
"Let's go over there and see if the water source problem has been solved." Wei Ruo continued.
Wei Ruo had considered future irrigation issues when he originally planned this area. Whether it was wheat, rice or other crops, irrigation was a must.
What's more, the early soil improvement process also requires water infiltration.
So while opening up wasteland, they also had to solve the water source problem.
Fortunately, there is a river not far away. As long as a channel is dug to connect it, and then a water truck is used to drive water into the channel, the water can be introduced into the newly reclaimed fields for irrigation.
Several people came to the river together. Wei Ruo saw the government servants and workers digging channels, and also saw a person she hated-Chu Lan.
When Wei Ruo saw Chu Lan, Chu Lan also saw Wei Ruo.
Chu Lan took the initiative and walked towards Wei Ruo...
