“If there’s a problem, tell me now.”
Ye Muyu sat down behind the desk, and Chu Heng stepped forward to massage her.
Luo Tian was surprised by the harmonious relationship between the new Master and Madam, but he was even more happy that the long-term workers in the village had a way to survive. He did not dare to say anything more and quickly thought about it seriously before raising the question. “In response to Madam, we have no experience in building houses. I’m afraid we need the help of a carpenter.”
“Also, if the tea trees are transported to Luzhou, I’m afraid not many will survive in the end.”
“I’ll think of a way to resolve it.” Ye Muyu’s first thought was to find someone from the caravan who transported the trees to take charge of this matter. It was not difficult.
“Other than that, Madam, the days are too cold now. We can’t grow any food. I’m afraid there won’t be any harvest. As for the specific work next year, we still need Madam’s orders.”
“Isn’t there a shed? You guys try to plant some cabbage and carrots. I’ll arrange other things for you to do later. The food will also be sent over.” Ye Muyu arranged everything.
Luo Tian happily went back to tell the news.
For a time, the Lu estate was very lively.
Ye Muyu sat in the room and wrote a proposal.
The weather was getting cold, and her hands would get cold after writing for a while.
“Ah Yu…” Chu Heng walked in from outside the house, holding a hand warmer in his hand. He quickly walked to the desk. “Warm your hands first. Don’t be in a hurry to write. This house hasn’t been lived in for a long time. It’s very cold. You should go back to your mother’s house and stay at night.”
“It’s fine. I’m just taking a look. I’m just worried that Luo Tian won’t do things meticulously. I’ll also write down all the preparations that need to be made. I think Luo Tian is still literate. He can take it and make some plans.”
“If he’s not meticulous in his work, it’ll be fine to replace him.” Chu Heng took the brush from her hand and stuffed the hand warmer into her hand.
Ye Muyu instantly felt a warmth from her palm and smiled. “Ah Heng, I’m not cold. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you for giving me a hand warmer. I’m very happy.”
Chu Heng also smiled and pinched her cheek. “What are you thanking me for? I’m your husband. It’s only right for me to care about you.”
“It’s getting late. Let’s go back to the Ye residence first.” Chu Heng glanced at the sky and habitually pulled her into his arms.
Ye Muyu thought about it and did not refuse. She kept the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone.
Outside the house, she saw Old Madam Ye and Ye Dejiang waiting at the door, as well as Ziluo who was having a good time.
“Daughter, the land here is fertile. If we use it to grow rice and wheat, the yield won’t be low.” Old Madam Ye clicked her tongue. “It’s such a waste to plant tea trees. People grow tea leaves in the mountains. They’re planting them in land normally used as paddy fields, so no wonder the yield is low.”
“They even got soil specially transported here to plant the tea trees. In the end, the weather is bad and the cost of the tea leaves is high. It’s such a waste.”
“What a pity.” Old Madam Ye told Ye Muyu about it when she saw Ye Muyu. “Daughter, don’t be stupid like the Wang family. They used the land to plant tea trees instead of grain. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“Mother, I’ll listen to you. We’ll plant rice and wheat.” Ye Muyu nodded.
Old Madam Ye felt relieved and went home. When she passed by her vegetable field, she asked Ye Dejiang to pick the vegetables.
Han Zhuang was ordered by Ye Muyu to go back and find someone. The caravan also needed to inform Butler Luo in the county to arrange the team.
