After saying goodbye to Li Dechen and the others, Liu Yiyi went to visit several other farmers, and then went home with Liu Ertiao.

When he got home, Liu Yiyi bought hundreds of blank pieces of paper and placed them in front of Liu Ertiao's reading desk, which was called for Liu Ertiao to practice calligraphy, but the content of the practice was the contract he read out with Li Dechen in the morning. In Liu Yiyi's words, Liu Ertiao, as a protégé of a six-grade official, will also be an official in the future. If the words are too ugly, they will definitely make people laugh, can our Lao Liu family lose that kind of person? No! Can Lord Wang lose that kind of person? No! So in order not to be ashamed in the future, in order to have some face in front of people, practice calligraphy.

After saying that, Liu Erjo didn't even have a reason to refuse, so he had to stay at home obediently and 'practice'.

Seeing that Liu Erjo was so obedient, Liu Yiyi nodded with satisfaction, praised him for a few words, and then went out with the money.

He also had to go and buy willow wood.

According to the address provided by Yuan Fang, Liu Yiyi quickly found a merchant who provided wood.

Thirty willows are not a decimal, and there is a cart of piles of size. Fortunately, the seller's service attitude was not bad, and after hearing that the wood was sent to Yuan Fang's house, he offered to deliver it to the door. Even the price is much cheaper than others. saved Liu Yiyi a lot of trouble, and also let him see Yuan Fang's influence in the carpentry circle, and he became more and more confident in Yuan Fang's production of Quyuan plows.

The delivery was made by a young man who drove a donkey cart. Liu Yiyi took his donkey cart all the way to Yuan Fang's house in Xia'er Village.

After arriving at the ground, Liu Yiyi got out of the car and knocked on the door, but it was Yuan Pei who opened the door. Yuan Pei saw that it was Doctor Liu, so he greeted warmly: "It turned out to be Doctor Liu, please come in." Seeing the young man behind Liu Yiyi, he also greeted with a smile: "Xiaofu, you are here to deliver it today?" Hehe, bring the donkey cart in, the timber is still unloaded to the previous place, trouble you. ”

"What, you all know each other?" After Xiaofu led the donkey into the backyard, Liu Yiyi asked Yuan Pei.

Yuan Pei explained with a smile: "My father and I are both carpenters, and wood is always indispensable in our workmanship. ”

Liu Yiyi nodded, to put it bluntly, Xiaofu and they are the wood suppliers designated by the Yuan family. No wonder it's cheaper to buy raw materials from them.

Walking into the main hall with Yuan Pei, Yuan Fangzheng was sitting there studying the drawings. Seeing Liu Yi coming in, Yuan Fang got up and said, "Mr. Liu is here, please sit down." Pei'er, pour tea for Mr. Liu! ”

"Uncle Yuan is invited." Liu Yiyi returned the salute and sat down with Yuan Fang after he sat down. Said: "Uncle Yuan, I have sent the wood, I don't know when Uncle Yuan will be able to make the first one?" To be honest, Ichijo was also very curious about this plowshare, and wanted to see it as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of his profession, Yuan Fang suddenly came to his senses, and said to Liu Yiyi with a smile: "Mr. Liu doesn't have to be anxious, through last night's measurement, the old man is sure to make the first plow within three days." After that, the second, third, and then faster. I can't delay your farming. ”

"As for the function of the plowshare," Yuan Fang said with some hesitation, "because the old man has never seen this kind of plough before, he can only make some guesses from the map, so he is not sure that he can make a plough exactly like the one drawn on the map." But the old man can be sure that the new plough will be ten times better than the current one! ”

Liu Yiyi nodded, this is normal, if Yuan Fang can really make the same Quyuan plow as the later generations, it will be strange. He said to Yuan Fang: "It's okay to be different, what you ask for is just for ease of use." As long as the new plough is a little better than the current one, one will be satisfied. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Liu can just rest assured about this." Yuan Fang said to Liu Yiyi with a smile. Seeing Xiao Fu pulling the empty car out of the backyard, knowing that the wood had been unloaded, Yuan Fang stood up and said to Liu: "Mr. Liu, the wood has been prepared, the old man is going to be busy first, it's rude." ”

Liu Yiyi also stood up and said, "Uncle Yuan is polite, and Ichichi is also going to retire." In the afternoon, I have to make a ploughshare and deal with some mundane things, so I will not bother anymore. ”

Yuan Fang nodded and instructed Yuan Pei to send off the guests on his behalf, while he went to the backyard first to busy making the new plow.

Liu Yiyi smiled heartily at this, expressing his understanding, in his eyes, the current Yuan Fang is very much like some modern workaholics.

Hike back home. It was discovered that Liu He was not at home.

This has never happened since Liu Yiyi wore it, Liu Yiyi was a little anxious in his heart, could it be that something happened at home? Quickly walked to each room to take a look, and found that Liu Laoshi and Liu Xiaohui were not at home. Only Yanagi sat there obediently 'practicing calligraphy'.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyi's hanging heart was put down. Liu Erjo is still in the mood to practice calligraphy, which means that there is no big problem.

"Erjo, father, mother, and little sister? Why didn't you see them? Liu Yiyi walked behind Liu Lao Er and asked, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”

"Big brother?" Yanagi put down his pen and turned around. looked at Liu Yiyi, with a hint of teasing smile on his face. said: "Big brother, there is a thing, but it's a happy event, big brother don't worry." ”

"Happy event?" Liu Yiyi's heart felt a little bad, could it be that Lao Liu mentioned marrying a wife a few days ago, so he asked, "What kind of happy event?" ”

The third aunt at the head of the village told the eldest brother about a daughter-in-law, and the father and mother were very satisfied, so they went with the third aunt to take a look. If you like it, there will be many sisters-in-law in the family, well, maybe I can have another nephew next year, big brother, you say, isn't this a happy event? ”

Seeing Liu Erjo's hippie smiling face, Liu Yiyi felt unhappy for a while, and a slap was on the top of Liu Ertiao's head, pressing him to the chair under his buttocks, and scolding angrily: "What do you know about this little brat?" Give me good handwriting, I'll take it in a while. ”

"What little brat?!" Liu Erjo turned his head and said unconvinced: "I'm fifteen years old now, and my father said that I will be able to marry a wife next year!"

"Uh..." Liu Ichichi was speechless, Liu Erjo was right, in this era, it is normal to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but marrying a wife at the age of eighteen has become an outlier. I didn't want to dwell on this issue, so I asked, "Daddy, where have they gone, and how long have they been gone?" ”

"It's in Xiaoxinzhuang, not far away. It's been nearly an hour since I've been there, and it's time to come back. After speaking, Liu Erjo muttered quietly: "Originally, I also wanted to go and see it, but my father didn't allow it, and said that he wanted to avoid suspicion, do I have to avoid suspicion when I go to see my sister-in-law?" Really. ”

A black line rose from the corner of Yanagichi's forehead. I thought about it for a while, should I buy a few hundred pages and come back, so that this kid could practice for a few more days?

Fortunately, at this time, Lao Liu and Liu He happened to come back, allowing Liu Ertiao to escape this catastrophe.

Lao Liu entered the house and saw that Liu Yiyi was also there, so he walked over happily, and said to Liu Yiyi with a smile: "Yiyi, you are at home, the third aunt at the head of the village told you a daughter-in-law, your mother went to see it just now, the girl is very handsome, and her net worth is innocent, worthy of you." ”

"Yes," Liu He also said with a smile on his face: "Sixteen years old, handsome, it makes people happy." The most important thing is to have breasts and a big enough buttocks, so it will be a good birth in the future. ”
