Chapter 235 Why are you avoiding me
Hearing Wei Ruo's voice, Shi Dayou came back to his senses, and then said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Xu, in fact, I always feel that there is something wrong when I look at the seedlings in this field these days. I went to the field with my father when I was three years old. Now that I have been planting the field for thirty-five years, I remember clearly when the seedlings looked like, even if there is a little bit of something wrong, I can tell the difference."
Wei Ruo listened carefully to Shi Dayou's words without interrupting.
Shi Dayou continued: "Today's batch of seedlings have grown to this time, I always feel that something is wrong, but I am not sure if there is any problem at the moment. Just now, after listening to Mr. Xu, this idea in my heart became more certain. "
It turned out that not only Wei Ruo thought there was a problem, but Shi Dayou also had the same idea.
Wei Ruo looked at Shi Dayou with a change of gaze, a little more appreciation in his eyes.
"Won't the village chief consider replacing a batch of seedlings?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Hey, even if I'm the village chief, it's still difficult to make this decision. If there is a problem with my judgment, wouldn't I let the villagers follow me to work in vain? What's more, re-raising seedlings now may affect this year's harvest. Everyone is counting on a bumper harvest of rice this year." Shi Dayou felt a headache about this matter and was in a dilemma.
"I have a batch of late rice seeds. The late planting does not affect the yield at all, and the rice seeds are resistant to diseases and insect pests. They are better than ordinary rice seeds and have higher yields." Wei Ruo said to Shi Dayou.
"Really? There are such rice seeds?" Shi Dayou looked at Wei Ruo with surprise and joy.
Mr. Xu has a Zhuangzi himself and is a good businessman. There is no reason to make such a joke with them, so his words are very likely to be true.
"Well, yes, I planted this kind of rice in my own village, and now the seedlings are growing very well. This kind of rice does not have strict requirements on the time for raising seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings. It can grow well if it is planted early and late. It is too late to plant now. .” Wei Ruo further explained to Shi Dayou.
After listening to Wei Ruo's description, Shi Dayou didn't answer immediately.
His expression was tangled, and after a while, he cautiously asked Wei Ruo: "Is Mr. Xu's rice seed very expensive?"
"I will give it to the villagers for free." Wei Ruo said.
Hearing this, Shi Dayou looked surprised: "Send... to us?"
Wei Ruo nodded: "Think of it as some benefits for your village that I bought the land of your Stone Village."
"But Mr. Xu, you have already paid us money."
"I know, but didn't the village chief just say that if I need your help, you will help me? You are kind to me, so I will naturally treat you better."
"But I just said that, we haven't helped you much so far..."
"Not currently, but you have the heart, village chief. Next time, if there is any problem in my winery, I need everyone's help, and I hope the village chief and all the villagers can help me." Wei Ruo said.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, don't worry!" Shi Dayou said.
Wei Ruo nodded: "I was just reminding you about the rice seedlings. The final decision is still up to you. Whether you want to replace the rice seedlings or not needs to be discussed with the villagers, so I won't get involved."
"Okay, I know, I understand." Shi Dayou replied.
"Then I won't bother the village chief, I'll take my leave first." Then Wei Ruo got up and left.
Dayou Shi sent Wei Ruo to the entrance of the village. After Wei Ruo got into the carriage and went away, he returned to the house, packed up his things briefly, and rushed to the field, preparing to talk about the rice seedlings with his fellow villagers.
Coming out of Stone Village, Wei Ruo didn't go directly to the city, but returned to his village.
Wei Ruo's heart tightened, and then he saw Zhu Zongyu wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face.
Seeing the person coming, Wei Ruo relaxed, and then asked with a cold face: "Mr. Zhu, what does this mean?"
Chu Lan got off her horse and walked up to Wei Ruo: "I want to see how long you can hide from me."
He has come several times, but Xu Heyou is not there every time. The person who left a message to Yu Guanshi never replied every time.
Xu Heyou didn't want to see him, but he wanted to see Xu Heyou.
"Mr. Zhu, if I remember correctly, I owe you kindness and not hatred?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Since you are kind to me, why do you avoid me as if you have met an enemy?" Chu Lan asked back.
"I owe you a favor, and you have repaid it, so there is no need to have too many entanglements. As for avoiding you, it is pure nonsense. Now it is the busy season of farming, and I am so busy every day that I don't touch the ground. I don't have time to take care of other things, it's not aimed at Young Master Zhu." Wei Ruo replied.
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he bypassed the people in front of him and walked straight to Zhuangzi's gate.
Just as Wei Ruo was about to walk past Chu Lan, Chu Lan suddenly reached out and grabbed Wei Ruo's arm.
"I found that you have been full of hostility to me since you knew that I was not a merchant. What special meaning does official status have to you?"
Wei Ruo raised her head and glanced at Zhu Zongyu, but unfortunately, she couldn't see his face clearly, otherwise she really wanted to see the disgusting expression on this face that was about to be healed by her.
"Mr. Zhu is thinking too much. I just don't think there is any need for the two of us to have any intersection. On the contrary, I don't understand why Mr. Zhu is so persistent in wanting to see me? Well, you have already reported it. As for your Face, I didn't say not to continue the treatment, and the medicine was given to you on time." Wei Ruo asked back.
Wei Ruo's question overwhelmed Chu Lan.
He didn't know why he was so determined to see Xu Heyou, and even when he found out that he was avoiding him deliberately, he became inexplicably irritable.
The more indifferent he is to himself, the more he can't be calm.
This kind of emotion is not there in the past. In the past twenty years, no one in his life has made him so unsure how to treat him.
And this person is still a teenager.
Why should he care so much about a teenager? Is it because he is his savior? Or was it because they had had a peaceful time together during his weakest hours?
Chu Lan stared at the clear eyes of the man in front of him, trying to find the answer.
However, she didn't find the answer. Instead, there was a string in her heart that was touched by her eyes for some reason.
Chu Lan let go of Wei Ruo's arm.
Seeing him letting go, Wei Ruo thought for a while, but finally he didn't dare to be too angry and offended, so he softened his tone and said, "Mr. Zhu, I just don't want to cause trouble. If you are from a merchant, you will only be attacked by thieves; But if you are an official, and your status is different, then you are not an ordinary person when you are attacked. And this kind of trouble is something that mere civilians cannot afford to provoke."
Wei Ruo's words shocked Chu Lan's heart.
Babies who don’t have sheep to bleat must take care of their bodies.
Those who have a fever, take a good rest and drink plenty of hot water. Let's work hard together.
