Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

Chapter 220 Planting Talented Boy Hongcai

He said that dressing up beautifully is to please oneself.

If you are in a good mood, your learning efficiency will naturally be higher!

Su Yunluo didn’t know whether what he said had any basis, but it was true that he had learned very well.

His current level of knowledge cannot be said to have surpassed hers, but it is definitely just around the corner for him to surpass people of this era.

The books he has read now fill up an entire room.

Among them are books from ancient times, as well as some from modern times.

"By the way, do you have something to talk to me about?" Su Yunluo asked him.

After being disturbed just now, Wang Qiming forgot the purpose of his visit.

After being reminded, he remembered: "Mother, there is something I don't understand here, can you help me look at it. It's Newton's first law..."

Su Yunluo picked up the pen and explained to him without saying a word.

Before I knew it, I had been talking for an hour.

Wang Qiming also gained a deeper understanding of this knowledge point.

"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest."

"Okay, mother." Wang Qiming stood up with the book in his arms, and before leaving, he asked, "Mother, why hasn't Mr. Fu come back yet?"

"Maybe he was delayed by something. Don't worry, your elder brother will take part in the martial arts examination soon, and Master will definitely come back in the next two days."

"Okay. I understand. Mother, you should also go to bed early. Yilin, let's go to bed."

……

Su Yunluo was right.

Three days later, Lao Fu really came back.

But when he came back, he brought back a young boy.

"Old Fu is back." Su Yunluo greeted him with a smile.

Old Fu was flattered: "I'm so sorry, ma'am, I was gone for so long."

"Everyone has things going on at home. Have you finished what you said you were going to do?"

"Yes. Some time ago, I kept dreaming about my dead parents. This time when I went back, I helped collect their bodies and reburied them. I also asked a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, hoping that they could be reborn into a good life in their next life." When the famine broke out, Lao Fu's parents both died on the road.

There was really no other choice at that time, so we could only bury the two men on the spot.

His parents died in a foreign land, which is the most difficult thing for Mr. Fu.

Now that he has the financial resources, he can finally bring his parents' bodies back and bury them properly, which puts his mind at ease.

"It's really strange. On the night after the funeral, I dreamed that my parents said goodbye to me. They were no longer wearing tattered clothes and waved to me happily."

"That's great." Su Yunluo's eyes fell on the young man who was following closely behind Old Fu: "Who is this?"

Old Fu quickly explained, "Oh, this is the son of my childhood playmate. His name is Hongcai. Come on, call him Madam."

The young man timidly called out "Madam".

"When I visited them, the couple was already seriously ill. Although I paid for the best doctors around, they were powerless to be saved. They both passed away within two days. Before they died, they entrusted their only son to me. I thought that after we get to the capital, I would find him a job, and when he saves some money, I would arrange for him to get married. After that, I would not take care of him anymore." Mr. Fu had done his utmost to be kind.

Su Yunluo: "Then what kind of job have you thought about finding him?"

"Well... I discussed this with Hongcai on the way here. He said he doesn't know how to do anything but farming. I thought, why not send him somewhere to be a helper."

Su Yunluo looked at the boy and asked, "Would you like to be a clerk or a farmer?"

"I like farming. But as long as I can survive, I can do anything." The boy was still timid, but his words made Su Yunluo feel that this kid was pretty good.

"So are you good at farming?"

"My father said that I have a better talent for farming than he does."

"Don't brag. Your father was the best farmer in our village."

"I'm not bragging, that's what my dad said to me."

"Okay, you can farm, so you should be able to grow other things too. Stay for a few days and help me take care of the flowers and trees in my yard. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay. No problem." The boy agreed immediately.

Old Fu was a little worried: "Hongcai, the flowers and trees that Madam planted are very precious medicinal herbs. If anything goes wrong with them, Madam won't be able to compensate you even if you give her your life as compensation."

"Old Fu, don't scare the child like that. Don't worry, Hongcai. It's not as exaggerated as Old Fu said. They are just some common medicinal herbs. It would be best if you can grow them well. If not, don't worry. You can just plant a new batch when the time comes."

"Ma'am, don't worry, I will do my best to grow it well."

"Well, let me make it clear. You won't get paid for helping me here. I'll just provide you with food and clothing. But if you plant those flowers and trees well, I can give you a bonus. What will you do?"

"I'll do it!"

"Then it's settled. Old Master, take the child downstairs to have some rest. You can find him a room next to yours to stay in."

"Thank you, Madam." Old Fu is such a smart man, of course he knew that Su Yunluo was deliberately taking care of him and helping him solve the problem.

Old Fu's heart was warm and filled with gratitude.

After taking the boy out, Old Master said earnestly, "Madam, you are kind-hearted. The people in this mansion are easy to get along with. Because of this, we should be more grateful, remember our status, restrain ourselves at all times, and never cause trouble for you. Remember?"

"Uncle Fu, I remember it."

On the seventh day after Old Fu returned, Su Yunluo specially called Old Fu to the study room alone.

"lady."

On the way here, Lao Fu anticipated all kinds of possibilities.

The worst outcome is that both he and Hongcai will be kicked out.

"Old Fu, please sit down." Su Yunluo said with a smile.

After sitting down, Old Fu thought about it again and again, and decided to speak first so as not to embarrass Madam Su: "Madam, is it inconvenient for Hongcai to be here? It's okay, I will find a job for him tomorrow, and then let him move out."

"Old Fu, what are you talking about? I like that kid very much. He doesn't talk much, but he works very hard. Just look at him this morning, he has taken care of all the flowers and trees in the yard. I think he is a talented person who can be used." After seven days of getting along and observing, Su Yunluo thoroughly understood the personality and character of this Hongcai.

This child is honest and kind-hearted. He is someone who can be cultivated.

As for planting, he does have some skills.

As long as I can give him some more guidance, he will definitely become an expert in the field of planting in time!

"Really?" Old Fu realized that he had overthought. "Then why did the lady call you here?"

"I just want to ask for your opinion. What do you think if I hire Hongcai to look after the manor and take care of the ancient trees and medicinal herbs in the manor?"
