After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 335 Watermelon

After Xiao Chiye and the others finished their meal, they went to the study room. Xu Li happened to be there so they could discuss the next steps.

Xu Li took a sip of tea to dilute the taste of animal cream in his mouth: "Are there any movements from those people you are watching?"

Xiao Chiye shook his head: "No, these manors are now managed by the previous people, and they don't seem to have seen the new owner."

Qingfeng fanned the folding fan in his hand gently: "When the wheat is ripe, there should be movement. We need to keep a close eye on it recently."

Xiao Chiye nodded: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong on my end."

Xu Li looked at Li Yuan and said, "Li Yuan, I didn't expect you to be quite good-looking."

Li Yuan's expression did not change at all: "It is better for secret guards not to let others see their appearance."

Qingfeng was also surprised when he saw Li Yuan today. He didn't expect Xia Wanniang to be so powerful that she could cure such severe burns and make him recover as before.

How long has it been? Is it a month?

Xu Li was immune to the strange things happening around Xiao Chiye and his wife. These two people could not be regarded as normal people.

Xia Wanniang was too lazy to explain now: "Has there been any news from Hanyu?"

"The person above has set off. If nothing goes wrong, he will arrive in Luocheng before the autumn harvest." Qingfeng collected his thoughts.

Xia Wanniang now gave him Falcon Three to use. The little pigeon from Sheniu has never left since it came back, and occasionally goes to help gather information.

Xu Li also took out a thick stack of banknotes from his bosom and handed it to Xia Wanniang: "Here."

Xia Wanniang looked at the banknotes he handed over, all of which were worth one thousand taels. "Where did you get them from?"

Xu Li: "Hanyu said you were short of money, so I transferred all the funds I could to you."

Xia Wanniang took it without hesitation. Now all the places where one could get information in Luocheng were in Qiu He's hands. It was time for him to go out and develop an information network in other towns.

She didn't feel guilty at all for taking Wu Hanyu's banknotes. It was impossible for him to do nothing while they worked so hard!

Xiao Chiye: "It's probably not safe for Master Qiu to go out alone."

Xia Wanniang: "I'll let the three brothers of the Xiong family follow. They are quite skilled. Let's start from the towns near Luocheng. I'll let Falcon Four follow us. If anything happens, they can pass on the news so that we can handle it."

Everyone agreed, as they now had some free manpower.

After discussing the follow-up matters, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Xu Li went to Liuyang Village to inspect the condition of the wheat ears. He was stunned when he saw it, because it was obviously better than the villages he had inspected before.

The grains of the wheat ears were full, and the number of seeds was much higher than that of other villages he had visited before.

Judging from what we see now, by the time of harvest, the yield will probably be higher than that of other villages.

He turned to look at Xia Wanniang who had come with him: "Is this considered high productivity?"

Xia Wanniang: "The rice fields are the most productive. After the wheat is harvested, we can plant it again and harvest it by this time next year."

Xu Li's eyes widened: "You mean planting two seasons? Won't they freeze to death?"

Xia Wanniang: "That's not certain. How can you know if you don't try? I have winter wheat seeds in my store. You can reveal them to everyone later. As for whether they want to plant them, it's up to them."

Xu Li's mouth twitched: "Just say no yourself."

"Master Xu is more convincing." Xia Wanniang flattered him without blushing: "I will treat Master Xu to watermelon later. The watermelons in our fields are ripe and will cool you down and quench your thirst."

In fact, all the other crops in her field were ripe, and she had sold a lot of them, but most of them were bought by Yuelai Restaurant.

She kept a lot of watermelons for her children at home, but she also sold some of them as she grew more.

As for the sweet potatoes and potatoes, she didn't sell them because she wanted to use them as seedlings for the villagers.

Nowadays, who would complain about having too much food?

Xu Li blinked his eyes: "What is watermelon?"

After Xia Wanniang waited for him to finish checking the fields, she took her to see the watermelons in the fields. She picked a ripe one and asked Yifeng to take it back home and hang it in the well so that they could eat it when they returned later.

It was also the first time that Yifeng saw this thing. He was very careful when holding it, fearing that it would be broken by accident.
