Chapter 792 The Most Exquisite Person in Our Family

Qian Duo choked and muttered, "I'm not a turtle, why should I change my shell? I'm just too happy."

Zhou Guo ignored him and said to the crowd, "We don't believe in the boss's right approach in our village. Just say whatever you want to say. Maybe you can come up with some good ideas."

He then explained why the pit was dug so deep.

After the bottom fertilizer is filled in and some wood ash is added, the deep pit will not seem so deep anymore.

Everyone said happily, "So this is how fruit trees are planted. I dug a chestnut tree from the mountain before. It was taller than me, but it died in the end. It turns out that you have to dig a deep hole and fill it with fertilizer."

After filling the base fertilizer, she picked a healthy fruit seedling and planted it, then filled the soil back in, tamped it firmly, poured enough water on it, and then filled another layer of soil and tamped it firmly.

Everyone was dazzled. It turned out that growing fruit trees was not easy. There were so many requirements. No wonder they couldn't grow them.

With her demonstration, the farmhands now know how to plant. How can they not follow her step by step?

In just a few days she traveled between several cities, clearing wasteland, planting fruit trees, digging ponds and raising crabs.

When I have nothing to do, I will go to Tanghe to check the progress.

In short, I just don’t want to go back to the village.

Even though she had been away for a few days, there were still waves of uninvited visitors every day. Even now, there are still invitations delivered to her home every now and then, but most of them are invitations to her visit.

They are nothing more than some girls' parties, flower parties, tea parties and poetry gatherings.

Why would a peasant like her attend these meetings? She has to be busy making money, so how could she have the free time?

It's not like I have nothing to do because I'm full. I'm busy.

Later, perhaps because he saw that she kept refusing,

Each family changed their strategy and sent invitations to her in the name of the boys in their family.

She would rather not go. It wasn't like she was going on a blind date. What was there to say to a bunch of young boys?

Later, they simply said that there was some kind of party at home, that it was the birthday celebration of some old lady, and they invited her to come over. They treated her as a real head of the family like them, and their interactions became very formal.

But Zhou Guo was really not at home, so Li had to bring Wu Ya and Zhou Gu with her.

People have invited them repeatedly and sent them invitations one after another. It would be unreasonable for them not to go to the old lady's birthday party.

The two men dressed up early in the morning. In order not to embarrass Zhou Guo, they wore gold and silver from head to toe, looking very gorgeous.

Just when he was feeling anxious, Zhou Xing arrived. When he saw how they were dressed, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you wearing so much gold on your head? One bracelet on your wrist is enough. Why are you wearing two? And these fingers, eight on ten fingers. Do you think they look good?"

The two were overjoyed, as if they had seen a savior.

Li said, "Why are you here? Your eldest sister-in-law and I are going to visit the Liu family today. It would be unreasonable for us not to go to the old lady's birthday party. Please show us if what we wear is suitable. We have never been to such a family for a banquet, and we are afraid of making a fool of ourselves and embarrassing Guoguo."

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Second Aunt, don't worry, I want to go too. I've been to the Liu family before, so you can just follow me. It's just that this outfit is not appropriate, and people will laugh at you."

The two looked at each other in confusion, "Is this a joke? We just need to put on all the jewelry in the box, isn't that enough?"

Zhou Xing laughed, "No, quite a few people came to our house recently. You saw how the ladies and wives of those families dressed up. People don't care about quantity, but quality. What matters is that they look good. If we go out with a head full of pearls and jade, people will laugh at us for being country bumpkins."

The two of them awkwardly took off the jewelry on their fingers, wrists, necks, and hair. "We thought that occasions like this were all about competing to see who had the most jewelry."

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "You see, the ladies in our family are all well-dressed, but they don't have jewelry all over their heads. They are all very careful about what jewelry to match with their clothes, what colors to match, and even how to comb their hair."

Wu Ya sighed and waved her hands, saying, "Please forgive me. There are so many things to pay attention to when wearing clothes and jewelry. It's good enough to have something to wear. How can I have the time? If I had the time, I would have to hoe an acre of land. I can't learn it."

Li was actually better than Wu Ya. After all, she had learned a lot from the shopkeeper of the cloth shop. When she heard what Wu Ya said, she said, "How can you not learn if you have no future? You can recognize a few words now, so how can dressing and wearing jewelry be more difficult than recognizing words?"

Zhou Xing tidied them up again, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now it's good, it looks great."

The old man felt dizzy watching from the side.

Wu Ya said: "Actually, I think it's fine for Guoguo to wear men's clothes. She doesn't need to wear any jewelry. Just two jade hairpins are enough. It's not that particular."

Neither Mrs. Li nor the old man spoke.

Zhou Xing laughed and said, "You still want to compete with Guoguo? She is not particular? She is more particular than anyone else! The clothes she wears look plain, but they are not plain at all. Whether she wears white or black, she embroiders them with gold-edged cloud patterns. The material looks inconspicuous at first glance, but once you move it, you will know that it is glittering with gold. It is the most expensive in the cloth shop! You can't buy it at ordinary times!

Although the style is not complicated, it must be good-looking, chic and elegant, and tailored to fit. If it doesn’t fit, I won’t wear it. Although it may seem unpretentious, it is the most difficult to please in our family! ”

She had made so many clothes for her over the years. Every time they didn't fit, she would thank her with a smile, and when she turned around, she would put them on Zhou Suli and Li Lai.

This girl's family has been getting better over the years, and her pickiness in this regard is simply outrageous.

Li smiled and said, "She is very particular about men's clothing, and she is also very particular about women's clothing. She has to match them from head to toe."

Wu Ya thought of Zhou Guo wearing that bright red fox cloak, shining with gold. She didn't seem to be wearing many jewelry, but she looked so beautiful and comfortable from head to toe.

He laughed and said, "That's true. Why didn't I think of that? She either doesn't wear anything or wears the best."

……

Zhou Guo, who is in Huaiyang, is still looking for holes in the mountains to plant fruit trees. She gets covered in dust and dirt every day, so she has no time to be particular. Fortunately, she is wearing work clothes, so she doesn't have to worry about getting them scratched or dirty, so she can do whatever is comfortable for her.

After working for a few days, all the fruit trees were planted. Thinking that the twenty or so acres of rice at home could be harvested, she had to go back and harvest them herself.

He patted his butt and went home.

Return to the village in the evening.

The family was about to have dinner.

I was surprised to see her back.

Li said, "We calculated that you would be back soon in the next few days. Come and sit down and prepare to eat."

The old man pointed at her and said, "You came back at the right time. You came back before I even had time to eat."

Zhou Su moved a stool for her and Wu Ya brought her bowls and chopsticks.
