Lian Fang Zhou listened quietly. After Li Shu finished speaking, she was grateful and said, “Uncle Li, you are well-rounded, I don’t even need to ****! If this matter is Uncle Li’s suggestion, then I will leave the matter to Uncle Li. But don’t work too much if Uncle Li is tired!”

Lian Fang Zhou said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

“It’s no trouble!” Uncle Li laughed heartily. The dealer just gave away money and didn’t ask about the arrangements, this was an act of great trust and respect towards Uncle Li. Naturally, he was very happy with Lian Fang Zhou’s actions.  

Lian Fang Zhou stood and went home.

The next day, Third Aunt kept the younger siblings home to cook lunch again. There were two big bones and some pig trotters that would be used to make soup.

Because Liu Jia was coming, after discussing with Ah Jian, Lian Fang Zhou asked Ah Jian to take Lian Ze to oversee the work at Shi Touping. She would wait for Liu Jia at home and help Third Aunt with the cooking.

As for the construction of the cowshed in the backyard, Lian Fang Zhou only went to see it once when Uncle Li brought the workers to the door so she could say a few polite words. She told Uncle Li to talk to her if he had any concerns but Uncle Li was in charge.

At noon, Lian Fang Zhou went to Shi Touping as usual to deliver food.

Today’s work on Shi Touping was to divide into several groups and walk from different directions to search for some leftover stubborn tree and shrub roots, and cut down the charred but unburned small shrubs and small trees. All the roots needed to be dug out and the ground cleared, so that tomorrow it would be more convenient for the cattle to plow.

After the roots and trees were pulled up, they would be piled together and taken away in the donkey cart to be used for firewood.

After returning with the lunch dishes, Lian Fang Zhou took a moment to look at the backyard. By now, the walls of the cowshed had been finished. They formed a rectangle, about six square meters, with three inner walls. Later, they would nail the wooden strips and by tomorrow they could cover it with the roof. It really would only take them two days to build it.

Lian Fang Zhou only glanced at it and didn’t bother the workers. After a while, Lian Che came over to call her, saying that there was a visitor.

Lian Fang Zhou realized that Liu Jia was here, and hurriedly straightened her clothes to welcome him out.

“Miss Lian!” Liu Jia smiled and jumped out of the donkey cart, walking into the yard.

Lian Fang Zhou welcomed him into her home with a smile and said: “Uncle Liu is here! Come in and sit and have a cup of tea!”

Liu Jia didn’t refuse, and entered the house with a big grin.

Third Aunt was busy in the kitchen and could not come out, so she asked Lian Che to pour water.

Liu Jia was aware of the situation of the Lian family in the last few days. After sitting for a little while, he smiled and asked Lian Fang Zhou if she was ready to see the paddy fields. Then he asked, “Yesterday, Miss Lian also said she had something to talk about, I don’t know what this is about?”

“There is!” Lian Fang Zhou said simply and explained the matter, speaking very politely. She smiled and added: “Just thinking that Uncle Liu is from the city and there must be many people he knows. I am not sure if you are able to help, if its too much, you don’t have to trouble with it!”

Liu Jia laughed and said, “Miss Lian can really talk! Even if you are really embarrassed, you have to reluctantly do this, otherwise, how can you feel sorry for it?”

Hearing this, Lian Fang Zhou knew he was joking and he had agreed to help. She couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Uncle Liu is making fun of me! Thank you, Uncle Liu, in advance!”

Usually, Liu Jia just worked as a middleman and he relied on this for his food. Therefore, Lian Fang Zhou’s words were not abrupt but actually appeared very open and bright, at least to Liu Jia’s gut feeling.

Liu Jia smiled and waved his hand and said: “It’s nothing more than a little bit of lip service. It can’t be considered a benefit, otherwise what will happen? In the future, if Miss Lian has business, it will be enough to take care of me!”

Lian Fang Zhou laughed when he heard this, and said, “Uncle Liu’s words are really interesting! You are the only business in Yuhe County, how could I take care of everything!”

Liu Jia couldn’t help laughing.

“Well, I’ll deal with the charcoal first. It’s already mid-November, and the weather is cold. It’s time to sell! If the color is good, you won’t need to worry about sales at all!” Liu Jia said with a smile.

“Don’t worry about this! We use hardwood to burn charcoal. Not only is it resistant to burning, it has no smell and has less ash. The ash is heavier than softwood and will not fly around! I will show you to Uncle Li’s house? It just so happened that Uncle Li was helping to build a cowshed at my house today, should I call him over?” Lian Fang Zhou asked with a smile.

Liu Jia smiled and nodded, and waited for Lian Fang Zhou in the yard.

Lian Fang Zhou rushed to the backyard, calling “Uncle Li” and beckoning him.

Uncle Li realized the landlord from the city must have arrived and his eyes lit up. He quickly agreed and stepped down from the ladder on the shed, rubbing his hands together as he walked towards Lian Fang Zhou.

“Uncle Liu in the city has already arrived, and is going to your house to see the charcoal!” Lian Fang Zhou said with a smile, and then lowered her voice: “What do you think, let’s give him two bags to go back to try?”

“This is natural.” Uncle Li was not a stingy person who even wants the chicken intestines and small bellies. He nodded, smiling, and said: “After you left yesterday, I asked your aunt and sister-in-law to pack two bags. They are the best pieces!”

“Uncle Li and Auntie have always been thoughtful, I just said this for nothing!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled, and the two came out of the backyard.

After meeting, Lian Fang Zhou had to introduce them to each other.

Uncle Li had never dealt with people from the city, especially an official, who was considered more distinguished. It was inevitable that he would be a little nervous and restrained. He smiled, not knowing what to say.

But who in Liu Jia’s business had he not met? As soon as he saw Uncle Li like this, he knew he was an honest and loyal farmer, and he nodded in his heart. Such a person would not play tricks and deceive others.

Liu Jia immediately greeted Uncle Li very politely. When Uncle Li saw him doing this, his nervous heart slowly relaxed, and the three of them chatted about current gossip while they walked to Uncle Li’s house.

At home, Li San He was waiting for Liu Jia to come. Aunt Zhang took Li Juan to the vegetable garden, but Madam Zhao did not know what to do.

Seeing people coming, Li San He greeted him with a smile.

Compared to Uncle Li, Li San He was also a loyal person but much better at talking.

Liu Jia had no reason to be vague, directly going to see the charcoal after a few words of greeting.

Seeing the charcoal, Liu Jia’s eyes lit up and he smiled, praising them with compliments. Even though he patted his chest, he said, “It’s good, it can definitely be sold! Leave this matter to me! Not only It can be sold, and it can be sold at a good price!”

Li Shu, Li San He, and Lian Fang Zhou were all overjoyed.

Liu Jia smiled and said, “I have something to do, so I won’t stay any longer! You can make the preparations, I will come again in three to four days and give you a letter of good faith!

Li Shu and Li San He both agreed and thanked him with a smile.
