Chapter 203: Confession is more intense
"That's just wonderful."
Tong Huaqiong formulated a fungicide and insecticide for ear rot, which made Liu Tielian more excited than the news of hiring someone.
The corn fields in the entire Qinghe Bay area become sick at this time every year.
The well-growing corn ears were covered with mildew and bollworms, and no one had a good solution.
This results in a reduction in corn production every autumn.
Although the effect of the medicine has not been seen yet, Liu Tielian believes in Tong Huaqiong.
I had misjudged Tong Dajiao before. I didn't expect that she was not only good at business, but also good at farming.
She was willing to distribute the medicine she prepared to everyone. Not only should she be invited to the village ancestral hall to offer incense a hundred years later, but she should also be commended by the imperial court even now.
Liu Tielian planned to report the matter to the emperor and discuss it with him when County Magistrate Liu came to the village again to inspect and guide the work during the autumn corn harvest season.
And it is only right that he says so.
After all, County Magistrate Liu is Tong Huaqiong's half-godson, so she might not take the initiative to ask for credit in order to avoid suspicion.
Liu Tiejian asked excitedly: "Where are the medicines?"
Tong Huaqiong said, "Village chief, don't rush to ask about the medicine. Go to the fields where I have sprayed the medicine and see the effect first."
Liu Tielian said, "I believe you. I will help you hire someone first, and then I will go to your house to discuss distributing medicine to everyone."
After saying this, Liu Tielian ran out the door like a rabbit.
As he was walking on the ridge of the field, he happened to pass by Gu Dahan's cornfield which had already been sprayed with pesticides. He couldn't help but go down to the riverbank to take a look.
Wow, the mildew spots on the corn ears in the corn field after spraying pesticides have been reduced, and a layer of black bollworms have fallen on the ground. The corn plants are very energetic facing the wind. Compared with the corn stalks in the neighboring fields that are wilted by bollworms, the corn stalks of Tong Huaqiong's family look more handsome.
This medicine works!
This medicine can increase production in Qinghe Bay!
Village chief Liu hummed a song, stepped on the grass, and walked through the path beside the cornfield with full energy to help Tong Huaqiong hire people.
After asking the village chief for help, Tong Huaqiong returned home.
Before I reached the door of my house, I saw a carriage approaching from afar.
The carriage was decorated so exaggeratedly and coquettishly that it was obviously the carriage of Mr. Qian, the owner of Fengle Building opposite Taohua Dessert.
Tong Huaqiong was a little embarrassed. Could it be that Boss Qian had gone crazy and chased someone to her house? Could it be that he had come to propose marriage?
She thought about how in her previous life, because she rejected a male classmate who was pursuing her, she became the Tong Da Jiao of this era.
If Boss Qian's confession could turn her back into the modern graduate student Tong Huaqiong, she hoped that Boss Qian's confession would be stronger.
"Boss Qian, what's wrong with you?"
He Chao was sitting opposite Boss Qian. He noticed that something was wrong with Boss Qian's expression when the carriage set out from Yanguan Town.
Sometimes excited, sometimes sad, sometimes contemplative.
From time to time, he would take out a bronze mirror and look at his face.
The closer to Qinghe Bay, the more obvious the symptoms.
Boss Qian said cheerfully: "Nothing, just a little nervous."
He Chao didn't understand why Boss Qian was so nervous.
Could it be that he is afraid of his boss? He Chao felt that it was because Boss Qian did not understand his boss.
It is said that He Chao brought his wife Hong to Tong Huaqiong's house in Qinghe Bay. When they were trying to hire a carriage in front of Taohua Dessert, they met Boss Qian.
Since Feng Le Lou was a VIP customer of Taohua Dessert, and Boss Qian would pop into the shop from time to time, He Chao and Boss Qian quickly became familiar with each other.
When Boss Qian learned that He Chao wanted to hire a carriage to Qinghe Bay, he gave up his own carriage, and the enthusiastic He Chao couldn't refuse.
After He Chao helped Mrs. Hong get on the carriage, Boss Qian also got on and said that he had never been to Qinghe Bay, so he took this opportunity to visit Tong Huaqiong's home together.
He Chao didn't know what Boss Qian felt about Tong Huaqiong, but since he was willing to go, he just followed him.
Anyway, they have already provided the carriage.
"Oh, isn't that the boss?" Mrs. Hong saw Tong Huaqiong standing at the door through the curtain of the carriage and said happily.
"Yes, it's the boss." He Chao said with a smile.
He Chao was no stranger to Tong Huaqiong's yard.
Including this time, he has been here three times.
He saw his boss standing under the big sycamore tree and looking at the carriage.
Boss Qian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. He suddenly retracted his neck into the carriage as if he was scalded by a basin of boiling water.
My face was also burning badly.
Even He Chao could see it.
"Hey, Boss Qian, why is your face red? Is it hot? Is it serious?" He Chao asked with concern.
Boss Qian was a fat man, and the autumn heat was at its peak, plus the carriage was small, so He Chao thought Boss Qian's face was red from the heat.
Boss Qian is panicking. Is this obvious?
"Yes, I'm hot. Why is it so hot today?" said Boss Qian.
"Boss Qian, we are here now."
The carriage stopped under the paulownia tree as Boss Qian felt uneasy.
"Boss." Hong got off the carriage and was supported by Tong Huaqiong.
"Is Sister Hong feeling better now?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
"Thanks to you, my boss, my health has improved greatly." said Mrs. Hong.
In Tong Huaqiong's eyes, Mrs. Hong's face was rosy. In just a few days, she had gained some weight and rarely coughed.
I have the strength to act.
Mrs. Hong's health was getting better, and Tong Huaqiong was happy for her.
"Boss." He Chao got off the carriage.
He Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The first time he came to the Gu family, he was in the capacity of the Zheng family's steward.
The second time was as a creditor.
This time he was the shopkeeper of Tong Huaqiong's shop.
It's a big change in identity.
In just half a year, there have been earth-shaking changes.
However, compared to his role as Zheng family steward, he prefers his new role as the owner of Taohua Dessert.
"Come in." Tong Huaqiong took Hong's hand.
"Shopkeeper Tong."
Boss Qian couldn't help it and stuck half of his head out of the carriage.
When Hong and He Chao got off the carriage, Tong Huaqiong thought they had just borrowed Boss Qian's carriage.
It seemed that Boss Qian had really followed.
"Boss Qian is here too, come in together."
Boss Qian wanted to meet Tong Huaqiong, and when she arrived at Qinghe Bay, she was very nervous, for she was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would not let him into the house.
That would be extremely embarrassing.
Hearing Tong Huaqiong inviting him into the house, it was like a shower of sweet rain falling on a dry land. He excitedly closed the curtain of the carriage, carefully wiped the sweat off his face, and applied a layer of powder before jumping off the carriage.
A gust of wind blew up the curtain of the carriage.
The scene of Boss Qian "dressing up" was seen by Tong Huaqiong and others.
He didn't notice it himself. He happily got off the carriage and smoothed his clothes carefully.
Then he walked towards Tong Huaqiong with a smile.
Tong Huaqiong: "..."
He Chao: "..."
Hong: "..."
Tong Huaqiong invited everyone into the house and served tea.
"Manager He, what brings you to our house today?" Tong Huaqiong asked directly without beating around the bush.
He Chao said: "We have been at Taohua Dessert for a while and have settled down. My wife and I plan to move out and rent a house. We looked at a few places and were not satisfied with any of them. So I discussed with my wife that Qinghe Bay has a nice view and the employer also lives here, so we plan to buy a house in Qinghe Bay and a few acres of land. In the future, I will help the employer manage the shop, and my wife can live a leisurely life in the countryside."
Ever since gaining Tong Huaqiong's favor, He Chao has been planning to establish a deep bond with Tong Huaqiong.
He might as well settle down wherever Tong Huaqiong lives.
Hong thought so too.
When He Chao was in the Zheng family, he never thought about buying land.
In addition, most of the money at that time was used to treat Mrs. Hong and buy medicine, and no property was accumulated.
Now that Mrs. Hong's condition has improved greatly and Taohua Dessert has given her generous dividends, He Chao has begun to think about buying a house and land in the countryside.
Even if he encounters the Zheng family's situation again in the future, he and Hong will have a place to stay.
Even if I go back to the countryside to farm, I won't have to worry about my life.
