Chapter 198: Flower and Tree Zhuangzi
Although the pond is still a bit shabby now, it will become beautiful if we work on it carefully in the next two days.
Shen Li walked around the other courtyards and didn't find anything that needed renovation. It seemed that these craftsmen were very dedicated.
After seeing off the craftsmen, the family began to clean the yard. After they had been cleaning for a while, my uncle and aunt came over with my cousin and his family, and even several other families came over.
"Brother Changshan, I've finished my family's work, so I came over to help."
Shen Erhe scratched his head, holding a broom in his hand, and spoke to Shen Changshan in a naive way.
The houses of several of their families were completed a few days ago and have now been cleaned. All they have to do is choose an auspicious day to move in.
"Okay, thank you very much. I'll treat you guys to a drink after I'm done with my work."
Shen Changshan did not refuse. The house was too big, and it would be difficult for their family alone to clean it.
"Okay, we're waiting for your good wine."
Lin Hu said, and then started to work first. The others chatted for a few more words and then went their separate ways to clean up.
Xu You and Li Qiaolan also came to help. Their family didn't have much to begin with, but after this incident, they had a lot more. The mother and son knew very well that this was all thanks to their brother-in-law/son-in-law's family, so they often came to do some work within their ability.
Xu Taohua was also helping. She was pregnant now and someone was watching her at home all the time, so she might as well come and do some easier work.
There is strength in numbers. By dark, the house had been almost cleaned, and the remaining detailed work was left for the family to clean.
It was getting dark now, so Shen Changshan didn't keep them for dinner. In the evening, the family cooked something simple, ate, and went to bed.
The next morning, Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui drove out in two carriages, while the others stayed at home to clean, trying to clean the house thoroughly.
They all had good stamina and worked very quickly. Shen Li was the last one to clean her yard. Her yard had a main house and east and west wing rooms, and the ground was paved with large stone bricks. Now that the house was empty, it was very easy to clean.
First sweep the wood chips off the doors and windows, then mop the floor.
There was water in the yard, so I found a wooden basin and some unwanted clothes, tied them to a bamboo pole, mopped the floor roughly first, and then mopped it carefully twice, and it was basically done.
As for the yard, it was quite spacious, with only a bluestone path, pebbles of different sizes paved in the yard, and clear and clean water in the small pond.
She opened the door to the backyard and went into the bamboo forest, carrying a backpack in her hand. After she walked a little further away and made sure that there was no one around, she picked up the moss on the ground.
Then he pulled out a lot of grass from the lawn in the space, planted it on the ground, and then used the wood-related ability to stimulate growth, and soon he got a lawn.
There didn't seem to be any signs of falsification, so Shen Li was very satisfied. She tore off all the grass and carried it back to the yard, leaving a lot of it here.
Go back to the yard and transform yourself into a hardworking gardener, planting grass on the lawn. If it is not enough, go back and move more.
So, when Shen Jingyuan and the others finished cleaning and came over, they saw their little sister squatting on the ground planting grass.
"Ali, where did this grass come from?"
Hearing her third brother's question, Shen Li didn't even raise her head, "You can see it if you keep walking forward in the bamboo forest behind. It's almost gone. Third brother, help me get some back."
"Row."
Shen Yuanzhou just took the backpack and left. Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qian'an were very considerate and were already squatting on the ground helping Shen Li plant.
Together, the brothers and sisters quickly planted grass around the small pond, and finally clapped their hands and called it a day.
As for his hands, he washed them directly in the pond. When he walked towards the front yard, he found that Shen Changshan had returned.
There were also several ox carts that came along, all loaded with furniture. The brothers hurried to unload the furniture, and Shen Li went to get things from the carriage. It looked like they had bought a lot.
The ox cart made several trips back and forth throughout the year before it could transport all the furniture they had ordered.
It took three or four days to finally tidy up the house. The furniture has been put in place and Shen Li's flowers and plants have also been displayed. It was just because of the tight schedule that many places looked empty. But after living there for a while, they will slowly be filled up.
Shen Changshan asked someone to find a suitable day for moving, which was November 5th, three days away. During these three days, the family looked around the house to see if there were any missing ornaments, wrote them all down, and then sold them at once.
Shen Li is not at home at the moment. She has already found out about the largest flower and tree farm in Qingxi County and is on her way there.
However, when passing by the post station, she took out a letter from her arms. It was a letter written to the Lu brothers and sisters.
I promised Lu Nian that I would write to him when I got here, but I was too busy recently and forgot about it until today.
Shen Li drove the carriage towards Suzhou City. After only a quarter of an hour, he saw a flower and tree farm. There was a servant guarding the door. When he saw the carriage stop, he immediately came over to greet him.
"Miss, what do you want to buy? We have a lot of money here."
"Let me consider."
"Okay, please come in."
As soon as I entered, I saw many familiar flowers, such as chrysanthemums, roses, crabapples, osmanthus, camellias, etc.
"No peonies?"
Hearing his question, the servant smiled even more, "Yes, those precious ones are in the greenhouse, please come this way."
Before reaching the greenhouse, they met a short and fat man. The servant greeted him, "Manager Hao, this girl wants to go to the greenhouse."
"Well, go ahead and do your work," he then turned to look at Shen Li, "Miss, please come this way."
Manager Hao has a kind attitude. He has sold many rare flowers and trees on this tree. He has met many important people and is used to it.
The fabric on the girl in front of him was of top quality, and her overall temperament was not bad either, but his master's family was also very powerful, so that was his confidence.
"I wonder what kind of flowers the young lady would like to buy?" Manager Hao asked when they arrived at the flower gate.
"Do you have peony, lotus or water lily, daffodil, orchid?"
The good shopkeeper nodded and said that their farm was specialized in cultivating these flowers and trees naturally, and the varieties were relatively complete.
"They are all in the greenhouse. You can take your time to look at them, young lady."
Shen Li had indeed seen everything he said. Although the lotus season was over, the flowers were being kept very well, perhaps because it was warmer inside the greenhouse.
The same goes for other flowers and trees. Several daffodils have already bloomed, as have the Phalaenopsis orchids.
Shen Li picked seven or eight kinds of peonies alone, including Yao Huang, Dou Lu, Wei Zi, Zhao Fen, Zhuang Yuan, Jinge, etc.
I also ordered several kinds of lotus and water lilies, different types of daffodils and phalaenopsis, and I also bought other beautiful flowers in the greenhouse.
Shen Li also asked for several different kinds of wintersweets, but she only wanted smaller seedlings. Manager Hao frowned deeply.
"Miss, these are too small. We can't guarantee them if you take them back. We won't sell them at the moment."
