Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Sure enough, there was less ice on the ground at the entrance of the village, and there were obvious marks of being shoveled on the road in the middle, but it was not particularly clean.

But when you step on it, you won't feel like you will fall at any moment.

It was cold at the moment, and not many people in the village were outside, but they knew that there were many carriages and horses coming from the Zhou family's village outside the village.

When Manbao and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, it happened that the lijing had to go out to find them.

It's nothing serious, just ask hello, after all, the villagers are all tenants of the Zhou family, aren't they?

As soon as he saw Man Bao and a few people, the chief immediately stepped forward and saluted, "See Sir Zhou."

Man Bao hurriedly returned the gift, the other party was very old, she didn't dare to accept the gift in vain.

The lieutenant smiled, "Master Zhou, is the whole family here to play in Zhuangzi?"

Man Bao smiled and nodded, "I heard that it snowed in Yongzhou two days ago, so let's enjoy the snow."

The rior didn't know what to reward the white snow. Doesn't it snow every year? However, he still greeted him with a smile.

Now that they met, Man Bao naturally asked about the situation in the village, "Have all the eggs given to you hatched chicks?"

The lieutenant smiled and answered "yes" and said, "Everyone is very attentive. As long as the hatched chicks are raised in the house at the moment, they eat and drink like people."

This is of course impossible, and chickens are still worse than people.

Man Bao was very satisfied with this, and asked about the spring planting next year, "Is it time to prepare the grain seeds. Is the village going to replace the new grain seeds this year, or use the ones left at home?"

The mayor said: "We thought about picking out the best part from our own family, and then buying some new grain seeds from the county to replace them. We said before that this grain..."

"I'll pay half of the money," Man Bao said, "I know, I'll ask someone to go to the grain store in the city and look carefully to see if there are any particularly good grains."

The long table smiled and responded, talking to people who knew how to farm would be a peace of mind.

Man Bao finally asked about the winter, such as whether the villagers prepared enough firewood...

As soon as the chief said that everyone was prepared, and that the preparations were quite adequate, Man Bao immediately proposed that he wanted to buy some firewood from the villagers.

If you want her to say, it's only a few dozen pennies, so why borrow it, just buy it directly.

Bai Shan thought so too.

The chief has been thinking about the smell, and they came to the village to buy firewood.

But everyone in the village is Zhou Man's tenants. She has requirements, not to mention buying and lending, she asks directly, and the tenant farmers can only give.

The lieutenant hesitated for a while, and decided to form a good relationship, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it just firewood, it's not worth much, where can I buy it? In this way, I'll take out a few bundles from my house, and I'll send them to other houses. One piece is enough."

Man Bao declined, "It's far from the mountains and forests, and we have to walk a long way to get firewood. How can we just take everyone's things?"

Seeing her sincerity, the lieutenant simply pointed it out and said, "It's not a valuable thing. Besides, Master Zhou didn't ask for grass this year, and everyone has less work to cut grass, so we have time to collect so much firewood. We should give the firewood in the village."

Only then did Man Bao remember the pasture. In previous years, the tenants in the village had to provide pasture to the chief officer of the field.

However, there are not many horses in their family, and there are quite a few mules, but the former has always been raised by Bai Shan and his family, and they use the best grain and grass, and they don't look down on the grass here;

The latter is in charge of Chuu Lang, and I don't know where he got so much hay. Anyway, the mule is not thin, and he can still earn a lot of money every day.

In the end, at the insistence of the chief, Man Bao accepted the twenty bundles of firewood he had collected and sent them to the village by the villagers.

As soon as the old Zhoutou heard that it was a free gift, he was very happy, and then he accepted their love and said to Zhou Dalang and his wife: "Don't say, although they are lazy, they are not bad people. Wei, except don't let them be too lazy, anything else, it's a good thing to help."

Zhou Dalang responded and asked, "Father, shall we go back tomorrow afternoon?"

"Why don't you go back here?" Old Zhou said, "If Mr. Zhuang said that Man Bao was in a bad mood, he wanted to come out to see the snow, climb the mountain to relax, and I wouldn't go out on this cold day."

Zhou Dalang didn't really want to go back, "I have discussed with my mother, and I want to stay in the village to raise some chickens and ducks."

He said: "While we are free now, let's buy some eggs and duck eggs to hatch, and then tidy up the other unorganized areas in the village."

The main reason is that their husband and wife would help out on the east side of the capital, and follow the helpers in the west side, and they were very idle.

So Xiao Qian's meaning is, it's better to live in Zhuangzi, have something to do, wait for the parents and children, and then go back to the capital, it's not far away anyway.

The old Zhoutou was thinking, and Zhou Dalang continued to talk: "She still wants to pickle some dried vegetables, as well as fish, meat, etc. The house over there in the capital looks very good, and there are occasional guests at home, if it is on the eaves I'm afraid it's not good to dry the meat."

Old Zhou Tou remembered the bacon, sausage, and all kinds of bacon and cured meat made by his eldest daughter-in-law, and immediately nodded: "Okay, then you all stay."

After thinking about it, he said, "Let's stay with you."

Anyway, when he went back to the capital, he also went to the restaurant to help, there was not much to do, and after Man Bao went back, he had to go to the palace, and he had to meet on the eighth day of the next month, so he thought about it and said, "I'll ask Erya and me for some more. Money, let's go buy some meat and vegetables and come back and sit down, this year we are in the capital for Chinese New Year, and there are quite a few people eating."

Thinking of buying vegetables, Lao Zhoutou complained, "We came here too late and forgot to grow vegetables. In the future, we will still have to grow the vegetables ourselves. By the way, is there any place in Zhuangzi where we can grow vegetables?"

Man Bao, who was sitting obediently waiting to eat, immediately interjected, "Father, there needs to be more space in this village for me to grow things."

Old Zhou Tou asked, "Grow the weeds you dug out from outside?"

"Why is it a weed? Maybe it's a medicine," Man Bao said, "Everything in the world can be used as medicine. Li Ru just said that Manager Zheng has contacted me with a batch of medicines, and I want to try it in Zhuangzi. One of a kind."

Some are also grown in the houses in the capital. They are grown separately, and the survival rate is a little higher. This was collected by the pharmacist with a lot of effort by Manager Zheng.

Of course, in addition to the medicines given by Manager Zheng, there are also things she is interested in buying from the mall, as well as things dug out from outside, hehe...

People come and go in the big mansion in the capital. She doesn't dare to plant things in the mall, but Zhuangzi is basically her own family, and her elder brother and sister-in-law take care of it personally. She is very relieved, so she plans to find something novel. plant.

For example, Keke said that grain seeds that cannot inherit the second generation of good genes.

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass
