It was just dawn when Chen Changsheng was woken up by the "coo-coo" of a chicken outside the house.

"Chicken, eat it quickly! Don't run away!" Sanshou chased after him with a basin.

Under his careful care during this period, the little chicken has grown a lot and is full of energy.

One of them took advantage of him not paying attention, fluttered its wings and flew up to the fence of the courtyard. It looked at Chen Sanshou provocatively but refused to eat.

"Okay, you're brave. You're awesome, I'll call you big brother!"

"You brat, you call me Big Brother Chicken Little. Then what have I become? Have I turned into a little chicken?" Dafu slapped me over.

Sanshou chuckled, "You are still my big brother. No one will take away your position in my heart."

Dafu wanted to say something else, but when he saw Chen Changsheng coming out of the house, he shouted, "Mom, are you up? How much water tofu should we make today?"

Chen Changsheng said, "I'm just delivering two buckets. Mom has other things to do today. You guys just work well at home today and remember to water the house and the fields."

The children nodded and accepted the task.

She continued, "Sanshou, you still drive the chickens and ducks into the fields and let them eat grass and insects. If they start eating rice, they have to rush to the shore."

"okay."

After saying that, Sanshou took a branch in his hand and began to catch the chickens and ducks.

The bullock cart picked up Chen Changsheng and headed to Zheng's home.

Farming has been busy recently, and few people have come to the city. Chen Changsheng's things are placed on the entire bullock cart, and she is still walking beside the cart.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Lizheng's house, Chen Lizheng had been waiting for him all morning.

"Good morning, Uncle Li Zheng." Chen Daniu parked the car steadily at the entrance of the courtyard and said hello, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Li Zheng rarely goes to the county town on weekdays. He only goes to Baishui County town when there are important things to do in the village or when it involves buying and selling fields, and he mostly goes there on foot.

On weekdays, women from various families go to the city to sell some eggs, dried vegetables, etc., so they take the bullock cart.

"Go to the Yamen to do something." Li Zheng replied.

Because he was going to the county government office, Chen Lizheng specially changed into clean and decent clothes today. When he was firmly on the cart, Chen Daniu shouted, and the cart jolted toward the county seat.

"Dafu Niang, why don't you get on the oxcart?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Changsheng walking beside the oxcart and couldn't help but ask, "There is still room in this car."

"Uncle Li Zheng, Dafu Niang always walks to the city by herself." Chen Daniu has been driving every day in the past few days, and has become familiar with Chen Chusheng's family. Naturally, he talks more, and looks like he is not surprised. said.

"Why is this? Is it to save travel expenses? Yes, a round trip costs two cents, and you can buy a meat bun. Then my old man won't sit down anymore. We can't waste this money." With that, the others were about to go. Jumping under the bullock cart.

Chen Daniu quickly stopped the cart and said, "Hey, uncle, uncle, sit tight and don't fall off." He was afraid that Chen Lizheng, an old man, would play some exciting jumping games.

Chen Changsheng explained with a smile, "Uncle, I walked into the city because I felt a little weak. I feel tired every now and then, so I wanted to walk to exercise my body. As the old saying goes, walking a hundred steps after a meal will keep you alive. To ninety-nine?"

"Then I want to take a walk. I'm only fifty-eight. If I take a walk, I might live to be ninety-nine." Li Zheng said with a serious face. Life in the village finally got better, and he didn't want to go like this so early. , I still want to hold my grandson in my arms.

The old man's bone health is not as good as that of the young man. The journey to the city is so far, and the knee joints will definitely not be able to bear it. If it causes meniscus damage, then Chen Changsheng has done a great evil.

After she bought her own bullock cart, Chen Changsheng couldn't walk like this every day. Walking too much would be tiring and time-consuming.

The joints of young people are joints too.

She quickly tried to dissuade him, "Uncle, you should just sit still. Last time I went to the city, a doctor said that as people get older, they should not walk more and maintain bone health."

"Really?" Chen Lizheng listened with suspicion, always feeling that Dafu Niang was deceiving him, but every time Dafu Niang said and did things, they were very reliable.

The oxcart swayed to the gate of Baishui County, and the waiter from Liuji Restaurant was already waiting.

Li was watching Chen Changsheng hand the two buckets in the car to the waiter, and said, "Is this the food business run by Dafu Niang? It's really incredible."

There was no sourness or jealousy in his tone, but full of admiration.

It is not easy for a woman, a widow with four children, to live a good life and run a small business to support her family.

No, it should be said to be remarkable.

If the men and women in the village could be like Chen Changsheng, their lives would have been prosperous long ago.

Chen Changsheng smiled: [Where are you now? There will be two more barrels later. 】

After she finished delivering the goods to Ruyi Restaurant and the wharf, she looked back at Li Zheng with an incredulous expression, "Mother Dafu, your business is so big. You have taken over the business of Ruyi Restaurant and the Shen family. "

Li Zheng was still a little unsure when he heard Chen Changsheng say that she had paid for the brick kiln in the village. But now that he saw how good her business was, he realized that she had really made some money.

As soon as the ox cart turned to the street where the Baishui County Government Office was located, Chen Daniu immediately stopped the cart, agreed with the two of them on the time and place to return to the city, and then went to do his own business.

When the two of them were about to reach the gate of the county government office, Li Zheng said in a low voice, "Dafu Niang, when we enter the government office later, we will be smarter, talk less and look less, and we will come out as soon as we finish the land deed documents."

He had been to the county government many times in the past, and every time he was embarrassed by the government chief named Li and had to pay tolls, so he kindly reminded him.

Chen Changsheng nodded calmly.

Seeing Chen Changsheng's appearance of not being timid at all, and not seeming to be intimidated by the majesty of the Yamen, Li Zheng was filled with admiration in his heart. The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family was really capable of doing this. An ordinary person, let alone a woman, not even the men in the village could bear this majesty.

Chen Lizheng still remembers that when he first entered the Yamen, he was so scared that he almost peed. If his predecessor Li Zheng hadn't taken him with him, and if he hadn't insisted on coming to the government office to apply for land deeds, Chen Laigen would never have had the courage to step into the county government office.

As soon as Li Zheng stepped up the steps, the county government door opened, and a government official came out.

"Uncle Cha, I am the village chief of Chenjia Village. I am here today to help people go through the land deed procedures. Please make it convenient for you and help show the way." Chen Lizheng said with a hunched back and a smile.

Then, he took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and secretly stuffed them into the other party's hand. "This is a small thought. I'll treat you to a glass of wine. I'm sorry to bother you."
