After returning home, the family began to clean up the house and cleared out all the east wing rooms. Wang Zifu and Wang Zilu moved to the west wing rooms.

After dinner, Wang Zilu went to Wang Lizheng's house to gather.

The room has been vacated, but there is still one bed and two quilts left, and there is not much food in the house. By then, Jingguan will live at home, so there is no doubt that he will eat at her house.

Wang Dashan drove an ox cart and took Wang Ruixue to the town to buy things.

When I arrived in town, I bought two quilts and bed covers. I also went to a second-hand store and bought a bed, which was delivered to my door.

You can buy sorghum rice, semolina, and dried vegetables at the grocery store, and you can buy suet, pork, etc. at the pork store.

When we returned, the oxcart was fully loaded.

The villagers couldn't help but be curious when they saw it, and Wang Ruixue explained the reason.

In the afternoon, Wang Ruixue went to the fields with her parents, waiting for the spring plowing to resume operations. By then, hundreds of flowers would bloom, and there would be as many flowers as a cow's hair.

Wang Dashan carried the plow and led the cattle in front, while Wang Ruixue and Yao walked behind carrying hoes. At this moment, busy figures can be seen everywhere in the fields.

"Da Shan, you are lucky. You will be able to have close contact with the officials in the capital. It's really enviable." The villagers in the field couldn't help but be envious when they saw Wang Dashan.

"Oh, there's nothing to envy. I'm very worried. I wonder what this official's temper is like?" Wang Dashan looked worried at the moment, with excited and scared eyes.

"That's what I'm saying." The envious look in other people's eyes was gone at this moment. If this was a bad thing and offended the official, hey, I don't know if he is still alive. The look in Wang Dashan's eyes was a bit worried.

When he was approaching the field, he was stopped by someone.

"Dashan, when your family finishes plowing their fields, lend me your cow to plow the land." When the villagers saw Wang Ruixue's strong cow, an unknown meaning flashed in their eyes, and they stopped what they were doing to ask.

Before Wang Dashan could speak, Wang Ruixue said with a smile: "Uncle, it's okay, five cents a day, plus food for the cows." The look in his eyes just now was seen by Wang Ruixue, and there was no way to take advantage.

The joke is that once borrowed, there are so many people in the village who don't have cattle, and her cattle will die from exhaustion. Now the villagers have money in their hands, with less than five cents, and some people who want to take advantage are eliminated.

"What? Five, five cents a day?" The villager choked, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he suddenly stopped thinking.

Wang Ruixue smiled innocently on her face, but in her heart she was fiercely contemptuous, "Yes, uncle, my cows help your family plow the land and earn some hard money."

A woman suddenly said in a strange tone: "Oh, Ruixue! It's unreasonable for us, fellow villagers, to borrow money from oxen to plow the land."

The others did not speak. Their meaning was obvious. They agreed with what the woman said, but they did not dare to offend Wang Ruixue's family.

Wang Ruixue glanced at the woman and wanted to have sex for free. She and Tie Shi played very well, and they were indeed the same.

"Ms. Tao, what you said is wrong. My family doesn't force me. You don't have to borrow it. I just have to follow your words. We are fellow villagers. Then if you help my family do things in the future, my family won't have to pay me. You can help me." I can't justify asking for money." Do you think her mother is just a decoration? If you want to bully her daughter, there is no way.

Well, Mrs. Tao choked and was speechless. She looked embarrassed. A trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to get angry. She could only apologize and said with a smile: "Oh, Ruixue Niang, don't be angry, I didn't mean that. This is not a joke on your daughter."

"Oh, look at what you said, do you think my tolerance is so small? I just made my words clear to prevent some people from talking nonsense." Yao's face was filled with joy, and he clenched his hand holding the hoe, wishing to knock Tao's A hoe.

How could Mrs. Tao not realize that he was talking about her? She suppressed her anger, stopped talking, and lowered her head to work.

"What my daughter said is also what I mean. If you want to borrow a cow, give it money. Nothing in the world is free. If you don't give money, you won't borrow it." Wang Dashan looked at them and said, if he hadn't been a man and didn't care about a woman, otherwise She must be beaten to death.

Yao took Wang Ruixue away.

After Mrs. Tao watched Mr. Yao walk away, she glared at their backs, spat, and cursed in her heart: "Bah, who do you really think you are? If you don't just know how to make money, what's the big deal? If not, For the sake of copper coins, I will give your family a good look."

When they arrived at the field, Wang Dashan began to plow the land, and Yao and Wang Ruixue began to weed.

Squat down in the ground, pull the weeds out of the soft ground, shake off the soil from the roots, and then throw them into the basket.

The spring breeze blows by, bringing with it a chill. The spring sun is very bright, but it doesn't have the slightest scorching heat. Instead, it gives people a sense of warmth.

Wang Ruixue threw the weeds into her basket and thought for a moment, "Mom, don't use Tao's when the workshop is started."

"Don't worry, daughter, do you remember? Mom holds a grudge and bullies my daughter in front of me. We don't need to help such people. The same are the ones just now. They are all a bunch of freeloaders." Yao looked down upon the most. Such people.

"Haha, mother, you are so kind," Wang Ruixue is very happy to have such a mother. In modern times, if she is bullied, her mother will not help her. It would be nice if she does not follow others to bully her.

"Silly boy, you are my mother's darling. If my mother is not good to you, who will you be good to?" Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter dotingly.

The village was particularly lively at this moment, with men, women, and children coming out one after another, and everyone's face was filled with excited smiles.

"Ouch, I feel like a dream right now."

"Who says it's not the case? I will be able to meet the imperial officials in my lifetime, haha. That's enough to brag about in front of other villagers."

"Oh, I just don't know if this Beijing official is fierce or not."

"I didn't expect that officials from the capital would come to our small mountain village to learn how to grow cassava."

"We can see the imperial officials, and we have to thank that girl Ruixue."

"Yeah, if she hadn't discovered cassava, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see the capital officials, not even the county magistrate."

"Yes, yes."

"Hey, I haven't seen this county magistrate before, but I'm about to meet the capital official."

"I think the county magistrate will come when the time comes."

"The old men and children are pulling weeds, the women and children are sweeping the floor, and the men are reinforcing the walls." Wang Lizheng followed the men after making arrangements and began to strengthen some of the walls that were about to collapse.

夜晚

Wang Dashan felt discouraged and felt a little uneasy sitting on the stool, "My dear, dad is so nervous."

Wang Ruixue poured a glass of water for Wang Dashan and encouraged: "Dad, relax, you won't be the only one when the time comes. Uncle Li Zheng, the village chief and uncle will all be there."

Mrs. Yao looked worried and said, "Daughter, do you think these officials will be hard to talk to?"

Wang Ruixue understands her parents' worries. She is scared to death when she meets an official. It is impossible not to be afraid when she meets a Beijing official now.

Wang Ruixue had never seen the Beijing officials, so she could only comfort them, "Father, mother, when the time comes, dad will just discipline them. Don't say anything unnecessary. This official won't punish people for no reason."

"Yes, yes, my daughter is right, I won't say anything more when the time comes," Wang Dashan suddenly felt a little confident, but the shaking legs under the table still gave him away.

"Well, they will live in our house by then. Thinking about it, my mother became a little frightened. Mrs. Yao sighed, with worry in her eyes.

Wang Ruixue held Yao's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid. You must think in your heart that this is an honor."

"Yes, my sister is right," Wang Zifu agreed.

Wang Zilu also nodded in agreement.
