After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 410: Village Chief Yang Invites
Grandma Bai is the most leisurely person today.
Because the government officials today only accepted potatoes from the Bai family, the Bai family was responsible for providing lunch for their group today.
She went outside to do some work for a while, then went straight to the kitchen to prepare food.
There are many people but few people to help in the kitchen, so we can only choose to make simple dishes.
A pot of braised food is the simplest, then stir-fry seasonal vegetables, a combination of meat and vegetables, steam a big pot of steamed buns, and boil a big pot of minced meat soup. Although it is not exquisite, it will definitely fill you up.
Bai Qingyun took the snacks directly to the kitchen and took out two large pots of Michelin-made buns, saving Grandma Bai a lot of trouble. Only then did she feel at ease to go out again.
"Bai girl!" As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Village Chief Yang waiting at the door. Yang Daming was no longer beside him.
I think he went to help in the fields. After all, his wife also wanted to earn some money in the village, so she naturally would not miss this good opportunity.
Bai Qingyun stepped forward with some confusion and asked, "Grandpa Village Chief, are you waiting for me? What's the matter?"
He was wearing a thin cotton coat, unlike the coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary villagers. There was not much dust on his body. He was holding a tiger-head cane in his hand. His slightly hunched figure looked energetic, without any sign of old age.
He said with a kind face: "Haha, everyone in the village is busy today, but I, an old man, have a rare chance to relax. After thinking about it, the only person in the village who has nothing to do like me is you, girl."
"Girl, if you don't mind, how about accompanying an old man like me to visit the present-day Dayang Village?"
Bai Qingyun originally wanted to go to Jiangzhou Prefecture. The store was about to open, so she had to go and prepare more to help.
But now, looking at the appearance of Village Chief Yang, his eyes were full of expectations, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
She stepped forward to support him and replied softly, "Since the village chief invited me, Qingyun will naturally accompany me while I am in high spirits."
The old man and the young man left the Bai family and walked towards Dayang Village.
The Bai family is at one end of a main road in the village. On the second day after arriving here, Village Chief Yang gathered all the young and middle-aged people in the village to repair the muddy road in the middle.
Today the main road has become smooth, and the potholes on the road have been filled with gravel and then paved with soil. It has been compacted several times with heavy stone rollers to form the solid village road we see today.
Some wild mint was also transplanted on both sides, imitating the Bai family's previous method. It can not only beautify the environment, but also have the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
Some elderly people in the village, who usually worry about not having enough food and clothing and have no time to think about other things, now ask their children to go up the mountain to find some wild flower seeds for them and scatter them along the wall of the yard.
When I had enough food and clothes, I loosened the soil and applied fertilizer in the vegetable garden, which made it easier to grow wild flowers. I would occasionally take care of the vegetables while watering them. Compared to the past, my life was relatively easy and comfortable.
Now is the season when flowers are in full bloom, and the sown wild flower seeds will bloom quietly one night.
Red, yellow, blue, purple...all kinds of wild flowers bloomed together, unexpectedly decorating the main road of the village into the pleasant scene it is today.
The blooming flowers are interspersed with mint and dwarf tea bushes, forming a unique green belt.
Bai Qingyun had never taken a careful look around, as he always came and left in a hurry. The path to Jiangzhou City was not in this direction, and he rarely stepped on it. Now, when he took a look, he found the place pleasing to the eye and mixed with many surprises.
Village Chief Yang smiled and narrowed his eyes. "When summer comes, every household can pick a few mint leaves from the mint tree at the doorstep, boil them into water and place them in the well to cool them down. They won't have to worry about the summer heat anymore. I learned all this from your family."
"Wild mint is not difficult to find, but it is not easy to go up the mountain frequently in hot weather. It's good now. When I visit any family in the village, can I drink cool mint water to relieve the heat?" Bai Qingyun responded generously, pretending not to understand the test in Village Chief Yang's words.
"Hahahaha, you little girl really underestimate your influence in the village. If you come to our house, let alone mint water, I'm afraid I'll have to keep you at home for dinner, and then go to the market to buy two pounds of pork and an old hen. That's the only way to do it!"
Village chief Yang had a loud voice, and his old laughter was as loud as a bell, which made several elderly people who were resting at home next door laugh out of the yard.
"Village chief, your laughter scared my old hen away!"
"Hey, back then the village chief announced things by shouting. He had to stand on a pile of haystacks, otherwise his voice wouldn't travel far. He learned this by training."
"Yeah, I was so close to it that it almost deafened my ears!"
"Oh, little Bai is here, come to my house and have a seat. I just made meat patties this morning, and they're still warm. I'll get them for you. You're too skinny, you should be fat and plump!"
"No need, Third Grandma. I'm just here to take a walk with the village chief. I had breakfast this morning before going out. My belly is still firm now. If you don't believe me, feel it." Bai Qingyun quickly let go of the hand that was supporting Village Chief Yang, and stepped forward to support the white-haired old man who was walking tremblingly with a cane.
The old man is very old and is one of the oldest people in the village. He has many children in his family and they are all filial to him. Although he has a head full of white hair, it is well-groomed and his eyes are clear without any of the cloudy look of old age.
Seeing this, several people around the village chief Yang's age hurriedly brought out the small stools in their own yards, took out the hot food they had just made in the morning, and soon sat together in a corner of the yard under a bunch of flowers.
Bai Qingyun helped the old man to sit down. Seeing that the old man's calloused and wrinkled hands were holding the chair tightly, she took a small stool from the side, gathered her skirt and sat on it.
"How is Third Grandma doing lately? You always had pain in your legs before, what happened now?" Bai Qingyun looked at the old woman in front of him. When he vaguely saw himself being idiotic, she saw him taking out a piece of dark blue cloth with patches embroidered on it from her arms, and carefully handed the broken snacks inside to him.
It is easy for people to be soft-hearted when they get old, let alone an old man who treats them so gently.
The old man sat on a chair, the cane in his hand trembling slightly. "Much better, thanks to the potion you sent. My eldest grandson's wife is filial. She pours a little out every day and puts it in water. She boils the water, soaks a handkerchief, wrings it out and applies it to my legs. I haven't felt any pain for a long time!"
"That's good. Do you have any more potions? You have to keep using it for it to work."
"Yes, there is more than half a bottle left. Just use a little each time. It will be enough for several months!" The old man was excited for a moment. Bai Qingyun felt his hand tremble slightly, but he did not refute.
No matter how good the medicine is, there will be a day when it runs out. She remembered that when she delivered the medicine to the third grandmother's family, she told them not to be stingy with it, as it would only be effective if the dosage was sufficient.
I think there shouldn’t be many.
