Depressed little landlord

Lin Xuan and Xu Yang went home and told Butler Hua what the village chief said, and Steward Hua nodded after listening.

"Young master, you can do whatever you want, and we will support you."

"But can we grow it?" Lin Xuan was still worried about the lack of manpower.

Steward Hua also smiled calmly like Xu Yang: "As long as you really want to own those lands and live here, young master, then don't worry about these things, we will take care of it."

Buying someone?

Seeing his confident appearance, Lin Xuan thought of what he and Xu Yang mentioned on the road before, and felt a little awkward in his heart.Then I thought of the housekeeper Xu Yang and Xiaoju. These days, he has really been their family member, but now he realizes that the contract of prostitution of the three of them is still there...

Looking at the smiling Flower Steward, Xu Yang who was busy going in and out, and Xiaoju who was arranging some old or yellowed vegetables in the vegetable field, my heart suddenly felt a little blocked.

Maybe they have always regarded themselves as different from them in their hearts?Otherwise, why would Grandpa Hua and Xiaoju still talk about the young master from time to time, so it seems that only that person would call him the young master in front of outsiders.

Looking at the back of Xu Yang who was harvesting corn and rolling up the corn, Lin Xuan suddenly felt relieved. It seems that he should return their contract of sale to them as soon as possible, so that they can truly become a family.

"..."

Butler Hua, who wanted to say something, suddenly saw that Lin Xuan was silent, and looked over in doubt. He was looking at the yard in a daze, and his face was cloudy and clear, especially now, the smile on his face made him The old man felt blind.

Looking at Lin Xuan, then looking at Xu Yang who was busy in the yard, Manager Hua also looked a little tangled, then shook his head without saying anything, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Young people can do whatever they like, he'd better go and see the young master.

Xu Yang put Gu Da under the eaves and put it away. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Xuan in a daze.

Looking around the room, Xu Yang didn't find anyone else. Xu Yang walked up to the person and raised his hand to brush a lock of hair that fell in front of him behind his ears, while asking in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Xuan touched his itchy ears, and finally saw something else in his sight. Seeing the clear smile on his face, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a way to sneak in.

"No, it's nothing." Fortunately, he didn't see his previous expression, otherwise he would really find one and get in right away.

"I don't know if the village chief is back yet?" Seeing that Xu Yang was still looking at him with a smile, Lin Xuan hurriedly found another topic to change.

"Just arrived." Xu Yang decided not to bother him anymore, otherwise this person would really be burned.Go out and bring in the baskets.

"I saw him just walking past."

Lin Xuan walked to the door and saw that the sky was still bright.Because in summer, even though the sun has been setting for a while, the sky has not yet darkened so quickly.

"Would you like to ask? We can also go and have a look?" Xu Yang asked casually when he came out to move another basket.

Lin Xuan nodded after thinking about it, "Okay, it just so happens that it's not too late, we can also take a look at how the crops are growing."

"Well, let me put this away first."

***

"You guys are here, come in and sit down."

The village chief came back with people from other villages. He went to sell grain today and got some money in his hand, so he bought some meat for the family and a few cakes for his precious grandson. After the things were packed, Xiao Bao also took a piece of pastry and ran to play. Lin Xuan Xu Yang came and greeted him with a smile.

"Your uncle has just arrived, and he is feeding the pigs. You sit down. Old man, Xiaoxuan and the others are here."

"Come?" The village head's voice came from behind, and their pigsty was built in the backyard.

Lin Xuan was a little interested when he heard about feeding the pigs. If it weren’t for the fact that their house is too narrow now, and a lot of things are not in place when they just moved in, and it takes a lot of food to raise pigs, their house is hard to support now, otherwise he would I want to raise them all.

In fact, there are only the village head’s family that raises pigs in the village, and many people just barely make ends meet. How can there be any surplus to feed pigs, which eat a lot of livestock?

So he asked Xu Zhang enthusiastically: "Auntie, can we go and have a look?"

Xu Zhang laughed a few times when he heard it, and waved his hands with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with this, if you don't dislike the taste, go and see it."

"Thank you." Leaving these two words behind, Lin Xuan dragged Xu Yang straight to the backyard excitedly.

Looking at his eager back, Xu Zhang shook his head with a broken smile, and secretly said that he was really just a child, in fact, he was only a little older than Toko Koyama and the others, but they were all ignored during this time.

"Village Chief, here we come."

Lin Xuan dragged Xu Yang to the backyard, and saw the village chief bending over to pour food into the pigsty, and the half-sized white pig with black spots in it was humming and screaming eagerly. As soon as you spoon it in, you quickly put your head on the spoon, or open your mouth to bite.

The village head tapped it on the head with a bamboo stick in the other hand to drive it away a little so that the pig food could be poured smoothly. Hearing Lin Xuan's voice, he looked back with a smile.

"How did you come here? Don't get too close, the smell is very strong."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Xuan came to him with a smile and took a closer look. When he saw the fat pig inside, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Village chief, your pig is not bad, it's so big. gone."

The village chief laughed happily when he heard this, and moved away a little proudly to let them see more clearly, "It's just eating a lot." He simply picked up the remaining half bucket of food and poured it directly into the pig trough, letting them see more clearly. Pigs have a good time.

Lin Xuan looked at the bucket that was half the size of the bucket at home, and nodded. If it was bigger, wouldn't it be enough to eat a big bucket?

Seeing his expression, the village head smiled and said: "The family has a lot of land, so I'm not afraid to raise a pig or two, and it doesn't just eat grain, just cut more pigweed."

"Yeah." Lin Xuan nodded receptively.

The three of them stood in front of the pigsty and watched the pig gobble up half of it, and Lin Xuan finally explained his intention.

"Village chief, is what you said today okay?"

Hearing this, the village chief smiled, rubbed off the pig food on his hands, and nodded: "Have you figured it out?"

"Yes. But can we go and see the land for sale first?"

"Of course, if you decide, we will go and see where you want to buy."

Xu Yang had been quietly listening to their conversation, and suddenly interrupted: "Village chief, will this make the villagers have any objections?"

The village chief took a look at Xu Yang and nodded secretly, "It's okay, these lands have been put away for many years, and no one wants to buy them. If you have the ability to buy them, you can buy them. No one will say anything, and of course there are only a few of them. No, you just don't have to worry about it."

"That's good." Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.He really wanted to buy it, but he didn't want to bring disputes to the village. After all, he still likes the atmosphere of the village now.

The village chief laughed, and stirred the trough with a spoon, "Don't worry, even if you buy them all, they won't say anything. It depends on personal ability. Of course, they don't want to, but they just don't have the money. It’s just for buying. And there are still some that can be leased, and now they are growing these are almost the same.”

He paused, looked at Lin Xuan and tentatively said, "If you buy it, do you want to plant it yourself?"

Although the words were not straightforward, Lin Xuan and the others understood. The two looked at each other, and Xu Yang asked, "Does the village chief have any suggestions?"

The village head also subconsciously wanted to touch his beard. Today, when he saw the Master Registrar at the yamen, he touched it from time to time. It felt pretty good, but he smelled the smell of pig food when he stretched his hand halfway, and he couldn't help but pause and put it down. .

"How can I, an old man, have any suggestions, but I see that there are not many people in your family who can work, so I just ask."

Xu Yang glanced at Lin Xuan, and replied again: "We have also discussed this, but the village chief doesn't have to worry, we will definitely not keep the land we bought."

Hearing this, the village head was relieved, and said with a smile: "That's good, just don't waste it, otherwise the money will be wasted for nothing."

"Well, I know this. We will plant it next year after buying it." If you buy it and don't plant it, wouldn't you have to pay a fine for nothing?He is not the one to be taken advantage of.

If you buy land and don’t plant it within a year, you will have to pay a fine... I don’t know who proposed this cheating rule?Although this can urge some people to open up wasteland without planting it, but for those who really want to farm the land but are unable to do so, this fine will kill the whole family.

"You want to go see it now?"

"If it's convenient."

"It's convenient, there's nothing inconvenient about it." The village head picked up the bucket and walked back, Lin Xuan and Xu Yang hurriedly followed.

"But at this time, let's go to the closer ones first, and we won't be able to see the farther ones when it gets dark."

"Well, listen to you."

"That's good." The village head put the bucket on the steps casually, and said loudly towards the kitchen, "Old lady, I'll go out for a while. If the food is ready, you don't have to wait for me to eat first."

When Xu Zhang came out and saw Lin Xuan and Xu Yang following her man, she knew that she must have something serious to look for, so she didn't ask any more questions, but responded loudly, and told him to come back as soon as he was done.

The village chief waved his hand as he walked to show that he heard it.

***

Although it was getting late, for the villagers who came back late, as long as the sky was not completely dark, they would not call it a day. Therefore, the village chief took Lin Xuan and Xu Yang to see the open spaces, and almost everyone in the village saw it. Yes, the quick-witted ones have guessed more or less, and the dull ones will look at it in doubt, and then come back and say something to the family.

Is the Lin family buying/renting land again?

Regardless of whether he guessed it or not, he murmured a sentence or two in his heart at the same time.

"It seems that the rice planted by the Lin family should have sold for a good price this time."

"[-]% yes. I also noticed that his corn is much better than ours." There was excitement in the words.

"Then they went to town today, did you see where they sold it? How about the price?"

"No, they drive donkey carts, but there are too many people today, and I don't know where they are going."

"Although I don't know how much it sold, but I'm sure it's not bad, otherwise I wouldn't go to see it."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.

After a while, people spoke up again, discussing——

"That's right. I saw it just now, and I was still wondering what it was for, so it turns out—"

"Fortunately, I have also dug the ditches. Next year, my house can also be planted. White rice is still valuable."

"That's right. My family is also accumulating fertilizers and so on. Next year should have a good harvest."

"My house is the same. If it sells for a good price, I will also buy some land."

"My family is also..."

Regarding the possible purchase of land by the Lin family, the villagers all had speculations in their hearts. To be able to buy land, but also to live a better life for the family.

Wangshan Village is full of expectations for the coming year.

The author has something to say: _(:_」∠)_ has been replaced, I will continue to write new chapters, I am tired recently——
