In summer, the peasant family also has a month of leisure time. As soon as the sun sets, the adults of the family will take the children to enjoy the shade under the big tree at the mouth of the dam or by the river.The position of the big river in front of Wanjiaba is tens of meters lower than that of the dam. Even if the river rises in summer, it will not reach the main road at the mouth of the dam.There is a gentle slope from the river bank to the big tree at the mouth of the dam. There are many smooth stones near the river bank. The stones vary in size and height.In summer, many children would lie down on the rocks to bask in the sun after taking a bath in the river. The wet clothes were also wrung out and spread on the rocks. It only took a while for the clothes to dry.

When Wan Xiaodong came to play with Yang Sheng by the river, Yang Sheng went out without thinking. If he wants to live here in the future, it would be good to know more people in the village.When Yang Sheng was about to go out, he happened to meet Yang Jun, and he also wanted to go, so the three of them went out together.

The Wan family was the farthest family from the entrance of the village. When they went all the way to the village, they ran into a few villagers who took their children out to chat.Along the way, Yang Sheng felt that Wanjiaba was indeed a good place. The flat road in the village was comfortable and convenient to live in, but there were also several mountains behind that could support people.There is a small ditch around every house in the village. Several fruit trees are planted in the yard or around the houses. Now is the time when the pears grow. Golden yellow, and now, although they are big enough, they are still immature cyan.

When the few people walked to the entrance of the village, there were no homes. From the entrance of the village to the village, there was a large paddy field. It was the time when the rice was popping up, and everyone in the village looked at the millet that was slowly ripening and plump. It's a satisfied smile.The weather this year is fine, and it happens to be semi-clear when the rice is blooming. This kind of weather is the most suitable. This year must be a good harvest year.

"Brother Yang Sheng, more than half of this large field belongs to the Wan family, and on the opposite side, do you see that the almost endless paddy field on the opposite side also belongs to the Wan family. Your family is the largest landowner in these ten miles and eight townships. At least nine out of ten families in the village are renting your land, so you don’t have to be careful when you talk to them, just act like a master.” Although Wan Xiaodong doesn’t like Wanjiahe, he doesn’t like it even more The village has been picking up Wanjiahe's women all day long, and every time I see Wanjiahe, it's like a fly seeing shit, buzzing past for a long time.

"You are a child, who taught you to say these words? Folks in the village, what is the master's style, can you show me?" When several people were in the village just now, they didn't know who they were. He actually splashed a basin of dirty water directly inside the door, but fortunately Yang Sheng dodged in time, otherwise he would have gotten wet all over again.At that time Wan Xiaodong yelled inside, but not only did no one come out to apologize, they even closed the door with a bang.Yang Sheng thought, Wan Xiaodong probably thought that what happened just now was why he said this to him.

"Xiaodong is right, Yang Sheng, let me tell you, the one who splashed water on you just now is definitely Huang Xinghua, that girl is only thinking about marrying the third child, but the third child is just teasing him, and he has never moved to marry her back This girl really thinks that she can marry into the Wan family."

Regarding Yang Jun's words, Yang Sheng just smiled and didn't answer. He didn't want to offend the only person in the Wan family who treated him well, but he really couldn't agree with Yang Jun's words. If a man doesn't want to marry a girl, he shouldn't go there. What's more, Wan Jiahe is engaged to his cousin, and he is still messing with girls from the same village. Thinking of this, Yang Sheng's affection for Wan Jiahe just now disappeared without a trace. up.

After they arrived at the entrance of the village, Wan Xiaodong took Yang Sheng's hand and ran towards the river. There were many round and smooth stones on the bank of the river, of different sizes, some of which were very beautiful in color and shape. Wan Xiaodong threw the woods away because of anger yesterday A stone he likes very much, so today he wanted to find a more beautiful one for Lin Zi.

"Brother Yang Sheng, you and the Shaodong family can enjoy the shade here. I'll go find a stone." After Wan Xiaodong concentrated on finding his own stone, Yang Sheng also found a small round stone and sat on it.

After sitting down, leaning against Dashi Yangsheng behind him, he thought that getting married is still beneficial, at least before getting married, he didn't spend a day so leisurely.At that time in the Yang family, even if he had to weed the field in the daytime in summer, he would also dig grass to fill the pigsty in the afternoon.

The banks of the big river are very wide, besides Yang Sheng and the others, there are many children and adults from the village enjoying the shade by the river.Some older children jumped into the river to take a bath with their clothes on, while the younger ones took off their clothes and crawled around on all fours in the shallows.Yang Sheng looked at Yang Jun looking at the child not far away with a longing look on his face, and guessed that Yang Jun should really want a child, but it is well known that the younger brother is not good at giving birth, and some younger brothers never have children in their entire lives. to have a child.

"Brother Yang Sheng, look quickly, this stone is really beautiful, with colorful patterns on it, and the size is just as big as the palm of my hand. I will give it to Brother Lin Zi, and Brother Lin Zi will definitely like it." Wan Xiaodong held it A stone shook his hand at Yang Sheng, ran to Yang Sheng and squatted down beside him with excitement, and showed Yang Sheng the stone in his hand.

"It's pretty, but what are you using it for? It's useless." A stone is not silver, so what's the use of being pretty?

"Anyway, it's good enough."

Watching Wan Xiaodong carefully put the stone in his pocket like a treasure, Yang Sheng just smiled, then grabbed Wan Xiaodong's fleshy face, and let him sit next to him.Yang Sheng turned around and looked at Yang Jun, who was still a little gloomy, and decided to say something else to divert his attention.

"Brother, do you know whose family owns the wasteland behind the village? Why didn't they grow anything?" Yang Sheng had been paying attention to that wasteland, but now that he mentions it, he really wants to know.

"That piece of broken land doesn't belong to anyone else. It seems to be the wasteland in the village. Anyone can plant it if they want, but no one in the village is willing to plant it. Just that piece of broken land is not as good as the wasteland opened by ourselves in the mountains? It’s a waste of seeds to plant them. I heard from Brother Yong that there used to be a family with a small amount of land to plant a piece of land, but nothing could grow on it, not even sweet potatoes, which are the easiest to feed. Now no one in the village is willing. Go open that piece of land." When Yang Jun just married here, he also wondered why no one opened up such a good piece of wasteland. Later, his family explained to him that he knew the reason. Now Yang Sheng asked him, he was thinking of Yang Sheng's The idea must be the same as before.

"Don't pay attention to that piece of land. It's really not a good place. It looks like loess on the surface, but the bottom is full of sand. I guess the loess on the surface was brought over by the villagers. .”

"That's it." Regarding Yang Jun's answer, Yang Sheng was obviously disappointed. Thinking about it, if it was a good thing, no one would fight for it, and let him, a foreigner, take advantage of it.However, although Yang Sheng felt a little disappointed, he didn't give up all of it. He remembered that his family also had an abandoned wasteland, which was full of sand, but that sandy land was not unsuitable for planting.

"Brother, if you want to buy that piece of wasteland, how much money will it cost?" The wasteland is not worth much, but Yang Sheng did a rough calculation, and the piece of land is at least a hundred acres, so he doesn't know how much money it will cost to buy it. There are only a few dozen taels of silver in his wallet, otherwise he will save the silver first this year?

"Yang Sheng, are you kidding me? Why did you buy the broken land? Besides, you don't need to buy it. The unowned wasteland in this village can be reclaimed freely, and there is no need to pay rent tax. As long as the fertile land and dry land registered by the government are needed Pay rent."

Listening to Yang Jun's words, Yang Sheng began to think in his heart that he had to find time tomorrow to dig some sand in that sandy field and go home to see if the sandy soil was the same as the soil in his own sandy field. If so, he can buy the land with confidence.

Because something was on his mind, Yang Sheng didn't look at the two people beside him. Their expressions were not good at this moment. When he finally noticed that there was something wrong with the surrounding voices, Yang Jun beside him got up and ran over there.
