Chapter 162: Money-Grabbing Rake and Money Box!
can we pick now In previous years, every household had piles of things. This year, we haven’t picked anything! If you hadn’t come and competed with us, it definitely wouldn’t be like this!”The village...After a good meal, Jia Yin lay in her grandma's arms for an afternoon nap. She heard the rumbling of her two brothers' stomachs and felt reluctant to wake up. 。So, she leaned into her grandmother's ear and coquettishly said, "Grandma, let's have braised goose meat for dinner tonight!" The old woman glanced at the two pitiful grandsons and guessed her granddaughter's thoughts. She couldn't help but sigh even more deeply. 。How did so many mischievous boys end up in our house It would be wonderful to have three or five grandchildren like Funiu, who is so thoughtful and adorable! Funiu probably wants braised goose meat because she's thinking about her two older brothers. 。She gently patted her granddaughter's soft hair and said, "Good night, sleep now." 。" Jia Yin yawned and nestled in her grandma's arms, falling asleep. " 。The tree branches pressed against the back of the shed, having been knocked aside earlier, now let in a gust of wind. 。 Li Laotai was afraid the wind would blow on her granddaughter, so she quickly turned over and shielded her tightly. In the end, she couldn't help but glare at her grandson again. 。Jia An was now smiling happily, completely forgetting her previous grievances. She was already looking forward to the goose meat dinner later on. 。In the afternoon, Old Mrs. Li, in front of Jia Anjiaxi and a multitude of mischievous children, slaughtered the white goose. 。The mischievous boy was frightened, but also relieved, and most of all, his mouth watered. 。The village head ambled over, carrying a cigarette pot and tapping each one, scolding: 。“Just as I knew you'd cause trouble, not even a little help, and you still have to worry about protecting you guys” 。"Look, the big goose is dead. It can't peck your butts anymore. Don't have nightmares tonight!"
Those mischievous kids, they just keep giggling and laughing mischievously. 。 When the roasted goose was finally cooked, each person received two pieces of goose meat. Their dreams were filled with the aroma of delicious goose meat; who could remember how terrifying it was to be chased and pecked by the goose... Over a thousand fruit trees were planted in just one day. 。Men still need to plow the fields and plant good seeds. Lately, there hasn't been any rain, so fetching water is a real chore. 。The women rushed to the path beside the official road leading to the grain market, where Yan Zheng had already marked it with his men. 。From now on, the entire village, including Master Ye and Madam Cui's households, a total of twenty-seven families will have their courtyards built here. 。A construction site, including a courtyard and vegetable garden, is about two mu in size. In total, it covers fifty mu of land. 。Ideally, these fifty-odd acres should be deducted from the four hundred acres allocated by the court, but this piece is a floodplain. Let alone fighting for it, no one would want it even if it were given away for free. 。Therefore, everyone secretly took advantage of the situation, using only the twenty mu allocated by the imperial court. The rest was expanded outwards. 。Thus, the seventy mu of river beach land is left with about fifty mu. 。The village head and Zhao Shu discussed planting peanuts and sweet potatoes, but while peanut seeds were easy to come by, finding potato seedlings was a challenge. 。I'll have to go to the nearby villages and try to figure something out. 。Just as Li La Er came over, he sought out a few elderly people to make a decision. 。"Village Chief Uncle, Zhao Uncle, recently people from outside the village have been peeking around. I think they're probably from nearby villages... " 。We should live together often in the future, it's not good to keep things this tense. 。I think we should ask Mr. Yan to find some laborers from the nearby villages. 。The more you move around, the more familiar it will become. 。"
The village head nodded, “I was going to look for you anyway. " 。Let me borrow your cart, I'm planning to transport some grain to the Big Banyan Tree and Little Wang Village. I can exchange it for coarse grain, of course if I can get peanut seeds and sweet potato seedlings, that would be even better. 。As everyone spoke, they walked back. As they passed the intersection, they saw that all the women were exhausted, sweat dripping down their backs. 。Raking grass, picking up stones, working non-stop, I have already cleaned up all the vegetable gardens. 。The village head then shouted, "Do all your households have enough sesame seeds Should we go to the nearby villages to exchange some" The women burst into laughter and replied in unison, “No need, Uncle! When we came out, we all brought the sesame seeds from our homes.” 。 to crawl beside her, staying perfectly still as a guard.Jiayi was also squatting outside the kennel, unwilling to leave.Everyone else was unable to stay, so Zhao Yuru stayed behind to look after the...
