Old Mrs. Xiao glanced at Xiao Xuan, thinking that talking to the smart child was just worry-free, "That's right, there are still a few people in this village to send, and they are all old people of the Zhao clan." ”

Mrs. Xiao spoke slowly, Xiao Xuan remembered little by little, and when Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Xuan thought about it and asked:

"Grandma Xiao, you see that the patriarch, the elders of the three clans, the head of the Gu family, the village chief and the secretary are in addition to the four pieces of soap in each family, each family is wrapping a pound of milk candy, and when I came, I bought a lot of sugar;

In addition, the village chief and the secretary have many children, and they burned rabbit meat at noon, leaving us to eat, and I will also bring a bowl of each, do you think it is good?"

You must know that the rarest thing in the northern countryside in this era is those daily necessities in the big cities, if it weren't for Wang Zhen reminding herself to buy more small things to give away when she was leaving, Xiao Xuan really couldn't have imagined. Moreover, the soap thing can be taken out in a few minutes in Xiao Xuan's space.

Listening to Xiao Xuan's question, Mrs. Xiao sighed for a while, what kind of family is it, raising such a clear female doll, how good it would be if she were her granddaughter, hey! sighed secretly, and said, "Well, you have thought it through, very good." ”

After chatting with the old lady for a while, the sun was shining on my body, and I was slightly sweaty. The old lady went into the house to squint for a while, and Xiao Xuan went into the house to prepare gifts for the village chief and the clan elders for a while.

A little after ten o'clock, the old lady led Xiao Xuan to the third nephew's house (secretary's house) first, Zhao Zhengguo heard Xiao Xuan's intention, a little surprised, and a little expected, politely accepted the gift.

Then let Mrs. Xiao rest in the house for a while, and after taking Xiao Xuan to the ancient village chief's house next door, she went to the ancient family patriarch, the Zhao family patriarch and the three clans' homes in turn.

However, because of this round of visits, it brought a lot of convenience to Xiao Xuan in his later life, and because of this round of visits, Xiao Xuan experienced the enthusiasm and boldness of the villagers.

declined the warm invitation of the secretary's family and went home with Mrs. Xiao.

At noon, Xiao Xuan burned corn ballast, braised rabbit meat, cabbage and carrots, and half of the fish was stewed with tofu, and when the tofu came back from the secretary's house, Mrs. Xiao asked the secretary for it, and the other half of the fish Xiao Xuan was afraid that it would be broken, so he castrated it directly with salt and hung it under the eaves of the backyard to dry.

Xiao Xuan looked at the old lady's age, and was afraid that she would have bad teeth, so the cooked meals were all soft and gentle, and he liked to eat soft and glutinous meals anyway. After eating, the old lady went to the room to rest, Xiao Xuan did not enter the space, but went to the utility room next door.

In the utility room, I found the stone piers and stone grinding plates piled up in the corners, easily carried them to the yard, fetched water and cleaned them, and swept the whole house with mental power, and finally carried the grinding plates and stone piers together to the back of the utility room in the backyard under the eaves. Hey, it's good now, soy milk and tofu will be available in the future.

There was nothing to do, in broad daylight, Xiao Xuan didn't want to enter the space, so he began to ponder what the secretary said just now. When the secretary led him to the clan's hometown, Xiao Xuan asked the secretary, there is a lot of wasteland near the yard, can it be opened up for farming?

The secretary said: Although the old lady's house is still five or six hundred meters away from the boundary monument, it is impossible to build a house there according to the regulations. As for whether the wasteland can be cultivated, the secretary did not say it explicitly, but only said that if the wasteland is to be cleared, half of the harvest must be handed over to the village.

In this way, Xiao Xuan also understood that first, most of the wasteland in the village is likely to be turned into homesteads, and even if the wasteland is cleared for farming, it may be recovered; second, half of it will be handed over to the village, and the rest is not much, so it is better not to open up the wasteland.

But these do not prevent Xiao Xuan from clearing the wasteland, because the land next to the old lady's yard is impossible to rebuild a house, and half of it will be paid half, with the space seeds and spiritual springs, can't there be a harvest?

Thinking about it, Xiao Xuan took the tools from the utility room and went directly to the open space next to the yard and began to turn over the ground. But in an hour, I actually turned out nearly an acre of land, looking at the small pebbles that were turned out to expose the ground, the breathing method combined with spiritual power, picked out the stones one by one from the ground and piled them aside.

Another thing that Xiao Xuan was surprised by was that the combination of labor and cultivation actually made his cultivation improve by a small level.

It seems that if cultivation and spiritual power are cultivated together, the effect is much faster than that of a single cultivation. Soon the acre of land was cleaned up, and Xiao Xuan took the hoe and turned the ground over again before carrying the hoe home.

Back in the yard, the old lady had already gotten up and was boiling water in the kitchen.

"Grandma Xiao, you got up, why don't you sleep more. Xiao Xuan put down his hoe and went to the well to fetch water to wash his face.

"Girl Xiao, are you sure you're going to open up this piece of land?" Grandma Xiao asked.

"Well, yes, anyway, I have all the strength, the secretary said that half of it will be handed over to the village, and half will be kept for myself, I think there are only two of us, it should be enough to eat." Xiao Xuan took the cup handed over by Mrs. Xiao, took a sip and said, "Grandma Xiao, I'm going to plant half an acre of soybeans, and half an acre of sweet potatoes to plant some red beans, do you say it's okay?"

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Xuan's pink little face and asked herself softly, and for a moment she thought again: If this is her granddaughter, she will have no regrets.

"Okay, you can do it, and I'll help weed it then. Xiao Xuan, who looked at the smiling Xiao Xuan, said: "I boiled water, you go and wash it, and the girls try not to wash it with cold water." ”

"Good. I'll go wash first. , by the way, Grandma Xiao, I washed out the stone mill, and then we can grind soy milk, and we can eat frozen tofu when it's cold. Xiao Xuan said to Mrs. Xiao while washing.

"Okay, Xiao girl, you can arrange the affairs at home. When I went to the town to buy something, you told me that I could get money and tickets. "Mrs. Xiao doesn't want to use all the little girls.

"Okay, I'm not going out for this time, I want to wait until next month, when Professor Ji and they go to town, I'll go out again. ”
