Li Cuiyun finally decided to marry, and the family affair was in March of the following year, Chunquan heard about it, and felt a lot more relaxed, so he went to his uncle's house to pick up Hui'er and Feng'an, and by the way, he also sent a lot of prey to his aunt.

I heard that he was back, and Qiuhua also came to him, but he was still a little worried about Qiuhua's calculation of him, and the two brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and Qiuhua said goodbye and went home, she felt aggrieved, why didn't my brother understand himself?

Looking at his sister's distant back, Chunquan sighed helplessly, he found that he couldn't understand his sister's thoughts more and more, will women become extreme and unreasonable after they get married?

But Shumin, she doesn't know these things yet, and Chunquan doesn't plan to let her know. Seeing that the day when Shumin finished his errand was getting closer and closer, he had to hurry up and get the house ready. He had promised her that he would give her a complete new home when she returned, and he didn't want to lose his word.

As for the rest, although Qiuhua has done it extremely, it is not unreasonable, it is better to avoid it, and when Shumin moves into a new home, the dust has settled, and he will slowly distance himself.

He thought to himself, but there was a faint pain in his chest.

Since the house was the last thing I did for her, I couldn't be sloppy, now that the dresser was ready, I'll help her build a pull-out bed.

Thinking like this, Chunquan gathered some good wood again and began to build a stepping bed at home.

Shumin and his entourage plus Wangcai have almost turned around several townships in the west, the farther west, the more barren the land becomes, and the more difficult the road becomes.

"Hui'er Niang, are you okay?" Seeing that Hui Er Niang's face was a little pale, Da Li asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just a lot of bumps. Why don't I go down and take a walk, anyway, the speed of the car is not much different from walking. Shumin rubbed his waist and stood up.

"I'll go down for a walk, too. Xiao Li hurriedly followed, she would rather walk down than bump up and down like this, and what she ate in the morning felt like she was going to run up her throat.

"Then I'll be with me. "Da Li is stronger than Shumin, and she feels better with a thick mattress, but seeing that Shumin and Xiao Li have gotten out of the car, she doesn't want to stay in the car anymore, so she also got out of the car.

As for Shude and Cheng Sheng, they have long been walking below.

So the group followed the carriage and walked all the way to the next township, called Washan Township. This is already the last township in the west, and it is also the poorest township in the west.

"Tsk, how do you grow crops in this land? Da Li looked at the earthy yellow and slightly dark red earth that came into view, and said.

This kind of land has no fertility at first glance, and even weeds are not liked.

"Yes, although it is winter, the mountains in our Baili Village are all green, but the fields here are all scorched and scorched, and you can tell that nothing can grow at a glance. Xiao Li also sighed that it was good to be at home for a thousand days, and they were all homesick after being away from home for so many days.

"This Washan Township was originally a rich township, and the soil here was suitable for burning tiles, so everyone swarmed to build kilns, digging soil and burning tiles, burning bricks, and burning silk, and the trees on the mountain were cut down and burned as fire. Year after year, Washan Township has become like this. **** explained. He has been fishing for a long time, and he knows a little about the situation in all the townships of Linjiang Town.

"So that's the case?" Xiao Li suddenly realized, although the west is poor, so good that the vegetation between the mountains and rivers is still lush along the way, but the loess here is directly exposed in front of him.

"When you are fishing in the water, you still have to look at the long-term in everything, not just look at the immediate interests. Shumin concluded. Everyone nodded.

"This is the last township, and we're going home soon. After speaking, Shumin and the others immediately cheered up.

Washan Township is poor because of people's greed, Shumin and they can't take care of it, they just come to teach everyone how to make tofu, they have been wandering for more than a month, and when they go home, it is almost the New Year.

"Is it the Qin clan who makes tofu in front?" An old man led dozens of people to stand at the intersection and watch, and when he saw Shumin and them, he immediately shouted at them.

"Yes, we were sent by the government to teach everyone how to make tofu. Cheng Sheng made his hand into a trumpet shape and shouted back.

"Great!" the villagers became excited, and many children ran over from afar. Shumin and the others have experienced a lot of such a scene in the past month, and they have long been numb. But I'm still happy.

The children were dressed in tatters and had yellow skins, and one of them asked boldly. "Did you bring us food?"

He has been listening to the adults for the past few days that when the Qin family who can make tofu comes, everyone will finally be able to celebrate the New Year.

"Yes, there will be something to eat tomorrow. When Shumin saw him, he remembered Hui'er when he first came here, who was also yellow and thin, and his heart began to flood with sympathy.

As soon as they heard that something was about to be eaten, the children screamed happily and clapped their hands to lead the way.

Most of the people standing in the village were old people and women, and at a glance, there was not even a stronger man.

"In a place like Washan Township, men all go out to look for work, and those who mix well take their wives and children out, so the population is also small. Seeing Shumin's doubts, Cheng Sheng explained.

"Qin, Uncle Guan, we're worried that you won't come. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, they are so worried that the government is just sending someone to talk as usual, and there will be no follow-up.

Washan Township is poor, and there are official documents coming down every year to help them, but after so many years, Lao Li is looking forward to his hair turning white, and he has not really looked forward to coming once.

Therefore, when he saw Shumin and the others, he was very excited.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will teach you how to make tofu. Don't teach us not to leave!" Shu Min looked excited when he saw that he was old, afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly assured him.

"Okay, I'll take you to rest first. Hearing Shumin's assurance, Lao Li was even more excited.

There are only three villages left in Washan Township, and this village is one of them, called Washan Village. I can't help but feel some disdain for the poverty of the people here.

"This is your house, Qin family, official, are you satisfied with it?"

Only then did Shumin notice that the houses in this village were really good, almost every house was a brick house with a large yard. The tiles in the courtyard were also piled up. Especially the one for Shumin and them to move in, it is simply the tallest of all the houses, even the courtyard wall is made of fine green bricks, and even the courtyard is covered with floor tiles.

Shumin, a modern person who is used to seeing high-end buildings, was amazed, and the size of the Li family was even more exaggerated, and she couldn't close her mouth after a long time.

"Wow, I'm not mistaken, right? This looks like a farmhouse? The houses in the city can't compare to this!" Da Li praised him.

"No, it's the best house we've lived in. Xiao Li also sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the township that looks so poor outside, everyone lives so well!"

Lao Li heard everyone's exclamation, and kept smiling, fortunately, it's okay, and his heart is already happy.

Although it is difficult to grow anything decent on this land, our Washan Township was originally a rich township that envied others.

Most of all, he has always been proud of this matter.

Shu Min looked at his appearance, sighed slightly in his heart, saw that he was old, and he couldn't bear to hit him, so he went with him.

"You rest first, supper is ready, come and call you!" Lao Li was leaving two women to help them get some water from the well. The creek has long since dried up, but fortunately there is still water from the well.

After Li Zheng left, Shumin and the others also finished freshening up, and at this time, small heads poked out of the door.

It was the children who had just greeted them.

They often heard the adults talk about this woman who could make tofu, and they were curious, and they all came to see them.

"What are you all doing at the door, come in. Shumin likes children, and when she saw them peeking in curiously but didn't have the courage to come in, she took the initiative to greet them.

The children saw that Shumin was so kind, so they also fought and walked in one by one.

"Auntie, this is for you. A little boy timidly took out a handful of peanuts and handed them to Shumin.

"Keep it for yourself. The little boy's hands were very small, and that handful was actually only four or five peanuts, Shumin touched his head and said, "What's your name?"

"Adou"

The little boy saw that Shumin didn't want it, so he put the peanuts back in his pocket. Don't forget to answer her.

"Adou, is that right? Come, Auntie invites you to eat jerky. ”

Those jerky were all given by the villagers when they were in Maple Village. Out of Maple Village, everyone has been warmly entertained by the villagers, and no one has touched the jerky, at most it is cheap and prosperous.

Shumin pulled out a piece of jerky and tore it into small strips.

When the children heard that there was dried meat to eat, their eyes lit up, but they were too embarrassed to ask for it. Here, meat is edible and expensive and many children have not smelled meat for a year.

However, since Shumin took out the jerky, he didn't plan to give it to just one child. Although everyone didn't get much, everyone had a share.

When Wangcai saw that there was dried meat to eat, he also came out to join in the fun, and also got a small strip.

The jerky was secretly concocted by the villagers of Maple Village, and the taste was unique, and the children took the meat strips and put them in their mouths slowly, reluctant to eat them all at once. A few even put the meat strips in their pockets and planned to take them home and try them with their parents.

They now believe that the aunt has indeed come to bring them food. Otherwise, how could she have given them strips of meat all at once!
