"I don't know if my father has received the letter and New Year's goods sent before. Chen Lin missed her son, she was busy before, but she also thought of her son at night, and she didn't know if her son was crying or not, what he was doing now, so when the bandits were solved, she asked people to send a letter to Yandu.

After several exchanges, she cried a few times when she knew that her son couldn't find his parents at first, and she was distressed, thinking that she should quickly gain a foothold here and then go and pick up her son.

After accidentally learning that the roads would be closed by heavy snow in November, she prepared a Boxing Festival in advance and sent it out when there was no snow before November.

After that, there was no news, Chen Lin was still very worried, "It should have arrived, it's been half a month." Su Chen didn't think about his son and father, thinking that he should be able to take the two over next year.

As a result, in December, Su's father actually asked someone to send some New Year's goods over, which is still in the ice, but people here are used to it, so there is a kind of sled in winter, yes, it is the kind of sled pulled by dogs.

Chen Lin was very surprised when she saw it, she was afraid of pain in her previous life, so she didn't learn to skate, although she wanted to go out in the winter, but she didn't actually put it into action, but she could sit on a sled if she didn't skate by herself, it was also very interesting.

After reading the letter written by Su's father, I knew that both my grandfather and grandson were good, Su Ling also wrote a letter in clumsy words, although Dou Da's words used half a page, just 7 words, Daddy, I miss you, but it also moved the two couples and missed their sons more and more.

"Next year, I'll find a chance to pick up my father and Xiaoling. Chen Lin said.

"Good. Su Chen nodded.

After that, it is the cat winter, after all, it is too cold here, during this time they often eat hot pot, with chili peppers, eating hot pot in winter is undoubtedly a very good way to ward off the cold.

It wasn't until February that the ice on the ground, almost a meter thick, began to melt, and by the time it completely melted, it was already March, and at the moment it was definitely not suitable for planting in winter, so we had to hope for the period from March to October.

As soon as the ice melted, Chen Lin arranged for someone to turn over the 1,000 acres of wasteland that was opened last year, and at the same time, she was already preparing to breed, and she was not sure what was the best to plant here, so she was ready to plant some corn, rice and wheat.

Of course, in addition to the coolies who were brought back from the bandit village before, there were also some prisoners in the cells, as well as those exiled, Chen Lin also recruited them to help with the work, and the exiled people had wages, and the coolies and the prisoners in the prison only had three meals.

In addition to food, Chen Lin also considered some other things, such as interplanting and raising fish in paddy fields, she knew a general idea but didn't know how to do it, she asked Zhu Lao to select some fields as experimental field experiments.

Su Chen is also very active in cooperating with his wife, he knows that his wife is not interested in the production of those fields, after all, her business is more profitable than this, whether it is clothing or food, if his wife's fields are highly productive, then other civilians can also follow her to plant, and then it will be his political achievement.

But he is not idle at this time, last year he secretly cleaned up the bandit village because Liu Xiancheng didn't understand him, and the other party was caught off guard, and Liu Xiancheng began to look for things at the beginning of this year.

The excuse used is that Chen Lin opened up the wasteland, and also used prisoners to work, occupy public property, etc., fortunately, Chen Lin paid the money for the wasteland, yes, those prisoners Chen Lin gave money, but the money was given to the government.

After all, in modern times, people in prison need to work on a voluntary basis, and all the income is given to the prison as a management fee, she thinks that they manage those exiled criminals, and naturally need this, so as to solve the food problem of those people, and also generate income, kill more birds with one stone, eat free cells? That is a dream.

Liu Xiancheng heard Su Chen's pen by pen report on the income created by those prisoners to the yamen, and immediately couldn't go on, Su Chen closed the account book, "This official has written this matter into an excerpt and reported it, and I hope that the imperial court can let other places follow suit." ”

Su Chen thinks this is good, that's right, why should he eat a prison cell for free if he commits a crime? He should work and build roads and dig rivers, so that he can save some of the forced labor and win the hearts of the people.

Liu Xiancheng naturally thought of this, this is undoubtedly a merit, why didn't he think of this?

Anyway, Liu Xiancheng's criticism was simply defused by Su Chen, and after that, some troublemakers in Hengshui County didn't dare to make any more trouble, because the current county order is basically to put people in prison if they make a mistake, and then go to work with leg cuffs.

In May, Chen Lin and Su Chen went to the fields to check and found that the grain was really growing very well, and the two didn't understand, but Zhu Lao was very excited to explain it to them.

The soil here is really fertile, which is very suitable for growing grain, and as long as it is well cared for and the wind and rain are good, the harvest here can be comparable to that of the south.

Su Chen was very happy to hear this, the south is the main producer of grain, if Hengshui County and the entire Selangor Prefecture can become the second south, even if it can only produce one season of grain, it is a great achievement.

Therefore, Su Chen was very attentive to these places, but Chen Lin was ready to pick up his son, he had already left Hengshui County, there was no bandit village on that section of the road, it only took two days to get to the wharf, take a boat to Yandu, 5 days later, they arrived in Yandu, because Chen Guo's water transportation is developed, and the speed is quite fast.

got off the boat and was about to get on the sedan chair, a person suddenly rushed over, Chen Lin was hit, fortunately Hongmei had been staring at it and helped her block it, the person was pushed to the ground, Chen Lin frowned and straightened up, swept over, and saw who was so bold to see the official sedan chair and dared to hit it with a big name.

When I looked down, I saw a beautiful woman who was a little flustered and haggard sitting on the ground, and just looked up at her, and when they looked at each other, Chen Lin felt that the other party was a little familiar.

"Please help me, Madame. Immediately the woman fell to her knees and cried for help.

Before Chen Lin could speak, another tall man ran over, "Okay, slut, you actually dare to run, I secretly let you go, you repay me like this, do you think you can escape by sneaking on the boat?"

"Bold, don't you see that there is an official sedan chair here? What should I do if I am rampage here and bump into our wife?" Hongmei saw Chen Lin's displeasure and immediately reprimanded her.

Only then did Dahan notice Chen Lin, and when he saw the hair ornament on her head, he immediately knelt on the ground, "I've seen this lady, the grass people are arresting the fugitive slaves at home, I don't know that she bumped into you, please forgive me." ”
