Wang Yueying only said to people that Wang Zicheng was her distant cousin, and her parents died before she came to her. Although Xun'er and the pavilion never knew that there was such a cousin, they still expressed a warm welcome to Wang Zicheng's arrival. This is probably also the nature of children, and there will always be an inexplicable sense of admiration for children who are older than themselves.

Wang Yueying told Song Hai the day after she went home that she wanted Wang Zicheng to hunt with him, Song Hai agreed without saying a word, Wang Zicheng now follows Song Hai every day to learn some theoretical knowledge of hunting, Xun'er and the pavilion also go around every day.

The spring bamboo shoots in Piaoxianglou are extremely popular, Wang Yueying and Cuihua dig bamboo shoots every morning, and hire an ox cart from the old grandson to send them to Piaoxianglou in the afternoon, and there is a lot of income after a period of time. Fortunately, the spring bamboo shoots are digging more and more, otherwise the source of this supply is really unguaranteed.

"Yueying, how long can we sell these spring bamboo shoots?" Cuihua asked as she digged.

"It's almost gone in another month." Wang Yueying looked at the basket full of spring bamboo shoots and said, "Now it's starting to get less, I think it's almost time to talk to Piaoxianglou." ”

"Then I'll let Dashan talk to Shopkeeper Cai in the afternoon." Because the ox cart was bumpy back and forth, Yang Dashan was responsible for delivering the bamboo shoots, Cuihua sighed and said helplessly, "It's time to go to the whole field." ”

"Isn't it a good thing to keep the field clean?" The croppers all treat the fields as if they were sons, why do Cuihua sigh when they talk about the whole field.

"You don't know." Cuihua held the hoe and said, "Our family is from a noble family, and the two of them throw grass purple into our field every time they complete the field." "Most of the fields in Yuanhe Town are terraced fields, and everyone calls the fields above their homes and the fields below as Xiatian.

"Sister Cuihua, is the grass purple you are talking about the kind of plant that blooms purple flowers in the field?" Wang Yueying asked curiously.

"Yes, it grows every spring, this thing is good-looking, but if it grows to bloom like this, the good things in the field are sucked away by it, and that kind of rice can still grow!"

"Sister Cuihua, you have wronged it." This grass purple is milk vetch, not only high-quality organic fertilizer but also a good feed for livestock, in modern times, everyone also planted milk vetch to increase the fertility of the land, Wang Yueying looked at Cuihua with a puzzled face, and explained with a smile, "I have seen it in the book, this thing grows, it can fertilize the field." ”

"Really, it's so beautiful to bloom, I thought it had to suck a lot of fat away." Cuihua said suspiciously, "Look at those rich people who raise flowers, how careful they are, they don't have a lot of fat." ”

"This rice raises hundreds of people, and this flower is the same, the difference is big." Wang Yueying thought that this milk vetch could also be used as fertilizer when it was dried and burned into ashes, so she said, "If they are thrown into your field, you can clean it up and dry it, and then burn it into ashes and scatter it in the field." Let it be in your own field for a long time, and the roots of this thing can send good things to the field. Wang Yueying didn't know how to explain the nutrients of plants to her, so she could only talk nonsense.

"Can this thing be burned to ashes?" Cuihua is still very puzzled, how strange is the book she has to read, and she also teaches people to farm.

"This is not the ancients who said, 'Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers' This thing is burned to ashes, and together with the mud, it becomes spring mud, and it is very good to raise things." In modern times, everyone will try their best to fatten the field, this ancient people only know the seed, do not know the supply, no wonder the yield is so low.

"Look at you, the talented lady is also full of poetry. Okay, I'll try it. Since Cuihua made money with Wang Yueying, she has always believed in Wang Yueying's words.

"Sister Cuihua, are there any people in our village who can build houses? My house was already small, and now that there is another Wang Zicheng, it seems even smaller, and I want to find a time to build the house. ”

"Huzi's father will build a house." Cuihua thought for a moment and said, "Are you going to build a house?" ”

"My house is too small, so I don't want to build a pigsty, so I want to build a house together." Wang Yueying didn't plan to build it very well, just build a few more yellow mud houses that she lives in now, the houses in the village are basically like this, she is a widow, and the house is too good to make people gossip.

"Then I'll ask Dashan to ask you." Cuihua knew that Wang Yueying, a widow, was inconvenienced, "But you still have to ask the village chief to approve a title deed to build a house." ”

"Then it's troublesome Brother Dashan." Wang Yueying's help to Cuihua's family has always been in her heart, "I was planning to go to the village chief's house in the afternoon. I'm embarrassed that I haven't been there for so long. ”

"When are you going?" Cuihua thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"I was about to trouble you to go with me, and I don't know much about these people in the village."

"What's the trouble, your business is my business." Cuihua waved her hand.

On a spring afternoon, the breeze blows gently and the wildflowers dance along the roadside. Wang Yueying was going to the village chief's house for a meeting ceremony, this was her first visit after coming to Hetou Village, and she had something to ask for, so she naturally had something to prepare.

Hetou Village was originally called Chen Village, Chen Village as a whole is a village in the shape of "people", the position of the tip of the word "people" is Niutou Mountain, the mountain spring flows out from Niutou Mountain, and slowly descends along the word "person" and passes through Cen Village downstream. Because Chen Cen was easily confused, the heads of the two villages discussed and changed to Hetou Village and Hexia Village respectively. Most of the villagers in Hetou Village live along the river, only Wang Yueying and a few families live in the position of the word "person", and the back of the house is a mountain from Niutou Mountain, and there is a large piece of wasteland between the front of the house and the river.

Most of the villagers in Hetou Village are members of the Chen clan, and the patriarch and several clan elders rarely care about the affairs of the village because they are older, and most of the affairs in the village are handled by the village chief Chen Zhengde alone. The village chief has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Chen Shouzhong married his wife Cen Shi, the second son Chen Shouhe is not yet married, and is now studying in the town academy, and a daughter Chen Xiaomei, who is twenty-eight years old and waiting for the word boudoir. The village chief's daughter-in-law, Miao's family, and Cuihua's family are from the same village, so they usually take care of Yang Dashan's family.

Wang Yueying took some pastries and muslin cloth, which she bought by the way when she sent bamboo shoots to Yuanhe Town a few days ago. There is only one small grocery store in Hetou Village, which also sells some snacks and spices, and occasionally some dishes such as pork and tofu. Wang Yueying, a widow with two babies, is even more inconvenient to go out to buy things, but fortunately, the space is large and can be kept fresh, so she bought some of all kinds of things and put them in the space.

"Sister Cuihua, do you think I've got enough of these things?" Wang Yueying didn't know much about the situation in the village.

"Don't worry, there's enough of this." Cuihua patted her hand and comforted, "The village chief is a good person, he can help solve any problem that everyone has, don't worry." ”

Going upriver along the riverbank, passing through a few houses in the village, the two of them soon reached the door of the village chief's house.

"Cuihua, why are you here?" Before the two of them could call someone, Miao, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, opened the courtyard door and asked.

"Aunt Xiulian, this is Sister Yueying, I'm here with her today." Cuihua greeted her with a smile.

"Aunt Xiulian is good." Wang Yueying wondered why Miao kept looking at her with a scrutinizing look, but she still bowed and said hello softly. I saw Miao Xiulian dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, with broad shoulders and fat body, not tall, rough and dark skin, slightly bulging belly, but thick limbs, very powerful, at a glance, I knew that she was a good farmer.

"Come in and sit." Miao is obviously not so enthusiastic about Wang Yueying. For the gift given by Wang Yueying, she only glanced at it lightly and let her eldest daughter-in-law accept it.

Miao asked them to sit down and told his daughter-in-law to serve tea, while he turned around and called the village chief. After Wang Yueying sat down, she secretly looked at it, there are probably only a few clans' homes and village chiefs' houses in the village that have such a place to entertain guests, and most of the families are just like Wang Yueying's house, with a table in the middle of the house, and people sit around the table when they come.

"Trustworthy daughter-in-law." A voice interrupted Wang Yueying's thoughts, "There are a lot of things in the village during this time, and my uncle didn't have time to go over to see you." Are you still used to living in the village? ”

Chen Zhengde and Chen Fugui are not brothers. His hair and eyebrows are slightly gray, and he has many wrinkles and age spots, and he should be in his fifties and age. When Wang Yueying heard the village chief say this, she hurriedly got up and saluted: "The village chief has a lot of nobles, it really frustrates me to say this, I have long wanted to bring the children over to get to know each other, but I also have a lot of inconvenience when I live alone." That's why I found Sister Cuihua to accompany me to come over and excuse you," Wang Yueying hid in her stomach when she was in modern times, and used all the words to deal with the leader's greetings, and then sat down with the village chief.

When the village chief heard Wang Yueying say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything about asking for guilt or not, you are not familiar with it when you return to the village with your children alone, just look for your Aunt Xiulian if you have anything." ”

"Then thank the village chief first, and thank Aunt Xiulian." Wang Yueying saluted the two of them again, and then said, "I came here today, and I also have something to ask for trouble, and I want to trouble the village chief." ”

"You can say anything, you don't have to be polite to your uncle." Chen Zhengde, as the head of a village, is still very responsible, and when he heard that Wang Yueying had something to ask for, he hurriedly responded.

"After my father-in-law died, my mother-in-law presided over our division of the family, and this ancestral house was divided between our mother and son, and not long ago a distant nephew of mine also came to join me. There wasn't enough to live in, and I didn't know what to do with my two children, so I wanted to raise some livestock. Wang Yueying saw that the village chief kept nodding, and then said, "This is not to measure the land on both sides of the house and build some houses. After speaking, he took out the previous separation agreement and handed it to the village chief.

The village chief glanced at the separation agreement in his hand, his beard shook angrily, but he didn't say anything, only said, "There is wasteland near your house, and there is nothing wrong with building a house. Afraid that Wang Yueying would be worried about the price, she added another sentence, "This is the land in the clan, and it doesn't take a lot of money, just give it when the time comes." ”

"In terms of money, it will come according to the regulations, and you will have to trouble the village chief to help you go to the county government to get a land deed." It's still safe to take the title deed stamped with the red official seal.

"Of course, since you bought the land, the title deed must be handled for you, and then the division agreement will also be taken, and now the title deed of this house can also be done together."

"Then thank the village chief first." Wang Yueying was also very happy to see that the matter was done so easily, "There is another thing I want to ask the village chief." I want to start a female household. ”

"Establish a female household?" When the village chief heard Wang Yueying's words, he looked at her in disbelief.

Miao and Cuihua also opened their mouths and looked at her in shock.
