Chapter 55: Grace? (2nd Update)
Those who only rely on the fields to live are in a hurry, especially like Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou, who have sons but take care of their own things, the lives of the two old people are dependent on the harvest in the field, Mrs. Zhou is sixty-eight this year, and the old man Zhou is seventy, he is old, and his physical strength is not good, and the fields are naturally planted less, and it is even more desirable to have such a cheap and good thing.
Old lady Zhou hurriedly stood up!
Hearing Tang Daming's words, Mrs. Zhou didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Daming, there are still such rules, then you hurry up and draw up that list, it's hard to have such a good thing, but you must not be able to take our village!" ”
The others nodded yes.
Old Lady Zhou is a generation taller than Tang Daming, although he is now the village head, he still respects the elders very much, and hurriedly motioned to Old Lady Zhou to sit down: "Auntie, don't worry, sit down first, since I can say so, it means that there is enough time." ”
Only then did the old lady Zhou sit down with confidence. This kind of pie in the sky has never happened, even if she has to buy vegetables from her own pocket, she admits it, because after all, after the vegetables are grown, someone will come to buy them, and the buyer doesn't have to worry about it at all. Besides, Mrs. Zhou's ancestors are all authentic croppers, and she has also planted crops and vegetables for a lifetime, so she is not afraid that she will destroy the chrysanthemum.
And the rest of the people secretly complained that Tang Daming was scaring people.
As the head of a village, how could he not consider the interests of the village, Tang Daming asked Wei Qifeng to take out the prepared paper and pen, find a stool, spread it out, and then explained to everyone: "...... How much you want to plant, each family will discuss it by themselves, and if you want me to say, forget about the two or three centimeters of land. It's just such a small piece, and such a good opportunity is wasted. You have to plant a piece of land...... As for the vegetable seeds. I only got a small bag today, which I brought back to show everyone. After today's stool is finished, I will go to the town early tomorrow morning to hand in the list, and then I will only wait for the vegetables to be sent down...... As for the money......"
Finally, when it came to the key issue, everyone held their breath.
“…… You need to pay for your own vegetable seeds......"
There was a sigh below, although I didn't expect this vegetable to be cheap, but I was a little disappointed to hear that I had to pay for it, and I thought about it, even if I planted my own vegetables and sold them, and this is not worrying about the buyer.
The crowd cheered up again and listened.
Tang Daming was still smiling: "...... But. You only need to buy this vegetable once, and you can keep it for yourself later. ”
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
“…… As I said, although we are going to transport the vegetables to the Yangtze River for disaster relief, we can't lose the villagers in our hometown, and the price of vegetable seeds will be lower than that on the market, because everyone is planting chrysanthemum for the first time, and it is inevitable that some will not grow, or the vegetables will not grow well. Therefore, the vegetable seeds of this land will only be given more, not less. ”
These words made everyone's hearts feel a little more secure, since the vegetable seeds of a cent of land were overpurchased, and then they would free up half a piece of land to plant chrysanthemum. In this way, even if you destroy some of them, you won't lose money.
The next step is to register one by one.
Tang Daming sat on the stone pier. There was paper writing on the stool, and Wei Qifeng was next to him to help ask. Ask a family to remember a family.
There is not much dry land in the first place, except for the area where vegetables have been planted. There is not a lot of land left, and most of the households are registered as one or two pieces of land, and some plan to grow all of them into chrysanthemum. For example, Zhang Changming's family.
Zhang Changming's family originally planted all the vegetables in the dry land, because Xianglan helped cook in the silver building in the town, and occasionally sold some of their own vegetables, but since last year, the silver building has bought vegetables in other places, and their vegetables can't be sold in the silver building, only Zhang Changming picked it up to the market to sell, and it is very troublesome to sell it at odds, and it is not easy to sell.
Therefore, Zhang Changming and Xianglan discussed and decided that in addition to the vegetables grown in the dry land, they would keep their own food, and all the vacant land would be planted into chrysanthemum.
Fox Dayou also landed a point, although the two couples want to grow more, but the vegetables in the vegetable field are not yet cooked, is it not a waste to pull out the chrysanthemum vegetables planted, but a pity?
The registered ones left first, and on the way back, the fox fence was not less affected by the fox fence incense, and with the reprimand of the eldest sister, Wei Sanniang was too lazy to speak again, saying that the trouble had just returned home, and someone chased after him.
Fox Dayou and the others looked at Thirteen in surprise in old clothes that did not match their size.
"What? Do you want to help our family as a free laborer? The fox fence was the first to cry.
"It's as if I repay my uncle's kindness." Thirteen looked at Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang seriously.
It would be nice if there was a strong man to help, but although Thirteen was originally a beggar, they still didn't know his details after all, and he was not from the Weijia Town.
Fox Dayou smiled and shook his head: "I said it last time, I helped you easily, it's nothing, you don't have to keep it in mind." ”
"No, I can't. People must understand that since you saved me, uncle, if I pretend not to know, wouldn't it be ungrateful? That's not my principle of being a human being. Thirteen said very seriously, a picture of not giving up without repaying the favor.
Fox Dayou frowned slightly, Thirteen's illness has almost gotten better, he has been walking around the village for the past two days, not helping in this house, just helping in that house, all the people who helped him in the mountains that day. Judging by his posture, if he doesn't repay the favor, he must not leave.
But how can the work of the vegetable field be done in one or two days, one is that they are not the ones who want to blackmail people with a little kindness, and the other is that friendship is weaker than water, not to mention unidentified people like Thirteen.
After thinking about it, Fox Dayou said: "Otherwise, I will dig yellow mud in a while, you can come with me, it can be regarded as a return of favor." ”
"Bah, wouldn't that be cheaper!" As soon as the fox friend spoke, the fox fence said: "Digging a lot of yellow mud is worth a life, so cost-effective?" ”
Even if you think so, you can't say it so clearly!
Wei Sanniang glared at him.
The fox fence hedged its neck and shut its mouth.
The thirteen next to him also came to his senses and immediately said: "This little brother is right, as the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the grace of saving lives." I don't want to repay my uncle's kindness in the same way, and of course I hope that my uncle's family is safe. So. I thought I would do my best to do something, of course. The deadline is up to you, uncle. ”
Look how beautiful this is, how can a beggar say it?
You can figure this out with just a spin of your mind!
"Hey, you're right, but wouldn't my family have to continue to bring you food every day?" The fox fence shouted.
Thirteen frowned, as if he had only understood such a reason, and there was a slight self-reproach on his face: "It's because I didn't think about it, and after being reminded by the little brother, it turns out that I still owe my uncle a favor." Thank you Uncle for bringing me food these two days. It's better to do this, I'll dig yellow mud for my uncle later, even if I repay my uncle's favor......" he said, he shook his head again, as if it didn't feel appropriate: "However, it seems that I have agreed to my uncle's request just now, so this is not a return of favor...... In that case, uncle, do you have any other work, take it to me. I'll repay you for the two days, and as for the life-saving grace, I'll hoe the ground for you, uncle, although I haven't done much. But you just need to teach me a little bit and you're ...... Of course, if you have any other work that you need me to do on weekdays, you can also remember me to help once. When the time comes, I will return the ...... for a meal."
Several people were dumbfounded.
Fox Xiaomei didn't know that there was such a thing in the world!
Their family brought him a meal, and he paid it back by digging up yellow mud; Her dad saved his life. He returned it with a hoe; He did a little work for their family, and they paid them a meal. In case of. He accidentally planted a vegetable for their house, or watered it, or cut a pigweed, or fed a chicken, or did something else, so how many meals did their family owe him a day, and so on, day after day, then wouldn't he want to live in her house?
Is this here to repay favors or to blackmail favors?
The two husbands were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
The fox fence was the first to jump: "Are you insane? If you keep doing this and that for our family, then won't we have to pay for a lifetime? ”
Indeed, the terms of this exchange are too unreasonable!
"Since you owe our family kindness first, you have to listen to the benefactor's arrangement." Hu Xiaomei interrupted the stunned parents, and also made Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang breathe a sigh of relief, yes, they are benefactors, why can't benefactors make their own decisions when they do good things?
Their family never asked him to do anything at all, it was always Thirteen who said that he wanted to repay the favor, but now, as benefactors, they have become the object of being asked to return the favor.
What is this called?
Fox Fence Xiang also made a straight face, and Fox Fence glared at Thirteen in annoyance.
No matter how they reacted, Thirteen remained serious and composed, and he turned his head to look at Fox Xiaomei, colliding with her calm gaze.
"Since my father is your savior, my father should have the final say, and he said that if he doesn't want you to repay him, he really doesn't need you to repay him."
“…… However, that's not my style of doing things. Thirteen frowned, and after seriously thinking about Hu Xiaomei's words, he replied. There is no hint of fascination in the expression!
How can there be such a dull person, who has a good body in vain!
Hu Xiaomei scolded secretly, slowed down her voice, and said in a resolute tone: "You have your principles, we also have our principles, you must know how to be flexible." ”
Thirteen suddenly wrinkled his brows, I don't know what he seemed to think, his brows tightened more and more, his face became more and more difficult, and even the corners of his eyes began to beat faintly.
Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang still remembered the last time, the two of them were shocked, afraid that he would get sick again, just wanted to signal Hu Xiaomei not to talk anymore, but saw Thirteen slowly loosen his brows, and the whole person slowly relaxed, but his face was still ugly, he raised his head, stared straight at Hu Xiaomei, and said slowly: "I understand." However, the saving grace must be repaid. ”
"Okay, you can help my dad dig yellow mud later." Fox Xiaomei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She wondered what was in this man's head?
"Okay." Thirteen lowered his eyebrows, turned around and sat down outside the door.
Fox Xiaomei and the others glanced at each other, entered the yard one after another, and waited for Fox Dayou to take the wolf, and then went to dig yellow mud with Thirteen. (To be continued......)
