Chapter 17 New Year's Greetings
"Liu He, what do you mean by your long-term workers, and that Aunt Li, she always looks at me with that kind of eye, I tell you, I won't marry you." As soon as everyone left, Zhang Zhen began to scream.
"What are you calling me, look at your appearance of having no breasts and no ass, I will take a fancy to you, how can I say that you are also a small landlord." In fact, what Liu He said was a bit against his will, and Zhang Zhen's breasts and buttocks were still not small, but they were still worse than those old ladies in the village.
"You ......" Zhang Zhen didn't know how to refute for a while, could she still say that my breasts are not small, how can I say this, "You hooligan." "Okay, okay, for the New Year, I won't quarrel with you, do you go out with me to pay New Year's greetings, or are you at home."
"Go by yourself, this is your village, not mine." Zhang Zhen's eyes dimmed, and Liu He could also feel Zhang Zhen's sadness, this is not a good thing if you can't go back to your home.
And Liu He couldn't persuade Zhang Zhen to go back, could he let her send it to the tiger's mouth, her father wanted her to marry an old man as a concubine.
"Okay, you can rest at home by yourself, if you are hungry, ask Aunt Li to give you warm food." As he spoke, Liu He packed up and went out, although he was a landlord here, but if he wanted to gain a foothold in this village, he still needed to make some friends.
This first stop came to Liu Xiucai's house, "Grandpa, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting, boom" Liu He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xiucai three times, there is nothing soft kneeling in Liu He's mind, kowtow to the elders during the New Year, this is a serious matter, the thousand-year-old inheritance is not in vain, and this Liu Xiucai is his authentic elder.
In the memory of Liu He's later generations, there is such a legend of Liu Xiucai, so this Liu Xiucai is his very close elder. "Okay, great-grandson, hurry up, come, come, sit."
Liu He got up and sat down under Liu Xiucai, although some children and Liu Xiucai's son are also elders, but these people are not worthy of Liu He's kowtow, and only by respecting Liu Xiucai can you respect Liu Xiucai alone.
"Come, great-grandson, grandpa gave you New Year's money, I hope you have a better life this year, and your son will be more prosperous." Liu Xiucai took out a red envelope, and naturally Liu He would not shirk it, so he took it casually, just pinching it in his hand, he knew that there were four or five silver dollars in it, this Liu Xiucai was really generous.
Naturally, this was prepared for him a long time ago, and given him so much, this Liu Xiucai also had ideas. "Great-grandson, I don't know what you say about the wheat you planted, and what is going on with your ditch in the wheat field." Liu Xiucai's land is not very much, there are more than 20 acres, and there are no long-term and short-term workers, there are enough people in the family, naturally he also attaches great importance to the cultivation of wheat, this is a fine grain, but the wheat yield in this era is too low, and after planting this season, there is no way to plant anything else, so he cares about Liu He's affairs.
"Grandpa, there's nothing to hide from this, my ditches are planted with corn at that time, so that the corn yield will not be reduced, and a season of wheat can be harvested, although the yield is lower."
"Well, good idea, so that you can eat fine grains, you young people's brains are really alive." Liu Xiucai patted his thigh and said.
This is really not a big deal in Liu He's heart, because it is generally done in later generations, and even Liu He plans to plant peanuts this year, because he saw some peanuts in the mountains, and soybeans or something, and he also misses that tofu.
"Okay, you young people let's talk, my old man is going to rest, it's been a night's sleep," Liu Xiucai said before getting up and walking into the back room.
It seems that this Liu Xiu is specially waiting for Liu He to come, and the people who paid New Year's greetings in front of him have already come.
Seeing Liu Xiucai enter the inner room, Liu He also immediately got up and said goodbye, the next household is the village chief's house, and now Liu He knows that the village chief is also surnamed Liu, and his seniority is not low, but he is only a generation lower than Liu Xiucai.
"Grandpa the village chief, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting." With the same action, Liu He also kowtowed three times, "Ah, Liu Dongjia, how can I stand it." "The village chief is not Liu Xiucai, although the name of a village chief is only designated by the government of this era, just to have someone to help collect taxes or something, and even sometimes help recruit soldiers.
Village Chief Liu's family has much less land, he only has seven or eight acres of land, naturally Liu He came, he really can't stand Liu He's kowtow, you know, Liu Xiucai has the reputation of a Xiucai, and he, except for this village chief, there is nothing left, if this is in a rich village, this village chief is still useful, but in this poor village, the village chief is synonymous with anger.
"Grandpa the village chief, just sit there and don't get up." Liu He pressed down the village chief who wanted to get up, and then sat down himself.
"Grandpa the village chief, we organized a cooperative group, I don't know if you want to join, I know that half of your family's land is sand, and it is still too late to improve it this spring."
"This, Liu Dongjia, how embarrassed am I to take advantage of you." "Grandpa the village chief, this is not a kind of advantage, I just want everyone to have a better life, if you are always willing, you can go and tell Uncle Li, now this matter is in charge of Uncle Li."
"Okay then, I'll go find Xiao Lizi." This village chief is also in a hurry, and Liu He is still here, so he is anxious to find Uncle Li. "You old thing, you can't sit still for a moment, I didn't see that Liu Dongjia is still here."
At this time, the village chief's mother-in-law also understood, and naturally she was also very happy, but Liu He hadn't left yet, so she scolded the village chief.
"Okay, village chief, that's it, I'm leaving, and there are a few more I haven't got." "Liu Dongjia, it's okay to come to the house to play." The village chief's mother-in-law shouted after her.
Next, Liu He went to Changgong's house one by one and took a turn, which was considered to be the end of the first day of junior high school, and he rested early after returning home.
