Hexi Prefecture is like spring all year round, whether it is aquatic products or crops, there is basically a harvest throughout the year, which is why Hexi Prefecture is a rich land.

The market was particularly lively in the previous year, all the vendors gathered together, whether they had money or no money, everyone was equally willing to spend money in terms of New Year's and New Year's goods. After a year of hard work, only the Chinese New Year is a day to have a good rest, eat and drink well, so everyone is not ambiguous when they buy things!

The crabs of the Xi family are sold well in the market, after all, they are artificially bred, and the feed is more sufficient than the wild ones, so they are also larger, and many restaurants and restaurants in the county are bought in several baskets, plus retail, the Xi family earns more this time.

Everyone has seen the business opportunities before, so many people have followed suit, but after the crab seedlings were bought, a large number of them died within a few days, and they couldn't live at all, and everyone was curious about how the crab was raised.

Xi Hongdou originally knew that everyone was learning, but it was not easy for these people to learn, and their crab seedlings were not able to live at the beginning, they were all summed up by several feed "formulas", and it was not so easy to get rich.

As soon as the end of the year came, Xi Hongdou received a lot of money, and Daddy Xi went to Li Zheng to buy land.

Gao Li is very famous in Xijia Village, and when Xi's father came to the door, he also brought several catties of his own crabs, and asked Xi Hongdou to make a basket of steamed cakes and bring them over.

The etiquette is complete, and Gao Lizheng naturally greeted him with a smile, and after asking, he learned that Father Xi wanted to buy land and then pass it to his daughter's name.

"Big brother, it's common to buy land, but it's the first time I've seen this for my daughter." Gao Lizheng said that he also has a daughter, thinking that when he reaches the marriageable age, he will prepare a dowry to marry, and the land property must be left to his son, even if the Xi family is too accustomed to daughters, this habit is a bit outrageous.

Father Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so this time I will trouble my brother to help." "It's all for the good of the daughter, especially the money is also deserved by Xi Hongdou, their mother's family can't take anything, and their family has also got a lot of money because of this, and has become the richest family in Xijia Village this year, what is he not satisfied with.

When Gao Li heard this, he nodded, took the map of the village, and said, "Now unless you buy ready-made, or you have to reclaim it yourself, what should you do with your family?" "The ready-made land is negotiated between farmers, and then he will pass the written title deed, if it is his own reclamation, it will take a little effort, but the money paid for the reclamation land can also be less, it depends on how the Xi family wants to choose.

"We choose to reclaim the wasteland." Daddy Xi said, Hexi Prefecture doesn't say anything else, this paddy field is a first-class high price, Xi Hongdou If you buy a ready-made paddy field, I am afraid that it will only be enough for ten acres of land, but if you reclaim the wasteland, twenty-five acres is considered easy, and when the time comes, the cost of hiring someone to reclaim the land will be enough.

Gao Lizheng pointed to the map and said, "That's it, it's close to the river, and it's more convenient to reclaim the wasteland." ”

"Thank you so much, brother!" Daddy Xi said with a smile, the location given by Gao Li is indeed good, and the land that is reclaimed after the reclamation is generally not given a particularly good place, and the price is not low.

Gao Li is smiling: "This is a part, the eldest niece has brought so many gifts, and I, as an uncle, can't help but appreciate it!" ”

Xi Hongdou, who didn't say a word throughout the whole process, said with a smile at this time: "During the New Year, it is appropriate to come to Uncle Gao to pay New Year's greetings!" "As the saying goes, it's really good to spend money.

Gao Li is smiling, the Xi family has indeed sent a lot of things today, and the things they have sent are also a lot of money.

happily took the stamped paperwork, and Daddy Xi took Xi Hongdou home first. Now that the 25 acres of land deed is also in hand, he is not in a hurry to reclaim the wasteland, Xi Hongdou said that his field will be kept first, and he will plant it immediately if he is not in a hurry.

The Xi family's grain has also been harvested, and the crabs have almost been sold, and the small new crabs left behind are regarded as a new batch of crab seedlings, and even the money for buying crab seedlings has been saved, and people have been hired to replant the seedlings in the field, and then they will wait for the New Year.

When Zhao Tiezhu was on the ridge at night, the widow and the woman came to deliver the meal, and saw that Zhao Tiezhu was still thinking about Xi Hongdou, so the widow and the woman persuaded him: "Do you still want to eat swan meat as a toad?" ”

"I'd love to!" Zhao Tiezhu snorted, now he is not a lazy man, and he can make some money by playing in the Xi family.

The widow pouted, sighed and said, "I won't bring you food in the future." Originally, I wanted to be nice to Zhao Tiezhu, and the two of them could go together in the future, but now that Zhao Tiezhu is Wang Ba eats scales and iron, she wants to be a fast son-in-law for the Xi family, so she doesn't need to have any expectations for Zhao Tiezhu.

As soon as he heard that the widow and wife were not delivering food, Zhao Tiezhu asked, "What's wrong?" I don't have enough food to eat? ”

"No, I'll send you the rest of the food, I'm a widow, and I'm afraid that someone will say something unpleasant." The widow said that in the future, just cut it off, there are so many men in the world, and there is no need to fall in love with this lazy flower.

Zhao Tiezhu didn't feel good in his heart, he couldn't cook or wash clothes as a man, and the widow Sun helped him a lot, and now that he was about to let go, he was still a little panicked in his heart.

The widow said, "Okay, I'm going too." Then she turned and left, and although she was a widow, she also knew what it meant to go away.

Seeing the widow and the widow Sun leave, Zhao Tiezhu felt even more uncomfortable, but he couldn't chase it, people helped him, and he could see the affection of the widow and the widow and the woman to some extent, but he ......

At dawn, Zhao Tiezhu was about to go down the ridge, and he happened to meet Xi Hongdou who got up early. 、

Xi Hongdou is a little worried about the difference between the breeding of this "second generation" crab seedlings and wild crab seedlings, so he came to see how the growth is.

There is basically no work in the field, and Zhao Tiezhu is the only one who looks at the past.

"Red Bean Girl is here!" Zhao Tiezhu greeted him with a smile on his face and asked.

When Xi Hongdou saw Zhao Tiezhu, he shouted: "Brother Tiezhu." She had long forgotten about Zhao Tiezhu's proposal at home before, and she didn't take it to heart at all, let alone have any cramped reactions.

Zhao Tiezhu smiled and asked, "What is the red bean girl doing so early?" ”

"I'll take a look at the crab seedlings, is Brother Tiezhu also going to be on duty?" Xi Hongdou chatted casually.

Zhao Tiezhu nodded and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll look at it for a while." ”

Xi Hongdou didn't talk to Zhao Tiezhu anymore, and looked intently at the crab seedlings raised in the paddy field, but Zhao Tiezhu still looked at Xi Hongdou, feeling that as long as he looked at Xi Hongdou, it was a kind of happiness.

The old woman and daughter-in-law who passed by looked at Zhao Tiezhu and looked at Xi Hongdou with a stupid expression, and they all laughed and discussed, and then they didn't even work for half a day, and the rumor spread again.

When Sister-in-law Xi went to the river to wash clothes, she listened to what those long-tongued women said, and then she didn't even bother to wash her clothes, so she trotted all the way home and found Aunt Xi.

"What? They said that our family wanted Zhao Tiezhu to be the son-in-law?! Nothing! Who's the ass fart again? Look at my mouth! Aunt Xi said, she doesn't have no son, so why bother to recruit her daughter upside down?!

Sister-in-law Xi said: "It is said that Zhao Tiezhu was crooked with red beans on the ridge in the morning!" ”

"Greasy? I think they are tired of living, Hongdou went in the morning and came back without a fart, and Zhao Tiezhu is in his thirties, a round older than Hongdou, they are really blind! "Aunt Xi really hates the broken mouths of these long-tongued women, and she dares to say anything!

When Xi Hongdou heard the news, he was also helpless, this village can really be arranged!

"Zhao Tiezhu can't stay, let him fight and make trouble!" Aunt Xi said, you have to change someone to play the shift.

Xi Hongdou said: "People haven't done anything, so it's not appropriate to let people go like this." "If there are many lice, she is not afraid of biting, and she will go back to the county seat as soon as the year is over, and they will go with them as they like!

"It's endless!" Aunt Xi said, when will this day be a head, and if it is passed on, Xi Hongdou will not be able to say goodbye in this life.

Xi Hongdou didn't care about how it was spread outside, and continued to study the soil every day, and now the seeds planted have sprouted, but it is also necessary to look at the situation of seeds, so as to finally determine the degree of dryness and humidity of the soil is the best.

Rumors spread all over the place, Zhao Tiezhu was happy, a woman with good faith came to ask, Zhao Tiezhu did not clarify directly, and what he said was also ambiguous, which made people even more misunderstood.

Xiao Zhi hasn't seen Xi Hongdou for several days, and the market in the county has not been opened for some days, from the twentieth day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, basically there are few shops on the street.

"Young master, this is Bao Fangzhai's dim sum." Chief Steward Wu temporarily bought some from other places for Xiao Zhi to replace first, Xi Hongdou's steamed cake has been out of stock for a few days, and Xiao Zhi has a bad face every day these days, and he has no appetite for anything.

Xiao Zhi took a look, picked it up and threw it back with only one bite, and said, "It's not delicious, don't buy their family in the future!" ”

Wu was helpless, so he said: "The market is not open, and the red bean girl's pastries can't be bought." ”

"He's from Xijia Village?" Xiao Zhi asked, "Go to Xijia Village to buy it." ”

Chief Steward Wu was about to faint, so he said: "People are also going to celebrate the New Year, so they can't be forced to buy and sell." ”

"Let the coachman set the car, I'm going to Xijia Village." Xiao Zhi said directly.

"Huh?" Steward Wu also has a headache, this ancestor really thinks of one play is one play!

Xiao Zhi went to Xijia Village, not specifically to order steamed cakes, or to be bored and want to walk around.

The scenery along the road is good, he has not been in Yunzhou City for a long time, and he has not experienced how distinctive the area of Hexi Prefecture is. There is no snow in winter, and there are still greenery, which is something that has never been seen in Kyoto Castle. The rice in the field has just been planted, but the phosphorescent light on the water surface is flashing one after another, and the mood is much brighter when I look at it.
