Nie Zhen is gone.

Zhang Wei declared to the public that he went to Fucheng to apprentice and traveled by the way, and many people with meritorious names in this era will travel to increase their knowledge and experience, so no one doubts that what Zhang Wei said is true or false.

In the first few days, Zhang Wei was very unaccustomed to it, but slowly, as she got busy, her attention began to shift.

It's late May (lunar calendar), and it's time to harvest the soybeans in the field.

Zhang Wei doesn't have to worry about harvesting soybeans, the few acres of land divided by the Mu family have been contracted to the Tong family, and the land sent by Nie Shu is also taken care of by tenant farmers.

What Zhang Wei has to worry about is planting medicinal herbs after harvesting soybeans.

At present, the types of seeds are limited, and Zhang Wei plans to only plant banlan root and hyssop, which can be planted at this time.

On this day, early in the morning, Liu Sanjin, a tenant farmer who had planted the ten acres of land, came to deliver grain.

The soybean yield of five acres of land is about 900 catties, and 20% of it is the income of tenant farmers, and the rest is all owned by the landlord.

Nearly 700 catties of soybeans caused a sensation as soon as they were sent to the village.

Zhang Wei has an extra ten acres of land, except for her family, no one else knows, so when she saw Liu Sanjin sending so much food, she thought that Zhang Wei bought it.

In these years, the peasant households only sold grain for money, and did not buy grain and hoard grain, so the people in the village came over one by one.

"Xiaowei, how did you buy so much food?" The red lady said, "It's all soybeans, what are you buying so many soybeans for?" ”

"I didn't buy it, I produced it in my own land."

"From your own land?" The red lady exclaimed, "Do you still have land elsewhere?" ”

"Hmm."

Yang Xiaoling, the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Hong, was very envious: "Then why do you grow soybeans?" ”

The economic value of wheat and millet is relatively high, so generally everyone mainly grows these things.

"When I bought it, I already planted soybeans." Zhang Wei said, "By the way, auntie, do you want to continue to help me plant those acres of land in my family?" ”

When the red lady heard this, she said, "Do you still let me plant?" Auntie doesn't lie to you, I want to plant, it's just ...... I'm afraid you're inconvenient. ”

"It's convenient for me, if you want, plant winter wheat for me, according to the rules, you take 20% of all the output, if you don't want food, I can give you silver."

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Aunt Hong was overjoyed: "Then it's decided, Xiaowei thank you, Auntie doesn't know what to say." ”

In this era, the landlords were really rich and had a lot of grain, and the tenant farmers worked hard to cultivate the land and could only get 20% of the harvest, so there were still many people who had no land to share.

Zhang Wei sympathizes with these tenant farmers, but she can't reduce the rent for no reason, some rules can't be easily broken, and there are many ways to help others.

As soon as the neighbors left, Zhang Wei turned her attention back to Liu Sanjin.

"Uncle Liu."

Uncle Liu, Liu Sanjin trembled: "Don't dare, don't dare, the lady of the owner, what are your orders?" ”

"Uncle, it's like this, I want to replant these ten acres of land into medicinal herbs......"

"What? Herbs? Liu Sanjin was anxious when he heard this, "The lady of the owner, this ......"

"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me, I don't want to take back the land, I want to ask you to continue planting, but it's a medicinal herb."

"But...... I...... I won't! Liu Sanjin was very anxious, he was worried that Zhang Wei would not let them share, and he didn't want to grow medicinal herbs, he felt that it was worth growing food, after all, it was more secure to grow food for so many years.

Zhang Wei knows that for ordinary people, they will not think about innovation and reform, and seeking stability is their way of life.

"Uncle, don't get excited, you listen to me first, I know you don't know how to plant, I will tell you how to plant, the medicinal materials planted, I also have channels to sell, I have two plans here, the first you are according to my requirements for Chinese medicinal materials, then I will give you two percent of the harvested medicinal materials, if you are worried that the planting is not good or afraid that the income of two percent of the medicinal materials is not as good as planting soybeans and mung beans, I will give you your current annual income, what do you say?"

Liu Sanjin fell into thought.

Zhang Wei said: "Uncle, in this land, I must grow medicinal herbs." ”

The implication is that if you don't want to plant, I'll let someone else plant.

Liu Sanjin hesitated and said, "That...... The lady of the owner, I grow medicinal herbs, you give me the current income, is it okay? ”

"Yes, ten acres of land, you can harvest about 180 catties of soybeans and mung beans and 500 catties of wheat every year, and I will calculate this amount for you in the future."

Liu Sanjin thanked him for his kindness: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

"When you go back, clean up all the bean stalks in the field, loosen the ground, and I'll look for you in three days." After speaking, Zhang Wei took another bag of sugar and five catties of rice, "You take this back and eat it, the weather is hot, cook more mung bean soup, don't get heat stroke." ”

Liu Sanjin was flattered: "This ...... How does this work? ”

"Take it! Do me a good job, and clean up the land for me as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry about this, I will do a good job, definitely, definitely."

……

Yang Xiaoling has been married for more than ten days, and she basically doesn't know the people in the village, but she recognizes Zhang Wei's family.

There's no way, the names Zhang Wei and Mu Feng appear too often in her mother-in-law's mouth!

In the evening, Yang Xiaoling asked Tong Jinshu: "Jinshu, is the relationship between our family and Mu Xiucai and his wife very good?" Xiaowei said today that her family's land is still for us to share. ”

Tong Jinshu suddenly frowned: "Really? ”

"Of course, let's plant all the wheat."

"Then plant wheat."

Yang Xiaoling hesitated for a moment and said, "Did the three younger brothers and sisters in their family say they kissed?" ”

"Not yet! Why do you ask this? ”

"My brother is eleven years old this year, you have seen that look, how strong, Mu Xue is eight years old this year......"

Tong Jinshu exclaimed: "Do you want to match your brother and Xiaoxue? ”

"What, no?" Yang Xiaoling said, "My brother is the only male child of the Yang family, and in the future, everything in our Yang family will be my brother's, and you see how strong my brother is, he won't be able to treat Xiaoxue in the future." ”

Tong Jinshu was still confused, and wanted to say that the conditions in your family were too poor, and they were far from others, but he was afraid that if he said this, Yang Xiaoling would feel that she looked down on her mother's family, and Tong Jinshu finally chose to shut up.

The more Yang Xiaoling thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible, and she went back to her parents' house the next day.

As soon as the Yang family heard that Yang Xiaoling said so well about the Mu family, they immediately agreed.

"Sister, you just said that there are two boys in the Mu family who didn't say goodbye?" Yang Xiaoling's eldest sister Yang Xiaomei asked.

"Well, their family is already married."

Mother Yang patted her thigh and said, "Then you can also introduce our two Xiaomei to Mu Xiucai and his younger brother!" How old is Mu Xiucai's younger brother, do you know? ”

When Yang Xiaoling heard this, she was not happy, the conditions of the Mu family were good, and she didn't want her sister to marry better than herself.

"My younger brother wants to study, and he will take the Xiucai exam in the future, Xiaomei, it's not my sister who buries you, do you think people can look up to you on your terms?"

Yang Xiaomei suddenly became angry, and angrily shook the door and left.

Mother Yang felt that what the eldest daughter said was very reasonable, and the second daughter was not very good in terms of appearance or others, and she still thought that her son and Mu Xue's marriage was good, and it was better to solve this problem first.

The red lady has a good relationship with Zhang Wei, and Yang's mother proposed to let the red lady be the matchmaker.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Xiaoling returned to Mujiagou and told Aunt Hong about it.

For her daughter-in-law's proposal, Mrs. Hong was surprised, and felt that this marriage was unlikely, so she was embarrassed: "This matter...... Xiaoxue is only eight years old, and Xiaowei is afraid that she will not agree. ”

"Mother, do you agree to this matter, when the time comes, my family is just my brother and a boy, and in the future, everything in our Yang family will be my brother's, how strong my brother's body is......"

Strong? The red lady said in her heart, that's fat, fat......

Under Yang Xiaoling's strong request, Mrs. Hong couldn't wipe her face, and the next morning she found Zhang Wei while selling herbs.

"Auntie's harvest today is good."

"Okay." After Mrs. Hong finished speaking, she looked around, there was no one around, she asked, "Xiaowei, Xiaoxue is eight years old this year, do you have any ideas to find her a mother-in-law?" ”

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Aunt Hong, this is trying to be a matchmaker for my Xiaoxue?" ”

Yang Xiaoling on the side said with a smile: "I think Sister Xiaoxue is sensible and cute, and I especially want such a sister." ”

That's all said and done, Zhang Wei still doesn't understand something.

However, Zhang Wei didn't point it out, and politely refused: "My Xiaoxue is still young, I want to write it and wait a few more years for her to see." ”

"Now that there is a suitable one, it will not affect anything, and when the age comes, it will be good to get married directly!"

"Listen to my sister-in-law, is there a suitable candidate? Which family is the other party's son? What are the conditions at home? How much dowry are you going to give my Xiaoxue? It is said that the man's family conditions are not better than ours, at least on a horizontal line, if it is worse than us, then I will definitely not agree to marry my sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Hong and Yang Xiaoling looked at each other, slightly embarrassed.

Yang Xiaoling wanted to get married to this family affair so much, he laughed twice and said, "This family is secondary, the most important thing is to look at the people!" People are good, my sister will be able to live well in the future, what do you say? ”

"Where is it so easy to see whether people are good or not? Besides, people will change, my sister-in-law said so, isn't the man's family condition bad? ”

Yang Xiaoling smiled dryly: "It's not as good as your family, but ........."

Zhang Wei didn't give her a chance to speak, and hurriedly asked, "Then if that man is particularly good, you can also consider it?" Sister-in-law, is that man reading books particularly well? If he reads well and is a top talent, we can also consider it. ”

"You're asking too much." Yang Xiaoling's face changed completely, and she felt that Zhang Wei looked down on her.

"Is this still high?" Zhang Wei said, "If the family wants money or not, if they want talent or not, what do they want him?" He is poor, he is ugly, he is incapable? My Xiaoxue looks like a peugeot, the eldest brother is a show, the second brother and the third brother are also studying, and the homework is also doing well, maybe in a few years, you can also take the test before you come back, our family has land, money and a medical center, not to mention the right door, at least the four of the wealth and appearance should account for one! ”

Aunt Hong nodded again and again: "Xiaowei is right." ”

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Yang Xiaoling, but Yang Xiaoling pretended not to see it.
