CHAPTER XXXIX
"No, no, the old man rarely has the opportunity to come to the countryside, and this time he can come here, which makes the old man miss it very much, and the countryside is a rare pure fluttering atmosphere. Back then, I was also very old man, but I ......" Steward Zhang said nostalgically, and said sadly, "Now that I am old and can't run, let the young and strong follow the master, and I will stay with the young master quietly." ”
From Steward Zhang's words, Shen Xinran heard that he was also a person with a story, and he didn't ask if he didn't say it, after all, this was his private matter, and he was not interested in knowing.
"Uncle Wen values you very much, otherwise he wouldn't have come to you."
"Miss Shen is really a delicate person." Steward Zhang was stunned, and then reacted, "I grew up with my master since childhood. ”
"Steward Zhang, what do you think of the progress now?"
"To be honest, before the future, this progress was very slow, and after coming here, seeing the process, I also expected that it would not come soon, but it was acceptable."
"At present, it can only be like this, I have added tools again, and it will have to be put into use after the busy farming. When the farm is over, the rest can be taught. Shen Xinran also said the plan.
"This spring planting is a big deal, understand. I'll arrange the workshop, I'll go and get busy first. Steward Zhang saw Shen Youfu coming from afar, so he took his leave.
"Dad, why are you here?" Shen Xinran nodded slightly, and hurriedly greeted Shen Youfu.
"It's a good thing, the village chief replied, there is a family in our neighboring village, and his son made a fortune to take them to Hengfu, and the family land wants to be sold, and the village chief just mentioned it, and their village chief remembered it." Shen Youfu said.
"How many?" Shen Xinran didn't expect to reply so quickly.
"There are eight acres of first-class fertile land and three acres of second-class fields, and this family is also a good worker, and the yield of the fields served is high."
"Then let's take a look."
"The village chief and their village chief are waiting at home, and your third uncle is entertaining." Shen Youfu was also anxious to find it.
After all, the field is the root of survival in the farmhouse. It's also that the more property the better, but it's a big deal.
No matter how much money you make, it's just a number for Shen Youfu, but the fields are different, it's real, so Shen Youfu is undoubtedly the happiest when he decides to buy another field.
Shen Youfu returned to his heart like an arrow along the way.
"Hello Uncle Chief." Shen Xinran returned home, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged and elderly person he didn't know.
"Xiao Ran is back, this is the village chief of the neighboring village Shanglang Village, you can just call him Uncle Zhao."
"Uncle Zhao."
"Hey, that your father is running too fast, I have a request to tell you, that their family is urgently sold, they are all good fields, they don't buy them separately, his first-class fields are connected, so the only requirement is to sell them together, not to buy them separately." Village Chief Zhao was embarrassed.
"That's fine, but we'll have to look at it before we decide." The more the better, the main thing is to be suitable.
"Okay, I'll take you." Obviously, Village Chief Zhao is also an anxious person, so he pulled the ox cart and drove there without saying a word.
As the village chief Zhao said, the eight acres are connected together, and the second-class fertile land is about 200 meters away. More concentrated. Whether it is good or not, we have to wait for Shen Youfu and the village chief to come back, after all, she is not a change of personnel, but also a professional.
"It's really a good field." Shen Youfu turned around and came back and said.
"Lao Zhao, you have to worry about this price"
Village Chief Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly spoke, and his heart was ecstatic, "This must be who of us and whom, such a good field nine. Five taels, two second class seven. Five taels will cost ninety-eight. Five taels, so you give a whole number of ninety-seven, and the red deed transfer is not needed, leave it to me. Village Chief Zhao gritted his teeth and decided.
Shen Xinran didn't expect that this fertile land was 100 wen cheaper than the market, and now it has dropped again, plus going to the yamen to do the red deed transfer and the like, at least ten taels less than expected.
"Uncle Zhao, can you call the shots at this price?" You can save money, of course, it's the best, but you can't lose it.
"To be honest, this price is the lowest price, and I don't know if I should say it or not." Village Chief Zhao thought for a while before he spoke, "I also want to buy a good one for you, this spring is coming, and we also want to learn how to dig herbs." Village Chief Zhao reluctantly spoke.
Shen Xinran was in a trance, this herb is easy to dig but there is no market.
"Yes, but it's not going to be too good and overloaded."
"No, no, no," Village Chief Zhao was overjoyed.
"Then it will be troublesome for the village chief to teach them more, and they will be charged at the same price."
Village Chief Zhao had to admire Shen Xinran for having such a mind, and said to the village chief, "Brother Shen is lucky, it would be great if Miss Shen was in my Shanglang Village." ”
"you, you're not awake from your dreams, it's important to hurry up." The two know each other very well, and they love to talk and laugh on weekdays.
"You're just stealing the fun!"
"Hmph, I still need to steal, I'm happy to see everyone, hehe said" The two of them teased like a naughty boy along the way. Everyone is happy to solve the big things, and the jokes are non-stop.
"Xiao Ran, thank you." On the way back, the village chief said that after covering his handprint, Village Chief Zhao rushed to the yamen to deal with the follow-up.
Of course, Shen Xinran didn't let him lose one hundred and fifty taels to talk about him. For the sake of him, there are not many village chiefs who are conscientious for the sake of the villagers. And he is familiar with the village chief, as the saying goes, people and groups. I think the character is not bad. He has a field at home, and sometimes he has to rely on him.
"If you can let the village chief and uncle help, Uncle Zhao must also be a reliable person." Shen Xinran smiled and said, "But you have to work hard, and the village chief and uncle will take care of it." ”
"Don't worry, if there is anything at that time, I will bear it."
"I believe Uncle. Eat together in the evening. ”
"It's coming, it's coming." The village chief said happily.
Everyone separated at the entrance of the village, after all, there was still a lot of work to do.
The village chief's daughter-in-law looked through the water at home, and saw the village chief coming back slowly from a distance.
"Ouch, old man, you're back, but you're dying." The village chief's daughter-in-law hurriedly greeted her. It's a bad guy.
"Your mother-in-law has been like this all her life, anxious. Your grandchildren are going to laugh at you. ”
The four people who were playing on the side heard the village chief call "Grandpa." ”
"Good, it's okay for you, my grandmother and I are in the hall, don't run around." The village chief said softly, showing love. "If you don't pour me a glass of water first, I'm dying of thirst."
"Dead old man, he loves to pretend." The village chief's daughter-in-law buried him, and kept walking towards the hall.
The village chief followed behind, and a group of grandchildren behind him covered their mouths and secretly had fun, accustomed to the way the two of them got along.
"Come, tired village chief, come sit and drink tea. Or knead and knead your shoulders. ”
"Well, this tea-making technique is a little worse than mine, so let's rub my shoulders."
"Hmph, it's got to be done." The village chief's daughter-in-law pinched the village chief's ear, "Get out, hurry up, I don't have time to mess with you, I still have to cook, and I won't be able to catch up when my sons and daughters-in-law come back." It made me panic. ”
"Can I do this with me?"
"That's good, I can't eat well at this time, I can't eat, I'm shocked, I can't keep my mouth shut." The village chief's daughter-in-law said guiltily.
"In the future, I still want to talk about it, don't let others be agitated like pouring beans, and say in a hurry."
"Got it, you go to sleep quickly, dinner will call you." Solve the stone pressed in my heart, and the village chief's daughter-in-law is in a good mood.
