Chapter 144: Fulfillment
"There really are pears for sale." Hua Chen drove his horse to the entrance of the street, "Sister, wait, brother is going to buy pears." ”
After a while, Hua Chen personally took the pear and handed it to Bai Tao.
White Peach leaned out of the window to pick up the pear, and a breeze blew, blowing the curtain higher.
Hua Jin only felt a cool breeze blowing on his face, and he was refreshed, and when he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the window, he saw the cold side face and the slender fingers holding the horsewhip casually.
"Thank you, brother and Xuan Gongzi!"
Looking at the yellow pears, Hua Jin's voice was a little lighter.
Especially her brother always takes care of her so personally, even if it is a small matter like buying pears, he will never fake it to others. Before the pears were eaten, Hua Jin felt sweet in his heart.
The carriage was already prepared with water, and Bai Tao washed and peeled the pears, and cut the snow-white pear flesh into pieces and put them in the empty bowl.
Hua Jin ate a few pieces with a copper fork, and the sweet and icy pear meat really made her feel a lot more comfortable, and the headache was gone.
The ice and snow on the ground had already melted, the road was smooth, and the group arrived at Anyang Town in more than two hours.
Hua Chen turned his head to look at the deep cultivator pulled by the board car at the end of the team, and the young man's immature face was a little more radiant.
It's just that as soon as he turned his head, this look froze on his face.
At this time, a large number of tenants gathered in front of the gate of the village, and the front of the gate was surrounded by water.
Didn't he already promise the tenants a rent reduction for them? Wouldn't that work too?
In the nervousness, he subconsciously lightly tightened the reins in his hand, and the leg holding the horse's belly tightened unconsciously.
In a daze, he didn't forget to look back at his sister's carriage and tell the coachman, "Stop and prepare to turn the head of the carriage." He was afraid that these tenants would unconsciously hurt his sister if they made trouble.
And he himself drove his horse to meet the tenants.
Xuan Fei, who was beside Hua Chen, also frowned like Hua Chen the moment he saw those tenants, but after a while, when he saw some details clearly, his slightly tense handsome face gradually unfolded.
The moment the carriage stopped, Hua Jin asked Zhitao to open the curtain, "Look what's going on outside?" ”
Zhi Tao leaned over and saw the crowd gathered not far away, "Fifth girl, there are a lot of tenants at the gate of the village, I don't know what is going on." Her little face became solemn and looked back at Hua Jin, "The fourth young master and Xuan Gongzi have already patted their horses over, so the fifth girl should avoid it." ”
The news of the rent reduction has been going on for some time, and there is no longer any sharp contradiction between these tenants and them, and the new head of the village, Chen Qinghe, has always had a good relationship with these tenants, and will not let these tenants block the door to make trouble for them.
Thinking of this, Hua Jin stretched his brows and said to Zhi Tao: "Let the carriage continue to move forward." ”
As soon as the words fell, she heard the passionate voices of the tenants: "It's the fourth young master and the fifth girl who are here, and they are finally here!" ”
Hua Chen rode his horse to the gate of the village, and the tenants were in high spirits, looking at him as if they were looking forward to a distant relative.
Before he could figure out the situation, a middle-aged tenant suddenly squatted beside his horse, "Fourth Young Master, step on the small one and dismount." The tone was so expectant.
He lowered his eyes to look at the man crouching underneath, holding his body firmly on the ground with his rough hands, expecting him to step on the spine.
Hua Chen's eyes were a little sour, and after hesitating, he heard those gritty, somewhat hoarse voices, and said, "Fourth Young Master, you just step on the three pillars and come down!" Come down! ”
Then he came to his senses, pulled the reins and kept his horse away from the tenant called the Three Pillars, and turned over and dismounted.
jumped off the horse with a bang, and the three pillars also got up and looked at Hua Chen with some unwillingness and even a little aggrieved, "Fourth young master, why don't you step on it?" The little one has changed into clean clothes before coming, and you can't get your shoes dirty. Hua Chen was afraid of stepping on his clothes, but he was afraid of soiling Hua Chen's shoes.
An old tenant stepped forward and grabbed the three pillars, "How are you talking to the fourth young master?" If you don't go up or down, you don't make amends quickly. ”
Sanzhuzi just wanted to go down and kowtow to Hua Chen again, but he heard a warm voice behind him, "Brother didn't blame you, he just recently learned some fist and foot kung fu, and getting off and off the horse is the most basic practice." ”
Everyone looked for prestige, including Xuan Fei, who was about to turn over and dismount, and their eyes fell on a little girl wearing a jade cloak.
She raised her lips slightly and smiled, the smile was so pure that she seemed to be able to see the gurgling stream at the bottom, which unconsciously made people feel happy.
"It's the fifth girl here!" The tenants unconsciously surrounded the Huachen and Huajin brothers and sisters, "We can look forward to the two Bodhisattva masters!" ”
The tenants couldn't help but say, and they offered what they were holding in their arms like offering treasures.
Some held a basket of eggs they had saved for the winter, some held a plate of freshly fried beans with a burnt aroma, and some pulled out felt insoles embroidered with simple patterns.
The tenants said one after another: "The fourth young master and the fifth girl should accept it, this is a little bit of our heart." ”
This is not just a little heart, this is the best they can come up with, Hua Jin saw a little boy being held in his mother's arms and looking at the plate of beans with a coveted little appearance.
And she and her brother just lowered the rent for them that was unreasonably high.
At this time, Chen Qinghe, the head of the village, finally squeezed through the crowd, and he sighed and persuaded: "You must always let the fourth young master and the fifth girl enter the house to rest!" ”
Someone among the tenants said, "Let's get out of the way and let the fourth young master and the fifth girl in, and give these things to Chen Zhuangtou." ”
The tenants suddenly moved out of the way, and quickly aligned themselves like well-trained soldiers.
Hua Chen just wanted to stretch out his hand to stop it, how could he ask for these people's things, they were reluctant to eat and use things after working hard with their backs to the loess and facing the sky for a year, how could he bear to ask for it.
It's just that before his hand was raised, he felt a slight pull on his sleeve with a not too big force.
Hua Chen sideways saw his sister's little face smiling at him, Hua Chen saw his sister walking over and grabbing a handful of fried beans and putting them in the little boy's hand, and then said to the tenants: "We have received everyone's kindness, and whatever the family has sent will go to Chen Zhuangtou to register it." ”
deepened his smile again, "This time, my brother brought a deep cultivator, and from today onwards, Chen Zhuangtou will take the deep cultivator to the fields of each household to do reclamation experiments, and they will come one by one in the order of registration, don't worry." Chen Zhuangtou will help everyone to increase grain production, and strive to make it possible for you who grow rice to eat white rice, and for your children to eat fried beans every day. ”
Everyone looked at Hua Jin, obviously a little girl who was only twelve years old, speaking at a speed that was not hurried or slow, and her tone was neither high nor low, but it sounded so subdued and frustrated, and it could even be described as sonorous and powerful.
It will inexplicably make people's hearts ripple, and there seems to be a hope slowly rising.
Can they really eat white rice?
Maybe it really is!
The previous promise of the fourth young master to reduce the rent was realized, and they believed in the fourth young master at the beginning, and now they also believe in the fifth girl.
The tenants' eyes gradually brightened, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Xuan Fei behind the crowd also pulled the corners of his lips, as if a smile was about to overflow.
