Chapter 212: Own Turf
Ruixue this half a year, the shop opened, the yard was built, it was the first time to buy a field and land, it was inevitable that there was some excitement in my heart, I waited for Zhao Fengnian to come back, so I got off the soft couch and walked back and forth in the yard, Caiyun Caiyue learned to count these days, only to learn a hundred, just now I practiced with a white silver bill, and I was so excited that my face was red, one helped Ruixue, and the other was lying on the crack of the second door to watch, and finally saw the father and son of the Zhang family go out, and shouted, "Madam, the guest is gone!" ”
Rui Xue immediately lifted the corner of her skirt and rushed over, and when Zhao Fengnian, who was smiling, entered the door, she asked, "How is it, did you buy it?" How much silver? ”
Zhao Fengnian took the title deed from his arms and shook it, and said with a smile, "Buy, six hundred taels of silver, Boss Zhao, you are now a veritable landlord's wife." ”
Rui Xue exclaimed happily, snatched the title deed into her hand, looked it up and down, and then put her hands on her waist, squinted her eyes, made an arrogant appearance, and said, "Boss Zhao will have to compliment Mrs. Ben well in the future, otherwise, hum, I won't give you food!" ”
Zhao Fengnian cooperated and made a humble appearance, and hurriedly saluted, "Madame is wise, and the small one must obey Madame's order." ”
Rui Xue giggled happily, stepped forward and hugged his neck and was about to jump into his arms, which made Zhao Fengnian panic and shouted, "Belly, belly!" ”
Rui Xue was helpless, honestly put down her hand, touched her stomach, and pouted, "This stinky boy, it's really in the way." ”
Zhao Fengnian smiled bitterly, the woman in the world who dislikes her son and gets in the way is only his wife.
Rui Xue pulled Zhao Fengnian into the house, first carefully hid the title deed, and then turned over a set of half-used dresses and changed them, and was about to go out to see her new territory.
Zhao Fengnian originally wanted to stop it, the sun was scorching outside, and it was about to have lunch, which was not a good time to go out, but seeing her full of interest, he couldn't speak, so he simply called Caiyun Caiyue, found a small basket, filled a pot of warm tea and two snacks, and then went forward hand in hand.
In the workshop, everyone also knew the father and son of the Zhang family, and when they saw them leaving, they surrounded Zhang Dahe to inquire, what happened to them when they came to the door, Zhang Dahe thought that everyone would know sooner or later, not to mention that this was also a happy event, so he said, "The shopkeeper bought a paddy field outside the village." ”
Everyone immediately shouted, they all heard that the rice seedlings in the paddy field were diseased, and the Zhang family was in a hurry to sell them, and now their own shopkeeper bought it, not a loss.
Zhang Dahe didn't know that the disease was secretly done by the Zhao family, but he just blindly trusted that his shopkeeper was not a person who would suffer, so he smiled and said, "The shopkeeper knows that the purchase price is only six hundred taels, even if it is confiscated this year, it is also very suitable." What's more, the plague is not necessarily incurable, ask an agronomist to treat it well, and maybe there will be half of the harvest left. ”
Everyone thought about it, and they began to come up with ideas one after another, mentioning which of their relatives said that the agronomists in the surrounding counties had good skills.
At this time, the Zhao family husband and wife went out of the second door, and everyone congratulated them together, Zhao Fengnian nodded, and instructed Yingzi to several, "The weather is hot these days, everyone is working hard, add two more meat dishes at noon today." ”
Yingzi responded with a smile, and everyone thanked them together, and their husband and wife went out of the gate side by side, and some people envied, "Our shopkeeper is really a blessing, since marrying the proprietor, opening a shop, building a yard, and buying a paddy field, the family business has prospered." ”
Yingzi glanced at Qiao'er, who was silent without a trace, and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper was seriously ill at the beginning, and the proprietress was also frightened. ”
Everyone nodded, grinned, and went about their jobs.
Zhao Fengnian and Rui Xue walked out of the village slowly, and met Wu Yu's three boys who came back from the river with Ben Lei, and they were very surprised to see the two of them walking out, and asked the reason, and heard that the paddy field was bought by his own family, Wu Yu knew in his heart, and he didn't rejoice much, but Da Zhuang and Heizi almost jumped up, and they all said that they were fooled, and the rice seedlings in the paddy field were infected.
Rui Xue patted them on the shoulder and said a few words of relief, Wu Yu also said, "Stupid, is our family the one who suffers." ”
The two boys scratched their heads, and saw that the three members of the Zhao family were all determined, so they followed them into the field with half a doubt.
After drying for half a day, the rice seedlings in the field wilted for three points, and they were simply floating on the water, Ren Ruixue knew the inside story, and couldn't help but worry, and wanted to squat down to check, but was stopped by Zhao Fengnian, pulled one out with his own hands, and motioned her to look at the roots. She was relieved, and when she was about to walk to the middle of the ground, Zhao Fengnian resolutely refused to allow it, so she had to find a willow tree in the shade to sit.
On the west side of this paddy field is a small river, and there is only a big tree at the foot of the mountain in the south, and everyone marches towards it, only to find that there is a depressed man sitting under the tree, and it is the river.
Zhang Dahu sold the paddy field at a low price, and he had nowhere to vent his anger and hatred, so he took Zhang Jiang out of anger, kicked him for a long time, and also deducted the arrears of two months' wages, and drove him out of the house.
He thought that his mother was suffering from a cold and needed money to buy medicine and food, but he lost his errand and felt that he had no face to go home, so he lay down here and laid it off, but he didn't think about it, but he met Ruixue and others.
Zhao Fengnian originally planned to find someone who was familiar with this paddy field, and asked a few words, at this time, seeing him here, he started talking, Zhang Jiang was bored and didn't want to say much, but when the Zhao family held a wine banquet before, or sent zongzi during the festival, he didn't lose his this, and he didn't slack off, so he answered one by one, and when he heard that the Zhao family had become the new owner of this paddy field, he immediately jumped up, waved his hand one after another, and said, "If I were still in the Zhang family, I wouldn't be able to say this, but now that I was kicked out by the Zhang family, I can't watch Mr. Zhao suffer. Only to tell the truth, the rice seedlings in this field have yellow leaf disease, and this field will not harvest anything in two or three years, so Mr. hurried to Zhang's house to ask for the silver back. ”
Zhao Fengnian had heard people say that this Zhang Jiang was too lazy and slippery, but he didn't expect that he was still a sensitive, and he refused to tell the truth in advance, and he was really worried about the affairs of the master's family at this time, so he moved to leave him to continue to look at the rice fields.
Husband and wife are of the same heart, Rui Xue also has this plan, seeing him look over, he nodded slightly, Zhao Fengnian then said, "An Bo in our house, when I was in the south before, I saw such a disease, although it is more troublesome to treat, but it can also guarantee the harvest." ”
"Really, that's great, it's a pity that this 100 acres of paddy fields is really out of production." Zhang Jiang has been looking at the paddy fields for a few years, and he has some affection, and when he heard that it will not be extinct, he immediately rejoiced.
Zhao Fengnian said, "Our house bought this paddy field, but there is a lack of people to take care of it, if Master Zhang has no better place to go, it is better to stay and continue to take care of it, the salary is two percent more than Zhang's house, and three liters of rice grain are returned every month, how about it?" ”
Zhang Jiang listened to the words, only to feel that God must have opened his eyes, such a good thing can actually fall on his head, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed and thanked, "The shopkeeper can rest assured, my Zhang Jiang's life in the future will be the Zhao family, but if this paddy field lacks a rice seedling, it will be punished by the shopkeeper." ”
Zhao Fengnian helped him up and said with a smile, "How can it be so serious, as long as you take care of it more carefully than before." ”
Zhang Jiang's face turned red, and patting his chest was another guarantee.
Zhao Fengnian remembered that he had to sprinkle the antidote at night, so he said, "I heard that your old mother is sick, you should go home today to take care of it, and it is not too late to go to work tomorrow." ”
Zhang Jiang was even more grateful, thanked him again and again, and then trotted back to tell his mother the good news.
Caiyun Caiyue laid linoleum under the tree, set up tea and snacks, Rui Xue took a few children to sit down, while eating snacks, while pointing to the middle of the paddy field, as if it could fall down at any time, the small grass shed, said with a smile, "In the future, this is our family's field property, the small grass shed looks too shabby, after a while, take off the blank and build a small earthen house." ”
As long as she is happy, Zhao Fengnian naturally does not object, and several children also express their opinions, this one said that thorns should be planted on the edge of the field to prevent small beasts from coming down to harm the rice seedlings, and that one said that a dam should be barricaded by the river, in case of drought in any year, the field will not be afraid of lack of water, Rui Xue's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she praised their book for not reading in vain.
The family was talking lively, and from a distance, they saw that there were still some older people in the village who were a little older, and it was obvious that they had the news that the Zhao family had bought the land, Rui Xue and Zhao Fengnian glanced at each other, both grateful and helpless.
Sure enough, Li Zhengda shouted from afar, "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you bought this paddy field?" ”
Zhao Fengnian bowed, and then said, "I just bought it." And without waiting for the people to speak of the plague, he carried Amber out, and when he heard that the plague was not serious and would soon be cured, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and rejoiced again.
This paddy field, half deceived and half bought by Zhang Dahu, has been three or four years, and now it has finally returned to the hands of his own village, although it is not the original, every family has two acres, but it is better than falling into the hands of outsiders, besides, the Zhao family has always been benevolent, that is, the tenant to the village people, the rent will not be too harsh.
Everyone stood in one place and talked and laughed, both young and old were sincerely happy for the Zhao family, Zhao Fengnian called Caiyun over, and told her to go home to explain what Zhang Dahe had eaten when he entered the city, and set up a few tables of wine and banquets in the evening to celebrate with the villagers.
This paddy field is at the edge of the village, no matter the spring planting and autumn harvest, there will be no shortage of helpers from the villagers, Rui Xue naturally understands this truth, smiled and added two sentences, remember to go to the old store of the Wu family, bring a few more jars of good wine back, and the delicious food there is also more "wine bite", so that everyone can taste fresh.
Everyone waved their hands and said no, but their eyes were full of smiles, and they were joking, and everyone dispersed, went home and called their respective daughters-in-law or old women, and went to Zhao's house in the afternoon to help with the handle.
The Zhao family now has enough manpower in the workshop, and they will use the help of the villagers wherever they set up a few tables of wine banquets, but Rui Xue has never refused, this is also a good opportunity to get along with the people in the village, it is much better than being high up and making people fearful.
