"Hey! Big brother, I really let you guess! Sure enough, it's Xiaocao, that girl is back!! Where did the old man still care about playing chess, took a big stride, and flicked his arms to meet him.

The sixty-year-old man who was playing chess with Lao Yutou said hesitantly: "Lichun, Yu Xiaocao is already the county lord, should we kneel to greet him?" ”

Yu Lichun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaocao's girl is the most benevolent and righteous, so she won't put this score!" She is the county lord again, and she also went out from our Dongshan Village, and she is also the descendant of our Yu family......"

Before he could finish speaking, the carriage had stopped under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village. Wearing a pink flag suit and a silver mink cloak, the little girl with a delicate and cute appearance jumped out of the car. The old people who were chattering at the entrance of the village had their eyes wide open.

This is Yu Xiaocao, the granddaughter of the old Yu Tou's family? The little girl who was as thin as a cat and was repeatedly suspected of not being able to raise her? It's only been half a year since I went to the capital, and I almost can't recognize it. This fine satin cloth shines in the sun, and people's eyes can't be opened. There is also this pretty little appearance, and the style of the whole body, even in Tang Ancient Town, it is difficult to find a comparable one.

If you don't say it's the girl of the old Yu family, it's still the daughter of the high-ranking family! The last two are her girls, right? The maids of other people's houses are much more delicate than the daughters of the rich lord's family in the town!

"Grandpa, grandpa, Grandpa Li...... What about you in the sun? Yu Xiaocao greeted everyone present affectionately, without the slightest arrogance after the change of identity.

Lao Li Tou, the sixty-year-old man just mentioned, showed a slightly restrained smile on his black and red face, rubbed his hands, and said, "It's not! The sun is shining today...... Xiaocao, are you back from Kyori? ”

Yu Xiaocao nodded, and just wanted to answer his question, but Aunt Yangfan intercepted the conversation: "Xiaocao, are you here to pick up your grandfather and father and mother back to Beijing for the New Year?" Sure enough, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, since the head injury healed five years ago, Xiaocao's luck has been getting better and better. First, he saved people's lives and gave precious recipes. He also showed extraordinary skills in farming. No, she became the first woman in the world. Gee...... was also named the county lord and rewarded the big mansion! Xiaocao, this girl, is a blessed one!! ”

"Aunt Yangfan, thank you so much when you think about it! If you hadn't found me injured in time, I don't know if I could have been saved! Auntie, I brought a snack from the famous Daohua Village in Beijing, you can take it and try it! ”

Before Yu Xiaocao's words fell, the sycamore behind him went to the car with a box of delicately packaged dim sum - a wood-carved box, decorated with exquisite patterns, which looked very classy.

Where has Aunt Yang Fan ever seen such a beautiful box? The dim sum in it must be quite expensive, she hurriedly shook her hand and said: "Folks, no matter who encounters such a thing, they will help." Take back the snacks quickly, my aunt can't ask for them! ”

"Auntie, just take it! Not to mention that you saved my life, just say that you get along with my mother like sisters, and eat a box of snacks from your niece, why can't you be it? Yu Xiaocao turned around and took the snack box and stuffed it into Aunt Yangfan's hand.

Lao Yutou looked at it with a smile, and also said: "Yangfan daughter-in-law, Xiaocao gave it to you, you can take it, a box of snacks is just worth a few dollars." ”

The villagers present all looked at this box of snacks with some greed, and they felt a little emotional. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that three years ago, Lao Yutou was managed to death by Zhang's mother-in-law, and the home with a copper plate in his hand was not appropriate. Now, after being picked up by his second son, he has no shortage of food or clothing, and he also pays a lot of silver every month for him to spend. In the past, a white steamed bun had no right to give it away, but now this box of dim sum that seems to be worth a lot of money is not worth a few dollars in his mouth. This man, when the blessing comes, nothing can stop it!

"Grandpa, are you okay? I have prepared a New Year's gift for you, you can't take it, I'll send it to you later! Yu Xiaocao said affectionately to Yu Lichun, who was standing next to her with a kind smile and looking at her.

Yu Lichun said with a smile: "There is nothing missing at home, what are you doing with it...... The third child, Xiaocao has worked hard all the way, I guess I haven't had time to eat lunch yet, so hurry up and take her home...... After your new house was repaired, Xiaocao hasn't come back yet! Show her your new house! ”

Saying this, Yu Lichun was still very happy in his heart. Xiaocao, this girl, is a person who knows gratitude. His family just took out some extra money to treat her when she was sick, and she remembered it deeply.

After the family went out, her family's life got better and better, and she never left behind to send things to their family during the New Year's holidays. The business is up, and he doesn't forget to pull his family Yujiang and Yuxi to make money together. Now, their family is not only in charge of the Zhou family's purchase of seafood in nearby villages, but also grows watermelons on their land, which are exported to several nearby state capitals!

Today, their family is the second richest family in the village. This is all because of the care of the Xiaocao family!

Yu Xiaocao has always treated his grandfather as if he was his own grandfather, holding his hand and saying a few homely words, until his stomach growled, and he was urged to go home by Yu Lichun. She said: "Grandpa, after I have eaten for a while, I will go to your house to kowtow to you and worship your early years......"

Yu Xiaocao stopped riding the carriage anymore and walked on the familiar path in the village. Behind her was the carriage she was riding, and five carriages loaded with the specialties of the city. Looking at these carriages, the villagers whispered.

"Lao Yu's family, this is really developed! These five carts of things alone can't be purchased without a few hundred taels of silver! Xiaocao, this girl, her hands are quite loose! It is estimated that the money in the past half a year has been spent on these! ”

"What do you say! Is the grass a person who lives by just pointing at Yulu? I heard that there is still a braised vegetable shop in Beijing, which was opened in partnership with a nobleman. Just dividends, how many truckloads of goods can't be bought? ”

"The one riding on the horse next to the carriage is the king of Yangjun! How big is Xiaocao's face, let King Yangjun personally escort her! I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to her farming skills. That's true! ”

"Sister-in-law! You don't know yet, do you? The grass is back! Brought a lot of good stuff back. The girl was generous, and as soon as they met, she gave Yangfan's daughter-in-law a box of snacks from the capital. That box of dim sum alone must be worth a few taels of silver, not to mention the dim sum inside! Your family has such an iron relationship with the sea, and your daughter is close to Xiaocao, so she will definitely be able to get a lot of good things in Beijing! ”

"I really envy you guys who are good friends with the Yu family, you are too far-sighted! Those truckloads of goods in Beijing, we can't buy them with money here! I don't know, do you have the opportunity to go to the capital in this life and feel the atmosphere of the imperial city......"

……

Xiaocao didn't know that his return had made the villagers in Dongshan Village have a lot of topics to talk about after dinner. Her feeling at this time was that Dongshan Village was familiar and unfamiliar. Dongshan Village has changed a lot in the past six months. Some of the houses that were previously destroyed by the Japanese were rebuilt on the original site, and some were rebuilt on a new homestead.

When the Japanese invaded, due to the early warning of Xiaocao, Dongshan Village did not suffer much loss in terms of property. Coupled with the subsidy of the king of Youyang County, the people in the village discussed, even if the family was a little more difficult, they gritted their teeth and built a blue brick house.

A cluster of new blue brick houses, a large stone courtyard, and a brand new wooden door...... The whole village seemed familiar and strange at the same time. Lao Yutou introduced on the side: "Our Dongshan Village has become the most enviable and wealthy village in the nearby Ten Miles and Eight Villages!" Not to mention anything else, where can I find a second village, just like our Dongshan Village, all of which are blue bricks and big tile houses? ”

Not only that, but because the business of the Yu family's braised vegetable shop in Fucheng is becoming more and more prosperous, three branches have been opened. The number of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs needed every day is considerable, and it is really not enough to supply just pointing to the pig farm of the Yu family.

Now, every family in Dongshan Village raises a few pigs, a group of chickens and ducks, and some even raise hundreds of chickens and ducks at the foot of the mountain, just like Liu Xuanzhu's family. Anyway, no matter how much you raise, you don't have to worry about selling! Not only the Yu family, but also the Zhou family's roast duck and roast chicken sales are quite impressive, and these two are giving priority to the business of Dongshan Village! Compared with previous years, the income is more than ten times higher than that of relying on the sky to eat, or going to the sea to fish!

As long as there are diligent people in the village, every family has extra money! The young men in the village don't worry about marrying their daughters-in-law at all, and the daughters from other villages are waiting in line. The daughters of Dongshan Village, because of the rich dowry, the threshold of the family is about to be broken!! In short, Dongshan Village, whether it is a descendant or a daughter, does not worry about marrying or marrying.

The new atmosphere of Dongshan Village is naturally inseparable from the credit of the Yu family! When Yu Xiaocao came to his yard, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This...... This is their yard? The vermilion gate has golden copper nails on it, two mighty stone lions more than one person high in front of the door, the red and yellow glazed tile roof on the door, and high cornices on both sides! The courtyard wall is high, made of cyan bricks, and the top of the wall is also repaired with glazed tiles, and from the outside, it looks like those high-ranking houses in Beijing!

Inside is a typical three-in, three-out large courtyard, if it weren't for Yu Hai to stop it, it is estimated that the people sent by the King of Yangjun would be able to build him with five entrances! Most of the houses in the countryside have a large courtyard at the entrance, with three or five main houses facing the door, and the left and right side houses are partial to the east and west. Where is there such a complicated yard, the big yard is set with a small yard, and the small yard is connected to other yards.

When the Yu family's house was first built, the women in the village said with an exaggeration: "With such a big yard, you almost get lost when you go in!" ”

However, the only thing that can distinguish it from the big mansions in the city is that every courtyard and open space in the capital are planted with elegant flowers and plants. And the courtyard of the Yu family is all planted with vegetables! At this time, it was the middle of winter, and most of the vegetable patches in the yard were deserted, only the location of the back garden, and a simple greenhouse was made, in which the vegetables for home consumption were grown.
