It's just that when Liu Man'er said that she wanted to plant water chestnuts, Fang's family was a little unhappy, in her eyes, farmers should plant grain well, not rice, why plant these messes?

Liu Man'er didn't think of this before, anyway, in her eyes, she just bought this rice, she didn't have to plant it herself, she felt that it was not cost-effective to plant this rice, and it was more convenient for her to buy other people's rice.

It's also that she is not an authentic farmer, there is no such peasant plot, but if the Fang clan didn't agree at first, she wouldn't have thought of planting these, but at this time, she already wanted to plant water chestnuts and water chestnuts very much.

During this time, she had already rehearsed the details of planting water chestnuts and water chestnuts in her heart, and she also saw these two planting methods in the book "Qi Min Yaoshu", so these days, she also wrote a plan, when to raise buds, when to sow seeds, and when to transplant She has thought about it, and now Fang's family doesn't want to plant, so how can she do it.

In her opinion, there are relatively few people who plant these two things, because this has to be planted in paddy fields, and the countrymen, who is willing to waste paddy fields to grow these? So, this is her chance, and it will definitely be more cost-effective to grow this water chestnut than to grow rice, and it will be easier than planting rice.

But, the problem is, she has no land now.

If there was no food at all, the Fang family might not be happy, Liu Man'er thought about it, and asked Ye Yuan to ask around who had land to sell.

It's been a year, and it's time to buy a piece of land to reward yourself, and it can be regarded as a commemoration of your life in the past year.

At this time, it is already a time when there is no green and yellow, and many villagers live by eating sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, but Liu Man'er's family does not have to worry about these this year, they have already stocked up on food last winter and have food to eat every day.

But because of this, at this time, some people sold their fields, and Ye Yuan found Qiao Yuliang, a broker in the town, and entrusted this matter to him.

In the case of this paddy field, one acre of land costs five to eight taels of silver, and Liu Man'er doesn't have much money in her hands now, so she decided to buy two acres first, and with the rest of the money, she plans to buy some chickens and ducks to feed.

Last year, although there were small workshops and these preserved eggs, braised eggs, hunting and selling rabbits and other bits and pieces of money were also considered to have made some money, but these houses were basically spent, and they have been buying trees and digging ponds, which have spent a lot of money, and a lot of money has been spent on the New Year.

Now she only has more than 20 taels of silver left in her hand, and the original plan was that she planned to save some more money and then buy a shop to do business, but now it can be regarded as to please the Fang family, so she will buy two acres of land first.

It's still very good to buy land, after all, land is real estate, land is grain, this era is full of too many uncertainties, Liu Man'er also wants to buy some land, but it's just a priority.

Knowing that Liu Man'er said that she wanted to buy land, the Fang family was also very happy, and she raised her hands in favor of this matter.

A few days later, this Qiao Yuliang came to Liu Man'er's house, saying that there was news of this field, and there were two pieces of land, one was from the next village and the other was from this village.

There is an old man's son in the next village who was admitted to Xiucai, and now he is a private school in the town, but this person goes to a high place, and the old man's son wants to use money to dredge up the relationship, hoping to go to the county seat to be a petty official, so the old man is ready to sell the land.

As for this Dawan Village, it is a family surnamed Liu who wants to sell their fields, they were originally from other places, because they were hiding from the war, they had no choice but to come here, bought the land and took root for decades, and now the owner of this family is old, and suddenly wants to return to the roots.

Liu Man'er is naturally inclined to Dawan Village, after all, it is a village, and it is more convenient, so the head of the house asked Qiao Yuliang to lead everyone to take a look.

This field is good, it is a medium paddy field, this old man's bid is six taels of silver per mu, Liu Man'er thinks that this price is quite suitable, and after asking Ye Yuan and asking Fang's opinion, everyone decided to buy this field.

It's just a measure of this land, there are three acres, Liu Man'er originally planned to buy only two acres of land, but this is a whole piece, Uncle Liu is also troublesome, and said that if you want to buy it, you will buy it together.

If you buy this land, you won't have any money, but you think that you're making money every day anyway, so it's better to buy it.

When she first came last year, she didn't have a penny at home, so she still came over like this, not to mention that the conditions at home are much better now than last year.

The clapper bought the land, paid the money with one hand and the land deed with the other, and gave two taels of silver to Qiao Yuliang as a Chinese fee, invited him to dinner, and asked him to help go to the county seat to file a case and report, even if the matter of buying the land was decided like this.

Now that she has a field, Liu Man'er is still very happy, so that she can grow her favorite water chestnuts and water chestnuts in the original acre of land at home.

It's just that this has a field is also a trouble, Xinduo three acres of fields, Liu Man'er doesn't want to plant rice, last year's one acre of land will make her tired enough, this year she really doesn't want to work in the field.

But if she doesn't work and is afraid of people saying that, unless no one in the family does it, Liu Man'er thought about it, so she planned to plant this field for the helper.

This time she learned to be smart, she didn't say it herself, and asked Ye Yuan to tell the Fang family.

After eating that day, everyone was roasting the fire in the house together, Ye Yuan said straight to the point: "Mother, who do you think we are good to plant here?" ”

"What did you say?" When Fang heard Ye Yuan's words at first glance, he thought he had heard it wrong, "Who do you say we are giving this land to?" ”

"Yes." Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I may have other things to do this summer, so I'm afraid I don't have time to do the work in this field, the second brother is still young after all, and he has to be busy delivering food, and he doesn't have much energy to farm." ”

Ye Yuan said that he couldn't farm because of something, but the Fang family felt that their Zhuang family had just three acres of land, and there was really no need for others to farm for help.

So she was stunned, and after reacting, she said: "It's okay, Yuan'er, you can do something you want, and Man'er and I can still do farm work at home." ”

"Man'er had a miscarriage last year because of this, and she has to take care of so many rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep this year, which is too busy; Mother, although you are still young, we children really don't want you to do heavy work, and don't you still help with man'er braised eggs and preserved eggs? I also need Xiao Tianchen, and I need to trouble you to take care of it. ”

Although Ye Yuan doesn't talk much on weekdays, Fang has always heard his words, and this time Ye Yuan said this, which also reminded Fang of Liu Man'er's miscarriage last year, and he was also a little guilty, so he said, "Then let you be." ”

"So, who do you think this mercenary is better for?" Ye Yuan said again, "If you look at who is reliable in this village, you can pay whoever you want." ”

"It's not simple, just give Chunhua's family, she has a lot of family, it's just right." Fang said without hesitation.

"Okay, then, when will you come over and talk to her."

"Now." Fang Shi said and shouted outside, "Fulu, you help me call Aunt Chunhua." ”

Although she was busy with farming during this time, Chunhua was still working in Liu Man'er's small workshop, after all, she had many families, and there was no shortage of her, not to mention, she couldn't make so much money from farming.

The old mansion was not far from here, Aunt Chunhua came soon, and by the way, she also brought some sachets, Liu Man'er handed these sachets to Ye He, and then listened to Fang's talk to her about this matter.

Aunt Chunhua must be happy when she heard this, Fang said that if their family wants to serve seeds, they will give them fifty percent, and generally the landlord's land will only be forty percent of the harvest.

"Then I'm going to talk to my man and let him come and talk to you now." With such a good thing, Aunt Chunhua couldn't wait to go home, and in about a moment of incense, Aunt Chunhua's man came over.

Her man is also surnamed Ye, called Ye Changgen, in his forties, because Aunt Chunhua works in Ye Yuan's house, so he also knows about Ye Yuan's family's purchase of land, and he also knows that the land is indeed not bad, and fifty percent is also very good, so he agreed on the spot.

In their eyes, how much of this kind of land is not planted? It is a great thing that they can harvest more grain if they can grow more, but as for the fifty percent of the landlords who belong to other people's landlords, they don't care at all.

Liu Man'er knows the hardships of farming, which is actually quite sad, but she is not a philanthropist, and she is already less than the rent of the landlord's family.

After negotiating the matter of the maid's farming, Ye Yuan wrote a contract again, that is, according to what they had just negotiated, the three acres of land would be planted for his maid for two years for the time being, and fifty percent of the rent would be rented, and he would look at it after two years.

Ye Changgen knew the personality of Ye Yuan's family, and he was not afraid that Ye Yuan would deceive him and press his handprint on the spot, Ye Yuan put away the contract, and this matter was decided.

Settle the matter of this place, Fang Shi sighed, a little melancholy, although Liu Man'er didn't speak, but her heart was actually very happy, she really didn't want to farm, and now there was no shortage of money for farming, why should she suffer like this?

It's just that the Fang clan can't change now, and she should be fine in a few days.

Fortunately, this matter was brought up by Ye Yuan, otherwise, the Fang clan would definitely be dissatisfied with himself.

Liu Man'er paid great attention to Fang's emotions, she was afraid that she would have thoughts about herself, although she was very good to herself now, but she couldn't be too uninteresting, now she was no longer the stupid girl she used to be, many things, Liu Man'er gradually had some differences with Fang's family, Liu Man'er was very afraid that Fang's heart would gather resentful emotions.

In the past, although she was stupid, although she often jumped to the feet of the Fang family, but at that time, the Ye family, at least the Fang family had the final say, but now it is different, Liu Man'er has more and more power to speak at home, although every time she does something, she still has to ask for Fang's opinion, but this person will change, what if she is unhappy because of something?

The old man is like a child, she has to coax well, as long as she irons it in her heart, everything will be fine, the family and everything will be prosperous, and Liu Man'er does not want the Fang clan to come out to block her decision in the future.

After all, no matter how much you can, filial piety is as great as the sky in this dynasty, and your parents' orders cannot be violated.
