Chapter 104: The First Step of Xanadu
"Then go... Dasheng is so big. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info may not be able to walk all the roads in a lifetime. But you can see a different scenery every day. It's so exciting to think about!" Zhou Jiulang encouraged her with interest.
Nie Xiaofan looked at Zhou Jiulang, who was still naΓ―ve, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
To be honest, Nie Xiaofan's fate in this life is already destined to be on track. Marry Zhou Jiulang, and then live in the land of the back house for the rest of your life. So now, she wants to make this place a paradise, so that at least she can live happily.
Maybe in the future in the inner house, she can live a little more wanton than others. But her heaven can only be square from now on. So now Zhou Jiulang actually agreed with her to go out to surf... No, go out and play.
She doesn't know how to describe this mood. was just like the white-collar workers in the past, shouting poetry and distance every day, but in the end he plunged into the front of him. Now he suddenly has the support of relatives and friends: "You go play... The world is so big, go and see it!"
The temptation is simply not too great!
"You're not kidding, are you?" Nie Xiaofan couldn't believe it.
Zhou Jiulang said: "I'm serious! But it's really dangerous for a girl to go out to play!"
Nie Xiaofan was deflated all of a sudden, look, the reason is here.
"But..."Zhou Jiulang touched his chin with his hand, pretending to think, and then said excitedly: "I can go with you! I can protect you!"
Nie Xiaofan only felt a group of crows flying overhead: You obviously want to go out and play by yourself, right?
As they spoke, someone recognized them. Two elderly women came up to greet them: "Oops... Girl, why are you here? Hurry up, sit in the house. β
Several people pushed and pulled, and invited the two of them to sit at home very enthusiastically.
Nie Xiaofan was fine, she smiled and said, "The recent autumn harvest, let's see how your harvest is." β
Zhou Jiulang twisted his handsome eyebrows, he was not used to the enthusiasm of these old women.
A few people sat down in the hut, this house should be the largest in the whole village, so they were relieved to entertain them. However, because of the large number of people in the family, the house still looks cramped.
When Nie Xiaofan saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the hard work of farming.
The two children brought two bowls of hot water, Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Jiulang politely accepted them, and put them on the table at hand.
The old woman sitting opposite said, "There is no tea set at home, the girl and the young master will drink a bowl of water..."
Nie Xiaofan thanked him, and really talked about farming with a few old people.
An old woman said: "Last year, the flood and the harvest were not good, and the girl was kind enough to waive half a year's rent. Thank you very much. This year... There has been some drought this year... But don't worry, the rent will be paid on time..."
Nie Xiaofan was a little stunned, did he dare to think that she was here to urge rent? But what happened to the rent-free thing last year?
Nie Xiaofan thought for a while before remembering that last year, the original owner was painting in the viewing room, and Zhou Zhuangtou said back and forth that there was a lot of rain this year, and the tenants' fields were flooded. The original owner was kind-hearted, and even if he exempted the tenant from half a year's rent.
She didn't take it to heart, and then forgot about it. It is also very vague in memory, but now it seems that the original owner gave great grace to the farmers.
Nie Xiaofan asked about the income of the fruit forest again, and the old lady smiled and said: "This year's fruit is good, Zhou Zhuangtou brought a fruit merchant to collect dates and mulberries yesterday." I said I'd come back in two days to receive the next batch..."
"It's the day of the harvest, it's strange that the old man is so happy..."Nie Xiaofan quipped, and the room laughed.
Zhou Jiulang was a little unaccustomed to it, he felt that such a Nie Xiaofan was a little difficult for him to see. I thought she had just said that it was polite to come to see the harvest, but I didn't expect her to really ask in detail.
Is it really because it grows in the mountains?
This kind of her is a little different from ordinary girls, but it is also a lot more interesting.
Zhou Jiulang looked at Nie Xiaofan carefully, she was dressed in plain clothes, and she was very kind when talking to people. I don't think I'm proud of my status. It's no wonder that the farmers here are kind to her.
"Speaking of which, why is the female devil beside the girl missing?" an old man suddenly asked. The people around her were busy dragging her clothes with their hands. Another old lady hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, girl, this Li Er's family is open-mouthed..."
Nie Xiaofan said that it was okay, but he beat a drum in his heart: She said that the female devil, could it be that Zhou Qiaoqiao was just what Zhou Qiaoqiao did. Let these people call her the devil?
Zhou Jiulang was also very curious about the story of the female devil.
Nie Xiaofan asked again: "How many families are there on the other side of the depression, did the water affect it last year?"
"Why not?" said Li Erjia's busy, "My niece's house is there, and the flood was serious for a few days last year. Their house is flooded..."
"In that case, I see that there are still two families living over there, why don't they move out?"
Everyone stopped, this girl really doesn't understand the suffering of the world, this move has to find a homestead, building a new house manpower and material resources are laborious, floods are not every year, but the delay in farming, that's terrible...
When Nie Xiaofan saw that they were embarrassed, he knew that this matter was not easy to do. So he said: "That place Zhuangzi will be requisitioned, if they want to move, go to Zhou Zhuangtou, and Zhou Zhuangtou will be responsible for the cost of the new home."
Wait, the girl wants to help the people in the village move?
Did you hear that right?
Besides, what is the purpose of the requisitioned land?
In the midst of a group of people's questions, Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Jiulang walked out of the farmer's household. The women did not know what they meant, and did not dare to stay.
Nie Xiaofan just felt that he knew everything he should know, and if he stayed any longer, it would only cause endless speculation among these people. It's not beautiful.
After saying goodbye to these people, the two left the village. Zhou Qiaoqiao was not in the original place, the two looked for a while, and she dug a bird's nest in a tree not far away...
Digging a bird's nest...
Nie Xiaofan was speechless, Sister Qiaoqiao, can we not be so noisy?
Zhou Qiaoqiao fell down the tree with a whoosh, with a bird's egg in his hand. She took care of it.
Before he got closer, Zhou Jiulang said loudly: "You female devil, tell me how many things you have done to bully men and women? The whole Zhuangzi people talk about your perversion!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao glanced at him, Nie Xiaofan hit Zhou Jiulang with his elbow, and stepped forward with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, you dig out the bird's nest again today!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled: "I used to dig birds' nests, and I often think it's unfortunate that you can't dig birds' nests." Now it seems that you, the one who doesn't dig the bird's nest, are more leisurely. β
Nie Xiaofan smiled and said softly: "The days always have to pass day by day, and leisure has nothing to do with whether or not you can dig a bird's nest." Coincidentally, you're thinking too much. She said and approached Zhou Qiaoqiao again, and whispered, "Qiaoqiao, you promised me." We don't want those bad things in Changping, okay?"

A few people got on the horse and returned to the courtyard, Nie Xiaofan looked at the grass and trees here, and said, "I want to make this a paradise!" (To be continued.) )
