Chapter 71: Why don't you mess around with her?
Zhou Mu felt embarrassed, and only by leaving could he feel better.
"I brought you the roast duck, you remember to eat it."
Zhou Mu turned around and wanted to leave, but this time Su Cheng caught him.
"Don't go yet!"
Zhou Mu's eyes lit up, and she kept herself.
He seemed to be injected with energy again, and said happily: "Anything else? ”
Su Cheng lowered his sleeves and said, "You have a lot of doors, do you know who has land in their hands to buy?" ”
Zhou Mu was stunned, "That's it?" ”
He also thought that Ah Cheng had something important to say when he grabbed him.
After all, he thought too much.
Su Cheng said: "This is very important to me, I need a piece of land that has not been cultivated, I want to farm." ”
There was no land left in the village, so she bought it from others.
As long as the yield of hybrid rice can be proven, there will definitely be no worries about food and clothing in the coming year.
Chen Ci glanced at her, and it seemed that she hadn't let go of the matter yet.
Zhou Mu scratched his hair: "My father is in charge of the farm shop at home, I don't know much about it." But if you want to know, I can go back and ask my dad. ”
Ask his dad?
Master Zhou was also very dissatisfied with her since he knew that Zhou Mu treated her unusually, otherwise he would not have let Lu Xiyue drive her away.
If Master Zhou knew that his son had come all the way to find him, it would be good not to confine Zhou Mu away.
"Forget it, I'll ask someone else." There was nothing to inquire about, Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't leave him for a moment: "Let's go, be careful on the road." ”
"Huh??"
Zhou Mu looked shocked, Sister Ah Cheng really didn't keep him anymore?
She seemed to love me for a short time.
"Let you go, you'll go." Chen Ci grabbed his shoulders and dragged Zhou Mulian out of Chen's house, "Brother-in-law will send you to the carriage!" ”
was forcibly stuffed into the carriage, Zhou Mu was still not convinced, and leaned out again and said to Chen Ci: "You wait, I will come back." Also, don't expect me to call you brother-in-law when there is no one else! ”
She resolutely can't give this man a chance to kick his nose in the face!
"Xiaowu, let's go!"
Xiao Wu immediately jumped into the carriage and left Qingyuan Village with Zhou Mu.
In the next few days, Su Cheng was in a hurry to buy land, and she met the village chief and the lieutenant chief successively, but she didn't know anyone who was willing to buy land.
Land is the life of the peasants, and now is not a year of famine, so of course there are few people willing to sell land.
But this made Su Cheng anxious.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without land, even if she has the ability, she has no place to use it.
That afternoon, Chen Xi came back from outside. Sweat soaked his clothes, and Chen Xi opened his mouth to drink two large bowls of water.
Thinking about it carefully, she has been busy looking for land in the past two days, and Chen Xi doesn't seem to be at home.
He must have done some kind of tiring work like this.
Su Cheng asked, "Where have you been, sweating profusely." ”
"Lao He came back just now, change into clothes that are easy to walk, and I'll show you something."
Su Cheng quickly changed his clothes and followed Chen Ci up the mountain.
She hadn't walked this mountain road, and Su Cheng was puzzled: "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
"It'll be there in a moment."
Downhill, he reached out and helped Su Cheng.
Turning a corner, a terraced field appeared in front of Su Cheng's eyes. That field is not small, and the upper and lower terraces together are almost two acres.
Su Cheng: "This is ......"
"Didn't you clamore for planting grain, and I found you this land. According to you, it has not been cultivated. Although the plough is now a little late, if you want to try planting, this field should be enough. ”
Chen Ci looked at the rice field under her feet and said casually, as if this matter was just a trivial matter to her. But Su Cheng looked at him for a long time.
"Do you remember everything?"
Chen Xi turned to look at her: "Isn't that what you want?" ”
He didn't remember, did he ask Cheng Niang to find the kid surnamed Zhou for help?
What can a person who only knows how to rely on her family do for her?
Su Cheng said with a smile: "But I looked for the village chief and the lieutenant chief some time ago, and they all said that there is no extra land, where did you find this land?" ”
"There was an old farmer living in the alley at the end of the village, and I remember that his family had a field. However, as he got older, he gradually couldn't do farm work, and the children at home were not around, so I saw that he didn't seem to have brought tools up the mountain to plow the fields this year, so I went to his house to ask when I had time. ”
Su Cheng said, "But how can he give us his land?" Don't you have no extra money to buy land? ”
Chen Xi: "I discussed with the old farmer, and this land will be planted for us. When there is a harvest in the autumn, just give him 200 catties of grain as money for renting land. ”
Originally, he didn't plant this land, so the old farmer didn't lose anything, of course.
Speaking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but purse his lips, "That old man is very calculating, and before he promised to give us the land, he asked me to help him chop the remaining firewood in the yard, and the firewood in the yard chopped me for a full hour." ”
I'm afraid that the firewood he will use for half a year has been chopped for himself!
Su Cheng remembered the sweaty way he looked when he came back at noon, "You went to chop wood at that time?" ”
Chen Ci: "Yes. ”
"Poof......
Su Cheng covered his mouth and laughed. Although he doesn't say anything about love, he is very practical in his way of being kind to people. Clumsy and sincere.
Chen Xi glared at her dissatisfied: "Are you still smiling?" Who am I like this? ”
Little without conscience!
Su Cheng coaxed: "I know that you are hard, so what do you want, will I repay you?" ”
"......Shh Everything is so clear, what kind of husband and wife? ”
She wanted to reciprocate and make their boundaries clear, but he didn't give Cheng Niang this chance.
He just wants to make Cheng Niang feel good and make Cheng Niang feel that he owes him.
Su Cheng said seriously: "Then I'll make you something delicious tonight!" ”
Chen Xi came up to her and said, "You have to make food for me every day." ”
Chen Ci found a piece of land for Su Cheng to grow food soon spread throughout the village, since ancient times it has been an established thing for men to cultivate and women to weave, and now Su Cheng is clamoring to farm, which really surprised the people in the village.
At noon that day, even Zhao Shengcai next door came to Chen's house.
"Lao Chen! I heard that you found a piece of land for Cheng Niang? ”
Chen Ci, who was pulled to the side, glanced back at Su Cheng, who was playing with Chen Yuanren to pick up stones, and said with a smile: "That's the case." ”
Zhao Shengcai's face suddenly sank a little: "I have always thought that you are a stable person, why did you follow her this time?" ”
"Nonsense?" Chen Ci smiled: "I don't think it's nonsense. ”
"Cheng Niang said that there are new seeds that can grow high-yield food, she rarely wants to do one thing so much, I am her father-in-law, shouldn't I accompany her to do this?"
Zhao Shengcai was shocked: "She said you just believe it??" ”
Chen Xi asked rhetorically: "I still can't believe my lady?" ”
Zhao Shengcai said: "Since ancient times, farming has been a man's business, how much can she understand? And she doesn't even know how much grain one acre of land can produce, so you directly take two acres of land for her to plant. What will you do if you don't get a grain this fall? ”
Chen Ci's family is good to them, and he doesn't want Chen Ci to follow Cheng Niang to make detours!
Zhao Shengcai said: "I heard that when you chartered that piece of land, you also promised to pay back hundreds of catties of grain to the old farmers, and when the time comes, your own food will not be enough, and you will have to subsidize the old farmers, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”
