Lin Hu seemed to have expected him to say this, and almost as soon as Shen Jingcheng raised a question, he gave the answer: "Don't worry, there are ten miles long, one rotation every year, and the county will arrange for you to take turns again in a few years, and you will be older at that time." ”

Gu Jin: Why do you want to do this? Isn't it good to re-elect someone to be the leader?

Shen Jingcheng: What do you want to do if you don't give a position a right?

"My family is now just me and my daughter-in-law, which can be regarded as a lonely widow, and I don't meet the conditions for being the mayor." Shen Jingcheng tried hard to think about the conditions needed to be the lieutenant governor, and wanted to refuse.

"A lonely widow is an orphan and a widow, and you are not fatherless and motherless, but you are not a widow or orphan from the place where your parents immigrated." Lin Hu retorted with a smile.

"Then I don't meet the conditions for more food, I'm the only man in my family." Shen Jingcheng continued to find a reason.

"Although there are not many men in your family, you have a lot of land, and in terms of your family's more than 60 acres of land, the original ones are not as good as you." Lin Hu dismissed it again.

Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng looked at each other when they were refuted.

I knew that I wouldn't have opened so much land, the money was gone, and I didn't know what the harvest would be, but the errand arranged by the government came first, isn't it fatal?

"Do a good job, our magistrate is very optimistic about you." Lin Hu patted him on the shoulder and left, and after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and said to Shen Jingcheng: "Oh yes, there are less than two first-class in your village, and the first head of ten of them is Gu Changping, I have already told him, the remaining four households are in charge of it for the time being, and then you will choose the first leader when you make up enough households in the future." Also, the Lizheng Village, which is on duty this year, has not been lightly affected, and it is not under your control for the time being, and all the affairs of your village are also managed by you for the time being. ”

After Lin Hu said this, he really left, and the speed was as fast as if there was something chasing behind.

Shen Jingcheng finally understood what this person meant when he heard this.

After making trouble for a long time, the co-author wants to hand over the disaster-stricken families in the village to himself? How can the abacus be so fine?

Shen Jingcheng looked at Gu Jin speechlessly, Gu Jin didn't know what to say, and only called out faintly after a long time: "Elder Li? ”

Shen Jingcheng laughed at her call, and opened his mouth to shout: "Mrs. Lichang? ”

With a 'Mrs. Lichang', Gu Jin only felt that his cold hairs stood on end, rubbed the goosebumps on his body and said, "Don't scream, I'm panicking." ”

Shen Jingcheng wanted to laugh at her appearance, but he still pretended to be innocent: "You called me first." ”

Gu Jin grinned, but he still couldn't figure it out, and asked him suspiciously: "You say, why did the county let you be the governor?" Even if our family has more land, you are still a child after all, how can there be a nine-year-old child in this world? ”

"Keep an eye on our crops." Shen Jingcheng told her little by little what he thought of.

"Although the river has receded now, I have heard that it is not only our village that has been flooded, but all the crops along the river in the county have basically been flooded, which means that many families will have no harvest this year, and it is a problem for these families to survive in the winter, and it will be a problem to plant the land in the spring next year. And at this time, we and the Gu family happen to have so much land, but the crops are still growing well, but we don't have to pay taxes now, the county at this time let me be the lizheng, and hand over the affairs of the whole village to me to manage, probably because they want us to support these people, right? ”

Gu Jin's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "This is too shameless, right?" No one cared about us when we came, and they wanted us to take care of others when something happened? ”

"What's the solution? The prefect who destroyed the door broke the county order, no matter what people say, we ordinary people can only do it. What's more, now the county has also given me a decent errand, and now we have to manage it, no matter what. Shen Jingcheng said very helplessly.

In this world, only the family business has no ability, and anyone can come and pinch you.

Gu Jin was depressed when she heard this, the Song family was just an ordinary household before, she had never faced such a thing, she thought that as long as she and Shen Jingcheng worked hard, they would definitely be able to live better and better in the future, but now it seems that it is not so simple to live well.

"It's fine." Shen Jingcheng frowned again when he saw her worried, hugged her to the side of the kang and sat down, stood in front of her and tried his best to comfort her: "Don't worry, it's a big deal to let these people work for us like tall and strong, and give us food according to how much work they do, and we will open up more wasteland to plant winter wheat, and there will be no loss." ”

"Then I'm angry too." Gu Jin was still angry, and suddenly raised his head and said to him: "Husband, I'll provide you with a study, you go to the test for fame, even if it's just a child, those people don't dare to bully us like this." ”

She remembered that Song Lao Er was like this at that time, just after taking the test as a child, no one in the whole village dared to mess with their family, and the county magistrate personally sent someone to give gifts, and even if she was angry in the Song family, no one dared to gossip about her when she went out.

Shen Jingcheng paused when he heard this, then nodded, and said softly: "Okay, let's study, but I'm afraid this year's situation won't work, next year, if the situation allows next year, I'll go to study." ”

In fact, he was not worried that Gu Jin was alone at home, she was still too young, and it was not good to live alone in the village. He wanted to wait until conditions permitted, rent a house or buy a house near the school, and then take her to study with him.

Gu Jin didn't know Shen Jingcheng's plans, but he knew that this year's situation was indeed enough, exchanging grain for work, even if he had more than 60 acres of crops in his own family, and the whole village would have a point, he didn't know what he could have left, so he could only wait for next year's grain harvest.

What's more, even if Shen Jingcheng reads, he may not be able to get famous, haven't you seen so many people who can't pass the exam? It's that she's too anxious.

For the words blurted out just now, Gu Jin felt a little guilty, leaned forward and leaned his head against his chest and said sullenly: "I'm sorry, I was a little angry just now, and I didn't care about what I said, you don't have pressure to study, it's good to be able to get in, and it's okay if you can't pass the test." ”

"Okay." Shen Jingcheng gently hugged her into his arms, but his eyes were full of determination.

If he had the opportunity, he would definitely take the test, even if it was to prevent people from taking it casually, he would take the test and try his best to take the test.

It's just that although the two of them talked so much and expected so much, those who were flooded never came to the door.

A day, two days, a month later, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng felt that maybe they were thinking too much, those people might still have food in stock, and there was no need for them to worry about this at all.

However, not long after the two of them were relieved, the peanuts in the field were about to be harvested, and the cotton in the field began to turn white, when eight or nine crop men suddenly came to the door.

"Little Chief, you see that the crops in your field are almost ripe, and Yang Shi and Gao Dazhuang may not be busy, do you want more people to help you harvest the crops? We don't want to be paid, you just need to give us some food. The man who took the lead asked with little confidence.

Looking at a few people, although Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin were a little surprised, they also had a feeling that the dust had settled, and they generously said the conditions that had been set a long time ago.

These people came over just to try, but they didn't expect it to be possible, so they quickly nodded and agreed.

For them, the flooding of crops is distressing, but more importantly, they have no grain, seeing that this year is already no harvest, and there is no copper plate in their hands, if they don't want to get some grain, next year they will have land and can only look at the planting.

Now that Shen Jingcheng is willing to promise to give food when he works, it is undoubtedly great news for them.

They have seen it, and the crops in Shen Jingcheng's fields are growing very well, and almost all of them can be retained.

The autumn harvest began on this day, peanuts, cotton, soybeans, sorghum, millet, piles of grains full of grains, were successively transported to the house of the two, when the autumn wind became cooler and the cold wind rose, these grains were distributed to each household little by little.

After everything was completed, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng looked at the little grain left in the house except for the seeds, and the more than 100 acres of winter wheat land deed in their hands, and breathed a long sigh at the same time.

Sixty acres of grain were exchanged for more than 100 acres of land deeds, which can be regarded as a loss and a gain.
