During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

Shen Qianning is quick at cooking and making soup.

By noon, they all take turns coming back to eat.

Seventeen big men were busy in the fields, and the speed was visible to the naked eye.

In addition, with the help of the threshing machine, it is much faster than the traditional beating by hand.

Shen Qianning put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the Yamen servant came on horseback.

The Yamen official said with a heavy expression: "Boss Shen, my lord was caught up in something today, so he won't be able to come to the village to deliver food tomorrow. Boss Chen also asked me to take the lead. He didn't find a carriage to transport food, so he can't come to the village until tomorrow. "

Shen Qianning frowned.

I had a feeling something was wrong.

He immediately asked: "Did something happen?"

The Yamen official hesitated for a moment, thinking about the relationship between Shen Qianning and County Magistrate Cui, and finally said the truth: "Something did happen. What Boss Shen reminded me before has come true. The brothers from the Yamen are scattered in various towns. Many of them are scattered in various towns." The village was robbed.”

Ya Chai's face looked ugly when he said this.

He didn't expect things to be so serious.

Shen Qianning knew there was chaos outside, but he didn't expect it would be so chaotic because of food.

Knowing that the government official was very busy, he said, "Go back and tell Magistrate Cui that the grain will be transported away tomorrow at the latest. I'm worried that I won't be able to hold on for a long time."

Her family has the best harvest, and she has probably calculated that one acre of land should produce seven to eight hundred kilograms of grain.

If she hadn't been afraid of being too conspicuous, so when she planted hybrid rice, she only planted half of it, maybe the harvest would have been better.

The official left.

Shen Qianning asked Xiao Dongchen to close the door and then went to the field.

Seeing that one-third of the land was missing, Shen Qianning felt that he would definitely be able to finish it tomorrow.

Xu Changhe and his brothers alternately stepped on the threshing machine.

Shen Qianning waved to Wang Mazi who was cutting grain.

Wang Mazi came over, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve and said, "What's wrong?"

Shen Qianning said seriously: "There are people from the next county in the woods outside the village. They have been waiting outside the village for many days just to grab food. You and your brothers don't want to go home tonight, just stay in the village. Tomorrow Boss Chen and People from the Yamen came to deliver the food."

When Wang Mazi heard this, he knew that the matter was serious.

He immediately asked: "How many people are here?"

Shen Qianning said seriously: "There are at least forty people, and it is very likely that their target is only my family."

Her family's more than ten acres of land is really eye-catching.

In addition, her millet harvest is good.

If she wants to rob, she will rob the family with the most harvest first.

Wang Mazi comforted him: "Don't worry, my brothers and I are not leaving tonight."

When it was getting dark, just as Shen Qianning thought, half of the field was beaten.

Just have another busy day tomorrow.

Dinner is still very rich.

Xu Changhe picked up a piece of meat and said while eating: "We have been working for so many years, and this is the first time we have met such a generous person as Boss Shen."

The steamed pork cooked by Shen Qianning is all in pieces as big as a palm.

Although it is very fat, for people who work, this kind of meat tastes the most enjoyable.

Wang Mazi and Xu Changhe also became familiar with each other.

He smiled and said, "That's not true. Boss Shen is a very kind man. I'm talking about Changhe! Have you and your brothers been helping others?"

After getting along with each other today, he really felt that Xu Changhe and his party were pretty good people.

Everyone is working hard.

Moreover, no one is cheating.

Xu Changhe said with a simple smile: "We have been helping others to work. We don't have much land at home. When the farming season is busy, the family can harvest the crops, so we go out to find things to do and earn money to support the family."

They are all honest and responsible people, and they don't know anything about cheating or cheating.

Doing work for every employer is like doing work for your own family.

Because of this, their business has been very good.

There is no shortage of work to do.

Wang Mazi thought for a moment and said, "If I ask you to work, how much will it cost per day?"

He has been planning to recruit people for the escort agency.

I found several people before coming here, but the wages they asked for were very high.

Moreover, the escort agency is not busy every day.

After careful calculation, I feel that it is not worth it.

Xu Changhe said honestly: "What we do is manual labor, and we usually pay 25 cents a day."

Wang Mazi smiled even brighter when he heard the 25 cents.

"That's just right. To be honest, we have a bodyguard agency in the county."

Xu Changhe immediately said: "Is it the Huwei Escort Agency?"

The only escort agency in Puxian County now is the Huwei Escort Agency.

Wang Mazi smiled and nodded: "Our escort agency occasionally needs manpower. Do you think I can ask you for help then?"

Of course Xu Changhe was willing. He took a mouthful of rice and said, "Of course, as long as you get paid for the work."

Wang Mazi said cheerfully: "Don't worry, you will not be short of 25 cents a day."

After eating, Shen Qianning cleared away the dishes and called everyone together.

He said seriously: "Those people outside the village came from other counties to grab food. There is so much millet piled in the yard, I'm worried that they will come to grab it tonight."

This concern is very necessary.

She felt that Aunt Yuegui was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It's very possible to do it tonight.

Wang Mazi, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, said: "Don't worry, our brothers will take turns guarding tonight."

When Xu Changhe and the others came, Chen Zhongqiu had warned them to hold on to the grain, and he patted his chest and said, "Boss Shen, just sleep peacefully. As long as we are here, they can't steal a single grain."

Shen Qianning asked everyone to take turns keeping vigil.

And she decided not to sleep tonight.

She would like to have a good meeting with those people.

After putting her three children to bed, she began carving the pumpkin.

The dried pumpkins are packed in sacks, and there is half a room in the woodshed.

She cleaned out the pumpkin seeds, and the first batch had already been dried.

I cut these today, take time to dry them tomorrow, and then dry out the pumpkin seeds. When Magistrate Cui's people come, they will take them all to the county government office.

In the woods outside the village, more than sixty people have gathered at this moment.

Aunt Yue Gui said: "You all know the exact location of her house, right? You should prepare baskets and sacks! Everyone must unite tonight, pack the food and leave."

There are more than sixty of them, and Shen Qianning's family only has about twenty people at best.

She even counted the number in the afternoon, and there were only 21 people including three children, which was not enough people to see.

Suddenly there was the sound of gongs and drums on the village road.

It was Xiao Dongsheng who saw the people rushing into the village while patrolling.

Shen Qianning grabbed the newly purchased woodcutter, woke up Xiao Dongchen and asked him to close the door, then went out and guarded the door of the yard.

Xu Changhe also came with all his brothers.

Everyone had a pole or a hoe in their hand.

And Shen Qianning stood at the front.

Many people in the village stood at the back.

Shen Qianning looked at the dark crowd, with a sullen face, and looked directly at the leader, Aunt Yue Gui.

"Call you Aunt Yuegui!" Shen Qianning's tone was a little cold.
