After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shui Qing took Bai Ziqian to Shanshui Village empty-handed. When he returned, Bai Ziqian carried a heavy long basket with both hands.

Throughout the morning, the two gained a lot.

The sun was rising, and Shui Qing picked out a bulging cucumber from the long basket carried by Bai Ziqian, wiped it on the hem of his clothes and ate it.

The fragrance of cucumber bursts in your mouth, which is a great relief from the heat.

The cucumbers in the vegetable garden at home were brought to the men who were traveling early in the morning, and even the ones that were not fully grown were picked. There have been no fresh cucumbers to eat in the past two or three days.

Unexpectedly, the women in the village immediately made up for her.

Bai Ziqian never thought that things would progress so smoothly.

He looked at Shui Qing beside him, who was munching cucumbers, and asked: "Auntie, you said that the land of the tenant farmer belongs to the owner after all, and handing over [-]% is already considered evil, but without land and land, he has no choice but to do so. Tenant the fields to cultivate;

But they all own this land, why should they agree to it? "

They even rush to plant with enthusiasm, which is completely different from the sad-faced sharecroppers.

He thought he would be scolded, or at best be treated coldly. He reluctantly agreed that he would be a real villain this time.

Unexpectedly, they were greeted with smiles and even received several gifts.

An armful of juicy cucumbers, a pile of fresh loofahs, tender gourds, snails and river clams for the children to touch... are all common foods in Shanshui Village. They don't cost money, but they are the best available. .

The bamboo basket was also given to me by a woman in the village, but she refused to give it back, saying that I had a lot of bamboo and someone in my family knew how to weave it, and if the weaving was not good, it would not be worth the extra trip to return it.

He kept dragging them to talk and insisted on keeping them for lunch. The two refused for a long time before finally leaving.

This is a sincere thank you.

Shui Qing corrected: "It's not a promise to me, it's a promise to you."

Bai Ziqian frowned slightly, puzzled: "I agreed after all. Isn't it the same whether I promise you or me?"

Before he came here, he thought that Aunt Shui Qing wanted him to take the blame and let the Bai family bear a bad name, so she asked him to come forward in the name of the Bai family. But now it seems that no one thinks it is a bad thing at all, so why does Aunt Shui Qing still do it? It must be so clearly distinguished.

Shui Qing looked at the rugged dirt road in the village and shook his head: "It's different.

You are not related to them. The Bai family is a businessman. In business, you bought the potatoes. Now you have no choice but to plant them in Shanshui Village. It is voluntary for both parties.

The amount of potatoes is huge. One acre of rice and wheat can only weigh [-] to [-] kilograms. One acre of corn, millet and other coarse grains cannot exceed [-] kilograms. But even if the potatoes are turned in at [-]%, the amount left over will still be more than that!

What’s more, it’s impossible to grow anything except winter wheat, and planting winter wheat will affect the planting of potatoes in the first half of next year. After weighing it, of course it is still cost-effective to grow potatoes. "

Bai Ziqian wanted to say that these two points were the same for Aunt Shui Qing, but he heard her sigh faintly: "You don't understand people's hearts. People are very complicated. If it's you or the Bai family, they will I'm grateful, but if it were applied to me, it would make me feel black-hearted!

There are more than 400 people in the village. Do you think any of these people are thinking: We are from the same village. Should we help each other? How can we take advantage of the opportunity to ask for [-]%?

Since the Bai family doesn't want to buy potatoes and plant them, they can just leave them there. Although they don't have corn flour to exchange for potatoes, they can plant them first. They can just pay you back after the potatoes are harvested. At worst, they can pay you back with more pounds. It’s also profitable! "

Bai Ziqian's long eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly felt that what Aunt Shui Qing said made sense...

Shui Qing patted the shoulder of the young man beside him, raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and taught: "The human heart is like the sun, we cannot look directly at it; don't test human nature easily, because human nature cannot withstand testing, what we have to do is avoid."

There are about [-] people, how can everyone be good? It's impossible for everyone to be good.

Bai Ziqian thought over and over what Shui Qing said in his mind and forgot to reply for a moment.

It is a good thing to have leisurely water and clear music, and to know how to think.

As she walked, she carefully looked at the current Shanshui Village.

When she first arrived last year, most of them were thatched houses, with only a few brick and adobe houses, which also had thatched roofs.

Now, although the number of brick houses has not increased, the number of adobe houses has increased dramatically, and all of them have gray tile roofs.

In the entire village, only Fan Damu and Zhang Tuzi's family still had thatched houses before the rainstorm. After the rainstorm, they still had thatched houses. However, Fan Damu's family became slaves and moved to live in Wu County Magistrate's Mansion. Now the village has thatched houses. Only Zhang Tuzi's family was left.

Therefore, when shouting came from the thatched house in front, Shui Qing walked to the nearest place before stopping.

It wasn’t that she wanted to hear someone’s privacy, but that she heard Wenhua’s name!

Bai Ziqian also stopped and looked up at Shui Qing, who gave him a silent gesture.

"I have inquired about it. Hu Wenhua is also 16 years old this year. He is the same age as me. His father is a butcher. I heard that his mother's wine-making and selling business in Niutou Town was successful last year!

If I get married, won't I have meat and wine every time? ! Maybe I can bring a big bone back for my parents and brothers to make soup, what do you think? "

Zhang Tuzi's voice came: "Hey, big bone soup, this is delicious! Pair it with black-faced steamed buns. One mouthful of bone soup and one mouthful of steamed buns. Oops, your tongue can swallow it!"

"But, didn't your father break up with that Hu Shuiqing? If you get married to Hu Wenhua, where will your father's face go?"

Bai Ziqian frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Is this Zhang Tuzi's family?"

Shui Qing nodded.

She remembered Zhang Tuzi's voice. There were four people in the Zhang family. Zhang Tuzi, his wife Aunt Zhang, the eldest daughter Zhang Chunhua and Zhang Xiaocao were cousins, and they also had a son, Zhang Xiaocao.

The last voice was obviously older, and it should have been said by Second Aunt Zhang.

Bai Ziqian's face was ugly. It didn't matter that Zhang Chunhua was not good-looking, but she was also lazy and had a good eye but a low hand. She often went to Zhang Xiaocao's house to pick up things. Does this mean she has a crush on Uncle Wenhua?

That won't work!

His uncle Wenhua was strong, hard-working, and respected etiquette... He was so good that he couldn't be better than Zhang Chunhua!

"Ahem, Hu Wenhua is Hu Wenhua, and that mother-in-law is that mother-in-law, how can we talk about it at the same time!" Zhang Tuzi's dissatisfied voice came, "Besides, if our Chunhua can marry into the Hu family, we will be the mistress of the Hu family in the future. She When an aunt returns to Hu's house, she can't look at my daughter's face?

My daughter, show her face when the time comes and vent this bad breath on her father! "

"Dad is right! I will definitely help dad and vent your anger!"

Hearing this, Shui Qingqi smiled.

You haven't even entered the door yet, and you want to pick on my aunt? No matter which family this girl marries in the future, there will be no peace in any family.
