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

Shui Qing expected Zhang Chunhua to run away.

Wan Xia is the type of person who can be helped to stand up. It's okay to be timid, but if someone can't stand up with someone to help her and support her, that would be more irritating than seeing her being bullied!

The three little girls had no problem distributing things. If there were any problems, they seemed to be able to solve them now. They had settled their own matters. Shui Qing opened the door and went home without worries.

He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already late. Bai Manshan and his party had gone to Nanning Mansion last night and had returned this morning to pick up the second batch of potatoes, but Bai Manshan did not follow them back.

I don’t know what happened to the land he bought. It was almost a year after the flood, and the land in Zhulin Village may have been sold long ago.... I don’t know if any of the victims have chosen a suitable one...

As night fell, the clatter of horse hooves sounded again, and candles were lit in the room, making it as bright as day.

The dining table was filled with a large table of food. Shui Qing and his family had already eaten. This was prepared for Bai Manshan and his party.

A few more people came back than expected, and Mother Hu quickly went to the kitchen to fill up a few more bowls of rice.

The five men beside Bai Manshan were wearing tattered clothes and stood awkwardly beside him. They lowered their heads and only looked at the ground in front of them, not daring to look around. They were honest and responsible people.

Wiping the sweat from his head, Bai Manshan stepped forward and said directly: "Sister, I picked twelve families, with probably more than a hundred people. These five are the ones I think are smart and intelligent. I will bring them here together for you to get familiar with them. "

The village in Zhulin Village will definitely need a head of the village in the future. Sister Shui Qing can handle things with the head of the village. Otherwise, you can't give orders to more than a hundred people every time, right?

Young Master Zhuangzi is still close enough, but if there are more people in the back and the area expands, he will be exhausted.

As soon as Bai Manshan finished speaking, the five people immediately bowed and saluted, and at the same time introduced themselves: "Little Gong Shang has met Madam. Madam can call Little Gong Da."

"Little Zhou Youzhou has met Madam. Madam can call Little Zhou Laoer."

.....

Shui Qing understood that Bai Manshan was asking her to recognize his face and get to know him later to see which one was suitable to be the head of the village.

She looked at the five people, and after writing them down one by one, she said to the five of them, Hexu, "You are hungry because you came here on the way. Let's go to the dining room to eat first. Let's talk when we're full."

They are all human beings. It is their first time to come here. How can they ask questions when they are hungry? Besides, Bai Manshan has been tired from running around all day, so he has to fill his stomach first.

Gong Shangzhou Youzhou and the other five people raised their heads in surprise. They didn't expect that the master would let them go to eat first, but only in the dining room. Do they deserve it?

This is the boss they finally met. Mr. Bai is very strict in selecting people. If they don't perform well, they will definitely be sent back to the dental shop. There are a lot of wives, children, old and young in the family, and they can't be re-elected because of their own mistakes. pick.

The five people were motionless, their curved backs even more cramped, and they didn't know where to place their chapped palms.

Shui Qing sighed and said to Bai Manshan, "Brother Bai, take the lead."

Bai Manshan happily took over the task and said to the five people: "Let's go, just follow me."

The five of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and then looked at Shui Qing. Seeing that she didn't show any intention of probing or blaming her, they hesitantly raised their big feet in tattered straw sandals to follow Bai Manshan.

There are only a few dishes on the table, including a pork stew with potatoes, a lamb offal soup, a shredded pork with garlic sprouts, and a pot of steamed eggs. There are only four dishes, but each one is served in a soup basin, and the portions are full!

Bai Manshan was already hungry after running around all day. He picked up the stoneware bowl on the table and scooped steamed eggs into the bowl to mix with rice.

He turned around and saw the five people standing around the dinner table, shouting anxiously: "What are you doing standing still? Could this food get into your stomachs? Eat it quickly!"

Although there are only four dishes, there are meat, eggs, vegetables, and a soup! What a great combination.

Today is no different than before. The fifty men brought back by Ling Ran are transporting potatoes back and forth. Just preparing food for these fifty men is very tiring!

Being able to prepare three dishes and one soup for them despite being so tired, she is worthy of being his sister~

Gong Shang and the other five people were filled with disbelief and did not dare to sit down.

Zhou Youzhou even thought about what his parents had named him, thinking that it would be good to have enough porridge at home, but the four dishes in front of him all contained meat. This was no longer porridge, nor meat, but full of meat!

His parents didn't even dare to name him like this, but now he actually ate four dishes, four meat dishes...

Bai Manshan reacted, deliberately put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Sit down and eat quickly. After eating, your master must have something to tell you. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work!"

"Oooh, ooh, okay."

The five people hurriedly sat down and picked up the big bowl. The aroma of rice inside filled their nostrils. The bowl held in their palms seemed to be heavier than a hammer!

They shook their chopsticks and picked up a piece of potato. They had eaten this in Zhulin Village at noon. It was much smoother than black noodles. It would be their staple food in the future. They should be fine eating this.

Shui Qing saw it and said, "We try not to keep the food in our house overnight. If you can't finish it, it's a waste. If you really can't eat it, just eat meat. It's a pity that the vegetables are thrown out without the meat."

When the five people heard that the food was not finished and wanted to throw it away, they hurriedly picked up the meat. Then they realized that the master wanted them to be rude.

The eyes of the five people were wet. They lowered their heads and almost buried their faces in the big rice bowls, taking big mouthfuls of food.

The four dishes in the basin were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. Later, Bai Manshan did not dare to be distracted and did not pay attention to the image. He also quickly shoveled the food into his mouth.

In the end, all the mutton giblets in the mutton giblet soup were removed, and not even a drop of the mutton soup was left.

Bai Manshan caressed his round belly and wanted to slump in the chair without moving, but he just thought about it - there were still many things waiting for him, and time was too little and too precious to be wasted.

After only resting for half a cup of tea, he struggled to stand up and winked at Shuiqing.

The two went to the main room.

"Zhulin Village was severely flooded, and there were many acres. The old men thought it was unlucky to have too many people die here, so they never sold it. After I left, I paid back the price, and in the end I paid one to two dollars per acre. I bought them all, a total of 560 acres, and the land purchased was 672 taels, which was a little less than the budget. "

Shui Qing: ...There is something missing here. It used to be seven or eight taels an acre. After the flood, it was sold at a discount for only two or three taels. Now Bai Manshan bought it for one tael or two an acre. It’s a whole lot less. More than half of it!

She didn't think it was unlucky to have so many dead people, because the people in Zhulin Village were all members of Hong Daniu's family. What others were afraid of were the people Hong Daniu, Li Dani, and the others wanted to see but would never see again.

And if one had been alert in advance and taken precautions like Bai Manshan, there would have been as many as Baijiazhuang.
