"Don't dare. I really don't deserve Mayor Wu's compliment."

"Village Chief Zhou is being humble. Over the years, you have worked hard for the village. I know it, and the county magistrate also knows it. Please wait patiently until the end of the year, and good news will come."

Village Chief Zhou was surprised at first, and then he couldn't help but smile and nodded. This hint would be understood by anyone unless he was a fool.

Wu Qinning had finished all the things he needed to do. He stood up and left. Before leaving, he called Song Tingran alone.

This played into Song Tingran's wish. She was actually a little uneasy after receiving so many rewards. If she had them all, forget it, but she was the only one who had this money.

"Mayor Wu, I also have something to say. Village Chief Zhou was here just now, and I really couldn't say it."

"It seems that you and I want to be together. Since you spoke first, you should do it first."

"Such a large box of silver was given to me alone. Village Chief Zhou was also present at that time, as were many others."

Wu Qining patted Song Tingran on the shoulder.

"Do you think it's just this one thing? Building bridges and paving roads is a major livelihood project for the people. You are selfless. Now it's a good talk."

So that's it. It seems that this is a reward and a subsidy, but Song Tingran is still afraid that there will be problems, and that Village Chief Zhou will feel uncomfortable.

"I understand, but..."

"Don't worry, Village Chief Zhou and I made it very clear when we went to find you. She is a good village chief and a sensible person. Just do what you have to do."

Wu Qinning left with her men, and Song Tingran and Village Chief Zhou sent her to the embroidery workshop.

"Congratulations, Song Tingran, you are brave and resourceful, and I will also take advantage of you."

"Congratulations to you too, Village Chief Zhou. I don't know what the good news at the end of the year is, but it's so mysterious."

Village Chief Zhou is very cautious. He looked around and luckily there was no one else around him. He said, "This matter needs to be kept secret until the dust settles. I want to save myself some unnecessary trouble. I just want to live a stable life."

"Okay, we will announce it at the end of the year."

Village Chief Zhou was about to leave, but Song Tingran grabbed his arm and took him directly back home, where he told him about the seeds.

"Actually, I've been thinking about something. How about you, the head of Daniu Village, do it? I'm serious. Song Tingran, your brain is worse than mine and you have more ideas. Compared to you, I’m really ashamed of myself.”

"What are you talking about, Village Chief Zhou? I'm just a little smart. I can't do it if I'm asked to work as hard as you. I think it's best if we cooperate like this."

Village Chief Zhou was very touched. She had visited Song Tingran's rice many times. She didn't know why, but it grew well and she never saw any special care. It was the same as everyone else's.

Looking at it this way, the fundamental problem is that the seeds are of good quality and have high yields.

"On behalf of Daniu Village, thank you."

Village Chief Zhou was happier than when he arrived. Just looking at his back, he could tell that Song Tingran was standing at the door, stretching.

"Hey, Xiao Zhuangzhuang, how is Tang Xing?"

"Aunt Song, brother Tang Xing is doing well. He is working in the embroidery workshop, eh? What about the piles of people just now? I was so scared that I didn't even dare to come out to pour water."

"Let's go, you should go back quickly."

Seven days later.

Song Tingran is making old-fashioned spicy hotpot with red oil at home. Ever since making spicy hotpot, the husbands have become obsessed with it and want to eat it every day.

She said it was unhealthy every time, but she still worked diligently. Qiao Jinshu was a month old and could not run around like before, but she still walked quickly and came to the door of the kitchen.

"My wife, I just went for a walk with Sang Cheng. Guess what we saw? You can't even imagine it!"

"Did you see that Manfu climbed up the tree?"

Wen Ci and Wen Li, who were both in the kitchen, laughed and looked at Qiao Jinshu curiously.

"It's even more strange than a tree full of blessings. I saw people from the imperial court building roads in Daniu Village, and people carving stones at the head of the village. It was very lively, and many people came to see it. But it was very dusty, so we went first came back."

Song Tingran put down the chili oil in his hand and asked, "Building roads? Will the imperial court build roads in our village?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Song Tingran looked like he didn't believe you. He leaned out half of the kitchen door and called Sang Cheng over.

"Sang Cheng, you said, it sounded like something out of a dream when it came out of his mouth."

Qiao Jinshu was unconvinced and said to Sang Cheng: "Fourth brother, you tell me, tell my wife whether what I told is the truth and whether we saw it with our own eyes."

Sang Cheng helped Qiao Jinshu's arm and told him what he had seen while walking.

It's actually true.

Shi Yan was covered in dust and patted himself in the courtyard. When he saw a lot of people in the kitchen, he also came over.

"Master Wife, all the things you told me have been done. According to the size of each family's land, we have left seeds with Village Chief Zhou. However, the rest will not be enough for our family's rations next year. I'm afraid we will need extra Pay for it.”

The school was on break today, so Song Tingran directly handed over this honorable matter to Shi Yan. With his status and aura, it was most suitable.

Qiao Jinshu hugged Shi Yan's shoulders directly, and his whole body seemed to be hanging on it without any bones.

"If it's not enough, it's not enough. Let the wife take it from the farming space."

Shi Yan was afraid that he would fall, so while holding him up, he patted his butt and asked him to stand up and speak.

"You are treating me as a food depot."

"Yes, yes, yes."

After laughing for a few more words, Song Tingran said, "Why did the road come to our village so suddenly?"

"My wife, I heard from Village Chief Zhou that it was an order from the imperial court, saying that our resort is a good place. It would be a reward to build roads so that more people can come and play. But it is not just Daniu Village, Ping'an Town There is also construction going on around here.”

Fortunately, Shi Yan went to deliver seeds to Village Chief Zhou in the morning, otherwise he would not have known the news.

Wen Li: "It will cost several hundred taels of silver. The road to the resort is not short."

Wen Ci: "Moreover, our wife has spent hundreds of taels just to build the small road in front of the pine forest. Such a long road will cost more than a thousand taels."

Song Tingran thought about it, and she really couldn't guess the price. After all, she said it was for road construction, but in fact it was only one piece. If calculated according to this price, it would be more than a thousand taels. After all, there is still the land from Ping'an Town to Daniu Village. strip.

No matter, it is a gift from the imperial court anyway. Only Daniu Village has it and no other villages have it. It is estimated that the faces of other village chiefs will turn green. The outstanding villages in the future must belong to Daniu Village.
