Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Everyone suddenly heard such news, not to mention how anxious they were. If there was a suitable place, they would also like to reclaim some wasteland.

Seeing that it was time for spring planting, they didn't even have a field to cultivate, so they were naturally panicked.

After finally seeing the signs, I naturally wanted to find out.

It's just that Shen Nanshan ran away without explaining clearly, so they didn't want to come to inquire about the situation.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally came up with an idea. A group of people went directly to the village chief. This was a major matter that affected the entire village, so it was right to ask the village chief for help.

Given the village chief's relationship with the Shen family, he might actually be able to find out the information they want.

However, their sudden move frightened the village chief. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that his home was tightly surrounded.

With everyone's excitement, for a moment he even wondered if he had done something to cause public outrage.

"What are you doing?"

"Village Chief, we are looking for you for something important. Aunt Yao is opening up wasteland in the west. Can we follow her?"

“Plough the land now and it will be ready for spring planting in a while.”

Everyone looked at the village chief expectantly, hoping that he could get this done.

The surrounding sounds were chaotic, and it took the village chief a long while to figure out what was going on.

This is really a happy event.

He knew very well that Yao Shu would never do anything in vain.

I guess the other party has already thought of a good idea.

The village chief was naturally very moved, but he didn't know how to ask Yao Shu for help. He came to ask for help so many times that even a shameless person like him became shy.

He glared at the villagers in front of him, not knowing what they were thinking. They were pointing at him, the village chief, to take the lead.

"You go find Sister-in-law Yao yourself. I think she will be willing to give us a hand."

"Here, village chief, you better go ahead, we people are stupid."

"That's right, we're afraid we can't explain it clearly, and you'll have to take action on this matter..."

After all, it was the village chief who finally walked towards the west. He couldn't resist everyone's wishes, and he couldn't bear to ignore them.

The terrain outside Zhangzhou City was very flat. He didn't go far to the west when he spotted the Shen family in the distance.

Not to mention, it would be great if such a flat terrain could be reclaimed into fertile farmland.

Unfortunately, it is mostly surrounded by sand.

Even though they had only been in Zhangzhou City for two or three months, the village chief was already very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

Everyone depends on the things around here to make a living, and we don’t know how many times we walk outside every day.

How could he remember that the soil quality in that area in the direction of the Shen family was not very good.

If it was really a good place suitable for land reclamation, he should have an impression.

With such doubts, the village chief finally came to the Shen family, and Yao Shu was not far in front of him.

"Village Chief, why are you here? Our family is working here, so don't stand nearby and get in the way."

Shen Nanshan glanced at Yao Shu guiltily. Thinking of what he had done not long ago, he knew why the village chief came suddenly and caused trouble to Yao Shu. Naturally, he was a little flustered.

Little did he know that Yao Shu knew his temper very well. Since she didn't say anything else, she just had the idea of ​​letting Shen Nanshan publicize the matter.

So his worries were unnecessary.

"I'll just look around and help you."

The village chief stood there without leaving. He took a look at the surrounding situation and saw that the Shen family was really reclaiming this place.

In just an instant, the village chief changed his mind. Previously he was thinking about how to ask Yao Shu to share his good ideas, but now he just wanted to persuade her to change her mind.

Even if they don't have any land to farm now, they can't just mess around.

Planting things on this dry sandy land is a waste of effort. If you are busy all year round, you may not be able to harvest as much food as you grow.

"Why am I bothering you, village chief? Please sit next to me and have a sip of tea."

Shen Ru entertained the village chief very politely.

How can the village chief still have the time to drink tea now? He is currently worried about Yao Shu's matter, but it is really difficult to say this to stop him. If he is not careful, he will be disliked by the Shen family.

"Ru Niang, please stop working so hard. I have something to do with your mother."

"Sister-in-law, please stop for a moment."

He said and walked to Yao Shu's side in a few steps.

Just when he came closer and wanted to remind him, he found a figure flashing past him.

Shen Nanshan appeared between him and Yao Shu.

Shen Nanshan's figure was too big for people to ignore. He looked at the village chief with some caution, obviously not happy that he was getting too close to his mother-in-law.

"What's the matter?"

Yao Shu had a vague suspicion in her heart and was ready to tell her plan. She gave Shen Nanshan a warning look to signal him not to make any trouble.

"Are you planning to open up wasteland for farming in this area?"

"Yes, there is a lot of wasteland around here. You can call everyone together. When the land is reclaimed, we can go to the government together to register. You don't need to pay taxes in the first three years."

She patiently explained to the village chief that Zhangzhou's policies were very conducive to their settling down.

If you move to another town, you won't have such good treatment. Maybe you will have to give the government a lot of money to accommodate you before you can settle down smoothly.

"Sister-in-law, you are confused."

The village chief said seriously.

His reaction was unexpected by Yao Shu. The development of the matter deviated from Yao Shu's expectation, but the village chief's angry and undisputed mood was not false. Could it be that she had overlooked something and done something stupid?

Yao Shu looked confused and asked worriedly.

"Why am I confused?"

"This land is almost all sand. There is no need to cultivate it at all. There is no way to grow food. We are all old farmers. How can we be so stupid? Even if we go into the mountains to open up wasteland, it will be better than this."

The words had come to this point, and the village chief didn't bother to speak more tactfully to save some face for Yao Shu.

After all, Yao Shu's decision-making has been correct for a long time.

This is really true. Yao Shu never expected this to be the reason. She breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly to the village chief.

"Just rest assured. Since I have cultivated half an acre of land here, there will definitely be a harvest in the fall."

“What can you grow on this land?”

The village chief glanced down in disgust. He really couldn't imagine what kind of food could be grown in this place.
