Chapter 236 New arrival
There are pots and pans, tables, chairs and stools, most of which she declined, especially for food, she has no shortage, only a few stools and a table.

The house was almost tidied up, and when the fire was about to be lit, Lizheng came and said that the village had prepared a banquet to welcome her, and asked her to go to his house for a meeting first.

"Okay, but I want to ask, is the land all planted?"

"Not yet, just another day of work tomorrow will finish the planting."

"Will the potatoes in the field be picked up and eaten?"

"I'll send someone to keep an eye on it."

"Will Xiangxi Village also arrange people to patrol?"

"Don't worry, I'll go and notify them to arrange a patrol."

Li Zheng called someone to lead Su Nanzhen to his house for a meeting.

Su Nanzhen glanced at Mu Furong, knowing that someone would look at the things at home, so she left with that person.

It wasn't that she was worrying unfoundedly, but along the way, she saw people in ragged clothes and people looking for food in mouse holes. They planted potatoes in such a high-profile way, who didn't know if someone would steal them.

The potatoes have not been planted yet, and Yao Dan said that the remaining potatoes are guarded by officials. She is not very worried, but worried that the potatoes in the field will be stolen.

When I came to Lizheng's house, his house was quite big, but there were seven or eight tables set up in the huge yard. There were many people standing in the place where people could stand, and they couldn't stretch out their hands where they could walk. , and those people looked at her curiously, some were surprised, some admired, some were coveted and curious.

They were looking at her and Eggy, and Eggy was also looking at everyone curiously, without any fear.

Su Nanzhen looked at them for a moment without changing his face, and then entered the room.

Lady Lizheng yelled to everyone to sit down if they want to eat and drink well, and don't stare at the nobleman as if they have never seen the world.

Although they are from the same village, there are not many people with the same surname. Some came to open up wasteland, some were exiled, and a small part were the first to settle here.

The room was burning with charcoal, and it was very warm. Su Nanzhen took off her Dandan leather jacket and her cloak.

"Sit, sit whatever you want, just treat it as your own home, my home may be a bit shabby."

"Where."

Su Nanzhen sat down with her balls in her arms and chatted with her.

Mrs. Lizheng looked at her holding Eggy, and said with a smile, "The children at home are getting older, so it's not as lively as when they were young, but the things they played with when they were young are still there. Chunxi, go and get those gadgets that your man played with." Take it out for the little boy to play with."

"Hey." Chunxi responded, turned around and entered the room, quickly took out a big box, opened it in front of them, took out a rattle from inside, wiped it carefully before handing it to Eggy.

Eggy was not interested in the rattle, but curiously took out a mahogany sword and made a gesture.

"Boys like those." Mrs. Lizheng said with a smile.

"Yes." Su Nanzhen echoed.

"It's been a long time since the village has been so lively as it is now. You came at the right time. I see that they are busy making troubles and troubles everywhere. Now they are busy in the field. I heard that this one potato can grow many potatoes. The food has also been settled, and I feel at ease in my heart."

"It still takes time. I think the soil here is soft, so it should be suitable for growing potatoes. After harvesting the potatoes, I have to continue planting them non-stop. I hope you don't think I'm too busy."

"..."

The two talked a lot with each other, and Su Nanzhen also learned about farming on their side from her, and she also talked about her own experience without hesitation.

Mrs. Lizheng was very surprised. Looking at the little lady who was as old as her own daughter, she knew quite a lot. She dared not neglect her more and looked forward to what kind of harvest she would get from planting potatoes this time.

At this time, someone came in and asked Mrs. Lizheng to arrange a few tables of meals first. If someone really wanted to steal potatoes, they should call more people to guard the land in the village.

Lady Lizheng asked Chunxi to help in the kitchen, and called Su Nanzhen to drink tea.

But for the first time here, Su Nanzhen didn't dare to eat and drink, for fear of spoiling his stomach, so he just tasted it.

After the food was served, Lizheng also came back, exchanged a few pleasantries and began to eat.

Su Nanzhen only ate half a bowl of rice and seldom ate.

Eggy is also a bit uncomfortable, and I ate some snacks when I was at home, but I didn't eat much.

"My cat eats more than you." Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Mrs. Lizheng said carelessly.

"People can eat as much as they like, what are you talking about, you think everyone is as gluttonous as you." Li Zheng rolled his eyes at her, and his voice became much louder unconsciously, startling the people present.

He probably also realized that he apologized to Su Nanzhen embarrassingly, and stopped accordingly.

As soon as he stopped, those who accompanied him to eat also put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.

Su Nanzhen felt a little surprised but didn't say anything. He only heard that the custom here is that men and women have different tables. It may be because of her that Lizheng lets his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stay with him.

Although he had a loud voice, Mrs. Lizheng and her daughter-in-law didn't look particularly scared, and it was inconvenient for her to talk about housework.

Li was asking her to say a few words to everyone, but Su Nanzhen refused and agreed.

The first thing she said was that the potatoes germinated and couldn't be eaten, and what to do next. As for how to grow potatoes, there was no special skill, and she would explain it to the people in the two villages in detail tomorrow.

"It should, it should." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"The child is sleepy, so I won't bother you." Seeing Dandan rubbing her eyes, Su Nanzhen said goodbye to Lizheng.

Li Zheng didn't keep him, he sent him to the door of his house and left.

Su Nanzhen signaled Mu Furong to close the door, while she carried him back into the house.

There was already a charcoal fire in the room, and it wasn't very cold. After sitting down for a while, it felt a little hot. Su Nanzhen took off the leather jacket for Dandan, "Are you awake?"

Eggy had already started to doze off, and now she opened her eyes wide in a daze, looking at her blankly.

"Rinse your mouth first, wipe your body before going to bed." Su Nanzhen was hesitating whether to take a bath for him, but Mu Furong had already come in with hot water, it was very cold, and it was night, so she gave up the idea of ​​bathing him.

"En." Eggy answered vaguely, letting her help wipe her body, and cooperate with Guaiguai to rinse her mouth, but after finishing all these tasks, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.Su Nanzhen felt a little sleepy watching him fall asleep.

But she pulled herself together, turned around and looked at Mu Furong who was sleeping beside her, thought for a while, and then asked, "Did you find anyone suspicious along the way?"

"Master suspects that someone is following us?" Mu Furong thought for a while, then shook her head.

"That's not true. I'm just a little worried about someone's idea of ​​buying potatoes. I heard that even grain merchants are reluctant to come here when they are not picking up potatoes, because there are many crises on the road, and the food will be robbed if they are not careful." Su Nanzhen shook. Shaking his head, the atmosphere just now is not suitable for mentioning the horse thief, and Tudou is guarded by officials, so it should be fine.
