Chapter 169 Surprise
Seeing Jiang Yichen's sudden visit, the village hurried forward to greet him.

"Mr. Jiang is here, hurry up and sit at home."

For Jiang Yichen, the only teacher in the village, the village head still respects him very much.

Even in order not to lose face in front of Jiang Yichen, someone even brought out a set of porcelain cups that he specially kept before and invited Jiang Yichen to drink tea.

"This is the new tea that my Cuiyu bought a few days ago. I drink it and it tastes good. Mr. Jiang will also try it."

Chen Xiaopang, who was eavesdropping outside the door, pouted.

"Grandpa has never drank that tea before. Why do you still say that it tastes good when you drink it? Isn't this a lie to Mr.?"

Chen Dazhu raised his hand and slapped his son, "Then talk so much? Hurry up and help your grandmother harvest the wheat. After two days of rain, if our family's grain this year is confiscated, it will be destroyed in the field. You can only eat half a bowl of rice a day."

When Chen Xiaopang heard this, he hurried to the field.

He can tolerate other things, let him only eat half a bowl of rice every day, this is terrible.

Jiang Yichen looked at the unconcealable pride on the village head's face, and praised with a smile: "This tea is not bad, it should be newly harvested, the village head must have spent a lot of money to buy this tea, right?"

Sure enough, these words made the smile on the village chief's face even stronger.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Jiang, this tea is indeed newly harvested. This is because our Cuiyu is filial, so he is willing to buy this tea for me."

Chen Cuiyu is the youngest daughter of the village chief. She married in the town two years ago, but she has been envied by the villagers for a long time.

The village head was secretly complacent for a moment, and suddenly thought that Jiang Yichen, a teacher, could not come to their house for no reason, so he immediately corrected his expression.

"What's the matter with Mr. Jiang coming to our house today? But that kid, Fatty, is disobedient in school?"

Although the school has not started classes for some time, the village head is also worried that his grandson is making trouble in the school, so Jiang Yichen finds his home now that he has free time.

Seeing the village head misunderstood, Jiang Yichen quickly explained.

"The village chief misunderstood. Xiaopang's performance in the school is quite good. After two years of rural examinations, maybe Xiaopang can try to be a child student."

The village chief was taken aback, "Tong...Tongsheng? Mr. Jiang, is what you said true? Can our chubby really pass the Tongsheng exam?"

The village head has been farming in Chen Xing Village for several generations, and he sent his eldest grandson to Jiang Yichen to study, just to let his grandson know a few words, so that he won't be deceived in the future.

But now when he heard that Jiang Yichen asked his grandson to take the entrance exam, the village chief stood up immediately in fright.Even the tea leaves that he had always cherished and carefully wrapped fell on the table at this moment, and he didn't seem to notice it.

Seeing the village head lose his composure, Jiang Yichen comforted him: "In two years, Fatty will indeed be able to take the Tongsheng exam, but if he can maintain his current study progress in the past two years, Tongsheng will naturally pass the exam."

The sudden surprise made the village head a little at a loss, and he walked around the house several times holding hands before calming down.

Seeing Jiang Yichen still sitting there slowly sipping tea, the village chief suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I made Mr. Jiang laugh, I... I am also happy for a while..."

Although Jiang Yichen is a son of a rich family, he was in a high position back then.In order to understand the people's sentiments, he did not have little contact with ordinary people.

Naturally, I know how difficult it is for ordinary people who are not even considered poor to take scientific examinations.

"It's okay, Xiaopang is smart, and studying with Yuan Shan will definitely get a good reputation in the future."

Gao Yuanshan is a material for studying, and the village head has heard of this before.But he never expected that his grandson could read, and he would be mentioned by Jiang Yichen together with Gao Yuanshan.

At this moment, the village head was shrouded in surprise. He wanted to ask more questions, but felt it was inappropriate.Suddenly thinking that Jiang Yichen came to look for him on his own initiative today, the village chief hurriedly sat back, and his excitement calmed down a lot.

"From then on, Xiaopang will have Mr. Lao Jiang. If Xiaopang is disobedient, you can just beat him up, and our family will not say a word."

Jiang Yichen nodded. Although Chen Xiaopang is not as tall as Yuanshan, he is indeed a child who can read.

"Since it's not Xiaopang's business, I don't know why Mr. Jiang came to our house today..."

Jiang Yichen then said: "I heard that our Chen Xing Village has more than ten acres of wasteland near the back mountain. I wonder if I can buy it?"

The village head was taken aback, realizing that Jiang Yichen was going to buy wasteland, his eyes widened.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yichen is not from their Chen Xing Village, if he bought land in their Chen Xing Village, wouldn't he become a member of their Chen Xing Village in the future?

But then the village chief thought of Gu Manxiu who had just left. Jiang Yichen is now living with Gu Manxiu's family. Could it be that this wasteland was bought for Gu Manxiu?

The village chief asked tentatively, "Mr. Jiang's land...is it for Mrs. Yuan Shan?"

"The village chief misunderstood that the wasteland was bought in my name, so naturally it was for myself. As for Ms. Gu, I heard that she needs some fields. I bought the wasteland and can rent it to her."

The village chief's eyes widened when he heard the words, he never expected Jiang Yichen to have such thoughts.

"Mr. Jiang, this... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Although Jiang Yichen is the only teacher in their Chen Xing Village now, he also said before that he would let Gu Manxiu consider it, but now he suddenly sold the wasteland...

Jiang Yichen saw the village chief's concern, so he didn't hide it from him anymore.

"To tell the truth from the village chief, I also heard from Miss Gu that she couldn't buy wasteland, and that's why I came up with this idea."

Seeing the village chief frowning, Jiang Yichen explained.

"Actually, Ms. Gu didn't buy the wasteland for anything else. She got some medicinal seeds herself and wanted to plant medicinal materials in our village. When the time comes, she will have to ask the village chief to find someone from the village to help her clean up the medicinal materials."

The village chief was shocked, "Isn't this medicinal material known to ordinary Dong Niangniang? She can still grow it?"

In the view of the village head, Gu Manxiu is just an ordinary little farm widow, but he has never heard that Gu Manxiu knows medicinal materials or anything.

Jiang Yichen's face remained unchanged.

"Miss Gu knows this well, otherwise she wouldn't want to buy wasteland from the village to grow medicinal herbs."

The village head thinks about it too. Although Gu Manxiu has only been married to Chen Xing Village for a few years, she has changed a lot since she recovered her life from the river.

Not only did the children in the family grow stronger and stronger, but also let the two boys go to school.

Even the little girl of the Gao family seems to have become fatter and fatter in recent days.

"In fact, there is no one farming in the wasteland village on the back mountain. If you want it, it's not impossible to sell it to you."
