Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 36
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the wind is dry.

Liu Qingcao, wearing a straw hat, drove the ox cart back to the yard leisurely.

In the yard, the old man Niu was sitting in the shed with his eyes closed and dozed off, while Luo Shiyuan who came with him was lying on the bench, half propped up on his elbows, looking out of the yard, his movements were wanton and unrestrained, while There seemed to be a troubled look on his face.

"It's still early for lunch, why are you here so early?" Liu Qingcao went into the yard, moved the things down, looked at the two people sitting in the shed, and asked in bewilderment.

"Let's see if there is any work to do..." Luo Shiyuan glanced at his elder brother Cheng, and said resentfully.

Liu Qingcao looked at the two of them, and then looked around the yard. The water tank was full, the kiln was on fire, and enough firewood was piled up in the kitchen...

Well, it seems that these two people are indeed here to work.

"Uncle Niu, I bought wasteland and am going to open up wasteland. After lunch, I will go to the village chief's house later. Can you accompany me there?"

Liu Qingcao has something to do this time, and it will be easier to handle things with the old man Niu. After all, she doesn't want to be rejected by someone who is not familiar with the place.

The old man Niu opened his eyes and took a look at him, then closed his eyes comfortably.

Liu Qingcao didn't ask any more questions, and if he still kept it after dinner, it meant he agreed.

Otherwise, just don't want to.

After getting along for so long, she more or less understood the old man Niu's temper.

At noon, Liu Qingcao took out the cold tofu left this morning and mixed it with a large pot of spicy one. Naturally, one dish was not enough, so she brought four more eggs and fried a large pot of eggs with leeks.

As soon as the food was served, Luo Shiyuan jumped up from the horizontal chair like a monkey, and walked quickly to the dining table.

At this scene, Liu Qingcao's eyelids twitched. This person is too different. When we first met, he looked like a cold and indifferent young master of a family. Now, she really is embarrassed.

"It's time to eat, Uncle Niu." Liu Qingcao ignored Luo Shiyuan, scooped water into the pot, wiped her hands and left the kitchen.

The old man Niu opened his eyes, looked at Luo Shiyuan who was sitting at the table impatiently, and frowned.

"Shiyuan, is this how your mother taught you?" The old man Niu sat on the stool, his voice was imposing, and he didn't even look at Luo Shiyuan.

Hearing the displeasure in this voice, Luo Shiyuan quickly sat up straight, not daring to make a sound.

The old man Niu saw that he was honest, so he didn't say much, picked up his chopsticks and ate.

Luo Shiyuan was still a little scared in his heart, so he quietly looked at Brother Cheng from the corner of his eye, and found that he no longer cared about himself, so he relaxed a little, and started to eat.

Liu Qingcao didn't notice Luo Shiyuan's cautiousness, but felt that the atmosphere on the table was a bit cold, but fortunately, it returned to normal after a while.

Luo Shiyuan was a chatterbox, after dinner, he kept chasing Liu Qingcao to ask this and that, which made her almost kick him out of the house.

The sun was setting slightly to the west, and Liu Qingcao went out with some cakes she bought in the morning. As Liu Qingcao expected, the old man Niu didn't leave after eating, and now he followed her to Jiang Dahe Jiang Village's head's house.

Luo Shiyuan originally wanted to join in the fun, but seeing that Brother Cheng's face was not good, he went back to Old Man Niu's residence in a resentment.

As the richest person in the entire village, Jiang Dahe's house is naturally not too bad. Although it is not a blue brick house, it is also a standard thatched house made of thick earth.

Most of the houses in the village are built with mud and vegetation, which is not as strong and resistant as the village head's house.

Liu Qingcao stood outside the yard, standing on tiptoe and knocking on the solid wood gate of Jiangcun Chang's house.

There were three muffled bangs, and after a while, footsteps could be heard inside. A 21-year-old woman came out with a bun on her head. She guessed it was the daughter-in-law of Jiang Dahe's family.

"..." Looking at the shy woman, Liu Qingcao was a little speechless. As a family member of the head of a village, how could she be so unsociable.

"Little sister, what is this?" The woman blushed and said shyly.

Liu Qingcao handed the things over and smiled sweetly.

"Sister, I'm here to look for the village chief, is village chief Jiang at home?"

Seeing Liu Qingcao handing something in front of her, the woman stepped back in fear, and said in a trembling voice:
"Wait, wait a minute." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Liu Qingcao frowned, gritted her teeth, looked at the direction she was leaving, and sighed.

She doesn't like this village, no, to be precise, she doesn't like the weird behavior in this village.

As a person, the people in the village are indifferent and unsociable, living here is like a dark cage, invisible and breathless.

She sympathized with what happened to the people in the village, but she couldn't understand their self-defeating behavior of avoiding the world.

The woman left for a while before the village chief came out of the house. He was stunned when he saw Liu Qingcao, and then saw the old cow behind her, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"Village Chief Jiang, I'm Liu Qingcao from the end of the village. I came here today to ask for your help."

Seeing Jiang Dahe's stagnant behavior, Liu Qingcao was extremely angry.

But he is the head of a village, so it would be difficult to handle this matter without him.

"Oh, come in and talk." Jiang Dahe was stunned for a long time before uttering a few words.

Seeing that he wanted to go in by himself, Liu Qingcao was secretly relieved.

Entering the main room, the old man Niu sat on one side, Jiang Dahe sat on the main seat, and himself sat on the lower seat.

Liu Qingcao thought about a quick battle, looked at the old Jiang Dahe, and said straight to the point:

"Major Jiang, I want to talk to you about opening up wasteland. I bought some wasteland. I, a little girl, and Uncle Niu must be too busy. I think this is the slack period, and every household is idle. Therefore, I want people from the village to help us open up wasteland. Of course, we pay wages to open up wasteland.

One mu of land needs three people to open up wasteland, and it can be opened up in about three days. It can be done by one person, and the time must be longer. I will give 150 yuan per mu for the opened land, and then divide it according to the number of people who open up wasteland. . "

After talking for a while, Liu Qingcao felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the cup in front of her, took a sip of water, and continued, "I went to the government office today, Master Xia said, I want you to work harder, and don't let the village drag you back... "

Liu Qingcao looked at the terrified Jiang Dahe, quietly waiting for him to speak to her.

Liu Qingcao now understands that this Jiang Dahe is always thinking of running away, being a coward, if she doesn't beat and force him, he won't be able to accomplish anything.

Hearing Liu Qingcao's words, Jiang Dahe felt turbulent in his heart, and he was also troubled. Everyone in this village, including him, was a disaster victim. To put it mildly, he was the village chief, but to put it badly, he was the leader of the disaster victims, and he still chased ducks away. The kind that hit the shelves!

Over the years, the lives of the villagers have been worsening day by day, and many died of starvation and freezing. He has also given a helping hand. Even if half of the family wealth is dispersed, the current situation of the villagers cannot be changed.

Slowly, I don't know when, I also became like the villagers, indifferent, as long as the superiors don't speak, he will be a quiet quail!

What he is most afraid of is that the people from above will come to his door...

"Qingcao, I am old, and you have been in this village for more than ten years. I often have nightmares about what happened before. I thought that I would be appointed as the village head. No matter how difficult it is to leave, I will take the villagers with me. Get out of that pain, alas, uncle, I am incompetent, I can't get over myself, how can I get over the villagers!" After Jiang Dahe finished speaking, his whole body seemed to be drained of strength suddenly, he was instantly old and slumped, and his back was hunched go down.
