Chapter 45 Father's Nickname

Li Yan got up in the morning and looked at the sky. The weather was a little gloomy, but it was going to rain and it was estimated to be in the afternoon.

Mother's light laughter came from the kitchen, so she walked to the door curiously to listen.

"Niece and nephew, there are too many things to do, or I will tell you another one." Zheng Lin asked with a smile.

Li Lanfen looked at the man's sullen face and kept staring at herself, clearly unwilling to let him speak.

"Uncle Zheng, tell me, anyway, the porridge in the pot is not ready yet, so waiting is just waiting."

"Okay, let's talk about the origin of his nickname~" Zheng Lin nodded and began to recall.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Uncle Zheng from talking about his childhood, Li Xiangming snorted coldly and walked out of the kitchen angrily, but was startled by his daughter standing at the door, "Swallow, what are you doing standing here!"

Li Yan shrugged and said in a low voice, "Dad, I have something to do in the village, and the two grandpas left it to you. If they leave, Uncle Liu will settle the score with you!"

"Go, go, stay there where it's cooler, it's none of my business...Hey, stop!" Li Xiangming was not at all reluctant, but his daughter ran away.

When Li Yan arrived in the village, she went to look for Uncle Zheng.

"Aunt Huang, Uncle Zheng, are you going to work in the fields?" When they arrived at his house, both of them were preparing farm tools, as if they were about to go out.

Aunt Huang smiled happily when she saw her, "That's right, Yanzi, you go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, but what good thing do you have to take care of us?"

Uncle Zheng also smiled all over his face.

"Aunt Huang, you were right. I'm here to ask if you want to raise green-shell layer hens?" Li Yan thought about it all night last night, and Zhu Jianping said it made sense. It is not easy to develop Pingya Village as soon as possible, so we have to speed up the progress.

Uncle Zheng shook his head, "The chicken is expensive, it's not easy to survive."

"Uncle Zheng, you can raise them with confidence, I have everything!" Li Yan had already made up her mind that as long as they were willing, she would raise the seedlings by herself, which would save a lot of money.

Aunt Huang hesitated, raising chickens is a good thing, but building a spacious and bright chicken shed like Yanzi's house will cost a lot of money.

"Ms. Huang, I know you don't have a lot of money. I can pay for the materials for building the chicken coop in advance, and I will pay it later when I earn money." Li Yan knew what she was thinking.

Uncle Zheng shook his head hastily, "No, you can repay the loan yourself, we will figure out the money ourselves!"

"Well, Uncle Zheng chooses an address on his own land, preferably closer to me, so that he can save money on drilling wells." Li Yan ordered.

"Swallow, I'll go see it now." Uncle Zheng put the hoe in his hand and went back to the house to find a ruler.

Aunt Huang took Li Yan's hand, grateful, "Son, thank you, auntie."

"Auntie, they are all from the village. It is best if everyone is happy." Li Yan paused, "However, there are some things that Auntie has to keep in mind."

"Speak, I will listen to you." Aunt Huang saw her serious expression, and her heart shivered.

When Li Yan came out of Aunt Huang's house, she met many uncles and aunts who were going uphill to plant rapeseed seedlings.

All the way, everyone greeted enthusiastically, and Li Yan hurriedly responded loudly.

"Swallow, where are you going?"

It was Aunt Ding who was talking. Li Yan was very clear about the situation in their family. The man died early, and the son went out to work after graduating from junior high school. He came back once a year and usually stayed at home alone.

"Auntie, I want to go to the village chief's house."

"Swallow, don't go. I sent the medicinal materials there this morning. He said that he is going to study in the county today, and we can talk about it in two days."

Li Yan nodded and looked at Sanbo Niu who was speaking, "Uncle Niu, thank you."

He waved his hand and walked away quickly with the hoe on his shoulder.

Niu Sanbo is about the same age as his father, and he does not ask for a wife, and lives with his old mother. Apart from farming, his main income is going to the mountains to collect herbs.

After Li Yan brushed past them, she had nowhere to go.

The village head is not at home, it is useless to go there, but he wants to go back, but he is afraid that the two honest grandpas will go back to Lubatou Village.

By the way, take a long-distance bus to the county seat and drive your own car back.
