Chapter 226 Private life under the well
Grandpa Qin looked grateful and said with a smile: "Please tell the village chief, thank you for the reminder. I will ring the gong today to notify the villagers and let them prepare for the autumn harvest."

Thank you, Wu Sixheng felt a little hurt and couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing that Grandpa Qin had no intention of inviting him into the village, he made a few false promises and said, "I have to inform other villages, so I'll leave first. "

After saying that, he cupped his hands, turned around and left.

Qin Xiaomi didn't like the Wu family, so she was a little worried when she heard that the Wu family came to see her grandfather again. After seeing Grandpa Qin return to the workshop, he hurried out of the room where the secret recipe was prepared and asked: "Grandpa, who is here from the Wu family? What did he tell you? Did you mention what Master Huang said?"

There are many people in the workshop, so the question is cryptic.

Grandpa Qin shook his head: "I didn't mention that. It's Wu Sixheng who came to remind our village of the autumn harvest."

Qin Xiaomi frowned slightly: "That's it?"

She thought that Chief Wu had sent someone to apologize, but she didn't know that he didn't mention it... Could it be that he was trying to pretend that he didn't know that Wu Xingnan had gone to see Huang Yanglong?

Qin Xiaomi really guessed it right... Because of Uncle Wu's incident, Mr. Wu had already pretended to be a good person, and it would be too fake to do it again when he came to Wu Xingnan.

Therefore, Wu Lizhang simply pretended that he didn't know that Wu Xingnan had gone to Huang Yanglong and said that he would help keep an eye on the Qin family.

If the Qin family went to the Wu family to question him, he would say that he didn't know, then punish Wu Xingnan, and attribute the matter to the child's ignorance, and the matter would be over.

"Just this matter, nothing else was mentioned." Grandpa Qin said.

Qin Xiaomi was relieved and reminded again: "Grandpa, next time you are in a hurry, you have to bring two people with you... You are old. Even if you don't leave the village, someone must follow you, otherwise there will be an emergency , what should our family do?"

Grandpa Qin smiled, you are in charge of our family, just be good.

However, Grandpa Qin was still very happy to be cared about by his granddaughter. He smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa will remember it."

In order to reassure Qin Xiaomi, Grandpa Qin could only call Xiao Qinmao and Xiao Qin Sheng.

Both of them are about ten years old. Because they are young and have little ability, and unlike Qin Xiaogu who is a blood relative of Qin Xiaomi and can make secret recipe bags, they usually take care of the children or do odd jobs.

I was very happy and happy to be able to help Grandpa Qin at this moment. He quickly pretended to be serious and steady again, which made everyone laugh.

……

Because they were willing to spend money and hired many people, after six days, all the soybeans of Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and others were collected.

"Village Chief Qin, take a look at your house, is the harvest of soybeans okay?" The Sun family asked Grandpa Qin to check their dried soybeans.

Grandpa Qin grabbed a handful and weighed it. It was very light, which proved that it was very dry in the sun. He took a few more and put it in his mouth to bite. It’s also very clean, with no mud, pea pods or anything like that.”

The bean straw has also been dried and bundled.

As for the crop fields, Grandpa Qin had visited them two days ago. They had all been uprooted and the soil had been ridged so that the Qin family could directly sow seeds and grow vegetables.

Grandpa Qin saw that the Sun family did a good job, so he simply gave the Sun family the work of growing vegetables: "If your family is not in a hurry to harvest soybeans, you will help my family sow the vegetable seeds tomorrow, and I will give you thirty cents per acre of land." money."

"No money, no money, just let it go..." The Sun family was very grateful to the Qin family, but also felt ashamed, saying: "When we first settled in, our Sun family came to the west of the village because of the instigation of the Huang family. We robbed the dilapidated house, but the village chief didn't care about us and hired us women named Hu Qian and Sun San to work. This has already given us a way to survive..."

The Sun family members kept talking about their gratitude and couldn't stop themselves.

Old Man Hu got annoyed and jumped out: "Just remember the kindness of the village chief, don't talk nonsense... Also, the village chief's family is not short of these dozens of pennies. After you accept it, go to work hard. This Are you standing still and not getting paid because you want the village chief’s family to owe you?!”

The Sun family members were anxious: "We don't mean that, old man Hu, don't talk nonsense!" They had no choice but to agree to collect the money.

He also reminded: "Village Chief, it's getting colder and colder today. It's likely to snow in another half month. If you sow vegetable seeds at this time, I'm afraid the seeds won't survive."

Grandpa Qin said with a smile: "It's okay, I can eat vegetable seedlings when the time comes."

The workshop was too busy, and the family had to make secret recipe bags at night. Qin Xiaomi didn't want everyone to be too tired, so he stopped the women from several families and refused to let them raise vegetable seedlings, saying that they would not plant them at the worst.

But several families came here to escape famine, and they continued to pay people to sow seeds and vegetables wherever they were willing to leave the land empty.

"Sure. We listen to the village chief." The Sun family agreed.

Old Man Hu said again: "Brother Qin, quickly weigh it and see how much your soybeans yield per acre?!"

Old Man Chai, Zhang Niuwang, and Huang Laoer also came and wanted to see how many kilograms of soybeans Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao's family produced per acre?
"It's done." Grandpa Qin asked Qin Ying, Qin Jie, Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, Erjun and Sanjun to weigh the soybeans.

Grandpa Qin was very satisfied after hearing the report: "After drying, the lowest yield per mu is just over 200 kilograms, which is not bad."

The black soil with the highest yield is millet, with a yield of 500 kilograms per mu. This is a rare high yield in the Wei Dynasty!
Huang Laoer was overjoyed when he heard this: "The land in this ghost village is quite good. If the yield in our land can be as high, then the Huang family can survive this long winter."

Nowadays, the Huang family is the poorest in the village, the most short of food, and the most likely to die in winter.

But they deserved it, because they were instigated by Huang Wu and his wife, and because they were greedy for wild boars, they went to the mountains to hunt wild boars. As a result, they missed the opportunity to grab land, and in the end they only grabbed some barren land to open up wasteland.

Huang Lao'er and his wife are pretty good people, and they have been helping the Qin family keep an eye on the Huang Wu family. Therefore, Grandpa Qin said: "You Huang family, don't worry too much. Since I have become the village chief, I will try my best to prevent the people in the village from being raped." Starve to death and freeze to death.”

People in this village starved to death and froze to death, and the village chief, district chief, and the county government all had some responsibility.

"Thank you, village chief. Thanks to your words, I can finally have a peaceful sleep." Huang Laoer was overjoyed and very grateful. He added, "Thanks to your family's new dye business, otherwise we, the victims who fled the famine, would not be able to make a living." , I will definitely not survive this winter.”

Other villagers also said: "Huang Laoer is right. If it weren't for the village chief's family, many of us would have died this winter."

With the workshop, the women in the family have work to do and earn money for the family, so that they can buy warm clothes for the winter. Otherwise, even if they settle down, they will end up dying of cold and hunger.

Grandpa Qin didn't say any kind words... It was a good thing for these people to remember his family's kindness.

"Come to me and get your wages." Grandpa Qin said, and gave the money from the autumn harvest to the Sun family and several other people with surnames.

After the villagers got the money, they did not dare to disturb Grandpa Qin and left happily.

Grandpa Qin followed Zhang Niuwang and the others to see how the new well was being dug.

Cao Siwen and the others hung on ropes and worked underground while soaking wet. They worked for two-quarters of an hour at most before hanging up to rest. Another group of people took over from them and continued working down the well.

The people who came up were very tired, pale, and shivering from the cold because they were soaked.

When Grandpa Qin saw it, he couldn't help but said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing as they were almost half alive, it was no wonder that drilling a well was so expensive.

Cao Siwen smiled and said: "You who got money, why do you have to work so hard? After completing this task, we can survive the winter and no longer have to work for a living."

Thinking that more than half a month had passed, the Qin family had become more trusting of them, so they took the opportunity to talk about the old well: "Village Chief Qin, I have wanted to tell you for a long time that your old well needs to be repaired. . Bricks and soil have been falling off the wall of the well. If it is left unchecked, there may be a risk of collapse in a few years."
