Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 90 Selection of tenants

The next day, Shopkeeper Li came again with five men.

Three of them are probably in their forties, one is in their fifties, and the other looks very young, probably only about 20 years old.

"Mrs. Han and Miss Han, these two are father and son, surnamed Li, and I can be regarded as distant relatives. Don't worry, Mrs. Han, I will never do that kind of favoritism. They are both honest people, and They are all good farmers." Li Kaishi pointed to the two people standing together, one of whom looked to be only 20 years old.

When the two men heard Li Kaishi mentioning them, they nodded cautiously, with a little simple and honest smile on their faces.

Li Kaishi introduced another three people: "These three are farmers from neighboring villages. I only got to know each other through someone's introduction. You three should tell me your names."

"The young one's name is Liu San, and his family is in Qingxi Village. This is the young one's cousin, named Zhu Kai. Both the young one and his cousin are small farmers, and they are quite diligent in their work." In his fifties The man dragged the forty-something man beside him and took two steps forward.

Han Duyue nodded slightly and looked at the last person.

The man clutched the hem of his clothes cautiously, and when he came forward, he swallowed nervously: "The small one... the small one is called Shishi, and I have been serving the crops since I was a child."

After the introduction of these people, they all looked at Li Kaishi eagerly, only the last Shishi who spoke was still staring nervously at Han Duyue.

Li Kaishi coughed lightly: "Mrs. Han, Miss Han, these people sound good to me, but it's up to Mrs. Han and Miss Han to decide who to keep."

"Mother, Xiaonian, I have a proposal, I don't know if it is suitable." Han Duyue first glanced at Li Kaishi gratefully, and then moved his gaze to Han Qingmei and Xiaonian.

Now Han Qingmei has always respected Han Duyue's views, she nodded immediately after hearing this: "What good suggestion does Xiaoyue have?"

"Since our family's land is now divided into three parts, why not decide who owns the land? What does mother think?" Han Duyue asked with blinking eyes.

Han Qingmei didn't understand for a while: "Whose land is in charge? What does this mean?"

"Mother, it's not that Xiaonian and I each have ten acres of land. Do you have five acres of land? Then Xiaonian and I have to rent out our land to whom to plant, and Xiaonian and I have to discuss it ourselves." It's the final decision. But of course, we won't interfere with what you grow in your field." The reason why Han Duyue made such a proposal is actually because he wanted to exercise Xiaonian.

Han Duyue plans to send Xiaonian to a private school when autumn comes, and there is no such thing as a private school in Qingyuan Village, so it is estimated that Xiaonian will definitely leave home by then.

Not to mention Han Qingmei, even Han Duyue felt very sad when she thought of Xiaonian leaving home at such a young age.

In order for Xiaonian to become independent as soon as possible and take better care of herself, Han Duyue had to find a way to train Xiaonian so that she could feel more at ease.

As for the matter of farming, Han Duyue thought of a method, which was to enable Xiaonian to have independent thinking ability and make decisions without relying on others.

Xiaonian didn't know what Han Duyue's plan was. He heard Han Duyue's words and cheered immediately: "Okay, I can make my own decisions now!"

"But although the two of you have gone to the fields to help before, but after all, you didn't..." Han Qingmei was a little worried.

Han Duyue smiled and took Han Qingmei's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, we haven't experienced this kind of thing before, and we don't know much about it, but aren't there some masters brought by shopkeeper Li? They are all good farmers.”

"This..." Although Han Qingmei was still worried, she nodded hesitantly when she saw her daughter acting like a baby, "That's fine, but you can't mess around."

"Your mother is watching from the side, how could we mess around?" Han Duyue and Xiaonian looked at each other, both of them were very happy.

And the first thing to face next is to choose tenants, Han Duyue turned to look at the five people, and his face became serious: "Five masters, you just heard that our land is divided For three shares, my brother and I each have ten acres of land, and my mother has five acres of land. Which of you would like to rent and plant my brother’s land, and who would like to rent and plant my mother’s land?”

The five of them looked at me and I looked at you, all a little uncertain, only Shitou said nervously: "I... I am willing to rent and plant Miss Han's land."

"Why is that?" Han Duyue looked at the stone suspiciously.

Shi Shi glanced at Li Kaishi nervously, as if he was a little nervous: "Actually, after shopkeeper Li found me and explained the situation, I... went to see the land of Han's family. The 25 mu of land was fertile land, but I I think Miss Han's ten mu of land is the best. And Miss Han's ten mu of land is right next to a small ditch. Although the ditch is not big, it's better than nothing."

Hearing this, Han Duyue's eyes lit up immediately. She thought that the stone looked so nervous before, would there be something wrong with it, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.

Moreover, after listening to shopkeeper Li's words, this person could think of coming to the site for field inspection, it seems that he is very flexible.

"Are you really willing to rent my land?" Han Duyue asked again.

This time Shitou thought about it, but he didn't nod in a hurry, but asked: "Miss Han, I'm fairly familiar with farming. Before deciding what to plant, can Miss Han discuss it with me?"

"It's natural. I only know a little about farming, and I will definitely ask Master Shishi to teach me a lot." At this time, Han Duyue had already decided to rent his land to Shishi.

For such a flexible and responsible tenant, no one would miss it.

Shitou let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, and nodded seriously: "I want to rent Miss Han's land."

"Okay, then I'll leave my land to you." Han Duyue also nodded, and then she turned to look at Xiaonian, "Xiaonian, my sister has already chosen, and it's up to you next. "

The stone retreated directly to the side, leaving four people standing in a row.

Seeing that there were only two opportunities left to choose from, the four of them became impatient. Liu San dragged his cousin and stood in front of Xiaonian: "Young master, I will give you ten acres of land. Xiao and Xiao’s cousin, we will definitely help you take care of the land.”

Xiao Nian looked at the two of them for a while, then poked his head to look at the other two, and asked innocently: "Aren't you two willing to plant my land?"

"Young master, what are you talking about? Of course the young one wants to rent the young master's land, but it will only happen if the young master takes a fancy to us." Li Chuan smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Nian blinked, and asked again: "Actually, I don't know who to choose, why don't you all tell me what you want to grow in my field."

Hearing this, Liu San took the lead and said: "The villages near us mostly grow soybeans, and the small ones think that growing soybeans is perfect."

"Then what do you think?" Xiaonian looked up at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan thought for a while, and said earnestly: "Just now I heard from Miss Han that your family has a total of 25 acres of land. Although the 25 acres of land have been divided into three parts for planting, the young one feels that it is a family's land after all. , so what to plant still has to be discussed. Firstly, the purpose of planting the land is to keep enough food for the family, and secondly, to sell some money, so which kind of things are suitable for the family to eat and use, and which kind of things are worth the price this year. These have to be taken into consideration.”

"Hmph, glib, I don't think there is any need to think about it so much." Liu Sanyi's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard that Li Chuan said so much all at once.

Xiao Nian's eyes turned around the four of them, and finally said: "Master Li, I want to ask your son to help me farm, what do you think?"

Li Chuan immediately smiled when he heard the words: "The young one is naturally willing, but the young one is very curious, why did the young master choose my kid?"

"Because I found that when you and Master Liu were talking just now, although your son didn't speak, he had written on his face whether he agreed or disagreed." Xiaonian blinked and said with a smile.
