Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 134 Patrolling the Fields
It's spring sowing, and everyone in Lujia Village is busy.After a winter of waiting, everyone has made great preparations for the arrival of spring.

In Yunzhou, rice is mainly sown in spring.Before the rice is planted, the seedlings should be raised, and when the seedlings grow to a certain extent, they are transplanted into the seedling fields.The seedling field is not a place where the seedlings live for a long time. Wait until around the beginning of March in the lunar calendar to pick the seedlings from the seedling field and transplant them.

There is also particular attention to transplanting rice seedlings. The first day of transplanting rice seedlings is called "opening the door of rice seedlings".Housewives should prepare meals, wine and meat for family members and helpers to have dinner together.When planting rice seedlings between meals, each person has to eat an egg, which means "to win the prize".

Su Yun picked up the date and waited for the "opening the seedling door" day. He boiled a basket of eggs and took the whole family out. First, he went to another family's field and shared the eggs with everyone with a smile. .

Seeing Su Yun like this, the villagers were a little confused. Why didn't she send eggs to her family for work?

Curious for a while, he secretly followed Su Yun to see what the hell she was up to.

Su Yun's family has dry land, so the crops are naturally not rice, but winter wheat.Planted in autumn last year and harvested in late spring.At this time, the winter wheat in the field was growing well, and it was about to be harvested.

Su Yun led the children around the field, feeling like he was patrolling his own territory.The villagers who followed secretly were even more puzzled: What exactly is Su Sanniang going to do?
The only thing that feels uneasy is the tenant who is now planting the land.It was an outsider, surnamed He, surnamed Da.He Da looked at Su Yun wandering around here, feeling very uneasy.I heard before that the main family is going to take back the fields...

No, speaking of it, this field is not owned by the Lu clan, but by the little girl in front of me.And this woman is a formidable person. A widow who made the patriarch's family look like that, I heard that this place will be taken back.

Did she come here today to reclaim the land?He Da's family, who were working in the fields, felt anxious. If Su Sanniang wanted to take the land away now, then their family would have to drink the northwest wind this year.

He was panicking, but saw the little girl beckoning to him, He Da did not dare to neglect, his family was originally an outsider, now that the rightful owner is here, how dare he neglect?
Busily put down the work in hand, trotted to Su Yun, bowed and said: "Little man He Da greeted his wife..."

Yunzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It is different from the north. The humble people call the venerable married women "wife", while in the north they call them "grandma".

Su Yun waved his hand, smiled and said kindly: "Uncle He, you don't need to be too polite."

Hearing that Su Yun called him like that and knew his name, He Da's heart sank again.This woman was indeed as rumored, after surviving a catastrophe, she became very shrewd and not easy to fool.

Thinking of a year of hard work, and seeing that it will be rewarding, but this incident happened, He Da only felt a little dark in front of his eyes, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

"Uncle He, I came here today to take a look at the crops in the field. The growth looks good. How much grain do you think this mu of land can harvest this year?"

Although he was bitter in his heart, he didn't dare to neglect Su Yunhe, wiped the sweat off his brow, and became more respectful, "Mrs. Hui, the weather is good this year, and the crops are growing well. The villain guessed This year, this mu of land can harvest at least 140 catties of grain."

Su Yun frowned, one mu of land only has more than 100 catties of grain?This is too little, right?Later generations can harvest eight or nine hundred catties of wheat!Considering technical issues, let's make a discount, the three or four hundred catties must be there, right?

Su Yun grew up in the city in his previous life, how did he know the way?In this ancient time, if the yield per mu was two hundred catties, it would be a miracle, and it would be reported to the imperial court.

The weather is good this year, and the average yield of 140 jin of wheat per mu is already a very good harvest.If it is rice, the harvest can be higher, reaching about 200 catties per mu, which is why paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River are far more expensive than dry land.

Seeing Su Yun frowning, He Da became more and more nervous.But as a newcomer, he has a stuffy personality and a clumsy mouth. After opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn't utter a single word. He really didn't know what to say to Su Yun.

It feels very strange to him now.It was Lu patriarch who wrote the land lease contract at the beginning, but now Su Sanniang appeared again, and after a long time he realized that the patriarch was not the rightful owner of this land, but this was the one in front of him.

He had only been in this village for a short time, so how could he know the twists and turns, seeing that the patriarch was willing to take them in and only charged 4% of the rent, he happily kowtowed to the patriarch Lu thinking that he had met a good person.

The last time Su Sanniang made a fuss, he went to inquire again, and was immediately dumbfounded.After working on it for a long time, the patriarch Lu is really a big villain, taking other people's fields to be a good person.

Now that the rightful owner has come to her, should I return my field to her?Or renew the contract?So what should Patriarch Lu say?There has to be an explanation for this, right?
During this period of time, He Da's family has been sleeping restlessly, thinking about this matter over and over again, and the whole family is at a loss, not knowing how to deal with this matter.

Just when He Da was thinking about it, Su Yun opened his mouth, took out a few chickens from the basket, and said to He Da: "Uncle He, you have worked hard for me in farming, take these chickens back to eat Let's make up for the children..."

"This..." He Da was dumbfounded, what does this mean?How did she become a farmer for her?
Seeing that He Da didn't take over for a long time, Su Yun pursed his lips and smiled, stuffed the egg into He Da's hand, and said: "Uncle He, you must know everything about this field, right? This is my family's land, now Well, I give you two choices."

He Da's heart trembled, and then he sighed again, it should always come, there is no way to avoid it.He couldn't help but hang his head, and said in a low voice: "It's all up to the wife to decide."

Su Yun pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Uncle He is a loyal person, and I, Su Sanniang, are not mean. This winter wheat is about to be harvested, Sanniang can wait a little longer, and let you collect this batch of grain before harvesting it." Pay me back..."

"Really, really?" He Da raised his head in disbelief, and his family members surrounded him, with disbelief showing on their faces.

According to the rumors of the villagers, Su Sanniang is similar to that tiger aunt, and she is not easy to mess with.Now that he is so talkative, he suddenly feels that his family has been fooled again?
Su Yun nodded vigorously, and said: "Although I, Su Sanniang, am a woman, I also know the truth that people can't believe what they say. I said that I will do it after you harvest the grain and then the land."

He Da knelt on the ground excitedly after hearing this, kowtowed his head and said, "On behalf of my family, I would like to thank my wife for your kindness."

Then he turned his head and said to his family: "Dalang, Erlang, mother-in-law, what are you still doing? Kowtow to your wife!"
