The wife of time travel

Chapter 65

Four hundred mu of land is not enough for big landlords or powerful nobles, but Xu Xiaofu didn't plan to build a big mountain farm, he planned to build this land into a small village.

It took Xu Xiaofu a full month to finalize the design drawings. Naturally, he had to reclaim the wasteland first, and recruiting people was quite simple. There were several villages nearby, so Xu Xiaofu recruited people in the nearby villages.Fifty Wen per person per day, there are quite a lot of people here.Ding Xiaochen is familiar with the nearby villages, and Xiaochenzi is a nice person, so Xu Xiaofu entrusted him with full responsibility for this matter.

Now Xu Xiaofu is almost four months pregnant, and has almost entered the most comfortable second trimester. His appetite has increased, and he doesn't feel sick or vomit anymore. In addition, she doesn't need to be responsible for Zhuangzi's affairs, so he feels comfortable all day long. Confidently stay at home with Xie Qi and He Hua.

Ding Xiaochen is in charge of land reclamation, more than 400 mu of land is considered a lot, he knows his wife's plan.Madam even gave him the blueprints and asked him to take full responsibility for the matter.

Several nearby villages knew that a lady had bought this piece of wasteland and was busy recruiting workers to open up wasteland, so they all came over. The ordinary strong laborers Ding Xiaochen gave 25 Wen, and the older ones or women Ding Xiaochen also accepted it, but There is only [-] Wen per person per day.The old people and women who came here are naturally not comparable to the strong laborers, but they all stay at home and have nothing to do. Now they can earn [-] Wen a day and they are very satisfied.

The land reclamation started on the second day after recruiting people, because there were not many people at the beginning of recruiting, Ding Xiaochen didn't care about recruiting people, and would stay on the wasteland every day to check to see if anyone was lazy.

The surrounding villagers came one after another, and Ding Xiaochen asked everyone to stay. The wages are settled every day, which is very convenient, so everyone's enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high.Ding Xiaochen was busy enthroning the number of people that day, and two people came over not far away.Seeing those two people, Ding Xiaochen's complexion was a bit ugly. These two people were none other than Uncle Ding Maofa and Aunt Sun who had occupied his house and fields back then.

The two came under the thatched shed and saw that Ding Xiaochen was a little surprised. Ding Mao said with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Chenzi also came here to work? Aren't you sold to others as a slave? Why are you working here? You can't be Did you escape from the master's house?"

Mrs. Sun next to him pushed Ding Maofa, winked at Ding Maofa, and then came to Ding Xiaochen with a smile, "Xiao Chenzi, Auntie, I heard that there is fifty Wen for a day's work here. They didn’t pay you less, right? Tell me about you, your uncle and aunt had no choice but to sell you to someone else’s teeth. In fact, your uncle and aunt did it for your own good. If you follow us, you won’t be able to eat enough, right? , look at how good it is now, your master is really kind to you, and even let you come out to work, but who is your money for? Rich people don’t care about your little money, right? Xiao Chenzi, I But let me tell you, your money should be kept by me and your uncle, so it can be redeemed in the future, right? It’s not safe to put it on you. By the way, how many days have you worked here? How much money have you earned? ? I think you can hand over the silver to me and your uncle today, and where have you sold it now? Your uncle and I can go and see you in the future, right?"

Mrs. Sun said, looked around, snorted, and asked, "Xiao Chenzi, why don't you see anyone in charge here? Your uncle and I still want to come here to work, and it costs fifty yuan a day. Thank you." Ma'am is really generous."

Ding Xiaochen looked at the so-called uncle and aunt in front of him coldly, and was so angry that he really wanted to kick each of them.He snorted, "Uncle, aunt, my house and fields have been cheated by you, and people have been sold. What are you going to do now? Could it be that you even plan to steal my money for working?"

Sun frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? What do you mean by taking it away? Your house and fields will be kept by me and your uncle for you, and they will be returned to you when you marry Xiao Hua in the village. Alright, alright, don't talk about it, hurry up and hand over your wages for the past few days to me and your uncle for safekeeping, you are a real child!"

Seeing such shameless two people, Ding Xiaochen didn't bother to pay attention to them, and sat down on the stool angrily and drank tea.

Seeing Ding Xiaochen like this, Ding Maofa stared at him and said, "Xiao Chenzi, what are you doing sitting here? Are you in charge? Your aunt and I are still looking for a manager."

Ding Xiaochen sneered twice, and sat firmly on the stool, "What do you want me to do? I'm in charge here!"

When Ding Maofa heard the words from Mrs. Sun, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ding Xiaochen in disbelief. Only then did he realize that the material of his clothes was really good, and he was much more energetic.Sun pointed at Ding Xiaochen tremblingly, "Little...Xiao Chenzi, what's going on? You...how did you become a manager?"

This incident hit Mrs. Sun too much. At first, he thought that Ding Xiaochen was working here, but he never thought that he would be in charge.But isn't this little Chenzi a servant of someone else's family?How did you become a manager?

Ding Xiaochen smiled expressionlessly, "Didn't you just ask me where I sold it to? Let me tell you, I was lucky enough to be selected by the Xie family, and now I work with Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie bought these I am in charge of the wasteland now. Hey, do you want to come here to work? Let me tell you, it’s impossible!" Ding Xiaochen didn’t use his official business to avenge his personal revenge. Such a person would not be used.

When Ding Maofa heard the words with Sun, his face became ugly. Sun looked at Ding Xiaochen, his face turned pale, and after a while, he pointed at Ding Xiaochen, and said angrily: "Why don't you let me talk to your uncle? Working here? You are just Madam Xie's dog. If you do this, your uncle and I will go to Madam Xie and sue Madam Xie, accusing you of avenging yourself!" The two of them never thought that Ding Xiaochen would become a member of Xie's family. Now it's annoyed.

Ding Xiaochen didn't bother to talk to these two people anymore, he stood up from the stool and walked towards the wasteland.

Both Ding Maofa and Sun were very angry, but they couldn't help Ding Xiaochen, so they had to stand there and stare blankly.The two were angry, but they saw Ding Xiaochen running towards the other side, and they also looked over, and found a young woman with a slightly bulging abdomen, two children and a [-]-year-old maidservant with her. Several guards appeared on the wasteland.The two of them instantly understood that this should be Mrs. Xie, and they hurriedly walked towards the young lady.

Xu Xiaofu would also find time to bring his two children over to see the progress of the wasteland on weekdays. He said it was to see the progress of the wasteland, but in fact he took the two children out to play.Seeing Ding Xiaochen running this way, Xu Xiaofu smiled and said, "Is everything okay?"

Ding Xiaochen ran to Xu Xiaofu and stopped, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, everything is fine, more than 30 people have been recruited, and the young and strong labor slaves will be paid to them at 25 Wen a day. The older slaves will be paid to them at [-] Wen a day."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "Not bad..."

Just as he was talking, Xu Xiaofu suddenly saw two people in gray clothes walking towards her, and as soon as they came, the woman who seemed to be in her 30s smiled at Xu Xiaofu, "Ma'am , you are Mrs. Xie, right? Oh, what an honor, the rich can still see Mrs. General, hehe."

When Ding Xiaochen saw these two thick-skinned people following him, he was so angry that he turned his head and glared at them.

Xu Xiaofu raised his eyebrows and asked Ding Xiaochen, "Xiao Chenzi, what's going on?"

Ding Xiaochen was talking about the matter again, Mrs. Sun had already come to Xu Xiaofu first, Balabala spoke first, "Oh, you are Xiaochenzi's master, madam, you don't know, our little Chenzi is ungrateful Ah, that's an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. His uncle and I rushed over when we heard that Madam's wasteland wanted to recruit people, and wanted to help, but this little Chenzi didn't let us do it here. live!"

Ding Xiaochen was furious, "You're confusing right and wrong! Ma'am, it's not what they said at all. These two are my uncle and aunt, they...they don't like to work at all on weekdays, that's why I didn't let them work here .”

Mrs. Sun chuckled, "Little Chenzi, you can't wrong me and your uncle like this, tsk tsk, madam actually entrusted you with such an important position in charge, I think madam really misjudged the person!"

Xu Xiaofu glanced at Mrs. Sun, and said: "Since I leave the matter to Xiao Chenzi, he is in charge of everything here. Since he doesn't agree with you being here, you can go."

Sun was taken aback, "Ma'am?"

Xu Xiaofu ignored the woman, turned to Ding Xiaochen and said, "I know you can't read, so I found a helper for you, this is shopkeeper Zhou, who can help you keep accounts on weekdays and teach you how to read , after all, if it is possible, this Zhuangzi will be handed over to you in the future."

Ding Xiaochen happily thanked Xu Xiaofu, and finally bowed to shopkeeper Zhou next to him.Only then did Xu Xiaofu take the two children and Shan Cha away, and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.

This time Xiaohui also followed, but ran directly into the mountain, Xu Xiaofu ignored it, knowing that it would come back when the sun set.Xu Xiaofu took his two children to play at the foot of the mountain for a long time, picked a lot of mushrooms, and finally saw Xiao Hui rushing out with a fat pheasant in his mouth.

Xie Qi happily patted the chubby hand, and jumped on the spot, "The dog... is amazing!"

He Hua glanced at Xie Qi with a smile, and said, "Qi Er, this is a little wolf, not a dog."

Xie Qi glanced at He Hua suspiciously, then at Xiao Hui, frowned, pointed at Xiao Hui and said to He Hua, "Sister...a dog...a big dog."

He Hua couldn't resist him, and said with a smile: "Okay, Qi Er says it is whatever it is."

Xu Xiaofu then returned to Xie's house with a basket of mushrooms and fat pheasants.For dinner in the evening, there was stewed pheasant and mushrooms. Qi Er ate deliciously. After eating a small bowl of stewed pheasant and mushrooms, he also drank half a bowl of rice porridge. Then he patted his puffy stomach and said, "Mom... Father...sister...is full."

The weather was bright and clear in autumn, Xu Xiaofu and his two children had a rest in the front yard after meeting with Xiao Hui.In the evening, I talked with Xie Duanyu about the preliminary plan for going to the villa. Xu Xiaofu wanted to name the villa, so he asked Xie Duanyu, "General, what do you think is the name of this villa?"

This makes it difficult for Xie Duanyu, he is really not good at naming, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a name, Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "How about calling Xianlaiju?" Xu Xiaofu plans to come here in his spare time live for several months.

Xie Duanyu smiled and said, "That's a good name."

Xu Xiaofu's plan for this villa is that the planting area will be 150 mu, the greenhouse area for growing vegetables in winter will be about [-] mu, [-] mu will be used to raise poultry, and the remaining [-] mu will be used to build houses. Dozens of acres of Xu Xiaofujian have been turned into various recreational gazebos, lakes, lotus ponds and the like.

A month later, the villa has just been reclaimed, and then began to build houses, lakes, gazebos, lotus ponds, fish ponds and the like.

Xu Xiaofu handed over all these matters to Ding Xiaochen and Shopkeeper Zhou. One was in charge of personnel arrangements, and the other was in charge of accounts.Xu Xiaofu's wages are not bad, a family with more people can earn several taels of silver a month, and after autumn, more people come to work.

By the spring of the second year, the entire villa had been built, and Xu Xiaofu rented out the fields in the villa to the villagers in the surrounding villages, and it was enough to hand in a certain amount of food, vegetables and poultry every month.However, these people don't live in the villa anymore, they are just helpers who help with farming.In addition, Ding Xiaochen is the steward of the villa, and no one has lived in the villa except for some cleaning people.

Because it's spring, Xu Xiaofu immediately asked Ding Xiaochen to find some helpers. Xu Xiaofu's harvest per mu of land is lower than that of others, and the helpers are handed in according to the annual output. If there is a disaster year or the harvest is not good At that time, the helpers also turned in or did not hand in the grain according to this way, so soon all the more than 200 mu of planting and breeding had helpers, and basically all of them were distributed to the nearby Dingzhuang Village.

Dingzhuang Village is considered a very poor village, because Dingzhuang Village is a village where foreigners live, so there is no land, and they live by hunting in the mountains or helping others.Only a few aboriginal households surnamed Ding have a few acres of land.

People in Dingzhuang Village are naturally hardworking and lazy. Ding Xiaochen is very familiar with Dingjia Village, so the helpers are all hardworking.Naturally, Ding Maofa and Mrs. Sun did not get the land of the villa, so they rushed to Ding Xiaochen to argue, but Ding Xiaochen ignored them at all and had them kicked out.

What Ding Xiaochen didn't expect was that Ding Xiaohua, who was engaged to him, also came to look for him. Hearing someone tell him that Ding Xiaohua came to him, Ding Xiaochen didn't know what it was like.At the beginning, Xiaohua hated him because his mother died, and there was no one in the family, no house, no land, so she wanted to withdraw from her marriage, but before she returned, he had already been sold as a tooth by his uncle and aunt.
