Chapter 3246 Good News (Update 1)
As early as the beginning of autumn, almost half of the locusts that were ravaging the Mianniu Mountain area were dead.
This kind of insect has a very short lifespan. Half of it will die when the weather is cooler.
When the two autumn winds blow, they are almost dead.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and every household rushed to plant radishes at the end of August.
The land used to grow rapeseed in previous years is not going to be planted with rapeseed this year. All the land is planted with radishes.
Why?
Because everyone is really scared of hunger, they are just looking forward to planting radishes, and they will be able to eat radish vegetables in more than a month.
When the weather gets cold, you can still eat juicy, fragrant and crisp radishes.
As for the remaining fields, they must be reserved for planting wheat during the frost.
If you plant this winter wheat, you can have fresh wheat noodles in April or May next year. How great!
Of course, whether it is radish seeds or wheat seeds, they are all provided by the Yang Huazhong family. They are definitely not given away for free. They are lent or sold to the villagers.
When the fields are ready for use, they will regret the lack of them. Many villagers were short-sighted and sold their fields for a few taels of silver, leaving only two vegetable gardens at home.
Now that I see other people who have not sold their land, or have not sold all their land, who have fields to grow radishes, I feel really envious and regretful.
So, they thought of a way and found Yang Huazhong together.
I want Yang Huazhong to help go to the government to discuss whether the fields confiscated by Yang Zhenbang can be bought back and cultivated.
When Yang Huazhong mentioned this matter to Yang Ruoqing, Yang Ruoqing said: "Dad, to be honest, when Uncle Zhenbang escaped from prison, everything in his family was confiscated, including the five or six dollars he bought. Ten acres of land."
“I bought the fifty or sixty acres of land from the government.”
“Originally, I planned to wait until Xiaohua and Daan got married, and use the fifty or sixty acres of land as a dowry. For Xiaohua," she said.
When Yang Ruoqing said this, she said it in front of Sun and Xiaohua Xiaoduo.
Xiaohua blushed immediately, but her eyes were filled with shock and emotion.
Unexpectedly, Sister Qing'er had prepared so much for herself in private...
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Yang Huazhong was startled.
He glanced at Xiaohua, his daughter-in-law-to-be, with some embarrassment on his face.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "The folks found you here, dad, and you are upright. It would be bad if you don't solve this matter."
"Let's do this. You go to the village tomorrow to inform them. Tell them that the government originally wanted to sell those fields to a wealthy businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"The wealthy businessman's daughter will be married to Qing'an County. Come on, the wealthy businessman plans to buy a field here for his daughter, so he wants to buy it.”
“I don’t want the villagers’ fields to be taken over. They had no land to grow rice, so they paid a higher price to buy all the dozens of acres of land.”
“Ask the villagers to come and talk to me if they want to buy the fields back. "
"If you don't want to buy it back, you can also rent the land and just pay the rent on time. We are all fellow villagers, so it's easy to negotiate," Yang Ruoqing said.
His eyes fell on Xiaohua, "When Xiaohua and Da'an get married, let Xiaohua get married from my yard. These fields are contracted and Xiaohua comes to report to the official. They are your dowry."
"They will pay rent in the future. Son, just come and harvest it.”
“I will buy it back elsewhere when the time comes. When you get married to Da’an, I will make up for the dowry of sixty acres of land. "She said.
"Sister..."
Xiaohua was so moved that she was speechless.
Yang Huazhong and Sun next to them were also surprised and happy. They didn't expect that their daughter would support their daughter-in-law.
While Xiaoduo on the side was sincerely happy for Xiaohua, she couldn't help but think of herself. When she gets married...
"Xiaoduo, and you," Yang Ruoqing The voice sounded again. She looked at Xiaoduo tenderly, "I treat you and Xiaohua equally. It's not that I bought a dowry just because Xiaohua married Da'an."
"Sister, I am originally It’s planned that when you two get married, no matter who your husband’s family is, they will buy you a good dowry so that you can be strong in your husband’s family.”
"I will buy the same dowry for you two..."
"Sister, I'm still young, don't say these things to me..." Xiaohua was also shy and hid behind Mrs. Sun. .
Sun laughed.
Yang Ruoqing also smiled and said: "I know you are thin-skinned. Originally, I didn't intend to say these words. Didn't our father talk about buying and selling land today? I just said it. It’s good that everyone knows what’s going on.”
Sun also quickly said to Xiaoduo: “Women will get married sooner or later, so there is no need to be shy.”
Xiaoduo then stood up from behind Mrs. Sun, and Xiaohua came over, pinched Xiaoduo gently, smiled at her and winked.
Xiaoduo’s face turned redder.
Yang Huazhong went out to do errands in the village. The ladies here were joking together, Xiao Duo held Sun's arm and acted coquettishly, and Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Hua laughed beside them.
It was as if the mother and her three daughters were having fun. The eldest and second sisters were teasing the younger sister together. The atmosphere in the room was harmonious and warm.
A pair of envious eyes watched quietly at the back door of the house. After all, Tweety's footsteps did not collapse into the house.
Then he turned around and left sadly...
Back in his room, Cui Er's face completely fell.
Xiaohua Xiaoduo is an orphan girl who was picked up from outside by Qing'er's cousin, but their family can treat their sisters with such heart-wrenching love.
He also gave Xiaohua the husband of the No. 1 Scholar, Da'an's cousin. Oh my god, why is this little flower so anxious for such a good life?
Tui'er took out the small bronze mirror from under the pillow, put it in front of her and looked at it carefully.
This small bronze mirror was given to her by Xiaohua on the second day she came here.
Cui'er looked at the girl's face in the bronze mirror. It was obviously many times prettier than that little flower. Why could the little flower become the first lady and be given sixty acres of land as a dowry? I have such a good destiny,
but I, Tweety, don’t have it?
But I can only rely on others here, acting cautiously like a maid, looking at people's faces?
When my mother entrusted me to them, she asked them to help me keep an eye on my husband's family.
But almost three months have passed, and there is no news from my husband’s family.
This is obviously perfunctory!
The more Cui'er thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and her face became as gloomy as a dense dark cloud.
Finally, she smashed the small bronze mirror Xiaohua gave her to the ground, then stepped on it with her feet...
At the end of September, the beginning of October, when she was growing up When the villagers of Ping Village began to pick the first batch of radish vegetables to satisfy their hunger, good news came from the town.
Sun Dajie of the Sun family won the exam!
The news reached Changping Village, and the Sun family and the Yang Huazhong family were extremely happy.
Although the Sun family belongs to Sunjiagou, it is not an honor for Changping Village that Dajie has passed the examination.
However, the villagers in Changping Village were still excited.
The excitement has two sides.
On the one hand, Dajie studied and grew up in Changping Village, which shows that Changping Village is a good place with outstanding people.
Secondly, if Sun Dajie wins the prize, the Sun family will definitely set up a flowing banquet to greet everyone. Then they can have a full meal and have a nice meaty meal. It's great!
