Splendid peasant girl busy farming

In the kitchen.

Mrs. Yu Zhong took out two baskets and showed one basket to Yu Zhong.

"These...they all delivered this morning!"

Cabbage, radish, eggs, dried bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, brown sugar, sugar dumplings, two pieces of cloth...

"There is also an old hen tied up in the chicken coop. It was given by xxx from the village, saying it was to replenish the health of our children..."

When the mother-in-law said this, she stopped talking about what these people had in mind when they sent these things. The couple felt enlightened.

Yu Zhong looked at these things on the ground and sighed in his heart, thinking that I have been a Li Zheng for more than ten years. Except when I usually talk a little decently in the village, who really treats you as a Zheng Zheng at other times?

If you go to borrow some salt or something from someone, you have to be favoured.

This time, because the noble man was in trouble, he temporarily settled here. When they got an opportunity, these villagers took action after hearing the news.

In order to get this opportunity to make money, these villagers secretly competed with each other and learned how to send gifts and bribes here?

"Master, what are you doing with these things? Hold them hot!" The mother-in-law had the same thoughts as Yu Zhong. She had never accepted these bribes before, and she felt very uneasy.

"These things are not hot, so let's accept them all," Yu Zhong said.

"Those who have given things away, as long as they can do activities, I will arrange places for them, and I will not let them lose their things. There is snow in the twenty-mile land, and the nobles also need manpower to handle things."

"The noble man will definitely be unhappy if he knows that we have obtained these benefits through their prestige. He will think that we are greedy..."

"Don't worry, this thing is nothing in the eyes of noble people."

If you want a horse to run, you have to give it some fodder, right?

In the final analysis, these things are just food for farmers and are not worth much money.

"With those two pieces of cloth, you can make a new pair of trousers for each of the children during the Chinese New Year."

"The old hen we sent will be killed later and used to entertain the nobles at noon!"

"There are also vegetables sent by the villagers, which are also cooked. Now that our family has to entertain guests, these things will be used. The nobles are watching. Ninety percent of the things we collected will be used by themselves. They will not fail to use them. happy!"

Since the head of the family said so, the woman took a reassurance, and the couple started working separately.

Yu Zhong went to the entrance of the village to "order troops and generals", while the woman stayed at home cooking vegetables.

Yang Huazhong and the others also cheered up. After breakfast, Yang Huazhong, Daan, and seven or eight guards also joined the snow shoveling team.

At this time, the team was at the entrance of the village. Good guy, Yu Zhong actually summoned more than 60 people in one day. With Yang Huazhong and others, the snow shoveling team steadily reached 80 people!

With eighty people, this battle still looks impressive.

Many villagers know that Yang Huazhong and Da'an are noble people, but Yang Huazhong looks no different from them, dressed as a simple farmer.

But Da'an is different. Da'an's temperament is completely different from theirs. He is poetic, elegant, dignified, and has the majesty of someone who has been in power for a long time.

But when facing this group of enthusiastic villagers, Da'an was able to control his majesty freely. He was neither arrogant nor too close. In short, he grasped the sense of distance very well, making the villagers awe and worship him and start working. And work harder.

Yu Zhong divided the eighty people into four groups, with twenty people in each group.

It is twenty miles from here to the station ahead, and each group is responsible for five miles of snow.

There are twenty people in each group, and twenty people are shoveling five miles of snow. This speed can completely keep up.

On the other side, the horses are also fed. After noon, they can hit the road and drive away, arriving at the inn twenty miles away before dark!

Seeing an opportunity, Yu Zhong told Yang Huazhong everything about the villagers last night, including the secret gifts given to Yu Zhong's family later. "...These people can't afford to get up early without any benefit. Now they are all so motivated. They are all here for the red envelopes!"

Yang Huazhong was not surprised by this, "We can't let people work in vain. We give red envelopes as a matter of course."

"As for the little gift, it's not worth mentioning. Just keep the cloth and other things. Those things were originally supposed to be given to you by us!"

Yu Zhong waved his hands hurriedly: "Brother Yang, I can't hold back my words so I tell you everything. Don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of asking you for anything!"

"I'm sincerely trying to help you. I miss our family. We haven't had a scholar in our family for several lifetimes."

"It is the virtue of our ancestors that the number one scholar can come to stay at my house now. The number one scholar is like the Wenqu star in the sky descending to earth. It is a blessing for my family to receive you. We are happy to receive you. Really..."

Yang Huazhong patted Yu Zhong on the shoulder: "You and I hit it off as soon as we met. Don't say anything. I'm committed to you as a brother!"

……

At Yu Zhong's house, Yu Zhong's wife was also cooking in full swing.

Mrs. Sun came over to help her.

When she saw that there were so many ingredients in the kitchen, especially when Mrs. Yu Zhong had killed another chicken, Mrs. Sun was really...

"Brother and sister, why are you killing chickens again? Didn't I tell you yesterday? Don't spend any more money on us!"

Stay for two days, kill two chickens, how to celebrate the New Year?

This is really embarrassing for Mr. Sun, really!

"Brothers and sisters, if you continue to eat like this, we will make your family poor!"

"I killed two chickens in two days. You don't have any chicken for the Chinese New Year. The snow must be shoveled. Once it is shoveled, we will go to the inn and leave a chicken for your family for the Chinese New Year!"

Sun covered her face, feeling really embarrassed!

But Mrs. Yu Zhong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? These chickens and ducks are not from my family!"

"Speaking of which, we have to hold your hand so that we can eat this chicken."

"Ah? How do you say this?" asked Sun.

Mrs. Yu Zhong then told the villagers that they didn't want to shovel the snow before, but later wanted to shovel the snow because of the red envelopes. Yu Zhong was so angry that he deliberately refused to give up the quota. In order to compete for the quota, these people all sent things to Mrs. Yu Zhong. I told Mrs. Sun about it.

"Sister-in-law, do you blame me for accepting these things without your consent?"

"Then it's still dark and you're still sleeping, so I can't wake you up to make up your mind..."

What's more, they are all radish, cabbage and the like, and the most valuable thing is this chicken and the two pieces of cloth in the house.

After Mrs. Sun learned all this, not only was she not angry, but she was very happy.

"Your family, Yu Zhong, has a method and does a good job!" Mrs. Sun immediately gave Yu Zhong a thumbs up.

"To be honest, my third son is also the most upright person in the village, and we are the most upright mother-in-law. I have seen many things happening here over the years. Sometimes, I am really annoyed!"

Just because the men in my family are honest and upright, many villagers in the village have many little thoughts.
