Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 79
In the end, it was Grandma Zhang who came up with a good idea. There are empty houses left by the widowed old people in the village after their death. Now they are all owned by the village. It is also possible to rent a room for them to live in.

The grandparents and grandchildren went to the patriarch's house overnight. After hearing this, the patriarch agreed without saying a word, and gave them the key to an adobe house not far from Grandma Zhang's house.

Zhang Xiaocao left half a tael of silver and agreed to lease it for one year.

Because the patriarch almost calculated Zhang Xiaocao today, he was embarrassed to accept her money, so he quickly refused.

Zhang Xiaocao teased: "Grandpa patriarch is doing selfish things for the public. Let people know, but it won't be guaranteed at the end of the festival. You should accept it anyway. Although our village is very harmonious, there are also some troublemakers. If people know about it, it will be troublesome if they make a fuss!"

Although the patriarch was a little unkind today, he also had difficulties. As the patriarch and village head, she didn't blame him for his responsibilities.

Hearing what she said, the patriarch stopped refusing and accepted the money.

Zhang Xiaocao asked them to take two bales of hay and three quilts to the adobe house to lay the kang. The kang was wide enough to sleep three people, but there were not enough quilts at home, so they had to sleep together. Grandma's bed was moved, and Mu Hua's was taken to the academy by him.

In the adobe house not far away, the three of them opened the thick door, and a smell of dust rushed in, making them sneezed several times at the same time!

The three of them looked around by the faint light of the oil lamp. Because no one lived in the house for a long time, there was a strong musty smell in the house. They saw that the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on an old table. The dust was thick, and the ground was so damp that it barely stuck to the soles of the shoes.

"Brother Gouzi, can people live in this house?"

Tong Xiao frowned and asked.

Qin Zhong slapped him on the head, staring and said: "Why can't people live? Back then, I braved the snow to leave the village in the winter, and almost froze to death. Even if there was a place that could shelter from the wind and snow, I wouldn't do it now." You got old cold legs at a young age! If you have a place to live, you can just let me live there honestly!"

Tong Xiao covered his head and muttered: "Isn't it just a question, why is it so fierce?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhong sighed and said, "It's a blessing for us to have the chance to reform ourselves, do those harmful things and live a normal life without having to worry about it every day. Thanks to the fact that we can escape from prison this time. Girl Xiaocao, it’s good enough to give us a house now, and we don’t need to eat and sleep in the open. We have to be satisfied and remember her kindness! Although we don’t have great skills and can’t do heavy work, we have done a lot of shady things in the past. However, from now on, whenever Miss Xiaocao has something to do in the future, we brothers must try our best to do it, and we must not do that ungrateful thing!"

Liang Yi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Brother Gouzi is right, we are not ungrateful, we don't bother to do that ungrateful thing! Before, I hated Zhang Baoyin, that bastard who didn't behave like a human being, but now it seems that it's not true." I have to thank him, otherwise, we will continue to do those shady activities, and we don’t know when we will be the boss!"

Tong Xiao was just complaining at first, but now that the two brothers had expressed their views, he didn't want to be left behind, so he quickly said: "Then let's stay in this Zhangjia Village, brother, I still count on Miss Xiaocao to beg for us. Where is the daughter-in-law!"

When the three of them thought that they could get a daughter-in-law one day, their hearts became very hot, and they looked forward to the beautiful days in the future even more!

Zhang Xiaocao, who was already in a deep sleep at this time, didn't know that because of her momentary soft-heartedness, she subdued the three young people, and helped her a lot in the days to come. When she actively expanded her agricultural kingdom, she played a huge role. role!

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaocao went to the town to buy things, and only Grandma Zhang was at home.

When the three of Qin Zhong came over, he saw twenty or thirty laborers eating. Qin Zhong saw Zhang Dazhu who treated the three of them fiercely yesterday. Thinking of the pain of being beaten yesterday, he flinched unconsciously, a little uncomfortable. comfortable.

Zhang Dazhu was eating porridge, but when he saw them coming, he stood there stupidly, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and eat, the little grass girl told us to ask the three of you to open up wasteland. If you don't eat, how can you eat?" Work hard?"

Qin Zhong and the others also heard last night that they had something to do today, so they came early. Now that they saw so many people going to work, it turned out that they were going to open up wasteland.

When everyone had eaten and went to the wasteland together, when Qin Zhong and the others saw the large piece of uncultivated wasteland that had been marked out, their faces were so wonderful, but under Zhang Dazhu's call, they honestly took the Shovel, pickaxe to dig up.

Although the three of them have suffered a lot since childhood, they have never done this kind of farm work. It takes strength to dig the ground and grass roots. The raking was painful, hot and painful, and several large blisters soon formed.

The three of them secretly complained, but they didn't dare to cry out, and they didn't dare to throw down the guy in their hands and walk away. Everyone did the same job. If you are tired, others are also tired. If others can bear it, so can they. It's a big man, it's fine to yell in secret, but if you really yell out, you'll be ashamed of yourself!

Seeing this, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Honestly looked at each other with a little smile on their faces!

Although the two of them were working, they stared at them from time to time. The two of them knew that these three guys had never done this before, and they didn't let them do lighter work today. Put it to the test, if they can endure this hardship, then they really want to reform themselves, if they complain and complain, the life of these people in Zhangjia Village is over!
Therefore, after seeing the performance of the three, they are also satisfied. They were worried last night that the little grass girl was too hasty, how could they control these three people, now it seems that the girl has a good vision!
Not to mention how hard Qin Zhong and the others were, Zhang Xiaocao came to the town early in the morning, first to buy some daily necessities for Qin Zhong and the others, and second to see if this year's new cotton seeds had arrived.

Since she started thinking about growing cotton last year, she had visited several shops that bought various crop seeds, but because almost no one in this area grows cotton, none of the shops sold cotton seeds.

So, at the end of last year, she made an agreement with the owner of a shop that she wanted cotton seeds, and the boss promised to bring some for her when he purchased the goods, and let her pick them up later in the year.

When she came to the door of a shop called Li Ji Seed Shop, the door of the shop was already open, and when she went in, she saw Boss Li who was counting the goods.

Zhang Xiaocao explained the reason for her visit, but Boss Li looked embarrassed, and finally said helplessly: "Girl, let me tell the truth, all the seeds here are bought from a wholesale seed shop in the county. Last time I wrote to you They said they want cotton seeds, but they don’t have them there. If they need them, they have to be shipped from other places. Originally, the cotton seeds are not expensive, but if the shipping fee is added, the price will increase exponentially. I originally wanted to I asked you if you wanted it, but I didn’t know where you lived, and there were urging questions there, so I pushed it away!”
