The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 227 Good News

In Sanli Town, it was as peaceful as before.No, compared to the past, the area at the entrance of the town is more lively.After all, the new year is over, and the businessmen who pursue profits are always the most industrious. At this time, they have already set off to the south to find the most popular silks, satins, jewelry, and various things in spring.

For this reason, the tea stalls in the town set up a few more tables and chairs for the guests to rest and drink tea, and also gathered some familiar folks to chat and talk, to boost their popularity.

Seeing the sun rising into the sky, the teapot on the stove was buzzing and emitting white mist, urging the old man who guarded the tea stand to come forward to pick it up.

But the old man obviously did not let the kettle down, he quickly rescued its burning buttocks, and finally poured hot water into small white porcelain teapots one by one, and sent them to each table.

This season is still a few days away from the beginning of spring, but it is also vaguely out of the severe cold of winter. It is a rare anxious time, and it is also the last leisure time cherished by the villagers.

Someone held a warm teacup to keep warm, looked at the snowy field with black soil looming in the distance, and asked the neighbor next to him, "Brother Hu, have you heard? Old Xiongling directly planted the corn seedlings. In autumn, when we went home to break the corn sticks, it was a full [-] days early, not only did not suffer from frost damage, but the harvest was [-]% higher."

The neighbor who was asked was obviously taken aback, but turned a little blushing, and whispered, "I just heard about it too, and I wanted to talk to you, but I forgot after being busy for two days."

Someone next to him spoke quickly and directly exposed this poor excuse, "Old Hu, you want to secretly go to Lao Xiong Ling to sign up, are you afraid that others will snatch it first?"

"No! I don't know the people in Laoxiongling, and I don't have any relatives. I'm afraid we won't be able to share if we go there."

Lao Hu quickly retorted, and everyone nodded.In fact, everyone has heard the news, and naturally they are heartbroken.

People regard food as their heaven, and farmers regard fields as their roots.There is nothing more enviable than a good harvest!

But the news released by Lao Xiongling was only given to relatives and friends, and did not promise to outsiders.Although they are tempted, they can't be cheeky and come to ask for it.After all, there are only a few greenhouses in Laoxiongling, and how many corn seedlings can be bred, which is enough to plant several acres of land.How could it not be their turn...

However, this makes some people even more hateful.

"Do you think that the old Wu family is out of their minds? How could they offend such a good in-laws? If my daughter married to Lao Xiongling, I'm afraid I could wake up from my dreams with laughter. The Wu family is good, and they will be so happy every day. My daughter pushed it out. Otherwise, the same in-laws would need thousands of corn seedlings at this time, even if we don’t plant them ourselves, it’s better to give them to our neighbors.”

"Isn't that right? This family is stupid. They cut off their blessings. I see them, and they will regret it later."

"Don't talk about it in the future, I regret it now. Yesterday, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family asked about Lao Xiongling. I don't know if she wants to come to make amends?"

"Who knows, she is a restless person, and the people in Laoxiongling are not stupid. Such relatives might as well not be quiet."

Everyone was jealous or regretful, drinking tea and gossiping together. It was a lively time when suddenly two sledges turned off the main road, followed by a dozen fully armed knights.

Someone with sharp eyes recognized the man from Old Xiongling sitting on the sledge, so he stood up excitedly, but he wanted to say hello and was a little afraid of the knights following him, so he froze in place for a while.

I don't want to, but the horse sledge stopped in front of the tea stand. The man who drove the horse was Uncle Guo from Laoxiongling Village. The Wu family who is a mason, is anyone at home?"

The Wu family?

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard it, and seeing Yingzi whose eyes were red from crying on the horse sledge, the small tea shed was immediately ignited by gossip.

"Yeah, I saw Wu's daughter-in-law coming out to buy tofu in the morning."

"Yes, I just passed by the door, and there are fireworks in his kitchen, so there must be someone at home."

Uncle Guo cupped his hands and thanked with a smile, "Okay, thank you folks. If you have free time, go to our Laoxiongling for a sit down. Keep it safe and enjoy the meat."

As he spoke, he flicked his whip to drive the sledge forward.

The people in the tea shed couldn't bear it any longer, so they hurriedly stepped forward to stop the sledge, saluted with a flattering smile, and asked, "Just now we all talked about our old Xiongling, it's hard to meet, why don't we come down and have a drink?" Mouth hot tea!"

"Hey, talking about our Old Bear Ridge?"

Uncle Guo seemed to be a little puzzled, but suddenly realized, "Have you heard the news that we, Laoxiongling, are sending budding seedlings in spring?"

"Exactly, big brother. You also know that our solar terms are too short here, and the autumn frosts are early. After a year of exhaustion, we still have to worry about not being able to collect a few corns. If we can learn from your old Xiongling, we can directly The seedlings are planted in the ground, so they will not be afraid of frost. If you harvest two more loads of grain in autumn, the old and young in the family can have a few full meals!"

"That's the truth. Last fall in our village, we only planted an acre and a half in the front and back of the house, and the harvested grain was enough to feed the family for half a year. This is really a good idea."

On the horse sledge, a villager from Laoxiongling also responded, which greatly encouraged everyone in the tea shed, so they all dared to ask, "Do we have surplus corn seedlings in our village? We also want to share some light with them." Son."

Uncle Guo thought for a while and said, "The elders in our village said that we will stop growing vegetables in a few days, and all the greenhouses will be vacated to raise corn seedlings. It is true that selling vegetables makes money, but for so many years, it has been favored by villagers from ten miles and eight villages. Take care, we can’t have a good harvest, and everyone can’t get back the food. However, no matter how many seedlings are raised, it is really not enough to distribute to all the villagers. Therefore, the first batch is for relatives and friends, and the second batch can be distributed to everyone. Son. If anyone has a field and wants corn seedlings, they can go to the grocery store in our city to report the names of famous people in the village in the past two days. A family can only send corn seedlings with a maximum of two acres of land. Don’t be too little, everyone. Take some light. If you get to the back of the queue and really don’t get your turn, folks, don’t be upset, there are really limited corn seedlings.”

"Really? Are you serious?"

"Great, great, I want to sign up! My family happens to only have two acres of land."

"I'll sign up too. I can't control so much whether I get ranked or not. I have to try."

"Thank you to the brothers of Laoxiongling, you are so righteous, such a good thing will never forget everyone!"

In the tea shed, everyone cheered almost immediately. Those who have land at home naturally rejoice in the hope of a good harvest in autumn, and those who have no land also want to go back and report a letter to relatives and friends who have land. Such a good thing cannot be missed.

However, everyone is happy because they are happy, but they have not forgotten the etiquette.Someone asked loudly, "Brothers, are you going to Wu's house for something? Do you want everyone to help you?"

Uncle Guo's face darkened when he heard the words, and he sighed, "Speaking of which, our old Xiongling asked himself that although he has a bad temper, he has never bullied a fellow countryman. But this Wu family is too hateful. Previously, our old Xiongling When faced with a lawsuit, the Wu family was afraid of being involved, and even their own daughter and grandson were not allowed to enter the house.

We Yingzi are stubborn, so we kowtowed and said we had broken off the relationship. They regretted finding the village, but we ignored it.I don't think there is resentment in their family. Someone came to look for a lady we saved when the earthquake happened the day before yesterday.The Wu family happened to leave people to rest, and actually slandered us, Lao Xiongling, to sign a death contract to do hard work, and ended up causing a catastrophe. If the misunderstanding was not cleared up in time, we, Lao Xiongling, might suffer another disaster up.

To act like this is really vicious like a snake and a scorpion.We are here today to ask for an explanation, to ask the Wu family, how can our old Xiongling feel sorry for them, and want to entrap us like this? "

Everyone originally guessed that Yingzi had made a big mistake in her husband's house and was sent back to her mother's house. How could they have thought that there was such an inside story, so they were all stunned.

Someone shouted, "No wonder the daughter-in-law of the Wu family asked me this morning if she had heard of any movement in Lao Xiongling? It turned out to be the reason for this. She is really not a good person!"

"Bah, that's simply ungrateful!"

"That's right, let's all go and have a look. If there are such bad-hearted neighbors, maybe we will suffer in the future too. We can't keep them to live with."

Talking like this, everyone in the tea shed stood up.

Uncle Guo hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks, "Thank you folks for your righteousness, but the Wu family is Yingzi's natal family after all, and we, Lao Xiongling, have our own disposal, and all the folks can help to be a witness. Don't spread the word and misunderstand us, Lao Xiong. Ling is bullying people."

"Don't worry, everyone is not a fool, you can see clearly!"

With a flick of the whip, the horse sledge started again, someone led the way, and soon arrived at Wu's house.

In the courtyard of the Wu family, Mrs. Wu was washing her clothes. Her daughter-in-law Hongyun grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat under the eaves of the porch while eating and pondering. Occasionally, her mother-in-law gave her a bad look, so she puffed out her stomach. The mother-in-law immediately accepted the complaint, bowed her head and continued to wash clothes.

Hong Yun continued to kowtow melon seeds proudly, but couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Could it be that those big men didn't have the bad luck to go to Lao Xiongling?Why has there been no news for two days?

Boss Wu opened the door and came in from the outside, Hong Yun immediately stood up and asked, "How is it, but I found out, Lao Xiongling..."

In the middle of her speech, she remembered that her mother-in-law was still there, so she changed her words, "Come on, go into the room and say, it's cold outside!"

Boss Wu's complexion was not good, and he raised his foot to enter the house, but was stopped by Mrs. Wu, "Did you two hide something? Why do I see something is wrong, is something wrong with your sister?"

"No, no." Boss Wu hurriedly waved his hand, and Hong Yun also said, "Mother, you got it wrong, we're just talking casually."

"No, please explain quickly, what is the matter?"

Mrs. Wu didn't care about washing the clothes, so she asked her son to ask about it. Mr. Wu couldn't fight with his mother, so she said, "Old Xiongling said that he would distribute the budding seedlings to relatives and friends. Our family... definitely doesn't have it. I just asked. Ask, listen to something new."
