Chapter 875: One Item I Didn’t Dare to Receive
She called the village head and said, "Erliuzi, you are the village head now. This land is big, not the small plots of dozens of acres on the mountain. You have to pay attention to it. Before winter comes and freezes, you have to have people plow these fields. Just plow deeply, there is no need to level the ground."
The second-rate guy should be happy.
Zhou Guo looked at the wheat stubble on the ground and said, "Wait a few days for the manpower to be transferred here, and you organize people to burn the wheat stubble on the field..."
After thinking about it, I was still worried and worried that something might happen. "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Within two days, the refugees arrived.
Looking at such a large piece of good land, I couldn't believe my eyes.
There is no other reason. I have been staying in the salty and bitter land for a long time, and all I see every day is that kind of land. When I suddenly see so many good lands, it feels like a dream.
Among the people who came, there were quite a few junior stewards who asked Hu Zi, "Chief Steward Hu, all these lands belong to the boss? Are we going to farm here and not go back?"
Hu Zi said, "You guys are dreaming. This is someone else's land that the landlord rented for only one year."
"One year? Why only one year?"
"Yeah, why can't we rent it for a few more years?"
Hu Zi said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Do you think you can find out the boss's decision? Go to work."
The old man came from the farm and saw such a large piece of land. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. This land is good and fertile. Vegetables will definitely grow well."
He now wants to grow vegetables wherever he goes.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "There is so much land at home that is not enough for you to grow vegetables. Why do you come here to grow vegetables? I rented these lands from others. I have only rented them for one year. If you grow these vegetables, you can't grow them next year."
The old man said, "I'm just nagging. I know you rented it from someone else, but this land is really good. Although it's a little small, it's fertile. You don't find it in other places."
After a pause, he said, "Except for your salty and bitter land."
There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
Zhou Guo pretended not to hear and started to mobilize everyone to burn the wheat stubble. There were people guarding everywhere, waiting for the fire to spread and over the ground before putting it out.
At this time, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and it is the most likely time for a fire to start.
It was late autumn, everything was withering, the autumn wind was cold, thick smoke was rising, and ashes from burning cigarettes were floating everywhere.
The ground was crackling with fire. Zhou Guo smelled the unique scent of wheat stubble in the air. It felt extremely intimate, and a lot of the bleakness of autumn was blown away.
The old man said, "It's very lively, it feels almost like the beginning of spring."
Every spring, when each household in the village prepares the land, they gather up the dead branches, leaves and hay in the fields and burn them on fire. The fields, which have been silent for a winter, become bustling with activity.
The atmosphere of that time is really there now.
Zhou Guo said, "Winter will come soon. My uncle will come out once before winter comes. After we finish here, Master, we will go to Huaiyang."
The old man nodded and said, "Then let's go early. It will get colder the further back we go."
It's even harder to walk when it's cold.
On the other side, Li and his group had already set out from Cangshan Village.
Zhou Mai and others have all come out and asked for leave from their husbands. After the weather gets cold, they will probably have to wait until the New Year before they can see Zhou Dacang again.
Mrs. Li sat in the carriage, looking at the distant door and said, "There are people coming to our house every day these days, more than when the new grain was planted before. I don't know what Guoguo has done outside."
Actually, this is the time when pine mushrooms are in season, and the whole family is very busy.
But every day this big customer comes to visit, that big customer comes to visit, I am so annoyed that I can't do my job.
It just so happened that Wu Jiang came back, someone took over, and the whole family ran away.
Wu Jiang also sighed. No matter how capable he was, he was just a servant. Could he really come out to entertain people?
……
Zhou Guo burned the wheat stubble and took the old man to Huaiyang.
By the time they arrived, Zhou Dacang had already been there for a while.
Zhou Guo said happily: "Uncle, when did you come out?"
Zhou Dacang said, "We just arrived a while ago. Let's go inside to warm up. Why don't you prepare a carriage in this weather? It will be so cold riding on a horse."
Zhou Guo chuckled, "A carriage can't run fast, but riding a horse is much faster and less cumbersome. How long will you be out this time? Are you sure you won't be out for the whole winter?"
When she entered the house, she was surprised to see the whole family there.
Looking at Zhou Mai and the others, he said, "Brother, I remember the school hasn't closed for the holiday yet, what are you doing?"
Before Zhou Mai and the others could say anything, Li said, "What are you doing out there? There are more people coming to our house these days than before, and they are all trying their best to find excuses to send gifts to our house."
Zhou Guo was stunned. "Are there a lot of people?"
Zhou Mai nodded, "There are a lot of people and a lot of things."
She asked, "Did you accept these things?"
Li said, "How dare we accept them? These people gave us gifts for no reason. We were afraid that there was some conspiracy and it would ruin your and your uncle's plans. We returned all of them, not even a pot of flowers."
Zhou Gu said: "We also said hello to Wu Jiang when we came out, and we can't take anything."
Zhou Guo nodded, "It's right not to accept it. No matter how much we accept from them now, we will have to return it one day in the future."
She would not take other people's things for free, and would poison any pie that fell from the sky.
Li said happily, "I said we can't have these things."
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "Mom, you felt really bad when you refused something."
Zhou Mi said: "I should be saddened. The hundreds of years old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, the golden and jade Buddha statues, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are all very valuable."
Especially the golden Buddha that was shining so brightly that it almost blinded their eyes.
Li took a few glances and didn't dare open her eyes when returning the items, for fear that she would regret it.
Zhou Guo laughed loudly and said, "Mom, I'll pay for this golden Buddha to be built for you someday. But you don't worship Buddha, so what's the use of the golden Buddha?"
Li said, "Why is it useless? I also need to pray sometimes. You are away from home, and I don't have a Buddha to pray to, so I can only pray to various gods in all directions."
When Zhou Guo was a few months old, the old lady took her to the temple to burn incense. From then on, she had a connection with Buddha. She had long wanted to invite a Buddha statue back to worship.
Zhou Guo was surprised to see that she was not joking at all, and he kept the matter in mind.
Zhou Su and Li Lai came in from outside after opening the curtain. One of them was holding a lingonberry fruit in his hand. They were laughing. When Zhou Guo saw the fruit in his hand, he handed it to her and said, "Sister, look, I picked it from the mountain."
Zhou Guo asked in surprise: "Hasn't all the fruits on the mountain been picked yet?"
Zhou Gu said, "Big Fatty didn't pick all the flowers yet. He said he would leave some for us to pick ourselves. Anyway, as long as they don't fall off the branches, they'll be fine."
Zhou Guo asked, "Are there any more on the mountain?"
The two nodded, "Yes, they are a little small, nothing big."
