Hearing this tone, the village chief knew that she had made a lot of money selling grain before, and he was a little surprised and a little relieved.
I know that Qin Yao generally looks down on him, so I won't introduce them to the village chiefs on the roadside now.
When they entered the boundary of Jinshi Town, the village chief immediately pointed to the large area at the foot of the mountain to the east, "Yao Niang, look over there. It's next to Dingjiazhuang. It has more than 100 acres and two cabins. , you can put farm tools and other things on weekdays, and you can also leave someone to look after you.”
Qin Yao raised her head and took a cursory glance. All she could see was the gray-black land, which looked fat at first glance. She quickly asked Awang to drive over and take a closer look.
Transportation here is also very convenient, there is a path for a carriage leading directly to the door of the cabin.
These two small rooms are not big, but they are used to store farm tools and are enough to accommodate one or two people.
Behind the house is the one hundred acres of land the village chief mentioned.
The women set up a shed on the roadside and built a stove on the spot. They collected the ingredients purchased from the village and prepared meals for the people who worked.
Liu Dafu's heart trembled. Are you sure he wasn't being asked to test the poison?
The village chief didn't want it, but Qin Yao bought the wine anyway, picked up the children after school, stuffed their ears with cotton and returned to the village. When she saw Liu Qi going home after work, she gave him two kilograms of wine and asked him to take it to his home.
Qin Yao: "Am I the only one going out?"
It's just that I've never seen a melon like this before, and it doesn't look as delicious as other melons. It's not green or white, and it has twisted patterns like loaches, which look like the markings on a poisonous snake.
But if you wait for the final payment from Fulong Commercial Bank to be settled, you will have enough money in hand.
Knowing that the village chief would not tell her about this small farm for no reason, Qin Yao asked tentatively: "Is the owner of this land going to take action?"
Qin Yao was wearing a straw hat and squatting in her melon field to look at her melons. Liu Dafu stood behind her and talked for a long time without seeing any reaction from her. He couldn't help but asked again in an aggravated tone:
Qin Yao waved to him and patted the football-sized, emerald-green melon in front of her, "Please eat the melon."
Liu Dafu choked again.
Qin Yao funnyly put the village chief on the driver's ox cart, told the driver to walk more steadily, watched the ox cart go away, and asked Awang to continue to the town.
The village chief laughed and said, "You girl, you talk very interestingly. Why is there no fate? But I can see that you, girl, have a big heart and don't like ordinary things now. In this case, I will pay attention to you." Wait, I'll ask the chief when the time comes. If there's a good Zhuangzi, I'll tell you right away.”
Twenty acres of gently sloping land and 70 acres of paddy fields. The fields are full of sorghum and rice. The land is fertile to the naked eye.
She asked so directly that Liu Dafu choked for a moment and paused for three seconds before saying, "You said it before. If you don't have enough money in the future, it will go to the stationery factory."
He will not wait for the children here with them, lest he lose half of his life on the way back.
Liu Dafu was so frightened that he retreated to the field ridge and stepped on Qin Yao's two melons, which made her gasp in pain.
Qin Yao: "I can help with the cushioning first, and then you can pay me back with grain after the autumn harvest."
The smile on Qin Yao's face instantly bloomed, "Then I'll trouble you!"
If Old Man Liu heard about this money, he would call God! It is simply not something that ordinary people would dare to think about.
But it's not even July yet, and the final payment won't be received until September at the earliest, so it's long overdue.
The village chief smiled like you guessed it and explained: "This land is owned by a scholar from the Ding family. I heard that he failed the college entrance exam this year. He learned from the pain and plans to move his family to Fucheng in order to study."
“You want me to pay?”
Looking at Qin Yao's baby-like appearance, she was a little curious.
They used such force that the villagers in Liujia Village felt embarrassed. After getting the consent of the villagers, Liu Dafu came to Qin Yao to discuss and planned to pay some wages to these people from Huangque Town.
Qin Yao finally reacted and turned her head to look at him. The wide brim of the straw hat covered most of her face, and only her chin that was sunburned could be seen.
Liu Qi looked confused, but before she could ask, the carriage was already churning toward the village.
At this moment, Qin Yao cruelly broke the melon vine, took the football-sized melon into her hands, and smashed it with both hands. There was a "pop" sound, and the bright red flesh of the melon was exposed.
The road was built from the entrance of the village all the way to Xiahe Village, and the sheds were also moved all the way to Xiahe Village, just to save some time on eating and do more work.
Liu Dafu was also convinced by these people from Huangque Town. They worked really hard and didn't cheat at all. He worked from early in the morning until the sun went down every day. He looked tired, but these people were happy when they came back from work. Peaceful.
The mouth under the straw hat opened widely, "Don't leave in a hurry."
“Is this really edible?” he asked.
"Don't just talk about it." The village chief pointed to the street in the town deliberately, "Just remember to treat me to a nice drink when the time comes!"
Putting down Liu Jinbao, Erlang stopped talking.
Qin Yao also took a breath of cold air. She now has 370 taels of silver in her hand, which is still less than half.
Beside the trail, there is a half-meter-wide water diversion ditch, which is very convenient for collecting water.
Qin Yao could only look at this small farm that made her heart move for a few more times, then turned around and said, "Let's go, village chief, the fate has not come."
Erlang's mouth stopped, Sanlang's and Si Niang's mouth also stopped, and Qin Yao's ears were finally at peace.
Not many people know this news, but after all, it is a member of the Ding family. The best option is to sell it directly to the tribe. Maybe it has already been sold.
The air seemed stagnant for half a minute.
Liu Dafu gritted his teeth and said: "The village is also going out, everyone is out together, but the autumn harvest hasn't started yet, and I don't have any money."
“I talked about wages, what do you think?”
In a blink of an eye, July has arrived, and the temperature has hit a new high. Among the refugees who were building roads on the way into the village, the men took off their shirts one by one and worked shirtless, and their backs were tanned.
The village chief saw that Qin Yao was interested and asked her to find out on her own.
"This is easy to say, no need to wait, let's drink today!" Qin Yao immediately asked Awang to drive the car to the town, scaring the village chief and quickly grabbed Awang, "Just kidding, stop quickly, I saw Xiahe Village The coachman!"
Liu Dafu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" He turned around and left.
Liu Dafu turned to look at her suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Qin Yao was a little worried about whether her wallet was enough to buy this small farm. She tentatively asked the price and heard the village chief say: "It may cost six to seven hundred taels of silver."
Fortunately, the melon was hard enough and was not trampled. However, Liu Dafu's foot slipped and he sat down on the field ridge in a very embarrassed state.
Qin Yao couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing "Hahaha".
"Why is this melon so red?" Liu Dafu forced himself to calm down and pointed at the watermelon in Qin Yao's hand and asked. (End of chapter)
