“Liu Ji!”
A sudden roar interrupted all Liu Ji's thoughts.
Qin Yao: "I called you twice but you didn't answer. What are you thinking about?"
Liu Ji replied seriously: "I'm thinking about the riddle in the book."
“Are you leaving?” I asked knowingly.
Seeing Qin Yao's impatient wave, she immediately dropped the book in her hand, stood up, patted the robe she had changed into, and ran towards her happily.
Qin Yao gave him a steamed bun and stopped Liu Ji's small thoughts of going to the county town to order food. He raised his chin outside the courtyard and said, "Let's go."
However, the old lady enthusiastically said that she could help build a bridge and help Qin Yao ask the Ding family members.
"No, no, no, no!" Liu Ji immediately changed his tune and said with a smile: "I am willing, madam, don't worry, I will leave all the rent for our house in your hands."
In a room, a long bench and wooden board were used to spread the shop.
So, he asked Awang to drive, and the couple came to Ding Xiucai's home together.
Wang Mawu's luxury carriage is spacious enough for a family of six to sit in it without feeling cramped.
Qin Yao sneered, "No silver reward, it's done. I'll leave the rent collection to you next year."
Qin Yao sneered, but did not say anything to take it back. The couple went to the field to look at it for a while.
The courtyard was filled with all kinds of furniture that needed to be taken away. Liu Ji tiptoed, barely keeping up with Qin Yao's nimble pace.
Liu Ji gnawed on the tasteless steamed buns and got into the carriage in despair.
Qin Yao: "Since you don't want to, then forget it."
The couple came to the county government office and successfully completed household registration.
The bedding and other utensils in the house have been taken away, and now it is an empty room. The windows are small and the light is dim.
But when Jinbao was picked up, the carriage was like hundreds of ducks quacking at the same time, making Liu Ji so noisy that he could no longer wake up.
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and poked at Lao San's innocent and trouble-free face, feeling envious and jealous.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, she actually thought it was pretty good.
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Ji immediately asked excitedly: "How about if it's done? Is there a reward for it?"
"Madam, you see, these beds are all ready-made. Little babies don't need much space. They just need a place to lie down and sleep. Let's divide this bed into small compartments with straw mats. It can accommodate a dozen students. The rent It's cheaper. The mountain road is too far and the family is too poor to rent a decent house. I'll definitely like it!”
Qin Yao thought for a moment and nodded lightly, "Then give it a try."
Liu Ji's eyes were full of enthusiasm, "Madam, let's try?"
“Same as on the market, 20% of land and 40% of fields.” Liu Ji said seriously with his hands behind his back.
They were busy going through paperwork yesterday and forgot about it.
She just said, how on earth did Awang resist breaking down when he was transporting these five little kids to and from school every day? It turned out that he even had some props!
When the Ding clan members who came to rent the land heard what Liu Ji said, they clasped their fists in gratitude and turned around to inform their relatives.
Their family has little land, and they rent fields from larger families for farming all year round. However, the land is not very good, and the rent is still 40%. After a year of hard work, they make no profit at all.
Hearing Jinbao and Erlang's little chatter, Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat. Since there was no way to stop it, let's join them!
Qin Yao caught the cotton earplugs handed over by Awang and glanced at him in surprise.
Liu Ji was very excited. When he came to the farm, he saw the evil-repelling white flag stuck on the ground. He pulled it out and asked Awang to throw it away. It was an unlucky thing.
When they came to the hall, they were greeted by Ding Xiucai's mother. When she learned that Qin Yao was here to deal with the tenants, the old lady patted her knee and said, "I was so busy that I forgot to tell you that we used to keep that hundred acres of land. Those who farm their own land have no tenants.”
Liu Jixian glanced at Qin Yao, and she nodded. Then she nodded to the visitor and continued to say seriously:
"My family's one hundred acres of land must be rented out. If you have other relatives who want to rent it, please ask them to go to Ding Xiucai's house and inform the old lady." Before going out, Qin Yao had already told the old lady that If someone wants to rent land, please ask her to do it first, saving the tenants from having to walk a long way to Liujiacun to find her.
The Nading clan members were overjoyed and asked cautiously: "Master Liu, can you rent all the twenty acres of land in the southeast corner to my family?"
Farmers like to rent fields from large households because they can use the farm tools and livestock provided by large households. In order to make their land more cost-effective, Qin Yao told Liu Ji who was wandering around the empty house:
“Remember to buy some farm tools so that farmers can borrow them.”
There is no other reason, just because he loves this land deeply!
As for the fact that a murder occurred in this area, the couple did not take it seriously at all.
Seeing that Qin Yao had no objection, Liu Jili pulled her into the house, pointed at the shops excitedly and said:
“We are a quarter of an hour away from the streets of the town and only two quarters of an hour away from the Ding Family School. It is very suitable for renting to students who come to study.”
Qin Yao came to the two small rooms. The key was given to her by Lady Ding, the scholar. She opened the door lock and saw two spacious rooms.
No, as soon as Qin Yao and his wife walked out of Ding Xiucai's house, a well-informed member of the Ding clan came over with shy smiles and asked Qin Yao how much the rent was.
Liu Ji was so rare that he could grab a handful of dirt here and touch mud there, with tears in his eyes.
Liu Ji got in and as soon as he sat down, Sanlang found a place in his arms and came in to catch up on his sleep.
Qin Yao also knew that this matter was important and planned to go to Mrs. Ding Xiucai again to transfer the tenants.
But the Qin Yao family's land is of good quality, and the rent is still 40%. Of course, for such a big bargain, they must first keep their own family close.
Liu Ji hurriedly responded, then pointed to the vacant Tongbu room and asked, "Madam, how about we clean up this room and rent it out?"
Other families' land had been plowed, and Liu Ji, who didn't care about farming, was a little anxious. After running through all the 100 acres of land, he asked Qin Yao breathlessly:
“Mother, madam, we have to rent out the land quickly, otherwise there will be another crop of wheat missing.”
Hahaha, look at how Liu Dafu is still quarreling in front of him now!
Qin Yao glanced at him and saw his worthless smile, so she simply arranged a job for him.
Liu Ji watched the tenant happily walk away, then looked back at his own farmland next to the official road, and sighed: "The situation is really changing. I didn't expect that I, Liu Ji, would also become a landlord."
Happily, I blocked my ears and closed my eyes. The world was finally quiet.
It was only noon, and Qin Yao decided to go to the farm to take a look at his fields.
“Liu Ji, I'll give you a chance to show off. You can take care of the land rental. It's done.”
Liu Ji immediately let out a low "嘁" and muttered in a low voice, "It's another hard work for nothing."
“You are so young and you don't know what it's like to be sad~” He suddenly sighed, then ate up the buns in his hand and closed his eyes to catch up on some sleep.
The other room is a room for storing farm tools. There are also two wooden barrels and a few old rattan baskets in the room. They should be no longer needed.
That field is fertile. As long as Qin Yao wants to rent it, many farmers will come to her to ask for it.
When we arrived at the county town, there was a little sunshine, and it had been cloudy with light rain for many days. Today it was finally sunny, which made Qin Yao firmly believe that today must be a lucky day.
There are still some benefits to be gained after all. Even though they are mosquito legs, they are still meat.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are already packing up their belongings. It seems that they will leave Dingjiazhuang in the next few days to join Ding Xiucai in Fucheng.
Liu Ji put his hands on his hips and said, "Okay!"
The suggestion he made was successfully adopted for the first time, and Liu Ji suddenly felt elated.
Just one word, cool! (End of chapter)
