There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 28

[Chapter 28, Zhuangzi]

the carriage of Zhuangzi Yan’s family went straight to the outside of the county seat, and did not stay in the city too much.

The county seat is not big, nor rich. During this period of time, under the leadership of Yan Wenkai, Daohua had already visited the county seat, so the journey was fairly regular.

But as soon as she got out of the city gate, Daohua couldn’t wait to lift the curtain of the car, and happily looked at the scenery outside.

It was the end of October now, and the weather was already very cold. As soon as the curtains were opened, the cold wind blew into the carriage.   Mrs. Li was worried that Mrs. Yan and Daohua

would catch the cold, so she immediately said, “Daohua, put down the car curtain and catch the cold carefully.”

, It’s not like now, just take a few cold medicines and you’ll be fine.

But sitting in the carriage without looking at the scenery outside is very boring, so Daohua can only find something to pass the time.

“Mother, will it snow in Linyi County?”

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile: “It does, in previous years, as soon as November enters, it will start to snow, and in December, there will be heavy snow.

” Hua was happy again: “That’s great, I haven’t seen heavy snow yet. If it

snows heavily, I can have a snowball fight with my third brother and fourth brother.” melted. It’s been so long since ancient times, and she hasn’t pushed a snowman yet.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, “I hope there won’t be heavy snow this year.”

Daohua was taken aback, and found Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan’s faces were a little dignified.

Mrs. Yan sighed: “If there is heavy snow, the life of the people will be even more difficult. The cold winter is hard, and those homeless refugees will die a lot?

” Playing around, I forgot that this is ancient times and not modern times. People’s heating methods are still simple and backward. In winter, when there is heavy snow and snow disaster, many people will freeze to death.

“Mother, did father say how the refugee resettlement is going?”

Madam Li shook her head, “Refugee resettlement is not an easy task, and now it’s winter again, making it even more difficult.”

Seeing Daohua frowning tightly, Old Madam Yan said with a smile: “Okay, it’s not your turn to worry about these things as a child, your father will take care of it.”

Daohua nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. Especially when I saw the thinly dressed refugees walking towards the county town outside the carriage.

“With so many refugees flocking to the county, can my father settle here?”

Mrs. Li: “Linyi County is not bad, the location is relatively remote, and many refugees cannot come here.

” Among the trembling refugees, Daohua sighed: “It’s not easy to live.”

As soon as the words came out, the old lady Yan gave Daohua a slap on the head: “How old are you, you sighed, the sky fell There are adults supporting you, what should you do as a little doll.”

Dao Hua squeezed to Old Madam Yan’s side, took her arm, pursed her lips and did not speak.

Thinking about it now, her reincarnation in this life is really good, at least, her father is an official, and she still has a bit of social status.

If she was reincarnated as the bottom of the common people, even if she had the space, her life would not be so comfortable.

Did she know that in ancient times, if you didn’t have enough status, even if you made money, you might not be able to keep it.

The carriage staggered for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the field Mrs. Li bought.

“Is this a Zhuangzi?”

After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Yan asked immediately when she saw the Erjin courtyard in front of her.

Mrs. Li smiled and said: “Mother has good eyesight, this is indeed a Zhuangzi.”

Mrs. Yan: “How big is the land?”

Mrs. Li: “It looks like five hundred acres.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan patted Mrs. Li’s hand: “You used your dowry again?”

She knew very well how much salary the eldest son had, and it was difficult to support a large family. How could there be spare money to buy Zhuangzi?

Needless to say, this Zhuangzi must have been bought by Mrs. Li with a dowry.

Mrs. Li smiled: “The money is still on the shelf, it’s better to take it out to buy some family property. The daughter-in-law is also selfish in doing this. Seeing that Wenxiu and Wenkai are getting bigger and bigger, in the future, when we talk about marriage, the dowry is a big deal. Daohua grows every year, so the dowry should be ready.”

At this time, Yan Zhiqiang walked over with Yan Wentao.

Mrs. Li smiled again and said to the two father and son: “I have heard that the third brother is good at farm work. Every year, our family harvests a lot more food than other families. I want to point out my third brother to help take care of this Zhuangzi so that the family can have more income.”

Yan Zhiqiang was stunned: “Sister-in-law, you mean I will take care of this Zhuangzi?”

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: “Please Third brother, pay more attention.”

Yan Zhiqiang hesitated, he is really good at farming, and he is also taking care of the 200 mu of land in his hometown, but the problem is that he is the only one in his hometown, and he has to take care of it, but he is not the only one here.

Mrs. Li: “Why, is there any problem with the third brother? If you have any problems, just say it, and we can solve it together.”

Yan Zhiqiang looked at Mrs. Yan, and saw that she was indifferent, so he had to say: “Sister-in-law, I am in charge of Zhuangzi, so what is the second brother doing?” He knows that the second brother is the most competitive person, but if he knows that he will take away his job as soon as he comes, there will definitely be conflicts in the future.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled: “So you were worried about this, don’t worry, the second brother can’t control Zhuangzi.” Seeing the surprised faces of Mrs. Yan and Yan Zhiqiang, she said again.

“Second uncle has never been in the field since he was with the master, and he is already unfamiliar with farming.”

Mrs. Yan frowned: “The second brother has been with you all these years, so what does he do?”

Mrs. Li’s smile remained unchanged: “Go out to meet friends, ask for some news.”

Mrs. Yan didn’t ask any more questions, but her expression was not very good.

The eldest daughter-in-law put it mildly, but she knew the virtues of the second son, that is to say, she followed the eldest all these years without doing any serious business.

The adults were talking about things, while Yan Wentao walked around Zhuangzi with Daohua.

Looking at the emaciated appearance of the tenants on the Zhuangzi, Daohua, who was still in high spirits, suddenly lost interest.

Seeing her like this, Yan Wentao smiled and said: “It’s okay, haven’t we come? With the grain seeds you have cultivated, next year, they will be able to eat and wear warm clothes.” Daohua

: “But there are still many people who can’t eat enough Not warm enough to wear.”

Yan Wentao was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the days when they pretended to be refugees, scratched his head, and said with a smile: “It’s okay, uncle is the county magistrate, after the grain in Zhuangzi is harvested, let him It would be great to promote our grain seeds .” Hearing this, Daohua

‘s eyes lit up: “Yes, why didn’t I think of this, third brother, you are too smart.”

Yan Wentao was praised so much that he puffed up his chest.

Daohua : “But my father’s official position is still too low, it would be nice if it was higher.”

Yan Wentao didn’t even think about it: “Then let uncle work hard to get promoted.” Daohua

glanced at him and thought, she Dad has been a county magistrate for 9 years and has not been promoted one step, which shows how difficult it is to be promoted, but he still nodded with a smile.
