Chapter 274 Quilt Payment

Not long after returning to Xiangjun Mansion, people gathered at the door. The villagers from Qijiadu were the first to arrive, followed by those from other villages.

Mo Jian went out to inquire about the situation. When the people saw him, they did not panic and said, "We are here to thank the local gentleman for allowing us to spend the cold winter safely."

"Be clear." Black Note prompted.

"We came to thank Xiangjunfu for making the quilt."

When Chen Fan walked out of the door, the people immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Thank you Xiangjun for the quilt!"

Chen Fan subconsciously wanted to back away, but held it back and said, "No gift, no need to thank me for the quilt, you have to pay."

The villagers stood up one after another. Qi Lizheng said: "It is appropriate to pay, and it is also appropriate to be grateful. Everyone buys quilts on credit first, and the price is also cheap. The village gentleman is very righteous."

Others also started talking in a variety of ways.

In the past, people's winter quilts were stuffed with various things: straw, reeds, bark, feathers... Last year, the Xiangjun Mansion planted ten acres of cotton and called some people to learn how to make quilts.

At first, no one from the villagers said they wanted to buy it. It was true that it was strange, and it was true that it was expensive.

Each village is responsible for explaining: "Quilts can be made on credit first and paid in monthly installments after the New Year. If you are not satisfied with the quilt, you can return the quilt to the township government after the New Year."

The villagers were hesitant, and based on the idea that others would give credit to others, each family took a quilt home on credit. Some people who wanted to pay, also withdrew their money.

During the days when the snow fell heavily, Chen Fan would not send someone to ask if he was warm and comfortable under the quilt. After that, they returned to Wangjiadun.

Nowadays, looking at the behavior of the villagers, the feeling of being in bed is definitely warm and comfortable.

One villager continued to express his gratitude: "My father's legs and feet are not very flexible and he cannot come here in person. He asked me to come and say thank you to Xiang Jun for the quilt he gave him. He has never felt that winter has been so warm."

"

Seniors over the age of sixty can receive a free quilt.

Chen Fan looked at him: "Who covered the quilt?"

The man was a little embarrassed: "My father slept with his two grandsons."

Chen Fan nodded and looked at everyone: "Is there anyone occupying the old man's quilt?"

Everyone shook their heads. One person boldly spoke up: "The quilts given to the elderly by the Xiangjun Mansion are naturally for the elderly. If we juniors use them, wouldn't it be unfilial?"

Everyone nodded vigorously.

Chen Fan chuckled in his heart. Some people are really filial, and some are probably afraid of being punished if they are discovered, right?

"It is a virtue to be filial to the elderly. If you are unfilial, the township government would also like to get to know you." Chen Fan said.

Everyone instantly became serious.

Chen Fan said: "Ask Li Zheng about the payment. You can pay it in one lump sum or in installments, plus two cents of interest. Keep a record of how much you pay each time and how many times you pay it off."

Everyone said some more words of gratitude and gradually dispersed.

Chen Zhongzhu asked: "Did anyone say that the quilt should be returned?"

Chen Fan shook his head gently: "I haven't heard about it yet. I'll have to look at Li Zheng's records."

"Those who sent the quilt back will no longer have the right to buy quilts from the township government in the future. The villagers are not stupid." Chen Ying said, "They can all feel the warmth of the quilt."

The quilt payment went smoothly, and the villages were still competing to see which village could collect the money first. The next day, eleven Li Zheng sent over the money and account books.

"All collected? No installment payment?" Chen Fan thought this was too neat.

Jiang Chengda, the leader of Qiaoshang Village, said: "The villagers are afraid that they will be late in paying and unable to express their gratitude to the villagers."

Why is this so unbelievable?

There were no repeated words in the rest of the story. Xi Quanning from Kaiyun Village said something familiar: "The villagers can still afford two hundred cents for a five-pound quilt."

This is true. The crops were harvested last year. Even if you buy poultry or livestock, you can still scrape together two hundred coins.

Mo Jian spoke: "Have all the villagers in Kaiyun Village experienced the feeling of being rich?"

Xi Lizheng's body trembled.

Chen Fan smiled and praised. "Kaiyun Village worked very hard last year, and Xi Li played a major role in it."

Xi Quanning smiled happily, and Qi Lizheng's expression was meaningful.

Many people in Kaiyun Village will tremble when they see the ink paper. As long as they hear "The ink paper is coming", the lazy people will immediately roll out of bed, carry the hoe and rush to the fields.

Celery, eggplant and other vegetables were planted, and the wheat fields began to be cleared and weeded. Chen Fan and the others took a boat to cruise upstream of the Chang River.

"I plan to clear out this land this year." Chen Fan was referring to the land between Changhe and Qingxi Rivers.

"If the trees are cut down, will it affect the weather?" Chen Zhongqing was the first to question.

"It can be transplanted and cutted. Several small forests have been formed in various places in Changping Township." Chen Yue was not worried.

"Perhaps a paper mill can be built here." Chen Zhongmei thought thoughtfully.

"We have another mission today, to find wild tea trees." Chen Fan said.

"I haven't seen it before." The children shook their heads together.

Chen Fan took out the drawings from the bag and sent them to them.

"There are such tall tea trees? How do people pick tea?" Chen Zhongyan was surprised.

He was talking about arbor-type tea trees, usually more than ten meters tall.

Chen Fan glanced at the drawing: "This kind of tea tree is from the ancient Shu Kingdom, Dian Kingdom and Yelang Kingdom. It may be a little difficult to find it here. As long as we can find short tea trees."

"We want to plant tea trees over there in Qingshan Village?" Chen Yue quickly thought of the almost bare hills over there.

Chen Fan nodded.

The boat stopped at the foot of a certain mountain. Everyone abandoned the boat and landed on the beach, carrying bows and arrows on their backs.

The mountain forest was wet and slippery, making it a bit difficult to walk. Chen Fan looked at the new buds and leaves on the trees while walking.

"These young leaves are so cute, very soft and oily on top." Chen Ya was still very cute when she spoke.

"What if we can't find the tea tree?" Chen Zhongzhu was thinking about the mission.

"If you can't find it, just look for it slowly." Chen Fan said, "Don't waste time enjoying the scenery."

"When you were building the reservoir, you walked through the mountains hundreds of times, and you never found a single tea tree?" Chen Fanyan looked at Zhang Ci.

Zhang Ci was very frank: "I didn't notice the tea trees in the mountains over there."

The children began to whisper among themselves: "Does tea tree like light or shade?"

"Tea trees originally grew in large forests, what do you think?" Zhang Ci looked at them.

Now it’s okay, just now we just communicated in a low voice, now we start arguing directly.

No one could convince anyone. Finally, they discovered that the eldest sister and brother-in-law had already walked far ahead.
