"Yes, but it's just a preliminary plan. The specifics will depend on the follow-up situation." An Xiaoxiao nodded. She smiled sheepishly and said, "I don't have any land now. Uncle An, you want some free land, can you?"

Rent me a few acres of land."

"Whatever you want to rent, just use it." Second Uncle An waved his hand, sighed, and then said a little embarrassed: "But my land is all planted with grain, and there is not much left unused now, about one acre."

His voice became softer and softer, he frowned and murmured, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I think of someone who can help you."

Huh? Before An Xiaoxiao could react, Uncle An laughed and patted her shoulder. He said "Follow me" and walked out of the door first. An Xiaoxiao couldn't help but hurriedly followed.

"Shopkeeper An, you want to rent my land?" Wang Er glanced at the two of them in surprise and stopped what he was doing.

It's winter and there is no need to do farm work yet. Wang Er came to Jiang Chao's inn to work on the recommendation of An Xiaoxiao to earn some subsidies, so he casually called Shopkeeper An.

"Yes." An Xiaoxiao nodded, "I will rent as much as you have. The minimum rent is one year. How about four silver coins per acre per year?"

Four dollars per mu of land per year is a very conscientious price. An Xiaoxiao thought that Wang Er would readily agree, but he did not expect that the other party would look embarrassed after hearing the price, "This"

"How about I add another 50 yuan?" An Xiaoxiao raised the price a little more considering that Wang Er's mother was paralyzed at home and his daughter-in-law was about to give birth. As a result, Wang Er's face became increasingly ugly, his eyes widened and he kept shaking his head.

"No"

Now it was Uncle An's turn to be dissatisfied. He coughed and frowned: "Wang Er, we are all responsible people. Girl An has helped you so much before. If you do this, I will have to blame you."

"

"It's not worth it." Uncle An was tall and tall, and his face looked quite scary. Wang Er was startled, shook his head desperately, and finally choked out a few words in a panic: "My

The meaning is not worth it.”

ah?

"I can't grow much food on this little land. The combined acres of land are barely enough for our family to make a living. Shopkeeper An, please rent an acre from my house for four yuan. I'm afraid the time will come."

The more Wang Er talked, the more worried he became. His last words turned into a sigh before he finished speaking. An Xiaoxiao and Uncle An looked at each other and understood what he meant. Uncle An punched his shoulder with his fist and said unhappily.

: "He hesitated for a long time before saying anything, which seems like a stingy uncle." Wang Er smiled sheepishly and said nothing.

An Xiaoxiao directly raised her hand and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will rent you as much as you have, and you don't have to worry about the rest. We have money."

Wang Er couldn't deal with them, so he took them to the edge of his own field.

Including the second uncle An's family, An Xiaoxiao acquired a total of four acres of land. At first, the second uncle refused to pay the rent until he died. In the end, she reluctantly accepted the money under the threat of giving up the land without rent.

Under Uncle An's example, although Wang Er couldn't do it without charging rent, he tried his best to lower the price. Four bucks was not worth it, but three bucks for two acres of land was worth it. A good and serious business was like a forced sale.

At the scene, An Xiaoxiao laughed miserably, pressed his neck directly, and forced him to sign the contract.

After renting the land, the top priority is to improve the quality of the land. Loosening the soil and fertilizing it is a necessary process.

Several pieces of cultivated land were located in different locations in the village. An Xiaoxiao was too busy to handle them all alone. Together with the others, they decided that she and Dawu would be responsible for the land owned by Second Uncle An's family, and the remaining two people would be responsible for the other two acres of land. The plan was ready once it was finalized.

, the four of them worked hard, getting up early every morning to pick up manure and fertilize. An Xiaoxiao and Dawu also had to go to the natural airport in the back mountain to collect rotten leaves and animal feces.

An Xiaoxiao put all the things piled on the floor into the space. She clapped her hands and walked in the forest with ease. Dawu walked side by side with her, looking left and right curiously.

"It's good if I have space." Dawu's tone showed envy, "Don't bring any baggage, just pretend to be whatever you want."

"Space also has an upper limit." An Xiaoxiao interrupted his whims mercilessly, "You think space is a bottomless pit. If it exceeds the limit, things can't be put in."

"What's the limit?" Dawu was curious.

"I don't know now, but it has limitations."

The two of them worked together, so they were not tired from work. They worked like this every day. An Xiaoxiao's originally green-white fingers had some new calluses after a long period of farming, and even her face had lost a lot of weight.

Da Wu was so distressed that he grabbed the work by himself every time. An Xiaoxiao was not pretentious, she would hide nearby and take some time off when Da Wu was around. When Da Wu went out to the village to pick, she would do her own thing honestly. The couple was in love.

Adjust the oil, and see Uncle An who comes to help sometimes with amusement.

"Uncle also loved his wife when he was young." Second Uncle An gave Dawu a thumbs up in private.

It was still late February, and the soybean planting season was mostly from April to May. An Xiaoxiao had to prepare in advance and found a free day to go to the grain store in the town to buy some soybean seeds for later use.

When I went to town, the owner of the grain store was a fat middle-aged man with a chubby face. When he smiled, he squeezed his eyes into slits. He looked kind-hearted. An Xiaoxiao was born with a good look at this kind of people, so he asked

Regarding the price of soybeans, I saw that the price was fair and he didn't talk much. I just asked the clerk to weigh the weight and paid the price.

After buying the food, An Xiaoxiao found a corner for each person to put in the space. Just as he was about to go home, he passed by Baima Bookstore. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked in.

"Please find the shopkeeper of the bookstore." After entering the bookstore, An Xiaoxiao went straight to the clerk. After the previous competition in the town, her popularity has been greatly improved. The clerk recognized An Xiaoxiao at a glance, and he responded warmly.

He heard the sound and ran to the backyard.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore had an unpredictable temperament. She originally thought she would have to wait a little longer, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper followed him out not long after.

"Ms. An." The shopkeeper smiled at her as a greeting. He turned his gaze behind An Xiaoxiao and asked, "Yu Ce didn't come with you today?"

"I came to town today to buy goods, so I can't bring him here." An Xiaoxiao saw the shopkeeper's smile that immediately faded away, feeling angrily.

What are you doing! What's the point of serving food to others! He is my cub, I raised him!

"Then why did Mrs. An come to my bookstore today?" the shopkeeper said calmly, without the familiarity in his previous tone.

I'm going to buy your shop and turn it into a gambling den, which will piss you off to death.

An Xiaoxiao complained in her heart, but smiled politely on her face: "When Yu Ce reaches school age, I want to find a good academy for him. Seeing that my husband is familiar with Yu Ce, I want to ask my husband's opinion. For example, in the town

"Golden Academy"

She had inquired before coming here and found out that there was actually an academy in the town called Golden Academy. The children of many wealthy businessmen and squires in the town studied in this academy. The conditions were expected to be very good, so An Xiaoxiao wanted to send the two little ones here.

The county was good, but after all, it was too far away and the entrance examination was strict. Thinking of An Shuyue's uneasy temper, An Xiaoxiao felt a headache and decided to find another way.
