Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao didn't know anything about all this.

After they met, they put their things on the ox cart, bought big meat buns, and hurried out of the city on the ox cart.

While eating the big buns, Li Dabao said, "Mom, would you like to hear what letter I wrote to my father?"

Liu Paner shook his head, "I don't want to hear it."

Li Dabao, who was already very worried about his parents, became even more uneasy, "Mom, my dad is actually quite good and handsome. Grandma the village chief, grandpa the village chief, don't you think so?"

Zhou Cuihua laughed loudly and agreed with Li Dabao, "Yes, Yuan Qing is good-looking. Not to mention that we can't find such a good-looking one in Lijia Village. Even the entire Yuyang Mansion can't find such a good-looking one."

Village Chief Li also echoed, "Yes, from the Yuan Qing family. Yuan Qing is as handsome as when I was young, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ask your Aunt Cuihua to be my wife."

Zhou Cuihua was just trying to persuade Liu Pan'er, but when her husband said this, she quickly hammered her back twice, "You don't cultivate, what are you talking about!"

Liu Pan'er in the front laughed loudly. She looked like the village chief, which was only average. It seemed that Li Yuanqing was not much more handsome.

Li Dabao was anxious. If his mother also thought that his father looked like the village chief, he would probably care less about his father. "Grandpa, the village chief, my father is much more handsome than when you were young. Are you the village chief's grandma?"

Zhou Cuihua nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, your village chief's grandfather is so ugly that he can't compare with Yuan Qing. I liked your village chief's grandfather not because of his appearance, but because of his character."

Liu Pan'er listened to the chat between Li Dabao and the village chief and his wife, and the corners of her mouth turned up, which was quite interesting.

Li Dabao really worked hard to say good things to his father.

I rested for less than half an hour and continued on my way.

Even so, it was dark and they still hadn't arrived at Lijia Village.

Liu Paner took out the torch he had made before and lit it, not very quickly.

Brother Li Yuanjia was urged by Mrs. Li to wait at the entrance of the village after eating.

Others in the village had eaten and came out to enjoy the cool air.

"Yuanjia, your parents went to the county town and haven't they come back yet?" Li Erluzi continued to open up wasteland every day. He came home late and went out to eat with a bowl and pancakes.

Li Yuanjia smiled and said, "Not yet, I'll probably be back soon."

"I heard that Yuan Qing's daughter-in-law went to the county town to sell that thing called tomatoes. I don't know how much she can sell for it." A man in the village said enviously. Seeing that the cantaloupes were sold for a lot of money, the village chief and his family had a good relationship with Yuan Qing's family.

, I also planted cantaloupes and made money along the way.

I think back then, they were still laughing at me!

Thinking about it now, it turns out that they themselves are the ones who are shallow! They are the fools!

"That's a business introduced by Imperial Envoy Mr. Gu, and the price is definitely not low. I heard it tastes good, but I don't know what it tastes like." Another person rushed to say, "If the price is high, I will grow it next year, just like Yuan Qing's family."

I want some rice seedlings.”

Li Dashan, who is good at farming, chuckled and said: "I don't have to worry about selling the Yuan Qing family's seeds. You just open your mouth and ask for them. How can you do it? Next year everyone in the village wants to plant seeds, so they have to spend money to buy them."

"Ah?" Li Daming was dumbfounded, "Uncle Dashan, do you still have to spend money to buy it? How much does it cost? It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

Li Dashan smiled and spoke for Liu Pan'er, "The kindness of the Yuan Qing family is not too expensive, but if you want to do it without spending a penny, that's not possible."

When the people in the village heard what Li Dashan said, some people thought it was right. After all, seeds are rare. Some people thought they were all from the same village. What happened to ordering seeds?

Anyway, no matter what time, there are people who want to get something for nothing.

No matter when, no matter how well Liu Paner does, he cannot satisfy everyone.

However, it doesn't matter. Liu Pan'er has her own code of conduct and will not change it just because of other people's comments.

Seeing that the people in the village were getting more and more exaggerated, Li Yuanjia quickly changed the subject, "Uncle Dashan, when will our rice be harvested? The new rice is so fragrant that I can eat three big bowls by myself."

Li Er laughed and looked forward to it in his heart, "I can still eat five big bowls! Brother Dashan, my rice is growing well and the ears of rice are heavy. When will it be harvested?"

Speaking of the things Li Dashan is good at, he was very proud, "It will take another twenty days, so be patient and wait."

When everyone heard that the rice could be harvested in less than a month and they could eat delicious rice, everyone felt excited and looked forward to the day of harvest coming soon.

Suddenly there was a light of fire in the distance. Li Yuanjia walked towards the light, and sure enough he met his parents, Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao, who had rushed back from the county town.

Everyone asked questions, and when they learned that tomatoes were sold for thirty cents a pound, many people became unbalanced.

Zhou Cuihua knew the villagers' evil nature best. Seeing that it was so valuable, someone might steal it, so she quickly urged Li Yuanjia, "Yuanjia, go to the fields and work with Da Zhuang to help your younger siblings look after the tomatoes and peppers in the fields to avoid disaster.

If we can’t collect the seeds, we won’t be able to plant them next year.”

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Mom and dad, you guys should go home quickly. It's been a tiring day." Li Yuanjia immediately agreed and urged his parents to go home and rest as soon as possible.

People who were initially ready to take action suddenly felt as if they had been poured cold water on them.

They stole tomatoes and peppers, but they didn't know who to sell them to! Without the imperial envoy's access, they didn't even know how to get to the county seat.

Thinking that they would be able to get seeds and plant them next year, the villagers suppressed their greed.

He does not mean that.

For thirty cents per catty, a basket can be sold for more than one tael of silver.

Since the third widow bought the homestead, her family only had one tael of money left. If something happened, she would not be able to cope with it, so she came up with the idea of ​​stealing peppers and tomatoes.

However, she also knew that she was just a woman and weak. Even if she stole, she wouldn't be able to steal much.

It would be easier if you could find a strong man to help.

Liu Pan'er was very tired. Her buttocks were numb from sitting in the bullock cart.

When Mrs. Liu saw her third brother and sister back, she quickly filled the basin with warm water and put a clean towel on it. "Third brother and sister, go and wash up quickly. I'll get you some clothes."

Liu Pan'er was grateful and handed the money bag directly to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, tomatoes and potatoes cost thirty cents per catty, and we can make a lot of money. You take someone to put down the things in the car, and I'll take a shower."

"

Mrs. Liu and her children were very happy when they heard that it had been sold at such a high price. Their family's life was getting better and better.

Liu Pan'er took a shower, put on clean clothes, and felt relaxed all over.

Li Rong poured a glass of warm water soaked in mint leaves, "You, drink water."

Li Fang smiled and said to Liu Pan'er: "Third Aunt, my mother rolled out noodles tonight and left some for you and Dabao. I will make some noodles for you right now."

"Thank you Ah Rong Ah Fang." Liu Pan'er smiled and thanked her, affirming the hard work of her daughter and niece.
