Qiao Huaping smiled and took out a piece of candy from her arms and handed it to Village Chief Lu's grandson who was playing with his grandfather.
The little guy shouted crisply: "Thank you, aunt!"
Village Chief Lu smiled helplessly: "Okay, Brother Qiang, you can go play somewhere else. I have something to tell your Aunt Qiao."
The little guy responded crisply again, grabbed the candy in his hand, and went to play with his friends.
Village Chief Lu was limping, and his second son who was accompanying him quickly helped his father, found a slightly secluded place, propped up the pony he brought with him, and let his father sit down.
As soon as Village Chief Lu sat down, he asked Qiao Huaping with great concern: "Xiao Qiao, I heard that someone from the county invited you here, what do you think?"
Qiao Huaping shook her head: "Actually, it's not a big deal." She raised the snack box in her hand, "It's just that I did a favor to Miss Qianjin who was passing by. They are a wealthy family who respect courtesy and thanked me personally.
No, he also gave me some snacks... Not to mention this, village chief, why are you looking for me?"
Village Chief Lu calmed down a little. Thinking of what he heard before, he couldn't help but show some excitement on his face: "Xiao Qiao, let me tell you, our family has a distant relative in Fangjiabao.
, he said that there was someone in their village who was related to the county government’s Qianliang Master, and he said he had the latest inside information and wanted to grab the best piece of land first!”
Fangjiabao is another village that migrated all the way to this town.
Qiao Huaping couldn't help but raised an eyebrow: "The best land? Which one is it?"
Village Chief Lu said: "It is said to be in the valley of some back mountain. The land is very fertile, but it is far away from the county seat, but this is not a problem for us mountain people."
Qiao painted the screen clearly.
At that time, the county magistrate's wife told her that there were three pieces of land.
One piece of land is close to the river valley. The terrain is flat and easy to irrigate. However, the land was flooded a few years ago, so it is only usable now. The other piece of land is a large barren mountain. That land is what the locals call burnt land.
It is impossible to grow food, but fortunately the mountains are vast, the trees can grow reasonably well, and there are a lot of wild animals in the forest. However, the people of this large village cannot live a prosperous life just by hunting wild animals.
There is another area, which is what Village Chief Lu said, the valley in the back mountain.
Qiao Huaping actually had a plan in mind, but she hadn't seen the pieces of land yet. To be on the safe side, she didn't plan to tell Village Chief Lu in advance.
"I've also heard that there are three relatively large villages that escaped from famine this time," Qiao Huaping said. "There happened to be three pieces of land cleared out in Yixiang. The land Chief Lu mentioned is indeed right here.
in."
When Village Chief Lu heard this, his expression became more and more excited, and he could hardly sit still: "Is that really so?... That won't work, we have to think of a way, and we can't let Fangjiabao take away the best land.
"
Qiao Huaping consoled him: "Don't worry, village chief. We have just arrived two days ago. The planning and division of this area are all major matters. We have to write the documents and deliver them to the next level state capital. How can we finish it in a day or two?"
Success?...We still have time."
Village Chief Lu has always been convinced by Qiao Huaping. He felt a little reassured when he heard what Qiao Huaping said. However, he was still worried when he thought about Fangjiabao's relationship: "... They are related to
It's better to have something to do with Mr. Qianliang than us not knowing anything and being blind."
Qiao Huaping smiled and said: "Not necessarily. I already know the general geographical shape of those three pieces of land. According to the characteristics, it is very easy to find people to ask for directions...Tomorrow I will bring some old tricks of farming in our village.
Let’s go to those pieces of land for on-site inspection to see which piece of land is more suitable for the long-term development of our Liujin Village.”
Village Chief Lu was overjoyed. He responded with a bunch of words and praised repeatedly: "Xiao Qiao, having you in the village is a blessing brought by the virtues accumulated by our ancestors in Liujin Village!"
Qiao Huaping thought, indeed, a big treasure like her was reborn from modern times, and she happened to be reborn in Liujin Village. From this point of view, Liujin Village is still somewhat lucky!
After Qiao Huaping finished discussing with Village Chief Lu, he took the snack box back to their resting place.
Mei Qingyao, the eldest brother, is very competent and is playing with his younger brothers and sisters.
Mei Qingying braided Mei Qingyao's hair. Bai Feiye leaned obediently in the arms of his second brother Mei Qingyu, watching his sister braiding his eldest brother's hair with his big eyes.
Mei Qinghuang was taking some wild fruits and mashing them in a mortar, looking like he wanted to make some sweet drinks.
The children were enjoying themselves happily, and the dim sunlight reflected on them, as if they were coated with a faint golden light.
She stepped forward with a smile.
"I'm back! See what I brought back?"
"mother!"
Several children laughed and ran towards Qiao Huaping. Qiao Huaping suddenly felt that his day's running around had incomparable meaning.
…
The next day, the villagers heard that Qiao Huaping was going to take people to see the pieces of land that might be allocated to them, and everyone was very excited.
In the end, Qiao Huaping chose a few well-known farming experts in the village and a few long-time hunters.
Village Chief Lu was still a little worried: "We are outside the vicinity of Yixiang County. There may be refugees there. You can bring a few young people with you."
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Qiao, take me, take me." The young students were all very enthusiastic.
Facing the expectant looks of everyone, Qiao Huaping had no choice but to choose four more young juniors.
In this way, together with Qiao Huaping, there were a total of about ten people in the group, and the team set off to see the land in great force.
Qiao Huaping went to guard the outside and temporarily prohibited the refugees from entering the officers and soldiers near Yixiang.
The leader is the one who let Jincun in before.
"Good Lord." Qiao Huaping greeted with a smile.
I have seen many refugees with either sad faces or faces filled with bitterness and hatred. Suddenly I saw a smiling face, and the officer's expression softened a little.
If you look closely, isn't this the benefactor of Miss Sun who personally brought the county magistrate's handwritten letter to let them go?
——Miss Sun is no one else, she is their future guard wife!
This official already had a good impression of Qiao Huaping, but now he couldn't help but smile on his face: "It's you. What's the matter?"
Qiao Huaping didn't talk nonsense and said straightforwardly: "Master, I'm here to ask you about a few places." She explained the characteristics of those pieces of land. The official had been stationed there for a long time. When she heard it, she naturally knew that it was
where.
Immediately, he pointed out the direction to Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Huaping thanked him and led the people in the direction pointed by the official.
A soldier next to the officer came up and winked: "Boss, take a closer look at that woman just now. She is actually quite good-looking... She came to see you. Is she interested in you?"
The officer slapped the soldier on the back and yelled: "What are you thinking about! That is the benefactor of our future guard wife! Show me some highlights from now on! Be polite when you meet someone!"
