Tiehua probed carefully: "Ling'er, can I touch you?"
After signaling to Tang Zangyue, Sister Ling nodded slowly, "Yes, but you have to touch it slowly and gently."
"I know, I know, horses are very expensive. I'm afraid if they get damaged, I won't even be able to pay for them if I sell them!"
Then, Tiehua whispered: "Can I be the first?"
Sister Ling: "Of course, you are my best friend!"
Tiehua: (*^▽^*) It feels good to jump in line.
Tang Zangyue glanced at the group of children who were lining up obediently. All of them had bright faces. After moving the things with Aunt Liu, she said, "Make some yam for the children."
There are more yams grown in the south, and Tang Zangyue collected a lot of them in his space. He just took advantage of Aunt Liu's craftsmanship to give these children a taste.
Yams are common, but sugar is not. So after a child got two pieces of shredded yam, he was so surprised that he was overwhelmed.
Tang Zangyue smiled and said: "The winter solstice will be in a few months, which happens to be Sister Ling's birthday. Her friends will be invited to celebrate her birthday. Don't forget it."
Winter solstice, birthday.
Tang Zangyue: "I won't delay your reunion with your family in the evening. Just come and have a light meal at noon."
Have a casual meal...
A few children left eagerly in advance.
After the children left, Xiao Zhonglu and Wang Xiaoliu unloaded the carriage and placed it in the vacant front yard. The carriage was tied to the small stable in the backyard, and they dug out a few cabbages in the cellar to feed them.
Xiao Zhongli frowned and said, "Grandma, it's better to get some food and grass."
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Since I bought the horse, I will prepare food and grass."
That night, Tang Zangyue came to the woodshed, glanced at the corners, and filled the small corners with grain and grass before returning to the women's bedroom and falling asleep.
At the same time, the village chief's house was also very lively.
When the village chief informed the whole family about Tang Zangyue's needs, almost everyone was very excited. Although the manpower to help Tang Zangyue's stall had not yet been decided, the daughters-in-law of several houses secretly started to think about it.
On the second day, after the village chief went to visit several men he was interested in, the daughters-in-law of several houses also went to Sister Zhang as if they were on stimulants, asking them to be as filial as they wanted.
"Mom, this is my roasted corn. Try it. It's hot and delicious. I even mixed in sugar."
On the surface, the family's income is shared by the public, but each house has its own little idea and saves some money privately. Sister Zhang turns a blind eye. She knows that the candy sprinkled with corn kernels is this
The private room of the children's house.
Although I cursed the extravagance in my heart, I accepted it and made a decision.
Tang Zangyue got up early and went to the cellar to take a look and found that the fruits burned yesterday were actually frozen...
She also asked Xiao Yuechun to boil a bucket of water and freeze the other empty spaces with raw water. Then she moved the space back in and separated the raw water and frozen boiled water, so that she would not have to sit idle this winter.
As soon as he finished filling the barrels of water, he was interrupted by Xiao Zhongli's voice coming from the cellar entrance: "Grandma, the village chief has brought someone here for you to take a look!"
Tang Zangyue then neatly left the cellar, walked out of the kitchen, and came to the front yard.
Half of the front yard that Xiao Jinhuan takes care of has been planted with vegetable seeds. I heard that the small things made of straw were used to lure the children in the village. By the way, they also coaxed the women in the village to become excited and pay attention to the little things when growing vegetables.
and transmitted to him.
Now Xiao Jamhuan is thinking about his other half.
There was really no one growing herbal medicine in the village. Xiao Jinghuan asked Xue Yingxue nearby, and the latter said that he bought herbal medicine at home and had no planting experience.
In fact, he thought about asking Tang Zangyue, but seeing how busy his mother was when she came back, he always felt that he could handle such a small thing and not burden his mother! So he went to town to read books, intending to collect knowledge first and then put it into practice.
.
So this half of the front yard was still empty, so Xiao Zhonglu arranged for the village chief and his people to wait in this area.
Tang Zangyue glanced at the people who came, there were about ten in total. The selection was also a big trouble.
She prefers people who have less things to do, so when she asked about their family situation and saw the village chief talking alone, her expression changed slightly. She knew that only this one among them had lied.
The first thing I eliminate in my heart is the liar.
What she wants is someone who can work in the fields, not someone who is arrogant.
This type of person shows that when it comes to working hard, they can use their brains but not exert any effort. Naturally, they will be the first to be eliminated.
The second is that families are too complicated.
Why is it so complicated to judge? Of course, it’s not what these men say, it’s how she dug a hole and tricked it out.
"How many people are in the family?"
"Ten mouths."
"How many brothers?"
"two."
"Are you the youngest?"
"No, I'm the second child."
"Married?"
"not yet……"
…
And so on.
Finally, the target was exceeded, leaving six people.
Tang Zangyue really felt that the village chief was reliable. She originally only wanted to keep five people, but no matter who she kicked out of the six people, she felt reluctant to let go.
Without him, it completely meets her conditions!
The excitement on the village chief's face could not be concealed.
Contributing to the village, creating profits for the villagers, seeing them live a good life and having enough to eat, his face will be bright, and he will be able to win glory in front of the clan chiefs and ancestors.
However, some people were dissatisfied.
"why it's not me!"
The village chief's smile was a little cracked.
Even Tang Zangyue's eyes turned cold.
The man still didn't give up and said: "Why not me!"
Tang Zangyue: "Are you sure you want me to tell you?"
"I don't accept it!"
Tang Zangyue said without batting an eyelid: "I just asked you if there was a marriage in your family, and you dodged your eyes. Although I'm not sure whether you lied, everyone in the village knows the basics, and they can find out with a little inquiry, not to mention that there are
The village chief is... village chief, oh?"
The last note was so full of ridicule that the village chief who led the group of people to Xiao's house became pale.
Village Chief: "Qin Zhuzi! You insist that I say something nice to you, don't you?"
This Qin Tuzi's parents were both dead and he had no brothers or sisters, but he was quite capable. He had been married several times and all of them were widows, which made the village talk about it.
Qin Zhuozi's family has no land, and he usually relies on doing part-time jobs here and there to support himself. Originally, the village chief didn't want to call Qin Zhuozi, but he followed him. He thought that Mrs. Tang probably looked down on Qin Zhuozi, so he didn't.
stop……
Unexpectedly, this Qin Tuzi not only came here shamelessly, he didn't even want to lose face! He also wanted an explanation!
Disgraced our ancestors!
The village chief almost took off his shoehorn and replaced Qin Zhuzi's deceased parents to teach the grandson a lesson!
Tang Zangyue waved her hand, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you are not selected. There will be many opportunities for the Xiao family in the future. I will notify the village chief when the time comes. There is nothing wrong with being positive, but no matter what time, I like to tell the truth.
honest."
Under Tang Zangyue's eyes, the village chief finally concluded: "The old lady will be prosperous together with our Jiuli Village!"
