Ouyang Meihua gave birth to another son, who was smiling so hard that her teeth couldn't even see her eyes. She didn't have to worry anymore.
Mother Li is also happy, her family is getting more and more prosperous.
Damai is the happiest. Of her two younger brothers, her father's waist is straighter.
When Li Liguo heard that he had another son, he happily threw his eldest son away.
"You have a brother."
Yanyan was thrown around by his father, and he wanted to tell his father loudly that he already had two younger brothers, but his father was very happy, so forget it, as long as his father was happy.
Seeing a woman giving birth with her own eyes, Tian Jing was frightened.
It's too scary. How could she give birth to three children? Fortunately, she never let Brother Zheng watch over her delivery.
…
The Xiao family was completely settled.
Every day I stroll to the village head to see the progress of the courtyard house, chat with the workers, and sympathize with their difficulties.
The workers have a good attitude towards the Xiao family.
As the Xiao family buys things from the villagers without negotiating the price, giving them whatever the villagers ask for, and talking to the villagers about the hardships of being farmers, the villagers' attitude towards the Xiao family has also changed.
Village Chief Ou specially came to see Li Zhengguo and his wife, "What are the Xiao family going to do? Are they going to use money to win people's hearts? In the future, when they leave, the villagers will definitely be reluctant to part with them."
Tian Jing shook his head, "This is the method that capitalists are best at, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"These are your unscrupulous descendants. They are really difficult to manage. You should give up treating them."
"I've given up on them."
Village Chief Ou simply said, "Next year, don't sell seedlings to them. Don't sell any seedlings. Common prosperity is impossible. You should lead those families to get rich first, and let them continue to be jealous."
.”
"Haha." Tian Jing smirked twice, "Have you finally figured it out?"
Village Chief Ou sighed, "I can't figure it out anymore. Mayor Ji asked a worker to bring me a letter."
"It is enough to have four families including you and the Li Liguo, Niu and Wang families."
"If common prosperity is really realized in Kushan, other villages will also demand common prosperity. He can't serve these disobedient people well, and he will specifically hold them back."
"No wonder."
Tian Jing suddenly realized, "Why did you suddenly figure it out and stop being the village father? It turns out that Mayor Ji made the decision."
"Village father?"
Seeing that Captain Ou didn't understand what the village father meant, Tian Jing explained to him.
"The father of the whole village."
"Haha." Village Chief Ou smiled, "If I really have so many unfilial sons, I will be so angry that my life will be shortened."
"Okay, I'm leaving. That's what I'm asking. I can't control the Xiao family, so I can't help but let them live in it, right?"
Tian Jing doesn't care what the Xiao family does.
It was just that he had spent almost all his money in Kyoto, and the courtyard collapsed again, so he came to her to hide from the disaster.
After the money is sent from there, it's strange that these big men are still willing to live in this rural place where they can step on chicken shit as soon as they step out.
…
After Li Liguo once again sent vegetables to the provincial capital, he brought Zeng Shengchun from Duigua.
Tian Jing and Zeng Shengchun also met for the first time.
But Zeng Shengchun was shocked when he saw Tian Jing.
Tian Jing was still somewhat curious about this clever Duigua man, so his surprise did not escape Tian Jing's eyes.
Tian Jing pretended not to know, holding one in her arms and two beside her, they went to the hills to pick watermelons together.
Zeng Shengchun was very friendly to Hao Hao and Xiao Bo. He helped the two children choose melons in the melon field.
Haohao pulled his younger brother ungratefully, "This is my melon field. Our father will help us choose it."
Facing the two very defensive children, Zeng Shengchun just smiled and said, "Okay, ask your dad to help you choose."
Li Zhengguo chose a medium-sized melon weighing six or seven pounds and handed it to Li Weikang, "Send it to the melon shed over there."
After sitting down in the melon shed, Tian Jing asked Li Weikang to stop and try a piece of watermelon.
Li Weikang ran faster, "You are not allowed to eat while working."
Tian Jing shrugged and said to the eldest son, "Split it."
"Crack."
Li Weihao used a knife in his hand to smash a few pieces of watermelon on the bench.
The red melon flesh and sweet fragrance float in the melon shed.
Little girl Lili poked her head at the watermelon.
Haohao picked up the smallest piece and put it to his sister's mouth.
Lili opened her little mouth and took a small bite. Her slender eyes narrowed, looking intoxicated.
Tian Jing couldn't help but laugh. This daughter of hers is a greedy little guy.
…
In the melon field, Zeng Shengchun asked Li Zhengguo, "Is your wife's surname Tian?"
"Yes."
Zeng Shengchun lowered his head and carefully selected the melons, "I think these melons are not much different. I will pull a cart every other day, and you can pick them at the foot of the mountain in advance."
"OK."
Cart after cart of watermelon was hauled to the river, and workers on the construction site helped carry it across the river.
I really don’t want to use my own people at all.
As soon as Mr. Xiao and his brothers arrived at the melon field, they were stopped by Li Weikang.
"This is a private mountain area and no entry is allowed."
"Let's buy watermelon."
"Not for sale."
"We'll add money."
"If you don't want to sell, you won't sell if you say you won't sell. Leave immediately."
Li Minkang waved the thin bamboo branch in his hand and drove away the Xiao family.
Looking at the cart pulling towards the river as they passed by, Mr. Xiao Er asked his elder brother, "What if you don't sell it to us?"
"Ruined."
Mr. Xiao Er immediately shook his head, "You go, I won't go, and neither does Xueping."
Mr. Xiao glared at his second brother, "Can't there be someone else? Are there few people who hate her?"
"Brother, the villagers are not strict. If they are not caught, they might even brag to others and sell themselves out. Once they are caught, they will sell us all."
"Can we still wait so safely for the person who sends us money?"
Mr. Xiao also hesitated, "Are we just going to watch her make money? We can't even get into the vegetable shed."
Mr. Xiao Er persuaded, "Before the money is delivered, we should be honest. Otherwise, once we are driven away, the people who come will be completely unable to contact us."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Er's words completely explain what it means that those who understand current affairs are heroes."
A cold female voice sounded behind them, frightening the brothers so much that they immediately turned around, but saw no one.
Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, he heard a cold voice say, "Look above."
When the brothers looked up, they saw figures floating on the treetops.
The figure fluttered down, "Master Xiao, learn more from your second brother, otherwise, I can ask you to stay in this mountain forever."
"And the people who send you money will think that you left here on your own."
"The feeling of being a savage for the rest of your life should be enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life, right?"
"You? How did you..."
"You? How did you...?"
The two brothers asked half a sentence in unison, and Tian Jing kindly filled in the blanks before answering.
"You want to ask me how I knew you went to the melon fields, how I heard what you said, and how I came close to you quietly?"
"Actually, there is only one answer to all your questions. That is, as long as I want, the entire village is under my surveillance."
"I know what time you go out every day, who you go to and what you buy, how much you spend, and what you say."
"I want to see how long you are going to jump, and I want to see what you want to do. It turns out that you just want to destroy my melon field."
"You can give it a try and see if the villagers dare to take your job."
"You can also try it yourself and see if you can get close to the melon fields at night."
"Of course, if something happens if you enter my private property, I will not be responsible for it. It is the same as breaking into a private house. You deserve to die."
