Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 162 Practical Actions and Sincerity

Wang Sheng, Liu Changde, and Liu Chang were all overjoyed when they heard the words.

"Girl, when do you want this green-headed radish, I'll have someone deliver it to you."

Wang Sheng looked at Liu Qingcao, and his gray eyes were faintly bright. He thought, if he could sell them earlier, the villagers of Qingshi Village would have more money and spend the rest of the winter in peace. up.

Although Liu Changde didn't speak, his piercing eyes stared straight at Liu Qingcao, making her somewhat uncomfortable.

"Uncles, I'll come and collect this green-headed radish tomorrow."

Liu Qingcao paused, then spoke again.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu, our Shihe Village is now hiring people to reclaim wasteland. According to the requirements, we can get 150 Wen for an acre of land. You two villages have a lot of people, and there is no work this winter. If you are not afraid of the road If it’s too much trouble, the family can arrange for one person to come to Shihe Village to work and earn money.”

After Liu Qingcao finished speaking, Jiang Dafu turned his head to look at Liu Qingcao with puzzled eyes.

Liu Qingcao smiled at him, shook her head slightly, did not explain, and then looked at the two old men in front of her.

The two gray-haired old men shook their lips, and it took a long time for them to react, put down their bodies, and said in unison excitedly and gratefully:

"Thank you little girl, thank you Village Chief Jiang!"

Jiang Dafu shook his head and looked in the direction of Liu Qingcao, his eyes full of trust.

"You can just thank Qingcao for this matter, I can't help you much."

Liu Qingcao also shook her head and smiled, took over the conversation, and followed suit.

"There's nothing I can't thank you for. We are all members of the same village now, and I hope that we will all work together in the future to live a better life under the leadership of Village Chief Jiang."

"Well said, well said!" Wang Sheng's eyes flashed, and his tone was agitated.

"That's right, Qingcao is so young, and her eloquence is so good. I think Village Chief Jiang must also have a good eye."

Liu Changde also nodded, very happy in his heart, he understood a little now that the girl in front of them might be the key to leading the villagers up.

Hearing the old man's praise, Liu Qingcao just smiled lightly, didn't speak any more, and left the rest of the words to Jiang Dafu.

There are quite a lot of green-headed radishes in the two villages, and buying them all at once requires a lot of manpower to make dried radishes and mustard. For these people, Liu Qingcao naturally prefers the villagers in her village.

As for the villagers of this village who were originally working on land reclamation, Liu Qingcao led them to the factory shed, and the next land reclamation will use the villagers of these two villages.

She has three purposes for doing this. The first is to allow the people in these two villages to survive this winter.

The second is to allow the villagers of the two villages to quickly mingle with the villagers of the same village and get to know each other.

The third and most important purpose is that she will suggest that Jiang Dafu arrange two people from the village to take over the positions of the two village chiefs.

And everything she did was to make the two of them more smoothly accepted by the villagers of the two villages.

Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Qingcao's lips rippled slightly as she walked in Liuwan Village.

In winter, everyone wraps themselves up very thickly, but the clothes are old and thin. No matter how thick they are, they can’t withstand the severe cold of this winter. Most of the villagers don’t go out when they have nothing to do. They hide in their houses and rely on charcoal fires to resist the cold. .

Liu Qingcao was walking on the dirt road, looking around with her eyes, occasionally seeing a man chopping firewood in the yard, or a woman washing clothes in the yard, if one ignored the sad look on his face, it would look warm and romantic.

Liuwan Village is poor, just like the original Shihe Village, but because of the winter radishes, the number of people who died of starvation in Liuwan Village is not as many as in Shihe Village, but they are thin and skinny, and they seem to be alive and dead. Not much to go.

Along the way, no one explained, and Liu Qingcao could understand everything.

"If you want the villagers in the two villages to change their appearance, you have to survive this winter safely."

Liu Qingcao looked at the dilapidated thatched hut and muttered something.

She has now bought green-headed radishes from the two villages and arranged work for them. This winter, for them, is more hopeful than in previous years, but it is far from enough.

Liu Qingcao looked at the land covered with thin snow, her thoughts wandered.

……

"Qingcao, can this work?"

On the way back, after listening to Liu Qingcao's explanation, Jiang Dafu frowned and hesitated to speak.

Liu Qingcao nodded with a slight smile, and answered firmly.

"Brother Jiang, it's definitely possible. County Magistrate Gan and Wanli are handing over these two villages to you. If you don't show some practical actions and sincerity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."

"That's right, the higher ups are watching us..."

Jiang Dafu opened his mouth bitterly, looking at the snowflakes all around, he felt uncomfortable.

Liu Qingcao shook her head slightly, and changed the subject.

"Brother Jiang, have you discussed everything with the two uncles?"

"Well, the talk is over. I repeated what you said to them. They were so excited that their voices trembled a little."

Jiang Dafu felt the same way at the time, and when he talked to them, his voice slowed down a little.

Liu Qingcao nodded, not noticing Jiang Dafu's abnormality, and continued.

"Brother Jiang, I'm in a hurry today, so I won't arrange for people to collect green-headed radishes. You let the villagers who opened up wasteland today open a round number. Tomorrow, I will come to these two villages to pick up people to open up wasteland. Brother Jiang It is to stay and arrange for the villagers who are willing to enter the factory shed to do other jobs."

"it is good."

The next day, Liu Qingcao put on a thick cotton coat, came out of the house, caught up with the ox cart, and went leisurely to Qingshi Village and Liuwan Village.

Before she arrived at Liuwan Village, she saw from a distance a group of people standing in darkness at the entrance of the village, rubbing their hands, panting, and stomping their feet.

Two abdicated old village chiefs led the villagers to carry the burden and stood behind them.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu, so early?" Liu Qingcao got off the bullock cart with a smile and greeted them.

Wang Sheng looked at Liu Qingcao, then looked at the bullock cart behind her, his eyes became brighter.

"Qingcao, you are early too."

"Look, everyone has picked here the green-headed radishes from home. They won't be able to pull the ox cart in a while. They are going to open up wasteland in your village, so they pick them up by the way."

Wang Sheng turned his body sideways, let out the people behind him, and stood in front of Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao looked at a group of 27 to [-], thin but still strong men, all carrying baskets on their shoulders, looking at her with hope in their eyes.

And on the grain and grass beside them, there are hills of green-headed radishes piled up, large and small. The three nearest piles, visible to the naked eye, can be estimated at six hundred catties.

"Okay, let's load it in the car first, if it can't fit, I can make another two trips later, Uncle Wang."

Liu Qingcao estimated that the green-headed radishes in these two villages together might weigh more than [-] catties. It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to pull them by her ox cart alone. If someone helps her, Then you can save a trip. Thinking of this, Liu Qingcao nodded decisively in agreement.

When an oxcart and a group of people appeared in Shihe Village in a mighty manner, the villagers of Shihe Village were stunned for a moment. Thinking of what Village Chief Jiang said, a friendly smile appeared on everyone's faces.

"Qingcao, you're back, there are so many carrots, do you need us all to help?"

Xiong Wu laughed and said loudly.

Liu Qingcao shook her head, slightly raised the corners of her lips, with a look of gratitude on her face.

"Brother Xiong, no need, you'll be busy later, I'll be driving the bullock cart, so I can do it after a few more trips."

"Okay, then be careful on the road, if you need to shout."

Seeing her refusal, Xiong Wu didn't force it, and simply left a sentence to let them all go first.
