As the ice and snow gradually melted, the villagers of Guojiacun, who had been thinking about enclosing the land and driving to the sea, finally started again.

Chang Pingning was dragged to the town by Meng Xia again, telling the people in the town that the fishing village in their village had reopened.

As for the two stalls at the port, Chang Pingning could only leave them to the Guo family and the Chang family, and follow Meng Xia to the beach to collect the ticket fees.

There was joy inside and outside the village. The villagers in Guojia Village were happy to receive money again; the people in the town were happy because they had a good place to go in their spare time.

However, Chang Pingning always felt that not as many people came as before. Just when she was about to talk to Meng Xia, she saw Meng Xia staring at the wooden barrel in front of her with a look of regret, which contained the milk tea made by Meng Xia. Chang Pingning Ning knows.

"There are so many left today." Meng Xia was very sad. "The milk tea I packed today is already less than yesterday. Why is there still some left today?"

In terms of "normal" years ago, the milk tea brought by Meng Xia was basically finished quickly, and there was never any leftover.But after I started traveling to sea again after the New Year, I had leftover milk tea almost every day for the past two or three days.

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia and shook the notebook in his hand: "I think there are not as many people coming recently as before."

After listening to Chang Pingning's words, Meng Xia looked at the crowd on the beach. It was much sparser than the previous day: "Spring plowing is about to begin, and probably no one is interested in playing." Meng Xia seemed to be explaining.

After hearing this, Chang Pingning nodded and offered: "How about we also open up wasteland and farm on the barren mountains?"

"No, no, no." Meng Xia waved her hands quickly after hearing Chang Pingning's words.

Chang Pingning smiled and explained that she wanted people in the village to open up wasteland and cultivate land.Mainly because the price of rice, the raw material for the sea urchin fried rice on the stall, has increased recently.If they continue to maintain the original price, they will make much less money than before.

If she could farm her own land in the village, she wouldn't have to go to the town to buy rice.Chang Pingning said while looking at Meng Xia's expression, wanting to know whether Meng Xia agreed to her proposal.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xia nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "But I don't think it is necessary to start from the barren mountains outside the village." Meng Xia thought of some abandoned farmland in the village.

After the morning rush to the sea, Meng Xia called the people on patrol together and told them that he had an idea.

Chang Pingning on the side was surprised. She didn't expect Meng Xia to act so quickly. She was still thinking, but Meng Xia had already started to tell everyone about her thoughts.

Meng Xia stood in the middle of the crowd and said that she found that it was not cost-effective to have to buy some of the dishes needed to make seafood when going to the market.Moreover, there are also some abandoned farmlands in the village, so we might as well farm there.

At the same time, he motioned to the people in the village to look at Madam Chang and told everyone that Madam Chang had noticed that the price of rice had been rising recently. If everyone could grow rice and vegetables in the village, it would save the village a lot of money.

After Meng Xia finished speaking, some villagers began to protest loudly. They had to patrol again, go to the sea again, and some of them were illiterate and had to go to school.Why do you still want to farm now?None of their villages make a living by farming.

However, Meng Xia seemed to be accustomed to the opposition among the villagers. She thought for a while, calculated an account for the villagers in front of her, and told the villagers in front of her that if every household in the village had its own grain reserves, it would be possible to process seafood. Save a lot of money on this.

After listening to Meng Xia's words, the villagers looked at each other, and most of them were moved.

Chang Pingning's eyes shifted from the villagers to Meng Xia. Chang Pingning himself was worried that the village would be affected by floods and there would be no food to eat, so he wanted to store some food in advance, but he couldn't say these things directly. came out, and the recent rise in rice prices happened to be the reason for her.

But why didn't Meng Xia also agree with her thoughts?Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia doubtfully, but Meng Xia seemed to notice Chang Pingning's gaze and winked at her.

The villagers were still discussing and arguing. Meng Xia thought for a while and told everyone that if you have any ideas about farming in the village, you can go back to the village and tell the village chief.

It didn't take long for the villagers in Guojia Village to start tending the land again.However, because the land has not been planted for a long time, the harvest is uncertain for a while.

Meng Xia generously told everyone that if money is made from what they grow, the whole village will share it. By the way, he also added some details on how to distribute the profits.

Therefore, the villagers of Guojiacun, in addition to patrolling the area where land is enclosed and driven to the sea, come to the village to farm.

Chang Pingning did not expect that Meng Xia would push this matter forward so quickly, and encountered almost no resistance in the process.

After Chang Pingning returned home, when she wanted to talk to Guo Bomo about the incident, she found that Guo Bomo was looking at her with a troubled face.

This kind of expression is very familiar to Chang Pingning. In the past, if Guo Bomo secretly agreed to go to sea without telling her, he would have the same embarrassed expression now.

"What's wrong?" Chang Pingning asked, "Are you going to sea again?"

Guo Bomo was a little surprised, but he quickly explained: "It's not about going to sea, it's about farming. I want to go back to the village to farm, and I don't want to go to the stall at the port."

After hearing Guo Bomo's answer, the surprised person turned out to be Chang Pingning.She feels that her stall is quite profitable, and it doesn’t require going to sea, which is at least easier than farming.

"Why do you want to come back to farm?" Chang Pingning asked. She didn't understand Guo Bomo's thoughts.

Guo Bomo looked at Chang Pingning's concerned expression. He couldn't explain it. He didn't like working at Chang Pingning's stall. This made him feel that he relied on Chang Pingning for his livelihood, but he couldn't tell Chang Pingning this idea. .

After thinking about it, Guo Bomo gave a casual excuse, like he knew a lot of people at the port and people often came to ask him when he would go to sea.

Guo Bomo was asked a lot, and he longed for the scenery where the sea and the sky met again, but he thought of his wife and parents at home, and felt that it would be better to be more secure, so he felt that the opportunity for everyone to farm in the village was very suitable. .

After hearing Guo Bomo's explanation, Chang Pingning shook his head helplessly: "If you want to go back to the village to farm, you can come back. If you are too tired from farming, you can go back to the port." He accepted Guo Bomo's statement.

Seeing Guo Bomo chopping firewood in the yard, Chang Pingning sighed again: "There will be no one in my stall again. Forget it, I can go back and do it myself."

Chang Pingning thought about it and hurried out to tell Meng Xia that she was short of people again and wanted to go back to guard the stall.

Guo Bomo in the Guo family yard looked at his wife's leaving figure and wondered if it was his own fault.

Just as Guo Bomo was thinking, the courtyard door was pushed open by Zhao Chuantou. (End of chapter)
