I was a farmer in ancient times

Chapter 19 My Name Is Ding Rui

The Ding family has a total of 270 mu of land here.In ancient times, it was difficult for Xiufu to be accepted by the world, and the tenant only knew that the owner's name was Ding Huixin, but he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.For convenience, Ding came back with the child as Ding Huixin's wife.So Gao Renwu will be called Ding Renwu in the future.

But Li Rui has always rejected this name. Since he wants to live with Ding, it has nothing to do with her surname, but he is a little sorry for his father.But the word Rui was given by my grandfather, and I am also called 18 years old. I am really reluctant to give up, so I just call him Ding Rui from now on.

Not only did Ding not object to Li Rui's new name --- Ding Rui, but he also thought it was very good and very supportive.With family, fame, and a young mother, Ding Rui has a sense of belonging to this ancient era.

The land here has been taken care of by a man named Zhang Qing.As for whom the 200 mu of land is leased to, she herself is not very clear, and she hardly checks the accounts for her.Every year, Zhang Qing deposits the rent in Baopeng Bank.

Not long after, Zhang Qing came.

Zhang Qing is a seemingly honest and responsible farmer, a little bookish, looks in his early forties, and although his clothes are worn out, they are well washed.Behind him was the little girl who brought them lunch at noon.

The little girl has two croissant braids on her head, and she flickers when she walks.He smiled at Ding Rui, showing a pair of cute little canine teeth at the corners of his mouth.

"Boss! I'm Zhang Qing. This is my girl named Zhang Yiyi."

"Hello Auntie, Hello Brother!" Zhang Yiyi's sweet smile and polite greeting clearly won the favor of the mother and son.

"This is my son Ding Rui."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang!" Ding Rui stepped forward to salute.But Zhang Qing dared to accept his gift.

"Zhang Qing, you have worked hard these past few years!" Ding wanted to pour tea, but there was no hot water at home.

Zhang Yiyi smiled, turned and left.

Zhang Qing took a stack of account books, Ding Rui probably counted them, there were more than ten books.All the accounts for the past 12 years are registered on it.

The 270 mu of land is leased to 23 households in total.Zhang Qing wanted to explain everything to Ding Shi, but Ding Shi closed the account book and said, "Please ask them to come over at noon tomorrow, I have something to say. I can trust you for the rest."

The sentence "I can trust you" brought tears to Zhang Qing's eyes.He knew that his boss had always taken good care of them, his tenants, in recent years, and he never expected his boss to be so accommodating.

After a while, Zhang Yiyi came again, this time also Zhang Qing's wife, a quiet but hardworking woman.But his first impression on Ding Rui was that he was shy.

She poured the boiled hot water for the three of Ding, and stood alone by the side without making a sound.

"Boss, what do you think is missing at home? I'll ask Yi Yi's mother to prepare it for you." Aunt Zhang looked at Ding when she heard that she had something to do.

Mrs. Ding shook her head, "Thank you, this place is cleaned very well. Mrs. Zhang is very diligent." Aunt Zhang blushed when she heard the compliment, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Uncle Zhang, can our mother and son go to your house to play with each other these two days?" Ding Rui thought, if the mother cooks again, the house will probably be burned down!

"Of course there is no problem." Zhang Qing readily agreed. "My boss is coming for dinner, why don't you prepare it?" Aunt Zhang walked away immediately after hearing this.

"Auntie, wait a minute!" Ding Rui hurriedly took out his mother's masterpiece.The three members of the Zhang family were dumbfounded when they saw such a large basin of noodles.This is the amount of five meals for the Zhang family's family, so it's no wonder they are not dumbfounded.

In the end, Aunt Zhang thought that Ding Rui and his mother had a lot of food, so they rolled out all the noodles for dinner. Fortunately, they were not cooked, otherwise, the current weather would definitely be bad.

Ding Rui asked to take all the finished noodles outside to dry.In this way, five people ate for several days.

The night in the village is very quiet.As soon as night fell, Li Rui came out for a walk.Apart from the chirping of crickets, there is endless silence here.

Ding Rui was lying on the rocks at the entrance of the village. Since I can't go back, I have to live in this ancient times.Not only to live, but also to live wonderfully.

Since then, Ding Rui will exercise every morning and evening without interruption.Although Ding Rui's current body is very weak, he will definitely be better than the 21st century if he persists.After all, back then, he only went to school four hours a week.Now he works out four hours a day.As the saying goes, the stupid bird flies first, and hard work can make up for its clumsiness.

The effect of exercise is good.

Before dawn the next day, Ding Rui began to exercise in the yard.Hold on until lunch.

After lunch, the tenants arrived not long after.They want to see what the benefactor who has taken care of them for so many years looks like.The simple faces are full of gratitude.

Ding Rui set up a table in the yard, with two chairs beside the table.Ding put the ledger on the table.There was no speech for half a day.

She didn't speak, and the people below didn't dare to speak out.

"Boss, everyone is here!" Zhang Qing coughed lightly and reminded him from the side.

"I have a total of 270 mu of land here. I have leased it to you for 12 years, right?" Mrs. Ding did not look up, and took a sip from her teacup.

Hearing that the owner brought up the old account, he dared not say a word.

"Speaking of conscience, how do I treat you?" Mrs. Ding raised her head, and all the people below lowered their heads.Don't know what Ding is going to do?Even Ding Rui doesn't know what mother is going to do now.

"The owner has always taken good care of us!"

One person had a voice, and all the people below followed suit.

"Thanks to the care of my boss these years, our family will not starve to death!" The man who spoke was a man in his thirties, and his clothes were the most shabby among all the people.After speaking, he wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"Boss, this is Zhang Ping." Mrs. Ding looked at it. He knew this Zhang Ping. He gave them rent-free for six of the 12 years.

Every family that came here has received favors from the Ding family. When Zhang Ping cried, several people started to cry too.

"Okay, since I have treated you very well. From then on, we are a family. I will burn all the books here today." When they heard that the books were going to be burned, all the people below raised their heads in surprise. Looking at Ding Shi.Wondering if I heard wrong.

"Starting today, I hope everyone will be united. I know that this year's plague has made most people lose their crops, so you can rest assured. I will not charge rent this year."

When they heard that there would be no rent collection this year, most of the people below burst into tears with excitement.When one person cried, many people cried together, making Ding Rui feel his eyes were wet.

"Yesterday, I asked Zhang Qing to take me to the field to have a look, only to find that there was nothing planted in the field. Later I found out that there is nothing that everyone eats now, let alone seeds. So I asked Zhang Qing to collect I don’t know if anyone is willing to go online to buy seeds.”

"I go!"

"I go!"

"I am coming too!"

. . . . . .

After solving the seed problem, Ding asked everyone to tell me, what problems still need to be solved?Let's find a way together.

Someone raised the issue of water.In addition to the plague this year, there is a severe drought.This put Ding in a difficult situation.She had thought about the seed issue before summoning everyone, but she wondered if she would deal with the water issue for a while.

Seeing that the boss was thinking, he didn't dare to make a sound!Although Ding's face is full of acne scars, in their hearts, Ding is a Bodhisattva, a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering!

"This matter makes me think about it, and I will make a decision after I go to the field to see it later!"

After everyone left, Ding asked Aunt Zhang to take her to the field for a long time, but she still had no clue.

Ding Rui thought that since he wanted to live in ancient times, he had to adapt as soon as possible, so he followed Zhang Qing to buy seeds.

There were more than 20 people who went with them, and one person came from each family. Although Zhang Qing said that so many people were not needed, everyone could contribute.Ding Rui was deeply moved.

After asking all the way, he realized that what he was going to plant now was corn, which could be harvested in about four months.What Zhang Qing said was passionate, but Ding Rui was more sensible than him. What did everyone eat for these four months?
