Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 88 Raise your hand and swear
"In autumn, Lan Erzhuang, it is true that he left the house cleanly, and indeed he had no money, but this house is not for nothing. Some people say that Lan Erzhuang has a good life, and he is indeed a good life , It is said that what is good is rewarded with good, I believe it now, a kind person deserves to be treated sincerely."

Having said this, Li Zheng glanced around sternly,
"As soon as he moved out, he ran into the old man in the capital who was looking for someone to help him buy and farm land. The old man bought a large piece of land in this village, and when he knew that Er Zhuang's family had no land to live in, he helped him. He bought the warehouse in our village, here is the deed, everyone come and have a look, I didn’t charge him a tael of silver, and their family didn’t live in vain.”

Speaking of this, his tone was obviously a bit bad. Li was holding up the house deed in his hand and showing it to the villagers, but Lan Erzhuang was very strange. When did his house deed go into the hands of Old Uncle Li?
"Er Zhuang, is what I said a little bit of a lie?"

"No, I can swear by raising my hand that everything Li Zheng said is true."

Because his heart is magnanimous, he did not show any weakness. Lan Erzhuang raised his hands seriously to cooperate with Li Zheng,

"I don't dare to say anything else, just because Er Zhuang can do this today. I also hope that those who chew their tongues will not be afraid of jealousy, and they will grasp the evidence before speaking. If there is no evidence, no matter how envious you are. Alright, let’s keep that thought well, hold back your energy and live your life well, that’s the real thing.”

Those who have passed on these words are just jealous. After Lizheng said this, there is no one who dares to stand up.

Lizheng was really stuck in his heart. Although he was said to be angry, he was not so angry. After so many years of managing things in the village, he was more or less used to it. If he wanted to manage things, there was nothing wrong with him As for the sinner, he was a little angry that Er Zhuang, such a good person, was also brought up, and thanks to Lan girl's thoughtful thinking, she insisted on paying the money to exchange the deed, otherwise it would be really hard to talk about it. At the beginning, I really wanted to let their family live temporarily.

"Sometimes I just can't figure it out. They all live in the same village, and neighbors don't want to help others solve their difficulties, but only think about messing up. What kind of mentality is this, and what benefits can it get? Don't think about it , When your family is in trouble, what will others do to you? I don’t want to say more, if you plant melons, you will reap melons, if you sow beans, you will reap beans. If a person sows kindness, he will reap more than just kindness That's all."

What happened today is evident. Without Lan Erzhuang's selfless and benevolent deed, the rumors would spread in unexpected ways, but once what happened today, Li Zheng believed that the rumors would definitely end, no matter what Well, he still understands the people in the village, although some are unkind and small-minded, but if you want to say how evil they are, that's not necessarily the case.

"One more thing. There is still about 450 mu of wasteland left in the village. The old man in the capital intends to buy it all. The yamen gave an explanation the year before last to sell the wasteland. No matter which village, if it can sell 500 mu of wasteland , then you can give a place to study in the school in the county. Now the court encourages wasteland reclamation, but it is really not easy to sell wasteland. Thanks to Er Zhuang this year, our village has already sold it It’s more than [-] mu. If we can make up the [-] mu, our village will have three places to go to the county school. If you have an idea to buy land, or someone wants to buy wasteland, you can help me. Everyone is welcome here, whoever helps to sell the wasteland, the top three, I will distribute the places to these three households, everyone cheers."

This is causing trouble again. If you can be recommended by the village to go to the county school, it is not only because Shu Xiu has half the number of students admitted by himself, but the county school is a place where you can't get in with money. There are excellent students who are admitted to the top of the list of scholars and Jinshi, which are the best schools in the nearby counties. No matter whose family's children enter, it is an unspeakable honor.

"Er Zhuang, congratulations, your little hoe will definitely be able to go to the county school."

Some people have already squeezed in front of Lan Erzhuang to make friends. Since their own children can't go, they don't have to envy them, but they have to show their face in front of Lan Erzhuang. After all, this person has great energy now. Let alone He will teach everyone how to dig a cellar next year. Just saying that he can make the elders in the capital obey his orders and keep taking money out of his pockets is not an easy task. This is a hidden person, such a person, if he doesn't show his favor now, when will he wait?
"It's that easy. It depends on whether he is a good person. After he goes to the county school, he also has to take the exam. If he doesn't study well, he will go home to farm."

At this time, Lan Erzhuang was both happy and anxious. Of course it would be great to be able to enter the county school, but the requirements of the county school are very strict. Those who take the exam, if they do not do well in the exam, they will be persuaded to leave. You said that this old Uncle Li told him on the way to the meeting that he needed to buy more land, but he wanted to recommend the county to go to school. Is half of the name missing, or I want to give myself a surprise?Lan Erzhuang was thinking blindly in his heart.

"Since we've finished talking about today's affairs, let's end the meeting. If you don't understand anything, just go to my house and find me."

Ri is waving his hand and the meeting is about to end.

"Uncle Li, you haven't said when to share the radishes. Didn't Er Zhuang say that each household will be given a radish?"

Some people are still thinking about the radish of Er Zhuang's family. If the son can't go to the county school, this radish must be eaten in his mouth, otherwise it will be a loss.
"That's right, that's right, when will we share the radishes?"

It’s not just one or two people who are in a hurry. Although it’s just a carrot, it’s better than nothing. It’s the Chinese New Year soon, so let’s make a fresh picture.

"I will write a list of every household in the village when I go back. If you want to pick up radishes now, you can register with me tomorrow. I will ask Er Zhuang to find a free day and send them to everyone. Just come and pick them up. If you want to get radishes at the root, then wait a few more days, let Er Zhuang years ago work hard, and give away radishes once. After all, we can’t preserve the radishes when we get them back, and they won’t be fresh when we eat them at night on New Year’s Eve. .”

Hearing Li Zheng's words, everyone started to murmur, whether to take the radish back now, or wait until the Chinese New Year, and some said, it's better to take it now, in case Lan Erzhuang regrets it, then he won't be able to eat it The radish, some people said, as long as you are narrow-minded, Er Zhuang is not that kind of person, he will do it if he promises, I will wait until the year to pick it up, at least I will add something to the table, everyone is in a row , scattered.

"Girl, how do you know that someone is jealous of our house, which has been vacant for many years."

Holding the house deed returned by old Uncle Li, Lan Erzhuang realized that it was given to Uncle Li by his daughter before coming to the meeting.

"That's how people are. It's okay if there is no one to use it, but if someone occupies the house and lives in it, it's a challenge to their bottom line. If you can't reap the benefits yourself, it's okay for everyone. When you can't catch it."

This is not uncommon in the case of business wars in the previous life. No one will care about a business district that no one pays attention to. Once someone develops it, it will be fine. Don't even try to catch it,

"My daughter is still smart. If it weren't for today's move, when the rumors spread in the village, she might not be able to hold back with the house deed."

Lan Erzhuang had the smartest expression on my daughter's face, and Lan Lingxue was satisfied. I don't care what others do. I am not a savior, so I can't control so many people. Anyway, I am favored by others, and I am used to it. As long as my family is happy That's it.

"Second Uncle Lan, the shopkeeper asked me to bring this over, saying it's what you want?"

The little brother who came to pull food from the restaurant carried three big iron troughs from the carriage, and Lan Lingxue rushed over excitedly.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's how it is, thank you little brother."

"What is this? What is it for, sister?"

After picking the vegetables, the little hoe who was about to go back to the backyard squeezed over to watch the fun,
"Let's load the car first, and I'll tell you later, little hoe, be good."

At this time, Lan Lingxue was in a good mood, shaking her head and humming a song, directing the big and small men in the family to load the car. The hoe is working hard, and the master is also watching his homework, so he has less contact with the little girl. It seems that he can't see her very much except for meal time. Seeing how happy she is now, An Zhiyuan's His mood also improved, the corners of his mouth raised up indistinctly, and the work in hand became more energetic.

"Tell me quickly, what is this for, sister, hurry up."

Seeing that the vegetable cart was running away, Little Hoe quickly grabbed his sister, as if she was going to run away,
"This one is used to freeze ice cubes. From today onwards, my sister will give you a task to fill these three sinks with water every day. At night, take the ice cubes to the ice cellar for storage. , can you finish it?"

Lan Lingxue assigned a task to Little Hoe, and of course Little Hoe accepted it happily. Now he has a strong curiosity about frozen ice cubes. For children, there is always something to say no to. out of attraction,
"It's just, sister, how can we have an ice cellar?"

The little hoe was about to fetch water now, when he suddenly remembered that he had a cellar at home, but how could there be an ice cellar?
"The one that holds the vegetables is called the vegetable cellar, and the one that is deeper than the vegetable cellar is called the ice cellar, because we need to use it to store ice, understand?"

Lan Lingxue pointed to the two cellars and explained to Little Hoe,

"Oh, I understand. Although there is no ice in the cellar now, when we put the ice in, there will be ice in it, so it is called an ice cellar, right?"

"Our little hoe is really smart, so start working hard for our icehouse now."
