The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 44
The villagers thought it was pitiful at first, but then they felt something was wrong.

Xiaodao was afraid that the old lady would really give Zhaodi to him as his wife, so he jumped anxiously, "Mother, if you marry her back, I will die!"

Before Aunt Liu could get mad, someone slapped Xiao Dao on the back of the head.

Old Master Feng supported his eldest son's hand, walked forward with a calm expression, looked at Zhaodi who was crying with snot and tears all over his face, and asked, "Girl, I'm asking you something, as long as you tell the truth, I will help you." You beg."

"Ah?" Zhaodi recognized Old Master Feng as the oldest old man in the village. If he interceded, her hope of living would naturally be greater, so she nodded quickly, "I say, I can say anything."

"You said that someone gave your father money and asked you to learn how to grow vegetables?"

"Yes, yes, there was a man wearing silk and satin clothes who came to my house at night and said that my aunt's family got rich and could grow vegetables in winter. Sell ​​the method to him, and he will give you 20 taels of silver!"

While talking, she began to cry again, "My mother said, if you can't do it, you can marry Brother Xiaodao, and learn slowly from now on. Woohoo, I don't want to be sold to a kiln, I want to eat meat every day..."

Everyone's faces changed when they heard it. Xiaomi said that the method of growing vegetables should be taught to everyone, and she even taught a lot when doing work on weekdays.

With such a method, the children and grandchildren of every household on Laoxiongling will be able to support their families and have children even if they don't go hunting in the mountains.

Today, the method of growing vegetables is no longer owned by the Lu family, but by the entire Old Xiongling.

They haven't learned it yet, and they haven't taken precautions, but outsiders have long coveted it.

Zhao Di'er is young, and has been to the vegetable garden a few times these days, but she doesn't see any way to do it, so she just thinks that she can live a good life by climbing a big tree like Feng Jian.I didn't expect that taking shortcuts would fail, and this revealed my original intention.If there is no such thing, will the villagers have to wait for outsiders to grow vegetables next winter before they know that their cornucopia has been stolen...

"Damn it!"

"Whoever dares to stab in the back, I will beat him to death!"

The men were immediately annoyed, and swung their fists wishing they could catch the coveted person and smash them into a pulp.

The women originally surrounded Aunt Liu and Zhaodi, and wanted to help intercede, but now they also dispersed.

Everyone gets along well on weekdays, but now the Liu family's niece is involved in stealing the cornucopia of the whole village, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Old Master Feng stroked his beard and thought for a while, then turned to Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, I'm afraid we need to discuss this matter together."

Xiaomi could hear what the old man meant, so he turned his mind and went to Feng Jian and said in a low voice, "Brother Feng, Aunt Liu's family has helped me a lot on weekdays. Although Zhao Di did not act properly, she has already broken an arm. Even if the punishment has passed. This matter... just forget it!"

Feng Jian didn't respond, but with an inexplicable expression in his eyes, he asked in a low voice for a long time, "Do you believe what this lowly servant girl says, or do you believe me?"

Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "Of course I believe you!"

A few simple words, like a small spark ignited Feng Jian's entire eye world.Xiaomi's complete belief without the slightest hesitation immediately dispelled all the haze in his heart...

"it is good."

Feng Jian waved his hand, and Lao Yang glanced at Xiaomi with a smile, and directly tore up the contract of sale in his hand.

Without the deed of sale, Zhao Di would no longer be a servant of the Feng family, and naturally Feng Jian would not have the right to kill at will.

Zhaodi consciously escaped her life, and sat down on the ground, unable to get up.

Xiaomi was pitiful and hated her, but it was hard to say anything at the moment, so she persuaded Feng Jian in a low voice, "Brother Feng, you can go in and read a book for a while. I will call you when we have dinner. Today, we will bake minced beef." Cake, cook potato shredded soup, keep your favorite food.”

"it is good."

Feng Jian took a deep look at her and brought Lao Yang into the house.

Everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. Although Feng Jian never did anything, his method of ruling people between life and death in the blink of an eye is indeed too dreadful.

"Let's go, let's discuss this matter carefully today."

As soon as Old Master Feng waved his hand, everyone followed him out of the Lu's courtyard.The strong women listened to the men's orders, and ignored Zhao Di'er's cries of pain in her arms, and carried her away.

Aunt Liu hurriedly thanked Xiaomi, and then chased after her.

Uncle Liu sighed and drove his son and daughter-in-law home. Don't rush to show up for such a shameful thing.

It's a pity, but he can't hide, even if he is reluctant, Zhao Di'er is a relative of the Liu family, so he has to apologize to everyone.

The crowd came quickly and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, the courtyard of the Lu family was empty.

Father Lu thought for a while, and told his eldest son, "Don't join us."

"Yes, dad." Boss Lu laughed honestly, and took the broom to clean the stable.The horse manure that was useless in the past is now a good thing, and it has to be dried and stored. Next year, the vegetable shed will be used as the subsoil to keep it cool.

Lu Xiaomi also returned to the stove to continue baking pies, and when he wanted to call Gao Ren to light the fire, he couldn't find the boy anywhere, but Feng Jian threw a book and came out to help.

Xiaomi felt that it was wrong for him not to stand by Feng Jian's side immediately and give him support and trust.Feng Jian felt that what happened just now was too embarrassing, so she didn't want to say more.

The two had aspirations and made selective amnesia together, and talked about field crop rotation and rice seedling raising again.

In fact, Xiaomi didn’t know much. In her previous life, the orphanage she lived in was on the edge of a town, and outside the hospital was the rice field planted by the residents. She learned a little bit by ear.Many key points are half-knowledgeable, but to Feng Jian, these are still too surprising and fresh.

The two talked and baked pies, and when the room was full of aroma, Gao Ren ran back.

Seeing the beads of sweat on his head, Xiaomi pulled off the handkerchief to wipe him off, and said angrily, "Where did you go again? I can't find anyone looking for you to set the fire."

Gao Ren grinned and grabbed a pie, and ate it while inhaling hot, enjoying the appearance of being so pampered.

Feng Jian was furious while watching, the wooden stick in his hand snapped and fell into the stove and burned to ashes.

However, Gao Ren was still angry, shaking his head and ordering Xiaomi to continue wiping.

Seeing Feng Jian's expression turned pale, Xiaomi thought he didn't like Gao Ren playing around, so he pushed Gao Ren out, "Go and set up a table, and we'll eat in a while."

Finally, after Gao Ren went out, she persuaded Feng Jian, "Gao Ren is just a child, so don't be too strict."

"Stay away from this child... from now on!"

Feng Jian's breath was choked in his throat, and the corners of his eyes were trembling.

child…

Who is the child?

Xiaomi was helpless, thinking that no one would quarrel with Gao Ren after the second elder brother left, but unexpectedly Feng Jian joined the "jealous" team.

Jealous?

Xiaomi blushed suddenly, hurriedly gave a vague greeting, and ran out with the pie...

Food has always been the best medicine for healing. There is nothing that a beef pie and a bowl of hot soup can't solve.If you have, then eat two!
The young and old in the Lu family ate with greasiness in their mouths, praising the pie for its deliciousness and the refreshing potato soup for a while.Xiaomi put pies for this one and soup for that one, smiling from ear to ear.

After eating and drinking, Gao Ren remembered that he had just gone to eavesdrop, so he said, "Those people said that they were afraid that outsiders would learn how to grow vegetables secretly, and they wanted to build a shack at the mountain pass. They took turns to guard, and there were no outsiders they didn't know. Come in. Because of that ugly niece, the Liu family has to guard for a month longer than other families."

Father Lu and Boss Lu were both soft-hearted, and couldn't help sighing, "The Liu family is a good one, but they were troubled by outsiders."

Xiaomi is happy. Since Old Xiong Ridge is called Ridge, the terrain is naturally a bit high.People lived on the mountain, and the Lu family's [-] mu of dry land was at the bottom of the mountain. Because the soil quality on the mountain slope was not very good, and it couldn't hold much water, the villagers opened up some land indiscriminately, and planted some buckwheat and the like.Now all the seedlings are planted, and there are people walking in the field every day, for fear of being ruined by wild animals.

If it is true what Gao Ren said, the villagers built a thatched hut on duty at the mountain pass at the foot of the mountain, then no outsider would really want to come in.

At that time, whether she is trying to grow new grains, or simply changing the dry fields into paddy fields, raising seedlings and planting rice, she is not afraid of people coming to see them and causing unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, she persuaded, "Father, our land is all at the foot of the mountain. The people in the village guard the mountain pass like this, which is almost guarding the territory for our family. Why don't we give money and food to build a building in the valley mouth?" Let’s have two adobe houses, not to mention that the people on duty will suffer less, and in the future, if there are guests in the family, there will be a place to live.”

Father Lu never cared about his family's finances, thinking that it would not cost much money, he naturally replied, "Okay, I'll talk about it later."

"Then I'll go and make some pies for Old Master Feng, and Uncle Bi also asked Gao Ren to send two over there, so as to save him from getting angry again."

Xiaomi quickly made arrangements, and Father Lu went out with the plate.

The people in the Feng family's courtyard hadn't left yet, and when they suddenly saw Father Lu coming to the door, they got up nervously, wondering if the Lu family would go back on their promise to teach the villagers how to grow vegetables.

Unexpectedly, Father Lu didn't even mention it, he just said that it is good for everyone to contribute to guarding the village, and the Lu family will contribute money, rice and grain to build the house.

The villagers were ashamed when they heard this, and they all thanked the Lu family for their benevolence.Old Master Feng was eating pies with tea, and his eyes were narrowed when he smiled.

As the old saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and a good tiger cannot hold back a pack of wolves.As long as the villagers have a conscience, remember the goodness of the Lu family, and unite to the outside world, Old Xiongling will flourish sooner or later, and the future generations will not have to worry about it!

"The matter is settled like this," Old Master Feng wiped his mouth slowly, and gave the unfinished pie to his grandson, making a decision for today's matter, "From now on, on the old Xiongling, one counts as one. No matter what novelty Xiaomi was thinking about, or what the villagers planted after him, don’t let out a word. If there is a disobedient one in any family, the whole family will be kicked down the mountain and never come back!”

"Yes, old Master Feng, don't worry."

"Yes, no one is heartless."

"They are all optimistic about the daughter-in-law at home. As long as they don't go back to their mother's house and talk nonsense, it will be fine."

"And don't let the shopkeepers in the city enter the village. These people go from village to village, and they are the most talkative."
