Chapter 290 Six Our Starting Points Are Different

After looking at the whole mountain, when Xuejian returned to the yard, everyone slowly got up.Old Mr. Shen even put on a padded jacket and walked out of the courtyard. Last night, seeing the darkness, he thought it was going to rain or snow, but now it seems that there is nothing, but there is fog in the distance, and everyone said The winter fog is clear, it seems that today will be a sunny day.

When Xue Jian came to Old Shen Tou'er's side, based on what Old Shen Tou'er said yesterday, Xue Jian changed her opinion of this grandpa in her heart.Xuejian helped her grandpa out of the courtyard to the edge of the field, raised her finger to a place that was invisible in the mist and said:
"Master, I can't see clearly now. My land is still there. Anyway, all I can see when I stand here is my land. Come on, I'll help you to take a look. I heard those things yesterday. Uncle said that the mud I bought from this place is very good, but I don’t understand this, so you can help me to see it?”

Old Mr. Shen was very happy.This is the granddaughter asking for advice.Old Mr. Shen walked forward with big strides, and Xue Jian followed behind, supporting him. When he came to the edge of the field, Mr. Shen really stretched out his hand to squeeze the mud, nodded repeatedly and said:

"Well, it's so muddy. This is land that can grow good crops. You really bought good land."

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"I don't recognize it either. This is Uncle Jiang, the richest man in the town, Uncle Jiang Jingming, who helped me choose it. He gave me the money to buy the land in the first place. I just went to pay the money back the day before yesterday. Gave it to him. This land is all mine now."

Old Mr. Shen didn't speak now, he just sighed in his heart, alas, I can't bear it.Such a good place, why didn't I have it when I was young?If it was there at that time, I would definitely be able to do a lot.

Xue Jian didn't know what Old Shen was thinking right now, she just walked silently with Old Shen.After a while, I heard Xiaocao shouting from behind:

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Xue'er, it's time to eat."

Xuejian helped old Mr. Shen back to the house, and everyone got up.Packed up and ready for breakfast.In the morning the cook made porridge and steamed buns.Some people ate too much last night, and they can't eat so much in the morning.After eating breakfast a few times, those people asked Shen Erzhu to take them out to see how big the land was.

In fact, Shen Erzhu hadn't been here before.I had no choice but to look at Xue Jian, who smiled and said:

"Uncles, you guys, standing at the gate of our yard and looking forward, all you can see is basically my land. Why don't you go out and have a look, I turned to the back of the mountain to look at it this morning , there is a big river behind it. I am afraid there are fat fish in this river."

A few people who are good at fishing came to see if they could catch fish together, but there was no fishing here, so they had to go to the river to see.Anyway, we had to wait for the Liang family to come before leaving together, so everyone went out in groups of three or five to have a look.

After they left, Xuejian, grandpa and second uncle sat down.Old Shen said:
"It really is a good place. Xue'er, what are your plans?"

Xue Jian smiled and said:
"I don't have much plans. I'll just plant rice this year. It's always good to prepare more food. However, I want to save some land and plant the sticky rice or other rice that Grandpa Seven mentioned. I have given it to Senior Brother." I went to the letter to see if he can help me get some special seeds. I will try to plant everything, but I will try to plant them first. I have to hand over these to you and brother-in-law Lu to help me Look at it. Once these trial-planted things are planted, their uses will be different. Then they will be sold for different money."

Old Shen didn't know what Xuejian was going to plant, but he nodded anyway.

"For those tenants, I will call them up tomorrow to talk about this year's distribution plan. Just like what I said at home, the more they harvest, the more they get. This year I only harvest one bushel per mu. More I will give them everything they want, next year they will listen to me, and they will plant whatever I ask. Next year I will distribute grain to them according to their head. Everything I harvest will be mine. I will sell it at my price, or What's the matter, at the end of the last year, I will give them another red envelope for Chinese New Year."

Old Mr. Shen took a puff of cigarette and said:

"I have never seen such a generous master like you, who only collects one bucket of land per acre. Do you know that your land should be good, and as long as one mu of land is well managed, you can receive three to four buckets of grain? .Your house is not as many as tenants.”

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"So, Lord, if you don't give others some benefits, how can others listen to you? I have spent this year looking at the people here. If these people can't get along and cooperate for a long time, then I won't be with them anymore. gone."

Sure enough, at noon, there were fish to eat.Because those few people finally thought of a way to catch some fish and come back.The fish in the river were really fat.

In the afternoon, near Shen time, the Liang family arrived.Liang Zhongqiu was still driving the carriage, but this time there was one more person in the carriage, Hu Yue'e's father.

Hu Yue'e's father was a standard scholar with a thin, tall figure, a wisp of beard, and a handsome face. He looked very similar to Hu Yue'e.

Xuejian and Xiaocao greeted the door, and saluted seriously when they saw it.No matter what, this man is my uncle's father-in-law and my uncle's husband.The wisdom in those eyes shows that this person is a person who has read a lot of poetry and books.Thinking about a gentleman who can teach someone like my uncle, it's not bad.

Xiaocao took a step forward to support Hu Yuee, Hu Yuee's eye sockets looked a bit swollen, Xue Jian thought it might be because she cried last night.I guess my uncle is leaving.May be reluctant.

This afternoon, Xuejian cleaned up the main house in the backyard, and it was going to live in for my aunt and grandma.After entering the house, everyone greeted each other.Also made some arrangements for tomorrow's departure.Liang Shengyue specially pulled Xuejian to his father-in-law and said:
"Father-in-law, this is the baby girl I'm telling you about. This is the eldest daughter of my second sister. I am very relieved to put Yue'e here. Even Yue'e wants to raise her body here."

Mr. Hu looked at Xuejian, smiled gently and said:
"It's a promising girl. Smart and beautiful. Son, when your uncle told me about you, I didn't believe it at first. Later, my daughter also said the same thing when she came back. I didn't believe it. There is really a photographic memory in this world." It’s a pity that you are not a boy. Otherwise, there is no place for us to study.”

Xue Jian was embarrassed, and said embarrassingly:

"Grandpa Hu is really ashamed to say that about Xuejian. I can't forget it. I just worked harder than others, because our family's situation was different at that time. I was anxious to make our family better, and to make Dad Mother, take it easy. You ask my uncle, my conditions are better now. I don’t study so hard now. Besides, my reading is different from your reading. You focus on the major events of Xingguo Anbang. I think The most important thing is how to make my family not poor. I am a woman and I can’t catch up with the exam, so our starting point is different. The same book, we can read ideas that we can’t read.”
