This morning, Mrs. Xu was very busy.

She was so busy that she didn't realize that her granddaughter was gone.

First, in the morning, Xinli Zheng of Wangjiagou arrived.

This person in Xinli started with Wang Laoba, and first reported to Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu on his own initiative, saying that Wang Laoba had been very honest recently and stayed at home after being beaten, maybe because he was afraid.

Because a few days ago, Wang Lizheng died outside. The cause of death was said to be accidental falling into the water and drowning, but who can guarantee that he was not assassinated?

Wang Laoba's two brothers went out and never came back. So far, there is no accurate information to tell whether they are dead or alive.

After all, traveling is not easy. If you take a long distance, it is normal to travel back and forth for several months. Even if you report to the Yamen, the Yamen will just tell you to wait. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that no one has found the bodies of these two people.

That's why Wang Laobao will be scared if he thinks too much. If he is beaten, he will only drink at home and dare not go out to cause trouble. For the first time in so many years, he is so honest.

After reporting on Wang Laoba's situation, Xinli Zheng asked Mrs. Xu a little embarrassedly if he could collect the frozen fish from their village. This was the purpose of his visit.

"Don't worry, I won't accept anyone who is close to the previous Li Zheng family. I won't accept anyone who likes to cause trouble in the village and has bad conduct."

Wangjiagou's new boss was hesitating for a moment, and then continued to say that the people he wanted to sell to Xu Jiayu were the villagers who had made it easier for Erdaohe to cross the river during the flood.

For example, those who warmed the house by the fire and gave him hot water, as well as those who did not falsely accuse Erdaohe of stealing and even testified that they helped pick up poultry.

Wangjiagou’s new appointment didn’t want to mention it, but there are actually good people in their village.

Human nature is complex.

In the past, I followed Ren Lizheng and did evil things, and I had no choice but to live in a gregarious manner in the village. If I didn't follow Ren Lizheng, I would fight wherever he asked, and I would be squeezed out.

Some also found that being a bad person is indeed convenient and life will be easier. After the villagers of Wangjiagou tasted the benefits, they became more united.

Xin Renli didn't want to explain this, but before he came, the villagers insisted on letting him talk about it, saying that this was called easing their feelings.

This was to prevent their village from having to go out to sell fish on a snowy day and not being able to sell a few fish in a day. The most important thing is that for some types of fish, the Xu family’s price was higher than what they could get for retail sales.

After Xin Lizheng finished speaking, he secretly observed Mrs. Xu.

I thought: It's over, I have to mention it. Maybe if I don't ease my feelings, it will get worse.

The woman in front of me, the head of the Xu family, is even harder to talk to than Liu Laozhu.

Do you think she is someone she would fall in love with?

When he looked at it, he looked like someone who could turn his small intestines. He had to mention it, so as not to remind people of the past hatred.

But when Wangjiagou's new boss was leaving, he immediately had a great change in his opinion of Mrs. Xu.

Because Mrs. Xu agreed and would accept the frozen fish from some villagers in Wangjiagou.

Mrs. Xu considered that now that the river is closed, there will be no live fish, and the river surface has not yet completely frozen, and people walking on it can easily fall into the ice holes. It will not be until around mid-December that the river can be opened.

Ice fishing.

In other words, during this period, stocks of frozen fish must be used.

And her family owns a restaurant and makes fish floss, fish balls, fish noodles, etc., which requires a lot of frozen fish, and anyone can accept it. Wangjiagou is close enough to deliver it to your door.

In addition, the ice on the entire river has broken, so we have to wait until April to get off the boat for fishing.

After April, there is a 55-day closed fishing period in June and July. This regulation is not new to modern times, but has been stipulated since ancient times. Fishing is not allowed in June and July for the purpose of sustainable development of young fish reproduction.

At that time, their village will also spend money to actively scatter fish fry. Of course, this is all a matter of course.

That is to say, within a year, there will always be a shortage of live fish. With her family’s shipment volume, her village may not be able to supply it alone. If she can cooperate with Wangjiagou for a long time, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages. By the way,

Helped Zhao Dashan solve the problem. It would prevent the two village chiefs from fighting and the town pavilion would be difficult to hold.

However, after discussing with Liu Laozhu, Mrs. Xu made two demands for Wangjiagou Village.

First, when digging ice holes for winter fishing in mid-to-late December, Wangjiagou can no longer focus on which area to drill which as in previous years. This includes Erdaohe. The two villages have to separate their land boundaries, and Wangjiagou’s land boundary is further apart.

.

"I know." Li Zheng, the new leader of Wangjiagou, agreed immediately and repeatedly promised that he would never go there unless it returned to their territory.

As for Erdaohe, when it comes to spring planting, there is a ditch between the fields of the two villages. In previous years, Erdaohe has been cleaning up this stinking ditch, and it has taken almost half a lifetime to clean it up.

Starting next year, Wangjiagou will take over.

"That's no problem, the villagers have to do some work." It's their village's turn, Wangjiagouli was thinking.

If you show weakness, you should show weakness. When the weather gets warmer tomorrow and the relationship with Erdao River eases, the villagers in their village will be able to sell boiled corn and salted duck eggs to the caravans at the crossing.

Their village can't compare with Erdaohe, so they can't build houses or shops.

Erdao River runs across the entire village and is adjacent to the road.

There was a mountain between the obstacle and the roadside, and I knew the market news in advance, so I bought the wasteland in front of the mountain close to the road.

As for Wangjiagou, they come down from the road and extend inwards. They have to walk a long way to enter the village, and after entering the village, it is also vertical and deep. They want to tell the town pavilion that they also hope to build houses and shops on the wasteland by the roadside, but

The wasteland on the roadside does not belong to their village at all. It belongs to the public, which is different from the situation in Erdao River.

For example, some enterprising villagers in their village went to the town to inquire, and the town replied that only one place in this area is allowed to receive trade caravans, and the business is allowed to collect taxes.

In short, if their village wants to do some small business on the roadside in the future, it must not offend Erdaohe.

When Wangjiagou's new boss was leaving, Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu laughed and said, "I think this guy is pretty good. He doesn't talk about useless things. I won't ask for anything if I can do it. Thank you for not choosing you."

Someone else."

Liu Laozhu said: "That's because you don't know that the other person named Wang Youcai is good at deceiving us. He doesn't speak so flatteringly to us. If Wang Youcai comes today, he will not be able to deceive us. He talks sweetly."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mrs. Xu teased Liu Laozhu: "You only care about useless people, and I don't like people who are peeing. What we should think about is letting

When our village develops well in the future, and everyone in our own village will do good work, then we can expand the labor force to other villages. Wangjiagou is also an option as it is close. We should make Wangjiagou an affiliated village of Erdaohe as soon as possible.

, this is the business."

"Either I can't compare to you, or you dare to think, and you're not as superficial as me. I just thought that when Wangjiagou sees us later, we should get out of the way, and just say that the boss is coming, and let us go first.

"

While the two were talking about the village plan, a table full of people, who were about to start working as a helper in the Xu family, brought her two sons and a daughter-in-law, pushing two carts full of belongings into the courtyard.

One cart contained food rations for several members of my family.

Although Mrs. Xu had promised to provide food a long time ago, the whole table was thinking that if she was given such a high salary and provided food, she was just doing it to take care of her, so she couldn't be so shameless as to not bring even a grain of food.

Come on. If there is no food, there will be no vegetables.

Another cart was filled with bedding and clothes made for the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly served the table again, and Liu Laozhu also went to work at this time.

The table was full and the eldest daughter-in-law and youngest son were first introduced. They bowed to Mrs. Xu and said kind words.

The table full of daughter-in-laws hesitated for a long time, unable to explain a single sentence clearly, and could only blush and smile ingratiatingly at Mrs. Xu.

The whole table came to the rescue and said, "My daughter-in-law's name is Xiaoyun. Well, she is a young girl with a tender face. She is not like me who chatters all day long. Sister, don't be picky."

Old Mrs. Xu took a closer look and said: "What's there to argue about? People are all about practicing. My daughter-in-law is almost done practicing now, and she will get better slowly. And the name is so nice, not like the flowers in the village.

When people smile, they are like the clouds. When they encounter the sunshine, the clouds will disperse and the mist will disappear, making people’s hearts brighten with laughter.”

Mrs. Xu specifically asked Xiaoyun about her children and why they hadn't been brought to them.

The daughter-in-law who filled the table relaxed a little after hearing the compliments. She blushed and told Mrs. Xu that her parents had gone home to take care of the children and also burned the house.

The whole table took over and said: "The house at home cannot be left empty, so I asked my in-laws and my wife to go to my place, where we will have food and accommodation."

Mrs. Xu immediately understood. This way, the in-laws would eat and live in the full house, which was also a disguised way of saving food rations for themselves. If they directly gave food to the in-laws, they would not accept it as in-laws, and they would just ask them to move in to help burn the house and take care of the children.

Some, like Dali, were sent out for a walk, so they had the nerve to accept a few cents for running errands.

"Here, call Auntie." Finally introduced the silly old man to the table full of people.

"Auntie."

"She's an aunt, older than my mother, so my mother calls me sister."

"Auntie."

The whole table pointed at her eldest son and smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Sister, take a look, what's wrong with this? Call him stupid. It's not that stupid. He can still see that you are taller than me."

If you are tender and strong, you should call me aunt."

Mrs. Xu was also happy. She stopped her and asked others to correct her. She could call him whatever she wanted. But she felt a little pity. The tall and muscular young man was about the same height as her third child. He could be 1.83 or 85. In the past,

But the mainstay of the whole table family turned out to be like this.

Mrs. Xu motioned to the stupid boy at the desk to sit down, "I'll introduce my third and fourth brothers to these two brothers. One of them will follow my third brother, and the other will follow my fourth brother."

And said:

"I have already told our Tunguan doctor about the situation of the young man.

Well, to be honest, I think his medical skills are not very good.

But my Tian Xin said that she was good at grandpa Guan, at least good at medical ethics.

Regardless of whether you have cured someone to death, the doctor who deceived you cannot cure you. If he doesn't give you good medicine and treatment, you will lose your reputation.

Tian Xin said that her grandpa Guan was someone who dared to prescribe medicine in our village. He could cure the disease in two days and would never delay it for three days just to make money. She often helped everyone think of cheap prescriptions without having to buy expensive medicines.
