Chapter 28, Zhuangzi

The carriage of the Yan family went straight to the outside of the county seat, without staying too much in the city.

The county seat is not big, and it is not very rich. During this time, under the leadership of Yan Wenkai, Daohua has already visited the county seat. Therefore, it is quite a rule along the way.

But as soon as she walked out of the city gate, Daohua couldn't wait to raise the curtain of the car, looking at the scenery outside happily.

It is now the end of October, and the weather is already very cold. As soon as the curtain is opened, the cold wind blows into the carriage.

Ms. Li worried that Mrs. Yan and Daohua had a cold wind, and immediately said: "Daohua, put down the car curtain and carefully catch the cold."

Daohua has some meaning, but she put down the car curtain obediently, and got sick in ancient times. It’s not like it is now, just take a few cold medicines.

But sitting in the carriage and not looking at the scenery outside is very boring, and Daohua can only find words to pass the time.

"Mother, will it snow in Linyi County?"

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "Here, as soon as November enters in previous years, there will be light snow, and in December, there will be heavy snow."

Hearing this, Daohua became happy again: "Great, I haven't seen Daxue yet. If the snow is big, you can have a snowball fight with your third and fourth brothers."

Yanjia Village is south of Yanjia Village. It snows in winter, and it melts as soon as it hits the ground. It's been so long since ancient times, and she hasn't pushed a snowman yet.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I hope there will be no heavy snow this year."

Daohua was taken aback, and found that both Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan's expressions were a little dignified.

The old lady Yan sighed: "If there is heavy snow, the people's life will be even more sad, the cold winter is hard, and those homeless refugees do not know how much they are going to die?"

Now, Daohua is silent. She just wanted to play, forgetting that this place is ancient or not modern, and people's heating methods are still very simple and backward. In winter, when there is a heavy snowstorm, many people will freeze to death.

"Mother, did my father say how the refugee resettlement is?"

Mrs. Li shook her head: "Refugee resettlement is not an easy task, and now it’s winter, resettlement is even more difficult."

Seeing Dahua frowned, Mrs. Yan smiled and said, “Well, these things are not your child’s turn to worry about. Your father will take care of them.”

Daohua nodded and didn't ask more, but the excitement of coming out to let the wind was gone, especially when she saw the thinly-clothed refugees outside the carriage walking towards the county town on foot.

"With so many refugees flocking to the county seat, can my father be able to settle it?"

Mrs. Li: "Linyi County is pretty good. The location is relatively remote. Many refugees can't come here."

Looking at the refugees shivering in the cold wind, Daohua sighed: "It's not easy to live."

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Yan gave Daohua’s forehead: “How old are you, just sigh. The sky is falling and there is an adult supporting it. What should you do as a little baby?”

Daohua squeezed to the old lady Yan, took her arm, and stopped talking.

Think about it now, her reincarnation is really good in this life, at least, the father in the family is an official, and she still has a bit of social status.

If she is reborn and becomes the bottom of the people, even if she has space, her life will not be much more comfortable.

She knows that in this ancient time, if you didn't have enough status, you just made money, but you might not be able to keep it.

The carriage swayed for more than half an hour, and finally reached the field purchased by Mrs. Li.

"This is a Zhuangzi?"

Getting out of the carriage, the old lady Yan asked immediately when she saw the second yard in front of her.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Mother really has good eyesight. This is indeed a Zhuangzi."

Yan old lady: "How big is the ground?"

Mrs. Li: "It looks like five hundred acres."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan patted Mrs. Li's hand: "You used your dowry again?"

How much salary does Da'er have? She knows very well that it is difficult to feed a family. Where can I use spare money to buy the Zhuangzi?

Needless to say, this Zhuangzi must have been bought by Li's dowry again.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "The silver is also placed, so it is better to take it out to buy some family property. My daughter-in-law is also selfish in doing this. Seeing Wenxiu and Wenkai are getting bigger and bigger, in the future, if you talk about relatives, the bride price is big. Daohua is as big as one year, so the dowry should be prepared."

At this moment, Yan Zhiqiang came over with Yan Wentao.

Mrs. Li smiled and said to the two fathers and sons: "I have long heard that my third brother is doing good farm work. Every year our family harvests a lot more food than others. I want to point to my third brother to help take care of this village, so that the family can have more income."

Yan Zhiqiang was stunned: "Sister-in-law, you mean this Zhuangzi will take care of me?"

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "Please take care of your third brother."

Yan Zhiqiang hesitated. He is really good at farming. He is also taking care of the two hundred acres of land in his hometown. But the problem is that he is the only one in his hometown and he has to take care of him, but he is not the only one here.

Mrs. Li: "Why, do you have any problems with the third brother? Just tell them if you have any problems, and we will solve them together."

Yan Zhiqiang looked at Mrs. Yan and saw that she looked like she was not doing anything. He had to say: "Sister-in-law, I am in charge of Zhuangzi, what does the second brother do?" The second brother knows that he is the most competitive. If he knew that he had taken his job as soon as he came, there would be conflicts in the future.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled: "You were worried about this, don't worry, the second brother can't control Zhuangzi." Seeing that the old lady Yan and Yan Zhiqiang were surprised, they said again.

"The second uncle has never been to the ground since he followed the master. As for farming, he has long been unfamiliar with it."

The old lady Yan raised her eyebrows: "The second child has been with you all these years, so what does he do?"

Ms. Li’s smile remained unchanged: "Going out to meet friends, inquiring about news or something."

The old lady Yan didn't ask much, but her face was not very good.

The eldest daughter-in-law said it tactfully, but she knew Er’er’s virtues, which means that she had not done anything serious about following the boss over the years.

The adults are talking about things, while Yan Wentao walks around Zhuangzi with Daohua.

Looking at the skeletal appearance of the tenant tenants on Zhuangzi, Daohua, who was still excited, suddenly lost her interest.

Seeing her like this, Yan Wentao smiled and said, “It’s okay, aren’t we here? With the grains you cultivated, next year, they will be able to eat and wear warmth.”

Daohua: "But there are still many people who can’t get enough to eat or wear warmth."

Yan Wentao was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the days when they pretended to be refugees. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay. Uncle is the county magistrate. After the grain in the village is harvested, let him promote our grain crops throughout the county. It's not good."

Hearing the words, Daohua’s eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of this? Third brother, you are too smart."

Yan Wentao was so boasted that he straightened his chest.

Ina Flower: "But my father's official position is still too low. It would be nice if it were higher."

Yan Wentao didn’t even think about it: “Then let the uncle work hard to get promoted.”

Daohua glanced at him and said to her heart that her father had not been promoted even after nine years of being a county magistrate. It can be seen how difficult it is to be promoted, but he smiled and nodded.
