Two identical faces stretched out from outside the door, which made her smile and her mood improved a little.
Lan Luochen had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for her. Her face turned a little red. Was she too lazy? It felt a bit sinful to ask an eleven-year-old child to get up and make breakfast.
"Sister, let's eat."
The little boy in front of me no longer has the fierce look he had when I first met him two days ago. He looks well-behaved and cute, but he could be a little fatter.
"You guys should just stay at home and clean up today. There's food at home. I have to go out and do some work."
"Are you going to look for Uncle Zhao? My sister and I will go together."
Lan Luochen carefully sipped the porridge in the bowl and looked up at her.
"Okay."
Lan Wangshu agreed with a smile. It was a good idea this way, as it would save her from having to mistakenly recognize people.
After eating and drinking, it was time to get down to business. The two walked together in the ridges of the fields, heading towards the Zhao family's fields. Lan Wangshu was not used to the road that was only one foot wide, and she walked crookedly. Lan Luochen, who was leading the way in front, frowned and couldn't help but hold her hand.
"Sister, hold me up. Don't fall. If you crush Miao, Uncle Zhao will scold you."
"Know it."
The brother and sister quickly found the target person and sat under a tree waiting.
Soon a shirtless figure walked over from the field, and Lan Luochen hurriedly stood in front of Lan Wangshu to block him. Although Da Zhao had strict separation between men and women, this was not appropriate.
Zhao Boping greeted Lan Luochen and found that there was a girl there. Her soy sauce-colored face was a little red. She picked up the coat beside her and put it on in a hurry.
He wiped the sweat off his face with a piece of cloth and sat down under the tree awkwardly. Lan Luochen also sat down, revealing Lan Wangshu behind him.
"Uncle Zhao, have you seen this?"
She handed over the cloth wrapped around the wheat seedlings. Zhao Boping looked at it carefully for a while and shook his head.
"never seen it."
"This is called wheat, a kind of grain that came from the other side of the sea. I found it when I was sorting out my parents' belongings. I cultivated seedlings a while ago. The county magistrate attaches great importance to it, so I came to ask Uncle Zhao for help today."
Zhao Boping was very interested in this new crop and followed her lead.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"This seed is very precious. I am not good at farming and I am afraid that I will mess up the job of the county magistrate. Professional matters should be handed over to professionals. Uncle Zhao, who I introduced to the county magistrate, if successful, you will be the first person to grow wheat."
Zhao Boping really loves planting things, and this first person really touched him a little. Who wouldn't want to give him some face? It would also be nice for his own girl to propose marriage in the future.
"I can plant it, but there's no room in my field. It's all crops now."
“This is winter wheat, and it’s just right to plant it in September or October.”
"What? There are crops that can be grown at that time. Let me try it."
Lan Wangshu looked around and pointed at the cornfield.
"Uncle Zhao, it's just right to plant winter wheat after planting corn. Winter wheat takes three parts to plant and seven parts to take care of."
The little girl spoke very convincingly and Zhao Boping nodded repeatedly. She decided to bring the mixed seeds after the autumn harvest. Before leaving, Zhao Boping praised her for her talent in farming and wanted to teach her how to farm personally.
Lan Wangshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of talent was this? He just learned a little more while studying geography. It was just theory.
"Why did my sister say that she introduced Uncle Zhao to the adults?"
Lan Luochen's little face wrinkled. He remembered that his sister never mentioned Uncle Zhao at all.
"What's the difference? The county magistrate wants the result. It doesn't matter who planted it. This is a white lie. The magistrate has political achievements, Uncle Zhao has a reputation, and I can legitimately fill the pit I set for the magistrate before. It's a win-win for all three parties, and I haven't hurt anyone. No one will care about the facts."
Lan Luochen was still very conflicted. This was inconsistent with his understanding. His sister lied, but all three parties actually got the benefits they wanted.
"In this world, what is more complicated than knowledge is the human heart."
Lan Wangshu glanced at the boy beside him and sighed softly, "Lan Luochen is about to enter the county school, and it's time for him to understand this truth."
In fact, she herself was also very nervous. In this age where everyone matures precociously, could she really defeat the indigenous people? Novels and TV dramas are all works of art. When she was old enough to study in modern times, people of this era had already started to become strategists. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous at all.
However, the most important thing right now is to have enough food and clothing. It is too early to worry about this. Lan Wangshu comforted himself, relaxed, and went to the village chief's house.
"Grandpa Village Chief, are you home?"
The village chief's wife came out of the house and opened the door.
"You are here. The village chief is in the house. Go quickly."
Lan Wangshu knocked on the door gently and only took Lan Luochen in after getting permission.
I told the village chief about asking Zhao Boping to cultivate wheat, and received a puzzled look from him.
"Shu girl, this credit should obviously be yours, why are you giving it up?"
"It doesn't matter who gets the credit, as long as it belongs to our Cangnan Village. Besides, I don't really have the corresponding ability in my situation."
Lan Wangshu looked at her thin arms and legs helplessly. If she really couldn't do it, it would cost her half her life.
"You can't let him take advantage of you for nothing."
"It can't be considered as taking advantage. It will be enough for me to make myself familiar to the county magistrate. And the news can't leak out before the planting is successful. I'm afraid that if grandma knows that I took out the seeds, this matter will go wrong."
The village chief seemed to have thought of something and agreed with her approach.
"You are really thoughtful. Don't worry, with Grandpa here, they won't be able to cause any trouble. If they delay the development of the village, I will never forgive them."
Lan Wangshu smiled. Although the village chief was a scholar, he was not soft-tempered at all and was even decisive. She immediately thought about building the house at the same time.
"Grandpa, the village chief, this time we are going to the town and pawning the things my mother left me. We want to build a house while the weather is good."
"You kid, you come to live with your grandfather when the weather gets cold. How could you pawn your mother's belongings?"
"Money is a dead thing. Right now, I still need to take good care of my brothers to be worthy of my parents."
The village chief sat on the bench and sighed. He didn't expect that she was so insightful at such a young age. Children who were not loved by anyone would become successful early. It was all the fault of the Lan family. He cursed them in his heart.
"The original piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain was unwanted. You can continue to build there, so you don't have to buy additional land. When the time comes, you can ask your grandmother's nephew to come over, and the price will be cheaper."
