The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon
Chapter 21: Shangshan Village
The cool autumn breeze blew slowly, taking away the summer heat. The tenant farmers who were harvesting rice in the fields stopped one after another, wiped the sweat with the cloth strips around their necks, rested for a while and then continued to work.
Food is the capital they depend on for survival. This year is the last year to rent the land. The owner of the land does not plan to rent it out. He says he wants to recruit farm workers. The annual salary for one mu of land is ten taels.
They had originally been regretting that they could no longer rent fields as cost-effectively as their original ones, but they did not expect that a pie in the sky would fall and they would be given such an opportunity, earning several times more than what they could earn by renting the fields themselves.
I hope he is a good master. I heard that there is a landlord in the next town who has been harsh on his tenants, leaving them with basically no income, which is equivalent to working for nothing!
In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't afford to pay the penalty, so he had to do it in silence. During those years, his family could barely make ends meet, and the black-hearted landlord and the tenant farmers couldn't do anything about him.
The world is unpredictable and the farmers are the worst off.
Smoke slowly rose from the houses at the foot of Tiger Mountain and gradually dissipated into the blue sky.
Gu Manzhu and her group moved in a few days ago.
Seeing that the autumn harvest was almost over, Gu Manzhu and others came early to prepare for planting the first batch of medicinal herbs.
Medicinal herbs cannot be planted directly anywhere. Unlike the medicine bracelet space, the fields in the medicine bracelet space are all excellent fertile fields. However, the real fields have no fertility at all after planting rice. They have to be plowed again and fertilized.
These days, fertilizers are applied during the planting process, which seems to be a big project.
Gu Manzhu leaned back in a wooden chair and thought about what she needed to do next. She decided to go out and check on the tenant farmers' autumn harvest.
When Xu Bo saw her leaving, he quickened his pace to follow her. She had only been here for a few days, and he was worried that she was not familiar with Shangshan Village.
Besides, most of the tenant farmers knew him, so it would be more convenient for him to take her there.
Gu Manzhu saw Xu Bo following her and did not refuse. Having him around would indeed save her a lot of trouble.
Shangshan Village is actually not small, but most of the houses are on the other side of the village, a bit far from Hushan Mountain. Maybe the villagers think that the tiger on Hushan Mountain is a time bomb, so most of the land near Hushan Mountain is fields.
This will make it convenient for her to grow and manage medicinal herbs in the future.
Strolling leisurely, they finally arrived at the fields that belonged to them.
The people in the fields were working so hard that they didn't notice two people coming to the field.
It was the little kid helping in the fields who discovered Gu Manzhu and the other person.
A half-grown child exclaimed: "Dad, there are fairies!"
When the father of the child in the field heard this, he turned around and scolded him.
When he raised his eyes, he saw two people by the field. They were indeed fairies. Although the woman was wearing simple cloth, her temperament could not be concealed. He did not know the woman, but he knew the man standing next to her.
The child's father, Zhang Sheng, quickly called out, "Uncle Xu, why are you in the field? Come on, come in, get a bowl of water for Uncle Xu and the others!"
The child Zhang Jin just listened to his father and quickly filled two bowls of water and handed them to them.
Gu Manzhu didn't despise it. She thanked him and took the water.
Jinzi's face turned red when the fairy smiled.
Gu Manzhu found it very funny. It seemed that she had not taken care of her body in vain these days. Her originally sallow face became fair.
She looked up at the fields. The rice in the fields was growing well, and the rice ears were bent with weight.
It can be seen that the owner has put in careful planting. I hope that I can also devote my heart and soul to planting medicinal herbs in the future.
She is not worried that the medicinal herbs cannot be grown, but she is worried that the planters are not careful. After all, growing medicinal herbs is not easy, and if you are not careful, they will be ruined.
Zhang Sheng hurried to harvest the remaining rice on the acre of land, then walked towards the shore. When people around him saw this, they also sped up their harvesting.
Zhang Sheng got ashore and came directly to Xu Bo without stopping: "Xu Bo, why are you in the fields today? We can return the fields after we harvest all the rice."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Xu Bo quickly clarified: "I am not here to ask for the fields today. I am here to bring our daughter to look at the fields and prepare for the planting of medicinal herbs later."
"Hahaha, I misunderstood," Zhang Sheng laughed heartily.
Turning his head, he looked at Gu Manzhu and said, "Don't worry, my lady from the master's family. We are all hardworking farmers. We have protected this land very well. We will plant medicinal herbs as carefully as we plant our own rice."
"Yes, yes, we in Shangshan Village are the most down-to-earth people. We will definitely grow the best medicinal herbs for you!"
The villagers in the fields nearby had also finished harvesting their rice and gathered around, talking in a flurry.
Looking at these enthusiastic villagers, Gu Manzhu liked Shangshan Village more and more. She believed that a village with a good atmosphere would develop one day, and God would not treat hardworking people unfairly.
"Young lady, Uncle Xu, don't just stand here, come to my house and have a drink of water!"
Zhang Jin invited them nervously, as he was afraid that the girls from the town would dislike them.
Unexpectedly, the host girl responded with a cheerful “Okay!”
He was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "Come, come this way, Jinzi, quickly carry your things and lead the way!"
The villagers nearby also followed him shamelessly.
Zhang Sheng's house is just an ordinary mud house, but it is spacious and tidy.
As soon as the neighbor entered the house, he heard Zhang Sheng yelling at his wife: "Fangzi, hurry up, the master's daughter and Uncle Xu are here, hurry up and bring out the delicious food!"
It was too late for Gu Manzhu to stop him, so she could only let him go.
Everyone sat down in the not very spacious main room. A few people didn't mind not having chairs, and found something to sit on to rest their feet. It was obvious that they had a good relationship and often visited each other.
Zhang Sheng's wife Fangzi brought in tea soon after everyone sat down, followed by another serving of cooked peanuts and edamame.
They put the things on the table, and Fangzi tugged at Zhang Sheng's clothes a little stiffly.
Zhang Sheng reacted instantly and greeted Gu Manzhu: "My little house is poor, so we don't have anything good to offer you. These are peanuts and edamame that I grew at home. I hope the lady from the host family won't dislike them!"
Gu Manzhu stood up and took the peanuts and edamame from Jinzi's hand, and replied softly, "We were born and raised eating grains. Peanuts and edamame are the best. Why should we dislike them?"
After that, he took a peanut, broke it open, and handed the peanut kernel to Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, try it. This peanut looks delicious. It's a rare opportunity to eat it."
When Zhang Sheng and his wife heard what Gu Manzhu said, their hearts instantly settled down.
The atmosphere in the main room gradually returned to being lively.
