I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. Bai Jingzhou wanted to see how they performed this year.

The three old men nodded in agreement. Jiang Zhuangtou bowed and spoke on behalf of everyone, "We will lead our family members to work hard for the boss."

Bai Jingzhou nodded slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble you three."

After a pause, he continued, "I will leave a cow for you to use. You should feed it well."

The three old men were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him in unison.

Not only did the new owner not make things difficult for them, he also sent a cow to the farm and took very good care of them, which made the three old men suddenly full of hope for their future life.

They secretly made up their minds that they must take good care of the crops in the fields, the fruit trees on the mountains, and the fish in the pond with their families, so that the new owner could see how diligent and capable they were, and then continue to employ them next year.

Bai Jingzhou had no idea what they were thinking. After explaining everything he needed to say, he sent the three old men away.

Jiang Zhuangtou's wife and daughter stayed because Gu Wenxuan asked them to prepare lunch for themselves and Gu Wenxuan.

As for the people they brought with them, after Jiang Zhuangtou left, they found places to settle down according to Bai Jingzhou's request.

All the men lived in the first courtyard, and all the women lived in the second courtyard. However, they did not live in the main house, but chose to squeeze into the back house and the east and west wing rooms.

Anyway, most of the rooms here have heated brick beds. One room can sleep at least five or six people, and at most ten people. The back house and the east and west wing rooms alone are spacious enough for them to live in.

They didn't need Jiang Zhuangtou's wife and daughter to cook for them. Gu Wenxuan had already said that they could use the kitchens in the first and second courtyards freely.

After Jiang Zhuangtou's wife and daughter prepared dinner for Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, the women brought by Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou went to the kitchen on their own initiative.

They have already negotiated with the men living in the first courtyard that they will bring out a portion of their daily cooking for the men. In exchange, the men will help them collect firewood and occasionally drive them to town.

As for how this group of people make a living, some women weave cloth, embroider, some knit, make shoes, and some weave various objects with willow branches. If they don't have any special skills, they can learn skills while earning the materials they need to survive by sharing trivial tasks such as cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning.

As for the men, in addition to going out to collect firewood every day and waiting to do chores at Bai Jingzhou's beckoning at any time, they were also responsible for helping Bai Jingzhou take care of the mare and the donkey, as well as secretly observing what kind of people the farmers on the farm were, and whether any of them were sneaky or even committing crimes.

Of course, this division of labor is not fixed. Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou will assign them additional tasks in the future depending on the situation.

After settling the people they brought out from the bandit camp, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan went to their other farm.

Just like when they were in this manor, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou did not do the usual routine of a new official making three big moves upon taking office.

All affairs in Zhuangzi remain as they are for the time being. They still need to observe quietly for a while to see who is good and who is bad.

After pacifying the farmers in the two villages, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou went to Liulin Town again. On the one hand, they needed to give up the two houses that they had rented to the survivors from the bandit camp, and on the other hand, they also wanted to buy some things to improve the lives of their families.

After giving up the two rented houses, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou immediately ran to buy toilet paper. To be honest, both of them were fed up with using straw sticks, leaves and the like.

In addition, they bought some black, white and grey threads, the best quality coarse cloth, scented soap and bath beans.

Buying scented soap and bath beans is also to solve hygiene problems, and buying thread and coarse cloth is to make clothes and bedding for family members.

The thank-you gifts sent by Mu Jingzhi and Peng Xuan'an included fine cloth of extremely high quality. Apart from a small portion given to relatives, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou planned to use the rest to make clothes and bedding for their family members.

In order to avoid attracting envy and to make the clothes more wear-resistant and durable, they planned to use only fine cloth to make inner clothes, quilt covers, sheets, etc., while outer clothes would still be made of coarse cloth.

In addition, the two also bought 50 kilograms of millet, glutinous rice, and white flour, and one pig tongue, pig heart, pig stomach, and pig liver each.

People in this time and space had figured out how to use wood ash to wash pig offal more than ten years ago, so it is not the case that pig offal is very cheap, or that time travelers can make a unique business out of the washing method.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou bought these because they both love to eat cold and braised pig tongue, pig heart, pig liver, as well as stir-fried pork tripe and pork tripe chicken soup.

The livestock and carts were left at the farm by the two of them. They had to walk back with their full loads of goods, just like before, carrying them on their backs and in their arms.

Fortunately, Gu Wenxuan was very strong, and Bai Jingzhou was also strong due to his martial arts training. In addition, Baijia Village was very close to Liulin Town, so the two of them moved all the things back to the village without much effort.

As before, Gu Wenxuan sent Bai Jingzhou back home first.

Seeing her poor son asking Gu Wenxuan to help him carry such heavy things again, Ning Cuizhi couldn't help feeling guilty.

Even though Gu Wenxuan told her more than once that she was strong and could lift it, Ning Cuizhi still felt guilty.

She took most of the tofu sent by Bai Jingzhou's second aunt and gave it to Bai Jingzhou, "This is what I left for Wenxuan's family. Please help Wenxuan deliver it home."

As she spoke, she signaled with her eyes that Bai Jingzhou should be smarter and help Gu Wenxuan share the burden of the three heavy bags of grain.

Bai Jingzhou obediently put the tofu into the backpack, and then took a bag of glutinous rice from Gu Wenxuan without making any excuses for the division of labor between himself and Gu Wenxuan.

Before this, he carried a bag of millet and two strings of pig offal, and the backpack behind him was filled with straw paper, bath beans, cloth and other things. In fact, he carried a lot of things, but he was afraid of comparison in everything. Standing next to the strongman Gu Wenxuan, he did seem too relaxed.

The two of them moved the things back to Gu's house at the end of the village, and then Bai Jingzhou left with a smile after being warmly invited by the Gu family. After Bai Jingzhou left, Gu Wenxuan happily began to distribute the things she had bought.

Hearing Gu Wenxuan say that the tofu was sent by Ning Cuizhi and not bought from Bai Jingzhou's second uncle's house, Jia Guizhi couldn't help but pat her daughter on the shoulder, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Jingzhou's mother brought something to our family, how can we let Jingzhou go back empty-handed?"
