The casual life of the flat space

When the praise and discussion of the crowd gradually died down, Village Chief Wang spoke again: "Anyway, I have said a lot of things today, so I am not afraid to tell you.

I won't talk about the chickens, ducks, and geese. It was Tieying who suggested that you collect mugwort and catch frogs and mantises over the past month. The money you received from selling these things was also paid by Tieying because he was afraid that you would not be willing to suffer losses or make contributions.

As for why, didn't you notice it every day? If you didn't notice it, it means that the toads and mantises have taken effect. Tieying's method is effective!

Let me make this clear today, the top priority for our village right now is to deal with what is going to happen next. Chen Ergou, if you cause trouble again, or if there are other troublemakers like him, you will be expelled from the village!

By the way, from now on, every household should voluntarily hand over the mugwort, toads, and mantises to me, so Tieying won’t have to subsidize them anymore!

I have accounts of how much each family pays. Before, some people secretly let their children go to the fields to catch ready-made money. Tieying had anticipated this and advised me not to care about it. After all, such families are a minority.

But now I have made it clear, if anyone continues to be cunning and sly, and orders their children to do shameless things, or take advantage of things they shouldn't take, you just have to wait until this difficult time is over, and I will settle the score with you!"

When Bai Tieying saw Village Chief Wang leaving with his hands behind his back, he quickly said, "Grandpa Wang, fellow villagers, please wait a moment. I have something else to say.

The first thing is that everyone has dried some of their vegetables over the past month, and please send them to me before this evening! As usual, I won’t charge you for anything less than fifty coins! But this time, please pick them all out first, because I was so tired of picking them out last time.”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and said they would definitely pick out the items before sending them over. In addition to thinking that Bai Tieying's words were funny, they also wanted to show their support for him.

How much advantage did those chickens, ducks and geese have taken? In addition to what the village chief said just now, everyone was somewhat grateful to this good girl who had been silent before and now silently working behind the scenes.

"The second thing is that if your chickens, ducks, and geese have laid eggs, you can eat them yourself or save them to sell. Before I collect them, I don't care how much you save!"

"Hey, how come Tieying is such a good kid!"

"Haha, you should have told me earlier. Gou Wa cried several times because he was greedy, but I didn't give him any food. I saved it all!"

"Hey, have your chickens laid eggs yet? Why haven't mine laid eggs yet?"

Bai Tieying raised his hand to suppress the discussion among the crowd, and then said:

"The third thing is that my uncle is going to set up two schools in our village. The first school is for the adults in our village. Whoever goes to the mountains to collect mountain products will be sent to study.

My uncle will teach everyone what common herbs are, how to collect them and where to collect them for free. This is for everyone to have multiple incomes in the future. Don't let anyone say how much money I can make. I am now counting on everyone to make a fortune and help me!

The second school may open later. It is for the children in our village. Anyone who has children who want to study medicine will be sent there.

It is impossible not to charge tuition, because parents will not urge their children to study hard if they don't spend money, but we can charge less or exempt part of it. When the time comes, I will pay the shortfall from the chickens, ducks and geese that everyone has handed in this year. After all, the purpose of setting up these two schools is to let everyone in our village live a good life."

When everyone heard about this third thing, their attitude was different from the previous two. They all asked Bai Tieying to confirm it again. In the end, Village Chief Wang suppressed it and asked them to talk about it later.

"Okay, one last thing. My family is moving into a new house on August 20th. Everyone come and have a drink with us!"

"This is a great thing!"

"Hey, congratulations!"

"Tieying is a really capable kid! He built such a big house in no time!"

"Don't worry, Tieying. I'll go and help you early that morning!"

"Tieying, if your family needs anything, just let me know!"

……

Everyone dispersed while talking and laughing. Bai Tieying took his second brother and others to Aunt Li's house to deliver more than fifty chickens, and then asked his second brother and others to take the rest away when they returned as a reward.

Seeing the boss was so kind, the second brother originally refused to accept it, and the other men also agreed that they couldn't accept it. Bai Tieying said that she wanted to thank the second brother and the other brothers and uncles for being so kind, and if they didn't mind, they could recognize her as their sister and niece, and they could take care of each other in the future.

The second brother thought that the other party didn't really need a hundred chickens, so he agreed, and said that if Chen Ergou did something wrong again, they would promise to help Bai Tieying vent his anger.

Over there, Chen Ergou was untied by Aunt Chen Er, and as expected, he started yelling at Aunt Chen Er again. Given his temper, he wanted to beat Aunt Chen Er to vent his anger, but he was in so much pain that he could only curse angrily. It wasn't until someone threw a stone in through the window that he stopped.

The village chief said that thing had appeared in the fields, so Bai Tieying had been paying attention to it these days. Sure enough, there were more and more of them. So these days, in addition to putting all the toads and mantises received in the space into the ground, he also used the space to cut a large amount of mugwort and dried it for use.

The "chicken farm" in the county town that was looked after by Old Man Zeng had not sold many chickens in the more than one month since she left. As a result, Manager Zhang suddenly sent a letter saying that all the chickens were sold out in the past few days, and asked Bai Tieying to go and check the situation.

When Bai Tieying arrived, he found the house empty. He quickly found an excuse to get Old Man Zeng away and added a thousand chickens, ducks, geese and feed to the house.

Bai Tieying went to the county town on August 15th. Uncle still "sticks to his post", so Uncle Dafu has to help and can't go out. So Bai Tieying took Bai Tiexiong and Mu Qingqiu out shopping.

You can really tell that it is a festival, because the main street running north and south is bustling with people and cars, as if some level has been unlocked in this county town, and no one knows where so many people suddenly appeared from.

The colorful arches and gates in front of all the restaurants were decorated with new decorations, the clerks in every shop were so busy that they had no time to rest. The peddlers who walked the streets no longer had to walk. If they stood at any street corner, they would soon be surrounded by young girls, young wives and a group of children.

Bai Tieying held Bai Tiexiong's hand tightly, regretting why she came out to join in the fun during the festival. If she lost her brother, she didn't know if he would go crazy and arrest everyone in the county. Besides, the two sisters were shorter than each other, and they couldn't be seen in the crowd if they were out of place.
