I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village
Chapter 33 Who are you?
After breakfast the next morning, Li Chunping took Wang Po, Zhang and Li Lan to the wasteland where the house was to be built.
"The eldest girl is here." Li Chunlei shouted.
Li Lan saw that it was her uncle and her third uncle. The smile on her face widened a little. She quickly stepped forward and called out, "Uncle, Third Uncle."
Li Chunlei and Li Chunsheng responded with a smile.
"Uncle San, have you started building the house?"
Li Chunsheng looked at her, understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "It's covered, but it's okay, you guys can cover it first, and I'll go to our side in the afternoon."
After hearing his words, Li Lan smiled and said, "Uncle San, you should take care of your side first. We have a lot of people here, so the construction won't be slow."
Seeing that she insisted, Li Chunsheng had no choice but to nod in agreement without saying anything.
When everyone saw Li Lan coming, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted her with a smile.
"Uncles, thank you all for your help. I will treat you to meat in a few days." Li Lan smiled, clasped his fists towards everyone and thanked them, and promised.
When everyone saw her like this and heard her say that she would treat them to meat, the eyes of the middle-aged men present lit up and they smiled honestly.
Li Lan wandered around the wasteland and finally found a place where he could grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"Grandma, Mom, come here quickly."
When Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang heard her cry, they thought something had happened to her and hurried over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong with my daughter?" Zhang, who came over hurriedly, shouted loudly.
Li Lan looked up at the two people who had hurried over. When they approached, he smiled and whispered, "It's okay, Mom and Grandma. Let's water and till the land today. I want to plant something. It was given by an immortal, and they say it can yield several thousand kilograms per mu."
"What the hell? Thousands of pounds? Oh my god." Zhang widened her eyes in disbelief.
Mrs. Wang was so surprised that she was speechless.
The two of them looked at each other, sorted out their emotions, and nodded in agreement.
Several people went home to get buckets to fetch water from the farmland and started working.
Li Lan and his companions were busy in the wasteland, unaware that a number of old women and wives had gathered at the gate of their own yard to watch the fun.
"Oh, this is the husband that Lan bought. He seems to be literate and has a good physique." An old woman whispered to another old woman next to her.
"What's the use? What's the point of a farmer like us knowing how to read and write? Look at him, he's so dark and he's lame, he definitely can't do any work." The other woman curled her lips and looked at the wooden stick placed next to Zhou Yuntian. She felt that he was not worthy of Li Lan and said with disdain.
"Of course he is. He's not even as good as my nephew from my mother's side." Chen rolled her eyes in her heart and thought, I don't know what kind of vision that girl has.
"Oh, Ruyi, are you planning to marry Lan to your nephew from your mother's side?" said Mrs. Hua while cracking melon seeds.
Chen rolled her eyes at Hua Pozi's sarcastic words and raised her voice, "Why? No? My nephew from my mother's side is not bad either. Besides, if the eldest girl marries him, it will be an even closer relationship."
Mrs. Hua sneered and said loudly, "Your family is always asking for money, and your nephew never works and relies on his parents for support. You are even more closely related to him. Just forget it."
As soon as Hua Pozi finished speaking, everyone laughed out loud.
Seeing everyone like this, Chen stamped her feet in anger and quickly ran into the yard and walked towards the house. When she passed Zhou Yuntian who was sitting in the yard reading, she glared at him. She didn't even notice Li He who was sitting next to him and hurried into the house.
Zhou Yuntian: “…”
Li Hang, Li Run, and Li He who were sitting on the side looked at Zhou Yuntian who was sitting as steady as a rock on the chair, their eyes shining and their faces full of admiration.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are so amazing. You are not afraid even with so many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law looking at you." Li Run supported his little face with his hands, his eyes shining.
The other two children listened to his words and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yuntian put down the book, his eyes flickering as he said, "They are not ferocious beasts."
He paused for a moment, looking at the children in front of him with shining eyes, and then continued, "Once you decide to do something, as long as you are focused and determined enough, then no one or anything outside of you will be affected."
Li Run and Li He nodded, seemingly understanding. Li Hang's eyes lit up after hearing Zhou Yuntian's words. He really liked this brother-in-law.
At this time, Wang and Li Xing came back carrying a large basket. From a distance, they saw a group of women gathered outside their yard, whispering to each other. They looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.
They walked forward quickly.
"What are all these people looking at in our yard?" Wang said loudly with a smile.
"Oh, Chunlei's family is back. We are looking at your nephew-in-law." A woman who was on good terms with Wang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wang and Li Xing hurriedly looked into the courtyard. They saw a man with a dark complexion sitting on a chair. Next to him sat Li Hang, Li Run, and Li He. They were talking about something, and the children's eyes were bright.
Li Xing looked at the man in the yard and her face flushed with excitement. She quickly ran into the yard and shouted excitedly, "Brother-in-law, my name is Li Xing."
Zhou Yuntian: “…”
"Second sister, you're back." Li Run shouted.
"Second sister, our brother-in-law is so awesome, just as awesome as our eldest sister." Li He said excitedly. For the first time, his voice was full of power.
Li Hang also smiled proudly, because this was his brother-in-law.
After hearing what Li He said, Li Xing's eyes lit up and she said proudly, "My sister is so capable, my brother-in-law must be no worse."
……
Wang, who had just entered the yard, listened to the children's conversation with a helpless look on her face. She said to the women and daughters-in-law outside the yard, "It's getting dark soon. The men will be back soon. Aunts, hurry home and cook."
After hearing what Wang said, everyone looked at the sky, quickly dispersed, and hurried back to their homes.
Wang was relieved to see that everyone had left. She looked at the people talking in the yard, shook her head, and went back to the house.
On Li Lan's side, the three of them had tilled seven mu of land, planning to till more tomorrow to make a full mu. They would plant half a mu each of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"My girl, have you finished turning the soil? Why don't we go back first and come back early tomorrow to do it." Li Chunping came over from the construction site and shouted.
Li Lan looked up at the sky. It was indeed late. He was hungry after working all day.
"Grandma, Mom, let's go home first. We'll do it tomorrow."
Wang Pozi and Zhang looked at the turned land and nodded reluctantly, thinking that they should come earlier tomorrow to turn the land and plant the things given by the immortal quickly, as they were magical things that could produce several thousand kilograms per mu.
Li Lan watched the two people's reluctance to part, feeling both amused and sad. At the same time, a pang of sadness washed over him. In this era, grain yields per acre were low, and food was scarce. In modern times, with plenty of food, countless people wasted it. But here, ordinary people would be so happy just to have a bowl of white rice that they'd almost lick the bowl clean.
No matter what, since she is here, she will do her best to change the status quo.
She clenched her fists, turned around, picked up the hoe, and shouted to Li Chunping, "Okay, Dad, let's go back first."
When they returned home, Wang Pozi and Zhang went to the kitchen to cook, while Li Chunping and Li Lan went to see Zhou Yuntian.
Before they even entered the house, they heard a deep, rich voice coming from inside. Li Lan raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "Hey, is this a story?" The two exchanged glances and hurried inside.
As soon as I entered the house, all the children in the family, even the eldest one Li Hai, were there. They listened attentively, sometimes nodded in agreement, and sometimes lowered their heads to think.
Li Lan looked at this scene, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Zhou Yuntian with a look that was half thoughtful and half scrutinizing.
The story had just finished when Zhou Yuntian looked at Li Lan. Seeing her eyes full of scrutiny, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. This girl was too alert and sensitive. It seemed that she couldn't escape today.
The children turned around and saw Li Lan, and they all surrounded him happily.
Seeing how happy they were, Li Lan smiled and said, "Are you listening to a story?"
"Yes, sister, my brother-in-law tells great stories." Li Xing said proudly.
Li Lan: “…”
"Yes, sister, your brother-in-law is really awesome." Li Jiang said admiringly with shining eyes (the second son of the eldest wife).
"Sister, sister, I like my brother-in-law so much." Li He said shyly and softly.
"Sister, sister, I like my brother-in-law the most. He is as awesome as you." Li Run smiled and flattered her.
The others also nodded in agreement.
Li Lan: “…”
This man is really good at tricks. He has only been here for a few days and has already stolen the hearts of the children. She couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly, touched the youngest Li He, and said, "Okay, your brother-in-law is amazing, but he is still injured. How about you go out first and let him rest for a while?"
At this time, Zhou Yuntian, who was sitting on the kang against the wall, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard Li Lan say that he was "awesome".
After hearing what Li Lan said, the children turned around to look at Zhou Yuntian who was sitting on the kang, nodded reluctantly, and walked out, looking back every few steps.
Li Hai, who was passing by Li Lan, leaned over and whispered, "Sister, this brother-in-law is really good except for his shortcomings." After saying that, he winked at her.
Li Lan: “…”
Li Chunping watched the children walk out, coughed lightly, and said, "My daughter, I'll go out first. I'll call you when your mother finishes cooking."
Li Lan nodded and said okay.
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Lan sat down on a chair next to the table by the window. His face was calm and his eyes were cold. He looked directly into Zhou Yuntian's eyes and asked in a cold tone, "Who are you?"
Zhou Yuntian looked at Li Lan's apathetic expression. For some reason, he felt a sudden fear in his heart. He didn't know what he was afraid of. He couldn't quite fathom why he felt this way. He frowned, but since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I am Zhou Yuntian, the supervisor in charge of this disaster relief."
After hearing his answer, Li Lan's eyes flickered. His face remained calm, but he was deeply shocked. It was him, the genius of the Qin Dynasty, the newly crowned number one scholar, Zhou Yuntian, who had been talked about in the town and the county a while ago.
She pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Did you affect the interests of certain factions in the imperial court during this disaster relief effort?"
After hearing what Li Lan said, Zhou Yuntian was slightly shocked. He looked at her deeply and thought to himself: This woman is more powerful than he imagined.
