When we came to the south, there was no kang or floor heating, so we had to endure the cold weather.

How could Song Yanzhi, with her frail body, bear it? She could only light a brazier and sit by it every day.

Roasting chestnuts and grilling tangerines every day, life is not boring.

He was holding a bright yellow orange in his hand. Han Heming walked in from outside the door. There was a thin layer of snow on his head and body.

"You're back. How was your harvest this time?"

first two

A few days ago, Han Heming went into the mountains and did not come back until today. After this trip, he never went back into the mountains again.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many things to do, such as preparing New Year's goods and cleaning the house.

"A great harvest, do you want to go and see it?"

Han Heming looked at the little girl who wrapped herself up like a bear and laughed secretly. How could his wife be so cute?

"No, it's cold."

Song Yanzhi pouted and didn't want to leave the brazier at all, he said coquettishly.

"Tell me about it, could the prey you hunt give us a good New Year?"

The family had money, so they didn't care whether Han Heming could hunt or not. However, Han Heming was still very pleased with what Song Yanzhi said, as if Song Yanzhi was looking forward to the prey he would bring back.

"That's enough! I shot over thirty pheasants and over forty hares, as well as a few yellow jays, roe deer, and deer. You like roasted sparrows, don't you? I shot dozens for you, too. It's a pity there aren't many large animals here."

Han Heming laughed heartily. Hunting on the hilltop near his home was the most comfortable thing. Who said there were no large animals? He still had a great time hunting these pheasants and rabbits.

"Wow, that's a lot! You're amazing."

Song Yanzhi gave timely compliments, saying that Han Heming was a really good hunter. As long as he was around, they would never go hungry.

"We can't eat all the pheasants and rabbits. Can we give a couple to each tenant?"

Tomorrow is the 22nd day of the lunar year, and the day after tomorrow is called the Little New Year. We will give out rouge to all the tenants. We want them to have a good New Year, and we have already notified them to come to our house on the 22nd day of the lunar year to receive the New Year gifts.

Who said that the crops in the fields have not grown yet and there is no income yet? Song Yanzhi also doesn't want to treat his tenants unfairly. He can't let the tenants who have followed them for the first year feel disappointed.

And because of the last incident with the irrigation canal, he gave the tenants a reward of silver. After that, the tenants were extra careful when sowing. His family's land had been kept tidy in the past few months, and it looked like he had put a lot of thought into it.

Moreover, after the crops in the field are planted, the tenants help him to ferment the fertilizer for several months. When the snow melts next year, the fermented fertilizer will be spread on the wheat field. The wheat will definitely grow better and have a higher yield than that of other fields.

Since the tenants were so busy, she had to reward them well.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll do whatever you say."

Han Heming always listened to Song Yanzhi when it came to small matters at home.

"On the 23rd, let's go to the county to celebrate the Little New Year and take some kids out to play."

Ever since the last incident of the frightened horse, Yanbianzi would not take the children out easily, unless Han Heming was with them, then he would take the children out.

Ajiu and Dawa have been studying and have not been out for several months. He wants to take the children out to relax and gain more experience.

"All right, I'll do as you say."

On the 22nd, the tenants came to visit, many of them men and women. Song Yanzhi cleaned up the reception room, with the men in one room and the women and children in another. She prepared some melon seeds and snacks and talked with them.

Han Heming brought back two pigs from the pig farm, asked the women to boil water, and the men to slaughter the pigs. After the pigs were slaughtered, each family took some pork home.

At noon, Song Yanzhi prepared food and invited everyone to have a meal at Han's house. Since there were so many people, she didn't make too elaborate dishes. She only had sea bass stewed with tofu, pork stewed with vermicelli, and a big pot of braised pork, which made everyone's mouths drool.

These tenants were lucky to have enough food to eat, so how could they have ever experienced the pleasure of eating meat?

After the meal, everyone was filled with gratitude to the host, feeling that the host did not treat them as tenants, but rather as guests in the home.

After lunch, the women helped to clear the dishes, and Song Yanzhi and Han Heming distributed the gifts.

They first distributed half a piece of coarse cloth and fifty coins to each tenant according to the number of tenants reported.

Then, ten pounds of pork, a pheasant and a rabbit, and two pounds of oil and salt were distributed to each household according to the number of households.

The tenants never expected that the owner would be so generous as to give them ten pounds of pork. You know, one pound of pork costs twenty-five coins, and ten pounds is two hundred and fifty coins.

As tenant farmers, they could not even get enough to eat, so how could they have money to buy pork? Each family could not eat more than two pounds of pork in a whole year.

But the host gave them ten kilograms of food at once, not to mention oil and salt, so that they could have a good New Year this time.

Everyone was grateful. Young and old knelt in the yard and kowtowed to Han Heming and Song Yanzhi. There were so many people that Han Heming and Song Yanzhi couldn't hold them all together. They finally let everyone kowtow three times before they went home happily.

The tenants were delighted, and the tenants in Lizao Village soon found out what was going on.

As farmers, we envied the tenants for the first time.

Not to mention, Hu Sangang, who is also a tenant.

"His father, you insisted on taking the lead in this, and now everyone has work to do, but we are the only one without. When the famine comes next spring, what will we do?"

After hearing about what the Han family distributed to the tenants, Hu Sangang's wife returned home with a gloomy face and started complaining to Hu Sangang.

The man in her family has lofty ambitions, but his life is fragile. He even wants to control the Han family, but now his family has no work to do.

"You damn bitch, you had no objections when we were living a good life together, but now you're yelling like a ghost? If you feel like you can't live like this, get out of our Hu family."

Hu Sangang was also very angry. The news that he wanted to take control of the Han family had spread a long time ago. He went to several families with large lands to ask for work, but when others saw it was him, they all ignored him and no one dared to rent the land to him for farming.

He was the one who messed up this time. No, it wasn't him. Hu Sangang was unwilling to admit his mistake. It was his nephew Hu Yong who held him back.

Thinking of this, he clenched his hands tightly until veins appeared on his fingers. Only then did he calm down. Since his nephew didn't want his family to live, then they might as well die together.

Hu Sangang smiled sinisterly, and his terrifying look scared his wife so much that she dared not speak anymore.
