NOVEL NEXT Chapter 66
Chapter 66: The Sergeant Came To The Village
Chapter 66 The officer comes to the village
Apart from the four new animals, Yin Miao had not forgotten the six eggs she bought from chickens during the day. Since the boss said she could hatch chicks, she believed it.
It’s just that after looking at the chickens in the henhouse pecking and jumping around, she thought that it was probably impossible for any chickens to hatch this egg.
With the idea of giving it a try, she put the egg in the fresh-keeping box, thinking that even if it doesn’t hatch, at least the egg will not expire.
After doing this, Yin Miao walked towards the three acres of space again.
She took out some of the food accumulated in the space after trading with Li Tianyang, and now there is less than a stone left.
She nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, letting things take their course is the best. Isn’t this resolved all at once?
Several fruit trees in the space have also grown leaves, and even pulled out many new branches, and the whole field is more vibrant at a glance.
“I don’t know when I can eat fruit?”
Yin Miao muttered.
【If the host wants to speed up the growth of plants, he only needs to collect jade to upgrade the space. 】
The system replied immediately.
“You can rest assured, if I encounter an opportunity to upgrade, I will definitely upgrade the space.”
After guessing that Xiao Xuan was hoarding food, she was not so worried that the food could not be consumed.
The world is always short of food.
The vegetables and herbs growing beside the field were all healthy, and she picked a red tomato and ate it.
She didn’t know where the tomato came from. It was probably from the pile of seeds she bought before, or from the herbal seeds that Su Wanfeng gave, because there was only this tomato in the entire space.
There is no fruit, so use this as a substitute.
…
The wall at the entrance of Changling Village was finally completed after a few days of construction.
Weilizheng got a big iron gate from somewhere and installed it at the entrance. The iron gate is closed on time every night, and the village finally does not need to arrange a vigil.
On this day, the officials sent by the county to collect the land tax finally came to Changling Village.
“This village is really interesting, and it has a wall.”
The officer headed by rode a brown horse, looked at the not-so-short earth wall and laughed.
“I heard that mountain bandits came here before. Perhaps because of this reason, the villagers are worried that those mountain bandits will come back again.”
A young sergeant at the back replied.
“A comeback? I don’t think it’s possible. So many bandits have been **** and thrown at the gate of the county government. Even if there are still remnants, they don’t dare to be as reckless as before.”
Lu Cunxin only stood outside for a moment, and Wei Lizheng hurriedly walked out from the earthen wall.
“I don’t know that the official messenger is visiting today. Please forgive me if I have lost the courtesy.”
Wei Li was a little worried when he saw that the official was a stranger.
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter whether you welcome it or not, as long as the villagers cooperate and pay the grain, it is enough.”
Lu Cunxin’s smile was still a bit bitter. This was the time when he resisted the most every year. The farmers didn’t want to see them as officials, and they were the same.
Wei Lizheng smiled awkwardly, but he still took Lu Cunxin and a dozen officials behind him into the village.
There were eleven officers along with Lv Cunxin, and there was a carriage at the back, and the villagers who saw it knew that the carriage was there to carry the food their family had worked hard to save.
“Wei Lizheng, why don’t you see the children in the village?”
Lu Cunxin couldn’t help but ask.
When they went to other villages before, the children at the entrance of the village would shout and leave in a hurry when they saw them. Of course, it was not to welcome them, but to avoid them like a plague.
“To tell the truth, there is a teacher in the village. Now he teaches in the village every day. Because the tuition fees are not high, many villagers send their children there.”
Wei Xingchang said quite proudly.
“It’s a good idea, but it’s really rare to have a teacher in the village.”
Lu Cunxin didn’t ask any further questions, and after chatting with Wei Lizheng for a while, he was ready to start harvesting food.
Yin Bowu and Yin Chengyun both received the news, and after those officials entered the village, they hid at home, and the door of the Yin family was closed.
“I really pick a day, today is Miao’er’s birthday.”
Zhen Shi was washing the little greens that Yin Miao had just picked from the vegetable field.
“Our household tax has already been handed over to Wei Lizheng, as long as they don’t come, it won’t matter.”
Wei put a few large scoops of rice into the pot and smothered it, while Yin Zhenghong sat behind the stove and burned firewood.
The whole family is preparing for this rare family feast. In addition to the big rooster that he bought at a high price last time, Wei asked Yunhe to help kill two bigger broilers.
Yunhe took his sword and waved, and the three chickens ended their lives without pain.
“Yunhe, I’m really bothering you for letting you manage such a big family banquet.”
Yin Bowu was sitting in the backyard cleaning up the chicken with boiling water. This method was also taught to him by Yunhe.
“Master asked me to cook a family dinner with my heart.”
Yunhe just said.
“Master Xiao’s illness has gotten better in the past two days?” Yin Chengyun asked aside.
Yunhe nodded: “After eating the soup prepared by Mrs. Wei for a few days, I feel better.”
Yin Miao, who was dressed in a goose yellow plain gauze, still wanted to laugh after hearing this. Mrs. Wei specially asked Granny Hua how to make a medicated meal. To show her sincerity, she cooked it herself. As a result, she almost smelled the stewed medicated meal. spit it out.
However, Xiao Xuan still drank bowl after bowl of “medicated food” in front of his face, and even cancelled the poison test session.
“That’s good, it seems that sister-in-law still has a way.”
Yin Chengyun continued to pour boiling water into the basin, the smell of chicken feathers was unpleasant, Yin Miao simply returned to the front yard.
Now all the chickens, ducks, pigs and horses at home are kept in the backyard, which is also convenient for Yin Miao to secretly feed them. She often uses the steamed taro and sweet potatoes in the space as feed to feed the pigs, although this is a bit wasteful.
But the fact that the Yin family wants to live behind closed doors does not mean that others hope so.
Sun Heshun stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the official who was collecting the rent. Just as he was about to step out, he was pulled by Sun Lian behind him.
“Brother, if you don’t hurry to borrow food, what are you doing here?”
Sun Lian asked angrily.
Sun Heshun sneered and said, “Have you seen it? It’s an official from the county government. It’s not easy for us to meet once.”
“It’s not easy, isn’t it? Don’t you want them to come to harvest food every day?”
Sun Lian rolled his eyes at Sun Heshun.
“Sister, you said that if I go to report meritorious deeds, will the county clerk spare our family’s food?”
Sun Heshun smiled cruelly, and he couldn’t borrow food anyway.
Reporting?
Sun Lian thought of something after hearing this: “Did you want to…”
Seeing Sun Lian pointing in one direction, Sun Heshun nodded, and the two stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, before they saw Sun Heshun walking towards the officials who were registering food.
