Chapter 121 The red-faced Mr. Chen 2
"Grandma, aren't you going to open a pig farm? There will be a lot of time to go to various places in the future.
My father said that sending the carriage to you is also to make the pig farm run better. "
Mrs. Zhang knew that it was her daughter and son-in-law's filial piety, but she couldn't say no."
I can only tell my old man that he must raise the pigs well and not let his daughter and son-in-law lose money.
When Chen Xue and Chen Chong returned home, they saw the carriage in front of their house and recognized the horse grazing on the roadside as their sister-in-law's Dahei.
Chen Chong rushed into the yard happily:
"Grandma, are my sister-in-law and sister here?"
"First cousin, second cousin, my mother didn't come, only I came."
Su Wan walked out of the kitchen while eating her grandma's freshly cooked crispy pork.
The two boys were very happy to see Su Wan.
Chen Chong: "Wanwan, do you still want to eat lotus pods? I'll pick them for you."
Chen Xue: "Wanwan, there is also the wild fruit from last time, do you want to eat it?"
Su Wan stuffed a piece of crispy meat into each of her two cousins.
"First cousin, second cousin, I can just eat the crispy pork fried by grandma."
Mrs. Zhang's voice came from the kitchen:
"Wanwan, stay at grandma's house for dinner tonight. After dinner, grandma will ask your uncle to take you back."
The two villages are close to each other, and there is a carriage at home now, so I don't have to worry about being late on my return.
Su Wan fell in love with her grandma's cooking the last time she tasted it. Hearing this, she replied without hesitation: "That's great, grandma."
"Hey, we have another distinguished guest at home. Why are there two horses?"
Second uncle Chen Damu's voice sounded outside the courtyard gate, and Su Wan trotted out: "Second uncle, these two carriages belong to your family now. You can try to drive them."
"What? Wanwan, what did you say?"
Not only Chen Damu was surprised by Su Wan's words, but Chen Laoer who was following behind carrying a hoe was also shocked by his granddaughter's words.
When did their old Chen family buy a carriage?
"Grandpa," Su Wan stepped forward with a smile and took the hoe from Old Chen's hand: "This carriage is a tribute to you and grandma from my parents. Do you like it?"
"Oh, Wanwan, what are you, your parents doing..."
Before her grandfather could say the same words of rejection, Su Wan took her grandfather's hand and put it on the horse's reins.
"Grandpa, the younger generation respects you. You just have to enjoy it. Come on, can you try and see if you can drive a carriage?"
Chen Laoer's hand holding the reins trembled slightly. Horses are precious things to ordinary people. This is the first time the old man has driven a carriage in such a long life.
Under Su Wan's command, Chen Laoer made the carriage move.
Chen Xuechen rushed to the two boys who gathered around the rolling carriage and shouted happily: "Grandpa is so awesome, Grandpa is so awesome..."
Chen Laoer drove the carriage around the village. Now every household in Xinghua Village knew that Chen Laoer's youngest daughter and son-in-law had bought a carriage for Chen Laoer's family.
"Oh, my second son, your big flower family has become so prosperous that they have even bought a carriage."
"Yes, Chen Laoer, what does your little son-in-law do? How do you earn so much money?"
"Now that I'm old, Chen Laoer actually enjoys the blessing of a little daughter. It's really unexpected that that cowardly little son-in-law can have such ability."
.......
Chen Laoer received admiration and praise from all the villagers, who praised him for being beautiful. His whole face was rosy, as if he had drank two taels of fake wine.
Su Wan couldn't help but sigh that the old man was too coaxing.
It was already dark after dinner, and Mrs. Zhang insisted that Chen Dashu take Su Wan home, otherwise she would sleep at their house for the night.
Su Wan couldn't resist and asked her uncle to drive an unskilled carriage back home.
When leaving Su's house, Chen Yunzhi gave Chen Dashu another portion of lettuce, mustard and tomato seeds.
Then he took the ripe tomatoes, the pheasants and rabbits he had caught in the past few days to the carriage.
Su Minan thought of the sweet potatoes growing vigorously in the sand and said to his brother-in-law:
"Brother, parents don't have to worry about feeding the pigs. My family grows sweet potatoes, and the sweet potato leaves are just right for feeding the pigs."
Chen Dashu returned to Xinghua Village with a cart full of things.
Su Wan suddenly remembered something: "Dad, my grandpa's family will grind the husks from the rice into chaff and mix it with pig grass to feed the pigs. Rice husks are also used to make preserved eggs in the duck house. Do we have to use the purchased rice? Is the shell issue on the agenda?"
"Dad will entrust Patriarch Su to help with this matter tomorrow."
In case the old patriarch always feels that he does not regard him as one of his own, he will go to Li Zheng and Patriarch Ye if anything happens.
In the past few days, Li Zheng's eldest son Ye Qiren has started recruiting workers in the village again.
When Patriarch Su heard that his eldest daughter-in-law told him that the Su family had reserved a place for his injured eldest son, he didn't know how to thank Su Min for making the family happy.
As soon as he heard that Su Minan was asking him to do something, he happily agreed immediately.
"Min'an, don't worry, Uncle Clan will definitely handle this for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Clan."
"Thank you for what? My uncle should be thanking you, Min'an. Thank you for thinking of the Su family regardless of past grudges."
"Uncle Clan, it's all in the past. We have to look forward. From now on, Taohua Village will be the same family with the surname Ye and Su. We will work together to make Taohua Village better and better."
After hearing this, Patriarch Su became very motivated and went to collect chaff from house to house on crutches.
A villager shouted to Su Min'an: "Min'an, I have something to ask you. I want you to go to the sand at your house."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
When Su Min'an came to the sandy field, Li Zheng was hunched over and checking the sweet potato seedlings in the field one by one.
"Uncle Li Zheng, what do you want from me?"
"Min'an," Li Zheng stood up and patted the soil on his hands, "the sweet potatoes are growing very well. I think there will be no problem in harvesting a good harvest."
Li Zheng said with some excitement.
Su Minan is also very happy to see a bumper harvest from the sweet potatoes he planted himself.
"Uncle Li Zheng, in half a month, when the sweet potato seedlings are in full bloom, you will have to turn over the seedlings and sprinkle some plant ash water on the ground. The sweet potatoes will grow better."
"Okay, remember to tell your uncle when you want to turn over the rice seedlings. As for the plant ash, I have already told the villagers that the unwanted plant ash should be piled here on the sand."
A compost pile was set up on the edge of the sand, specially used to pile up plant ashes.
"Min'an, my uncle called you here to ask you, do you know about the recent recruitment of workers at the county dock?"
Su Min'an nodded: "I heard from Nannan that there are quite a lot of people applying, and the queue at the city gate is full."
"Min'an, I don't know why. When I heard about this, I always felt uneasy. With such a high salary, I always think of an incident that happened more than 20 years ago."
Su Minan was puzzled as to why Li Zheng said this about a simple job recruitment matter.
Satsuma sighed and talked about his concerns.
"This situation also happened in Chizhou County more than 20 years ago. Someone was recruiting workers, but they were recruiting workers at a high price, and many people came to apply.
At that time, I was still thinking about studying to get a reputation, so I didn't go, but my cousin went and was selected.
The family was originally happy, but no one wanted to leave and never came back. "
