259 Fields
s
Qiao Xuan had bought five mu of fields. She still needed to build a yard and plant some stuff. Since Ding Erzhu and his family were here, a simple house could be built first for them to settle down.
Qiao Xuan needed to make a good plan about how to build the yard.
They could have three wooden rooms built for his family.
Before winter arrived, she was going to have a large house in the huge yard built for Ding Erzhu and his family, who should be used to the work by that time.
Everyone was eating at the Zhang Village. Zhang Xiaofeng and Zhang Chunlai came to greet them happily upon hearing the news.
It was always Shao Yunduan who dealt with guests.
In this era, women were always looked down upon and could not keep control of the situation. For another, Shao Yunduan was the Cultivated Talent who would subconsciously attract some respect from outsiders. Thirdly, since Shao Yunduan usually had no expression on his face, he looked very intimidating.
Shao Yunduan glanced at the couple and greeted them, introducing them to Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou. “This is my uncle and aunt-in-law, and they will be living here from today on. They would be in charge of the business here. You know this place well, so please take good care of them.”
Upon hearing the words, the faces of Zhang Chunlai and the other three people changed, especially the two women, who could not conceal their expressions.
“Okay, okay, don’t worry, boss!”
“Yes, yes we will definitely, definitely take good care of them!”
When Zhang Xiaofeng and Zhang Chunlai were asked to temporarily watch over the renters, the couple, and everyone in their family, was really pleased. They were also tenants, but the tenants in charge were different from other renters.
Ordinary renters always sucked up to the ones in charge.
They even tried to have competition among themselves, trying to find a winner.
But they soon realized that they did not have to have competition between themselves any more, because the boss’s relatives had appeared in front of them, and they themselves had fallen into the stage of ordinary tenants.
They had no way to compete with them.
They could just offer some help to this new uncle, who barely had any idea about the situation here. If he could say some good words in front of the boss, then it would be great!
As they thought about this, they felt slightly better.
Shao Yunduan asked the couple to eat lunch at the Land Officer’s family together.
The couple nodded and agreed. Their wives were not supposed to eat along with them, so they said hello and left.
After lunch, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan took Ding Erzhu, under the guidance of Zhang Chunlai, for the trip to the field, showing the rice cultivation.
Crops were farmers’ life, and everything related to grain was critical for the tenants throughout the whole year, so everyone took good care of the crops and the land.
Qiao Xuan had used her superpower to make the crops grow secretly.
Though there was no big difference, the rice would definitely grow stronger, better and not bug-ridden.
Those long, soft leaves were dangling, looking really beautiful and radiant, so lively that Qiao Xuan felt very satisfied.
Soon, Qiao Xuan bid farewell to Zhang Chunlai and his partner.
As she was talking, the two of them nodded whilst glancing at Shao Yunduan.
Qiao Xuan could not help but laugh.
In other people’s eyes, Shao Yunduan was the real boss, whilst she was just the boss’s wife.
