as predicted.
Chen Sanlin was in a bad mood the whole afternoon. Xu Wenyan had to help Chen Xingjie and had no time to talk to him.
Before leaving, Xu Wenyan assigned a task to a few people, which was to repair the road leading to the water pond a little bit so that the carriage could go through the mountain road. Although it might go a little slower, it could carry a lot more things.
To reach the water pool from here, one needs to climb over two mountains. Before, Xu Wenyan and his friends took the small path, which was steep but took much less time.
Taking the main road is relatively smoother, but it takes a long time, and the problem is that the road on the other side of the pond has not been repaired yet. No one has walked on this road for a long time, and it is now quite deserted.
Xu Wenyan walked in and sat down. Wang Dongmei was sewing clothes for the children. As expected, no matter how bad-tempered a woman is, she can sew clothes in the countryside.
"Brother Wen Yan, now that you are here, come and take a look. Is a dress of this size suitable for you?" Wang Dongmei was holding a half-finished dress in her hand. The fabric was given to her by Wang Zeren.
Although there is not much, it is enough to make clothes for the children.
"It should be about the same. I've never taken care of such a young child. Anyway, it will be better if it's a little bigger." Xu Wenyan sat down next to Wang Dongmei and looked at the rough paper on the table.
On it are some vacant lots, wastelands, houses and the like. This paper was issued by the county magistrate, saying that it was necessary to clearly register the people and the land.
Chen Xingjie wanted to take this opportunity to allocate more land to the village, even if it was wasteland.
Whatever you report at this time is what it is. It doesn't matter as long as the increase is not too excessive. Because Chen Xingjie only knows a limited number of words, he asked Xu Wenyan to come and help.
This is the second time Xu Wenyan has picked up a brush in more than ten years. When he was in elementary school, he was asked to practice calligraphy, but this was stopped when he entered middle school.
Tapping his forehead lightly with the tip of the pen, Xu Wenyan was wondering how much open space he would need. It wouldn't be too difficult to open up some land, and he wouldn't be able to set up a stall to sell noodles every day in the future.
You have to have an entire workshop or factory or something like that to sell things that can form an industrial chain. Labor was the cheapest in ancient times.
For example, transporting goods to a granary would earn at most fifteen to twenty cents a day, which was already the highest wage. The normal wage was around seven cents.
The work in the granary is all heavy work and can only be done by young and strong men. There is no guarantee that there will be high-paying work every day, so it all depends on stealing or using connections.
Xu Wenyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He already knew what he should sell better. He started to write with an idea. He added two more acres of land to his own family, Xiaohu's family, and Zhou Jianye's family.
All other households in the village added one more acre of land. As for the village chief's land, Chen Xingjie had to weigh it himself. Xu Wenyan was writing when Chen Xingjie came in from outside, looking a little dejected.
He saw Xu Wenyan forced a smile: "Brother Xu, you are here."
Looking up at Chen Xingjie, Xu Wenyan jokingly said, "What's wrong? Brother Xingjie, what are you doing with such a droopy face?"
"Alas, I originally went to deal with the accumulated matters in the village. It was easy to handle when Wang Zeren and the others were here, but now that they are gone, many residents are refusing to cooperate with me." Chen Xingjie frowned, obviously distressed for a long time.
After all, he was only about 1.65 meters tall, not even as tall as Wang Dongmei, and he looked delicate. Just standing there alone, he really had no prestige.
Xu Wenyan stood up and patted Chen Xingjie on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Brother Xingjie, I will go with you tomorrow. If anyone disrespects you again, I will beat him to death."
Handing the booklet in his hand to Chen Xingjie, Xu Wenyan added: "You are the village chief now. You must show the courage of the village chief. Think about how the old man handled things in the past. I'm leaving first."
When Xu Wenyan returned home, he remembered that he had promised Jia Anqing to make mosquito repellent sachets for him, so he took out the mint leaves, pine needles and mugwort that he had dried earlier.
Then start making the small sachet with linen. A sachet does not require much cloth, you just need to cut the required pattern and sew it.
Since Jia Anqing's store is quite big, Xu Wenyan made a few more, trying to hang one in every guest room. After all, he helps feed Xiaohong every day.
Just as they finished making the sachets, Chen Sanlin and the others returned.
Xu Wenyan had prepared the meal early: "How about the road leading to the pond?"
Xiaohu gulped down a bowl of water and said, "Brother Xu, it's OK, but we walked a little far, and without Xiaohong, we can't come back at night.
After listening to what Xiaohu, Xiaoman and the others said, I realized that the road was mostly covered with weeds, so there would be no problem if I walked on it a few more times.
A lot of small trees and stones on the road have been cleared. At the current speed, it will take at least ten days or half a month to clear the road.
Then find a time to contact Zhou Jianye and start construction on both sides of the road at the same time.
As for this matter, we can put it aside for now. The most important thing now is to plant potatoes on the land at home. Since Xu Wenyan has decided to do the potato flour business, we must make preparations as soon as possible.
After dinner, Xu Wenyan peeled the sweet potatoes. The specific production method is actually similar to the steps of tapioca flour. Now all he needs to do is wait for it to settle for a day.
After returning to the room, Chen Sanlin pushed Xu onto the bed as soon as he lay down, his face full of unhappiness.
Xu Wenyan asked with a little guilty conscience: "Brother Chen, calm down."
The air suddenly became quiet. Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan from above, with jealousy and anger in his eyes.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Xu Wenyan turned his head to the side, looking a little embarrassed.
Chen Sanlin straightened his head, and their faces got closer and closer. Chen Sanlin stared into Xu Wenyan's eyes and asked, "Wife, who do you like, me or that guy named Wang?
"It has to be you. You've followed me for so long. Even if you haven't made any contributions, you've worked hard, right?" Xu Wenyan took his arm around Chen Sanlin's neck. He had to behave well at this time.
The man's ears turned red instantly, and then his kisses fell one after another like a chick pecking at rice.
Feeling the warm breath, the two of them gradually got into the mood.
Everything was normal until Xu Wenyan smelled the lard. His heart immediately rose to his throat: "No, Chen... Brother Chen, damn it, which grandson taught you that?"
Xu Wenyan said he was really panicked. He had been faking it before, but how come this guy suddenly got the hang of it this time? If Xu Wenyan knew who taught him this, he would definitely kill him to silence him.
Wouldn't it be better to let Chen Sanlin remain simple forever?
Chen Sanlin couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Wife, after tonight, I won't feel so insecure anymore."
Feeling that the situation was irreversible, Xu Wenyan simply accepted it, hoping that the process would not be too long.
The two people awkwardly tested each other until their sweat soaked the sheets.
The moon was high in the sky outside the window and the night was already deep.
