Chapter 1207 Several Bachelors
Wu Lazi also wants to follow.
After doing these things so many times, she couldn't help but say, "Sometimes I feel like you really are an official, not someone working for the escort agency. Whenever you arrive at a place, you like to go to the village, look at the crops in the village, and see how the people are doing. But isn't this what a county magistrate should do? You've done all the work of a county magistrate!"
Zhou Guo explained: "Although I am not the county magistrate, the quality of the harvest of the people's fields directly affects our harvest. If they have a good harvest, our harvest will be good. We have to rely on them for food. Your idea is wrong and you have to change it."
Wu Lazi felt that what Zhou Guo said was a bit far-fetched. Even so, there was no need to go to the village every time you went to a place. He especially liked to go to the mountains, and no one knew what his hobbies were.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Guo said, "You will understand after you experience the autumn harvest. I will open your eyes in two months."
Wujiang has already prepared granaries in various places, and large grain storage areas have also been prepared. They are just waiting for the grain to be ripe so that they can be loaded into the warehouses.
The terrain here is flat and the soil is fertile. At a glance, there is no mountain at all, just land covered with green wheat and some scattered rice.
Zhou Guo squatted in the field and looked at the rice seedlings, which were strong and green. "Good seedlings!"
Some of these seeds came from the north, and some were taken from the granaries of large households. She looked carefully and visited many plots of land and found that there were still differences in the seedlings, but these differences did not necessarily come from the seeds.
Every piece of land is different from every other piece of land, and the crops grown from the same batch of seeds will be different.
There are many people busy in the fields at this moment, weeding and catching insects. The whole family is working in the fields, as if they are serving their own eyes.
Looking at Zhou Guo and his men warily, an old man who was brave enough asked, "Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Old man, we are the fertilizer farmers. We came to see how the crops in the fields are doing and whether the fertilizer is working well after use!"
The old man suddenly realized and smiled, "So you are Fatty, no wonder you are dressed so well and come to the fields, where there is mud everywhere.
Let me tell you, although the seeds haven’t yet sprouted, I’ve been planting for so many years, and this year’s seedlings are growing the best. Even though the weather is still a little dry and there isn’t much rain, you see, these seedlings are growing so well, better than in previous years!”
The old man was very happy. Last year, only a few seeds were harvested from the fields, and the whole family had been hungry for so long. This year, he finally met a good official who gave them so much grain. So far this year, the growth has been good, and by the time of autumn harvest, even if it doesn't rain much, they won't starve anymore.
Being able to eat enough is a farmer’s greatest wish in his life.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Yes, I saw it too. This year everyone will definitely have a good harvest. How many people are there in your family? Has your grandson found a wife?"
The old man held up three fingers and said, "I have two sons and three grandsons. My two sons and the eldest and second grandsons have all gone to the army, leaving only the youngest grandson. The youngest grandson is twenty years old this year and has already promised to marry a new daughter-in-law. After the autumn harvest, the new daughter-in-law will marry into the family."
Even though his two sons and two grandsons had gone to the military camp and their lives or deaths were unknown, the old man still had a smile on his face, full of hope.
No matter where you are, the birth of a new baby is a happy thing.
Zhou Guo said: "You are so lucky, you will have a great-grandson next year, and your life will be even more prosperous."
The old man thought so and sighed, "That's right. It was not easy for me to marry my new daughter-in-law. My little grandson is already 20 years old. We originally thought that we could only call her a widow, but we didn't expect that the girl in the family has also been staying at home for a long time. She is already 19 years old this year and has not been released.
I heard that the ten-odd mu of land that was forcibly taken away from my family in previous years has been returned, and my family now has more than twenty mu of land. Hehe, with these lands, my family will no longer be hungry. After asking each other about it, both parties were very satisfied, so the marriage was concluded. "
I'm really happy for my grandson.
In the past years, the family only had two or three acres of land, and they were so poor that even mice wouldn’t come to visit. Now that the land is back, it’s easier for children to get married.
Wu Lazi interjected, "Your family has so much land, how can your grandson worry about not having a wife? Why do you have to mention someone so old?"
The family has land and food. In the countryside, this condition makes them considered wealthy. Isn't it difficult for a wealthy family to find a wife?
The old man said, "You don't know, after the young master of the Xu family took charge of our affairs, not only did we get our land back, but many other families also got their land back. Everyone's life is pretty much the same. Although we have a lot of land, other people also have a lot of land. Every young girl likes to be coquettish.
In recent years, there are few girls of marriageable age. Apart from this girl, my grandson can't find a suitable person. He is too young to look down on him. "
"And this girl is pretty good, capable, able to endure hardships, filial, able to handle everything at home and outside, and especially good at dealing with people. If she weren't old, my grandson wouldn't be able to say anything about her."
Or maybe their family got the upper hand, being able to marry such a good daughter-in-law.
Zhou Guo smiled, "They are only nineteen or twenty years old, how can they be considered old? To you, they are all children. As long as you and your wife can live happily in harmony, nothing else matters."
What's so big about it? If that's the case, there are quite a few old bachelors in their family. Won't they all be widows in the future?
Dashu and Xiaoshu also thought of the young masters at home, even Zhou Dacang. None of them had wives, especially Zhou Dacang. It seemed like several years had passed since he turned 20. In a few more years, he would be 30...
Wu Lazi didn't know, and couldn't help but retort: "Nineteen or twenty isn't old? In our village... in the mountains, children this old can run around everywhere, and they already have several. In a few years, the children can get married, so isn't that old?"
Zhou Guo: “…”
A few people in Dashu: "..."
Other villagers around couldn't help but echoed, "She's quite old now. It's hard for her to have children. She'll be a grandmother in a few years."
Zhou Guo was speechless. A grandmother in her twenties?
She didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she changed the subject and asked the loudest one, "Auntie, where is your land? Is the crop this year good?"
……
She wandered around the villages for many days.
Fortunately, there are no mountains here, so she can visit dozens of villages in a day. In less than ten days, she will have visited all the villages in the county.
Wu Lazi was most touched. "People say that if you live by the mountains, you can eat from the mountains; if you live by the water, you can eat from the water. I think this kind of land is actually better. People don't have to go up and down the mountains. They can live longer, and their life expectancy is longer than that of people in the mountains."
