Chapter 1931

Because a lot of things have been discussed before. This time, when Zhou man comes over, first, it represents her Hui nationality; Second, he is also a person who meets Xia; The third is to sign contracts and make various arrangements.

But on the first and second day, she realized it. Under the witness of Mr. Zhuang and the invited chief, old Zhou tou and chief Xia signed a contract to ensure that Zhou man's second child will follow Xia's surname

After signing this, man Bao said to clan leader Xia, "clan leader, I want to see the two lands of Nanba and Dongling."

That's two pieces of land she can take back.

An old man asked nervously, "didn't the big lady of Nanba say to run ethnic studies for the family?"

Man Bao smiled and nodded, "yes, has the family decided to do ethnology?"

Xia clan leader's face was not very good-looking, but the elders of other nationalities nodded and smiled: "yes, the family discussed for a while, and thought that the children should read more. They have discussed to run the clan school."

Man Bao nodded approvingly, "this is the Centennial plan. I just go to see what kind of land my grandfather left for me. I still have to donate."

As soon as the elders listened, they stopped and asked the young people to show them the way. Of course, several elders with good legs and feet also went to see the excitement.

Nanba is not very far away. Man Bao rode his horse directly for the convenience of travel. They were impatient to walk slowly with people. When they asked the direction, they ran first.

The wheat in the field can be harvested, even a lot. Now the wheat in the field is yellow, and even the rice is heading. It can be harvested in two months.

Man Bao nodded when he saw it.

When Xia's people accompanied old Zhou tou and Zhou Dalang brothers to the place, man Bao and them had already stood in the field, pulled wheat and squatted at the edge of the field.

Xia people:... I don't know why. They look like them.

Man Bao got up, clapped his hands and said, "we haven't eaten roasted wheat for a long time. We'll pull some back and bake it later?"

Although he spoke to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, he looked at Xia's clan.

The old man smiled and said, "just eat, just eat. There's not much else in the countryside. There's still enough wheat."

Man Bao asked, "where is the land of Nanba?"

She took out the title deed from her arms and said with a smile, "I don't know the place written on it very well."

Xia's people showed her the way. It was her from where to where, separated by a small piece, and the dry land connected to the other side was also hers.

Man Bao looked on his toes and found that this large area of wheat had not been harvested, but there was not much wheat. Instead, there were a lot of rice and a lot of beans on the dry land.

No wonder she said that she sent this piece of land to the family to do ethnic studies. Xia clan leader was not very happy. There were many dry lands and few paddy fields. I'm afraid it was barely enough for Mr. Xia's bundle repair, and other expenses had to be made up elsewhere.

Man Bao pointed to the dry land and asked, "how is it more than what is written in the land deed, and there are fewer paddy fields."

The old man said, "in the past few years, we were in a drought, and the field couldn't even grow wheat. At that time, many people changed the field to dry land to grow beans. There hasn't been much rain in the past two years, especially last year, it was more and more dry, so..."

Man Bao understood. She remembered that there was a drought last year.

She sighed and said, "originally I wanted to collect all the rent this year and subsidize some families. Now it seems that it can't be enough."

Elders:

They never thought that she would come to see the land to collect the rent.

Man Bao sighed repeatedly and said to them, "I heard about the drought in the capital last year. Although our Lumi is not less, our harvest in the field is much less."

Last year, man Bao, who had no job field income at all, pretended that he already had a job and sighed: "the clan should have built a clan school. Last year, there was a drought. Forget it, the lease handed in by the clan leader should be used for the clan to build a clan school. If it's redundant, you can also help the orphans and widows in the village. They're afraid it's hard for them this year."

Hearing this, the young people behind the clan elders couldn't help raising their heads to look at this cousin. The clan elders were also moved. Their resentment against Zhou man dissipated a lot, but some people questioned and asked, "my cousin still lacks this rent?"

Man Bao thought with a thud in his heart that he finally came!

So she sighed again, shook her head and said to them, "how can this be a little rent? This rent is enough for several people in my family to eat for a whole year."

She sighed: "although I'm an official, I'm the most honest editor and imperial doctor. I can only get some salaries, but it's not easy in the capital. I still have a large family to support. I don't say anything about food, clothing, housing and transportation. I have a lot of entertainment every month."

"When Shangguan treats you to dinner, you can't go without gifts. If your colleagues invite you, you have to invite back. The restaurants in Beijing are cheaper than those in Shangzhou, let alone invite people to dinner. Are you kind enough to invite people to simple places?"

They shook their heads together, and when they looked at her eyes, they were a little different.

Man Bao said, "I heard that Xu Lichang has not rented the land in Dongling for more than ten years?"

The elders are embarrassed and hard to say.

Man Bao sighed again and said, "I also know that he is still in charge. Although he doesn't care about us, there are still some human feelings in the end. It's not good to make it too stiff. Otherwise, the family will be affected in the future. Although it's not good, if he cards us a document today and doesn't survey our fields tomorrow, we will suffer."

There was some indignation on the young people's faces, but the elders nodded repeatedly. Seeing their faces, they couldn't help holding man Bao's hand and sighing, "good boy, you are still sensible. You deserve to have seen the world in front of officials, and you are more promising than your cousins."

Then he turned and scolded the young people, "what are you angry about? Learn from your sister. You should know that you can do great things only if you can bend and stretch... "

Bai Shan on one side lowered his head. If he really wanted to eat soft and afraid of hard, he would just pull it down. It's not impossible. Xia is the largest family in Hongtian village. As long as there are enough people, what can't he do?

Bai Erlang looked at the old people with a surprised look, and looked at the old people holding man Bao's hand with a surprised look. He thought that the wind direction had become too fast?

Man Bao expressed his consideration and looked down at the land in Dongling. This land is worse than that in Nanba. In particular, it was dry last year. At present, most of the land is planted with beans, only seven or eight acres of wheat, not even rice.

Man Bao looked disappointed and almost said that he had donated it. When he opened his mouth, he was stared at by Lao Zhou's head. Man Bao balked and said, "it's just in previous years. Should this rent be handed in this year?"
