After dinner, the boys will go back to the academy in a short while, and they are all a little reluctant to leave.

Especially Brother Mao hugged the fat sister, his face flushed with exhaustion, and he didn't let go.

It was Mrs. Li who spoke and said: "Go to study when you should. We will be staying for ten and a half months this time, so I'm not afraid that we won't see you.

"Besides, the family is very busy. Hurry up and make arrangements for the opening of the cafeteria. You will eat in the cafeteria at noon in the future, and you will have two hours of free time in the evening. Don't talk about playing at home for a while, just sleeping is enough."

"Really? That's great, you can play enough football!" Brother Mao was immediately happy, put his sister down and ran away.

The academy has already rang the bell, and if you don't arrive, you will be punished with a ruler.

The rest of the boys did the same, waved to grandma one after another, and then went after Brother Mao.

Jiaren was more prudent, and stayed behind, calling his brothers to watch the road from time to time and not to hit anyone.

Jiayin stood in the middle of the ground, blinked her big eyes twice, and was still a little dazed, but yawned a lot when she wanted to speak.

Just now I was full, my brother dozed off with his arms in his arms, and was in a daze, why was he suddenly left behind...

Mrs. Li was amused by her granddaughter, and quickly carried her back to the house to take a nap.

After her granddaughter fell asleep, Mrs. Li told Shui Ling to keep watch, and then she took Mammy He and called Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu to go to the vegetable field.

Tao Hongying had nothing to do, so she followed Zhao Yuru to the academy cafeteria.

Of course, Dazhu and his wife and Sun Ersao also followed.

The [-] mu of land that Li Laosan bought is just to the west of the town, and he happened to pass by when he came from Kyoto.

It can be said that the location is quite good, and the fields were well looked after and very fertile.

There is a small village next to the field, with more than 30 households. Looking at the houses from a distance, most of them are thatched adobe, and they are not particularly rich.

The two handy vegetable growers hired by Li Laosan before were villagers here.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful, helped his old lady and said, "Mother, I didn't think carefully about buying the land at the time, and the neighbors here are not good."

Mrs. Li patted her son and said with a smile: "It's the same everywhere, there are good people and there are bad people. And if you say you are a bad person, it's just laziness and taking advantage of it, not a big villain.

"Don't be discouraged. Since the matter has already happened, let's find a way to solve it. It's useless to complain about yourself."

Li Laosan felt more and more guilty when he heard it. It is really unfilial to ask his mother to persuade and bother him even though he is old.

Mrs. Li called Madam He, took some melon seeds and peanuts in the car, and then led her son to the entrance of the village.

It was the afternoon, and those who were supposed to go out to work had already gone out, and there were only a few old people and children left in the village.

Mrs. Li was dressed neatly, but the material was ordinary cotton, and there was only a silver hairpin in the bun behind her head.

Li Laosan was going to go to the fields, and he was dressed in gray coarse clothes, no different from ordinary farmers.

As soon as the two girls appeared, the old women sewing under the big tree at the entrance of the village stopped and stared at them.

Mrs. Li didn't care, she came forward with a smile and said, "Old sisters, this is for sewing! My legs and feet are sore, so I can lend you a place to rest, okay?"

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, the old women hurriedly nodded their heads in greeting, and one of the oldest ones responded, "Big sister, you are welcome, you don't think our place is dirty, just sit down."

"Oh, what do you dislike? Everyone is born and bred and pretends to be a farmer!" Mrs. Li smiled and yelled at her son, "Silly boy, what are you waiting for, bring my snacks, I will share them with the old sisters eat."

Li Laosan hurried forward and held the box in his hand to his old lady.

Mrs. Li greeted the three or four naughty dolls who were playing with mud next to her. Seeing that their hands were dirty, she tore off the handkerchief and wiped them clean. Then she opened the box and shared a small handful of crispy peanuts among them.

She put the rest among the old women, "Old sisters, try it, this is my daughter-in-law's handicraft."

The old women have long put smiles on their faces, after all, whoever's child loves it.

Mrs. Li didn't dislike the dirty children of their family, not only wiped their hands for them, but also gave them food, which made them very happy, and naturally they were much more enthusiastic than before.

An old woman in a gray shirt took a few peanuts first, and said with a smile: "Then we will not be polite, old girl, your daughter-in-law is really filial, you will even bring snacks for you when you come out for a walk!"

"Yes," the companion sitting next to her echoed, "The old girl is so lucky, my daughter-in-law wishes I could die sooner and save some food for the family."

Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and those who have children are sad, and those who have no children will have no one to rely on in their old age.

"The head of our original village had no children. A few days ago, he just recognized a young couple as adopted sons and daughters. He wanted to have someone to rely on when he was old!"

"Oh, how is this similar to the village head of our village, our village head has no children!"

"It's different. The village head has no children, but his younger brother's family has five boys, and they are all very filial and capable!"

A few old women ate melon seeds and peanuts, and occasionally yelled at the children, and the chatter with Mrs. Li became more and more heated.

Li Laosan sat under a tree a few steps away. He didn't pay attention at first, but gradually he heard the taste.

After eating the melon seeds and peanuts, Mrs. Li said her mouth was dry, so she waved goodbye to the old women.

The two of them were walking on the road again, and Mrs. Li asked, "My third son, what did you hear?"

Li Laosan nodded vigorously, his expression was very excited, "Mother, you are really amazing, you want to hand over the vegetable garden to the nephews of the village chief, don't you?"

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head, "Yes, and no."

Mrs. Li was dumbfounded when he heard that, and Mrs. Li had no choice but to continue to tell her son, "The vegetables grown in the vegetable garden are for the cafeteria. If there is a little problem, it is a big deal. Therefore, we can only trust our own family members." Take charge."

"Then how do you want to appease these people? They treat our family like fat meat next to their pillows, and they can't wait to have a bite anytime!" Li Laosan worried.

Mrs. Li pointed to the field in the distance, "Of course they made the fat meat their own! There are only a few hundred people in the academy, and it is enough to allocate ten acres of land to grow vegetables, and the remaining twenty acres of land are rented out.

"The family of the village chief's younger brother is definitely the first choice, but he can only give ten acres. The other ten acres will be found in the village. The two families supervise each other to prevent the one family from dominating and the slaves bullying the master.

"In the future, there will be miscellaneous jobs on the vegetable field, and we can also find the women of the tenants' families. In this way, if our vegetable field is damaged, they will not be able to earn pocket money. Even if our family is angry and leaves, their family will not be able to work. There is no more land to plant!

"Let them know that if our family is good, they will be fine, and if our family is not good, they will be bad. From now on, we don't need to worry about our family, and they will take the initiative to help take care of the vegetable field and protect our family!"

Li Laosan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he responded happily: "Mother, this is a good idea!"
