Chapter 539 Why Argue With Them
The Huang family's sharp eyes recognized that it was Xia Wanniang: "Mother, it's Madam Xiao who rented our house in the past."
When Grandma Huang and the surrounding people heard this, they hurried over. When Xia Wanniang and her family lived in the village, they would always give them some delicious food.
Auntie Xiao saw that Grandma Huang and the others looked very healthy and said, "Old sister, are you feeling well?"
"Okay, okay." Grandma Huang held her hand and said, "Why are you here? Come in and sit down at my house."
"No, we just came by to see you." Aunt Xiao and the others didn't want to disturb them, they just wanted to see how the spring plowing was going.
Granny Huang saw the two children she was holding behind her and asked: "Are these the children of Wanniang?"
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, two granddaughters."
Grandma Huang and the others' expressions changed slightly, but in the end they still said, "It would be good if the next pregnancy is a son."
Aunt Xiao smiled faintly: "I already have three boys, and I am looking forward to having these two granddaughters."
"Okay, okay." Grandma Huang and the others didn't say anything else.
Xia Wanniang didn't care what she said. In their opinion, sons are the ones who carry on the family line, while daughters are raised by others.
Why should she argue with them? She took the children to the edge of the field and looked at the fields that were being cultivated. Now every household in the village had cows.
It’s just that these cows are not buffaloes but yaks. However, they are very efficient at work.
She learned that the rice seeds they used to grow seedlings were all bought from the North City Farm Equipment Store. They heard that it was a high-yield rice, so people from the whole village went to buy it.
What the villagers said most was that they were grateful to the Emperor and Princess Zhenguo for letting them live in blue brick and tile houses, having cows, and giving them a purpose in life.
Xia Wanniang asked Grandma Zhang: "Grandma, do you want to send your child to school?"
Granny Zhang was silent for a moment and then said, "Sanlang's wife, there are very few educated people in our northwest. Others think this place is poor and are unwilling to come."
Xia Wanniang was listening to them on the side. They said that the plow cart was very useful and the water wheel was also convenient, and they didn't have to worry about irrigation problems anymore.
Grandpa Wang also smiled and said: "I don't know if this fertilizer is good or not, anyway I asked the people at the farm tool store and bought it for use."
Xia Wanniang looked at him with amusement: "You bought them just to use them."
Grandpa Wang waved his hands and said, "That's right." He then said mysteriously to Xia Wanniang, "I heard that all the farm tool stores in the northwest belong to the Princess Zhenguo. I believe her."
Xia Wanniang's face was full of smiles: "When you harvest in autumn, can I come and join in the fun?"
"Sure! We all welcome you." Grandpa Wang smiled heartily.
Xia Wanniang went to see the place where the waterwheel was installed. There was no water being diverted now, but the waterwheel was still running smoothly, so there should be no problem when it comes to irrigation.
They said goodbye to Grandma Huang and the others and headed towards the next village.
The situation in every village is the same now. After the centralized relocation, they all built villages near towns.
Their lives and homes have been improved, and their faces are filled with joy and anticipation.
Three years of tax exemption means that the people who come to settle in the northwest have no pressure at all.
Xia Wanniang asked a few children to ask about their living conditions, what they lacked, and what inconveniences they found.
The children recorded everything they saw and heard along the way, and kept in mind everyone's life needs.
Xiao Zimu: "Mom, some villages haven't dug wells yet, so they have to go to the river for water, which is not very convenient."
Xiao Zilin: "They said there are too few vegetables in the city. Now I went to the farm equipment store to buy seeds, but I don't know if they can be grown."
Xia Wanniang listened carefully: "It takes a process."
When they arrived at Xiaobei City, it was still bustling. The tavern opened by Xiong San was now run by several Hu women, and business was very good.
In addition to good wine, you can also see singing and dancing and eat skewers.
Xiao Zisen pointed to the tavern and said, "Mom, is this Uncle Qiu's property?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Although your Uncle Qiu is not very serious, he does a lot of things."
Qiu He gave most of the money he earned to Xia Wanniang, and used a small portion to support his family. He also had a lot of people under him.
Beggars, peddlers, traveling doctors...
Xia Wanniang sometimes admired his brain, as he had thought of many things that she couldn't remember.
