    The Yan family¡¯s carriage went straight to the outside of the county town and did not stay too long in the city.

    The county town is not big, nor is it very wealthy. During this period of time, under the leadership of Yan Wenkai, Daohua has visited the county town all over, so the journey was quite orderly.

    But as soon as she left the city gate, Daohua couldn't wait to lift the car curtain and looked at the scenery outside happily.

    It is now the end of October, and the weather is already very cold. As soon as the curtain is opened, the cold wind blows into the carriage.

    Mrs. Li was worried that Mrs. Yan and Daohua would catch the cold, so she immediately said: "Daohua, put down the car curtain and be careful to catch the cold."

    Daohua was a little unfinished, but she still lowered the car curtain obediently. In ancient times, getting sick was not like today, and you could just take a few cold medicines and be cured.

    But sitting in the carriage without looking at the scenery outside was very boring, so Daohua could only find something to say to pass the time.

    "Mom, will it snow in Linyi County?"

    Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "It's raining. In previous years, it will start to snow lightly as soon as November enters. In December, there will be heavy snow."

    Hearing this, Daohua became happy again: "Great, I haven't seen heavy snow yet. If the snow is heavy, we can have a snowball fight with Third Brother and Fourth Brother."

    Yanjiacun is located in the south. It snows in winter and it melts as soon as it hits the ground.  She has been in ancient times for so long, and she has never pushed a snowman.

    Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I hope there won't be heavy snow this year."

    Daohua was stunned and found that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan both had serious expressions on their faces.

    Mrs. Yan sighed: "If there is heavy snow, the life of the people will be even more miserable. The cold winter will be difficult to endure, and those homeless refugees will die in countless numbers."

    At this moment, the rice blossoms were silent. She had just been thinking about playing, forgetting that this was ancient times and not modern times. People's heating methods were still very simple and backward. In winter, many people would freeze to death if there was a heavy snowstorm.

    "Mom, did father tell me how the refugee resettlement is going?"

    Mrs. Li shook her head: "Refugee resettlement is not an easy task. In addition, it is winter again, so resettlement is even more difficult."

    Seeing Daohua¡¯s frown, Mrs. Yan smiled and said, ¡°Well, it¡¯s not your little kid¡¯s turn to worry about these things. Your father will take care of them.¡±

    Daohua nodded and didn¡¯t ask any more questions, but her excitement about going out for a walk was gone, especially when she saw the thinly dressed refugees walking towards the county town on foot outside the carriage.

    "With so many refugees flocking to the county town, can my father be able to resettle them?"

    Mrs. Li: "Linyi County is pretty good. It's relatively remote and many refugees can't get here."

    Looking at the refugees shivering in the cold wind, Daohua sighed: "It's not easy to live."

    As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Yan slapped Daohua on the forehead: "You are so young, but you are sighing. If the sky falls, there are adults to support you. You, a little kid, can do whatever you are supposed to do."

    Daohua squeezed to Mrs. Yan¡¯s side, held her arm, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

    Thinking about it now, her reincarnation in this life was really good. At least, her father was an official and she had a certain social status.

    If she were reincarnated as a commoner at the bottom, even if she had space, her life would not be comfortable.

    Does she know that in ancient times, if you don't have enough status, you may not be able to keep your money even if you make money.

    The carriage swayed for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the field Mrs. Li had purchased.

    "Is this a Zhuangzi?"

    After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Yan saw the second person entering the yard in front of her and asked immediately.

    Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Mom, you really have good eyesight. This is indeed a Zhuangzi."

    Mrs. Yan: "How big is the land?"

    Mrs. Li: "It looks like five hundred acres."

    Hearing this, Mrs. Yan patted Mrs. Li¡¯s hand: ¡°Did you use your dowry again?¡±

    She knew very well how much salary the eldest son had. It would be difficult to support a large family. Where would she have the spare money to buy Zhuangzi?

    Needless to say, this Zhuangzi must have been bought by Mrs. Li with her dowry.

    Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Let's just leave the money alone. It's better to use it to buy some family property. My daughter-in-law also has selfish motives for doing this. Seeing that Wen Xiu and Wen Kai are getting older and older, if they plan to marry in the future, the betrothal gift will be huge.  The rice flowers are getting bigger every year, so it¡¯s time to prepare the dowry.¡±

    At this time, Yan Zhiqiang came over with Yan Wentao.

    ? ?Mrs. ?? smiled again and said to the two father and son: "I have long heard that my third brother is very good at farm work. Every year our family harvests much more food than other families. This time I have the shamelessness to let your family leave their hometown and come here.  I also want to ask my third brother to help take care of this village so that the family can have more income."

    Yan Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment: "Sister-in-law, are you saying that this Zhuangzi will be under my control?"

    Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "Please third brother, please pay more attention."

    Yan Zhiqiang was a little hesitant. He was really good at farming. He was also taking care of the two hundred acres of land in his hometown. But the problem was that he was the only one in his hometown and he had to take care of it. But he was not the only one here.

    Mrs. Li: "What, third brother, do you have any problems? If you have any problems, just tell us and we can solve them together."

    Yan Zhiqiang looked at Mrs. Yan and saw that she seemed to be indifferent, so he had to say: "Sister-in-law, I'm in charge of Zhuangzi, what is the second brother doing?" He knew that the second brother was the most competitive person.  If he knew that he had taken away his job as soon as he arrived, there would definitely be conflicts in the future.

    Hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "That's what you were worried about. Don't worry, the second brother can't control Zhuangzi." Seeing that both Mrs. Yan and Yan Zhiqiang looked surprised, she added.

    "Second uncle has never been to the fields since he stayed with the master. I think he is already unfamiliar with farming."

    Mrs. Yan frowned: "The second brother has been following you all these years, so what did he do?"

    Mrs. Li¡¯s smile remained unchanged: ¡°I went out to socialize with friends, get some news and so on.¡±

    Mrs. Yan didn¡¯t ask any more questions, but her expression wasn¡¯t very good.

    The eldest daughter-in-law said it politely, but she knew the second son's virtue, which meant that he had followed the eldest son all these years and did nothing serious.

    The adults were chatting, while Yan Wentao took Daohua around Zhuangzi.

    Looking at the emaciated appearance of the tenants on Zhuangzi, Daohua, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly lost interest.

    Seeing her like this, Yan Wentao smiled and said: "It's okay, aren't we here? With the grain you cultivated, they will be able to have enough to eat and clothing next year."

    Daohua: ¡°But there are still many people who don¡¯t have enough to eat and don¡¯t have enough clothes to wear.¡±

    Yan Wentao was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the time when they were pretending to be refugees. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay. My uncle is the county magistrate. After the grain in Zhuangzi is harvested, let him promote our grain seeds throughout the county."  That would be fine if not.¡±

    Hearing this, Daohua's eyes lit up: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? Third brother, you are so smart."

    Yan Wentao puffed up his chest after being praised.

    Daohua: "But my father's official position is still too low. It would be better if it were higher."

    Yan Wentao didn't even think about it: "Then let the uncle work hard to get promoted."

    Daohua glanced at him and thought to herself, her father had been the county magistrate for 9 years but could not get a promotion, which shows how difficult it is to get promoted, but she still smiled and nodded.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
