Chapter 1581: Do you have to say?
Chapter 1581 Do you have to say it?
Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan entered Shitou Village, they saw the people in Shitou Village drying the rice. The rice was actually quite dry, but it was still drying.
Just as Tao Zhen came out of his eldest brother's house, he saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan at a glance, and immediately came over and cupped his hands: "Mr. Xue, Mrs. Jiang."
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also bowed their hands and returned the salute.
"I thought the two of you ended up here. Even if you go home, you'll be able to come back to the village soon. I didn't expect you to see you two months after you returned home." Tao Zhen laughed.
At the end of , he added another sentence: "Today's July 19th."
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. This Tao Zhen is really smart, no matter if he sees it or not, he doesn't ask anything, and he can even tell them directly what they want to know.
"It's really thanks to the late rice seeds you gave me. Look how good the rice in our field is." Tao Zhen pointed to the distance again.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both followed Tao Zhen's finger and glanced at the field in the distance. Then Jiang Yue asked, "How is your early rice harvest? Is it enough to pay the tax?"
Tao Zhen shook his head and said, "The early rice harvest is the same as before. It's not very good, and it's not enough to pay taxes." Then he laughed again, "Fortunately, by selling vegetables in the past few months, everyone in the village has made some money. A little money from selling vegetables is enough. The remaining money is enough for us to live. It is much better than before. Moreover, the late rice is growing so well now, and the harvest should be good at that time. Our life It's not a problem anyway."
Jiang Yue nodded.
Xue Yan also nodded.
"Then you have harvested this early rice, when will you pay the tax?" Jiang Yue asked.
Tao Zhen: "If the rice is not dry enough, the government will not accept it. Therefore, the government has stipulated that at the end of July, that is, in the 29th or 30th year, the rice must have been dried by us, and the government will collect it. Our village pays the tax for early rice on these two days every year, and other villages also start from the end of this month, but the specific date varies from village to village. According to the county government, it is afraid that all villages will pay tax in one place. , the people in charge of tax collection in the county government are too busy."
Jiang Yue then said: "You don't keep the seeds of early rice, I and I will give you early rice seeds to plant next year."
Tao Zhen also felt that there was a problem with the seeds in their village. Like other villages, some villages had much better harvests than Shitou Village. I saw Tao Zhen was busy and solemnly surrendered, and was extremely moved: "Thank you so much. ."
After a pause, he couldn't help but say again: "I know you don't want us to repay anything, but if there is anything that needs my help, Tao Zhen, or even anyone from Shitou Village, please be sure to tell me."
"Okay." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded. Knowing what they said, whether it was Tao Zhen or other people in Shitou Village, they would feel a little bit better in their hearts.
Otherwise, you will feel more embarrassed.
After talking again, Tao Zhen went home, and Jiang Yue and Xue Yan continued to walk forward. Every time they encountered a villager, they greeted them and came up to say a few words.
All the way to the door of Zhang Dazhu's house, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou have already dried the early rice on the rice field, and are now feeding the horses behind the house.
The chatter and laughter of the father and son came to the front, and Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew where Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou were without asking anyone.
"Father, look at how strong this horse is, Young Master Xue and Madam Jiang must have spent a lot of money to buy it." Zhang Shoushou said happily to his father while filling the manger with water.
