Chapter 286 What a great day!
The old village chief was really unable to refute Qiao Ran's words.
He then moved his gaze to Qiao Erhe, who was laughing and laughing.
In fact, before Qiao Ran regained her consciousness, the old village chief's favorite candidate for village chief was Qiao Erhe.
Qiao Erhe is one of the few men in the village who can read, write, and calculate. He has a flexible mind and courage.
In the past, when he was in Qingshui Village, everyone else was at home in the winter, but he went to the city alone to work as a part-time laborer. He could earn several hundred pennies a month. Except for part of it, he paid it to the public school, and he kept the rest. Keep it, buy some snacks for the children at home to celebrate the New Year, and tie a piece of red headband for his wife.
Moreover, he is also a righteous person and is very popular in the village. Many men in the village admire him very much.
Such a brave, resourceful and hard-working person is naturally the best successor to the village chief!
Unfortunately, Qiao Ran suddenly regained her sanity and learned many skills from the old immortal, showing off her skills along the way. Qiao Erhe was eclipsed by the bright light of her eldest niece.
Now that Qiao Ran was unwilling to be the village chief, the old village chief naturally focused on the second candidate.
Qiao Erhe, who was listening to his eldest niece's words with great interest, saw the old village chief's eyes turning to him, and quickly waved his hands and said:
"Neither can I! No! My fourth brother still has to study and take the imperial examination. The third brother and I have to follow Ran Ran in doing important things and be her right-hand assistants. For the position of village chief, you should find someone else!"
joke! He, Qiao Erhe, is a man with great ambitions!
He would rather follow his eldest niece and run errands for her than the head of a village who can only take care of the trivial chores of sesame seeds and mung beans in the village.
Ran Ran is so capable, and she will definitely do something big in the future. As her second uncle, of course he will fully support her!
Ran Ran didn't want to be tied down by the position of village chief, so naturally he didn't want to either.
The old village chief was rebuffed before he even uttered his words, and his breath was stuck in his throat. He was really angry and not scolding.
That’s it! It seems that he is the only one who thinks that the position of village chief is very important, but he doesn't look down on young people who want to do big things.
Then just hold on to this old bone and take care of it for a few more years! Wait until you can no longer control it anymore.
And Ran Yatou is right. If she is asked to take care of these trivial matters in the village, she will be overqualified and underqualified.
Then he will continue to be the head of this village with a shy face for the time being, and manage the people in the village well, beat those people more, so that they will have less trouble, and listen more to Ran Yatou's arrangements, so that Ran Yatou will have less troubles. Bar!
When the old village chief was about to leave, Qiao Ran said something again: "Grandpa, village chief, don't forget, the government office will send someone to deliver relief food at noon tomorrow. At noon, we will send two people to the intersection outside the mountain. Just wait! When people arrive, run back and report the news, and we will use the cart to pull the grain in ourselves."
The old village chief nodded: "If you didn't remind me, I almost forgot. This road is indeed difficult to walk, and the people in the government office will definitely not be willing to send it in. It is better for us to bring it in ourselves. With this batch of food, At least we can be more comfortable, save some money, buy more good things, and have a good year!"
The old village chief went out happily, holding his hands behind his back. He felt that he was really going forward this day!
Qiao Ran watched the old village chief leave the tent, but she knew in her heart that according to the plan of Jia Tongpan and the people behind him, they didn't want them to have an easy time, so how could they send a lot of food?
It's probably just for show, or to get some old noodles to make up for it.
She had a lot of food in her space, but she didn't want to eat those unpalatable, rough, old rice noodles.
It seems that she will have to find a way to get some food out of the space tomorrow.
Although most of the rice and noodles I ate along the way were polished white noodles that I took out from the space, there was still a lot of rice and noodles that were scrounged from King Ping's grain shop and the grain depots of corrupt officials in Luoyang City. Come out and give some to the villagers.
In the afternoon, some of the people who had eaten were checking and strengthening their tents, some found rocks by the stream to sharpen hoes and machetes, some went hunting nearby, and some went to the woods to see if there were any edible wild vegetables. As a result, even half-grown children followed into the forest carrying small bamboo baskets.
At the end of the year, the weather was cold and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.
However, everyone had warm leather jackets, leather trousers, leather boots, leather gloves, and leather hats. They were fully armed from head to toe and kept themselves warm. They were not afraid of the cold at all, so they were all busy doing their own thing. Things went down.
Qiao Ran also told her family and went to Devil's Valley.
She had to carefully observe the terrain and carefully consider which area of such a large valley and forest was more suitable for building a house, which area was suitable for reclaiming wasteland and farming, and how much space should be left.
Only in this way can we determine where the mountain fire is and how the isolation zone should be arranged.
There are indeed a lot of rare medicinal materials in the Devil's Forest. When she went there in the morning, she had to do business, so she didn't have time to pick those medicinal materials.
Since everyone needs more than half a month or a month to dig out the isolation zone, she still has at least more than half a month before the fire starts. She can take the time to go in and pick the rare medicinal materials inside to her own space. , so as not to be burned up by a fire.
There is no road here in Devil's Valley, and the villagers don't dare to go there. They don't know where they will encounter miasma.
Therefore, Qiao Ran was not worried about others seeing her figure, and she quickly shuttled through the weeds and shrubs.
Arriving at the outskirts of Devil's Valley, Qiao Ran first went up to the nearby mountain and took a look at the terrain in the valley.
The place where the miasma is most intense is in the center of the dense forest in the valley.
Looking at the nearby woods that are not covered by the miasma and the terrain at the foot of the nearby mountains, the Devil's Valley is not in a level position.
She is currently located at the mouth of the valley here, which is the lowest.
The terrain of the entire valley slopes from the opposite side to this side, but the slope is not very large, so there is no need to turn it into terraces.
Qiao Ran thought that since the valley was so humid, in addition to the low terrain, there must be streams flowing down from the mountains.
She had to find a water source. She would need enough water for food and irrigation in the future.
It was still early, so Qiao Ran simply went up to the mountainside, intending to patrol around the valley and understand all the terrain.
The woods on the mountainside are also very dense. After all, this place is inaccessible and even the woodcutter dare not come here to cut firewood.
Qiao Ran, holding a machete in hand, dug left and right in the woods, startling countless hibernating birds and beasts.
Fortunately, it was winter, and those poisonous snakes, insects, and large beasts were hibernating in the caves, which saved a lot of trouble.
