Chapter 416 2 groups of helpers

Mo Beihan, this kid, is very kind and grateful. Saving him is a good thing.

Qiao Ran said with a smile: "Grandpa, village chief, Xiaodong and Xiaobei still have to go to school, so they can't waste too much time. And it's almost spring planting, and my mother and I have to come back to help. Thank you for your hard work. This road has been repaired well." It’s great, the carriage is very smooth this way!”

The old village chief waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, you girl, our whole village has to thank you, what else do you want to thank us for? This road construction is what everyone should do, and these two groups of people here can be regarded as You have helped us a lot. You don’t have to worry about your spring planting. We have also agreed that we will help your family plant the seedlings first and then each plant their own. Your family is the leader of the whole village. Benefactor, we have nothing to repay you now, we can only help with whatever work we can."

Qiao Ran felt quite satisfied after hearing this.

The people of Qingshui Village are also grateful, and it is not in vain that I have helped them so much.

She smiled slightly: "Grandpa, village chief, there is no need to trouble everyone. The rice fields in my house will be planted soon."

"Girl, don't be too polite to everyone. Everyone is worried about how to repay their kindness. Now there is a chance to help a little bit. You can't refuse. You and your mother are from the general's mansion now. My lord, from now on you won’t need to do heavy work like farming, everyone will do it for you.”

"How can that be done? Grandpa, village chief, no matter what my mother's status is, we are all farmers, so naturally we have to work in the fields like everyone else. Everyone has work to do, so there is no need to come and help my family. "

"Ran Yatou, if you continue to be so polite, grandpa will be angry! Are you deliberately preventing us from repaying our kindness, and do you want us to feel guilty for the rest of our lives?"

The old village chief deliberately kept a straight face, as if "I'm very angry, you can't refuse me".

Qiao Ran had no choice but to let them do whatever they wanted.

Anyway, regardless of whether she is the cousin of the General's Mansion or not, she likes this kind of self-sufficient pastoral life, and she doesn't want to be that delicate young lady who has no fingers in the spring water.

While they were talking, two small figures rushed out of Qiao's tent.

"Eldest sister! Eldest sister! You are finally back! I miss you so much!"

"Eldest sister, is the city fun? Are there many delicious and fun things? When will eldest sister take Yue'er to play in the city?"

The two little guys, Qiao Xing and Qiao Yue, rushed out of the tent like two cannonballs and hugged Qiao Ran's thigh.

Qiao Yue raised her little face and looked at her eldest sister expectantly.

My mother said that the eldest sister, Brother Dong and Brother Bei were going to live at their grandma's house. She and Brother Xing's grandma were not the same as the eldest sister's grandma, so they couldn't go with them.

However, the elder sister and the others were not at home these days, and Brother Bei also took away his ball, which made her feel so bored.

Thinking of what her mother said about the eldest sister and their grandma's house being in the capital city, and the capital city being a big and bustling city, bigger and busier than all the county towns and prefectures they had seen along the way, she felt good Want to take a look.

In such a lively city, there must be a lot of delicious food and fun!

Seeing the longing look on the little guy's face, Qiao Ran also felt a little guilty. She had been to the city so many times, but the rest of the family had no chance to go in and see the bustling and bustling capital.

She touched the little guy's soft hair and solemnly promised: "When you have some free time after the spring planting, eldest sister will definitely take you to the city for a stroll and buy a lot of delicious and fun things!"

"Okay! Elder sister is so nice! Yue'er likes elder sister the most!"

Qiao Yue jumped up happily, clapped her hands, laughed and shouted, and Qiao Xing also grinned happily.

At this time, Mrs. Qiao, who came out of the tent with Xiao Ba Lai in her arms, quickly shouted: "Xing'er Yue'er, stop pestering your eldest sister, go and ask your mother to come back and prepare for cooking."

Qiao Xing Qiao Yue ran away obediently and ran towards the crowd building the road.

"Grandma, we are back!"

Seeing her grandma, Qiao Ran stepped forward and hugged the old lady's arm affectionately, and then she took Xiaoba over and kissed his chubby little face: "Xiaoba, I haven't seen you for a few days. Didn’t you miss your eldest sister?”

Xiaoba, who was wearing a spring shirt and thin jacket, kicked his chubby legs, grinned happily, and said "Ah! Ah! Ah!" as if in response.

"Xiaoba, why do I feel that you are heavier again?"

Qiao Ran stretched out a hand and pinched Xiaoba's chubby face. The elastic feeling made her want to squeeze it even more.

However, grandma said that children’s faces should not be pinched frequently as it will burst the saliva bubbles and cause frequent drooling in the future.

After the carriage stopped, the guards and servants of the General's Mansion moved down the things piled high on the carriage.

Mrs. Qiao felt a little sorry: "Hui Niang, this time you went to your parents' house, our family didn't prepare any decent gifts, and you brought so many back. Alas, our Qiao family is really ashamed of the General's Mansion!" "

Zheng Huiniang quickly comforted: "Mom, don't think like that. You also know the life I lived in the Chen family. If I hadn't married into the Qiao family, I might not have known who they would have sold me to as their concubine. You My brothers-in-law and my three younger siblings have always taken good care of me, and I remember that you have done nothing wrong to the General’s Mansion. My mother said that it is the General’s Mansion that wants to thank you!”

After hearing this, the old lady felt a little better, but she still felt that the Qiao family, a peasant family, was not worthy of the palace of a noble in the capital.

Qiao Ran knew what the old lady was thinking, so she quickly changed the subject and asked about the situation here these days.

Mrs. Qiao had a smile on her face and said: "A few days ago, two groups of people came, saying they were from the General's Palace and Dingbei Prince's Palace. They said they would come to help our village build roads and houses. People from our village We originally planned to repair the road first, but now that a helper came, we all worked together and soon the road out of the mountain was repaired. Now we are building the road leading to Devil's Valley, which will be repaired in two days. "

"Over there, part of the foundation has been laid for building the house. Your second uncle and others are leading people to dig a pond. They said that the rainy season is coming soon. If we don't dig the fish pond quickly, it will be difficult to dig when the rainy season comes and there will be water in the pit. Yes. I heard from your second and third uncles last night that one fish pond has been dug, and the other one will probably be dug in a few days."

Qiao Ran was speechless: "So fast? How many helpers have come?"

Mrs. Qiao said: "There are more than two hundred people! Including the craftsmen and helpers you hired, plus the people from our village, do you think it will be faster when so many people work together? And the helpers are coming. Following their master's orders, in order not to trouble us, they all brought their own dry food. However, our village cannot treat them badly, so we make some broth, bone soup, and meat porridge for them to drink every day."
