108 Give Birth Two Fat Boys In One Go
Bao Zhaoshan refused to accept it, so Yang Quanzi decided to hand it to Yang Gongbing personally when he visited.
In addition to food and clothes for the winter, Yang Gongbing also sent two strong cows to them.
In a farming society, cattle were very precious. Even if they bought it, they had to serve it like it was their ancestor. If they wanted to eat a bowl of braised beef noodles, they had to let it die “accidentally”.
With cows to plow the land, the efficiency of the wasteland exploration would be much higher.
Everyone had always wanted to buy cows. Unfortunately, the government was too strict with the sale of cows. Every cow had been registered with the government since they were born.
Sheng Huaixuan had to queue up even if he had money and a household register. He could only buy a calf after the cow gave birth. He also was not able to choose and had to bring it back to raise carefully.
He did have a way to get cows from other places, but he was afraid that after he got them, the officials would suddenly come to investigate and ask, “Eh, where did you get this cow from?”
In order not to cause trouble for Yang Gongbing, everyone stopped thinking about secretly buying cows.
Now that Yang Gongbing had taken the initiative to give them two big cows to farm, especially Village Chief Zhao and the other professional farmers, their eyes almost shot out lasers.
Yang Quanzi touched the docile cow head and smiled. “Good cow!”
For these two big cows to appear in their village openly, Yang Gongbing must have spent a lot of effort on them.
Bao Zhaoshan said, “Master also said that if you need anything else, you must tell me.”
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and smiled. “There’s no need. Go back and tell your master that it’s my blessing to be a citizen under him.”
Bao Zhaoshan smiled and cupped his hands. “Yes, I will definitely deliver Old Master Yang’s words.”
After Yang Gongbing sent someone to deliver food, another team came to deliver food.
As the carriages could not enter, the guards had to carry the items into the mountain one by one. The team was so huge that they could see them winding up the mountain. The villagers of Lintian Village stood on the mountain peak and craned their necks, their eyes almost falling out of their sockets.
What exactly was the background of the refugees from the village opposite!!!
Not only did the new mayor protect them and send them food, but they also had a team to deliver items to them. In addition to a large amount of food, they also brought them a lot of daily expensive things.
While everyone kept guessing the identities of the villagers, they were also glad that they did not insist on following the Wang brothers to find trouble with them.
Wang Mingyue, who had brought her half-dead parents to live in the rotten shed at the corner of the village, looked at the lively mountain opposite and listened to the envious discussions of the villagers. Tears welled up in her eyes and she clenched her fists tightly.
Lan Jingbai, who had returned from borrowing food from Pingyang County, bowed to Cui Shiji. “Master, County Head Qu has humbled himself and borrowed three months’ worth of food for us.”
Cui Shiji sighed guiltily. “It’s been hard on Brother Qu. Did he say anything else?”
Lan Jingbai took out the letter and handed it over. “County Head Qu said that he’s here to settle everything. There’s no need to worry.”
“He will settle everything and there’s no need to worry!”
It was enough to have just one confidant in life!
Cui Shiji opened the letter with excitement. After reading it, his eyes welled up.
Cui Shize comforted him. “Brother, don’t worry. We’ll visit Brother Qu after we’re settled down.”
“Yeah.”
Village Chief Zhao looked at the food that was enough for them to survive the winter and sighed at Bai Wutong. “The people who interact with the Cui family are all good people who value friendship and loyalty.”
Bai Wutong nodded. “Indeed.”
As a county magistrate, he was not afraid of gossip and could put down his pride to face them. This alone showed his character. He was a friend worth making.
…
According to the design blueprint of Bai Wutong, the first batch of houses began construction when the wood was ready.
With overtime work, the first batch of houses was completed a few days earlier than Bai Wutong had expected. Rows of detached ancient-style buildings finally stood between the forest.
The distance between the detached houses and the other houses was very wide. The house also had its own front yard and backyard. Whether it was used to grow vegetables and flowers, or to raise pigs and chickens, it would not affect others.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao’s house was a standard house and was very suitable for the couple to live in with their children.
Besides Bai Wutong’s house layout, Bai Wutong also provided several options for everyone on the basis of their standard house type.
The appearance of the house was similar, but the structure was completely different.
For example, the Cui family had many servants, and they were usually used to ordering their servants around. The house design that Bai Wutong had designed for them was very large, a little like the luxurious villa. It occupied a lot less space than their previous house in Qinghe.
For a large family like Village Chief Zhao, who had to live together with three generations and might split up in the future, Bai Wutong designed a house with a connector. However, she made some adjustments to the distance so that the few families could move around at any time and not disturb each other.
As soon as Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao walked into the house that belonged to them, Bai Wutong smelled a rich fragrance of golden-silk cedar.
Chu Tianbao touched the wall and asked happily, “Wife, is this our home?”
Bai Wutong smiled. “Yes, this is our future home.”
If nothing else cropped up, they were going to spend the rest of their lives in this house.
To Bai Wutong, who had experienced the apocalypse, it was extremely blissful to be able to live peacefully.
The conditions were much better than she had expected.
Without realizing it, she took another look at Chu Tianbao, who was jumping around. Her lips curled into a deep smile. Furthermore, there was someone accompanying her now.
Bai Wutong glanced at the two rooms facing the sun. In her mind, she had already outlined how to place and decorate the furniture that Zhao Sheng had specially customized.
After the villagers were done with their work, Bai Wutong still wanted to look for them. She ordered a lounge chair from them and wanted to place it on the balcony. Then, she could take a bath in the sunlight and drink some refreshing fragrant tea. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely happy.
Chu Tianbao walked around the rooms one by one and ran to Bai Wutong. He said excitedly, “Wife, can we move in here now?”
Just as Bai Wutong was about to nod, Village Chief Zhao suddenly appeared and said anxiously, “Madam, we can’t move tonight for the time being. We have to pay respects to the Kitchen deity and set off firecrackers to celebrate. Only then can we live in harmony in the future. Let’s prepare and move in tomorrow, okay?”
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Bai Wutong nodded. “I almost forgot. Then I’ll have to trouble you to prepare.”
Village Chief Zhao agreed. “Alright! We’ll definitely satisfy the Kitchen deity and let Master and Madam give birth to two fat boys next year.”
“…”
The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth twitched. When did the Kitchen deity take over the job of granting children from Guanyin?
