Hong Erniang, who is thirty years old, is as excited as a child at this moment.

Zhao Tingzhang was very proud, because the wheat seedlings were growing so well, and he deserved some credit for it.

However, that was the first achievement; the greatest achievement was building the house.

Zhao Tingzhang pointed to the seven or eight houses built in front and said happily, "Wanzi's mother, look over there."

He Tiantian looked in the direction of the gesture.

Originally, we planned to build thirteen or fourteen chicken coops, but we've already built more than half of them. That's incredibly fast progress in just over a month.

He Tiantian was overjoyed. "Chief, you're really efficient. Let's finish building the house before the snow falls this year, and then buy chicks next spring."

Hong Erniang also looked at the row of very impressive houses and suddenly realized that if she didn't have a place to stay in this village, it would be inconvenient to farm.

So he suggested, "Girl, you've built so many houses. Why don't you build one for me too? I'll pay for it myself."

He Tiantian looked at Hong Erniang with amusement, and said with a wry smile, "Sister Hong, since you've come, how can I let you stay at the foot of the mountain? It's all empty here. It looks alright during the day, but it's scary at night. Although there aren't many rooms in the house, it's enough if we squeeze in."

Hong Erniang smiled sheepishly, "That's really too much trouble. I'm extremely grateful."

He Tiantian had already bought up all the land at the foot of the mountain near the river, so Zhao Tingzhang led them in another direction from the back of the mountain.

However, the other wasteland is a bit far, about half a hill away.

But that's the south side of the mountain, where the sunshine is great.

Good sunlight is ideal for crop growth, especially for relatively delicate plants like cotton.

Although Hong Erniang's feet ached from walking, she gritted her teeth and persevered because of her good location.

Today, the sun was partially obscured by dark clouds, and the wind in the mountains was quite strong, making it feel slightly cool.

He Tiantian and Hong Erniang initially felt a bit cold, but as they walked further in, they both started to sweat slightly.

The further you walk, the wider your view becomes.

However, because this place was rarely visited before, the original road was covered with weeds.

He Tiantian pointed to the endless expanse of land covered with withered yellow weeds in front of her and said, "Wanzi's mother, Hong Erniang, do you think this dry land is any good?"

"No crops have ever been grown here before; the grass used to grow taller than a person. If you want to grow crops, you'll need to take good care of it."

He Tiantian and Hong Erniang walked forward, looking at it carefully again and again.

It's hard to tell what's going on, but it's safe to say that the land here is quite fertile.

The fact that so many weeds have survived the drought indicates that the area has sufficient groundwater.

He Tiantian looked at the mountain in front of her and asked with some curiosity, "Chief, is there a spring nearby on this mountain?"

"Yes, there is. If you walk a little further ahead from here, there's a spring about three or four acres away. It's in the woods."

He Tiantian and Hong Erniang exchanged glances, both satisfied with the wasteland.

"Second Aunt, if you're satisfied with what you see, then have the village head send someone to measure the land," He Tiantian reminded her.

Hong Erniang was very happy. "Good, good. Let's finalize this today."

Zhao, the pavilion chief, was also pleased and told the two to wait there. He went to call over a few laborers to help with the measurement, which would make it faster.

Taking advantage of this break, He Tiantian and Hong Erniang wandered around the neighborhood at will.

Looking at the endless mountains in front of her, Hong Erniang sighed, "Sister, you have many mountains here, you could consider planting some fruit trees."

"There are mulberries, right at the foot of the hill where the wheat field was just now. Every spring, some sour fruits also grow on the mountain, which are not very tasty..." He Tiantian recalled the scene of her going to the field to look for food last year.

With so many mountains, she thought she could at least find some fruit.

But after searching many times, the fruit was terribly unpalatable. It was sour and astringent, hardly qualifying as a real fruit.

Hong Erniang scoffed, "What kind of fruit is it if it's not sweet? I've seen quite a few good things on my travels, like grapes, oranges, and so on..."

Grape?

He Tiantian is still very interested in grapes because grapevines are easy to grow.

Moreover, she wants to raise chickens, and if she plants a large area of ​​grapevines, she can raise chickens under the grapevines.

It can reduce fruit tree diseases and also allow chickens to eat their fill and enjoy the shade, which is simply wonderful.

Moreover, grapes can be used to make wine, a drink that is perfect for women like them, and just thinking about it makes me happy.

Thinking of this, He Tiantian said solemnly, "Second Aunt, how about we find an opportunity next year to go to the capital? I heard they have everything there."

Hong Erniang was also looking forward to it and quickly nodded, "Of course, of course. I've never been to the capital before, that's where the emperor lives."

The two men were discussing their plans to make money next year when Zhao Tingzhang arrived with five or six men, carrying ropes for measuring land.

Much of the land in the village that had been abandoned for many years has already been sold this year.

In Changfeng Village, such news became common conversation after meals.

When Old Zhao's wife heard that He Tiantian had bought land and built a house, she was incredibly jealous.

Although she looked down on He Tiantian, Old Lady Zhao knew in her heart that this might be a good opportunity to make money.

No, she wants to buy land too.

But she didn't have any money, so Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei had to pay for it together.
