Chapter 229 Seeing the Bear Open
Fang Weihan smiled and nodded, "It's enough. Thanks to the kindness of the boss, we can finally support ourselves this year."
"It's not enough to just support yourself. You said before that the wasteland next to the farm is nice, right?" Su Tai asked.
Fang Wei nodded repeatedly, "It's quite good. We didn't know it before, but after we reclaimed the land, we found that there were not many broken stones in that large piece of wasteland. In addition, it is close to the Daxun River and the soil is fertile. If we cultivate it well for a few years, it will definitely become good farmland."
Su Tai had some thoughts in her mind, smiled at him, and said, "In that case, if you have time in the spring, you can open up the land next door as well. I plan to buy it as well."
There were only two hundred acres of land on the farm, but there were sixty tenant farmers, which meant each person got less than four acres on average. It was enough to support herself, but there was no way she could have more. Since she had extra manpower, she couldn't waste it.
Land reclamation is definitely a win-win situation for everyone.
Fang Wei was overjoyed, "Great, great! I'll notify them when I get back, and we'll definitely be able to plant the crops before the spring plowing season next year."
Su Tai nodded in satisfaction, pointing at the things on the ground and said thoughtfully, "I will be generous this year. Each of you will get two pounds of pork, one bone, and one portion of sugar and tea. The same goes for cakes. I have packed them all. You can take them away. Next year you can pickle some pickles for the winter."
Fang Wei expressed his gratitude to the three people again, and after a while, he finally took all the things away.
The next day, Su Tai asked Chen Mu to take her to the home of the town magistrate of Dahe Town to deliver the New Year gift. Within an hour, she got the two hundred acres of wasteland she wanted.
After Chen Mu knew about it, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "Chen Yi is not at home now. It's hard enough for you to take care of so many things by yourself. Why do you want to buy land? Can you take care of it?"
Su Tai laughed dumbly and explained, "It is because Chen Yi is not at home that I want to buy these lands. The original land is too small and there are too many tenants. They don't get much land, and they have extra energy, so they are prone to thinking about things and causing trouble.
Why not buy more land for them to farm? Who has the time to think about other things when there is too much work? More importantly, they can feel at ease when they have a harvest and extra money in their pockets. I don't expect them to farm for me forever. After all, who doesn't want to own their own land?
When they save enough money to leave, I will find new tenants. This way, they won’t be dependent on the farm, right?”
Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this, and he really admired Su Tai more and more in his heart, "I really don't know what's wrong with your brain. I can't think of so many things."
Su Tai smiled and didn't explain.
On New Year's Eve, the work in the Guokui workshop was finished. Shen Ergou and Shen Tian cleaned the house, collected their wages and New Year gifts, and went back.
Su Zhan, Su Ming and Chenxiang were also preparing to return to Dongmen Village.
Before leaving, Su Tai brought them a large pot of beef hotpot, which contained beef offal, beef balls, and fresh beef, which could be eaten after being boiled. In addition to this, there was also a large pot of boiled fish.
The three of them watched with their eyes widened.
"Sister, why are you preparing these things for us? It's not like we don't have cooking at home!" Su Zhan refused subconsciously.
Su Tai rolled her eyes at him, "How can it be the same? Can mother and Xiaoyu make such food? Stop wasting time, take it back and try it, and tell me if it tastes good."
The three of them had no choice but to obediently take their things back.
As soon as they left, Su Tai went over and called Xu and the others to come over to make hot pot and boiled fish.
There will inevitably be some more excuses and greetings.
After everyone had left, Su Tai heaved a long sigh of relief, turned into the kitchen, ran to the fire time and space, packed up a fresh beef hotpot, and then went to the boiled fish shop next door to pick up the four pounds of boiled fish she had ordered.
Then he went back to McDonald's to pick up the super deluxe meal he had ordered.
After everything was ready, she trotted to the backyard to call for help.
Everyone who heard the noise looked at Su Tai at the same time.
Ke Yunyun asked excitedly: "Cousin, can we go to the front?"
"Come on, come on! Come out, everyone. I have prepared food for you. Let's eat first and then we'll decide what to eat in the evening." Su Tai stepped forward and took the children out, holding their hands on both sides.
The three children came to the yard and started rolling around happily when they saw the snow. No one could stop them.
After they had played around, Su Tai took them to the main room, gave each of them a cup of hot milk tea, and then served them a super luxurious meal, which really made these people who had never seen the world stare.
"Cousin! What is this? It smells so good!" Ke Yunyun smacked her lips, eager to try it.
Su Tai gave each of them a burger. "It's like a steamed bun, with meat and vegetables inside. Try it."
Xiaoxi took a bite as well, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she was used to hard work and would not waste food.
Ke Yunyun liked it very much. She took one bite after another and finished the whole hamburger.
After trying a fried chicken drumstick, she was completely conquered. "Cousin, this is the only chicken I've ever eaten that's so delicious. I'm so happy to follow you, cousin!"
Ke Yunyun was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
Xiaoxi nodded desperately. Both the master and the servant were not very good at cooking, and at this moment they both felt a deep attachment and admiration for Su Tai.
If adults are like this, let alone children.
They were all busy eating and didn't care about anything else.
Even the youngest Shen Congrong ate a roasted chicken leg.
Su Tai was worried that his stomach couldn't take it, so she didn't dare let him eat any more and coaxed him to drink some fruit tea to help digestion.
The house was bustling with activity, but Su Tai couldn't help but think of Chen Yi who was far away, and she didn't know whether they had a good New Year.
Shen Yi, who was being missed by Su Tai, was now eating his meals in the tent.
Although it was New Year's Day, there was nothing good in the military camp, let alone for the new recruits who had just arrived. It was already good enough to be able to get enough food.
As soon as Shen Yi finished eating, Song Yongnian and Ye An came.
"Brother Shen, guess who I just saw?"
Seeing that Song Yongnian looked unhappy, Shen Yi said, "Isn't it a good thing?"
Song Yongnian nodded slightly, "I actually saw the bear that harmed my sister-in-law!"
Shen Yi stood up suddenly, "Where is he?"
Song Yongnian immediately took him out to look for someone. After they looked around, they found that Xiong Kai was actually assigned to the same place as Zhu Yixuan and the others.
When enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy. Shen Yi stared at Xiong Kai, and Xiong Kai met Shen Yi's gloomy and vicious eyes without any hesitation.
The air was filled with fire, and everyone could sense that they had a grudge against each other.
Zhu Yixuan had known Shen Yi for such a long time and knew that he was a kind person. It was the first time he saw him like this and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "What's wrong? Is there a feud between you two?"
"Why is he here?" Shen Yi asked instead of answering.
Zhu Yixuan didn't care and just said, "He was just assigned here last night. He doesn't seem to be a new recruit. If you want to know, I'll go ask for you."
