Chunxiao then asked for official documents for the several places just introduced, thanked the chief clerk, and left the government office with Yan Mingli.
"Tomorrow you can take a look at my eldest brother's place or mine first, so you can get a rough idea of what needs to be prepared to build a village. In a few days, I will take you to various towns to take a look at these plots of land."
"This farm is too far away from you. We are all novices in cotton farming, so I'm afraid it won't work."
"Don't worry. Since you're supplying me with cotton, I naturally hope you grow as well as possible. It doesn't matter if it's a few towns away. You'll need to add more cattle when the time comes. Even if I don't go myself, I'll arrange for people to check on you regularly. I'll also definitely help you build the farm in the early stages. Don't worry, I'm still responsible."
Yan Mingli smiled. "That's good. This person is unfamiliar with the place and is a little afraid to do anything. Chunxiao, I really admire you. You went so far away to buy land and build a farm. I don't think there are many men who can surpass you."
"Don't praise me anymore. If I don't make any money next year, you'll scold me."
"No, we've long been aware of the risks. Many of the people in our village are actually reasonable."
The two returned to the inn, but Shuwen and the others had not returned yet, so Chunxiao went for a walk on the street by herself.
Isn’t the Wuying Town we are talking about today the town of happy life? I didn’t expect that it is only separated from Luokou by one town. I thought it was very far away.
This time, since everything about the farm had been almost arranged, she thought she wouldn't have to spend much money and she didn't plan to buy any more land for a while. Fearing that it would be unsafe to carry too much silver outside, she hid the 5,000 taels of silver notes in a secret compartment at home, and only exchanged the small change for three 100-tael silver notes, leaving with more than 340 taels of silver.
More than 300 taels of silver would definitely be enough for food and clothing, but she suddenly thought of a problem. If Yan Mingli and the others were short of money to buy land, she would be unable to help. This time she was inconsiderate. She would wait and see the land in two days before making a decision. After all, she would take one step at a time.
We stayed in the county town for one night and set off directly back to Luokou early the next morning.
It is summer now, and the wind outside is quite comfortable. I have been away for more than a month, and I don’t know how the farm is doing. I don’t know whether they can take care of the happiness of the new people they bought. The more I think about it, the more worried I become!
Today she came to drive a car with two teenagers on board, who kept asking her questions. For example, they asked, "Sister Chunxiao, why does it look like there's more land here than here?" "Sister Chunxiao, how big is Pengdong?" "Sister Chunxiao, how big is your farm?" In short, they kept asking one question after another, and she didn't know how to answer them. She simply replied, "You know better, I don't know either." When she asked them again later, she said she had to focus on driving the car and let them play by themselves.
Well, maybe this is what it’s like to raise a child. She probably lacks a little patience.
