Chapter 392 Grandfather is a bit redundant
"Cook dad! Are you ready to change after this?"
As he said this, he patted Fan Changfu's belly.
"I'm so full! My belly is so big!"
Fan Changfu immediately took a deep breath and tried to shrink his stomach a little.
"It's still big!" Little Dumpling shook his head. "The cooking father has a big belly! The brain bag doesn't have a big belly!"
Fan Changfu often went to the Ye family, but he had never seen the brain bag that Xiao Jiuer mentioned.
He has always wondered why the male owner of the Ye family never came out to see him?
But now he understands!
It turns out that the reason why Naobao doesn’t come out to see people is because he is too thin!
I feel embarrassed to show my fair and plump self out there!
Fan Changfu was overjoyed, "Xiaobao, give me a hug from grandpa!"
"Send a few!"
The little girl hugged her grandfather's chubby belly and climbed on top of him. Although her grandfather was not in great shape, his body was soft and comfortable.
Wang Changyang said, "The Fan family is indeed in need of people now, and refugees are just the right people to fill this vacancy."
"Yes!" Fan Changfu looked at the little girl affectionately. "The Fan family joined Heihe City in open rebellion, so they can no longer handle many of the previous businesses. Therefore, the people of Yifu Village are now doing business all over Dayu on behalf of the Fan family. The Fan family now only deals with foreign countries."
Wang Changyang laughed and said, "You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will report it to the court?"
Fan Changfu shook his head and smiled, "Everyone says that there is no business without dishonesty. I don't think it's dishonesty, but I think it's the ability to read people's expressions. Wang Daru, you've been following Xiaobao all the way here, and your expression has changed from hesitation at first to surprise now. It shows that you are happy for Heihe Village."
"Furthermore, your visit to Black River City this time must be related to my poor daughter. But the great scholar didn't mention this matter when he met me just now, which shows that he doesn't agree with the dog emperor in his heart."
"So, I can be sure that the great scholar is actually on the side of Black River City."
As Fan Changfu spoke, he took Wang Changyang to the top of the city wall, and the scenery outside the village was in full view.
"Look, great scholar. To the right is Yifu Village. It hasn't been long since the refugees have settled down and are now living and working in peace."
All the houses in Yi Fu Village are newly built. Because they were planned in advance, all the houses are arranged neatly. The village roads are straight and wide, and it looks neat and beautiful.
"There are dozens of villages ahead. I heard that before, there were frequent fights between the villages, and no one would submit to the other. Now, everyone obeys the orders of Heihe Village and is as close as a family."
"All of this is because of Xiao Jiuer." Fan Changfu said with pride, "This is destiny, no one can stop it!"
As he was speaking, a few people came hurriedly from a distance and greeted Xiao Jiuer from a distance.
"Master Xiaojiu, we have something to discuss with you!"
The headmen from nine villages have arrived.
"I'm coming!"
Little Tuanzi crawled out of Fan Changfu's arms, dragged his short legs down the steps, and went to greet the village heads.
"I brought some delicious food for Master Xiaojiu!" Feng Lizheng from Jingwan Village took out some hot fried peanuts from his arms.
"I brought some too!" Sun Lizheng from Zhushan Village took out some hot pea yellow.
"What a coincidence!" Xu Lizheng from Jingui Village took out a bag of hot roasted chestnuts!
The remaining village heads smiled knowingly and took out the snacks they had brought.
"Which one would you like to eat first, Master Xiaojiu?" The village heads looked expectant as if they were presenting a treasure.
Little Dumpling pointed at the sizzling roasted sweet potato and said, "This!"
The people in Baitang Village were screaming and couldn't close their mouths.
"I knew it! I've been watching over this roasted sweet potato for a whole hour, and it's not even burnt! Master Xiaojiu, try it!"
As he spoke, he peeled the skin carefully.
Just when everyone thought he was going to hand it to Xiao Jiuer, he took out a clean small wooden spoon from his pocket.
"This is a small spoon I made specially for Master Xiaojiu. It's very convenient for eating roasted sweet potatoes!"
As a result, the corners of the mouths of the other eight village heads twitched.
I watched helplessly as the people in Baitang Village fed the little girl roasted sweet potatoes one spoonful at a time.
"So sweet! So nice!" Xiao Jiuer clapped her hands happily.
"Are there any bamboo shoots left on the mountain?" someone suddenly asked from Zhushan Village.
"Gone! They were all taken away by Baitang Village!" said the other seven village heads quietly.
If looks could kill, the village chief of Baitang would have died at least a hundred times.
"What do you want from me?" asked the little girl while eating.
"Three things."
"First, at this time of year in previous years, every village would go to the county government office for a meeting to prepare for tax payments. This year, we're unsure what to do."
"No! No! No!" Little Dumpling said decisively without even raising his head.
"good!"
The village heads couldn't hide their smiles. They never dreamed that one day they wouldn't have to pay taxes!
This year's weather has been excellent, so it's a bumper harvest! All the food will be ours, and just thinking about it makes me excited!
"Secondly, the villagers now have money, and many want to build new houses. But they're also thinking about going to war with the court, so they don't know if they should build these houses."
The villagers are indeed quite hesitant now. They want to live in new houses to improve their living standards, but they are also worried that if a war breaks out, the newly built houses will be destroyed. Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?
"Build!" Little Dumpling said without hesitation.
"Hurry up, the bad guys can't get in!"
"Okay, okay!" The village heads were reassured. "Then let them build it if they want!"
"Third, the seeds that Master Xiaojiu gave me last time have already been planted in all the villages. Master Xiaojiu, don't worry, the seeds will definitely not be leaked!"
Xiao Jiuer previously distributed a type of vegetable seed to each of the nine villages. For example, onions were only given to Hongfeng Village, and garlic sprouts were only given to Dahuai Village...
In this way, each village will guard its own seeds strictly.
Of course, Xiao Jiuer will spread the seeds in the space one day, but not now.
"Okay!" Xiao Jiuer continued to eat the roasted sweet potatoes.
"Master Xiaojiu, don't eat roasted sweet potatoes all the time! It makes you bloated!"
“Try the sweet and sticky roasted chestnuts!”
"Nonsense, only chestnuts cause flatulence! Try the delicious pea yellow!"
"What's so good about pea yellow? Try some freshly fried peanuts!"
…
On the city wall, Fan Changfu kept sighing as he watched.
He, the grandfather, appeared too late and seemed to be unable to fit into Xiao Jiuer's world.
He felt a little redundant.
Wang Changyang saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Although Xiao Jiu'er doesn't lack love, you can still do a lot for her. For example, aren't you the one who supplies the peasant army with food and fodder?"
"Well..." Fan Changfu said strangely, "You are mistaken. I didn't supply any food or fodder."
"If it's not you?" Wang Changyang was shocked. "Then who else could it be?! Who has such financial resources?!"
"I asked the Ye family about this question, and they only replied with six words."
"Which six words?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Wang Changyang was dumbfounded.
"This is Black River City. Anyone who comes here will be impressed."
"Da Ru, do you need to bring your family over?"
Fan Changfu smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "The Fan family has its own channels, and we are willing to serve you."
