Under the guidance of Xiao Shitou, Xiao Guoguo got to know many insects. Xiao Shitou also caught many insects and let Xiao Guoguo observe and play with them up close.
The three little guys get along very harmoniously.
Ge Tao chatted with Su Ruowan. There were many topics to talk about between women.
What's more, Ge Tao heard from Lei Zheng at noon that Su Ruowan decided to rent the barren mountain behind Leijia Village.
Everyone in Leijia Village knows that the boss from outside the province came to their village and rented a barren hill to grow fruit, but ended up losing a lot of money.
Lei Zheng gave her a task, which was to find time to persuade Su Ruowan before the contract from the village chief came down.
Su Ruowan and his group are guests of honor of Grandpa. The rent of three thousand yuan a year is indeed not expensive, it is a completely fair price. However, the land is vast but the resources are scarce. No matter how cheap the rent is, it still costs money.
What's more, Su Ruowan's reclamation of the barren hills will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. When everything is invested, in the end, there will be nothing to show for it. How can my grandfather face them?
Lei Zheng is an honest man, and Ge Tao is the same type of person as him.
Otherwise, Lei Zheng would not have fallen for her. Over the years after their marriage, the couple has always been in love.
"Xiao Su, Lei Zheng said that you are planning to rent the barren mountain behind our village?" Ge Tao is also a straightforward person. Lei Zheng asked her to find an opportunity to persuade Su Ruowan. After thinking about it, she still felt that it would be better to say it directly.
"Well, the barren mountain is very large. If I could really grow crops there, I could grow as many Chinese medicinal herbs as I want." Su Ruowan nodded.
"You want to grow Chinese medicinal herbs? Anyway, the boss who planted fruit trees before suffered heavy losses. He asked the village leaders to return his money. He has already been given half of the money back, but he is not satisfied. He has been slandering our village everywhere, saying that the people in Leijia Village are not authentic."
"For years, the mountain has been barren. Before, the village leaders led us to plant other things, but nothing grew, not even weeds. Those who have cattle and sheep would not graze them on the barren mountain."
"You and Grandma Liu are guests of Grandpa, and we are from this village. Of course, I am not a native of Leijia Village, but we really can't cheat you like this."
In Ge Tao's opinion, she had already told Su Ruowan all the bad things about the barren mountain. If Su Ruowan still insisted on renting the barren mountain, there would be no need to persuade her anymore.
In fact, persuading people with words is not as effective as persuading them with actions.
Only when a person hits the wall will he know what he cannot do.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. It's okay. The village chief's asking price isn't expensive anyway, just a few thousand yuan a year. I have nothing better to do, so I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll just consider it a lesson learned. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Ge Tao didn't expect that Su Ruowan had thought it through so clearly. Since she said so, she naturally wouldn't try to persuade her anymore.
"Yes, that's right." Ge Tao nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the little stone in front raised his little head and called out to Ge Tao excitedly, "Mom, we have crayfish. Let's catch some and make garlic paste."
“…”
Little Stone is also a little foodie.
Ge Tao's youngest daughter's nickname was Xiaohua. Xiaohua echoed her brother, pointing to the mud ditch and saying, "Little...snake, snake, snake."
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger and does not understand the horror of a snake. Now I am not afraid of it at all.
Little Stone smiled and corrected, "Mom, it's not a snake, it's an eel."
"Oh, then catch them. Be careful and don't fall." Ge Tao is also a carefree mother. She looked around and saw that her sisters-in-law who were working in the fields took the initiative to donate their baskets.
"Tao'er, here, catch some more crayfish and eels to take back for the two little ones and your guests as a snack. These are all wild, and the taste is definitely different from the artificially farmed ones in the big cities."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ge Tao accepted the kindness of others, took the basket, called Xiao Shitou, rolled up his arms and started working.
Little Guoguo stood by, eager to try, but he didn't dare go down without his uncle's permission. The ditch was full of mud and very dirty.
Seeing how skilled Xiao Shitou was at catching the crayfish with one hand, it was really fun and Xiao Guoguo was very envious.
Little Stone was still calling him, "Guoguo, come down quickly, don't be afraid. Look, our Xiaohua has come down. She is not even as big as you. Come down quickly, I will protect you."
Xiaohua also echoed her brother, stretching out her chubby little hands to greet Xiao Guoguo, "Little brother, come down..."
"Aunt, can I go down and catch them with them?" Xiao Guoguo didn't dare to ask Huo Shengnian, knowing that he would definitely not agree. He would go back covered in mud, and his uncle would definitely be angry.
He only dared to ask Su Ruwan for help.
"Do you want to go down?" Su Ruowan asked.
Xiao Guoguo nodded, but before she could even utter the word "want", Huo Shengnian angrily warned her from behind, "You dare to try next."
Su Ruowan was speechless. Why was he so mean to the child?
Isn't it just going to the mud ditch to catch some crayfish? It's such a fun thing. Those children in the city go shopping in supermarkets, visit museums, and play in amusement parks every day. It's really not as fun as catching this.
After being scolded by Huo Shengnian, Xiao Guoguo pouted and her eyes were red, looking really aggrieved.
Su Ruowan was distressed and held Xiao Guoguo's hand. "Don't listen to your uncle. Your aunt is the one who makes the decision. He can't see it anyway. If you make something dirty, your aunt will clean it up for you. We won't bother him, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Guoguo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Hearing Su Ruowan say this, Huo Shengnian's face instantly turned dark, but considering that Su Ruowan was injured so badly by him last night, he would naturally give Su Ruowan this face.
