Chapter 285 Ning Bao is under house arrest?
Here are a few key points:
First, no one may go to the main yard without the owner's permission, whether they are adults or children. If the adults cannot control the children, then the children should be moved out.
Secondly, you must not damage any of the plants or trees here. If any damage is caused, you will be required to pay for it!
Furthermore, Gu Yunrou and her son have always preferred a quiet life here, so they absolutely cannot be too noisy.
Meanwhile, on Gu Yunrou's side, Granny Gu looked at Gu Yunrou with great puzzlement.
“Miss, you clearly don’t like noise, but with hundreds of people from Shanglin Village moving in, this manor suddenly feels much smaller.”
When you were little, you would stay here for a while and your favorite thing to do was to stroll around the garden.
But since you came this time, you haven't visited the garden even once. I know it's not that you don't want to visit, but that there are too many people in the garden.
Everywhere you look, there are elderly women strolling around the garden, and children running around and playing.
We used to think that three to five days would be enough for them, but now you're making them stay until the spring planting is finished and the houses are built.
My dear lady, do you know that they will have to stay for at least another two or three months?
Sigh! I don't know what you're thinking, insisting on making trouble for yourself. Don't you know the saying, "It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away"?
I think this will cause a lot of trouble later on.
Faced with Granny Gu's complaints, Gu Yunrou simply smiled good-naturedly.
“Granny, a few months is something we can just endure and it will pass, but it is very important to them.”
We knew that I couldn't just stand by and watch them suffer without helping them.
They've always lived in the north and don't know the weather here, especially since it's by the sea and the winds are so strong. It must be very dangerous for them to live in a makeshift shed.
Besides, I trust the character of Village Chief Lin and the Mu family; they won't cause us any trouble staying here.
"Young Miss!"
As Gu Yunrou and Granny Gu were talking, Gu Xiang walked in from outside.
"Miss, I heard that Village Chief Lin just had a meeting with the villagers, and it just ended."
As soon as I finished telling him about the young lady's ideas, he immediately called a meeting.
Gu Yunrou raised an eyebrow.
"A meeting? What does it have to do with us?"
Gu Xiang nodded.
"Well, the main content of the meeting will be..."
Gu Xiang relayed the entire contents of the meeting, which he had learned from hearsay, to Gu Yunrou.
Gu Yunrou smiled after hearing this.
"Look, Granny Gu, they really deserve help and know how to be grateful."
"There are only a few of us, so the main courtyard is enough for us. They can use the other areas as they please."
…………
The foundation has been laid out, but there are no plans to build a house yet, so Mu Chunping's family started clearing the land in the afternoon.
They didn't clear land on the foundation side, but went to the cultivated area. Pingchuan County is sparsely populated, and Chuyun Village is close to the sea with a lot of sandy land, so no one likes to buy land here.
With only about ten households in Chuyun Village, it's impossible to cultivate much land, resulting in large areas of farmland being left uncultivated.
There are large tracts of wasteland next to Chuyun Village, which look to be at least several hundred acres.
The wasteland in Chuyun Village is free; anyone who is diligent and willing to cultivate it can do so.
However, once these wastelands are cleared, they cannot be left uncultivated. Each village must register the amount and date of clearing, and taxes must be paid three years later.
Ning Bao's land was located at the entrance of the village, and his family was the first to have their land measured. Mu Chunping was a diligent person, and as soon as his land was measured, he paid five taels of silver.
Then he and his sons, who were about to grow up, got busy on the foundation. Although they weren't going to build the house yet, they could dig out the vegetable garden first.
This made Li Guizhi and Shen Yuzhen very satisfied. The women in the village usually like to carefully tend their small vegetable gardens, watching the vegetables grow and then eating them.
After digging up the vegetable garden, they still need to clear the wasteland. Now all the men in the family are busy, only Ningbao, the idle one, is rather bored.
Shen Muyang was also relatively free, while the other children were all called by their families to do what they could in the fields.
Even Lin Jiayu, who is almost seven years old, went to the field to pick up grass.
After Ning Bao finished her homework under Shen Muyang's "watching," she sat in the chair and kept fidgeting.
Shen Muyang, who had originally planned to read for a while, looked at Ning Bao, who was fidgeting.
"Ningbao, what book do you want to read? I'll get it for you."
Ningbao immediately shook her head vigorously when she heard about reading.
"No, Ningbao doesn't want to read. Brother Muyang, let's go out for a walk."
Shen Muyang frowned.
"Where does Ningbao want to go?"
Ningbao's eyes lit up.
"The back mountain!"
Shen Muyang quickly shook his head.
"No, your grandma specifically told you not to run around outside when she brought you here."
