Chapter 465 Old Mrs. Chen is here again
As the sun gradually rises, everyone in Lianhua Village is busy with their tasks.
Regarding the distribution of vegetable seedlings, Wan Qiqi suggested that everyone could receive a maximum of 50 seedlings at a time, and then receive a second batch after planting them all.
Furthermore, the land was planned out, with several trees planted in a row and one tree planted at regular intervals.
The requirements vary depending on the type of seedling.
Therefore, basically one person receives the same type of seed and plants it from beginning to end.
Chen Yongxing had already turned over all the soil beforehand, so now he only needed to plant, saving a lot of effort.
Grandma Chen didn't keep an eye on anyone but Aunt Dazhuang, as if she was afraid that she would steal the vegetable seedlings.
Wan Qiqi finally had some free time, so she moved a stool and sat down next to the vegetable seedlings, keeping an eye on them while also watching the people working.
March here is roughly equivalent to April in the modern Gregorian calendar, and the weather is no longer so cold.
After sitting in the sun for a while, I started to sweat.
Wan Qiqi covered her face with her hands to prevent herself from getting a tan.
A moment later, a woman appeared in front of them.
She was dressed in coarse cloth, and her black hair was coiled up behind her head and tied with strips of coarse cloth.
She looks young, and still has a bit of baby fat.
Wan Qiqi was meeting this person for the first time today, but she had a general idea of who she was, and asked, "You must be Big Bear's wife? Are you settling in well after you married into the family?"
The woman was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the other party to ask this, and quickly said, "Hello, Sister-in-law Chen! I'm living here quite well, and Da Xiong is very kind to me."
She lowered her head as she spoke, appearing somewhat shy.
Wan Qiqi smiled faintly, counted out a handful of vegetable seedlings and handed them over, saying, "That's good! If Sun Daxiong bullies you, just go to Chen Lizheng, he'll help you!"
"Okay!" Big Bear's wife lowered her head, her ears turning slightly red.
"Fifty seedlings, is that enough? The sun is strong, so take a break after working for a while, don't overwork yourself!" Wan Qiqi instructed as she handed over the seedlings, then added, "I heard your village has a new village head?"
Big Bear's wife took the vegetable seedlings and had a good impression of Wan Qiqi.
I'd always heard people in the village say that Wan Qiqi had done some bad things, harmed some people, and was very malicious.
But now that she's actually spent time with her, she realizes that all those rumors are false; Sister-in-law Chen is clearly a very nice person!
She looked up at Wan Qiqi with a gentle smile and said, "Yes, the previous village head was sick, so the county government needed to appoint a new village head. My father was chosen and became the current village head of Guanshi Village."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Qiqi's eyes, but it was fleeting and barely noticeable.
She hadn't paid much attention to Guanshi Village. When she heard that Sun Daxiong was getting married, she didn't even know who his fiancé was. She never expected there to be such a connection.
If she remembered correctly, Chen Lizheng had said that the current Lizheng was appointed by Xie, the county magistrate.
Does that mean that Xie Xing is now the head of Guanshi Village?
Marrying his daughter into Lianhua Village was an attempt to understand the village's movements, or rather, to understand the Chen family's movements.
Wan Qiqi became more wary of Big Bear's wife, but still maintained a gentle smile on her face, saying, "By the way, I still don't know your name!"
"My surname is Guan, and my given name is Die. You can call me Xiao Die, sister-in-law," Guan Die said, a bright smile on her face.
No matter how you look at it, she is a naturally innocent and harmless girl.
Wan Qiqi felt that Guan Die didn't seem to be faking it; she was genuinely innocent.
But such people are often easily exploited without even realizing it.
"Xiaodie, what a beautiful name!" Wan Qiqi exclaimed.
She wasn't lying; in the village, it truly was the best name she had ever heard.
Guan Die blushed upon hearing this and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I'll go and get back to work!"
After saying that, he left.
Wan Qiqi stared at Guan Die's departing figure for a long while before looking away.
Fortunately, she was careful and didn't let anyone know that she had gone out, otherwise her secrets would have been exposed.
She understood Xie Xing less and less.
Previously, she thought this person was complicated, valuing profit but also being loyal and righteous, with a bit of a chivalrous spirit.
Now, things are becoming more complicated, people are paying more attention to interests, and they've developed a bit more of an official air, making them unpredictable.
If Tang Qiwen's matter were in Xie Xing's hands, Wan Qiqi would find it somewhat incomprehensible.
Xie Xing released Tang Qiwen. Wasn't he afraid that Tang Qiwen would become uncontrollable?
Although the Xie family has some wealth, the Tang family is no pushover either.
Judging from Xie Xing's appearance, he wanted to win over me and Chen Yongnian, and release Tang Qiwen to oppose me. Isn't this a contradiction?
Or perhaps he wanted to learn from Fang Ziming and play the game of checks and balances?
Wan Qiqi thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out. She decided to wait for Chen Yongnian to return and ask the county government for details before making a decision.
Now, she'll focus on getting the wasteland sorted out first.
Just as I was thinking of getting up and taking a walk, I heard a commotion coming from the vegetable garden.
"Hey Aunt Dazhuang, do you even know how to farm? Look at what you've planted! This one's crooked, and this one's planted too deep..."
Grandma Chen's critical voice carried far, and even Wan Qiqi had to admit: she was impressed.
By calculation, the old lady is over sixty years old.
Although he was using crutches and his legs looked a little unsteady, his voice was full of energy.
Especially when swearing.
Aunt Dazhuang wasn't about to be outdone, and retorted, "Old lady, you just watch and don't lift a finger. Don't you know how tiring it is? Why don't you do it and see how well you can do it?"
"Hmph, I'm just the supervisor, old lady. I don't need the money. Whatever I want, my grandson will give it to me as a gift. But you, I don't see anyone capable in your family..."
When it comes to arguing, Old Mrs. Chen has never lost to anyone except Wan Qiqi.
