Planting yams was Xu Ning's idea when he first found yams in the valley. At that time, Xu Ning just mentioned it.
Xu Ning had forgotten everything along the way, but Old Lady Xu had written it down and even thought of buying a place to plant it.
"Grandma, you're so nice." Xu Ning hugged Old Lady Xu's arm and rubbed his face against it coquettishly.
"Xu Daya, did you rub eye boogers on my clothes?"
"Really? Let me touch it." After touching it, Xu Ning fell silent, then burst into laughter, "Grandma, you ruined the atmosphere at such a warm moment."
"Shouldn't you blame your own eye boogers for ruining the atmosphere?" Old Mrs. Xu glared at Xu Ning. Xu Ning chuckled and continued to hold Old Mrs. Xu's arm without caring. Together with the Xu family, they followed Qin Da to the village chief's house.
After the transaction was agreed upon, Xu Ning's family signed and stamped the deed at the village chief's house. The deed was made in triplicate. After the Xu family signed it, the village chief would personally deliver it to the yamen to register the red deed.
The village chief was an old man in his sixties, with half of his teeth missing when he smiled. Old Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to see him making such a trip at such an old age, so she stuffed another tael of silver into Qin Da's pocket.
"Xiao Qin, I'm sorry to trouble you with the contract."
"Hey! Auntie, don't worry! I will definitely take care of it!" After Qin Da finished speaking, he chatted with the villagers. The people in Xianyu Village looked at the Xu family with more friendliness.
That night, Xu Ning and his family stayed at the village chief's house.
The village chief's wife is about ten years younger than him. She is very skillful and can steam a large pot of black steamed buns before dark.
Xu Ning took a small sip and found it a little salty, but he could barely swallow it because it was freshly made.
Xu Ning was about to pick up a piece of salted fish to try, but he saw that Xu Feng, who had eaten the salted fish first, had a wrinkled face!
Xu Ning???
"Xiaobao, is it very salty?" Xu Ning asked in a low voice, but Xu Feng ignored her.
"Xu Feng, is the salted fish salty?"
"What? Second sister, you called me! This salted fish is very salty!"
Xu Ning rolled her eyes like an old lady Xu, this kid deserves a beating.
As if Xu Feng saw the signal in Xu Ning's eyes, he immediately came over to her ingratiatingly, "Second sister, I was so confused just now that I didn't hear you calling me, seriously!"
"Do you think I believe it?" Xu Ning carefully picked up a piece of salted fish and almost spit it out as soon as he put it in his mouth. He immediately stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and finished the whole steamed bun before he felt better.
But after eating a steamed bun, Xu Ning couldn't eat anymore. He drank a few sips of water to dilute the taste in his mouth, but he kept burping after drinking.
Xu Laokong patted her back with one hand, gave her a look of disdain, and turned to explain to the village head's wife: "My granddaughter is quite lively, please don't mind, old sister."
"Oh, it's my daughter?" The village chief's wife was also happy. The village chief's family could speak Mandarin, and although they spoke haltingly, they could still understand. This was one of the reasons why Qin Da arranged for the Xu family to live in the village chief's house. Another reason was that Qin Da was the village chief's nephew, and the village chief's house was also the best house in Xianyu Village.
Xu Ning touched her face. Didn’t she look like a woman anymore?
When Xu Ning was considering whether to cut her hair again to maintain her "tomboy" image, her idea was shattered as soon as Old Mrs. Xu opened her mouth.
"Alas, it's all because of the famine. There's been no water for a long time to bathe or wash my hair, and the children's heads are all covered with lumps. They have no choice but to twist their hair."
"Children's hair grows fast, it will grow back after some care."
"What the old sister said is true. In less than two months, her hair has grown longer, and her hair quality is just like this..." Old Mrs. Xu was really worried and couldn't eat. The village head's wife immediately recommended the benefits of eating kelp to Old Mrs. Xu.
Xu Ning watched the two old ladies chatting animatedly, and the topic was all about her. She suddenly felt that her future days would be difficult. Just as she was about to stand up and slip away, Qin Xianglan, the little granddaughter of the village chief, stopped her.
