Chapter 139 Suffering is a blessing

   "Do you think that only the three of them feel uncomfortable?"

   Hearing what Zeng said, the old man snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's Jiaojiao's own mother, and she also has an idea about this!"

"No way?"

   Mr. Zeng narrowed his eyes when he heard the words of the old man.

   "Why not?"

   The old man's face was stern, "That time, although it was a little flustered, why did all of us forget to ask Jiaojiao?"

"no, I can not."

After listening to the old man's words, Mr. Zeng shook his head sharply, "Old man, you must never say this again. If this is heard by Jiaojiao or any other baby, and it spreads out, Jiaojiao and her mother can How do you get along?"

   "Don't worry, I'm not a fool!"

   The old man nodded.

   "Besides, I'm just guessing about this."

   "Without hard evidence, what can I say?"

   "But, in the future, we have nothing to do, so let's keep an eye on it!"

   Lao Yuan's head sighed, "Jiaojiao is the great fortune star of our Lao Yuan's family who can shine on the lintel in the future, they don't believe it, we have to believe it!"

  …

   The words of the old leader and Zeng will naturally not spread.

  Because, at this moment, Lao Yuan's family is the only two of them in the house, and other people, including Yuanbao, have followed out to see the officials of the city guard.

  The existing fields are divided equally according to the population, and those mountains and forests can either be reclaimed into fields, or they can be bought by themselves in the city guard house.

   For the people of Beishan Village and Lao Yuan’s family, it is obviously unrealistic to buy those forests. Although the forest land is much cheaper than the farmland, the price of a mountain forest is at least a few hundred taels or a thousand taels. Such a huge sum of money, even if the money of all the families in Beishan Village is added together, it is still far behind.

   As a family who just moved to Beishan Village, Lao Yuan’s family gave up those relatively good fields in this time of land allocation, and mainly chose those half-cultivated fields near the foot of the mountain.

  Because of this, Lao Yuan's family has a few more acres of land.

   In this regard, the villagers of Beishan Village all feel that they have inherited the favor of Lao Yuan's family.

   Even the official in charge of dividing the fields in the city guard house was relieved, because these half-baked fields were really difficult to handle.

   The yield of semi-cooked land is not even a star and a half worse than that of cooked land. This type of land is really difficult to distinguish. After all, there is no such thing as half-baked land in the division of the imperial court.

  The imperial court divided the fields into upper, middle and lower grades.

  The semi-cooked land is divided into low-grade land, and the land tax is paid according to the standard of low-grade land.

   But in fact, the output of semi-cooked land may not even be enough to pay the basic land tax.

   To put it bluntly, Lao Yuan’s family who chose half-cooked land may not be able to get any benefits from the fields for two years. Even, they have to spend extra.

   Lao Yuan's choice, in the eyes of many people, this is undoubtedly stupid.

   It's just that this is the decision of the head of the family, the old man. No matter whether other people agree or not, they can only follow the request of the old man.

   "It is a blessing to suffer a loss!"

   When the land allocation was over, the old man knew that all the land that he had been allocated was half-cooked, or that it was a delight.

   "Father, isn't our choice too stupid?"

   "Even if we are new here, we don't have to choose this kind of half-baked land, right?"

  Da Li came back from the outside, and his face was always ugly, "If I had known, our family should not have moved out of Shiqu Village in the first place!"
