Chapter 60 The Message
Lu Tang and Qin Mo stepped out of the door and happened to meet Qiao Tiezhu coming over with a pot of pepper. When he saw Lu Tang going out, he unexpectedly said: "Young Master is going out? It's dark now."
Lu Tang smiled and said, "I'll go out for a walk."
The people in this village are all tenants of the Qiao family. Everyone was surprised and excited about Lu Tang's arrival.
The third family to the left of the Qiao family's mansion is Qiao Fugui's family. Qiao Fugui is now in his sixties, and his four sons and two daughters have become home.
My daughter married to the next village. Today is Qiao Fugui's birthday. The two daughters and son-in-law stayed with their children to spend the night.
The yard was bustling like the New Year.
"I don't know your birthday today. If I knew, I would definitely bring you a pot of good wine when I came here." Lu Tang was led inward by Qiao Fugui and said to him with a smile.
After working all year round, Qiao Fugui's waist was arched and couldn't straighten, but his spirit was shining.
"The boss has waived us a 20% rent, which is not as good as the wine. Besides, I can't get used to drinking the wine outside, so I'll drink it easily."
Qiao Fugui smiled contentedly and asked Lu Tang to sit down a chair in the yard in the right seat. It can be seen that before Lu Tang arrived, he was sitting on the chair.
Lu Tang didn't give in and sat down, "This year, the rain is enough, the crops in the fields should grow well, right?"
Lu Tang’s task was to light up the map, so when he entered the tenant’s home, he just chatted.
Qin Mo did not say how he led the snake out of the hole. Anyway, when Lu Tang spoke, he did not raise any objection.
Just as Lu Tang finished her words, she saw Qiao Fugui's smile froze, and the four sons who were joking next to her also kept silent at the same time.
Lu Tang asked in confusion: "What? But what's wrong with the crops in the field?"
Qiao Fugui looked at Lu Tang with an old wrinkled face, and for a moment, smiling and shook his head, "No problem, it's strong."
"Dad!" Qiao Fugui's youngest son suddenly shouted anxiously.
Qiao Fugui stared at him.
The youngest son was obviously not afraid of him, so he didn't retreat after being glared at him. He shook off the elder brother who grabbed his sleeve and wanted to stop him from speaking, and said directly to Lu Tang: "Young Master, our Qiaojiazhuang really wants to move to the next door Gujiazhuang as a whole?"
Lu Tang opened his eyes wide and looked at him, "Who did you hear?"
One of Qiao Fugui's son-in-law said, "We are from Gujiazhuang. I heard a word from the eldest master of the Gu family say yesterday."
Qiao Fugui, the son-in-law, has been studying for a few days and taught children to read in a private school in Gujiazhuang.
Generally, there are some people who are well-known in the village. They are young and educated, so they often have to accompany them.
"You said Gu Songming?"
"Yesterday, the eldest young master took his children to the farm to play, and happened to meet me and mentioned it."
Lu Tang suddenly remembered the last time Gu Songming looked for her in private.
Gu Songming wants to cooperate with her...
Thoughts fluctuated, Lu Tang was silent for a moment and smiled, "Did he just tell you, or is there anyone else next to you?"
When he heard Lu Tang ask this, the man smiled and said, "I just told me and told me not to say it out in Gujiazhuang."
Lu Tang subconsciously looked at Qin Mo. Qin Mo shook his head as if nothing happened. Lu Tang withdrew his gaze and smiled and said, "Don't believe him. I don't know what Qiaojiazhuang is about, but I know it instead? Why do we want to relocate? You are all the best land here. When you go there, you are all outsiders. The eyes are not eyes, noses, and the places you plant are also something that others don't want."
Qiao Fugui's youngest son slapped his thigh, "That's it! There is really nothing you can do except those who escape, otherwise anyone who is good or good will be an outsider! I feel relieved if the young master said this. I am afraid that Qiaojiazhuang will move out. If we don't say that this year, we will have to be angry if we go there."
He was completely confused and after he finished speaking, he grinned at Lu Tang.
A simple and innocent young man.
Lu Tang also smiled at him: "Why did you believe this?"
The youngest son chuckled and touched the back of his head, "This is not our Zhuangzi's intention to build a canal. I heard that we would build a dam in our Zhuangzi."
If Qin Mo hadn't told Lu Tang, she wouldn't know about this yet, but she didn't expect that the people in the village knew more than she did.
"Who did you hear of the dam being built?"
Now it’s not just the younger son, but Qiao Fugui and his sons and daughters-in-law speak together.
"Tiezhu said it."
"Didn't the boss ask Tiezhu to pass the message?"
"Don't you build a canal or a dam?"
"I heard that the dam is going to be requisitioned. At that time, the government will come forward to build a new house and give a large amount of subsidies. Everyone is looking forward to it."
"Not to mention new houses and subsidies, just by building dams and canals, it will be much more convenient for us to farm here, so we don't have to rely on the weather for our own income!"
"I heard that Yuyang Town was originally a small village, but later a dam was built there. After three years, the small village became a big town. It was well-connected and lively. Children had good academies for studying and several clinics for medical treatment!"
......
When Lu Tang calmed their emotions, he came out of Qiao Fugui's house and was about to talk to Qin Mo, Qiao Fugui's son-in-law chased him out.
"Young Master Lu stayed."
Lu Tang stamped his feet and looked back at him.
The son-in-law smiled and chased him, looked at Qin Mo, "I have something to say to Master Lu."
This is to avoid Qin Mo.
Lu Tang smiled and said, "Do you want to say what you just said was specially asked by Gu Songming to pass on the message to me?"
The son-in-law's smile suddenly froze and he looked at Lu Tang in surprise.
Lu Tang said slowly: "You said those words to your father-in-law when you knew I came to Qiaojiazhuang. You know that your brother-in-law is a person who can't hold back. Even if I don't come, he will definitely find a way to ask me clearly."
That son-in-law:...
"Are you going to warn them not to spread what you said today?"
This son-in-law is from Gujiazhuang. Gu Songming specifically told him not to spread the words, but he passed them on, which shows that he only wanted to listen to Lu Tang alone.
As for the people from my father-in-law's family...
I guess he, a scholar, has a certain status in his father-in-law's house, and even his brother-in-law still needs to listen to his words.
The man was exposed by Lu Tang and couldn't hold back his face.
Lu Tang smiled and said, "Don't feel uncomfortable. Go back and tell Gu Songming that it's not impossible for him to cooperate with me, but I don't like these small moves behind my back."
After saying that, Lu Tang patted his arm, "When I have time, I like to make friends with educated people like you!"
After being exposed by Lu Tang, the man was worried and felt that he had not done his job well, but after Lu Tang's words, his eyes lit up and he looked at her.
Lu Tang smiled and said, "Go back quickly, the whole family is waiting for you. After staying for a long time, they are afraid that they don't think you have something to do. They have time to go to Qingshui County. In addition to finding Gu Songming, they can also find me."
