The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 174 Looking for the County Magistrate

Ye Xinran smiled, looked at everyone and said, "I won't charge any money. I said I want to thank you all."

"Oh? You don't charge any money!"

"How can that be embarrassing! We were paid for helping the Xiao family build the house, how can this be considered helping!"

"If we want to express our gratitude, it's us who are thanking you, Madam Ye!"

Seeing that everyone understood what was going on, the village head was very relieved.

This is what the villagers of a village should do!

"Then this can be considered as another contribution made by the Xiao family to our village!

I still say the same thing, there will always be a place reserved for the two of you in our village's ancestral hall!"

"What a good man, what a good man!"

"That's right! We have benefited a lot from following Madam Ye."

The head of the village looked at the villagers who were beaming with joy, and said with great pride: "Look at how generous they are. With Madam Ye, the villagers in our village are really blessed!"

"Then how do you use this thresher?"

"Uncle Lizheng, this precious thing is so precious, what if it gets broken?"

People gathered around the thresher and started discussing it, and everyone wanted to touch this new thing.

The village head looked at everyone and said, "It's getting colder this year, and everyone has almost finished their housework.

Tomorrow, every household will send one person to learn how to use this thresher."

He paused for a moment, then asked Ye Xinran for her opinion: "Ms. Ye, can you please take a moment to explain to us how to use this thing tomorrow?"

Ye Xinran nodded: "Okay."

"That's good!"

The village head said, "The things are placed in my yard. If you want to use them, you can bring the rice to my house. Next year, we will bring this machine to the field and everyone can take turns using it. It won't be so troublesome."

"I will listen to Uncle Li Zheng."

No one had any objection to what the village head said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Ye!"

"Yes, Madam Ye, if there is any work at home, please don't hesitate to let us help!"

"That's right! Otherwise we will feel guilty!"

"It's just a small favor, don't take it too seriously."

Ye Xinran said.

After the crowd dispersed, the village head looked at Ye Xinran and hesitated for a while before asking:

"Xinran, this is the first time I've seen a thresher in my life. You said this thing is so useful. Can I tell the county magistrate about it and let him take a look at it and promote it in the county?

They are all farmers. Every year at this time they have to get up early and work late into the night.

If we had this thing, we could save a lot of effort!"

Ye Xinran smiled, "Uncle Lizheng, I also thought of what you said.

Things are made to be used by people, and we don't need to hide something like this. Uncle Lizheng, go tell the county magistrate when you have time."

After what happened last time, Ye Xinran had a much worse impression of Qiao Zhengshan.

But he is the county magistrate after all, and the parent official of Yuntong County.

As villagers living here, we still can't go past him when we encounter problems.

However, Ye Xinran did not intend to take the lead.

Just let the village head handle it himself.

"Okay, now I know what's going on with your words!"

The head of the village already had an idea in mind.

The next day, Ye Xinran went to the village head's house to demonstrate how to use the thresher and explained all the precautions.

Everyone learns by doing, and because it is easy to use, they learn very quickly.

In the afternoon, villagers came one after another to bring their own rice to the village head's house to thresh it.

The work that I had originally planned to finish before winter was now all done in less than an afternoon thanks to this machine.

The thresher also separates the rice grains and the empty rice husks directly, saving them a lot of trouble.

Everyone finds this thing more and more useful.

I heard that this was done by someone hired by Ye Xinran's brother. When Lu Changqing came back in the evening, everyone took the initiative to greet him for the first time.

"Mr. Lu is back from school!"

"Mr. Lu came back early today!"

Lu Changqing was flattered.

He responded to everyone's enthusiasm in a daze.

After arriving home, he immediately reported to Ye Xinran: "Sister, what's going on with those villagers? Why did they all take the initiative to talk to me today?

Did you say anything to them? "

"Not at all!"

At that time, Ye Xinran was setting the dishes. While urging him to wash his hands, she said, "The villagers are the most simple and honest. They will treat anyone who treats them well.

They are thanking you for making them that thresher!"

"But sister, wasn't that what you came up with?"

Lu Changqing did not dare to take credit for himself.

Ye Xinran said seriously: "You drew the blueprint, and you hired someone to make the machine. How can it be considered my contribution? At most, I just gave you an idea."

Lu Changqing wanted to argue, but Ye Xinran said, "Besides, I don't want any fame. If there is anything I need to deal with in the future, I will leave it all to you."

Lu Changqing knew that his sister didn't like this kind of thing that attracted him to the limelight, so he had to agree.

"This thing is simple, and they can communicate with each other on how to use it. I don't think there will be any need for us to step in."

He thinks simply.

But the village head thought further.

The next day, the head of the village went to the county government office to report the matter of the thresher to Magistrate Qiao.

County Magistrate Qiao is not good at solving cases, but he is still very concerned about the people's livelihood.

This matter in particular may also be related to his future political achievements.

After hearing what the head of the village said, he immediately became interested.

"What does the thresher look like? Did you bring it today?"

The village chief shook his head: "It's too heavy to carry."

The county magistrate was helpless: "I didn't bring it, and you can't explain what it looks like, so why don't you come and tell me?"

Seeing the innocent look on the village head's face, he had no choice but to say, "Forget it, I'll send someone to your village to get it tomorrow."

The village head immediately refused: "That won't work!"

"how?"

The county magistrate was puzzled.

"Our villagers are using that thresher these days! If it were moved to the county government office, the work there would be cut off!"

Qiao Zhengshan slammed his hand on the table in anger, "You old fox, you can't do this or that, do you just want me to go to your village?"

The village head bowed his head and whispered, "I didn't dare to disturb the master to make this trip. If you are not in a hurry, you can actually come later."

Qiao Zhengshan knew Zhang Yasuo's character.

He has more than a dozen villages and more than a dozen village heads under his jurisdiction, and more than half of them are old acquaintances.

Everyone treated him with great respect, except Zhang Yasuo, who not only dared to borrow money from him on credit, but also dared to ask him to go to their village.

Don't be fooled by the look on his face, he's definitely up to something bad!

The county magistrate thought to himself.

But there was nothing he could do, because he was interested in other people's thresher!
