Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Chapter 179: The first time I saw someone happy with something to do

The two of them took Leng Youran around the city.

When they reached the northeast corner, they stopped and pointed to the empty space over there and said, "Ran'er, we wanted to build a house here before, but we felt it was a bit far from the city, so we haven't done anything yet. Do you think this place is feasible?"

Leng Youran looked in the direction Leng Chengye pointed. The place was very large, and there was a dry forest behind it.

It's still some distance from the city, but it's a quiet place.

"Okay, then let's use this place as a factory. I'll give the blueprints to Dad when we get back, and you can have people build it according to the blueprints." She had made up her mind that this place didn't need to be built too complicated, it could just be built like modern factories.

"Okay, I'll have someone come and measure it later. By the way, have you decided how big you want it to be?"

Leng Youran thought for a moment and said, "Let's divide out two acres of land first!"

"Okay, then I'll have someone come and deal with the weeds here later."

"Dad, some of those people are almost well now, and they can do the weeding work. Let them come here and do what they can!" Leng Youran said this after thinking for a while.

It's not that she can't afford to support those people, but she is afraid that continuing to support them will only encourage the people's laziness.

The people in other places have already started to become self-reliant, so there is no reason to keep supporting those people in the city who have recovered.

Leng Chengdong didn't wait for Leng Chengye to speak, and said first: "I will arrange this matter." After that, he turned and left.

The father and daughter both smiled when they saw him leave.

"Your second uncle has been telling me these days that every time you arrange something for him, he just adds to the list and never thinks of him."

Leng Youran secretly stuck out her tongue. If her second uncle knew that she had just arranged for her eldest uncle and the others to go out, he would come to settle the score with him.

"Hey, Dad, tell Second Uncle to send some people to the surrounding farmland these past few days. Zhu Dazhi only harvests one crop of rice here all year round, so the land must be in bad condition. I'm thinking about dividing some land to grow other things. It's almost March, so it's time to plant spring wheat."

"Spring wheat?" Leng Chengye was surprised as it was the first time he heard of this thing.

Leng Youran frowned, "Hasn't Chun Xiaomai's father heard of it?"

Leng Chengye shook his head blankly. "No, I only know there is wheat. And there's no mention of wheat being grown around the North. Ran'er, are the spring wheat you're talking about the same as wheat?"

"Well, yes, it's just spring sowing." Leng Youran actually forgot for a moment that he was living in ancient times, and no one here had heard of spring wheat.

Soybeans, corn, these...

"Dad, have you heard of soybeans and corn?"

Leng Chengye still shook his head.

Leng Youran was extremely happy to see him like this.

Hahahaha, that’s good, that’s good, it seems like she can still show her talents.

While thinking about it, I planned in my mind what to do next.

While he was thinking, Leng Chengdong came hurriedly with a group of people.

Leng Youran heard a noisy sound behind him, and he withdrew his thoughts and looked behind him.

Leng Chengdong was seen walking in front, followed by a group of people.

As soon as Leng Chengdong walked up to the two of them, he said, "Brother, Ran'er, you can't blame me for this. I just went to tell them about weeding, and they couldn't sit still. They said there was no need to wait until tomorrow, and they would clean the land today."

As soon as Leng Chengdong finished speaking, someone in the crowd echoed, "Yes, Miss Leng, Master Leng, we came here willingly with the Second Master. We've been idle for so long and have wanted to stretch our muscles. Now we are very happy to be able to do something within our ability."

"Yes, Mr. Leng, Miss Leng, we have been thinking about what we can do these days. Now that there is work, we can't sit idle any longer."

The sounds coming one after another gradually reached Leng Youran's ears.

Leng Youran looked at the group of people opposite with a smile on his face.

She raised her hand, and the people seemed to understand what she meant and fell silent.

After the crowd quieted down, Leng Youran said loudly, "Okay, now that everyone has rested, let's stretch our legs. But don't be too stubborn. If you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up."

"Don't worry, Miss Leng, we are fine now."

"Yes, very good."

One person takes the lead, and others immediately follow.

Without waiting for Leng Youran to say anything, they walked past the three of them and headed towards the open space in the northeast corner.

When they arrived at the open space, they didn't need Leng Chengye and the others' arrangements and just scattered around to pull up the weeds.

Because it was snowy season before, the ground was still relatively moist, so it was effortless for those people to pull out the weeds. They didn't even need a hoe and could just pull them out with their hands.

Although their hands were busy, the people's faces were filled with smiles.

From a distance, there is a sense of peace and tranquility.

"Ran'er, it seems that what you did for them was worth it."

does it worth?

right!

It’s worth it for such a group of people who have been devastated by life to still have such a smile now!

"As long as it's worth it, then you and Second Uncle can watch over here. There's no need to overwork them. I'll be going back first."

She also wants to go into the space to take a look.

Leng Chengye looked at the impetuous Leng Youran and shook his head.

"Brother, what are you dissatisfied with having a daughter like this? Look at that girl Ran'er, her head is full of ideas."

"It's because she's so opinionated that I feel bad for her. This kid is so busy all day long that she never has time to rest."

Leng Chengdong fell silent after hearing this.

His elder brother immediately killed the conversation.

He, an elder, was not as good as the little girl. Faced with such an "empty city", he couldn't find what to do and had to wait for the little girl to arrange things.

Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ugh......"

"What are you doing?" Leng Chengye was confused by his sigh.

"Why else could it be? I was just wondering when our niece, with her good brain, would remember her second uncle and arrange some serious work for him. Apart from asking me to look after those lands at the beginning, I was just a sideline in everything he did afterwards. Sigh..."

Leng Chengye slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering what Leng Youran had just said, "Don't worry, Ran'er just assigned you a task, saying that you..."

Leng Chengdong was so happy to get the mission that he jumped three feet high and asked several times, "Am I the one who leads the team? Not just a sidekick?"

Leng Chengye was so annoyed by him that his head hurt and he didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.

Seeing that the people didn't need anyone to look after them, he walked towards the construction site in the east of the city.

Leng Chengdong was left alone there, laughing foolishly.
