Li Laogen also drove the family's ox cart full of grain, waiting in the long convoy. The North Korean woman next to her, carrying a child on her back and holding one in her arms, was not idle all the way.

"I heard from Sister-in-law Zhang next door that their family paid three years of grain tax in advance, and in the end, they could save half of the grain tax and loan for one year. This time, we took out more than half of the family's grain, and we also paid a few more years, and half of the annual grain tax and loan were a few dozen catties. ”

Li Laogen had a gloomy face, turned his head and looked coldly at the excited North Korean woman next to him, and ignored her. The woman may have been too excited, and she didn't see Li Laogen's dissatisfaction, and she was still pinching her fingers with her eyes shining and calculating how much food she could save.

Li Laogen and his family lined up for a long time, and finally lined up with them. Li Laogen had a straight face and drove the ox cart to the grain collection point in the courtyard of the market. A few farmers who helped came up and began to unload bags of corn kernels from the ox cart, then carried them to the side to be weighed, and then shouted loudly the weight of each weighing, and several Far Eastern employees sat behind a desk, constantly recording in a booklet.

An employee of the Far East Company walked over, looked at the grain bubbling up on the ox cart, and said to Li Laogen with a smile: "Brother, there is a lot of grain brought in, and your family is going to pay grain taxes and loans for a few years?" ”

Li Laogen took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Just pay this year's grain tax and loan, and sell the rest of the grain." ”

As soon as his words fell, the employee on the other side was stunned for a moment, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, and it was not until Li Laogen repeated what he had just said again that he was sure.

"This old brother only pays this year's grain tax and loans, and sells all the rest......"

The Far East employee had a loud voice. Almost at the same time, the surrounding grain farmers put down their work, turned their heads in unison, and looked this way. They are all a little incredible, this is obviously not cost-effective, fools know that paying a few more years of grain taxes and loans can save some food.

A North Korean woman from the Lee Lao Geun family. Thinking that he was wrong, he hurriedly ran over with the child in his arms, tugging Li Laogen's clothes, and was about to say something, but was pushed away by Li Laogen.

Seeing her husband glaring at her fiercely, the North Korean woman could only bow her head aggrievedly, but tears rolled in her eyes, causing the child in her arms to cry too.

The surroundings became quiet, except for the cries of Li Laogen's children. Everyone looked at the man with a serious face with complicated expressions. There are puzzles. There are ridicule, and of course there are gratification.

When Li Laogen finished selling the grain in the ox cart, he drove the ox cart out of the market. The North Korean woman behind her, holding the child, did not get into the ox cart as if she was angry, but silently followed the back of the ox cart. Li Laogen looked back at the woman and ignored her.

He had already made up his mind a few days ago, although Li Laogen had no knowledge and didn't understand any big truth. But he knew that at this time. You shouldn't take advantage of the owner.

If the owner hadn't saved him back then, he would have starved to death in Shandong. Since coming to Liaodong, Li Laogen has also lived a good life that he never dreamed of before, and the owner gave him land, so that he can eat three meals a day. Helped him marry a woman and have two children.

If it weren't for the difficulties encountered by the owner, they would not be in such a hurry to buy food from everyone. He always wanted to repay the favor of the owner, and this time, he decided to sell more than half of the family's grain to the owner.

The next few days. The North Korean woman in the family has never given Li Laogen a good face. Although she didn't dare to count him, she would make a lot of noise in everything she did to express her resentment.

Li Laogen didn't say anything, a woman should lose her temper, after all, she is also taking care of her family. Don't look at him in the bazaar, in fact, he has been thinking about the small half of the grain that should have been saved in his dreams these days.

Dozens of catties of food, as long as he thinks about it, it makes him feel distressed to death. Even after they came to Liaodong, life was good. But the peasant family is still living on a budget, not to mention hundreds of catties of grain, even if he loses three catties and five catties, it can make him uncomfortable for a few days.

But distressed is distressed, Li Laogen has no regrets, if he takes advantage of the owner this time, he will not feel any better, as long as he thinks about it, he will also feel uncomfortable.

Although they were busy with the autumn harvest, there was still a lot of work at home, and the two of them were busy until winter without touching the ground. On this day, Li Laogen was cleaning up the autumn vegetables in the vegetable field in the backyard, and although the North Korean woman next to him did not delay, she still didn't have a good face for him.

"Bang...... Bang......"

There was a knock on the door outside, and the North Korean woman glanced at Li Laogen, then stood up and ran to the front yard to open the door. After a while, she ran back in a panic, her face full of nervousness.

"When...... Whoever is at home, is outside...... ...... outside"

Li Laogen frowned, stood up and came to the front yard, and saw a large group of people standing in the courtyard of his house, he only knew the squadron leader and instructor of their squadron in the crowd. But no matter how stupid Li Laogen is, he can see that several of them are definitely not ordinary characters. So he suddenly became nervous, and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

When the squadron leader saw Li Laogen, he hurriedly walked up a few steps, dragged him over, and then introduced to everyone: "He is Li Laogen, a big grain seller in our squadron. Lao Gen, this is the head of the company, they see that you are coming......"

When Li Laogen heard that the person opposite was the head of the company, his face turned white immediately, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and the North Korean woman next to him was even more desperate to pull Li Laogen's clothes and hide behind Li Laogen, looking unsightly.

Seeing Li Laogen's restrained appearance, a person on the opposite side took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Li Laogen, and then said with a smile: "I came to you today to thank you for your support to the Far Eastern Company. Thank you so much for thinking about the company at this time......"

Originally, Li Laogen's brain was blank, but when he listened to the words of the leader opposite, he suddenly felt a stream of hot blood rush to the top of his head in an instant, the blood all over his body was boiling, and his eyes were not hot.

He said excitedly: "My Li Laogen has no knowledge, if it weren't for the owner who saved me, my Li Laogen would have been gnawed by wild dogs and there were no bones left, I ...... My Li Laogen's life will be the owner's ...... in the future."

When he said this, he didn't know why, but he couldn't say anything anymore, and tears flowed...... (To be continued......)
