In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 165 It's so good!

"Yes."

A look of disbelief flashed across Chen Lian's eyes. Once upon a time, her family couldn't even get enough bran to eat, and they could only hide in their room every day, covering themselves with tattered quilts to minimize their energy consumption.

Now, she and her grandmother can eat white flour steamed buns every day, and occasionally even have a meat meal, greatly improving their living standards.

All of this was brought about by Chen Dao.

"Thank you, Brother Dao!"

While silently thanking her, Chen Lian picked up a piece of pork and put it into He Xuehua's bowl: "Grandma, try some pork."

"it is good!"

He Xuehua smiled with her eyes narrowed, put the pork in her mouth and chewed. As soon as the pork entered her mouth, the rich aroma of oil filled her mouth. With each bite, more oil burst in her mouth. The unique aroma of animal fat made He Xuehua nod involuntarily.

On the other side, Chen Lian also picked up a piece of pork, chewing it while her eyes were slightly narrowed.

When buying pork, Chen Lian specifically chose a cut with more fat, that is, pork with a good balance of fat and lean meat. In Chen Dao's previous life in China, probably only the older generation could stomach this kind of oily pork.

But in Chen Lian's opinion, fatty meat tastes much better than lean meat.

The rich aroma of oil was not cloying at all for Chen Lian; on the contrary, she found it exceptionally delicious.

"Grandma, this pork smells so good!"

Chen Lian exclaimed in admiration.

He Xuehua nodded in agreement and asked curiously, "Xiao Lian, what did you do in the city today?"

Speaking of this, Chen Lian perked up and began to chatter on, "Grandma, let me tell you, the city is so lively! It's packed with people everywhere, and it's huge! Aunt Wu and I spent half a day there, and we still couldn't see all of the East Market!"

The two ate the greasy pork while talking about Chen Lian's trip to the city, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Meanwhile, many households in Chenjia Village were also eating meat with steamed buns, their faces full of satisfied smiles.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

The next day, as the sky began to lighten, Li Qiang and Li Mu, who had woken up early, stepped out of their house.

"Good morning, village chief."

Outside Li Qiang's house, Zhao Kang and Li Shi were already waiting. In addition to the two of them, Li Qiang's sister Li Qian and her husband Wang Yuan were also there.

Yesterday, after Li Mu went to Li Qian's house to inform her of the situation, Li Qian made the decision to marry her daughter to Chenjia Village almost without hesitation.

However, before that, Li Qian planned to go to Chenjia Village to find out more about the situation. After all, based solely on what Li Mu said, it would be difficult for Li Qian to fully believe that Chenjia Village was really that good.

"You're all here? Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Qiang led the group toward the farmland, intending to cross it to reach Chenjia Village.

"Big brother."

As Li Qian walked along the road, she couldn't help but ask, "In Chenjia Village, is it really true that every household eats white flour steamed buns?"

"Would I lie to you?"

Just then, Li Qiang, who had reached the horizon, pointed to the verdant greenery in the distance and said, "Chen Dao from Chenjia Village is a very capable man. He can grow grain in this cold winter. The people of Chenjia Village are living a very good life."

Following the direction Li Qiang pointed, Li Qian and the others saw the scattered greenery in the farmland.

"This……"

Li Qian's husband, Wang Yuan, opened his mouth, his pupils contracting.

Zhao Kang, Li Shi, and Li Qian also looked dazed, feeling a bit confused.

Despite the frigid weather, a large number of lush green crops had grown in the fields of Chenjia Village, which was contrary to their understanding of farming.

"hey-hey!"

Seeing the bewildered faces of the crowd, Li Mu couldn't help but chuckle to himself, finding it quite amusing.

because……

When Li Mu first saw the wheat planted in Chenjia Village sprout, he reacted in the same way.

"Big brother."

Li Qian stared blankly at the wheat in the field and subconsciously asked, "How did Chenjia Village manage to do that?"

Although Li Qian is the younger sister of the village chief of Xiahe Village, it doesn't mean she doesn't need to farm. In fact, the entire Xiahe Village, including Li Qiang, are experienced farmers who are extremely knowledgeable about farming.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Li Qian was so shocked at this moment. In such cold weather, even cold-resistant winter wheat could not be planted. How did Chenjia Village manage to grow wheat in such weather?

"I don't know either."

Li Qiang shook his head and said, "All I know is that these are grain seeds produced from Chenjia Village's old rice."

After saying that, Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity... there aren't many of these grain seeds, otherwise maybe our village could have planted them too."

"Wow~"

Just as Li Qiang was feeling regretful, two huge dogs approached from a distance and appeared in front of everyone, staring at them warily, looking ready to attack at any moment.

"Rhubarb, and yellow rhubarb."

Li Qiang smiled and waved to the two dogs. Having visited Chenjia Village many times, he was no longer so afraid of them. He knew very well that as long as he didn't steal or damage farmland, Dahuang and Erhuang wouldn't attack.

As for the way Da Huang and Er Huang were baring their teeth at this moment, it was probably because they had brought along strangers like Li Qian and Zhao Kang.

"Auntie, don't be afraid!"

Seeing Li Qian's somewhat fearful expression, Li Mu smiled and reassured her, "These are Da Huang and Er Huang, who are responsible for guarding the farmland in Chenjia Village. As long as we don't have any bad intentions, they won't attack us."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian and Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief. The two dogs were indeed too big and looked somewhat frightening.

"Wow~"

Big Yellow barked at Li Qiang, tilting its head towards Li Qian and the others as if asking who they were.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiang quickly explained, "These are people from our Xiahe Village. They're going to Chenjia Village to take care of some business. They won't damage the farmland."

Upon hearing this, Da Huang nodded very humanely and, together with Er Huang, made way for Li Qiang and the others to pass.

"This dog can understand human speech?"

Following behind Li Qiang, Li Qian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise that these two dogs were far too intelligent. Just a moment ago, she almost thought that Li Qiang was talking to a person.

"These two dogs are no ordinary dogs."

Li Qiang lowered his voice and said, "I heard from Chen He, the village chief of Chenjia Village, that these two dogs are equivalent to eighth-rank martial artists. If you encounter them in the future, be sure not to provoke them!"

Eighth-rank martial artist?

Li Qian, Wang Yuan, Zhao Kang, and Li Shi were all stunned!

They didn't know what the eighth rank meant, but they had heard of martial artists.

Even in Xiahe Village, which is far from the county seat, people have some knowledge of martial arts practitioners.
