This didn't happen before, why is it so advanced now?
Although there are not many supplies, it is also a joyful thing to have the consumed items come back.
At least, with this trump card, Zhang Xiaoying will be more confident.
Strength is the truth!
Zhang Xiaoying didn't have time to sigh for too long.
The villagers said they would prepare a banquet for Zhang Xiaoying's return.
So early in the morning, the Xu family was bustling with activity.
They had obviously convinced Xu Qinglin and the others early on and had already discussed what to do.
At this moment they are all arranging everyone's work.
Since it was cloudy today and there was no sign of rain, they planned to set up a banquet in the grain drying field.
Every household brought out chairs, bowls, chopsticks, etc., and carried them to the grain drying field.
Zhang Xiaoying originally wanted to help, but everyone refused.
"From the Guitian family, you are a major contributor to our village when there is a flood this time. If it weren't for you, everyone would have no way of surviving. On a day like today, just be responsible and wait, and you don't have to do anything!"
"That's right, that's right, otherwise you're looking down on us, and we won't dare to go to your house again in the future."
"Hahaha, aren't you afraid that Auntie will be angry if you say this? When the time comes, they won't be able to spare us!"
"Don't be afraid, she is reasonable, hahaha, right aunt?"
…
Everyone was talking and laughing, it was very lively.
Yu Yang and Wang Jia also rushed back near noon.
Both of them had lost weight, and the sun had been very strong in the past few days, which made them very tanned. Zhang Xiaoying almost didn't recognize them.
"Hahaha, how come you two are so stupid?" Zhang Xiaoying couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If it weren't for my good eyesight, I would have regarded you as outsiders."
"Master, don't laugh at us, don't you do the same?" Wang Jia snorted, "Let's not laugh at anyone."
Yu Yang only said hello to Zhang Xiaoying, and then asked: "Master, I heard that the plague has been suppressed? Guangxing County has received your advice. Everyone pays attention to water use, but no plague has occurred."
"That's good. Has the dike been repaired? Has the accumulated water been drained away?"
"Xian Tongzhi has already come up with a plan and is arranging for people to dig canals for drainage. In about ten days, it will be almost completed," Yu Yang said.
"So good."
"Thank you for your hard work, Master."
"What are you talking about? By the way, Ayang, I have something to tell you."
Wang Jia immediately went to the grain drying field.
"But what did Qiu Shiyong say to Master?" Yu Yang got straight to the point, "Master, you don't have to take it seriously."
"He asked me to convey your father's message that he hopes you will return to Beijing." Zhang Xiaoying did not hide anything.
Yu Yang shook his head, "It's impossible, he won't let Qiu Shiyong convey it. Master, the relationship between our brothers is complicated, so except for me, you must not believe the words of the ministers of the court. Even if he wants to test you, he won't
It’s such a roundabout way.”
Zhang Xiaoying smiled and said, "I will make my own judgment and will not easily ask anyone to sow discord between our master and apprentice. But Ayang, will this assassination matter be settled in the end?"
Yu Yang was silent for a moment and then nodded.
"It's impossible for your family to drink a bowl of water evenly." Zhang Xiaoying said bluntly, "You know the rest better than me."
Yu Yang said: "Master, I understand. By the way, Yunfei is still in the city. Do you want someone to send him back?"
"No, just stay in the city to recuperate." Zhang Xiaoying didn't want anyone to know the extent of Xu Yunfei's injury. It's good to stay in the city.
"good."
Yu Yang told Zhang Xiaoying other things about the flood, and then he went to the grain drying field to help.
This is a habit developed in the Xu family.
As soon as he arrived at the grain drying field, he was surrounded by children and asked questions accumulated during this period.
Due to the flood, Yu Yang was running around in the city all day and could not take care of the children's studies.
The children learned some words and were very conscious. They summarized what they didn't understand and found time for Xu Wencong to answer. If Xu Wencong couldn't answer, they just waited for Yu Yang to come back and ask for the answer.
Yu Yang himself is not a very enthusiastic person.
But during these days in Dafu Village, he was also infected by the simplicity and kindness of the children, and he got along very well with them.
So, Yu Yang, who was ready to help, took them to the newly built school.
When everyone saw this, they all smiled.
"As long as Ayang is here, sooner or later our village will be able to raise people!"
"That's definitely possible. My brat used to jump up and down all day and refused to learn anything. Since he started studying with Ayang, he's become a good boy now. Even if he's not good at reading, he may be able to read and write.
It is also the pride of our family.”
"Is this all thanks to the Guitian family? We all misunderstood her in the past. Without her, where would our Dafu Village be today? Anyway, my words are here. Anyone who goes against her will have trouble with me!"
"By the way, Zhao Chunbao, did you bother her?"
"No, no, no, it's Ah Lin she's looking for. She didn't stop Ah Lin, so let's not say anything."
…
Zhang Xiaoying was nearby, listening to everyone's conversation, and sighed: This place is different from her previous life. Sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. This is a stable world!
It is true that everyone has their own little thoughts, but as long as they don't hurt others, it doesn't matter. Their simplicity can really impress Zhang Xiaoying.
She is also willing to do something for them.
In the morning, Zhang Xiaoying specially asked Xu Changsheng to add two dishes and let everyone try potatoes and sweet potatoes.
No one had ever tasted these two things before, and when the banquet started, everyone was full of praise.
Zhang Xiaoying took the opportunity to tell everyone what these two things were.
"The shredded ones are potatoes, and this one is shredded sweet potatoes. I discovered them when I was digging bamboo shoots in the mountains this year. They were too watery at the time. After I tasted them, I found they tasted good and were not poisonous, so I dug them back and asked me to grow them.
"I didn't expect the yield per acre to be so high, and it can also fill my stomach. I'm thinking that this year's late rice has been flooded. How about everyone try growing this? I can lend you the seeds first, and you can return them after the harvest.
how do I?"
The villagers were shocked.
A farmer who was older than Zhang Xiaoying asked: "Guitian family, you said this thing is in the mountains, why haven't you seen it? There should be a lot of them on the mountains!"
"There really aren't many of them. I've looked for them all around, and they only found them in one place. Maybe the wild boars were eaten elsewhere and couldn't be transformed, so they were pulled out and allowed to survive. Before they could spread their branches and leaves, they...
Have you been discovered by me?" Zhang Xiaoying said.
Liu Shitou took over and said, "It is possible. There are some wild fruits on the mountain. Isn't there another place in one place? That is, birds eat the fruits and fly to us to pull out the seeds and survive. It is also possible for wild boars to survive.
Eat things we don’t have from other places and pull out the seeds.”
With Liu Shitou's words, no one doubted anything anymore.
The best thing they are curious about is how much potatoes and sweet potatoes can be harvested in a year. "Can one acre harvest two hundred catties?"
