Just as she thought, Jiang Jianye was helpless after hearing this.
Although he was very worried about someone taking advantage of the loophole, the whole village was particularly resistant now, and his two sons were the first to bear the brunt.
Spring plowing is over, and the forest farm ends work later than before. Although they take care of the food at night, they are still as hungry as a wolf when they come home. The youngest son is lying on the kang with a pillow, and if they are asked to patrol at this time... I am afraid it will be harder than climbing to the sky.
.
Cheng Xue saw his difficulty, thought for a moment and said:
"Uncle Jiang, since there is no way to patrol, you can remind everyone to be more alert at night, don't be careless, and pay attention to the door."
"Well, this is feasible." Jiang Jianye nodded slowly.
"By the way, Uncle Jiang, do you have enough food?"
"...It's enough to eat, what's wrong? Isn't your house not enough to eat? No way."
Although he hesitated, he told the truth at least. Cheng Xue smiled and shook his head.
"My family has enough to eat, so I'll ask. I'm going to town with Tangtang today to sell medicine. Deji Hall charges a very high price for the medicine, and there's still more left. I felt something was wrong, so I asked more, but I didn't expect it.
I heard news about another war in the south. I guessed that food prices will rise, so I asked."
Jiang Jianye suddenly realized it, and he was glad that he didn't hide it from her just now, otherwise he would have to hide in the ground at this moment.
"Tiedan Niang, try it quickly. This is a cake baked with white wormwood. It's just come out of the pan." Jiang Jianye's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qi, brought the plate in and placed it warmly on the table.
Cheng Xue took a piece and put it in her mouth and nodded.
"This cake is good, the taste of mugwort is not strong, and it is delicious."
Mrs. Qi became interested, sat sideways on the kang and said:
"I think the smell of mugwort is not strong, so I soak it in cold water after blanching it. After soaking it a few times, the smell will fade."
Jiang Jianye stood up when he saw this, straightened his clothes and said:
"You sit there for a while, it's rare to come over. I'll go out and inform everyone."
"Then I also..."
Before Cheng Xue finished speaking, Mrs. Qi spoke first——
"Okay, okay, go and get busy. Tiedan Niang is sitting here for a while, it's rare to come here."
This was the first time she had seen such an enthusiastic Mr. Qi.
When others went out, Mrs. Qi pushed the plate forward again and said:
"Eat, Tiedan, you're welcome."
"No, Auntie, I just ate in the town, so I'm not hungry now."
The more enthusiastic she is, the less Cheng Xue dares to eat. It's better to forget it and find an opportunity to escape.
"That's right, Tiedan Niang, I want you to help ask your uncle if there are any girls of the right age? It's time for my fifth grader to get married, and I'm looking for someone in Yujiatun."
The two boys from the Dong family got engaged two days in a row, which is a legend in the village.
The time between the two is not long, so it is easy for others to compare them.
Now the Dong Bin family's house has been built, and the chickens and ducks have been raised, just waiting for the new wife to come over.
Looking at Dong Hong again, although he separated his family and lived in another life, he did not come out to build a house.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t have enough money.
The bride's family's wedding gift is quite satisfactory, but if we use the money from the divided family to build a house, we won't have to live that life.
It is estimated that she was interested in Yu Ni's parents bringing back all the wedding gifts, so she decided to marry her daughter-in-law there.
Cheng Xue shook her head with a smile and said:
"Auntie, I'm really sorry. Logically, please ask me to ask for help. I can't refuse. But last time, my uncle told me that there has been no girl of the right age for the past five years. Yu Ni
If it weren't for the high price of the wedding gift, it wouldn't have been delayed until now."
After experiencing a Dong family, she said that she would never help others to secure matchmaking or prostitutes. Especially when she broke up with the Dong family, this psychological shadow will not dissipate for a while.
Mr. Qi said angrily "Ah" and was no longer enthusiastic.
Cheng Xue also took the opportunity to leave quickly and stopped staying.
Before I got home, I heard the sweet sound of the piano.
If she were in modern times, Li Yue would definitely become what everyone calls "other people's children", but in Liangyan... she is destined to not learn much, and her performance is also limited.
Spring plowing is over, and the house is very quiet during the day. Li Tian and Li Huai occasionally quarrel, which only lasts for a few minutes, and they get over again after a while. Cheng Xue never cares about the two siblings grabbing things.
Occasionally, Li Yue would say something like "Tian Tian, darling, you are my sister", but she would stop her and educate her. She did not ask her sister to give in, let alone asking a four-year-old child to be generous, which is inherently difficult.
Under Jiang Jianye's sincere reminder, I can feel that the atmosphere in Wanghe Village is different. Especially at night, not only the courtyard door is locked, but also the house door is locked, so check carefully.
Yu Zhao still went to the newly built house to light a fire after work every day. The house was almost dry, and now he just had to move the furniture in. The moving day had also been set, it was May 18th, the day calculated by the seventh uncle.
, everything goes well that day...
……
After May 15th, Mrs. Wang came over with her son Yu Yingjie. With the help of Cheng Xue, she caught ten chicken cubs at Li Laosan's house.
I don’t know how many males and females there are. You’ll know when they grow up.
The chicken pens were all set aside earlier. When ten chickens entered, the sound of "chirp, chirp, chirp..." was very lively.
"Sister-in-law, we must help us persuade our parents-in-law on the day of moving. How can the eldest son come here? They have no reason to stay at home. At that time, five rooms were built to provide space for the old couple. Yu Zhao just mentioned,
They just said they wanted to separate the family, so...what should I do?"
After hearing this, Cheng Xue's head buzzed.
The anime talks about "Conan's constitution", but she thinks she has a "separate constitution", which is annoying!
"Why did my good uncle want to separate the family?"
"I also want to know. If I ask them the reason, I'll mention it when we move. I'm so angry about it that my mouth is full of bubbles."
As he spoke, Wang opened his mouth and pointed at the position of his cheek.
I have a big mouth ulcer and it hurts all the time.
"I have some medicinal materials for removing fire at home. I'll get some for you later and boil it in water to drink."
"Whether you drink water or not is of secondary importance. The most important thing now is not to separate the family. How can the eldest son not take care of himself in old age?" Wang's face was full of gloom.
Cheng Xue didn't know how to persuade her, but she felt that based on ancient people's thinking, this shouldn't be the case.
Just as he was talking, Guo Sanyu's wife strolled into the courtyard and said with a smile:
"I saw that the courtyard door was open, so I came in. What are you busy with? Let's move in soon."
Wang nodded in agreement and said:
"Please sister-in-law take care of me in the future. Please forgive me for any inconveniences."
"That's too polite to say. I'm not a foreigner. I'm not an outsider. Do you need anything? I'll help you."
"No, I'm already busy." Wang declined.
With such an attitude, she didn't stay for long and left after saying a few words.
Mrs. Wang took Cheng Xue's arm and entered the room, looked at the mattress cover and quilt on the kang, and smiled.
It has to be my sister-in-law, who has prepared everything...
