"Auntie, I want you to help me find out who has more vegetables in the village. I want to buy some vegetables from her."
Yan Shiqing has no land of her own, so now most of the food at home is given by the villagers.
The family was about to start building a house, and she couldn't just provide money and leave everything else alone.
When Youhua heard that Yan Shiqing wanted to buy vegetables, she disagreed a little and said: "What are you buying vegetables for? What do you want to eat? You can just pluck it from my aunt's vegetable garden."
"This can't be done! I'm not just buying it for myself. The main reason is that my family will be building a house in a few days. Even if the villagers won't be eating at home then, I have to prepare some snacks and so on."
When Yan Shiqing said this, she looked at Ruan Yang: "By the way, uncle, when the villagers came to build a house, we agreed before that if they didn't include food, it would be ten cents a day, and if they included a meal, it would be eight cents a day. I don't know which one they chose.
?”
Ruan Yang knew that she was planning to prepare food, so he said: "Everyone said that we should go home to eat. After all, it's just an extra meal at home, so I won't cause you any trouble."
When Yan Shiqing heard that she was going home to eat, she felt relieved.
If this was eaten at her house, it would not be a matter of one or two days. She is not good at cooking, so it would not be a problem to rely on Mrs. Ruan to support her. After all, she is older.
Besides, the water in Ruanjiakeng is limited. Even if she wants to build a house, she will be allowed more, but after all, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to cooking a lot of meals.
If they all go back to eat at home, her family only needs to make an afternoon snack a day, which is better.
It’s nothing more than some rice noodles, pastries, sweet water and the like!
After hearing Yan Shiqing's words, Youhua said: "The vegetables in the fields now are just the same. Every household in the village has them, and they're not worth much. If you want them, I'll ask later."
"Okay, let's trouble Auntie! By the way, Auntie, tell An Sheng that after the ancestral hall is finished, ask him how many medicinal materials are left here and what are the shortcomings, so that I can go back to the town to buy some."
"good!"
After Yan Shiqing left, Xiaohua looked at her man and couldn't help nagging: "Yesterday morning, there were people in the village who were unhappy because they gave out money. They said it was all for the sake of our family.
Yinzi. He also said that there has never been a village like this. Yan Shiqing has the backing of our family, so she is really making a lot of money. Now let’s see, who is making the money?”
Ruan Yang glared at her: "There are always a few short-sighted people, what do you care about with them? With the ability of the poetic girl, our village does not help or invite, but some people help and invite others
How much money does it cost to set up a female household? But what do we get? Not to mention, with her here, how convenient it is for us villagers to go to the doctor. As for building a house, wait for that house.
If it is built down, how can the family only earn forty or fifty cents?"
Xiaohua was glared at by her man, and she felt a little unhappy and said: "Why are you glaring at me? Am I such a short-sighted person? If nothing else, it's because the poetic girl is willing to spend an hour a day teaching the village.
The children's calligraphy practice is worth more than this money. The people in their Yangjia Village are blind, but we are not all blind. Well, if I don't tell you, I have to help ask who has extra vegetables to sell."
Ruan Yang hurriedly grabbed her and said, "I'm going to ring the bell and ask the villagers to gather at the ancestral hall. Let's talk about this together, and every family in the province will run away!"
"good!"
The clock in Ruanjiakeng is under the big tree next to the ancient well. This is the center of the village. Villagers usually like to come here to sit.
On this day, the bell that had not been used for many years was rung. The villagers who were working in the fields looked up at the village one by one, and then headed towards the ancestral hall in twos and threes.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the villagers from Ruanjiakeng gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and even Yan Shiqing and Mrs. Ruan arrived.
Ruan Yang glanced at them one by one and saw that no family was left behind, then he invited Yan Shiqing and Mrs. Ruan up and said: "I've called everyone here today. I have a few things to say, and I want to talk to you all."
It’s related to myself.”
The impetuous villager couldn't wait to say after Ruan Yang finished speaking: "Village Chief, just tell me what is going on!"
"That's right, don't be so pretentious, you won't have to do corvee again, right?"
In the past, villagers would perform corvee service from the winter to the twelfth lunar month. Will it not be so early this year? xdw8
Ruan Yang saw that after the villagers talked about corvee, some people's expressions changed on the spot, and they hurriedly said: "It's not about corvee, it's a good thing, and it's related to the miracle doctor Yan Shiqingyan!"
At this moment, some women with short-sighted eyes first breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that they were not doing corvee labor, and then said in a moderate voice: "What good thing can it do? It won't cost us money again, right?"
"
When Youhua heard this, her face turned dark. Before she could give her a lecture, she heard the mother-in-law beside the woman say: "Shut up, if you say one more thing, believe it or not, I will ask Dali to send you back to your parents' home right away!"
When the woman heard this, her eyes flickered, and then her neck shrank, but her face showed reluctance: "I know!"
Ruan Yang shook his head when he saw this and said: "There are only four things I want to say today. First, it is likely to rain today. Everyone should seize the time to finish the work at hand so that we can build a house for the poetic girl later. Second
, Poetic Girl promised to spend an hour every day teaching children to read when she has free time. Three, if any of you have vegetables to sell, come to my place to register. Four, I plan to clean up this ancestral hall, and half of it will be used for children's reading.
Half of the land is used as a medical clinic for Shiqing Girl, what do you think?"
As soon as Ruan Yang finished speaking, the villagers present exploded into laughter. Everyone said with joy on their faces: "We have no objection, we all follow your arrangements, village chief!"
"This is great. My dog will also be able to read in the future, so we no longer have to worry about being cheated when we go out."
"We also have a medical center in our village, so we no longer have to worry about running out."
"Village chief, how do you count this bundle?"
"Village Chief, I have food at home, who wants it? If it's Dr. Yan's family who wants it, then they won't sell it and I'll give it to them. I'll give it to you as much as you want every day!"
…
Ruan Yang had never thought about the bundle. Now that someone suggested it, he subconsciously looked at Yan Shiqing: "Shiqing girl, what do you think of this bundle?"
Yan Shiqing could have made her own decision, but after taking a look at Mrs. Ruan beside her, she felt that it was better to tell her about such a trivial matter, so as not to think about it too much, so she pulled her and whispered: "Grandma, this is your
How to collect it? Our family is not short of that little money, but I don’t want to end up with a feud over rice.”
Old Mrs. Ruan originally wanted to tell her not to accept it. Anyway, it was not a waste of time. But after hearing about Sheng Mi's feud with Mi Qiu, for some reason, she suddenly thought of Xuezhi and what happened in the Luo Mansion in the past.
, and said: "The folks in the village don't have much money. See if you can let them exchange work for money or use goods for money."
