After Yan Shiqing had bought all the things she wanted to buy, she had spent one to two to five dollars.
Looking at the pile of things on the canoe, Juanzi sighed: "Those who didn't know better thought you had emptied the town. Okay, it's getting late. Go back quickly to save your grandma from worrying.
"
Yan Shiqing is rarely in the mood to joke: "When I get rich in the future, I will empty this town of everything as my aunt said!" wavv
Juanzi, who was originally a little annoyed that she didn't stop Yan Shiqing's shopping behavior, couldn't help laughing when she heard this and said: "You are the only one who talks so much! But it's okay, Auntie, I've been waiting for you to have this day, so don't wait until then."
Forget about my aunt!"
Yan Shiqing stopped, took out two pennies from her sleeve pocket and handed it over: "I can't forget it! Auntie, you paid for these two pennies for me when I went to town before."
Juanzi waved her hands quickly, and when she was about to say no, she heard Yan Shiqing say again: "Auntie, don't give in. I've delayed you all day, and I feel bad about it. If you don't want this money anymore, what will happen in the future?"
If there is anything, I really don’t dare ask you for help.”
Hearing what she said, Juanzi couldn't help but accept the money.
But after taking the money, I became more and more satisfied with Yan Shiqing. This girl knew how to do things.
Two pennies doesn't seem like much, but no one's money comes from a strong wind. You can still buy half a catty of thick noodles!
Yan Shiqing saw that Juanzi had collected the money, then pushed the canoe and rushed home.
The two of them had just left the town gate when they heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Auntie, sister Qing'er, wait for me!"
When Yan Shiqing heard this voice, her forehead got bigger, and she even felt a little impatient in her heart.
It would be okay if the relationship between the original owner and him was just an ordinary childhood sweetheart, but if it was a relationship between a man and a woman, she would feel guilty later on. After all, she was not the original owner, and there was absolutely no way she could respond to feelings.
Yan Shiqing had just stopped and before she turned around, she heard the sound of running behind her getting closer and closer: "I finally caught up with you. It just so happens that I have something to go back to the village, so I'll join you."
After he finished speaking, he came to Yan Shiqing's side. He even took the initiative to take the canoe wheel from Yan Shiqing's hand and pushed it towards Yangjiacun.
Yan Shiqing was a little confused. She had a special status in modern times. Whether it was training or performing tasks, women always acted like men. Pushing a small monoblade was simply a small thing in her opinion.
Case, this is the first time a man has taken the initiative to help her with such a small favor.
Juanzi glanced at Yan Shiqing who was standing aside, and then reached out to pull her: "Qing girl, why are you so dazed? Let's go."
Yan Shiqing came back to her senses and glanced at Yang Jiaxiang who was walking in front with complicated eyes. Suddenly she felt that this man didn't seem so annoying.
In her opinion, men in ancient times were more chauvinistic than modern men, especially young scholars who have always been regarded as being superior to others, so how could they take the initiative to help others?
Aren’t all scholars ignorant of grains and grains and unable to restrain a chicken? But the person in front of her seemed to be different from what she thought!
No matter what Yan Shiqing thinks, in short, the job of pushing the wheel belongs to Yang Jiaxiang.
It was precisely because of this that she was in the mood to take a closer look at the plants and trees around her.
When she came to this town before, she was busy on the road and pretending to be worried, so she was not in the mood to take a look. Now that she had some free time, she naturally wanted to take a closer look.
It was okay not to look at it, but at first glance, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Auntie, although the autumn air is crisp and dry, this field, no, the grass and trees are too dry, right? This is completely different from our Yangjia Village. There is no water in the field, and even the grass is withered and yellow.
"
When Juanzi heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "This is your first time in the town, so it's nothing strange if you see it. I think when I saw it for the first time, I felt weird and panicked. To put it bluntly,
As far as I know, except for the two mountains and rivers in our Yangjia Village, I have never seen other places around here."
Yang Jiaxiang, who was walking in front, was always paying attention to every move of the people behind him.
Suddenly hearing Yan Shiqing ask about this, the doubts in her eyes became more and more serious, but she still explained professionally: "Although our Great Chu State has a vast area and good products, there is one thing that the entire Great Chu State lacks.
Water. As my aunt said, in the nearby villages along the way from Yangjia Village to this town, except for our river, there is no other place."
Hearing this, Yan Shiqing couldn't help but ask: "What about them drinking water?"
"Dig a well, and it must be dug deep to have water. And each household has a fixed amount of water every day. Speaking of which, my mother said that more than ten years ago, our Yangjia Village was also short of water.
Even if there are mountains, most of the trees on them are wilted. There is very little rain all year round.”
When Yan Shiqing heard that there was a water shortage, and that the entire country was short of water, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. At the same time, she was very lucky that where she was, water was relatively abundant.
However, due to lack of water, she figured out why the broken rice had to be sold for twelve cents a pound.
Isn't it? Because of the lack of water, there are very few paddy fields. Similarly, if there are few paddy fields, there will be less rice. Scarcity is the most precious thing. If there is little rice, the price of rice can be imagined.
If the people here have so little water and don't have enough to eat, bathing will be a big problem.
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to go deeper.
After hearing what Yang Jiaxiang said, Juanzi also spoke: "Isn't it true? In the first two years after I married in Yangjia Village, water was not very abundant. Not to mention other things, the Fengyu River in our village had very little water.
, every time I wash clothes, I like to do it after it rains. There is more water in the river, so washing is more enjoyable. Then suddenly there is more water. Oh, by the way, I remembered it. I was a love girl that year.
My mother came back with her love girl, um, that’s right, that was the year.”
When she said this, she suddenly remembered something and stopped talking. Yan Shiqing was confused and had no idea what Juanzi meant.
Yang Jiaxiang, who was walking in the front, continued Juanzi's words: "My mother often said that sister Qing'er is a blessed one. She brought blessings to our Yangjia Village."
Yan Shiqing blinked inexplicably and couldn't help clearing her throat: "How do you say this?"
"I was young at that time and didn't remember anything at all. But I heard that the entire Chu Kingdom was drier than before that year, and Yangjia Village was no exception. The villagers even discussed whether to move out. But at that time,
Your mother brought you back. Strangely enough, it started to rain in Yangjiacun that night, and it rained for two days and two nights. Since then, Yangjiacun has never been short of water. It rains every year.
