Shi Jingxuan received the news that the harrier brought back, and asked him to inform the leader of the third group not to sell the frozen fish, but to ask someone to clean it up and flood it, and when the time comes, it will be sent to the western wasteland with duck meat and rabbit meat to cook for the hired workers, which makes him feel much more at ease. In his mind, the biggest loss is the fish, and if the fish has a better solution, the big thing will be gone.

The snow disaster in these places in the south-central part is very serious, because people in these places have never seen waist-deep snow and it is rare and strange. In fact, compared to the west and north, this snowstorm is simply not worth mentioning. First of all, the snow is not very big, but it is very long, from the 28th day of the lunar month, it has been falling until the fifth day of the first month. If the snow is cleared twice a day, morning and evening, at least the house will not collapse. In the west and north, there is no such good luck, once it snows heavily, it is really big, and in a moment the ground can be covered with a thick layer, and if the snow on the roof is not cleared overnight, then the ordinary thatched hut will not be there the next day, and all you will see is a pool of snowdrifts.

The second is that the temperature in the south-central region is higher than in the northwest, and the snow will melt in a few days, while the northwest can have a snowdrift that does not melt for a month.

Therefore, the losses caused by this snow storm are definitely there, but it has not had much impact on the lives of the people in this area. The sun has just hung brightly in the sky here, and families over there have begun to shovel snow with shovels and wooden lifts while preparing to go to relatives and pay respects to the New Year.

This is especially true of the Wang family and the surrounding people, their paddy fields. In the past, when there were no fish and duck farming, a season of winter wheat or rape was planted in winter. Since each family is either raising fish or ducks, they have followed the Erya family in winter. Nothing is planted, just filled with water to raise the fields. The heavy snow was no loss for them, and it added to the fun of the New Year, and they also got a lot of turtledoves and pigeons that were caught in the granary and braised to make a delicious meal because they could not find food.

Although they also planted a lot of winter wheat this year, half of the land was used as a greenhouse for out-of-season vegetables. On the days when it snowed continuously, the people in their group knew that this kind of shed could not withstand the pressure. Several teams took turns on duty, never leaving people, but a greenhouse shed was protected intact. The vegetables that grow well inside have doubled in value after the heavy snowfall. In the past, in the early spring of winter, only a dozen wen were sold, but now they have risen to more than 50 wen, and they are limited every day. Who doesn't have guests during the New Year? Even though the price of vegetables is extremely high. Also limited. People who want to buy a lot of vegetables will always find a way to buy more. Fortunately, the vegetables in the greenhouse can make a lot of money in the New Year, so it is said that it is a limited amount, and it is still distributed every day according to the amount sold out before the New Year, and the amount is not small, and the income is several times more than in previous years.

In the capital, Erya and Xiaohu knew that it was useless to think more. I no longer care about the snow disaster in my hometown, and help in the compound where I adopted the child with peace of mind.

What Er Ya didn't expect was. In just a few months, the yard has received more than 100 children. Of course, Erya doesn't know some of the inside information here, because the big housekeeper is the emperor's person, and the emperor also has his own private spies in various places, and he will also let those spies bring some orphans back and put them in Erya's compound to raise. The number of orphans, outcasts, and beggars found in the streets and alleys of the capital is less than one-third of the total number, and Erya listens to their accents and dialects in various places, and privately thinks that they are some abducted children who have escaped from the hands of human traffickers!

All kinds of supporting facilities in the compound, Dahong and Xiangzi have brought manpower and materials to do very well. Children's playground, men's and women's toilets, water wells converted into pressurized water wells, small bathhouses with fireplaces and hot tubs, briquette stove heating in every room, and a special shelf on the briquette stove is used to prevent the briquette stove from burning the children, and the other is used to dry clothes.

The first row of houses has been transformed into a children's school, which is not heated by a briquette stove, but a dragon fire road, which is heated in the morning, and the children stop adding firewood before they get out of school at night, so that firewood is not wasted at all. There are three gentlemen, one with an initiation class, one with arithmetic, and one with an intensive class, because the children's original household registration is not there, and now there are only temporary household registrations registered in the capital government, which is useless for future scientific examinations, so there is no special guidance for the scientific examination of Mr. back. In addition, there are several masters who specialize in teaching various crafts, but they come once every three days and teach for an hour.

The children's hygiene, Er Ya does not need to look at anything else, just look behind the children's ears, knees and elbows, you can know whether they have bathed properly. For those children who are still young and can't bathe themselves by themselves, it is clear whether several mothers-in-law have washed them well or not.

There is no need to worry about diet, Dahong's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law will come over every now and then to see, if there is a buckle, you can find it immediately. Of course, these two people don't have to be so worried, the big housekeeper is the emperor's person, and he is also worried that there are the emperor's secret sons hidden in those people under him! Where do you dare not be on an errand.

Here, Xiaohu and his wife stayed in the compound with peace of mind to accompany the children, but there were people who were anxious and wanted to find an excuse to invite Erya to come and walk.

This incident started when Erya accidentally met Mrs. Kong's niece: Erya was busy writing a letter to Xiaolong when she came back from Confucius's mansion, and then waited. Then, because of the snow disaster in his hometown, although Er Ya was not so anxious, it was impossible for him to go to his relatives in a good mood. What's more, they have to stay in the big yard to communicate with the children more and take care of the children's psychological conditions and living habits. Therefore, I have never had the opportunity to contact Mrs. Kong, and Mrs. Kong has also had a very hard time during this time.

Here, the New Year's greetings are bound to visit relatives and friends, which has become the peak period of blind dates and kisses. Mrs. Kong's niece has reached the age of twenty because of several delays in family affairs, she is not in a hurry, but her mother is in a hurry! Every time I go to someone's house to pay New Year's greetings, I have to force my daughter to keep up, and regardless of the occasion, let whoever help pay attention, but there is a suitable introduction to the introduction. If there is a kind person, I sincerely agree to help pay attention. There is that mean, the promise here is crunchy, and when he turns his face, he will tell others as a joke.

Mrs. Kong watched her niece with a painful expression. But the brother and daughter-in-law were indifferent, so they couldn't help but want to say what was hidden in their hearts. In the end, she still couldn't endure it, but her niece finally couldn't stand her mother's torture and cried bitterly, and she didn't want to follow her mother out to pay New Year's greetings.

"Brother and sister! Don't torture Ah Jing like this anymore, you don't see Ah Jing is about to be driven crazy by you! ”

Ah Jing's mother didn't speak indifferently, but she was full of slander in her heart: Your two daughters are married to good families, of course, standing here and talking doesn't hurt your back. If your daughter is twenty years old and hasn't been able to get married, see if you're in a hurry?

Mrs. Kong looked at her younger siblings with a nonchalant look. knew that this brother and sister were not happy about being nosy, so he had to reveal a little: "Brother and sister! Don't be in such a hurry, maybe Ah Jing's marriage hasn't arrived yet. If you get there, you can't stop it. I can't say that it will be during this time that Ah Jing's marriage will arrive! You might as well just follow Ah Jing's wishes and wait! ”

Ah Jingniang was finally annoyed by this sentence of waiting: "Sister-in-law! It is said that you care so much about my family, Ah Jing, I should thank you, but she will be twenty years old after this year, and you still say wait! Is this what you, as an aunt, should say? Are you hoping that your niece won't get married? ”

"Hey! How do you say that? Ah Jing was made like this. Can I not feel distressed? She also grew up watching her. Although I don't care as much as you, my own mother, I also treat it as my own daughter. The reason why I asked you to wait is because someone has already taken a fancy to her, and she just wants to write a letter to ask the boy what he means, and before the reply comes, don't let me reveal the news, and I have to keep my promise! ”

A Jingniang's face was like knocking over a box of colorful ink, and it changed several colors in an instant. In the end, he smiled and gave his sister-in-law a big smile: "Oops! Sister-in-law. Why didn't you say it earlier? I took Ah Jing out every day to be embarrassed. Sister-in-law, do you want to secretly show me the truth. Who took a fancy to my family? Does that person know about my family? ”

As soon as Mrs. Kong saw her brother-in-law's appearance, she knew that if she didn't get to the bottom of her, she would have to be entangled. He took his brother and daughter-in-law to the inner house, and let the mother in front of him stand outside and watch no one crash in. Only then did he whisper: "I know, if I don't tell you the truth, your heart will not be quiet all the time, and maybe you will think that I am playing tricks with you."

In fact, the one who fell in love with Ah Jing was my youngest daughter's second cousin-in-law, and it was a blind date for my little son-in-law's little cousin. You also know more or less about the situation of their Wang family, his little cousin is not only the champion of Jinke, but also a fourth-grade official. ”

Ah Jingniang listened to her sister-in-law's words, and instead of being surprised, she was very suspicious: "Sister-in-law! Are you sure you're not mistaken? You also know that my lord is just a scribe and doesn't even have a grade, how could she fall in love with my daughter? Not to mention that Ah Jing has such a few disgraceful relatives in front of her! ”

"How could you be mistaken! And I've already told her about Ah Jing, people don't care, as long as her brother has no opinion, it's done. I didn't say it before, and it wasn't just because of the explanation over there, the main reason was that Ah Jing's family affair had too many twists and turns, and I was afraid that if there was another mistake this time, I was afraid that I would be able to kill Ah Jing. You! Put it in your heart first, don't say anything, and when you come over there to propose, then mention it to Ah Jing, and by the way, persuade her not to have any more tempers that don't marry. ”

Ah Jingniang was really happy this time, and nodded a little excitedly: "Hmm! Well! I got it! I know! ”

It's no wonder that she is overly excited, outsiders don't know the Wang family, they only think that the Wang family is a nouveau riche in the countryside, but as the niece's maiden family, they know the truth of the Wang family.

From the carriage for my niece, to the glass wine glass, the glass soap box, the Qingshen flower water used in summer, and the Qingshen oil essence, which is not a boutique that is difficult to buy in the market?! Most of the New Year's gifts sent every year are new products, and even those marquis' mansions and lords' mansions are not rare things that can be easily obtained. She has always been envious and jealous that her sister-in-law has such an in-law, but she didn't expect that her daughter's family affairs that have been bumpy for so long would have such an opportunity.

When she thought about it, she always felt a little unreal. Ah! I really want to find a second sister-in-law who invites this niece to come and sit, and verify it - what the sister-in-law said is true. (To be continued.) )
