Before entering July, Jiang Anyi did three major things.

The first one, prepare a heavy gift, take Jiang Anyong, and go to Zhou Xiucai's house. When Jiang Anyi mentioned asking him to return to Jiangfu to take charge of the school, Zhou Xiucai immediately nodded and agreed, if he was not forced to do so, he really didn't want to give up twenty taels of seniority.

The eighteen-year-old champion in front of him, who can't escape from the rank of three or more according to seniority, maybe he will enter the cabinet in the future, even if he can't get naked, he has to stick to it firmly for his children and grandchildren. Now that Jiang Zhuangyuan has come to invite him in person, he has all his face, how can there be any reason not to agree.

Jiang Anyi's intention is not only that, in the past few days, he found that the accounts at home were chaotic, and the expenses of the family were only recorded by his mother, and the third uncle occasionally came back to write down a rough plan, so it would definitely not work, the family wanted an account room, and Zhou Xiucai was the best candidate for the account room. When Jiang Anyi mentioned an increase of ten taels in his annual salary, Zhou Xiucai could no longer maintain his reserve, grinning and revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

Zhou Xiucai's two sons are already married, and the family is a little crowded in the two-entry house, Jiang Anyi smiled: "Brother Zhou, why don't you simply move to my house to live, my family has an empty courtyard, so it saves you from running back and forth." ”

This is a good thing that can't be asked for, and the next day Zhou Xiucai took his eldest son's family and seven people to live in the small courtyard prepared for him by Jiang Anyi. The small courtyard is full of bamboo, the environment is elegant, and the seven fine houses are cleaned up, and Zhou Xiucai is very satisfied. I met Jiang Huang's family, and the old gentleman's new account office officially took office.

The second thing is that Jiang Anyi's family followed Fang Zhi into Matou Mountain, went to Anlong Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and visited Master Hongxin. The waterfall is still the same, there are monks working in the terraces, the road in front of the mountain gate is rectified, it becomes flat and wide, and the three big characters of "Anlong Temple" are in sight.

Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, Jiang Anyi was a little more pious, Master Hongxin nodded secretly, Jiang Anyi obviously had a good impression of Buddhism. In the Zen room, Jiang Anyi said that he wanted to take Fang Zhizhong to Renzhou to serve in the army, and the monk Hongxin stood up, bowed deeply, and said: "The poor monk is a monk, and there is nothing to thank Jiang Tanyue, only pray for Jiang Tanyue's family in front of the Buddha, thank Jiang Tanyue for his kindness." ”

Fang Zhizhong was a little reluctant, and said in a sullen voice: "Uncle, you have to take care of me when I go to Renzhou, and I will come back to see you when I am free." ”

"Idiot, a good boy has ambitions in all directions, and your parents will be happy when they see you become a talent in the spirit of heaven. Uncle is a monk, because you have more red dust to worry about, you can revive the family's reputation, start a family in the future, and spread the branches, and your uncle can also worship the Buddha with peace of mind, and break the dust. Master Hongxin looked at his nephew with a loving expression.

"Jiang Tanyue, you left for Renzhou in mid-July, during this time I want Chong'er to live in the temple, first, our uncle and nephew will be reunited for a while, and second, I will be ruthless on the battlefield, I want to teach him some life-saving skills."

On the way back, Jiang Anyong came to his brother's side and said, "Brother, I heard Brother Zhizhong say that his uncle will subdue demons and internal strength, and also said that you will also have internal strength." Brother, Master Hongxin definitely wants to pass on the Demon Suppression Technique to Brother Zhizhong, can you pass on your internal strength to me? Jiang Anyi immediately nodded and agreed, An Yong has grown up, he is a brave person, and if he has internal strength to defend himself in the future, the safety factor will be greatly increased, but how did he pass on the credit to him?

After communicating with Xin Fei, Jiang Anyi knew that his heart was masculine, and he was quick to gain but was too restless, and he needed to reconcile with the feminine exercises. Xin Fei instructed him a few words to pay attention to the meridians that he should pass through when he exercised, as a harmony, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this, the advantage is that the exercises become mellow, and the danger of going mad is greatly reduced, and the disadvantage is that the growth of his skills has become slow, and Jiang Anyi can hardly detect the growth of his own skills during this time.

Jiang Anyi thought about it and decided to teach An Yong the improved Luck Gong Mental Method, he didn't want An Yong to go crazy like himself, he happened to have a master by his side to help twice, otherwise he would have already died of self-immolation.

The third thing is to tidy up the fields at home. After the fields under their names were returned, the Jiang family now has 760 mu of land, including 360 mu of high-grade fields, 230 mu of medium-class fields, 170 mu of low-grade fields, and more than 1,500 mu of barren mountains and wasteland. In addition, the three uncles had a total of 480 acres of land under his name.

The existing fields were planted with grain and rented to others, which was originally a six-cent rent, and after deducting one cent of tax, they could still get five cents of the field yield, while the farmer only got four cents of the field yield, Jiang Anyi decided to let one cent benefit the renter, and only charged five cents of rent.

For those who have no land, an extra percent of grain is a way to live, and the tenant farmers who learned the news are grateful, and the whole family comes to thank them. Looking at the sincere smiles on their faces, Jiang Huang whispered: "Yi'er, this is what you said about buying fame with money, and my mother feels comfortable." If my mother has thought about you, our family is not short of food or clothing, and if we can have the spare energy to do some good deeds, it is a good thing that the Buddha blesses and cannot ask for. ”

Shi is more happy, although Jiang Huang has not read, but the tempering of life has long been refined and proficient in the world. Jiang Anyi praised his mother a few words, and Jiang Huang's face was flushed with a thin flush, beautiful and delicate. Jiang Anyi sighed silently in his heart, raised a smile and said: "Mother, don't abandon the mountains you bought, invite more people to cultivate fruit orchards or bamboo forests, if there is water in the low-lying wasteland, dig it into a pond, raise fish and plant lotus." ”

Jiang Huang said: "That will take a lot of time, and you have to invite a lot of people, and the family will not have enough manpower." ”

Jiang Anyiqing left the idlers at home, and now he finds that he is too eager, and there are still many places to employ people. After thinking about it, Jiang Anyi said: "Uncle Wang knows the most about the chores in the family, I mean let him be the housekeeper, if there is anything to let Uncle Wang come forward." There are not enough people to work at home, so let Wang Bo go to the market to hire people, the price may be more generous, and don't deduct the villagers. ”

"This time, I took Zhizhong and An Yong away, no one at home can do it, I mean to let Brother Dongjiang come back. Didn't the second uncle tell him about his protégé? After becoming a family, he helped at home, and in the past two years, he has also experienced it outside, and the family is now no more than before, and there are more gifts to be sent, the eldest uncle and the second uncle can't get on the stage, and the third uncle is not at home, so let Brother Dongjiang hold up the façade. ”

"Okay, I'll tell your second uncle later."

"The family's fields are handed over to the eldest uncle to take care of, and the matter of reclaiming the wasteland makes the second uncle have more snacks, and the cousins in the family may wish to learn to take care of something when they are free, and they can't always know how to play all day long." Jiang Anyi nodded while saying that Jiang Huang's family, and Yan'er shouted: "Brother, you are not at home, I am the only one left in the family, and I have to help my mother do things." ”

Jiang Anyi teased her: "Can you write?" Can you keep accounts? ”

"I can write a hundred words." Yan'er raised her head proudly and said, "Mr. Zhou praises me as the smartest, and the second brother is far worse than me." ”

"Yo, my Yan'er is still a talented woman, and she will definitely be more interested than her brother in the future." Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "But Yan'er is still young now, she can read and write more with Mr. Zhou, and when Yan'er is two years older, she can help her mother take care of the house." ”

Yan'er pursed her lips and snorted: "My brother's words don't count, I can write, I can keep accounts, and I won't let me take care of the house, stingy ghost." ”

Jiang Anyi was a little afraid of Yan'er's broken thoughts, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Isn't Yan'er the most favorite dish made by my brother?" What do you want to eat when my brother is free today? ”

Yan'er immediately jumped up happily, bent her hand and said: "Stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pork ribs, crispy white bi, sour bamboo shoots belly slices, steamed pork, fried pork liver, braised fish pieces, tea eggs." Okay, let's eat these today, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”

Good guy, he said seven or eight dishes in a row, and said to eat these first, Jiang Anyi smiled and lifted Yan'er, spun around in the air, and said, "Okay, you tell Aunt Yu to prepare the materials, my brother will show his skills today, so that the little gluttonous cat can eat to his heart's content." ”

Yan'er's eyes bent into moon buds, and she smiled so much that she was happy, and ran out to find Aunt Yu. After a while, Yan'er ran back again, panting and said, "Aunt Yu said that there is no fish at home, no pork liver, and no crispy white bi, brother, you have to change a few dishes." ”

"Crispy white is here." Guo Huaili stepped in with one leg, holding a basin in his hand, which contained twenty pieces of crispy white bi. Putting the basin on the table, Guo Huaili asked: "Is Xiaojiang going to make vegetables, that feeling is good, my old Guo is blessed." ”

After tasting Jiang Anyi's craftsmanship a few times, Guo Huaili came to Jiang's house from time to time to eat, and always encouraged Jiang Anyi to cook a few dishes to satisfy his appetite. Yan'er glared at Guo Huaili and said, "Every time you rob me, I can't get enough of it." ”

The snack seller has an opinion on the big foodie, Guo Huaili squatted down, pretended to be pitiful, and said: "Good Yan'er, the fat brother has lost a lot of weight recently, you can pity me, at most let your brother make one more portion, and I will eat that one alone." ”

"That's not going to work, we have to eat it together."

Everyone laughed, Jiang Anyong walked in, and when he heard that there were no fish at home, he immediately said excitedly: "There are big fish in the wild pool, let's go fishing now." I also laid a few sets next to it to see if there was any catch, and maybe some game to eat in the evening. ”

Jiang Anyong has been detained at home for the past few days, and he has tried his best to encourage Jiang Anyi to go fishing. Seeing his younger brother's pitiful appearance, Jiang Anyi nodded in agreement, Jiang Anyong cheered, and rushed out of the house to prepare the fishing rod.

The fishing ground is behind the river house, and the road is overgrown with weeds, and there is only a winding path that stretches into the embrace of the mountains. Walking out of Wuli Road, there is a half-acre waterhole in the miscellaneous trees, Jiang Anyi's brothers often came to swim with their father when they were young, and now this land has been bought by Jiang Huang's family.

Jiang Anyong took Yan'er to start fishing happily, Guo Huaili found a shady place, looked up and said: "This land is really good, there are mountains and waters, and it is surrounded by mountains, there is only one road leading to the outside, and it is good to repair the village." ”

Jiang Anyi's heart moved, and he carefully looked at the familiar world in his memory. The water of the pond comes from the clear spring in the mountains, the edge of the pond is full of wild grasses, and the area is about four or five acres in size, and it is enough to build a house after repairing. The mountains are steep, and the whole valley is like a giant.

"Easy to defend and difficult to attack, a century-old foundation", Jiang Anyi's head flashed eight words.
