Not long after, the long rainy season finally came, and the continuous spring rains were big or small, day after day, and the farming season began.

Originally, most of the sweet potatoes planted were growing very well because of the moisture of the spring rain, so Jiang Yi and Chen's mother cut off the potato seedlings that grew relatively thick and planted all the more than three acres of land next to the pond.

The cooperation between Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi seems to be quite compatible, the two of them went to catch the car together, and the younger brother was indeed a lot easier.

In addition to the car, the two bought some fish fry in the town and put them into the pond that had been stored for a long time, and listened to Jiang Yi's words and planted lotus roots in the relatively shallow place next to the pond.

With Chen's mother's help in housework, Jiang Yi had a lot of free time, so she collected a few more litters, about 100 chickens, mainly on the hillside behind the house.

Thinking of having a pond, I raised dozens of ducks.

Then I bought a calf and two piglets.

Bu Shuigui, who originally had a whisper, saw that Chen's mother was indeed an expert in housework, clean and neat, and diligent, and helped her son's family a lot, so he slowly accepted Chen Zhi's mother and son from a foreigner.

In fact, even if he didn't accept it, he couldn't say anything.

The family business is big, everyone is very busy, and the younger brothers Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi take care of the fish pond and cut the fish grass as soon as they get home.

Those chickens, ducks, cows and pigs thrive under the care of Chen's mother.

Jiang Yi, as a mother, leads by example, she is not idle at all, she mainly takes care of the store, takes care of housework, and takes on the task of cooking for several people.

The only one who doesn't have to work is Bu Ru, who writes in addition to holding a book every day.

It seems that he is the most comfortable, but Jiang Yi knows the hard work of reading, and he is not a person who really cares about it, so he will not take this hard time to study.

Sometimes he was tired of reading, or when he encountered something he didn't understand, he followed his younger brother to his husband for advice.

The family's life was peaceful and hopeful.

The day was clear, the sky was already bright, but the sun had not yet come out.

The family, who were accustomed to the early days, was already sitting together at this time, eating the breakfast made by Jiang Yi.

Because it is all physical work, breakfast has brown rice, bran rice porridge, a plate of pickle head, a plate of green vegetables, a small dish and small dried fish, and a dish of fried bitter bamboo shoots with oil residue, this bitter bamboo shoot is dug in the mountain, put enough salt, and the oil is enough, so it is very fragrant, and it is also extraordinarily delicious.

The villagers thought that Chen Zhi's mother and son were slaves, but Jiang Yi only treated them as hired laborers, and also expressed her attitude to Chen's mother, and did not treat them as human beings at all.

But Chen's mother still insisted on not sitting together when eating, but eating at the small table next to her, she said that it was the rule.

Even though the food on both tables is almost identical all the time.

Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi were chatting all day, the relationship between the two of them was getting better and better, and there were endless words to say every day.

Bu Ru took a piece of bitter bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth, and said to Jiang Yi; "I'll go into the village later, ask the Shen family to borrow some books, and by the way, I want to ask Mr. Shen some questions."

Jiang Yi asked suspiciously; "It's so decent, why did you suddenly think of going to Shen's house to borrow books?"

"Yesterday when I was doing Qingming, I heard that the Shen family has a lot of books, and Mr. Shen is also a child, he was almost admitted to Xiucai, I think there are some talents to learn, I want to ask him about academic matters."

"Will people take care of you?" After all, the big Shen family and the Bu family, which are many people, are in the same village, and there will always be conflicts of interest, so there are some contradictions, although they don't fight on the surface, but they don't interact with each other much.

Buru smiled; "Everyone is a township, and they should move around a lot, and they shouldn't beggar-thy-neighbor. Besides, Shen Qingzhou, the eldest son of Mr. Shen's family, and I were classmates when we were studying in the village, and we often chatted together, and I remember that he told me that there was a bookshelf at home, with dozens of hundreds of books on it, and now even if we meet them in the village, they will say hello, so I think I should be able to borrow them. ”

Jiang Yi thought that if he could borrow these books to read, it would be very helpful for Bu Ru's study, so he nodded.

Buru continued; "If the relationship with the Shen family goes away, I don't have to go to the town every time to ask the teacher when I encounter differences in learning."

"Then you go, bring some gifts, don't be rude."

Seeing that the little lady agreed, Bu Ru was very happy, finished the meal quickly, and then brought some pastries and sugar that were sold wholesale in the town.

At this time, there was no white sugar, because there was no technology to refine sugar, and some were brown sugar with impurities.

But even if this brown sugar is not very sweet, it is also a luxury, and it is very face-saving to go to other people's houses to pick up a pound or two of sugar.

Jiang Yi in his previous life once heard his grandfather say that when he first met his grandmother, he brought two catties of sugar to her house, and when his grandmother's neighbors came to join in the fun, they all praised his grandfather for his generosity.

So at this time, bring some sugar to visit people's homes, and the gift is already handy.

After Bu Ru went, Chen's mother also put down the dishes and chopsticks, ready to release the ducks to find food in the fish pond, and then release the chickens, and then cook pig food, she worked a lot every morning.

Her body is still a little plump now, and she is not so thin anymore.

And Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi went to move things and get into the car together, and while moving, they discussed the words they knew last night.

Jiang Yi gave up Ru every day after dinner to teach the two teenagers to read and write for an hour.

In the past, Jiang Zhen was interested in literacy, but he was not active enough.

Maybe it's because of what Jiang Yi said on the ox cart last time, so Jiang Zhen is learning much more seriously now than before.

And Chen Zhi is also very clever, and he also shows a high talent for literacy.

Chen's mother is very happy that her son can learn seriously, there is food and shelter, and the child can also learn to read, especially the main family is very easy to get along with, never scolds their mother and son, and does not treat them as human beings at all, so she works harder.

Everybody went about their own work. Jiang Yi began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, clean the house, and then open the shop to do business in the morning light.

In the morning shop, there are usually customers, occasionally one or two villagers come to buy some sauce and vinegar and the like, and Jiang Yi sews and mends clothes in front of the store.

In this era, almost every family's clothes are made by sewing and mending by themselves, there are very few ready-to-wear shops, and ordinary women are basically a little popular.

If you don't pursue a special style, it is quite easy to cut and sew ordinary clothes.

Today is a rare sunny day, the sun slowly rises, sprinkling thousands of golden rays, and the warm spring breeze sways the neem tree next to the house, and the leaves rustle.

The stream in front of the house was flowing loudly, and in the fish pond opposite, a group of ducks were walking through the leaves, competing to eat some plankton, croaking.

Jiang Yi smiled and threaded the needle with a calm mind.

If the years are quiet like this, it will be good.
