Chapter 142: Help
Before leaving, Shangguan Juan saw the daughter of the village chief's family again, the weather was hot, the girl came back with a hoe and was obviously tired enough, Shangguan Juan immediately handed over cold water, the girl was a little embarrassed, and thanked again and again.
"I'm really sorry yesterday, I thought you were an arrogant and domineering lady, and I was in a bad mood, so there was a conflict..."
"It's okay, everyone has a bad mood?"
Shangguan Juan's politeness made Xiao Tao feel a little embarrassed and smiled, the girl's face was red from the sun outside, Shangguan Wan was worried that he was injured, and immediately took a wet towel over.
"The little girl should also take good care of herself, and when she gets married in the future, if she is tired, it is not good to hurt her body."
"It's okay, miss, a rough person like us, I've been crawling in the field since I was a child, it's good to get used to it, there's nothing to worry about, just like that, I just knew how to walk, so I helped my family to go to the field and was damaged, and then I started farming at the age of about seven or eight years old, don't look at my young age, I'm also a veteran."
"So you're going to plant the land for the rest of your life?" Shangguan Juan asked this because he wanted to determine his inner thoughts.
Xiao Tao smiled, she really hadn't thought about Shangguan Juan's question.
But hasn't everyone been like that all along? If you farm the land and then harvest a good harvest, you will have a good mood for a year, and then leave the food to eat at home, and sell the rest of the grain to save a little money, do some business, and then marry a wife and have children, and have a happy little family.
After that, continue to farm, and the happiest thing of the year is to pray for a good year...
Xiao Tao said this, Shangguan Wan listened to it, but he also felt lonely.
If you can do something about it, maybe you can change that, right?
That little peach doesn't seem to be interesting when she talks about it?
"I'm just a rough person, I don't have any ideas, I just want my family to be healthy, but I've been like this all my life, and I still hope that my descendants will be able to escape from me in the future, after all, it's really too difficult to face the loess and rely on the sky to eat for a lifetime..."
If you haven't experienced it, you naturally don't know it.
But Xiao Tao is young but also has to help his father take care of the family, his mother went early, as the eldest child in the family, he earns both a father and a mother.
"My younger brothers and sisters are smarter than the other, if they can all study, they will definitely have a good way out in the future, but the tuition is too expensive, and poor people like us have no way..."
Shangguan Juan consciously ended the topic, took out the twenty taels of silver prepared yesterday, and wanted Xiao Tao to hand it over to the widow.
"I have twenty taels of silver, I hope you can help me hand it over to the six mothers I saw yesterday, it is not easy for her to carry a child alone, not to mention the loss of relatives, such a thing, she is not comfortable now, this can't be his mistake..."
"If you take these twenty taels of silver, you should be able to buy a few acres of good land, not too much, enough for him to plant alone, this child is slowly getting older, and he can't always live by picking up food."
Shangguan Juan said as Xiao Tao next to him took the money bag and didn't speak for a long time.
didn't expect that Shangguan Juan had obviously only seen that Liu Niang, and he was willing to take out money to help others, Xiao Tao immediately thanked Shangguan Juan for Liu Niang.
"I also feel that a woman has no husband who she respects and loves the most, and she feels uncomfortable, and she is regarded as a hard life by others, what a great sadness for women, and even most of the women who say that they are women, it's really..."
This is also the reason why I take care of Liu Niang a lot, obviously they are all women...
Even Xiao Tao knows why it is difficult for the other party at this age, and at the same time, who doesn't want to have a happy family and live happily.
A few people left, Shangguan Juan sat in the car, Xiao Jiu, who drank yesterday, slept for a day, and now he is also sitting in the car in a daze.
"Miss, why did you only give Liu Niang twenty taels of silver, and if you actually helped her, why didn't you help Liu Niang directly tide over the difficulties temporarily?"
Vanilla asked Shangguan Juan, but she didn't understand why Shangguan Juan suddenly decided to help Na Liu Niang, but only gave twenty taels of silver.
Shangguan Juan smiled and said: "Helping people also has to pay attention to methods, the so-called help is not to take money to help, but to implement these self-given places where others happen to need them."
That Liu Niang gave a lot of land with a son, and she couldn't plant it, and the child is getting bigger and bigger, and life will naturally get better and better in the future..."
Only in this way will we work harder, and only in this way will we be happy as a family.
Vanilla nodded, and Mu Chenyu next to him was confused, not knowing what he had missed.
"Xiao Jiu, you are being strong, you obviously can't drink, but you still have to drink hard, how about it? Got a headache, right? Shangguan Juan said and put the sobering pill prepared by Yuejiao yesterday into Mu Chenyu's mouth.
After all, it was the first time to drink, and Shangguan Juan was also worried that Mu Chenyu would hurt his body because of drinking, which would inevitably be more than worth the loss.
"You guy, when you drink wine, you also have a crazy energy, be careful to become an alcoholic in the future, then it will be troublesome!"
Shangguan Juan teased her, and Mu Chenyu was also much sober. Naturally, I understood it, and I didn't know why I was doing it yesterday, and I was drunk, right?
It's just that looking at Shangguan Juan, I feel a hot face...
"If you eat this sobering pill, your body will be half better, and when you go back, you will drink two bowls of hot soup, if you really want to drink, you still have to start drinking fruit wine, the village chief's wine is too strong, it is brewed with his own grain, and the degree is too high, not suitable for you."
Mu Chenyu honestly swallowed the decanting pill in Shangguan Juan's gaze, this decanting pill was slightly sweet in the mouth, and he didn't feel annoying to eat it...
"Where are we going next?"
The course drawn by the tassel is complete. It takes about a month to walk around and travel all over Suzhou.
This month, Shangguan Juan passed through various large and small villages, most of which were harvest seasons, and people were happy but also sad...
Happily, this is the season of labor harvest in a year, and the worry is that there is not enough manpower, and the harvest in some places is not very good, and the grain is not as much as expected...
It would be great if there was a way to greatly increase food production and save manpower!
Along the way, Shangguan Juan has been thinking about the feasibility of doing so, after all, if this problem can be fundamentally solved, it will promote a lot of economy...
Only when there is more food and people can have enough to eat can we develop and invest more money in the fields of education and science and technology.
