Chapter 90: The History of the Struggle of the Peasants 36
Unconsciously, another cold winter has passed, and Xi Jiang has been in this world for two years, and there is still about a year before the war.
Last winter, the weather got colder and colder.
Because of Xi Jiang's reminder, Tian Fengming increased the frequency of going to the county seat, and heard a lot of news from the businessmen.
I heard that skirmishes have broken out in some parts of the border during the winter.
This made Tian Fengming more and more sure that the war was waiting for me.
The tensions of the Tian family also affected the three villages, especially Ikeda.
Everyone now trusts Tian Fengming very much, and he is located near the border pass, and the older generation has some experience to some extent.
The people in the village are also working harder and harder to practice martial arts every day.
However, all three villages did it very carefully. On the surface, there seems to be no change in the village, but the spirit of the people inside has changed somewhat.
It is worth mentioning that the three gangsters in the village, led by Li Ergou, also follow the training every day.
It's been a good year.
News of sweet potatoes also spread secretly in several nearby villages. Corn was also planted in the village, and even a lot of land was cleared on the nearby hillside to grow corn and sweet potatoes.
Because of last year's bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, the people in the village also have extra spare money, and many families have bought new clothes.
Families with a lot of sweet potatoes privately sold a lot of sweet potatoes to their relatives in neighboring villages at prices lower than the market price but higher than the selling price.
Except for a few villages where sweet potatoes are grown, there are almost no people in other villages who do not lack food, and they are naturally very happy to buy food that can be eaten at a low price.
It is an income for those who sell sweet potatoes, and for those who buy it, it saves a sum of silver, and it can also keep seeds, which is more cost-effective.
Tian Fengming did not prevent the news of sweet potatoes from leaking. If they are full themselves, they can feed everyone, and it is okay.
The small changes in Ikeda and several nearby villages did not cause much of a stir in this era of news hiatus. However, the sale of coarse grain in several nearby villages still attracted the attention of people with good intentions, especially some grain merchants.
In recent years, the price of grain has remained high, and in order to save more silver, the people in the village eat as many sweet potatoes as possible and sell all the coarse grains and rice.
But you always get tired of eating too much! So, the women in the village, who were busy with cooking, ate the sweet potatoes and produced flowers.
Dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, sautéed sweet potatoes, baked sweet potatoes are all basic.
There is a delicious little daughter-in-law in the village, and when she heard Xi Jiang mention a mouthful of cold powder, she was stunned and figured out a little clue. But it's still a lot worse than the sweet potato jelly that Xi Jiang ate in the last world, but it already has that meaning.
The days were tense and peaceful.
On this day, Xi Jiang followed some older children in the village to pick wild fruits in the mountains. As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, a horse-drawn carriage came galloping all the way in the distance.
Xi Jiang narrowed his eyes,
No one in the village has such a rich relative, and it seems that the noble son who was saved a year ago came.
However, it's been so long, and it's only coming now, it can't be a repayment.
"Tian Ergou, you go first, don't finish the honeycomb you found last time, leave some half for the winter. Oh! By the way, leave me a piece. Xi Jiang said to the thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-year-old boy next to him.
"Alright! Xing'er, you wait for my good news. The boy walked away with a group of half-grown children.
The children of the village often wander around the neighborhood and are very familiar with the mountains and forests around the village. In addition, this year, I practiced martial arts again, and I was able to eat well, and my body was much stronger than before.
At this moment, the carriage was closer to Xi Jiang.
The driver in the car stopped the car, looked at Xi Jiang on the side of the road, and asked, "Child, is this Ikeda Village?" How to get to Tian Fengming's house? ”
Xi Jiang didn't say anything, and looked at the little guy.
This little guy is dressed no worse than the average rich and noble, it seems that the people in this carriage are very noble!
"What are you doing at Tian Fengming's house?" Xi Jiang's eyes appropriately showed wariness of strangers.
"We are here to repay the favor, and there are great benefits." The little guy seduced.
Xi Jiang stared at the little guy for a while, as if to determine the authenticity.
The little girl is also a person who has seen the world, but he is very uncomfortable to be looked at by a peasant child. I don't know why, this made him explore this child more, but if you look closely, it is no different from an ordinary peasant family.
Xi Jiang doesn't care, what does that little guy think, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I'm afraid you won't make it?
"Come with me!" After speaking, Xi Jiang walked towards the village.
The little guy hurriedly got out of the car, walked to the front and led the horse, and followed Xi Jiang.
However, Xi Jiang did not bring people to the courtyard of the Tian family, but took people directly to the place where Tian Fengming and the others worked.
Xi Jiang is completely playing an eleven or twelve-year-old child, since this person is looking for her cheap father, then take him to find it!
As for the purpose of the noble son, Xi Jiang doesn't care, although the Tian family has no power and no power, but in this nearby village, no one is afraid of this one-third of an acre, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake.
The Tian family is not as simple as a snake now.
