Chapter 23 Planting Gastrodia

This night, Jiang Yuer had a good night's sleep. Only Jiang Amao lay on the bedside to make a flatbread, turning over and over and couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about my sister's words, these words had a big impact on him, although he felt that it made sense in his heart, but he still couldn't digest it for a while.

Early the next morning, the three brothers and sisters went out early for breakfast. Jiang Amao has a lot of strength, and he did the work of digging a pit or something. Jiang Yu'er is responsible for laying leaves and placing wooden stakes. Jiang Ziming carried it, grabbed the gastrodia inside and put them one by one.

Because they wanted to finish planting as soon as possible, the three brothers and sisters brought lunch and were busy going up the mountain.

The people in the village watched the three brothers and sisters work from morning to night in the mountains, and they didn't know what they were busy doing.

"The children of the Dazhu family don't know if they are out of food. Now I'm going to the mountains to find something to eat. Aunt He was doing needlework in her hands, and she said to the person next to her without raising her head.

"Rika Niang, you don't know yet! That mountain has now been sold to a few children of Brother Dazhu's family. "It was Lizheng's daughter-in-law who spoke, and when Jiang Amao went to their house yesterday and said that she wanted to buy that mountain, their family was shocked.

"What?" As soon as Lizheng's daughter-in-law Lin's voice fell, the group of people present were all surprised. You must know that since the Dazhu family left the couple, the three children have hardly eaten a full meal. Now that he suddenly said that he wanted to buy this mountain, he could not surprise people.

Although the construction of latrines on the pipes in the past also surprised them, they were not surprised. You must know that there is nothing on the hill except some firewood and wood. These are built on the mountain, and they don't know what is on it.

"Hey! What's all the fuss about. The money for people to buy this mountain is also justified. A few days ago, my dog saw that their uncle and nephew had brought back a big guy from the mountain. It's just that it's a little dark, and I can't see what it is. An aunt stepped forward and spoke up.

"Yes! I saw it too. Early a few days ago, I also saw Erzhu carrying three backs with Ah Mao and Er Mao, which should be filled with meat. I guess I found it hunting in the mountains! Another aunt put down the needle and thread in her hand and said.

Everyone was shocked: "Hunting? Although I was stunned, who would dare to say anything about what so many people had witnessed.

When the three siblings descended the mountain, it was already dinner time. was about to cook, when he heard Jiang Ziming shouting outside the door: "Brother, sister." The village chief's grandfather has come to our house. ”

Jiang Yu'er raised her head and glanced at her brother, and they both saw doubts in the other party's eyes.

"Grandpa the village chief!" When the brother and sister came out, they happened to see Jiang Ziming come out with a glass of water and hand it to Zhang Linshan, the village chief sitting on a low stool.

Hearing the call, the village chief also raised his head, looked at the brother and sister, and said, "I came here today because I want to talk to you about something." ”

The brother and sister glanced at each other again and turned their heads: "What's the matter with the village chief's grandfather?" Jiang Yu'er pulled the stool next to her and sat down.

The village chief looked at the brothers and sisters in front of him, their clothes were still in tatters, but they didn't feel dirty at all. "I heard that the mountain land you bought yesterday is going to work on it today. Grandpa is here to ask, what are you going to do when you buy this mountain land? ”

In fact, he wanted to ask if there was any good way, and if he could provide it, he would drive the people in the village to follow suit. As the village head, he doesn't seek any political achievements, but just wants to make the villagers feel better.

Jiang Yu'er frowned and said, "Actually, it's nothing. When our family bought mountain land, we actually wanted to see if we could plant something on it to supplement our family. She looked up at the village chief and said, "Grandpa the village chief, you know it too." Our father and mother left early, and the brothers and sisters are all dependent on everyone to survive until now. If there's anything good, can we not think about the people in the village? "How did she not know what the village chief thought, he was a good village chief, and all he thought about was how to help the people in the village for the welfare.

Looking at the vicissitudes of his face, Jiang Yu'er said again: "Grandpa the village chief, I found some food on the mountain. I can also fill my stomach, thinking that I will take it back and plant a stubble first, and if it can be successful, the villagers can also follow our family to plant. "This was her biggest concession and her original idea. As for Tianma and Banxia, those things are okay. It's all delicate work, and if they are allowed to plant it, they may not necessarily clean it up.

"I don't dare say anything else, but as long as the people in the village are willing to do it. I am not afraid of hardship, I believe that in less than two years, our village will definitely become the richest village in Zhiyun Town. Jiang Yu'er didn't say much, she knew what she was doing, and she also understood what people in this era relied on to survive.

"It is said that the people take food as the sky, and we have food, so we are afraid that we will not be rich?" Jiang Yu'er looked at the village chief and said seriously.

The village chief listened to Jiang Yu'er's words, told the truth, and was really moved. You know, over the years, although no one has starved to death, life has not been much better. It's just barely going to die.

"Niu Niu, what you said is true?" The village chief still couldn't believe it.

Jiang Yu'er called her younger brother, asked him to go to his room, brought a sweet potato and handed it to the village chief, and said, "Grandpa the village chief, look at this, it's called sweet potato, I found it by accident." The taste is sweet and can satisfy hunger. I didn't dig up much, so I thought about trying to plant for a year, and if the yield was high, we would vigorously promote it and let everyone in the village plant it. ”

The village chief took the sweet potato, looked at it again and again, but did not see its peculiarity. In the end, Jiang Ziming took it, washed it, and handed it to the village chief in front of him: "Grandpa the village chief, this sweet potato is delicious." It can be eaten roasted or cooked. It can also be eaten raw. (To put it bluntly, in fact, Jiang Yuer doesn't know how to eat, and she can only think of these) After speaking, she took a big bite and ate it hard.

The village chief saw that he was eating so deliciously, and he tried to take a small bite himself. The taste is indeed sweet, and if it is really as this girl said, then the villagers are afraid that they will not eat it?

When he came, he looked sad, but when he left, he smiled. The thought that everyone in a village can live a good life makes him indescribably happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was winter. The cold wind struck, Jiang Yu'er pulled the clothes on her body, and felt that it was still lower than the fierce cold wind.

"Brother, when you go to town tomorrow, remember to buy some cloth and cotton. Let's make cotton clothes, otherwise we won't be able to survive this winter. Jiang Yu'er was a little swishing from the cold.
