Chapter 16: Troubles

After Jiang Yu'er finished speaking, she didn't care what her brother said, she took out five taels of ten taels of silver in her hand, handed it to her brother, and said, "Brother, take advantage of the early days." You go to the second uncle's house, ask the second uncle to go to the town with you, and buy a few dozen catties of wheat seeds and come back. "They don't have much land, only four acres of fertile land and three acres of dry land. She thought about it, maybe only ten catties of wheat seeds would be enough.

But I thought that the second uncle's family also had five acres of fertile land and six acres of dry land. Anyway, if you are idle in winter, you will be idle, so it is better to buy it back so that the second uncle's family can also plant a stubble. If it's good, you can still fill your stomach when you don't have a good deal in the next year.

Jiang Amao was forced into a back basket by his sister and pushed out of the house. When it was almost dinner, the uncle and nephew really sold back more than 20 catties of wheat seeds. Jiang Amao also spent a tael of silver to buy some cotton.

When he passed by the cloth shop, he remembered that the cotton he bought back before was made into a quilt by his sister and given to him and his younger brother, who did not have a quilt yet!

Looking at the wheat seeds in front of her, Jiang Yu'er browled her eyebrows and smiled, as if she had seen a bumper harvest of wheat.

"Niuniu, can you really grow something this winter?" Second Uncle Jiang Erzhu is a crop veteran, he has been growing crops for decades, and he has never heard of growing food in winter. If they could really grow it, they didn't know that they would be hungry in Zhangzhuang Village.

Jiang Yu'er was unmoved, and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, you can grow it." And this kind of wheat doesn't need to be like other crops, it needs a lot of work, just plant it. What she said, how could Jiang Erzhu not know.

The next day, Jiang Erzhu took his eldest son Jiang Ermao to the house of the three brothers and sisters with a hoe. The uncles and nephews had breakfast and went to the ground. Even the youngest Jiang Ziming came with him today. Several men were digging ditches, and Jiang Yu'er's sister and brother were sowing wheat seeds. A few acres of land were planted in just one day.

After dinner, Jiang Yu'er cooked the rest of the fish for today's dinner, it was still fish soup, plus a few side dishes. There are also hares caught from the trap, and the uncles and nephews eat it so fragrantly.

When leaving, Jiang Yuer brought the remaining fish back to the second uncle. asked his brother to carry back the remaining ten catties of wheat seeds to the second uncle, and after some shirking, Jiang Erzhu still accepted it. Finally, when the family has money, he will send the money to buy seeds to the three brothers and sisters.

Jiang Yu'er just smiled and didn't say anything. Such an honest second uncle, she likes it very much.

Jiang Ziming was busy with his brothers and sisters for a day, and Zhou Gong went after dinner, and when the brothers and sisters came back after sending the second uncle and father and son, he had already fallen asleep on the table.

The next day, Jiang Ziming was at home to watch the house, and Jiang Yuer followed her brother to the second uncle's house to help. When some of the villagers who were turning the soil saw it, they gathered around them and asked them what they were planting. Jiang Erzhu did not hide it, saying that he planted wheat. The people in the village are simple, some of them are cheerful, and they joked and said: "Erzhu, your family has a lot of money, and it is moldy in the field!" ”

Jiang Erzhu was not a stingy person, but smiled and said: "Just because there is so much money in the family that it comes out of the three laces, take some and waste it." "These three flowers are also vernacular. It means doorstep.

There are also some mothers-in-law with broken mouths who will say something in the village, but it is not a big deal, it is all innocuous things. When someone encounters it, they will make some jokes.

People in this era have few ways to entertain. Some small jokes between each other have become a good form of entertainment at this time. Not only does it liven up the atmosphere, but it also strengthens the relationship between neighbors.

Sometimes when I pass through the village, I can always hear bursts of laughter from somewhere. Seeing such a scene, Jiang Yuer could only say silently in her heart: poor and happy.

Seeing such villagers made Jiang Yuer think of a question. In them, it is not important to see whether rich or poor are important, and it is important to be happy. If you are unhappy, the family closes the door and your own family is depressed.

Seeing so many lovely people, Jiang Yuer thought, living in such a crowd, it's not okay to be unhappy!

It's not that all the people in the village are good, and there are a few who are not stingy. It's just that everyone has a consensus that they can't do anything bad to the people in their own village. The fist has always been outside, no matter how much of a bastard outside, back in the village, what it should be like, or what it should be.

When there is something in the family, the whole village helps. This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Yuer wants to drive the whole village to get rich. Another is that when my parents died, the people in the village helped a lot. Otherwise, looking at the second uncle's family and the immature brothers and sisters, it is unthinkable to bury the couple.

After the father and mother left, the people in the village also gave a lot of help to the three brothers and sisters. Although it is not a big fish and meat, it still helps a lot with food. Otherwise, the three brothers and sisters, close to the things left by their parents, have been helped by the second uncle's family. I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death a long time ago

What's more, the people in a village have become rich. Who else will care about that little thing in your house? Moreover, in such a good village, if you want to eat alone, you can't do it.

Jiang Yu'er looked at her family, where ginger and wheat were planted. All that's left is the hemp seeds in my room. Seeing that winter was about to begin, the brothers and sisters didn't make their clothes. It's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's that she simply won't. The quilt was also based on the impression of the quilt in his previous life, so he asked his brother to buy a piece of almost linen, put the whole cotton in it, pull it evenly, and sew it up. I made a simple quilt cover, which is easy to disassemble and wash.

It's just that she looked at the three pieces of cloth placed at the head of the bed and had a headache.

When Jiang Ziming pushed the door in, he saw his sister sitting at the head of the bed, looking at the three pieces of cloth in a daze.

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

"Sister is thinking, what should I do with this dress?" The clothes they wore were either made by their mothers when their parents were there, or the second aunt modified their own clothes with the clothes of the second uncle. Although she is a girl, she is really not the kind of person who can do needlework.

Who knows, when Jiang Ziming heard his sister say that he wanted to make clothes, not only was he not happy, but he was frightened. My sister doesn't want to make clothes, she just makes that quilt, and I don't know how many times I've been pricked with needles. Almost the entire left hand was broken by needles. "Sister, do you know how to make clothes?"

Looking at her younger brother's appearance, Jiang Yu'er didn't know what he was thinking. I took the cloth, looked at it, shook my head again, and said, "It's just not going to be bothered." ”
