Chapter 80: Back to the Village
"Thank you, ma'am." After listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, Shi Jin saluted again, and she was quite happy to be left in the Jiang Mansion.
"The butler will tell you the rest of the arrangements, and if you need anything, you can also inform the butler." Mrs. Jiang nodded, and after a few more commands, she let Shi Jin retreat.
When it was approaching evening, Shi Jin saw the housekeeper again, which showed how serious today's matter was.
"What more could you ask for?" Motioning for Shi Jin to go with him, the housekeeper asked.
"There wasn't any, but ...... You also know that my family was originally in the village, and at first I didn't expect to be left behind by the government, so I only brought some luggage to the town, and some things had to be collected back. After thinking about it, Shi Jin responded.
She really didn't ask for anything extra, just wanted to give her a day or two to get back to the village.
If she left the village this time, she probably won't go back.
"It's not a big deal, you go back and clean up tomorrow, and I'll give you three days." After listening to her, the official smiled and promised to leave.
"Do you still remember this yard? Madame specially explained that you mothers and daughters should live here. The housekeeper took Shi Jin to the courtyard she had cleaned up on her first day at Jiang's Mansion, and pointed to the closed door of the house.
"This courtyard ......" Shi Jin didn't expect that she was standing in the courtyard, looking around, very surprised. Thank you, ma'am, thank you butler. ”
"We like well-behaved people in our house, you are delicate, work hard in the house, and I will not treat you badly. It's not too early, so let's go back. The housekeeper had other things, and after explaining a few more words, he separated from Shi Jin outside the hospital.
Seeing the housekeeper walking away, Shi Jin was overjoyed, and deliberately went into the yard to take a turn again, and went to the house to take a look.
In the past, Shi Jin would stay in Jiang's Mansion for dinner, but now there is good news, she can't wait to go back to Liu's house to share it with the children and Granny Yan.
"Really? That's great news! When Granny Yan learned the news, she was very happy for her mother, "Ming'er, let's go back to the village together." ”
Granny Yan has been in town for a few days, and she originally thought that she would go back to the village when Shi Jin's side was confirmed.
Now that it is confirmed, she is very happy for her mother, Shi Jin listened to her and nodded with a smile.
Thinking of going back to the village, Shi Jin couldn't help but think of some plots in the book, "Auntie, what are your plans for the future?" ”
"I don't have any plans, I'm old, and most of them are in the village, and occasionally come to town, just like now." Granny Yan's family has land, but because she is the only one in the family, she needs to hire someone to help farm the land every year.
When the food is beaten, she keeps some chewing, and most of the rest is exchanged for money, and she usually does some embroidery work, so she has a lot of money.
Shi Jin knew this, she was a little entangled, and she didn't know how to tell Granny Yan.
According to the development of the plot in the book, that is, in the past two or three years, there will be a great drought in the world, and at that time, the price of grain will rise so much that even money will not be able to buy food.
As the drought worsened, other calamities began to emerge.
The days are getting more and more difficult, the Zhao family embarked on the road of escaping the famine, the eldest girl and the second girl were sold, and the Zhao family met Zhao Qiancheng again, all of which happened on the way to escape the famine.
But these things, Shi Jin didn't want to tell Granny Yan clearly, she thought for a while, and then she considered speaking, "Auntie, from this year onwards, if you plant land at home, when the harvest comes, you should keep more grain." ”
"Why do you say that?" Granny Yan asked with a strange expression.
"Didn't I say before, I had some dreams and when I woke up, the dreams came true. In the past few days I have had a dream that there will be a great drought in the near future, and I am disturbed. ”
Shi Jin attributed all this to a dream, just like when he explained it to Granny Yan and Yun Niang and others.
"You know, I have some silver in my hand, but I don't dare to spend it, and that's why. When I have more money, I'll think of stocking up on some food, just in case. Granny Yan looked at Shi Jin and nodded when she saw that she looked serious.
"Then I will listen to what you say, and when the harvest is in the autumn this year, keep more grain for you. Don't worry too much, I'll keep the food for you. As far as Granny Yan is concerned, it doesn't matter if she keeps a little more grain, and she didn't expect to live with the money from selling grain.
The next day, Shi Jin and Granny Yan returned to the village with two little girls.
Knowing that Granny Yan and Shi Jin were back, Yun Niang arrived soon, "I was thinking about when you will come back, and this is back!" ”
"Yes, seeing that after February, March and April will be warm, and the ground will be moved, go back to Jinniang and pick a land, and I will ask your uncle to help drop the paperwork for that land." Aunt Rui also came, sitting on the edge of the kang and saying at the same time.
"Thank you Rui Niangzi for thinking about me, it's just a matter of choosing a place to do paperwork, so you don't have to trouble the village chief, I'll come back to pack my things." The housekeeper gave Shi Jin three days, and she planned to leave tomorrow.
"Packing up? Where is this going? Yun Niang asked in surprise.
"I found a job in the town, the main family is in charge of food and housing, and the eldest and second girls can be with me." For Yun Niang and Aunt Rui, Shi Jin did not hide it.
"This is a good thing, if you girls stay in the village, you may have a lot of trouble, or go to the town, anyway, it's not far away, we won't break off contact." As the daughter-in-law of the village chief, Aunt Rui knows all the big and small things in the village.
"Listening to what Rui Niangzi means, the Zhao family must have been going on recently." Shi Jin used an affirmative tone, even if Aunt Rui didn't say it, she could guess that the Zhao family would not stop.
I just don't know, what have they been doing lately?
"Don't mention it, a few days ago, Xing Niangzi had a quarrel with his man, and Xing Niangzi's child was gone during the fight, it happened that Aunt Zhao and her daughter were not at home that day, and when she came back at night, it was a trouble, Aunt Zhao was so angry that she fainted, it was really a toss."
Yun Niang is a doctor, she is pregnant now, most of the big and small things are handled by Dr. Zhao, if Dr. Zhao is not there, he will come to bother her.
It is also a coincidence that when the Zhao family had an accident, Dr. Zhao was not there, even if Yun Niang didn't like the Zhao family, but as a doctor, it was always difficult to care.
Therefore, she knows everything that happened to the Zhao family.
"Xing's miscarriage?" Shi Jin looked surprised, according to the content of the book, this child should not exist.
"Yes, she was clamoring to go back to her parents' house, and after Aunt Zhao was stunned, it was a little bit less." Yun Niang nodded, "I heard that it was because her man was involved in gambling that she made trouble, and Aunt Zhao San also fainted because of this." ”
Aunt Rui sighed and shook her head, "Hey, this good person, why do you have to gamble?" It's also a shame that his daughter-in-law found out early, otherwise, I don't know what will happen in the future! How many of these good gamblers have a good end? ”
