The beginning of the new year in the blink of an eye.

This is the first time that everyone in the Jiang family has left the capital for the New Year, and it is also the first New Year for Jiang to spend on a different planet.

Jiang Cheng and the others remembered in their hearts whether the rest of the Jiang family was doing well now, whether they were still alive. And Jiang Luo only thinks about her hometown, in this kind of day of family reunion, her hometown must be brightly lit and fireworks.

She sat in front of the window with a lonely expression, her eyes full of stars in the sky.

Jiang Boning saw that she was depressed, but he didn't dare to come forward to comfort her, he was afraid of disturbing her.

After dinner, Jiang Cheng hid back in his room to read, they had been learning Chinese characters with Jiang Luo for more than two months, and they could almost understand simple books.

Only Berning is stupid, and he can't keep up with everyone's progress.

Chen Xianyue has a great interest in recipes, and she learned from Jiang Luo that there is a place where people with good cooking skills can become star chefs and be respected. I also know that there is a place called Huaxia, which has eight major cuisines, and the food is vast, and some people are extremely poor and cannot eat the food there in their lifetime.

And Jiang Luo also said that in that place, there is no distinction between men and women, and men also need to be loyal to marriage. Everyone can fight for their lifelong ideals, and it is also the norm for men not to marry women because everyone's pursuit is different.

When Chen Xianyue heard this kind of deviant remarks, she felt incredible, how could there be such a place in this world, it must be Jiang Luo's nonsense.

Jiang Cheng is very interested in the thousands of years of history and culture described in books, and almost all except for meals, he reads books.

As for Jiang Ran, she seemed to be curious about everything, but she didn't have any particular interest either.

In spring, Jiang Ran's birthday was on the second day of the second month of February, and she was already eleven years old.

Jiang Luo asked Chen Xianyue to take the people in the village to plant some sweet potatoes, which have low requirements for the growth environment and high yield, and are the best food crops.

More than a dozen families in the village received the seeds from the Jiang family, and they planted vegetables with the Jiang family.

Therefore, the people in the village have special respect for Chen Xianyue.

In the spring of March, the gray village has grown into a patch of turquoise in the vast barrenness.

The snow melted, and the lake in front of the village also stored some water, so they no longer had to run to the river dozens of miles away to fetch water for irrigation.

Looking at the endless vegetables in the village, everyone discussed that it would be better to transport the vegetables in two carts to the town hundreds of miles away to sell, and even if they couldn't be sold, they could exchange some grain and cloth.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Boning also followed them to pull vegetables and set off overnight to buy vegetables in the town.

The town a hundred miles away is called Wushi City, and the city is really lively, which is in stark contrast to the situation of begging along the road.

Jiang Cheng has seen prosperity in the capital, and he doesn't think that this place is much stronger than the village, it is just that there are more people.

After years of drought, these people pulled a few carts of vegetables, and as soon as they entered the city, they attracted the attention of many people.

Some people bought it with copper plates, and some exchanged it for rice and clothes and quilts.

Jiang Cheng's eyes fell on a ready-to-wear shop, where they had already changed two quilts and half a bag of rice. But he wanted to change his sister into clean and beautiful clothes, and his sister used to wear brocade clothes in the capital, and the hairpins on her hair buns were embedded with gems.

Since his exile, he felt most sorry for his sister's suffering.

The boss saw his thoughts, "You can change your two baskets of vegetables into linen clothes at most." ”

"Well, I see that you are pitiful, so how about letting each of you pick a sackcloth?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and refused, "I want a satin dress." ”

"Silk?" The boss laughed, "You little beggar is not small. ”

"Only Mai, love or not!"

Jiang Boning whispered to him, "Let's change two sackcloth, if it is only one satin, but there is none, she definitely doesn't want to wear it." ”

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment, and what she said was that Luo'er was stubborn, if she didn't want to do something, no matter what others said, they couldn't change her mind.

He exchanged two baskets of vegetables and all the copper plates with the boss for two sackcloth and a ready-to-wear skirt.

In the future, he will have to buy more food and vegetables, and he will buy a dresser and rouge jewelry for his sister.

After more than 200 miles of round-trip, they were afraid that the vegetables would not be fresh when they went, so they hurried away. When I got home, I ran out of energy and walked for two days and one night before I came back.

Jiang Cheng secretly thought that when he saved the money, he would take his sister to live in the city.

When she returned home, Chen Xianyue had already fenced the courtyard.

"Luo'er, your brother is back!"

Chen Xianyue smiled on her face, wiped her hands on her dress, and beckoned Jiang to come out.

"Sister~" Jiang Cheng didn't see her for a few days, and he was very uneasy, worried that she would be wronged at home.

He took out new clothes like a treasure and handed them to Jiang Luo, "What do you think this is?" ”

Jiang Luo had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she was really happy, her brother really put her on the tip of his heart.

In the past, she was an only child, and with the love of her parents, she didn't pay much attention to the crystallization of her love, so she was "forced" to be independent since she was a child.

At present, the living conditions are difficult, and she is still pampered like a young lady from a big family. She protested many times, Chen Xianyue and Jiang Cheng always agreed, and they would get used to her as much as they wanted to get used to it in the future.

Jiang Luo looked at the bedding cloth on the cart and a small piece of pork wrapped in lotus leaves, and smiled.

"Wow~" Jiang Luo was surprised, "New clothes." ”

She took it with joy.

Jiang Cheng's hand unnaturally pulled the corner of his patched clothes, he felt that this thing was not worthy of his sister, seeing that his sister was so happy when he saw the linen clothes, his heart was even more sour.

"Does Sister Ran have new clothes?" Jiang Luo's eyes flashed with stars, and he asked expectantly.

Jiang Ran hurriedly waved his hand, "I...... I don't need new clothes, my clothes can still be worn......"

"There are not enough things to change, and there are two pieces of cloth, so I can ask the little lady to make one for Ran Ran."

One piece of cloth can make two pieces of clothing, and these two pieces of cloth can make two pieces of clothing for adults and three pieces of clothing for children.

In this way, everyone in the family can change into new clothes.

Jiang Ran touched the old linen cloth on the car, it looked very dull in color, but it was complete, unlike the patched fabric on her body.

Chen Xianyue was moved to tears, she didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be thinking about her and Ranran.

On this night, the people in the village were full of joy, even more joyful than the New Year.

Some people have eaten meat for the first time in two years, and some people have changed into new clothes.

They didn't know that so many begging homeless people along the road were staring at them, and even secretly followed them to the village.

Nearly 100 displaced people approached the village with their families, and the emerald green color stabbed everyone's eyes.

They didn't expect that the people here would live so well.

The front and back of the village are full of vegetables.
