Chapter 35: Naming Jiang Village

"Ahh

Some people were hungry for too long, and after eating four or five bowls of green vegetables and radishes, their stomachs exploded, and they fell to the ground bleeding from their mouth and nose.

The wound on Wu Yong's arm had been treated, and Uncle Sun told them about carrying water for irrigation and farming in the village every day.

These green radishes have a short growth cycle and high yields, and their village has stored radishes from several cellars.

It's just that the water in the river, twenty miles away, is getting less and less, and if it continues, I am afraid that the sweet potatoes and wheat planted in the fields will wither before autumn.

In the middle of the night, the people in the village went home, and the displaced people who followed Wu Yong into the village could only huddle together and endure the cold wind of the steep spring night.

Looking at the faint lights in the village, they were envious and sighed, if they could be like these people in the village, with a place to live and something to eat, who would want to run around and rob everywhere for a living.

Before dawn the next day, Wu Yong stood guard in front of Jiang's house, waiting for them to get up.

Jiang Cheng handed them half a bag of green vegetable seeds, which were enough to be planted all over the mountains.

They rarely have enough to eat, and they are extremely diligent in their hands and feet, and even make two or three trips a day to carry water for irrigation.

Slowly, even the vegetable field of the Jiang family and the land of Uncle Sun's house will be watered.

A month later, they looked at the green vegetables all over the mountains and were moved to tears.

Finally, you don't have to go hungry, you can have food to eat.

They carried water during the day and cut wood at night to build houses.

On the eve of summer, dozens of new houses were erected in the village, and they finally settled down.

The sweet potato harvest in the field is enough for the people in the village to eat for half a year.

The hot sun was setting, the breeze was blowing, and there was finally a hint of coolness.

Jiang Luo and they surrounded the new courtyard with an earthen wall, and the house was half covered, which was much more spacious.

At the same time, a cellar was dug in the yard to store sweet potatoes and turnips.

Ginger planted some peppers and eggplants behind the house, and carefully watered them every day, and the growth was gratifying.

She sat in the courtyard, and the family sat around the stone table drinking sweet potato porridge and discussing the work to be done tomorrow.

Jiang Ran ran out of the house happily, holding a freshly embroidered lotus flower in her hand, the stitches were rough, and the shape of the lotus flower was twisted and twisted, if she didn't explain in advance that it was a lotus, Jiang Luo would still be a mutated species.

"Mother~ Do you see that I have made progress?" She looked at Chen Xianyue happily, expecting her recognition.

Chen Xianyue couldn't hold back her laughter, and almost choked on herself with a mouthful of porridge.

Jiang Cheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly, "General." ”

"Brother Berning, what do you see?" Jiang Ran is looking forward to it.

Jiang Boning took it, looked left and right, and replied sincerely, "This flower is a little ugly." ”

She bit her lip aggrievedly, tears rolling in her eyes.

Jiang Luoyi snatched it from Jiang Boning's hand and admired it carefully, "Sister Ranran, don't listen to them, they are both big men, they know what embroidery." ”

"I think it's pretty good, you look at the lotus flowers......" she paused and complimented sincerely, "what a uniqueness." ”

"Sister, why are you embarrassed to say that we don't know embroidery?" Jiang Cheng laughed at her, "Your slender jade hands can't even take a needle." ”

"Brother!" Jiang Luo couldn't hold his face, "Alas, forget it, who made my brother not love me now." ”

"If you dislike it, you will dislike it, and I'll run away from home tomorrow."

"Nope." Jiang Boning stood up excitedly, and he panicked to stop him.

"Embroidery can't be eaten as food, and Sister Luo'er doesn't need to know it."

His reaction was so great that it startled everyone.

Jiang Ran didn't notice what they said at all, and only recalled with joy that Jiang Luo praised her for embroidering lotus flowers, which were unique.

She will definitely not disappoint Luo'er's sister, and when she is more proficient in practice, she will embroider her sister's clothes with flowers.

Chen Xianyue got up with a smile and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and let them gag nonsense.

Jiang admitted that he really asked, "Sister, I haven't asked you, why did you leave Wu Yong and them?" ”

Jiang Luo replied directly without thinking about it, "In this world now, most of the people can't eat enough, but we can, do you think they can tolerate us?" ”

"But what if it ......" Jiang Cheng recalled that day, he was already frightened, what if Wu Yong didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on killing everyone, what if he snatched the food from the village?

"If we kill us, we will kill them, if they don't kill them, others will come and kill us." Jiang Luo patted Jiang Cheng's arm, "My good brother, they can still tell the difference." ”

"Look at now, isn't our village already beginning to take shape~" Now at this time, if someone comes to rob the house, won't there be more people who resist.

At this time, Jiang Luo didn't know that disaster relief had begun in Anzhou and Qinzhou, and most of the victims were scattered near the state cities in these two places.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, there was a quick knock at the courtyard door.

Jiang Luo was awakened, and his heart was beating wildly. Ever since she came to this hellish place, she had been frightened at every turn, and her proud vigilance had weakened her nerves.

"Uncle Sun, what is the matter with you early in the morning?" Chen Xianyue opened her mouth and saw that it was him and several young and strong middle-aged men in the village.

"Madam, where is Ah Cheng? Did you get up? Uncle Sun asked with a smile.

"Yes...... What's the matter? ”

Chen Xianyue couldn't help but get nervous.

"Nothing, nothing. The big guy invites you to go to the village to discuss things, and you bring Ah Cheng Boning and them all with you. ”

Jiang Luo also went out together in a daze, and when he arrived under the big willow tree in the village, he learned that it was a sweet potato harvest, and now they are not short of food and drink.

It's just that none of these people in the village are literate, and I heard that Ah Cheng has read books for more than ten years when he was young, and he has a university question, so he wants him to inscribe the name of the village on the stone.

After the craftsmen in the village engraved, the tree is at the entrance of the village.

Jiang Cheng agreed, "It's easy to write, as long as you don't dislike the ugliness of my writing." ”

"Oops! Ah Cheng, don't say that, you're a university questioner. Uncle Sun said with a smile, he looked at the children of the Jiang family, and the more he looked at them, the more happy he became.

"I don't know what the name of the village is?" He asked.

"What did we call Beihu Village here before, but we have discussed it, and it will be called Jiangjia Village in the future."

Uncle Sun was in tears, if it weren't for the people of the Jiang family who brought them vegetables and radish seeds, how could anyone survive, and the people of the Jiang family would be their lifesavers.

"It's fine."

Jiang Cheng's mind flashed the books he had read, and he picked up the pen and wrote three neat and atmospheric words on the big stone, in standard italics, with "Jiangjia Village" written on it.

"That's a pretty word!"

"How is this different from the sign I've seen in the city before?" When someone asked, the person next to him raised his hand and slapped him on the head and scolded, "You know what a fart!" ”
