Chapter 16 The Ji family who reclaimed the wasteland
Zhang's sister-in-law Duan Fang is a cheerful person, and as soon as she heard that the second brother came over and said it, she cleaned up some things that Zhang Dazhuang's family was not ready for.
Then he called his man Zhang Dayong and went to the end of the village with Zhang Dazhuang in a low-key manner.
At this time, the Ji family was cleaning the house in full swing, and the three brothers of the Ji family were inspecting some large items in the house.
"This stove is a little collapsed, but it needs to be repaired." Brother Ji said.
"It's a little leaky, and the kang is a little problematic." Ji Laosan also said.
"That's it, let's take a good look at it tomorrow." Ji Lao Er touched his head.
The women are diligent in cleaning, looking forward to staying tonight.
Soon Zhang Dazhuang came with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and brought a lot of things, including kerosene lamps.
Before, the family could be said to be cleaning in the dark, but with this kerosene lamp, it was immediately lit in the house, and the house was much brighter.
Duan Fang's hands and feet were light and diligent, and there was work in his eyes, seeing that Ye Qiuyun was holding Ji Miaomiao and still wanted to help, he stopped:
"There is so much ash here, don't choke the baby, you rest first, I'll just do it with my aunt and sister."
The eldest sister in her mouth is Mrs. Ji and Second Sister-in-law Ji.
With Duan Fang's joining, it is indeed much more relaxed.
It didn't take long for the family to temporarily clean up the place where they were going to sleep.
It's so late now, and I really don't have time to clean up all the places again.
I can only clean up tomorrow during the day.
Before leaving, Duan Fang also said to Mrs. Ji:
"I'll come back later tomorrow to help clean up."
Mrs. Ji was full of responses, and her senses for Zhang Dazhuang's family were not bad.
When they arrived in the new environment, the little boys in the family were very excited, helping the adults to hand things or jump.
It's so late now, but I'm sleepy, and I fell asleep one by one.
Although this house has been abandoned for a long time, it is very large, with three rooms in place, which is just enough for a family.
The family didn't eat at such a late hour, but fortunately, when Duan Fang came over just now, he brought everyone some mixed noodles and steamed buns to cushion their stomachs.
So the family stayed in peace tonight.
It's much better to live in such an unfamiliar place than to wander on the road.
The family slept peacefully tonight.
The next morning, the three brothers of the Ji family, who were the first to get up, walked around the house and outside.
When I came last night, it was too late, and it was so dark that I couldn't see the surroundings at all.
Now that I have a clear view during the day, I realize that the house is not far from the river, and you can walk some distance into the mountain.
This made the three brothers of the Ji family quite satisfied, after all, it was more convenient for them to eat meat and go hunting.
When Mrs. Ji got up, she looked at the grass in front of the house and behind the house and said:
"It's so wide here, we can grow some vegetables to eat if we have cultivated it."
This is the roof of the baby, and it is convenient to grow some vegetables here.
The three brothers of the Ji family also have no opinions, anyway, it's not wrong to listen to Mrs. Ji.
"I don't think it's going to rain in this weather, but it's not good if the eaves are broken, you three brothers will go to the forest to get some branches and leaves after a while, and see if they can be replenished."
However, because she was not sure whether Lin Zi'an was safe, Mrs. Ji also specially advised:
"It's just on the periphery, I think this mountain is quite big and far away, don't go too in."
The three brothers answered, ate the simple breakfast they had prepared, and went into the mountains.
The women of the Ji family cleaned up the items, and when Duan Fang came over, they asked her family to borrow two hoes and plan to reclaim them.
Duan Fang was enthusiastic, and enthusiastically sent some vegetable seeds to the Ji family.
This vegetable is not worth a few dollars, but for the current Ji family, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
The group chatted while cultivating the land, and the Ji family learned that the people of Niutou Village usually took the things they grew to Lin'an County to buy them, and the officers and soldiers there would let them in.
But now there are a lot of displaced people, and in order to prevent riots, they are entering and exiting through small doors.
The Ji family was thoughtful, they still had to think of saving some silver.
Before, on the way to escape the famine, no one cared about the silver or the silver, and the life was going to be gone, so the food must be the most important!
But now that the weather has settled down, if the weather returns to normal in the future, if you want to return to your hometown where your ancestors have lived for generations, you will need to pay for money on the road.
But this matter is not urgent.
Duan Fang left a little later, and the family had to wait for her to go back to cook.
But Mrs. Ji said that she would exchange the meat for some rice noodles.
Duan Fang agreed without saying a word, and sent some rice noodles over before going back.
Mrs. Ji gave her some of the jerky she had made before.
I didn't know that my granddaughter could let them eat meat every day, but Mrs. Ji was reluctant to eat it all at once, so she secretly dried the meat in private.
But because they only showed it after they acted alone, there weren't many.
Duan Fang was quite happy to take the meat and leave, planning to add more food to his children at noon today.
As soon as she left, it happened that the three brothers of Ji Liangqing came back from the mountain with a lot of branches and leaves, and they were busy mending the roof.
Second Brother Ji handed over a fat chicken, and the whole family was not surprised, so they took the fat chicken and dealt with it.
With rice noodles and meat, the Ji family had a satisfactory meal.
Because there was nothing to do, the whole family worked on the ground.
There were many people in their family, and the children were also joining in the fun, but in one afternoon, half of them were cultivated.
"I heard the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family say that people in Niutou Village can go to Lin'an County to sell things, and we have to save some money, and we can ask for money when we go back!"
Mrs. Ji said while calculating: "I thought about it, if we can get meat in the future, we will save some, plant some vegetables to buy, save for a few years, and we will have a coil to go home." ”
However, the old peasants all eat according to God's face, whether they can save enough money in the past few years depends on whether God rewards them or not!
But such a big drought has not affected this side, and there is a high probability that there is no major problem.
Moreover, now that the drought is so severe, the imperial court has ordered no taxes, and the burden on the people has been much lighter.
Ji Miaomiao, who heard this, was thoughtful.
Most families in Niutou Village have to go to Lin'an County to sell things, so it seems that the people of Lin'an County are willing to spend money to buy things.
There's a lot more to her space.
This mall is extremely large, and there are so many things in it, and the family consumption can be consumed until the year of the monkey.
If you take out your own things and sell them, now that the local conditions are available, the living standards of the family can also be improved.
But I can't think about it so much now, she's still young, and she has to borrow other people's hands to take those things, and when she grows up a little, it's also very convenient to take things out and sell them at that time.
The people of the Ji family believed in Mrs. Ji's words, and worked harder to repair the house, reclaim the wasteland, and the relationship with the Zhang family became better day by day.
