Jiang Yan had a brain collapse one by one, these stupid sons: "The mountain road is uneven, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, do you think it is so simple to carry water?" ”

Jiang Yan said angrily with a straight face: "According to what you say, the three of you are busy carrying water and digging wells, who picks green leaves for me, and who goes to the town to sell rice rolls?" ”

Jiang Yan didn't say much, she already had a general idea in her head, just left some space for her sons to think, cultivate their thinking ability, if there was a good way, it would be better, and she didn't follow her method anymore.

A few people began to think hard, the sun gradually set in the west, and Jiang Yan took a few people to rush home.

Tomorrow I have to go to the town to sell rice rolls, and tonight the family will make cold tofu.

Her purpose today is to find a water source, found a lot of things and did not pick, so she picked two wild Ganoderma lucidum, she was lucky, Lingzhi has been sprayed with powder, all have grown, but the size is not very large, sold for thirty-eight taels of silver, is the most income she has so far.

In addition, when she found a water source today, Jiang Yan flew up in a good mood, and couldn't help but jump a few times when she went down the mountain.

When I got home, I simply washed the dirt on my body as usual.

The two daughters-in-law have already prepared dinner, Jiang Yan has been used to eating brown rice in the past few days, and under her majesty, the daughter-in-law is also willing to put oil and salt when cooking, and it is not too bad to eat.

"Why hasn't the third child come back yet? It's time to eat. ”

Jiang Yan looked out of the door suspiciously, the sky had already darkened, and Lin Xi had gone out to carry water and had not come back yet.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xi came back with two buckets of water, and when the water was put away, she said, "Mother, I'm back." ”

"Why did you go for so long?"

Lin Xi showed pity on his face, and choked up: "Uncle Gen in the former village sold the small stone, and he was just negotiating the price with his mother-in-law, saying that he would come over tomorrow and pull it away. ”

Jiang Yan frowned, remembering that the child named Xiaoshi was about the same age as Lin Feng, and he had come to her to eat cold tofu a few days ago.

Little Stone's father, Lin Gensheng, is a kind-hearted honest man, and he has helped Lin Xi and them many times before, so Little Stone was sold, and everyone was pale and helpless.

"Xiaoshi's mother is sick, Uncle Gen spent all the family's money to treat Xiaoshi's mother, and in order to save a few mouthfuls of food, he almost starved himself to death......"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, Wang Jinhua also said with a white face: "That lady came to our house today to ask, I drove it out, mother, we still have food at home, if you can't do it, you can go up to the mountains to find food, but you can't sell the child!" ”

Jiang Yan nodded, thinking of the face of the mother-in-law, she hated it for a while, the living person may really be starved to death, this person is hungry, the bark is eaten, then Lin Gensheng is afraid that he is reluctant to let his wife and children suffer, but he is a big man in his family, if he is really starving to death, his wife and children will not be able to live sooner or later.

Lin Dong hurriedly said: "My mother won't sell us, our family can now go to the town to sell rice rolls to make money, and when the autumn harvest comes, there will be grain to sell for money!" As long as our family works hard, we will definitely not starve to death! ”

Lin Xi opened his mouth and said: "However, God doesn't rain, and the people in the village say that our place is not auspicious, and it must have collided with the god of the land or the god of heaven, otherwise it won't rain less and there will be more drought." ”

Jiang Yan didn't know what to say.

In the past, she was a believer in evil and not in God.

But now, I have changed my body in a different era, and if I don't believe in this, science can't explain it.

In the years of famine, the older generation always thought that they would eat less, and their children would eat more.

Jiang Yan's face was gloomy, she couldn't help these people, the only thing she could do was not to let herself face this situation, so she still had to work hard to make money!

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dark, Jiang Yan took out the pig stewed during the day and cut it into thin pieces: "Third child, you take this bowl of braised pork and follow me to your uncle's house." ”

Jiang Yan is still soft-hearted in the end, thinking that her children have received favors from others, maybe it was because of the kindness of others that they did not starve to death, she still wanted to go and see, not to mention anything else, what if there was medicine in the mall that could cure Lin Gensheng's wife's life?

Lin Xi smelled the bowl of fragrant braised pork in his hand, and his saliva was gluttonous, but he just licked his mouth and waited at the door obediently.

After Jiang Yan returned to the house, she bought ten catties of soba noodles in the mall, and then carried them out with a cloth bag: "This is the soba noodles I bought before, and I want to keep it for later, since Uncle Gen's family is in difficulty, let's send it over." ”

Lin Dong nodded, his eyes were a little red: "Mother, Uncle Gen used to quietly bring us food, and he took us to his house to eat several times, but I didn't expect it...... Now it's more difficult than our home. ”

Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Since our family has food now, let's send some over, others are kind to you, that is the kindness of others, but it is not taken for granted, you all have to remember these feelings." ”

Several people looked up at Jiang Yan, and they always felt that their mother was different from before, but they couldn't say what was different, but they liked her mother very much.

Jiang Yan took Lin Xi to the front village, with the help of the lights of each house, the two groped on the winding path, this will be the happiest time of the day, everyone is the happiest, because most of the people in the village cook and eat at this time, the children's frolicking jokes at home are endless, and the evening breeze blows, as if all the troubles no longer exist......

After all, Lin Gensheng's family is in the former village, although he has emptied his family funds for his wife's treatment, but the house is still there, and the adobe house is also one of the best in the village.

At this time, every family was busy eating dinner, and Lin Gensheng's family was no exception, leaving his elderly father and his sick daughter-in-law, as well as two young sons.

When Jiang Yan arrived, the two sons were hugging Lin Gensheng and shedding tears, most of the children in the peasant family were precocious, even if they were single-digit age, they were all well-behaved and sensible, and few were naughty.

Jiang Yan was distressed by this scene, Xiao Shi knew that he was going to be sold, and he had already accepted everything, not only did he not cry and make a fuss, but comforted Lin Gensheng, who couldn't cry.

Jiang Yan reached out and knocked on the wooden door, and the sound of a knock interrupted the family's crying.

Lin Gensheng wiped a handful of tears in a panic, and after seeing that it was Jiang Yan, he looked surprised: "Aunt Jiang, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard the third child talk about your family, I'll come over to take a look, how is my sister-in-law?" Are your bones better? ”

Lin Gensheng was obviously surprised, he smiled embarrassedly, and then hurriedly took out two small benches: "You sit down, Iron Hammer, you go and pour two bowls of water." ”
