Chapter 12: It All Begins

Although the era he came in is peaceful at present, what about the future?!

In the memory of the original owner, there are Jurchen and Khitan, as well as the Western Xia peoples.

Even the men on the grassland who once swept the world may exist.

Although, there have been deviations in history, but who knows if there will be some places that will overlap similarly?!

He remembered that in the history of the world in which he lived in his previous life, the Jurchens and those men on the grassland brought great shame and endless pain to Huaxia, which was the darkest history.

Now that he has come to this era, he certainly does not want to be involved in this humiliating history.

What he can do is to build enough self-protection for himself, and the mountain village is just the starting point. But it's definitely not the end!

Song Ningxue did things neatly, and she was also in a hurry, she did what she said, she did not return to the village with Jiang Chao, but turned around and returned to the county seat with the guards.

Jiang Chao returned home, and Su Xiaoxiao was cooking with several women.

She was still a little nervous when she saw Jiang Chao, but she was less afraid of her previous and a little more attached in her eyes.

Now Jiang Chao is gentle and concerned about her, and she has experienced a warmth that she has never had. I really want this kind of warmth to be with her all the time.

"Brother, Xiaocao also helped my sister work! Brother looks at Xiaocao or not! Su Xiaocao ran over happily when she saw Jiang Chao coming back.

Her face was covered with soot, but there was a look of anticipation. She also lost her fear of Jiang Chao.

In the past few days, Jiang Chao's gentleness has made her forget about being beaten by Jiang Chao before, and children are the most forgetful and will not hold grudges.

Her body is slowly getting better.

"Of course Xiaocao is well-behaved, the next time I go to the city, my brother will bring sugar gourds to Xiaocao to eat!"

Jiang Chao squatted down and stroked Su Xiaocao's head, his face full of gentleness.

"Thank you, brother!" Su Xiaocao smiled sweetly, turned around and grabbed a handful of firewood, and stuffed it into the stove.

The nine-year-old girl on the side, holding firewood in her hand, looked at Su Xiaocao with envy on her face, and then looked at Jiang Chao.

She is the little girl who brings her younger brother to do things. Her brother was also on hand to help light the fire.

Jiang Chao walked over and rubbed her head, and smiled at her slightly:

"When it's time to eat, send a bowl to your mother first, and then you can come back to eat, or you can take it back to eat with your mother. In Brother Jiang Chao's place, you don't have to worry about eating. In the future, not only you, but the whole village, I will let everyone have something to eat. ”

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded heavily to Jiang Chao. The little boy on the side looked at Jiang Chao as if he didn't understand, with a slight timidity and caution in his eyes.

Several women who were cooking rice and several women who were pounding flowers and soap horns had a look of gratitude on their faces.

They are all poor and simple people, who have always been hungry, and these days, not only have they not been hungry, but they are still eating.

Moreover, those wild vegetables have an excellent taste after adding oil and salt seasonings. It's something they never dare to think about in their lives.

Not only them, but almost everyone in the entire village worked very hard, and everyone was afraid that they would be lazy and would not be able to pay for their wages and food.

"Jiang Chao! You're a good guy...... In the future, as long as you give you food, we are all willing to do anything to help you, and we can give you our lives......"

One of the women said to Jiang Chao, her eyes slightly red. The other women nodded in agreement.

When Jiang Chao heard this, he laughed a little, the people in the mountains are so sincere.

Especially those who are struggling to survive in the midst of hardship. They are easily satisfied and know how to be grateful.

"Aunt Ming, it's not as serious as you said, as long as everyone works with me, in the future, everyone will be able to eat rice and white noodles at home. You can also eat meat! ”

Jiang Chao smiled at the woman who spoke.

At this time, the steamed buns in the pot were already cooked. Su Xiaoxiao and two women hurriedly took out the steamed buns.

After loading it and putting it in the burden, they carried it to the kiln not far away.

With the supervision of craftsmen and the help of the village head, the first batch of bricks and tiles have already begun to be fired in the brick kiln. Cement-burning kilns also began to be refined.

As long as the firing is almost done, you can start the kiln to build a house, and the quartz sand has not yet been used to make glass products.

At present, before finding a market, Jiang Chao is not ready to fire glass products.

"When...... Home! When the second pot of steamed buns was steamed, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chao without saying anything.

This is the first time she has called Jiang Chao in charge, and before that, she had never called Jiang Chao any name.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?! Are you uncomfortable?! Otherwise, you can take the grass and rest. I'll take care of it here. ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he looked worried and said to Su Xiaoxiao.

"No, I'm fine...... Yes......" Su Xiaoxiao's expression was full of hesitation. There was still some fear in his eyes.

When Jiang Chao heard this, he pulled her into the room with a strange look in his eyes.

The women working outside had an ambiguous look in their eyes.

But everyone didn't see it in front of each other, and the husband and wife just had a harmonious relationship, and they didn't dare to coax.

"What's wrong, Tiny!" Jiang Chao gently stroked Su's little hair.

He cherished the little sister-like wife in front of him. Her sensibility made him feel distressed.

"The family is running out of food. Dinner...... Maybe ......" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chao nervously, her eyes dodging for a while.

She is cooking for everyone according to Jiang Chao's wishes, but there are too many people in the village, and the rice grain is used up too quickly.

The grain brought back by Jiang Chao in the city last time was about to bottom out.

Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that Jiang Chao would blame her for running out of food too quickly. I am also afraid that Jiang Chao will change back to the previous Jiang Chao, and he will start beating her.

"I see, don't worry, I'll let someone buy some later, besides, you take the money first, and then you will pay everyone's wages. As long as you are working, regardless of men, women and children, you will do what I say, and don't treat everyone badly. ”

Jiang Chao handed over the remaining silver to Su Xiaoxiao for more than thirty taels, and he was going to ask the village chief to take someone to the county seat to purchase food.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the silver tael in his hand in astonishment, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. She didn't seem to have imagined that Jiang Chao would let her be in charge. She had never taken any money.

Seeing her stunned appearance, Jiang Chao smiled and stuffed the silver two into her hand.

Jiang Chao still needs to take care of a lot of things in the future, and Su Xiaoxiao is currently the person he trusts the most. He wanted her to be his right-hand man.

"In the future, there will be more and more things at home, and they will become busier and busier, you have to help me take good care of them! The money will be handed over to you for safekeeping. ”

Jiang Chao smiled at Su Xiaoxiao.

"But I'm ...... Illiterate and don't know how to count...... Let me ...... money" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chao timidly, and a moistness swelled in her eyes.
