Chapter 118: A New Journey
In-laws? At this time, the one who can come to the Tian family to help is most likely the Jiang family, and it is only the Jiang family, the most satisfactory in-laws of the Tian family, even if this in-laws are not very rich.
The Jiang family came, but this time it was quite imposing, two ox carts full of farm tools and old people and children, and the ox carts were followed by five strange giant wheelers, which were pushed by several uncles and aunts.
The first ox cart to drive the car was the old man Jiang, this ox cart was borrowed from the Shen landlord's family, because his family had a threshing machine, and hundreds of acres of rice were almost harvested within two days, and the ox cart was redundant, so the Jiang family borrowed it.
The second ox cart driver was Jiang Chang'an, and the other people in the Jiang family did not have this skill, but several adults who could drive the cart went to push the cart.
Over there, seeing her family, Aunt Jiang hurriedly rushed over, her eyes instantly turned red, because she was moved. "Dad, mother, why are you here? Have you finished harvesting all the rice at home? It may rain for a long time in two days. ”
Aunt Jiang is very worried that her parents will patronize her little daughter, and she will delay the harvest at home anyway, and she doesn't know everything that happened to the Jiang family, even if the two families are obviously not very far away.
Old man Jiang's body is almost raised now, and he has even participated in some of his own harvesting, which will be in good spirits, and he will be in a more beautiful mood after seeing his daughter, and he will smile.
"Our rice has been harvested, dried and put into the warehouse, don't worry."
"How can it be so fast this year?" Isn't it a lack of collection? Jiang Xiaogu has a heart, preparing for the worst, and always worrying about it.
"Haha, of course, it's because there is a threshing machine, and there are neighbors in the village to help, so it's naturally fast. The family has changed a lot, and when the harvest is over, you can go home with your father and mother to see. ”
yes, threshing! Old man Jiang's words shocked everyone in the Tian family, how could the Jiang family have a threshing machine? Or both?! Don't even have their Tian family? Twenty taels of silver each!
"Dad, mother, big brother." Tian Wulang also trotted over with his son, but he was still one step slower than Aunt Jiang.
"Grandparents, uncles, cousins, cousins, cousins" Tian Xiaolang is familiar with the relatives of his grandfather's family, and the relationship is even better than his own family, even if they don't come and go often, they will rush forward excitedly.
The children of the Jiang family jumped down from the ox cart one after another, and instantly played with this little cousin, as if they had endless words, and they were happy.
"In-laws, you are here, go home and sit down and have a cup of tea." Old Man Tian and his family hurriedly came over to greet him, and the joy in his tone couldn't be hidden.
This situation is equivalent to the Jiang family's sending charcoal to the Tian family, how can it make people unhappy.
"Hey, we're helping to harvest, what kind of tea to drink, go to the in-laws' house, the family doesn't play that set of fictitious, let's hurry up and grab the harvest, I don't know if your threshing machine is enough, I brought two, I hope it can help."
Old man Jiang secretly waved his hand proudly, in previous years, their family was bitter, and at most they sent two pairs of made baskets to their in-laws, but now, hum, two threshing machines, worth forty taels of silver, please allow him to be proud, he has never been so angry in his life.
"Hey, it's not just a help, it's a big help! It's just in-laws, what is your threshing machine? "Where did you borrow it? You can't buy it, right? Old man Tian looked at the threshing machine, his eyes were very hot, of course he had seen the threshing machine of other people's houses, and it was quite easy to use.
However, the Jiang family should not have so much money, Old Man Tian is very curious, he knows that Old Man Jiang is a carpenter, doing business with foreign countries, and he has many contacts with outsiders and many ways, where is the power of the Jiang family this time?
"Hey, this threshing machine is a gadget developed by my granddaughter and her teacher, it's not worth mentioning, because I do a lot, I feel that I can use it well, so I moved two to the little four.
You know, my little four are delicate and weak, why can't you bring her better farm tools? It's not to save the hindrance of the in-laws. ”
Old man Jiang learned from the appearance of Master Song in his memory, and pretended to stroke a few of his sparse beards.
At this time, not only the old man Tian, but also the Tian family present were all dumbfounded, thinking, what crazy things is this old man talking about?
The threshing machine played by the granddaughter of the Jiang family? Which granddaughter? The stupid one? Ahaha
Everyone's eyes turned to the little fool, and then they realized that the little girl's eyes were not as dull as before, and besides, she was still driving the ox cart?! What the hell is this situation?
Is Niu crazy or is the Jiang family crazy? Let a stupid kid catch a car? Surprisingly, I came all the way safely.
For a while, everyone looked at Jiang Changan with visitatory eyes, but they didn't dare to ask superfluous words.
However, Aunt Jiang is from her own family, so she doesn't have so many scruples, so she asked directly in disbelief, "Dad, you said that the threshing machine was made by our family?" Niece did it? Which niece? It won't be Chang'an, right? Can the things made in Chang'an be used? ”
has a teacher's niece, isn't the Jiang family only in Chang'an studying, but how can a little fool in Chang'an be a threshing machine? Don't be laughing to death.
Of course, Aunt Jiang didn't dislike her niece, she just couldn't believe it.
"Well, why can't it be used? The adults in the yamen are using their drawings to make threshing machines, and our family uses them very well anyway, and we have sold 100 of them.
Besides, Chang'an has been learning carpentry from me since she was a child, isn't it normal for her to be able to make threshing machines? What's more, there is also the handwriting of Master Song in the middle. ”
Hey, was that scared? Therefore, you can't underestimate anyone, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
"Huh? Is it really a threshing machine made by Chang'an? Aunt Jiang looked at Jiang Changan with a hazy head, still unable to believe that this was true.
Jiang Changan smiled shyly and didn't say anything.
"Ahh I remember, this year's preliminary examination for the literary examination in Chang County, the mountain private school won two first places, one of which is still a girl, surnamed Jiang, could it be Chang'an? ”
Tian Goro exclaimed, the person who developed the threshing machine with Noh Fuzi still has a great chance of getting the first place in the exam.
"Hey, those are all false names, and they are not admitted to Xiucai, we in Chang'an still need to work hard.
Let's go, now hurry up and grab it, and go back to build a house when it's done, and burn pottery, burn bricks and tiles, and make board cars.
It's also a mess at home, but the summer harvest on your side is more urgent, so let's finish it first. ”
If you do a good deed, of course, you must know to the owner, so that you can remember this love, and the relationship will become more intimate.
Old man Jiang showed off while contacting feelings.
Everyone was speechless, can you exaggerate more? It's a fantasy.
"But no, little sister, I'm just for your family's summer harvest, and even the business of rock sugar water has been suspended, brother, I'm okay with you?"
Jiang Laosan did not let go of the opportunity to perform at any time, and did not hesitate to join the ranks of showing off, pushing the wooden cart to come to Jiang Xiaogu.
Everyone knows again, it turns out that the rock sugar water that is popular in Laichang County is actually the business of the Jiang family's three rooms.
Duotian Town is close to the county seat, and the news is still very well-informed, and several concubines of the Tian family have been yearning for rock sugar water, but they have never tasted it until now, but it turns out that this is made by the Jiang family?
But Aunt Jiang was not interested in rock sugar water, but became curious about the cart pushed by several elder brothers, "Third brother, what are you doing with this car?" Was it made by our father or Chang'an? ”
There are five cars in one place, which looks more stable and spectacular than a wheelbarrow, so what's the use of this kind of car?
"Of course, the car is made in Chang'an, you don't look at its ordinary appearance, but it can walk in the field, can bear a lot of weight, and one person can easily push, commonly known as 'off-road vehicle'.
It's more convenient than our ox cart, our family can only pick one load of rice per person, but you can put three loads on this cart and push it home alone, otherwise why do you think our family can harvest rice so quickly? ”
Jiang Laosan raised his head angrily, people who didn't know thought that this car was made by him.
Jiang Changan turned his head to look at the third uncle in surprise, it's quite avant-garde, he knows the off-road vehicle, don't you wear it, right?
Of course, that's impossible, but Jiang Laosan must be angry, who makes the harvest season in previous years, and who in their family is not a few pounds.
And this year, with threshing machines and giant wheels, it is light, and no one is tired, let alone thin.
"Come on, come on, brother-in-law, you all come and try it, it's very useful." Jiang Laosan motioned for the brothers of the Tian family to step forward and push the cart.
How to drop, people are here to help, and the farm tools have been delivered to their hands, of course they want to next, and the Tian brothers have stepped forward to replace the vehicle.
"Black, it's really easy to push." Even people like them, who don't work often, can push the cart steadily.
A group of people immediately admired Jiang Changan, and they walked to the field while chatting, and the scene was very lively.
But at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly interjected into the conversation between the brothers and sisters, "Oh, fifth brother and sister, your mother has really made a fortune, and you were still worried about your mother's family just now."
Now that the Jiang family has stood up, they will immediately repay you, which is really blessed, but her third brother, if your family has something in the future, you have to notify the fifth brother and sister in time, which will save her from worrying. ”
Tian's second sister-in-law said that her mother's family was similar to the Jiang family's background in the past, but now that the Jiang family is suddenly rich, will her worth become the bottom?
But, don't be too happy too early, the Jiang family's wealth has little to do with her, a married girl, right? Otherwise, how could everything not be silent with the Jiang family?
The meaning of this provocation should not be too obvious, Jiang Xiaogu's face sank, and she habitually wanted to go back.
But the Sanfang Jiang family was faster than her, and specially nodded to Tian's second sister-in-law and said, "That's not it, the youngest girl in our family, how can it hurt and spoil it."
Oh, the two threshing machines were given to my little sister, and the five cars were too, my mother-in-law said that the family was in average condition back then, and my sister-in-law did not prepare a dowry when she got married.
It's really a little sorry for her, but now, these objects should be regarded as adding makeup to my sister-in-law. ”
Of course, these words were read by the two elders when they were in the Jiang family, the old man of the Jiang family is not good at dealing with Tian's second sister-in-law, and Jiang Laosan is not good at worrying about a man and a woman.
But the Jiang family has no scruples, everyone is an equal, what's wrong with you? Not wronged.
At this time, not only Tian's second sister-in-law was sour, but the Tian family was all surprised, "In-laws, this." Isn't it too expensive? And the Jiang family has also married into the Tian family for many years.
"Hey, we parents, always try our best to give our children the best, a piece of parental heart, it's not worth it."
Yes, it is natural for parents to care for their children, and it is also natural for children to be filial to their parents.
Aunt Jiang was about to cry again when she heard this, she was the luckiest, she was the luckiest to have such parents and marry someone she liked
Of course, the turnaround is mainly thanks to the little niece, Jiang Xiaogu's sister-in-law caressed Jiang Changan's little head lovingly, and it was really right to buy her cloth to make clothes before, "Our Chang'an is getting more and more breathing." ”
"Hehe, auntie." It will be more promising in the future, of course, it is not easy to announce it before it is realized, Jiang Changan smiled shyly again.
Such a loving side, so that the two elders of the Tian family are relieved for a while, the Jiang family has always given the impression of the Tian family is such a harmonious and harmonious, the Jiang family has family love, and self-love, in order to get the respect of others, so the two elders of the Tian family will especially like the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
Everyone didn't take Tian's second sister-in-law in their eyes at all, so let her go sour by herself.
But in fact, because of Jiang's turnaround, the sour person is not only Tian Di's sister-in-law, but even Tian's sister-in-law frequently looks sideways, it is a threshing machine, one is twenty taels, and selling one hundred is two thousand taels.
Even if the Jiang family wants to share the profits with others, it will be a thousand taels, and this transaction can continue for a long time, and the Jiang family has really become rich.
A group of people soon came to the field, and the long-term and short-term workers of the Tian family in the field had already begun to work, and now came to the main family, and then to the Jiang family and the threshing machine.
In the end, Jiang Lao Er distributed a sickle to the Tian family, which was like a tiger with wings, and directly stirred up the excitement in the field to the peak.
However, the Jiang family only helps the Tian family do one day's work, anyway, with the threshing machine, the Tian family can also invite more people to help, and the coolies at this time are worthless.
Of course, the Tian family is not good for the Jiang family to do coolies, and when it was still early, the Tian family prepared a table full of meals to entertain the Jiang family.
The two sides get along very well.
In the evening, the Jiang family finally returned to the village in an ox cart, and under the big tree at the entrance of the village, Li Shushen leaned there quietly with his hands on his chest, obviously waiting for a long time.
"Shushen, are you waiting for Chang'an? Go, get in the car, go home and play. "Li Shushen, who is white and pure, is as temperamental as a son, which makes Old Man Jiang grin unconsciously when he sees it.
"Grandpa Jiang, I have something to do with Chang'an, and I'll go to Jiang's house later." Li Shushen motioned for Jiang Changan to get out of the car, while reporting to Old Man Jiang.
"Okay, okay, then you're busy." The first time he saw the children's families, they were still mysterious, and Old Man Jiang was amused, but he also knew that these two were smart children, and he didn't worry about them.
But Jiang Lao Er frowned, men and women were seven years old, they didn't sit at the same table, did these two get too close even if they were senior brothers and sisters? It's simply not out of focus, and it's not out of focus.
However, children in rural areas, no matter what, can't be too demanding.
It wasn't until the two ox carts were far away that Jiang Changan said loudly, "What? Ready to go? Ready to go? ”
"Well, how about leaving tomorrow?" Yes, they're about to embark on a new journey.
Jiang Changan nodded without hesitation, he had already said good things, there was nothing to regret, "Okay, let's go and see your life experience first?" ”
"Yes." In his previous life, time did not allow, Li Shushen had never been to the place where his parents were originally to see it, and in this life, he wanted to take a good look.
What kind of people are those two people?
