Subsequently, Wei Zhan asked his uncle to send someone to the town to buy a lot of gifts, all of which were small chickens, pottery balls, wooden spinning tops, bamboo dragonflies, etc., which were played by children and distributed to the friends in the village.

I also bought pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and gave a few Huzi ingots, Erni and Yingbao.

Wang Xian prepared another twenty pieces of cloth and gave them to the Jiang family as a thank you gift for taking care of Wei Zhan.

Jiang Laohan couldn't refuse, so he had to take it.

Early the next morning, the Jiang family put Wei Zhan in the carriage, and Yingbao saw that Mrs. Wen and her two daughters were sitting on a mule cart, and several baskets of dried golden ears were tied to the back of the mule cart, as if they were going to leave with Wang Xian.

Good gone!

Sakura didn't want to get entangled with this person who seemed to be the heroine of the book, lest she become a stepping stone for them.

This time, the production of golden fungus in the village was extremely low, and Steward Zhou didn't come for some reason, so the golden fungus of the people in the village was sold to Mrs. Wensan.

It's not much, it only adds up to more than forty catties, and Mrs. Wen San actually bought it at a price of ten taels and one catties, which made the people in the village very happy.

However, because Mrs. Wen did not have any cash, she made an IOU of more than 400 taels in the name of the Wen family, and asked Patriarch Chen to testify.

Although the villagers were puzzled, Mrs. Wen was still teaching and educating people here, so she didn't hesitate to accept it.

The Jiang family's golden ears were not sold, firstly, there were not many of them, and secondly, they wanted to wait for Steward Zhou to talk about it.

This business must pay attention to integrity, in case the steward comes and can't receive the golden ear, won't it make people feel that the people of Chen Village are not trustworthy.

Jiang Saburo's golden ears are all in Yingbao's cave mansion, and she will not take them out and sell them to Wen San's wife, the Lin family.

The carriage brought by Wang Xian finally drove away.

Wei Zhan lay on the window of the car and cried, so that the women of the Jiang family couldn't help but wipe their tears.

"I will be back soon...... Woowoowoo...... Huzi Yuanbao, don't forget me. ”

Huzi cried and drove out all the way after the carriage.

He is the closest to Wei Zhan, because he has always eaten and slept with him, and has treated him as a brother.

When Wei Zhan saw Huzi coming, he cried even more fiercely, if it weren't for Wang Xian hugging him, he would have jumped out of the carriage and never went back.

Seeing this, the women in the village sighed and watched as several cars gradually moved away.

…

A few days later, it was the wax moon, Jiang Liu, his three daughters-in-law and several granddaughters sat under the porch to bask in the sun, muttering while sewing clothes:

"It's almost time for the sacrifice, hey, my ancestors are going hungry this year. In previous years, there was still a pig's head and a sheep's head, and it was not enough to worship two chickens and two fish, but now, there are not a few domestic animals left by bandits, and even the old cattle in the village have been killed by the damned thieves to eat meat, where is there anything to worship the ancestral gods. ”

Zhou: "It's really not good, there are still a few chickens, and when the time comes, kill one or two as sacrifices." ”

"How's that going to work? There are only a few chickens left in total, and Kaichun also pointed to them to lay a few more eggs to hatch chicks, where can they be killed. ”

Jiang Liu immediately shook his head in denial.

In the past few years, the family has spent a lot of money, especially Jiang Dalang and Erlang, who not only build houses and buy daily necessities, but also make some necessary furniture, and almost spend all the money in the family.

Dani and Erni took the initiative to contribute the money in their hands to add objects to the home.

Fortunately, Jiang Sanlang's family found a lot of grain, which was enough for the whole family to eat until next summer's harvest, so that they would not go to other counties to buy grain like other villagers.

It can be seen that the wax sacrifice is approaching, and it is essential to pay tribute to the ancestors of livestock.

Nowadays, not to mention livestock, I can't even find a few chickens, ducks and geese, and I can't buy them even if I spend money.

"Why don't you go fishing, didn't you catch a lot of fish last year, and you can make smoked fish and preserved fish if you can't finish eating." Dani gives Grandma an idea.

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, "Yes, your second and third uncles are the best at fishing, and when they come back, ask to see if they are free." ”

Using big fish as a sacrifice is not an insult to the ancestors of the gods, and you can take it back to smoke after the sacrifice, and you can eat it until the beginning of spring next year.

The next day, Jiang Saburo and the eldest brother and the second brother came back, and they heard the old lady say this. "San Lang, it's going to be a sacrifice soon, are you still going fishing?"

Jiang Saburo: "I'll see when the time comes." ”

Fishing needs bait, every time the little girl prepares, he doesn't know if the girl still has that kind of bait.

"What do you mean to see when the time comes? The day after tomorrow is the waxing moon, so we have to get ready early. ”

Jiang Liu said: "Your father nagged me early in the morning, your uncle's situation is not good, his house has been burned, and there is no money in his hand, if he hadn't sent some food over a while ago, his family would have to beg for food."

Therefore, your father took the matter of this sacrifice. ”

Jiang Saburo scratched his head and nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

When you get home, take off your mud-stained coat and change into clean cotton clothes.

"What about Bao'er and Xiaojie Xiaowu?" Jiang Saburo didn't see his children, so he asked casually.

Chunniang put aside her dirty clothes and brought her husband a bowl of porridge.

"Write in the house." Chun Niang sat down across the table, "My mother said that I would let you go catch some fish again, and you will use it for the wax sacrifice when you go back, what do you say?" ”

"Then catch it." What else can I do.

Jiang Saburo pondered while drinking porridge.

I remember the last time my girl used golden fungus crumbs to mix the bait in the wheat bran, why don't you do it yourself?

It just so happens that there are some high-quality golden fungus at home, so I will try to get some bad ones.

Early the next morning, Jiang Saburo came to the eldest brother's house with a pot of mixed bait.

"Big brother, call a few people to go fishing together today, will you go?"

How could Jiang Dalang not go, and nodded hurriedly: "Go!" ”

"Okay, I'll call second brother."

Jiang Saburo shouted directly in the courtyard: "Second brother! To go fishing? ”

Jiang Erlang immediately replied: "Of course I go!" When are you ready? ”

"Now, I'll go home and get the net and rope, and you can bring two iron forks." Jiang Saburo went home after shouting.

The people of Dongcun saw that Jiang Saburo went fishing again, and Hulala followed many people.

Even many women and children went to join in the fun.

Jiang Saburo's own bait is very effective, as long as you scatter two handfuls, it won't be long before fish swim over to feed.

The villagers screamed and used baskets and bamboo baskets to catch fish, but they also caught a lot of fish.

The three Jiang Saburo brothers caught a lot of fish, and they couldn't fit a few large and small fish in a basket.

The movement of the people of the East Village near the river attracted people from the West Village and the surrounding villages.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, the people of Xicun also quietly took baskets to fish on the side, not to mention, they also fished several of them.

It was like a hornet's nest, and many people went home and got tools.

For a while, the river was crowded with people, and slowly moved forward with Jiang Saburo's pace.

When the people of Dongcun reacted, they couldn't stop others from getting involved.

"You're shameless! Steal our fish! The people of the East Village couldn't help but scold.

The people of Nishimura sneered: "Which one is yours?" This river belongs to everyone, and everyone has a share in the fish in it, so if you can catch it, we can't catch it? ”

"Then why do you go and fish it elsewhere by yourself, why do you follow us?"

"The road goes to the sky, I like to go wherever I go. What the hell is going on with you? ”
