Chapter 119: This... Is it Jiang Ling?
The road under your feet is freshly built, smooth and wide.
There are constantly shouts of "one or two" coming from afar, which makes people feel energetic when they listen to it.
In the distance, under the lush mountain forest is a new dam that has just taken shape.
Jiang Jin's understanding of this knowledge can be used with the word "scarce".
All she could see was a newly opened river channel and a half-dry canal.
On the dam that has just been formed, there are constantly workers carrying wooden stakes, bamboo strips, and masonry on their backs, shuttling and busy.
The sun was scorching, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down and merged with the canal.
Jiang Jin couldn't tell how he felt.
In front of this, she is tiny.
She even thinks now how ridiculous she was when she answered the questions in the government exam a while ago.
With books, a few strokes are used to talk about water control and people's livelihood.
It just so happened that a team had just gotten off the boat, and Jiang Jin walked with them.
In this team, there are old and young, young and strong, and the leader is an old man with a hunchback.
The old man, looking at the brocade dress she was wearing, kindly asked her what she was going to do.
Jiang Jin replied respectfully: "Xiaosheng is here to find the Jiang County Order. β
"Ah, the county lord is not here now." The old man flipped his back, "He went down to the village to see the flood canal." β
"Floodway?"
Jiang Jin asked puzzled.
In her understanding, a dam is a wall that holds back water.
But when she came here, it was clear that the dam was not what she understood.
Her knowledge reserve is here, I'm afraid it's the lowest, so she doesn't understand and asks, and she doesn't feel any shame.
At the same time, she was also sighing, sure enough, it was useless to be a scholar.
"This ditch was dug last year, this side is constructed, that side is easy to block, and the rainy season is coming, the ditch at the head of the ground, the bamboo ditch also has to be dug."
The old man's face was dark, but his smile was very kind, "Blame Dole for what you still have to do, the little boy should come with me, although the county lord is not here, his son-in-law should not have left yet." β
Jiang Jin thanked him in time.
The noun in the old man's mouth, she couldn't understand it.
I just feel taught.
It really didn't come in vain.
At the same time, she was also surprised that Jiang Ling was here.
Originally, she thought that this cousin would be frustrated and hide, but she didn't expect to follow her uncle to this place.
Thinking of the appearance of Jiang Ling at the last time, and the memory of him in his previous life, the corners of Jiang Jin's mouth also hooked up a smile.
Perhaps, this is the best outcome.
Along the way, Jiang Jin asked the old man a lot of things.
Knowing that the old man took the initiative to help, she couldn't help but be shocked for a moment.
The old man waved his hand and said he didn't care, "In the past, a few dolls had to be washed away every year, and the collapse of the house was a trivial matter, but now that someone is willing to take care of us, we will naturally not watch it, and it will be completed as soon as possible, and it is not the people who will benefit." β
"The county lord said that he wanted to pay us, and we were embarrassed to ask for it, and the food for Xi Yunge was expensive, so why should we be embarrassed to accept the money."
Xi Yunge's meal?
Jiang Jin was shocked again.
Aono just said that he would send it once, but he didn't say that he would send it all the time.
However, she didn't have much of an opinion.
As a citizen living in Anfu County, she should also contribute.
"Little boy, the biggest shed in front of me is, and I won't send you there."
Jiang Jin and Qingshan hurriedly thanked each other and separated from the old man.
What he saw and heard along the way made Jiang Jin smack.
The shack in front of him made Jiang Jin even more stunned.
This shack can only be described by the word shabby.
It is estimated that if it rains heavily outside, it will rain lightly inside the house.
Jiang Jingang thought about what to say to Jiang Ling after entering.
The last time they were separated, the scene was not so good.
Jiang Jin was still hesitating.
I saw Jiang Ling, who had just walked out of the house, wearing coarse cloth clothes and holding drawings in his hands.
The person in front of him almost didn't recognize Jiang Jin.
He was also tall, black and thin, with clear eyes, and although he still had the face of a young man, his jaw was already sharp.
This is a miniature version of the uncle!
This, this, this!
When the two met before, although Jiang Ling had lost some weight, he was obviously hungry and thin, and the whole person was in a trance, and he could fall when the wind touched him.
Now this, I'm afraid if I throw it into the ditch, I can swim back by myself!
"Cousin?"
Jiang Ling was also stunned, but his expression was obviously much calmer than Jiang Jin's.
Jiang Jin saw that he explained to the people behind him twice, and came to himself.
She also had a smile on her face, "Cousin." β
For a moment, a little embarrassed, she asked again, "How are you doing?" β
Jiang Ling scratched his head, "Uh, it's good." β
He put down his hand and saluted Jiang Jin, and he still had the demeanor of a son of a family in his gestures, "I haven't congratulated my cousin on winning the test yet." β
"Where." Jiang Jin returned the gift.
The scene was embarrassing for a while, although there was nothing between her and Jiang Ling, but the affairs of the previous generation would still affect it more or less.
She still misses Jiang Ling who was always pulling the corners of her clothes behind her before.
Instead, Jiang Ling spoke first, "Is my cousin here looking for my father?" β
"Well, yes."
Jiang Jin did not deny it, "Mr. said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, and asked me to come here to take a look." β
Jiang Ling said "oh oh" twice.
Jiang Jin paused for a moment, then asked, "Over at the academy, aren't you going back?" β
"If you don't go back first, I've already taken a leave of absence with the mountain chief, and it's the same for me to follow my father here."
Jiang Ling smiled slyly and raised the drawing in his hand, "Father went to the village today, if it goes well, he will be able to come back in the evening, do you want to go to another village with me first?" β
"Okay."
Jiang Jin readily agreed.
Jiang Ling asked her to rest here first, and then ran to greet someone.
Jiang Jin watched him wearing a straw hat and running up and down the river embankment, extremely dexterous, and the sounds of "uncle" and "uncle" kept shouting out of his mouth.
When he returned, he was already followed by three servants.
"I'm going to Lijia Village today, there are 100 households, and the six of us are about the same." Jiang Ling smiled, "Cousin, since you're here, can you also help with the work?" β
Jiang Jin naturally agreed, "But the ugly words are in front, I don't understand anything, I'm just a stinky student." β
Jiang Ling shook his head as he walked, "Cousin, don't worry, you are good at this." β
Jiang Jin: ???
She really didn't know what she was good at.
Jiang Ling played her a dumb riddle.
Along the way, he gave her a brief description of the dam.
Only then did she learn that in addition to the main dam, there was also a secondary dam under construction.
Some projects such as valve channels, sand discharge gates, diversion canals, flood control levees, and intake gates are also being improved one by one.
What we are doing now is an emergency plan.
The uncle was responsible for ensuring that the ditch was drained smoothly.
Jiang Ling took on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the people.
"Cousin, I also said ugly things ahead, no matter what happens, you can't run!"

Jiang Jin: No, no...... No way!?
Jiang Ling: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
