Li Jia'ao in Lanxia City

It stands to reason that before the Dragon Boat Festival, the watermelon should be ripe.

However, the watermelon this time was not ripe until half a month after the Dragon Boat Festival.

All this is because they missed the planting time before, and the watermelon seeds have not been soaked in spiritual spring water.

On the day when the watermelon was almost ripe, Chen Yang personally brought someone to collect it.

Yes, the watermelons grown by the people of Li Jiaao are in cooperation with the government.

Led by Chen Yang, the same acquaintance of Luyang Mansion, and Lord Wen, the county magistrate of Lanxia City.

After seeing the watermelons, they ordered people to come with a long convoy of horses according to the price they had negotiated before.

The people of Li Jiaao, no matter what their surname, were extremely hot in their hearts when they saw the boxes of silver ingots that were removed from the carriage after the watermelons were transported away.

But the money will not come into their hands for the time being.

The chief said that the watermelon seeds were given by the two of them, and they made money from it, so they had to think about future generations.

Some of the money was used to build roads, some was used to erect monuments, and some was used for banquets, and the rest was divided according to how much each family had planted this year.

The people of Li Jiaao have no opinion on this at all!

They already know that Xie Yan is the champion, and a monument will be erected outside the village, called Zhuangyuan Village.

Then the banquet, this time it must be a big special event, because Yuanniang wrote back before, saying that before they went to work, they would come here.

Also, since they are the champion village, if they are not short of money, the road to the city should be repaired.

Otherwise, there will be dust everywhere on a sunny day, and a foot of mud when it rains.

Didn't you see that since beating their son-in-law of Li Jiaao, Lord Wen and the poor master of the Yamen have come and gone to their side more often?

Some people in the clan went to the yamen to do business, and they were politely entertained by the people in the yamen.

What are these things for, they know in their hearts.

Therefore, the monument must be erected, and the bigger and more conspicuous the better.

The road must also be repaired, and they must not be embarrassed by Li Jiaao's son-in-law.

If there is a banquet, it must be done, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of people who will come when they hear the sound, and they will have to set up a hundred and eighty tables first.

This table must not be bad, it must be purchased for the better, and their champion son-in-law must not be lowered.

So, even if in the end, it doesn't matter if their family only has one or two taels of silver.

They also have sweet potatoes!

They planted this early, and Lord Wen said that it would be sold as seeds when the time came, and the climate here could be planted twice a year.

When June is over, their pockets will bulge again.

Yuanniang is right, leaving Lijiaao in Liuyun County, after coming here, everyone's life will only get better and better.

Even if Lord Chen and Lord Wen both say that the price of watermelon and sweet potato will be lower in the coming year, it doesn't matter.

They just need to earn enough silver for the year, and they are still opening tea gardens every month, and they still have monthly silver collars.

When their tea garden blooms, the tea trees are planted, and they learn the skills in the future, it will be their own.

What's more, Yuan Niang also said that she would go back and buy a small tea garden for the clan......

When the people of Lijiaao were busy opening tea gardens, building roads in their spare time, and looking for someone to erect a monument, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of May, in Lanxia City, Yan Jiao, who was supposed to get married in February, was lying on the bed with a withered face, angry as a gossamer.

Seeing her aunt sitting there silently crying with her back on her back, she wanted to raise her hand, but she couldn't lift any strength in her body.

"Auntie—"

Lin Shi heard her subtle voice, wiped his tears with the corner of his sleeve, quickly came back to his senses, and asked in a dumb voice, "Jiaojiao, are you awake?" Are you hungry or not, my aunt boiled chicken soup, can you drink some? ”

Yan Jiao didn't feel hungry, and was afraid that she would be worried, so she gasped and replied: "Okay! ”

When Lin went out to serve chicken soup, she turned her head to look around the room, and there was a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

She wished that before she died, she could see Sister Yuanniang, see Canniang, and meet Ying Gongzi.

I don't know how many months it is, Canniang should have given birth, right?

Also, her brother-in-law Xie should also be a jinshi, right?

So, what about Ying Gongzi?

He's so smart, he should have a bright future, right?

Lin stood at the door with chicken soup, looking at the skinny man on the bed, his heart was like a knife.

Jiaojiao's illness came urgently, and she was about to get married, but she went out for a trip and fell ill in the evening when she came back.

No matter how many doctors they find, no matter where they look, it's useless.

Seeing that her appetite is getting worse and worse, and people are getting thinner and thinner, they are anxious, but they are helpless.

They wanted to take her to the capital or back to Xinyang Mansion, but the journey was too far for her body to withstand such a rush.

It's only been more than three months, and she only has one breath left.

And the originally set husband's family, the other party saw her situation, so he quit the family.

However, people are not such ruthless and unrighteous people, they didn't ask for anything back after retiring from their relatives, and they took the initiative to send a hundred taels of apology.

This makes them unable to say anything to others.

After all, Jiaojiao is seriously ill, and the problem is at home!

She had a vague sense that Jiaojiao's time was short, and she was thinking about her friends.

Perhaps, it is also possible that he is thinking about Ying Gongzi.

Knowing that her lifespan was so short, she shouldn't have stopped her in the first place......

The Lin family, who felt uncomfortable and abnormal, after feeding Yan Jiao a small half bowl of chicken soup, saw that she didn't want to drink it anymore, so he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Jiaojiao didn't want her to go to the Li clan, that was before.

Now that this is the case, what else does she have to worry about?

The child used to be able to drink some porridge every day, but now he can only drink soup.

If it goes on like this, how many days can it last?

Yan Jiao couldn't hold on to her body because of her illness, and she didn't have much effort after drinking the soup, and she fell asleep again.

Lin called out to the man from the house and asked him to look a little Jiaojiao, while he went out to hire a car and went towards Li's house.

Before she arrived at Lijiaao, she saw a joyful atmosphere all around.

She was not in the mood to care about this, and after seeing people, she asked Li Yuan's grandmother where she lived, and went straight there.

Mrs. Wang and Mr. Li lived extremely comfortably because of the few subordinates sent by Xie Yanzhi.

There are people who do laundry, cooking, and chopping firewood at home, and it can be said that among the elderly people in the entire Li Jiaao, they live the most comfortable.

Mrs. Wang, who hadn't been troubled for a long time, suddenly saw that Lin had lost a lot of weight, not to mention, and her face was sad, and she was startled.

Her old man knew that the person in front of her was Yan Jiao's aunt.

"Aunt Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

Lin didn't talk nonsense, his eyes were full of tears when he heard the words, and he pleaded: "Auntie, when will your maiden come back?" Jiaojiao is seriously ill and dying, and it feels like it's just a matter of the past few days. ”

Mrs. Wang was startled, and she couldn't sit still anymore.

In the past, when she was in Xinyang Mansion, she had a good relationship with Yan Jiao.

Because of Chen Wu's matter, she enlightened the child a lot.

I finally got through it, why didn't I work all of a sudden?
