There were several widows in the village. The one who left a deep impression on Jiang Yan was Lin Cong's mother. She was a migrant who settled in Linjia Village. When she came, she brought Lin Cong, who was only seven or eight years old, and claimed to the outside world that she was a widow.

Later I found out that she was from the brothel. She was used to staying in the brothel and had not settled down in the past few years since she returned to the village. Many men in the village had slept with her.

Both widows, Jiang Yan had a reputation for being fierce and domineering, but Lin Cong's mother was the opposite. In the first few years after she arrived in the village, she still had a somewhat plump charm, and she was always in the brothel.

She has a good skin and speaks softly and charmingly.

Most of the women and girls in the village were not good-looking, and due to years of hard work, they were all thin, dark and rough. This only served as a foil to Mother Lin, allowing her to thrive in the village.

Less than two years after arriving in Linjia Village, as a widow, she suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to a son. This became a lively event in Linjia Village for a while, causing the women in the village to curse frequently. Whose was the little son?

No one dares to admit it so far, and she herself refuses to say it.

However, Mother Lin doted on her little son and kept him well fed and well fed. On the contrary, it was Lin Cong who had been trained by her since he was a child. She beat and scolded her all day long and wished he was dead. At such a young age, Lin Cong

Cong has always been a labor force in the family, and now that he has grown up, he has to support a whole family.

It is precisely because of the same family environment that he and Lin Xi can get along and become good friends who talk about everything.

"Lin Cong, if there is anyone in the village who is willing to sell broad beans, you can also take some." Seeing the basket of broad beans, Jiang Yan had an idea in mind.

Lin Cong put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Auntie, but there aren't many families growing broad beans in the village this year. Auntie, how much do you want? I can harvest it."

"You can charge two to three hundred catties. You can negotiate the price with the villagers. There is no need to deliberately lower the price. Just charge it according to the market or town price."

There are not many families growing broad beans in the village, but Lin Cong is a smart man. In addition to collecting mountain products in Linjia Village, he will also go to several nearby villages to collect them. If the nearby villages are not enough, he will continue to go to further villages.

The life of the villagers in these ten miles and eight villages is not easy. There are vendors selling small things here and there, and they may not necessarily buy them, but there are people who come to the village to collect mountain products. Even without them, they can go to the mountains to pick them. As long as they can exchange money, everyone is happy to do so.

Go up the mountain diligently.

"Auntie, what do you need so many broad beans for? A few hundred kilograms is a lot."

"Just go and collect it as I say. How much money you have can come to my Xiaowu to get the bill."

Although there are broad beans in this world, there is no doubanjiang. Jiang Yan plans to open a restaurant in the future, so doubanjiang is an indispensable condiment. Moreover, even if the doubanjiang is sold alone, it will be a big income.

"Okay, I'm just going to the village to have a look." Lin Cong ran out with a smile.

Jiang Yan turned her head and said to Tao Bai: "You have to follow the next bills and tell me when Lin Cong brings the broad beans."

It takes a long time to make bean paste from broad beans. It takes at least a month to dry them. It's not winter yet, so you can get enough sun.

Two days later.

The construction team arrived at Linjia Village before dawn. Since they had already surveyed the terrain, the two teams carried tools and began to mark out the locations along the drawings with lime powder and began to dig the foundation. Lin Xi recruited more than fifty people in the village.

Personally, everything was left to the arrangements of Lao Fangtou and Lao Chu.

Everyone in the family is busy with their own affairs, and Jiang Yan is not idle either. After the house is built, she still needs to arrange the furniture. She plans to order some more modern furniture, including tables for the hall of the main house and beds for the bedrooms.

, even the quilts and kitchen utensils have to be customized.

The village chief has given full authority to the Lin family to handle the private school affairs. She also has to customize a batch of desks. In order to facilitate the children to store their belongings, she plans to customize a row of wooden storage cabinets at the back of the classroom as in modern times.

locker.

In addition to these, there are brooms and shovels, and there are a lot of bits and pieces. Whatever Jiang Yan thinks of, she decides on it first. If she can't think of anything else at the moment, she will arrange it later when needed.

After the construction of the house started, the entire Linjia Village became lively. Almost half of the young people in the village helped with the work on the construction site. Because there were so many people eating, there were also more women cooking. No one was selected.

Not complacent.

For them, being recruited to work by the Lin family is much more comfortable than going to the town.

Time flies, and two months have passed.

At the end of October, the weather starts to get cooler, so you need to wear two more layers of clothes.

In the past two months, the Lin family's house has begun to take shape, the village's private school is about to be built, and the village's roads are also being completed.

In addition to the braised pork base, Jiang Yan also purchased two recipes from the mall, the three fresh large bone soup base and the mushroom soup base, both of which are not spicy. Once the peppers are harvested, they can make spicy bases.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the village chief pushed open the fence door of Lin's house. All the students in the yard turned towards the door.

"Hello, village chief!"

The children all said hello to the village chief at the door. They seemed to be used to the village chief's arrival. After saying hello, each of them lowered their little heads and continued to write and draw on the ground.

After Jiang Yan allowed the children in the village to study in the yard, the number of children who came to study and read changed from a dozen to dozens. The Lin family's yard was not big and there was no room for a table, so the children were either brought by themselves.

There was a small bench, or they were just sitting on the ground, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and writing on the ground very seriously.

The village chief smiled happily, raised his voice, and shouted into the house: "Is Xiao Jiang in the house? I have something to discuss with her."

Qiao Le, who was under the eaves, nodded: "She's in the back room. Village chief, please wait, I'll call her out."

Before he could go in, Jiang Yan had already walked out of the house. The number of children studying in the past two months had increased day by day. At its peak, there were more than a hundred and more. The Lin family's small yard couldn't even squeeze them in. They still had to go there.

Go to the open space outside the house.

Jiang Yan looked at a group of children holding wooden sticks and said softly: "The children have been studying for a few months, Mr. Qiao, how about you conduct a test and then give certain rewards to the children according to their performance rankings.

I will pay for this reward here.”

Hearing this, Qiao Le's eyes flashed brightly: "I have had this idea in the past few days, but I'm just afraid that you will spend money. With my own little money, I can't take care of every child."

On weekdays, it would be okay for him to ask Jiang Yan to buy the Four Treasures of the Study for several children of the Lin family, but he would be embarrassed to ask for it for the children in the village. After all, there are so many children in the village, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Jiang's family.
