Chapter 239 The Villagers’ Gratitude

Farmers don't have the habit of locking the door during the day. Jiang Yan would habitually close the door when she first went out, but over time she got used to not closing the door.

People in the village are very honest. If you are not at home, they will not enter your room. They usually call for people in the yard, and they will not take things from your house at will. Even if someone you don't know comes into your house, they will

I will take care of it for you.

This is why every time someone comes to the house, someone will come to notify Jiang Yan. In addition to curiosity, it is also because the neighbors take care of each other.

As soon as Jiang Yan arrived, everyone tacitly moved out of the way. When she entered the yard, the village chief and Li Zheng led everyone in.

Jiang Yan asked the leaders to sit down and asked: "Village Chief, Li Zheng, what's going on? Why are you all here?"

Now is the busiest time for the late rice harvest. Even those who have planted little rice have to be busy threshing the husks at home after harvesting the rice. Why do they come to her in groups...

"It's getting colder and colder today. When I wake up in the morning, I can still see ice slag in the fields. It is estimated that it will snow in a few days. Everyone should take advantage of the sun to dry the millet as soon as possible to prepare for the cat winter.

.”

Jiang Yan spoke with a sincere warning. The weather was getting colder and colder. She asked her two daughters-in-law to prepare more sets of winter clothes for the family early. She also considered giving some New Year gifts to the villagers working in the factory so that

They spend this new year happily.

The village chief and Satoshi looked at each other and smiled. The two of them were in good spirits. Because of the bumper harvest, they were smiling from ear to ear every day. They were refreshed and in good spirits from beginning to end.

He seemed to be several years younger.

The village chief said with a smile: "The great harvest in the village is all because of you. If it weren't for it, everyone might be cutting bark and eating leaves in the mountains."

Li Zheng also said happily: "That's right, if it weren't for you, we don't know if our village can survive this winter. Originally...at that time, the village chief and I discussed that if the autumn harvest did not yield much food, our village would

Just flee to the south..." As he spoke, the village chief's voice became choked with sobs.

The village chief patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "So, it's all because of you that our whole village can now live such a good life that we can't even imagine."

"Yes, yes! As soon as the late rice came, my family pounded two kilograms of white rice and cooked it in a pot. Our family hasn't eaten large white rice in several years. I can't forget the taste now, no.

I ate three big bowls of food and rice!" A young junior at the back of the team couldn't help shouting, with a look of recollection on his face, as if he was immersed in the scene at that time.

Li Zheng smiled and said: "What you are saying is that I also cooked two kilograms of rice at home. The taste of this rice is the best I have ever tasted. Xiaojiang, where did you buy these seedlings? Why have you never grown such rice in the village before?

Good rice.”

Jiang Yan's face froze, she immediately adjusted her expression, and said in a gentle tone: "I just went to the county and bought it from a foot merchant. I didn't know the quality was so good. In this case, let's save some seeds for the time.

Don’t carry it all to town and sell it, keep some for planting next year.”

The village chief nodded and agreed with Jiang Yan's statement. Since the quality and taste of this rice are better, the village will grow this rice in the future.

Li Zheng continued: "We came to you this time because the villagers wanted to thank you. The villagers wanted to send some new rice, but your family is now in better condition and is not short of these things. There has been a steady supply of rice in the past few days.

People in the village brought things, but I heard from Mr. Qiao that you sent them all to a private school."

"The village sincerely thanks you. We don't know what to give you. Those eggs and vegetables and noodles you sent to the private school ended up in the mouths of our children. I thought that in this case, let everyone give you some."

Something you can use."

The villagers had no money, so the usual gifts for visiting and visiting were rice, flour, grain and oil, and they couldn't give out anything valuable.

"I heard that you asked Lin Cong to collect firewood and fodder, and the villagers spontaneously went to cut firewood and cut grass for you, so you don't have to pay. This is everyone's wish."

The village chief had actually arranged this matter two days ago, and everyone in the village agreed. However, Lin Cong's second-rate boss disagreed. He said that after asking Lin Xi, Lin Xi refused to take advantage of everyone, so the villagers only wanted to send

If you use firewood, you will be given money back.

"That's right, in addition to this firewood, I also brought eggs from home. The hens at home have good stomachs and have eaten well during this period. I saved one egg a day and didn't carry it to the town to buy.

Get them all for you, dongzi, don’t send them to the private school, keep them for yourself!”

An older woman squeezed out from the crowd. It was the widow who had knelt down in front of Jiang Yan at the entrance of the village. She had been bedridden for many years. After she got better, she started raising chickens and ducks, so she had a lot of money at home.

Lots of eggs.

"Thank you, but there is no need to send anything to my family. You can keep it for yourself to eat or carry it to the town to exchange for money. I know how everyone feels, and I understand it."

Jiang Yan smiled kindly and looked at the basket of eggs. There were seventeen or eight at least. All of them were washed clean and well stored. Her family was reluctant to part with them, but they all were given to her.

Jiang Yan did not take it. Eggs are also the income of farmers. These dozen eggs can be exchanged for a lot of copper coins. Besides, there is really no shortage of eggs in her family. Since the chickens at home have grown up, she can collect a lot of them every day.

If the family couldn't finish all the fresh eggs, they would be sent to the new house for the construction team to eat.

"I don't have eggs at home, but I do have soybeans and broad beans. If Aunt Jiang doesn't mind, I'll carry them to you right away."

"The same goes for my family. I still have a lot of mountain persimmons at home. I picked a lot of them on the mountain a few days ago, and I brought them here too!"

"Me too, me too..."

The people in the village were all talking, and it became noisy for a while. Some of them were excited, and even opened the cloth bag they were carrying to show Jiang Yan to see it. What's more, they directly held the things they brought and presented them to Jiang Yan.

When everyone called Aunt Jiang, Jiang Yan didn't know who to look at, so she could only refuse: "Don't pass it over, I really don't accept it. I know your thoughts. It's not easy for all of you. Keep these things to yourself."

Eat, according to what the village said, I will accept you cutting firewood and sending fodder, but this food is absolutely unacceptable!"

Jiang Yan could still accept asking the villagers to help cut firewood, but she felt a little sorry for harvesting their food in vain.

"Okay! I'll go to the mountain to cut firewood right away, and I'll carry it back to your family in the evening!"

"Me too!"

"But you should accept what we brought! Just a few bundles of firewood, which are far less than the favor we have received." A young man couldn't help shouting.
Chapter completed!
