Chapter 240 The House is Completed
He is the small group of people who have gained the most from late rice this time. They all listened to Aunt Jiang and planted late rice in all their paddy fields. In order to have a better harvest, some of them even rented out paddy fields that others did not plant.
Come plant.
So for them, if they just cut firewood to thank Jiang Yan, they would be tempted to cut down the entire mountain to feel that it was enough.
The young man brought over half a bag of pounded rice, the husks were cleanly removed, and most of the bag was white rice.
He smiled shyly, "I know Aunt Jiang's family is not short of white rice, but I just saw that your Jinhua went to the threshing floor to borrow a stone roller. This is the new rice that my family just harvested, so I carried it all for you!"
You can have it at your house tonight!”
The young man scratched his head as he spoke. The smile on his face was awkward, but his simple appearance made Jiang Yan's heart warm. Although she didn't know this young man, she was attracted by his pure energy.
Jiang Yan looked at the half bag of new rice, which weighed at least thirty kilograms, but shook her head and refused, because if she accepted one, the others would not be accepted.
The young and energetic young man, who didn't care whether Jiang Yan refused or not, put the rice bag on the big table in the yard with a firm attitude, "I'll put it here. Anyway, I won't carry it back, Auntie.
Take it, I will go to the mountain to cut firewood for your family now!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Yan to react, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, pushing away the gathered villagers. As soon as she got out of the door, she ran away quickly. The young man was fast-footed. When Jiang Yan chased her to the door, the young man was gone.
silhouette.
"Hey! Whose child is this? Why is he so stubborn!"
As soon as she finished sighing, other villagers piled their own things on the table. If there was no more on the table, they put it on the ground. After a while, it was piled up.
And as soon as they put away their things, the villagers said goodbye and left. Jiang Yan didn't even come to see who was who.
After a while, everyone in the yard left, and the village chief also said with a smile: "Oh! Don't refuse, this is everyone's wish. The young man just now is the child of the Li family at the head of the village.
His name is Li Daming, and he followed his mother to escape the famine and settled here with us last year. Thanks to you, he has a good harvest of rice this season."
When Jiang Yan heard this, the appearance of the young man just now appeared in her mind. She had never seen Li Daming before, but she had heard the gossip between his two daughters-in-law.
There are only two people in Li Daming's family, he and his mother. Because they came from Linjia Village to escape famine, there is no land in the village. The rough house they live in is distributed by the village. Several pieces of land in the family are rented from the village. Every year
After paying the taxes, the remaining grain must be divided into tenants and rented out.
Because he believed in Jiang Yan, there was no quota for him to grow peppers, so he fought hard to get it. When he was planting late rice, many people in the village didn't believe it and only planted a few acres of land. However, he did the opposite and took advantage of the few acres of land in the village.
I rented a field from another family and plowed the fields by myself in the dark and daylight, and planted nearly ten acres of land.
He originally hoped that if the harvest was average and he planted more, he would get more food. But now it is good, and the harvest will be doubled. After this season's late rice, he can buy a few acres of land in the village and even build a new house.
, from a poor household in the village to a well-off family all of a sudden.
"That's the result of the child's own efforts. However, the child is quite clever. It can be said that the emperor has paid off,"
A flash of appreciation flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. Although the late rice harvest was due to her, it was more of everyone's own contribution. Receiving so much gratitude made her feel the simple and tenacious character of the people again, and it also made her feel
She understands the poverty and helplessness of the people.
In the next few days, the entire Linjia Village was extremely lively, and the threshing floor was even more crowded every day. Everyone was busy threshing the grains and shelling the millet. The prosperity made the entire mountain seem to have a little more vitality and gloom.
And the misty sky no longer seems oppressive and silent.
Because Linjia Village is exempt from taxes, there is no need to turn in the late rice this time. Most people in the village shell the rice in small quantities to try the new rice, and most of them carry it to the town to exchange for money or store it in the cellar at home.
The harvest has gradually come to an end, and the cold winter has quietly arrived. On the new winding road in Linjia Village, there are more vehicles than usual. The villagers are all smiling, carrying baskets and dustpans on their backs to buy things home.
Jiang Yan also convened a family meeting and was holding the second family meeting at home. However, compared to the last time, this meeting included more Qiao Le, Jiang Wen and the newly purchased servants.
"This family meeting is mainly to talk about the current situation at home." In the yard, the cold wind was blowing, making everyone huff their noses. Jiang Yan stood at the gate and continued to speak loudly: "Our family is quite big this year.
The changes are all inseparable from everyone's efforts. Now that winter has entered, the weather is getting colder and colder. After completing the next arrangements, the family will be ready to celebrate the New Year in winter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dong said: "Mom, the next thing to do is to move into the new house and have a drink? Here at the house, I heard from the third child that finishing touches are already being made, and we can move in soon.
Already."
Lin Xi, who was named, also hurriedly responded: "The work will be completed in about ten days. Many parts of the house have been built. In fact, we can move in now."
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, it was foggy when the construction team came in the morning, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge, so he recruited a group of more people to try to work more during the day when it was warmer.
The more people there are, the more power there is, and the project time is also accelerated even more.
Giving Lin Xi an appreciative look, Jiang Yan said, "I had settled matters with my husband before. Our family not only has to hold a banquet, but also has a big happy event!"
"What's the big happy event?"
Everyone looked puzzled, even the chubby little boy in the suit raised his head, blinking his big, round, dark eyes in anticipation.
Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes fell on Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng, and she said gently: "After delaying for so long, it's time to arrange the marriage between Xiaomeng and the second child."
Jiang Yan walked over in a few steps and gently took Liu Xiaomeng's hand. Under her shocked eyes, she continued: "During this period, you have suffered a lot of grievances because of the wedding banquet. It's my mother who can't forgive you."
, I have been putting it off before, just thinking that when the new house is built, so that you can marry me in glory, I want everyone, especially those who have failed you, to know that I, the Lin family, value you as a daughter-in-law!
Little dream..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Xiaomeng suddenly knelt on the ground. She heard a string called reason break in her mind. Her pupils, dilated due to shock, suddenly filled with tears, and all the emotion and joy turned into a sound.
Sobbing loudly.
