After dinner, the yard was tidied up again, and everyone dispersed, each going back to his or her home.

The Jiang family and his son had no food at home, so He asked them to eat at home during this period, and then go to the town to buy food on the market day five days later before starting the fire at home.

Uncle Jiang happily agreed, and in the next few days, every time it was time for dinner, Uncle Jiang would bring Jiang Chuye over for dinner on time.

Sometimes he would bring some prey caught in the mountains or fish caught in the river and let He cook them and eat them together.

Mei Niang's impression of Jiang Chuye has become better. At least he is a hunter who has skills and can have meat to eat with him.

In the meantime, Uncle Jiang asked Yun Laosan to ask anyone in the village who had land for sale, and bought five acres of land at a price of ten taels of silver per mu. The two men were now ready to take root in Baohe Village.

Yun Laosan and his family helped Jiang Chuye plant corn on the ground. Naturally, the seeds were borrowed from Yun Laosan's family. Uncle Jiang was not in good health and could not help.

Even though Jiang Chuye had a lot of strength, he was really a layman in farming. He was just learning from Yun Laosan, who did whatever Yun Laosan asked him to do, and sometimes he was in a hurry.

Finally, Yun Laosan asked Jiang Chuye to fetch water.

Anyway, farming is not a job that can be learned in a day or two. It just needs to be learned slowly. Besides, it would be a pity that he does not have the strength to carry water.

It took three days to plant all the land, and plowing the land would not be a problem for Uncle Cheng.

Uncle Jiang and Jiang Chuye both have horses. Although they are both fat and strong, they look like good horses at first glance. At this time, they can only be used for plowing.

The next day was the market day in the town. Early in the morning, Mrs. He called Meiniang up, and the family was tidying up outside. Uncle Jiang arrived.

The two men each led a horse and used Uncle Jiang's horse to hitch the ox cart of Yun Laosan's family. When the ox was taken away, the ox cart remained, which was a lot more convenient.

Yun Laosan, He and Meiniang rode in the car, Uncle Jiang drove the car, and Jiang Chuye rode a horse, which saved Jiang Chuye and Meiniang the embarrassment of riding in the same car.

Compared with the depression in the twelfth lunar month of last year, the market was much more lively, and there were many more officers and soldiers to maintain order, ensuring the safety of the market.

But all I saw along the way were gray and plain people, whose faces were so dirty that they hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time.

Also, there is a severe drought now, and it is hard to find drinking water, let alone use it for washing up?

Mei Niang still remembered that the few places with water on the way here were guarded by officers and soldiers, and the money for fetching water was calculated by the bowl. As for how much each bowl cost, she really didn't pay attention.

In the days when they had nothing to eat or drink, each one of them was sallow and as thin as a bamboo pole, but their heads seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

This group of clean "countrymen" looked so out of place among the gray-faced townspeople. Especially since they had two horses. What a huge pile of meat they had slaughtered. People around them looked at them like

I'm watching the fat sheep.

Yun Laosan held the hands of his wife and daughter tightly, and the usually weak man rarely looked at those people with cross eyes. Not to mention that those people were only looking at a few people from a distance, and no one tried to come over.

Mei Niang privately thought that those people were not afraid of Yun Laosan, but were intimidated by the strong aura of the Jiang family father and son. Moreover, the officers and soldiers walking around in the town were not just decorations. The big swords in their hands were shining in the sunlight.

It was really blinding.
