Yan Laoer frowned and said: "The wolf has a grudge. It's time to look for those who have escaped. It's best to kill them all. If you want to go... it's not impossible. There are many people. It's best to bring your uncle from the Qi family."
Since his daughter gained strength and courage, and killed Beirong, he could no longer ignore the changes in her body.
As parents, he and his wife are gradually accepting and adapting.
"Uncle Qi and the others..." Yan Yu thought of something and said solemnly: "Dad, Aunt Rong told Mom that day that our family didn't have enough charcoal and firewood."
Yan Laoer was surprised: "What did she say?"
Yan Yu: "Mom said, Mother Rong did not count the charcoal that Uncle Qi and the others had stored in the woods, but only the charcoal piled in the small shed in our yard. Moreover, she made the estimate based on the current population of the family.
, only my mother, eldest sister and Qing'er were at home at that time. There were two rooms plus the kitchen. The charcoal was inherently resistant to burning. Logically speaking, even if it was not enough, it wouldn't be much worse. But Grandma Rong said, these were far from enough.
"
"There are quite a few people who helped build the small shed," Yan Laoer said.
Yan Yu nodded.
Her family couldn't stand the cold, so they lit a fire pit early. Uncle Qi and Fifth Uncle were sincere and pulled several carts back and forth for her family.
"If that's not enough, how cold will it be this winter?" Yan Laoer asked what Yan Yu had been thinking about.
"Dad, have you bought the woodland in the south?" Yan Yu suddenly asked.
"I bought it. Here is the land deed. You can take it back and ask your mother to keep it." Yan Laoer took out two land deeds, pointed to the lower one and said, "This one belongs to the Qi family. Give it to your Grandma Qi.
And these are the remaining silver."
Yan Yu looked at it briefly and recognized the name of Uncle Liang. He put it in his arms and put it away close to his body.
The silver was also counted and the number was recorded.
It cost less than she expected, and Yan Yu looked happy.
Yan Laoer: "With the big stone bridge as the boundary, all the way to the village is the land of our two families. I asked Manshan to help us separate it in the middle. I wrote it randomly. Anyway, it will be the same no matter which one."
"Have you adapted well to studying in the county in Fengnian?" Yan Yu asked.
Liang Manshan brought Liang Fengnian to the government office a few days ago, and also went to the county school to study, becoming classmates with Yan Laoer and Yan Xiangheng.
As soon as he mentioned this, Yan Laoer sighed: "Well, what kind of children are these? Your eldest brother and Fengnian. According to your master, they are both good at studying. Your eldest brother is more talented and can learn everything well."
Quick, he understands well, Feng Nian, hiss, despite his young age, he is really hardworking, he is the kind of person who can make up for his weakness with hard work."
Yan Yu noticed that her father was burning firewood, so she asked, "Dad, are all the charcoals that I brought with me gone?"
"I'll give you some, Uncle Liang. The house in the government office is really not warm, and it's especially cold at night. Your master's house and my house don't have a kang at night. The stove has to be turned on all night. When you get up in the morning, it's very cold. Your master's office
There is also a stove in the place, and I have been going there early these days to light it..."
Yan Laoer was thoughtful: "Don't tell me, there is something wrong today. It's only September, why is it so cold?"
Yan Yu looked at her father, and her father looked at her.
Both of them felt their hearts pounding.
"Daughter, what are you thinking about?" Yan Laoer spoke first.
Yan Yu: “It’s the same as you thought.”
"Don't say it out loud, good things don't work and bad things work." Yan Laoer said warily.
Yan Yu was speechless: "How can it be so powerful if I say it or not?"
"Anyway, don't say it. Let's look again and again. Maybe it's not the case." Yan Laoer was lucky.
"No matter what, you can never go wrong by storing more charcoal." Yan Yu actually felt a little conscious when her mother said that Grandma Rong thought there was not enough charcoal in the house.
The world she lives in is at a dangerous level, and Grandma Rong is a family service robot. Her settings are all to better serve the family. What should she do when the weather is cold? Make cotton-padded clothes, store charcoal for the winter, food...
…
Yes, these are what Grandma Rong has been doing. Their cotton-padded clothes, Grandma Rong has made them long ago. In addition to the cotton-padded clothes, there are also cotton shoes, cotton hats, cotton gloves...
There was a lot to eat, and the vegetables piled in the cellar were enough for them to eat all winter long.
When I think about it this way, it’s all right.
…
Master Tian came back for lunch and met Yan Yu.
Yan Yu saluted in a formal manner. Although Yan Laoer had not formally worshiped as a master, the master-disciple relationship had already been established, and the only difference was a ceremony.
Master Tian smiled and gave me a painting as a greeting gift, which was made by himself.
The painting depicts the autumn scenery of Xiao'an Village, with towering mountains, covered farmland, a few wisps of smoke from village houses, and the river as the finishing touch. The few strokes are extremely tender and beautiful, and are suitable for the movement and stillness of the mountains and rivers. The ink marks of different shades,
Highlight the lushness and abundance of autumn.
Yan Yu liked it very much and decided to frame it and hang it in her parents' house.
Mr. Tian asked about her trip to Guiyuan, and Yan Yu answered them one by one.
"I first went to Gufeng to deliver the medicine, and after I got the money, I went to Guiyuan...
The rafts in our village were all gone, and there were quite a few people there, taking care of each other, and the journey went smoothly.
The price of grain in the grain shop in Guiyuan Town has gone up a bit compared to when we went there before. Fortunately, we collect grain directly from Murakami. The price we negotiated last time and the owner of the bamboo shop is very honest and has not gone up.
The money we brought was still rich, so we asked around the nearby villages and bought some more."
What Yan Yu didn't say was that there was little profit from shipping the medicine from Guiyuan Town Pharmacy, but she bought it anyway and sent it to Gu Feng on her return trip.
The uncle didn't let them get closer and just dumped it on the river bank. Even the silver coins used to pay for the medicinal materials were made to watch them wash before they were allowed to take it away.
She was worried and asked a few more questions.
Only then did I realize that it was not that the situation was getting worse, but that more people were getting sick in Gufeng, and more stringent control regulations had to be adopted.
They deliver medicine in the same way, and the villages in Gufeng deliver grain taxes to the city in the same way. They all do it at designated places far away from the big city.
Set the grain tax, notify all townships, transport the grain yourself, weigh it on the scale, issue tax payment vouchers, etc.
After all these twists and turns, although Gu Feng did not win the first place, seeing that the epidemic had not yet receded, Fucheng did not have to do much, and put all the goods into the treasury without any additional levies.
Hearing that all the food in each city had been put into storage, Mr. Tian frowned and remained silent for a long time.
"teacher?"
"God bless me, let me go to Fucheng with my teacher." Mr. Tian said.
Yan Er: "Teacher, we don't have to pay the grain tax this year, right?"
Mr. Tian shook his head and glanced at the child who also looked puzzled.
"Xiao Er also goes to Fucheng with Master?"
Of course that’s good!
She had originally planned to go to Fucheng to look at shops tomorrow, and since we were on the same road, we could go together and it wouldn't be a bad day.
Besides, even if she was optimistic about it and had the money, she still wouldn't be able to buy it. Her father would have to negotiate and it would be settled in their parents' names.
