The excitement always passes quickly. Country people's time is precious. At noon, the villagers dispersed one after another. Yunjing's achievements and return actually did not change their lives at all. It is remarkable because there is this relationship between them.
, something may be more convenient in the future, after all, 'Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face'.
Nowadays, life in Xiaoxi Village is much better than before. However, except for Yunjing’s family, other villagers’ families are still far from being wealthy. Is it better to consider the practical gifts that Yunjing brought back and distribute to everyone?
The faces of the villagers were full of happy smiles.
Yunjing is a good boy. He has not forgotten his roots. This is the truest thought in the hearts of the villagers.
Nowadays, the distribution of 'rights' in Yunjing's family is very 'complex'. Yunshan is nominally the head of the family, but the one who really makes the decision is his grandfather Yunlin. After all, he also has the identity of the village chief of Xiaoxi Village.
But the problem is that Yunjing is the backbone of the family. Well, there is no contradiction at all...
When the family was together, the three generations of Yunlin, Yunshan and Yunjing gathered together to discuss important family matters.
Grandpa Yun Lin said to Yun Jing anxiously and with trepidation: "Xiao Jing, before you came back, the news of your imperial examination results came back first. People from the county and town officials came, and they also came back.
Many big names I don’t know also came and sent a lot of things. I can’t shirk them. There are too many. I don’t know what to do. What do you think I should do?”
After all, he is an ordinary person who has lived in the countryside all his life. Even though he has been the village chief for several years, Yunlin does not know what to do. Faced with such a big right and wrong, his claws suddenly become numb.
Yun Jing had already expected such a thing and asked out of curiosity: "Grandpa, what exactly are there? How much are they?"
"There are too many, and I still haven't sorted them out until today. In short, the county and the county have prepared a house for you, and the title deeds have been sent to you. Then money and money have been given to you by various big families. Your aunt said that you should add
It's worth no less than one hundred thousand taels. God, how much is this? I can't even think about it in my whole life. Why do you want to send it to our house? I don't dare to dream about it when I sleep. There are too many things and they are too valuable.
I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiaojing. Grandpa is afraid, so he doesn't even dare to keep it at home. Instead, he keeps it at your aunt's place. What should I do? I don't dare to deal with it, so you can handle it yourself?" Yunlin said intermittently, saying this
As he spoke, the whole person seemed a little confused.
Also, for him who has been a nobody all his life, it’s good that he didn’t get scared when he suddenly faced this kind of thing.
Not to mention Yun Lin, the usually carefree Yun Shan didn't dare to speak at the moment, which was really a bit scary.
Hearing this, Yun Jingxin said that what the villagers said were not rumors...
After thinking about it, Yunjing said: "Grandpa, don't worry about this matter. I'll handle it. Leave the things at Auntie's place, right? I'll take some time to contact her so that she won't have to look after her all day long."
Do other things”
Yun Jing understands that his family leaves things at his aunt Jiang Xiaoxi's place. After all, Jiang Xiaoxi is a martial arts practitioner, and her skills are not weak and she can see things. If they were left at home, the family would definitely not be able to live peacefully, and they would have to worry even when they sleep.
No wonder I haven't seen my aunt before.
Yun Lin nodded, this 'hot potato' was thrown away, and he suddenly became relaxed. His whole life, the small farmer's mentality has been to follow the principle of small wealth. Who can accept such a sudden change? I would rather pretend that this kind of thing has never happened.
.
To contact Yunjing with Jiang Xiaoxi, you need to go in person. It is not appropriate for Song Yan to go. After all, she is the aunt, and it would be a bit unreasonable to let anyone else go.
Yunshan then asked curiously: "Xiao Jing, how do you deal with so many things?"
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "What else can we do? We can sell the house or whatever. We can't live in that much. We can save the money in the bank. After all, it's not a problem to let it rust and depreciate in value. We have to specialize it."
Some people are looking at it, and it’s not necessary, and then for other things, if you want to keep them, you can keep them, and if you don’t want to keep them, you can liquidate them.”
"Is it appropriate to do this?" Yunlin asked a little confused.
Yunjing looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, there is nothing inappropriate. What the government gave you is coming, just take it. Don't feel any psychological burden. After all, I brought glory to the local area, and then other wealthy households gave it to me."
Do you think there is a list of gifts? Your grandson can pay back such a favor, so you don’t have to worry about it, just leave everything to me."
"That's good," Yunlin Laohuai said consolingly. With a grandson like him, he would be much less worried and trouble-free.
Yunshan suddenly became more relaxed. He patted Yunjing's shoulder and said with a look like "I know you can do it": "Okay, you didn't let me down. Well, you insisted on it."
Yunshan still feels a bit empty in his heart. After all, he used to be the one who made the decision in the family. Now he feels a strong sense of powerlessness. However, this emotion is only fleeting. His son is now capable, and other things are more important.
?
At this moment, Yunjing pondered for a moment and said: "Grandpa, Dad, this is what I think. Our family is not short of money now, so there is no use leaving so much money, and a lot of money comes in vain. Look at this
OK, I decided to donate part of it to the relief society, which can benefit some people in need. Then, I also want to fund the construction of a school in the village so that the children in the village can study in the future. What do you think?
"
After hearing this, Yun Lin thought for a while and said: "Xiao Jing, you have grown up now and have great abilities. Just do whatever you want. You don't need to ask our opinions. We don't have much education, but I know that what you do must be good."
It's right"
This is family. Simple trust is the greatest support, which is better than thousands of words and random opinions.
Yunshan was troubled and said: "I don't understand these things. I can't give you any advice, Xiaojing. You can think clearly on your own. But is it troublesome to build a school? Don't make trouble for yourself."
"Dad, don't worry. The problem is not big. There are only so many households in the village. How many children can we have? The school we build does not need to be big. It is more than enough to hire two teachers. And I also say it to the government now.
If you can, all the procedures can be completed, and the students in our village school can take the imperial examination normally," Yun Jing said calmly.
Yun Lin actually had something to say. He mused: "Xiao Jing, there is a way to win over rice and to win over rice. Your idea is good, but you can't bear it all, otherwise you will only breed white-eyed wolves.
Let's see, my family will pay for the construction of the school, but when the construction starts, I will organize the villagers to contribute, and then when the children in the village go to school in the future, they will also have to pay tuition. We cannot let them just take advantage of it. As for the tuition fee, it depends on the situation and cannot be paid.
The villagers have to live with the increased burden on their families. After all, we haven’t had a good life for a few days yet. Tuition fees and the like are regarded as my husband’s salary. If it is not enough, our family will make up for it.”
"Okay, just do what you said, grandpa. As expected of you, you are a grandpa. He sees things more clearly than your grandson." Yun Dingding nodded. Of course he understood these details. Why not take the opportunity to flatter grandpa and make him happy?
Why.
Yunshan was happy on the side, and kept murmuring: "Good days, these are good days. The village can have enough food and clothing, and roads are connected. In the future, there will be schools in the village. These days
,OK……"
"The days will get better and better," Yunjing said with a smile. Thinking of the poverty that Xiaoxi Village once had, Yunjing felt bad. Fortunately, it has all passed.
If anyone wants to destroy everything here, Yunjing will definitely put him in a dilemma of life and death!
After getting along for a while, Jiang Susu and Bai Zhi have become extremely close, and even Yun Jing feels a little redundant...
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had whispered so much before, came out with smiles on their faces. When Jiang Susu saw their grandfather and grandson whispering, she immediately shouted: "What are you talking about?"
"Mom, it's okay, let's discuss some small things," Yunjing turned around and said with a smile.
On the contrary, Jiang Susu put her hands on her hips and said: "Since everything is fine, what are you still doing, Xiaojing? Since you are all back, don't leave me idle. You can also help me with the work in the fields, so that I don't have to be idle all day."
If something goes wrong, go quickly, Xiaozhi and I will help you make food at home."
Hearing this, the corner of Yunjing's mouth twitched, he wanted to speak but stopped, he stopped but he wanted to, and forgot what to say...
No, mother, when I first entered the house, I had tears in my eyes. Why are you driving me to work now? You still have a look of disgust on your face. You are worthy of being your own mother.
I'm a dignified master, but you actually ask me to go to the fields to work? Hum, go ahead!
"Okay," Yunjing said with a cheerful smile, and quickly went back to the house to change clothes. He quickly put on a set of coarse cloth clothes and dressed up like a farmer. Not to mention, Yunjing always felt that wearing coarse cloth clothes was more comfortable than the elegant attire of a civil servant.
Yunshan laughed and said, "Yeah, it's getting late, and there's still a lot of work in the fields."
As he said that, he went to resist the hoe.
Yun Lin looked at Yun Shan and said in astonishment: "Little Shan, didn't we agree to start harvesting grain today? Why are you resisting the hoe? Are you looking for a sickle?"
After a pause, Yunshan laughed and said, "I'm too busy and confused. I'm going to find the sickle."
"Are you very busy?" Yun Lin looked puzzled.
Little did he know that Yunshan was a little embarrassed at the moment, with his daughter-in-law in front of him, and he hadn't had time to adapt to such family changes.
Yun Jingxin said it was a coincidence. As soon as he came back, he caught up with his family to collect grain. He immediately found a sickle and went to the fields with his grandfather and father.
As for Bai Zhi, although she is new here, she already seems to be getting along well with her mother. It would be nice to give her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law room to get along, so they don't have to worry too much.
When leaving the house, Yunjing asked Song Yan to move the things he brought back home, then return to town and come back in two days. Song Yan naturally followed his words.
The grandfather and grandson came to a land where rice was planted. Yunlin and Yunshan were almost ready for the preliminary work. There were already families harvesting grain in the surrounding fields, and those nearby even gave orders to say hello.
Yunjing looked at the crops in the field and said with a smile: "The growth rate this year is good, I hope there will be a good harvest."
"You guys don't even look at who planted it. Over the years, we have become more and more experienced in using farmyard manure. Moreover, we don't have to pay taxes. When we take it back, it is our own. We can't even finish the food now. Now
"The family is still eating last year's old food," Yunshan said proudly. In recent years, it has been rare to have such an opportunity to show off in front of his son. His son is really too good, and he can only show off in his professional field.
Yunjing immediately flattered him and said: "Dad, you are so awesome. You are the backbone of the family. Now that our family can live like this, you take the main credit. If you hadn't worked so hard to support this family, there would be no end to it."
"No, who calls me your father? It's all my responsibility and obligation." Yunshan said a little embarrassed, but after receiving such praise from the son of the 'Master Juren', he felt happy on his face and in his heart.
of.
Yun Lin had already taken off his shoes and rolled up his trousers: "Stop chatting, it's time to get to work."
As he said that, he picked up the knife and started to cut the rice. It was a clean and neat movement. Over the decades, the action of cutting the rice countless times has become instinctive, just like the peerless swordsman wielding the knife to kill people.
Standing at the edge of the field, Yunjing looked at his grandfather's busy movements, thought for a while and said: "Grandpa, why don't you rest by the edge, and leave these tasks to me. It will be quick, and it won't be my grandson's fault."
, I can order a hundred jobs by myself for such a job!"
"What are you talking about, Xiao Jing? You've been studying all these years, and I'm afraid you've forgotten all the farm work." Yun Lin said without raising his head, not believing it at all.
Yunshan was more direct. He curled his lips and said with disdain: "Let me tell you what you can do. Xiaojing, I don't know what your other abilities are. This bragging ability is unmatched by anyone!"
Who are you looking down on?
Yun Jing's anger grew out of his courage, and he shouted: "Grandpa, dad, don't believe it, keep an eye on it."
As he spoke, Yun Jing waved his hand, and the sickle flew out, instantly cutting across an area in the field. Then he saw that the rice in the field was cut off at just the right place. Not to mention, the cut rice was still there.
How many moderate bundles are laid out!
Good guy, with this simple gesture of his hand, the rice in the field fell down.
Yunlin Yunshan: "..."
I was stunned, is this okay?
"Xiaojing, what are you doing?" Yunshan looked at him and said blankly.
Yunjing blinked. Yunjing held the sickle that flew around and then came back and said, "Isn't this for show? I'll help harvest the rice."
"Can we still do this kind of work?" Yun Lin also stopped and looked at Yun Jing and asked in confusion.
Nodding, Yun Jing said: "That's not right. You should apply what you have learned. Grandpa and Dad, you also know that in addition to studying knowledge, I have also practiced martial arts. I am not bragging. My cultivation is not bad. I can put my martial arts knowledge to use."
Come and do the work, it's too easy, I haven't put much effort into it yet, if I'm a little more serious, I can get all the crops in our fields and put them back in the warehouse in half a day today!"
Faced with what Yun Jing said, although Yun Lin and Yun Shan didn't believe it, the facts were before their eyes.
Yunlin and Yunshan looked at each other, then Yunshan glared at Yunjing and said seriously: "Xiaojing, stop here and work honestly!"
"Yes, Xiao Shan is right," Yun Lin also said.
Yunjing didn't understand, so he asked: "Why? Wouldn't it be better to work faster? It's such an easy thing."
"That's true, but Xiaojing, you finished the work in one go, what do you want us to do?" Yunshan said with a confused look on his face.
Yun Lin nodded and said, "Yes, that would make us look particularly useless."
Yunjing immediately pondered, and understood, this is probably the last stubbornness of his family. They have been busy managing these things all their lives. If he intervenes, they will have no place to use them, and they will feel empty and confused.
measures.
So Yunjing picked up the sickle and worked seriously, without making any more fancy tricks.
Seeing this, Yunlin Yunshan also had a smile on his face.
In fact, they were somewhat vaguely afraid in their hearts. As for what they were afraid of, they couldn't tell clearly. They were probably afraid of being at a loss after their ordinary life was disrupted by Yun Jing's actions.
The rice in a field was cut very quickly under the busy work of the grandfather and grandson. Among them, Yunjing contributed the most. Although he worked honestly, he did not want his grandfather and father to be overworked. He helped as much as he could.
Finally, the field was filled with bunched rice handfuls, and the next step was to thresh. Yunjing saw at a glance the rice bucket placed on the horizon, which was a large square "wooden basin", two meters square.
When threshing, you need to hold the rice with both hands and throw it into the wooden bucket to knock down the grains. This threshing method is relatively primitive, and it is also easy to cause waste, and the grains will fly everywhere.
Yunjing asked: "Grandpa, dad, where is our threshing machine?"
"What's the threshing machine?" Yunshan said with a confused look on his face. Even Yunjing looked at Yunjing curiously.
Yunjing was silent at that time. In the early spring, he gave some drawings about farm tools to his master. Co-authoring has not become popular yet?
In fact, if you think about it, in this era of underdeveloped communications, it will take time to popularize these things, especially the autumn harvest has just begun, and there is no time to implement them. If you want to completely popularize those practical tools, it will take only two or three years.
Time is impossible.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing said: "Threshing machine, that's a good thing. It threshes quickly, saves trouble, and avoids waste. Just wait for me and I'll get one soon."
Saying that, Yunjing got up and headed towards home.
Yunshan opened his mouth to say something, but Yunlin shook his head and said: "Let him go, you still don't believe in your son? It's not strange to do anything, we just wait, maybe it will be another blessing
Good things for the people”
"Dad, to tell you the truth, I'm a little panicked. If I hadn't watched Xiao Jing grow up, I would have suspected that my son had been replaced," Yunshan said with a melancholy look on his face.
Rolling his eyes, Yunlin said: "What have you been thinking about all day? After so many years of hard times, Xiaojing was specially sent by God for us to enjoy!"
"Um……"
After leaving the field, Yunjing didn't really go home. He found a deserted corner and got busy. In fact, it was just a thought.
Within the scope of his telekinesis, he quickly found suitable wood and iron materials from the air. In about ten minutes, he built a human-powered rice threshing machine. Of course, this thing is also suitable for threshing wheat.
The structure of this human-powered thresher is not complicated. It consists of a wooden bucket, a baffle, a drum covered with iron nails, pedals and two sets of gears. The combination is a threshing machine.
When using it, you only need to rotate the drum to give an initial force, and then step on the pedal to make the drum covered with iron nails continue to rotate. At that time, place the rice ears on the drum, and the iron nails can easily stir down the grains.
Falling into a wooden bucket is more than ten times faster than beating it manually, saving effort and avoiding waste.
Don’t underestimate this simple thresher. It’s important to know that in this era, farmers are dependent on the weather. If there is a disaster during the harvest season, a year of hard work will be in vain. Returning the grains to the warehouse one day early is related to the fate of the family!
Making such a threshing machine is very simple for Yunjing. Wood can be easily whittled into the shape he wants. Iron nails and the like can be melted into the shape he wants by lighting a fire out of thin air.
Sometimes it's not good to go too fast. After finishing the work, Yunjing stayed for half an hour before carrying the thresher to the field. Anyway, his family knew some of Yunjing's skills, so he couldn't carry the thresher back so quickly. Don’t be afraid of being out of the ordinary, just ask me, it’s very simple...
"When people see the efficiency of the threshing machine, they will definitely imitate it and buy it. Whatever it is that benefits the country and the people, just be happy." Yunjing said in his mind when he went back.
Not long after, the buzzing sound of a threshing machine could be heard in Yunjing's field. Faced with this new farm tool, Yunlin and Yunshan were very curious and enjoyed playing with it like a child getting a new toy.
Holding a handful of bare straw, Yunshan sighed: "This thing is good, really good. The threshing is clean and fast, and it saves effort. Our family's grain this year is expected to be harvested ten days in advance."
"How can the things my eldest grandson makes be good? He has great skills. How can he be like you? Three sticks can't beat a fart. Work quickly. What are you doing with a pestle?" Yun Lin urged from the side. .
The situation here quickly attracted the villagers who were busy in the fields, and they came to watch and inquire. Then Yunjing was responsible for explaining the popular science.
There are also carpenters in the village. I think it won’t be long before the villagers will buy a threshing machine like this at home...
The busy and peaceful day passed so quickly. When night fell, Yunjing, his grandfather and grandson finished their work and went home. Jiang Susu and Bai Zhi had already prepared a sumptuous meal, and the family was enjoying the meal happily.
It's late at night, everyone washes up and goes back to the house to sleep. We have to continue to be busy tomorrow.
Under the cover of night, Jiang Susu, who was lying on the bed, whispered to Yunshan. She said: "Master, I learned from Xiaozhi that they have been together for several months, but... will... in the future... how can this happen? Is good?"
After hearing this, Yunshan was shocked and even a little scared. He was completely sleepless and was not in the mood to sleep. He quickly got up and put on his clothes and said: "This is a big deal. Everything else can be slowed down. I have to go out." Let’s go and think of a solution!”
"It's so late for the boss," Jiang Susu said worriedly.
Yun Shan took advantage of the night and left in a hurry, saying: "I can't care about so much now..."
Early the next morning, Yunjing got up to wash up and prepare to continue working in the fields with his family. However, his father Yunshan sneakily pulled him to a corner.
In Yunjing's confusion, Yunshan handed him a pack of medicine. He hesitated to speak with an embarrassed look on his face. Finally, he patted Yunjing's shoulder and said in a complicated tone: "Son, hey, it will get better. You want to Be obedient and take the medicine. You are still young and it will be fine. Our family will slowly figure it out. It’s not a big deal."
Looking at the packet of medicine in his hand, and then at his father's complicated expression, Yunjing was completely confused. He scratched his head and subconsciously asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"
At this moment, Yunjing doesn't even understand what's going on. What's going on when he just gives me a pack of medicine?
