Chapter 24 Unfilial, Collecting Wheat, Half Hanging Money
If it were in modern times, Jiang Zhi would have had a fight with her father long ago, but this is a feudal society where filial piety is the rule of the world.

Therefore, Jiang Zhi not only couldn't get angry with Jiang Ling'an, but also had to suppress his temper and persuade him nicely.

Otherwise, it would be disobedience and unfilial piety. Once such a reputation is tainted, Ye Heng's life will be over.

Jiang Zhi would definitely not allow herself to be wronged. In short, she should be courteous before fighting, and if she didn't listen, she would proceed to the next step.

"Ordinary children are enlightened, and the master usually guides them with stories. Isn't it the same for Dad in the private school? What's the difference between Brother Heng and them?" Jiang Zhi asked again.

Jiang Ling'an raised his head, and he also realized what was wrong with him.His expectations and deeds for Brother Heng are not to encourage the seedlings to grow, but to destroy a child who may become a talent, and let him ruin his foundation.

"What Ah Nan said is very reasonable. Daddy won't do it in the future." Jiang Ling'an reflected on his mistakes, then stepped up to Ye Heng, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, Grandpa will tell you a story next time, okay?" ?”

Ye Heng scrunched his face, still not wanting to look at Jiang Ling'an.

Jiang Zhi patted him on the shoulder: "The stories my grandfather told are very nice. My mother also heard many stories when she was a child."

My mother also listened to stories when she was a child, so Ye Heng let go and rolled her eyes when she saw Jiang Ling'an: "Okay then, Brother Heng, listen to your grandfather tell stories, next time!"

"Guaibao is really a good child of mother." Jiang Zhi praised.

Ye Heng smiled timidly.

It turns out that my baby is also a shy baby.

Jiang Zhi asked Ye Heng to say goodbye to Jiang Ling'an, and took Ye Xiaomei back to the village together.

This time Jiang Zhi was not busy making sugar, the wheat at home was almost ripe, and the Ye family harvested it together in previous years.

Now that Jiang Zhi is here, she doesn't want to do it herself at all.

I heard that the village will come to the village every year to move harvesters, and she wants to wait for these people to help harvest.

These days, Ye Xiaomei made up nets at home and told Ye Heng many allusions that she knew, but these Ye Xiaomei told Jiang Zhi behind her back.She couldn't explain why she knew these allusions. If everything was attributed to dreams, the credibility would be too low.

I hope my sister-in-law has no doubts about her.

Jiang Zhi opened her eyes and watched the wheat turn golden yellow. On the day she was about to harvest the wheat, the harvesters finally came from the village.

It's from the village next door, Jiang Zhi had inquired about it.

Five people, sixty copper coins per person on two acres of land, Jiang Zhi gave them a total of three hundred copper coins.

Besides, Jiang Zhi needed to take care of a meal.

no problem.

These are professional harvesting teams spontaneously formed by the people. Jiang Zhi saw that their skin was dark and dry, and their hands were either open wounds or deep calluses.They worked so hard that they bowed their waists in the field, and there was even a young man kneeling to cut the wheat, his technique was clean and neat, and he hardly dropped the ears of wheat.

Generally, there are not many households who hire someone to harvest wheat, after all, the labor cost is not low.

From the perspective of fellow villagers, Jiang Zhi's family did not have a major labor force, so it was a last resort to hire someone to harvest wheat.

The harvested wheat almost filled the Ye family's yard.Jiang Zhi was in trouble again, the ear of wheat was still on the stalk, how could she get the wheat off quickly?In my memory, in the past years, the family was hammered down with a mallet, and it was impossible to fix it every five, six, or seven days.

The efficiency is low, and you will be injured after you finish it.

There must be another way to threshing.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back." Ye Erlang pushed open the courtyard door with a small burden on his back.

"Why did Erlang come back? Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?" Ye Erlang held cloth shoes in his hand and wore a pair of straw sandals on the soles of his feet. Jiang Zhi suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked.

Ye Erlang closed the fence gate, turned around and said, "I ate dry food on the road and I wasn't hungry. I figured it was time to harvest wheat at home, so I asked the master for leave."

"Come in quickly." Jiang Zhi waved to him, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Ye Erlang scooped up a ladle of water by the water tank and gulped it down, then splashed the water on his face to wash away the sweat stains on his face.

"Second brother."

"Uncle."

Ye Xiaomei pulled Ye Heng out of the house, and was very happy to see Ye Erlang.

"Little sister, Brother Heng." Ye Erlang squatted on the ground, his face was wet, Ye Xiaomei hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe him.

Ye Erlang took the handkerchief and wiped it on his face carelessly: "Have you harvested all the wheat at home?"

"Sister-in-law asked someone to help collect it." Ye Xiaomei said.

"I should have come back earlier." Ye Erlang blamed himself a little, so that he didn't have to spend money, and saving a fortune was a fortune.

Ye Xiaomei smiled and said: "It's okay, the family is still relatively well-off now, and my sister-in-law is having trouble threshing the wheat. In previous years, we all knocked it down. My sister-in-law thinks this is too slow. In fact, I think so too. The whiskers on the ears of wheat Very annoying."

"It's okay, I'll just knock." Ye Erlang said.

"I'll knock too." Ye Heng shouted while holding a short bamboo stick.

"Okay, baby, knock too." Jiang Zhiduan came out with a bowl of poached eggs, and said, "Erlang, come and eat something."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not hungry." Ye Erlang waved his hands and shook his head, refusing to eat.

Jiang Zhi frowned: "Haven't you even listened to your sister-in-law when you grow up?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Erlang seemed to have been given an imperial order, and he couldn't resist, so he had to bury his head and eat.

A drop of salty tears fell into the sweet sugar water, it was better at home, the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, and she treated him even better than his mother.

The mother wanted to be strong all her life, and pinned all the hopes of the whole family on the elder brother, and they, the younger ones, could only pick up what was left by the elder brother.Since when did he feel the warmth of being at home?It was after my sister-in-law married in.

"Eating the sweet one, why did the salty one fall out? Take it back quickly." The family sat around the black lacquered wooden table, and Jiang Zhi comforted Ye Erlang when he saw Ye Erlang crying.

"Mother is right, my little uncle doesn't cry. Before my little aunt cried, brother Heng patted me. Now my uncle is crying, and brother Heng pats me too." Ye Heng said, stretched out his little hand and patted Ye Erlang, I still don't forget to say: "Little uncle doesn't cry, pat, blow, don't cry, don't cry."

"Pfft—" Jiang Zhi couldn't help laughing, and Ye Xiaomei also laughed.

After eating the poached eggs, Ye Erlang opened the bag and took out the half hanging money inside.

"Sister-in-law, I don't have to worry about food and drink at the carpenter's shop. I have money. The money is my sister-in-law's hard-earned money. It should be left for my nephew to study in the future. I'm a rough person and it's not good to carry too much money with me."

This child, shouldn't the elders give pocket money?He worked hard outside alone at a young age, and due to the characteristics of the times, Jiang Zhi didn't force him to get him back, and gave him some money, which was more polite and too sincere.

"Erlang, you are a good boy, have you ever wondered why your sister-in-law secretly gave you half the money?" Jiang Zhi asked back.
