Escape from the desert

Wang Jinhua took it in shock, her eyes blurred with tears. These expensive things are only used by the wives and ladies in the town. A good family, willing to buy some for unmarried girls, ordinary people would not be willing to spend this wrong money.

But what made her happy was not these two boxes of things, but that her mother-in-law bought them for her, which was a gift from her mother-in-law. Thinking of this, she wished she could hide it and put it away, so she was reluctant to use it.

"Xiaojiang, I'm going back. Ah Jun and the others should be having dinner too, so I won't call you guys. I'll come back tomorrow." Old Wu went to the backyard to tie up the carriage, and fed the horses with fodder and water, but didn't even enter the door. , shouted twice outside and left.

Jiang Yan replied, and the food was set up in the main room. Not long after she sat down, the children came back one after another, and the family began to eat dinner.

Lin Dong: "Mother, the business in the town has been very good for the past two days. Today, Chang'an Restaurant came to make an order. I have signed a contract with them. After that, I will send stewed meat over there every day. In the afternoon, Xiaowen and I I make farm tools at Uncle Lame, and I can get one out tomorrow.”

Lin Nan: "I took the villagers to dig humus soil in the mountains today. There are a lot of people today, and the amount of digging is quite a lot. I just waited for the fields to be turned and shoveled in. The Chang'an Restaurant came to pull thousands of boxes today. Soap, and they asked if there was any wine, hoping to order some more."

Lin Xi: "The village didn't deliver many mountain goods today, but today they harvested a lot of grapes. I went to the kiln and ordered another batch of clay pots. I guess I can make two or three more batches of wine this year."

After dinner, the three brothers of the Lin family briefly talked about their work for the day. Jiang Yan looked at them radiant, confident and open-minded, and the smile on her mouth couldn't stop rising. Slowly had his own ideas and arrangements, looking at them now, the tone was arrogant, the eyes were shining, everyone inadvertently exudes a self-confidence that makes people look sideways.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I bought those two hills. I told you before that I want to build a big house. The hill on the inner side is better. Although it is farther from the village, the terrain is more suitable for building a house. , I am going to build a green brick house on it, and the floor will be paved with stone bricks, making it the most beautiful and largest house in the village."

The houses built before were all mud houses with thatched roofs. Generally, houses in rural areas are built with adobe. When the villagers are slack, they would stir up some pictures and pile them into clods, which are equivalent to adobe bricks. But this time the house was built, She plans to build a brick and tile house, and it needs to be big.

Lin Bei wrestled with his little hands, calculated in his mind, and said, "Mother, a brick house is so expensive, or we should build an adobe house, and the roof can be made of tiles, which is also very luxurious."

He also wanted to build a green brick and tile house, but after being poor for so many years, he really didn't dare to spend money recklessly. Rather than building a house, he wanted to exchange all the money for food and hoard it.

Jiang Yan poked him and explained: "Be good, we will make money after spending the money. Anyway, our family has the ability now. Your brothers are very prosperous now, and they need to build a few more factories to make braised pork." In this way, the ingredients can be sold separately, which is convenient and fast, and more flavors can be made, and the soap factory needs to be expanded, otherwise the business will get better and better in the future, and the supply will not be available.”

As soon as Lin Bei nodded, Shangguan Zixuan said, "Don't worry, Auntie, my business is doing well. Your soap is so useful, no matter how much you make, my father can sell it to you! I guarantee you won't suffer."

Seeing his lazy and confident appearance, the corners of Jiang Yan's eyes twitched: "Little fat man, why don't you go back today?" She looked at Lin Dong, and she had arranged for Lin Dong and the others to send the young master off when they went to town in the morning. go back.

Lin Dong scratched his head, his business was honest: "Xiao Pangpang said that he wanted to stay at our house for a few more days, and I was embarrassed to drive him away. After all, he is the son of our big customer."

Shangguan Zixuan said with a smile: "Auntie, don't rush to send me back, you don't have to worry that I will be tired, your family has finished the autumn harvest, I have fun playing with Xiaodouzi every day, I don't want to go back yet, Once I go back, my father will definitely pressure my husband to teach me to read, so I may not want to go at all."

Jiang Yan patted him on the head angrily, the young master who has never suffered in the world, it seems that these two days have to let him experience the hard work of farmers.

"I also bought [-] acres of paddy fields, which were drawn from the landlord. It is far away from our village, but we have to plant late rice. Our family is too busy. Everyone in the village is busy with their own fields. Second child, Tomorrow, you go to the town to find someone to help, and recruit some casual workers to come back to turn the fields, it doesn’t matter if there are more people, you must finish turning the fields within three days.”

"If the farm tools are ready tomorrow, go to the field and try them first. If you are sure that there is no problem, you can go to the town to find a carpenter to order more. If the villagers are willing to order, you can take it with you."

Now she is not worried that the blueprints will be taken away by malicious people. With the virtues of Li Zheng and the village chief, she probably went to the county to ask for credit the next day after they came out. County magistrate Li is a good official, and after receiving political achievements Based on the foundation of the society, we will definitely find a way to popularize it to the people.

Lin Nan nodded: "I know, mother, don't worry, you must plant all the rice before September." He also helped the landlord's family plant the land before, and he is still very familiar with such things as hiring people to work .

"When the matter of late rice is settled, the family will start to build a house. I originally wanted to arrange the wedding for my second child and Xiaomeng first, but the days are not optimistic. I simply wait until the house is built. I will do it for you. When the time comes, the new house will leave a separate set for you to use as a wedding room, and I will be more happy than happy."

Lin Nan is a young boy after all, his face turned red before he finished listening, and he nodded calmly: "I listen to mother."

Liu Xiaomeng also blushed with embarrassment, lowered her eyes slightly, and said like a mosquito: "Mother can arrange it."

In the evening, Jiang Yan went to look at the seedlings again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she arranged for several children to take turns washing. They are much more diligent.

This soap is for washing and washing. It is more appropriate to say that it is a soap, but it is more troublesome to distinguish it separately. The people here are not so meticulous and particular.

In the past, when there was no water, I would not change my clothes for three to five days. Now that there is water, that is, I sweat a lot and catch up with the autumn harvest, so I change my clothes every day. Under normal circumstances, no rural people would wash and change their clothes every day. Yes, so I don't care whether the soap is used for washing clothes or taking a bath, as long as it can achieve that effect.

It was also because of Jiang Yan's strict restraint during this period that the Lin family gradually got used to washing and changing clothes every day.
