Escape from the desert

Chapter 208 Test Test
There are several widows in the village. Lin Cong's mother is the one who has the deepest influence on Jiang Yan.

It was only later that she came out of the kiln. She was used to staying in the kiln, and after returning to the village, she has not settled down all these years. Many men in the village have slept with her.

As a widow, Jiang Yan has a bad name, and anyone who hears it will say that she is fierce and domineering, but Lin Cong's mother is the opposite. In the few years she first came to the village, she still had a bit of plump charm, and she lived in the brothel all year round. Li has a good skin and speaks softly and charmingly.

Most of the women and girls in the village are born with bad looks, and with years of hard work, they are all thin, black and rough, which set off Lin's mother and let her live like a fish in water in the village.

Less than two years after arriving in Linjiacun, as a widow, she suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to a son, which became a lively event in Linjiacun for a while, causing the women in the village to curse frequently, who is the youngest son? No one dared to admit it so far, and she herself refused to say it.

But Lin's mother doted on this young son very much, and raised him with delicious food and drink. On the contrary, Lin Cong, who was tortured by her since he was a child, beat and scolded him all day long, wishing him to die. Cong has always been the family's labor force, and now that he has grown up, he has to support a family.

It is also in the same family environment that he and Lin Xi can socialize together and form good friends who talk about everything.

"Lin Cong, if anyone in the village is willing to sell broad beans, you can take some." Seeing the basket of broad beans, Jiang Yan had an idea in mind.

Lin Cong put away the bowls and chopsticks, and then said, "Okay, I'll listen to my aunt, but there aren't many people growing broad beans in the village this year. How much do you want, aunt? I'll take care of it."

"You can charge two to three hundred catties, and you can negotiate the price with the villagers. You don't need to deliberately lower the price, just charge according to the market or town price."

There are not many broad bean growers in the village, but Lin Cong is a smart man. In addition to collecting mountain products in Linjia Village, he will also go to several nearby villages to collect. If the nearby villages are not enough, he will continue to go to further villages.

The life of the villagers in these ten miles and eight villages is not easy. There are peddlers who sell small things and they don’t necessarily buy them, but some people go to the village to collect mountain goods. Even without them, they can go to the mountains to pick them. As long as they can exchange money, everyone is diligent Go up the mountain.

"Auntie, why do you need so many broad beans? A few hundred catties is not a lot."

"You can just collect it as I said, and you can just ask my Xiao Wu to get the bill for how much money you have."

Although there are broad beans in this world, there is no bean paste. Jiang Yan plans to open a restaurant in the future, and bean paste is an indispensable condiment. Moreover, even if the bean paste is sold separately, it will be a big profit.

"Okay, I'm going to visit the village here." Lin Cong ran out with a smile.

Jiang Yan turned her head to Tao Bai and said, "You have to read the bills later, and when Lin Cong brings the broad beans, you can tell me."

It takes a long time for broad beans to be made into bean paste, and it takes at least a month to dry them in the sun. Before winter, they can get enough sun.

Two days later.

The construction team arrived at Linjia Village before dawn. Because the terrain had been surveyed long ago, the two teams carried tools and began to dig the foundation along the drawings. More than 50 people were recruited from Linxizao Village, and all of them were handed over to the old Fangtou. Arrange with Lao Chu.

The people in the family were busy with their own affairs, and Jiang Yan was not idle. After the house was built, she had to arrange furniture. She planned to order some more modern furniture, such as the table for the hall of the main house and the bed for the bedroom. , Even the quilts and kitchen utensils have to be re-customized.

The village head of the private school has given full authority to the Lin family. She has to order a batch of desks. In order to facilitate the children to store their belongings, she plans to order a row of wooden storage boxes at the back of the classroom as in modern times. locker.

In addition to these, there are brooms and shovels, and there are a lot of odds and ends. If Jiang Yan thinks of it, she will order it first. If she can't think of it for a while, she will arrange it later when she needs it.

After the construction of the house started, the whole Linjia Village became lively. Almost half of the young people in the village helped with the work on the construction site. Because there were more people eating and a few more women cooking, the selected people were all complacent.

For them, being recruited by the Lin family to work is much more comfortable than going to the town.

Time flies, two months have passed.

In October, the weather starts to turn cold, so I have to wear two more clothes.

In the past two months, the Lin family's house has begun to take shape, the private school in the village is about to be built, and the roads in the village are being closed.

In addition to the stewed meat base, Jiang Yan also bought two recipes from the mall, the three fresh big bone broth base and the mushroom soup base, both of which are not spicy. When the peppers are harvested, they can make a spicy base.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the village chief pushed open the fence door of Lin's house, and the students in the yard all turned their heads towards the door.

"Hi village chief!"

The children greeted the village head at the door in unison, as if they were used to the village head's arrival, and after the greetings were over, each of them lowered their heads and continued to write and draw on the ground.

After Jiang Yan allowed the children in the village to study in the yard, the number of children who came to read and write has changed from a dozen to dozens. The Lin family's yard is not big enough to place a table, and the children are either brought by themselves. or sitting on the ground with one buttocks, holding wooden sticks one by one, and writing on the ground very seriously.

The village chief smiled in relief, raised his voice, and shouted into the house: "Is Xiao Jiang in the house? I have something to discuss with him."

Qiao Le, who was under the eaves, nodded: "She's in the back room, village chief, wait a minute, I'll call her out."

Before he could go in, Jiang Yan had already walked out of the house. The number of children studying in the past two months had increased day by day. At the peak, there were more than a hundred of them. Go to the open space outside the house.

Jiang Yan looked at a group of children holding wooden sticks, and said softly: "The children have been studying for a few months, Mr. Qiao, why don't you take a test and give the children certain rewards according to their grades. I will pay for this reward here."

When Qiao Le heard this, a light flashed in his eyes: "I also have this idea these days, but I am afraid that you will spend money. I can't take care of every child with my own money."

It's okay to ask Jiang Yan to buy the four treasures of the study of the Lin family's children on weekdays, but he is embarrassed to ask for the children in the village. After all, there are so many children in the village, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Jiang's family.
