Escape from the desert

Chapter 240
He is the group of people who benefited the most from the late rice this time. They all listened to Aunt Jiang and planted all the paddy fields at home with late rice. In order to have a better harvest, some of them even rented paddy fields that others did not plant. to plant.

So for them, if they just cut firewood to thank Jiang Yan, they would only feel that it would be enough if they wished they could cut down the whole mountain.

The young man brought over half a bag of pounded rice, with the husks removed, and half a bag of white rice.

He smiled shyly, "I know that Aunt Jiang's family does not lack large white rice, but I just saw your Jinhua went to the threshing ground to borrow a stone roller, this is the new rice that my family just came out of, I will recite it all for you! You can have it at home tonight!"

The young man scratched his head while talking, and the smile on his face was cramped, but the simple and honest smile warmed Jiang Yan's heart. Although she didn't know this young man, she was attracted by his pure energy.

Jiang Yan looked at the half bag of new rice, at least thirty catties, but shook her head and refused, because if one was accepted, the others would not be able to accept it.

The young and vigorous young man, Guan Jiang Yan refused to refuse, put the rice bag on the big table in the yard, with a firm attitude, "I will put it here, anyway, I won't carry it back after I recite it, Auntie, you just Tell me, I will go to the mountain to chop firewood for your house now!"

After finishing speaking, before Jiang Yan could respond, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, pushing away the gathered villagers one after another. As soon as she got out of the door, she ran away quickly. Young people are fast-paced. When Jiang Yan chased to the door, the young man had disappeared silhouette.

"Hey! Whose child is this, why are you so stubborn!"

As soon as she finished sighing, other villagers also piled up the things they brought on the table, and put them on the ground if they couldn't finish them, and they piled up to the brim in a short while.

And as soon as the things were put away, the villagers bid farewell to each other and left. Jiang Yan didn't come to see who was who.

After a while, the people in the yard left in a hurry, and the village head also smiled and said: "Oh! Don't refuse, this is everyone's wish. The young man just now is a child of the Li family at the head of the village. His name is Li Daming, he followed his mother to escape famine and settled here with us last year, thanks to you, he can harvest a lot of rice this season."

When Jiang Yan heard this, the appearance of the young man just now appeared in her mind. She hadn't seen Li Daming much before, but she talked about it when listening to the gossip of the two daughters-in-law.

He and her mother are the only two people in Li Daming's family. Because they came to Linjia Village, where they escaped famine, there is no land in the village. The rough house rented is still distributed by the village. After paying taxes, the remaining grain will be rented out.

Because I believed in Jiang Yan, there was no place for him to grow chili peppers, and he tried his best to win it. When planting late rice, many people in the village did not believe it. They only planted a few acres of land, but he did the opposite. I rented the fields from my family, and I turned over the fields all by myself, and planted more than ten acres of land in a daze.

He originally thought that if the harvest was mediocre, he would get more food if he planted more. Now that it is better, the harvest will be doubled and the harvest will be doubled. After this season of late rice, he can directly buy a few acres of his own field in the village. The poor households suddenly became well-off families.

"That's the result of this child's own hard work, but this child is also quite clever, and it can be regarded as the emperor's will pays off."

A flash of admiration flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. Although it was because of her in the late rice, it was more due to everyone's own credit. Receiving so much gratitude made her feel the simple and tenacious character of the common people again, and also made her feel better. She understands the poverty and helplessness of ordinary people.

In the next few days, the entire Lin Family Village was extremely lively, and the threshing ground was crowded with people every day. The big guys were busy threshing the grains and shells. Everything that was thriving made the whole mountain seem to have a little more vitality, gloomy And the misty sky seemed no longer oppressive and silent.

Because Linjia Village is exempted from taxes, this time the late rice does not need to be handed in. Most people in the village use a small part of the hulls to taste the new rice, and most of them carry it to the town to exchange for money or store it in the cellar at home.

The harvest is gradually coming to an end, and the cold winter is approaching quietly. On the brand new winding road in Linjia Village, there are more and more vehicles than usual. The villagers are all smiling, and they go home to buy things with baskets and dustpans on their backs.

Jiang Yan also called a family and is holding the second family meeting at home, but compared to the last time, this meeting has more Qiao Le, Jiang Wen and the newly bought servants.

"This family meeting is mainly to talk about the current situation at home." In the courtyard, the cold wind was blowing, and everyone shrugged their noses dryly. Jiang Yan sat at the gate and continued to raise her voice: "Our family is considered big this year. Changes, this is inseparable from everyone's hard work, now that winter has entered, the weather is getting colder, and after finishing the next arrangement, the family will prepare for the cat winter New Year's Eve."

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Dong said: "Mother, is the next thing to do is to enter the new house for drinking? Over the house, I heard from the third child that a catty is finishing up, and we can move in soon. went in."

Lin Xi, who was named, also hurriedly responded: "The work will be over in about ten days. Many parts of the house are built at a pound. In fact, we can move in now."

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, the construction team was foggy when they came in the morning, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge, so he recruited another group of people to try to work more during the warmer days. More people work, more people are stronger, and the project time is also accelerated.

Giving Lin Xi an appreciative look, Jiang Yan said, "I've been counting with my husband before. Our family not only wants to have house wine, but also a big happy event!"

"What a happy event?"

Everyone looked puzzled, even the chubby little Douzi raised his head, blinking Xingyuan's big dark eyes with anticipation.

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes fell on Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng, and said gently: "After so long, it's time to arrange the marriage between Xiaomeng and the second child."

Jiang Yan walked over a few steps, took Liu Xiaomeng's hand gently, and continued under her shocked gaze: "During this period, you have suffered a lot of grievances because of the wedding ceremony, my mother is sorry for you , I have been procrastinating before, just thinking, when the new house is built, so that you can marry in a good manner, I want everyone, especially those who have betrayed you, to know that my Lin family, I cherish you as a daughter-in-law! Little Dream……"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Xiaomeng knelt down on the ground, and she heard a string called reason snapped in her mind, her pupils dilated from shock suddenly filled with tears, and all the emotions and joys turned into voices. Sobbing.
