Escape from the desert

Chapter 42 Someone was sold

Jiang Yan's brain collapsed, these silly sons: "The mountain road is uneven, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. Do you think it is so easy to carry water?"

Jiang Yan said angrily: "According to what you said, the three of you are busy fetching water and digging wells. Who will pick green leaves for me, and who will go to town to sell rice rolls?"

Jiang Yan didn't say more, she already had a general idea in her mind, she just left some space for her sons to think and cultivate their thinking ability.

Several people began to bury their heads in their thoughts, and the sun gradually set in the west, and Jiang Yan took a few people to rush home.

Tomorrow I will go to town to sell rice rolls, and tonight my family will make cold tofu.

Her purpose today was to find water sources. She found a lot of things but did not pick them, so she picked two wild Ganoderma lucidum. Luckily for her, the Ganoderma lucidum had been sprayed with powder, and they were all grown up, but they were not very big. They sold for 38 taels. Silver is the one she has earned the most so far.

In addition, the water source was found today, Jiang Yan flew up in a good mood, and couldn't help but jump a few times when going down the mountain.

When I got home, I simply washed the dirt on my body as usual.

The two daughters-in-law have already prepared dinner. Jiang Yan has become accustomed to eating brown rice in the past few days. In addition, under her authority, her daughter-in-law is willing to put oil and salt when cooking, and it is not too bad to eat.

"Why hasn't the third child come back? It's time for dinner."

Jiang Yan looked outside the door suspiciously, the sky was already dark, and Lin Xi went out to carry water and has not come back yet.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xi came back with two buckets of water, and when the water was finished, she said, "Mother, I'm back."

"Why did it take so long?"

Lin Xi looked regretful and choked: "Uncle Gen from the former village sold the small stone. He was just negotiating the price with his wife, saying that he would come and take it away in a car tomorrow."

Jiang Yan frowned, thinking of the child named Xiao Shi, who was about the same age as Lin Feng, and came to her to eat cold tofu a few days ago.

Xiao Shi's father, Lin Gensheng, is a kind-hearted and honest man. He has helped Lin Xi and the others many times before, so Xiao Shi was sold, and everyone was pale and helpless.

"Xiao Shishi's mother is ill. Uncle Gen spent all the family's money in order to treat Xiao Shishi's mother. In order to save a few mouthfuls of food, he almost starved to death..."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, Wang Jinhua also said with a pale face: "The woman came to our house to ask a question today, and I drove it out. Mother, we still have food in our house, and if it really doesn't work, we can go to the mountains to find food. , can't sell the child!"

Jiang Yan nodded, thinking of the woman's face, she hated it for a while, the living person might really be starved to death, this person was hungry, and he could eat the bark, so Lin Gensheng was afraid that his wife and children would suffer. , but he is the only big man in his family. If he really starved to death, his wife and children would not survive sooner or later.

Lin Dong said hurriedly: "Mother will not sell us, our family can now go to town to sell rice rolls to make money, and when the autumn harvest is over, there is still food to sell for money! As long as our family works hard, we must not will starve to death!"

Lin Xi opened his mouth and said, "But, God doesn't rain. People in the village say that our place is not auspicious. It must have collided with the god of the earth or the god of heaven, otherwise there will be less rain and more drought."

Jiang Yan didn't know what to say.

Before she put it aside, she did not believe in evil or in God.

But now, I have changed the era and changed the body. If I don’t believe this, science can’t explain it.

During the famine era, the older generation always thought that they would eat less and their children would eat more. Although it is great, how long can a child who has no power to hold on to it last?

Jiang Yan's face is gloomy, she can't help these people, the only thing she can do is to prevent herself from facing this situation, so she has to work hard to make money!

Before it was dark, Jiang Yan took out the pig that was stewed during the day and cut it into small pieces: "Third, you take this bowl of braised pork and come to your uncle's house with me."

Jiang Yan is still soft-hearted. When she thinks that her children have been favored by others, maybe it is because of the kindness of others that they did not starve to death. She still wants to go and see, not to mention, in case the mall has medicines. Can you cure Lin Gen's wife's life?
Lin Xi smelled a bowl of fragrant braised pork in his hand, and his saliva was drooling, but he just licked his mouth and waited obediently at the door.

After Jiang Yan returned to the house, she bought ten kilograms of soba noodles in the mall, and then walked out with a cloth bag: "This is the soba noodles I bought before, and I want to keep it for later. Since Uncle Gen's family is in trouble, let's send it there. ."

Lin Dong nodded, his eyes were a little red: "Mother, Uncle Gen always gave us food quietly in the past, and even took us to his house to eat several times. I didn't expect it... It's more difficult than ours now."

Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Since our family has something to eat now, let's send some over. If others treat you well, it is because they are kind, but it is not a matter of course. You must remember these favors."

Several people looked up at Jiang Yan, and they always felt that the mother was different from before, but they couldn't tell the difference, but they liked the current mother very much.

Jiang Yan took Lin Xi to Qiancun, and by the lights of each house, the two groped on the winding path. This would be the happiest time of the day for everyone, because most of the people in the village were like this. It’s time to cook and eat, there is an endless stream of playful jokes from the children at home, and the evening wind blows, as if all the troubles no longer exist…

After all, Lin Gensheng's home is in the former village. Although he has emptied his family for his wife's treatment, the house is still there. The adobe house is one of the best in the village.

At this time, every family was busy eating dinner, and Lin Gensheng's family was no exception. There was only an elderly father, his sick wife, and two young sons in his family.

When Jiang Yan arrived, the two sons were holding Lin Gensheng in tears. Most of the children in the farm family were precocious.

Jiang Yan felt distressed by this scene. Xiao Shitou knew that he was going to be sold, and he had already accepted everything. Instead of crying, he comforted Lin Gensheng, who couldn't cry.

Jiang Yan reached out and knocked on the wooden door, and the thumping sound interrupted the family's crying.

Lin Gensheng wiped away tears in a panic. After seeing that it was Jiang Yan, he was surprised: "Aunt Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard what the third child said about your family. I'll come and see, how is my sister-in-law? Is your body better?"

Lin Gensheng was obviously surprised. He smiled embarrassedly, and then hurriedly took out two small stools: "Sit down, Hammer, go and pour two bowls of water."
