After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 116
Li Jia and the men from each village looked at the river water that had already reached half of the embankment, and watched the river water keep rushing eastward, and everyone's nerves were tense.

If it was in previous years, such a big water would have almost overflowed the dam, and they had also started to flee to a higher place, and now they can still persist. It is their county magistrate who has been urging people to raise their height these days The result of tamping the embankment.

I just hope that the dam can be held this year. Although they haven’t planted much land after the summer harvest according to previous years’ experience, they still planted some land after all. If the dam can be kept, not only can their harvest be kept, but they won’t even need it. He fled with his family.

Who wants to leave the home they depend on for survival if they can not flee?
Just like that, Shen Jingcheng, who was running around the river bank every day, saw that Hei lost weight.God is still an eye opener. There was no flood in his first year of office. For nearly two months, as the rainy season passed silently, the water level in the river gradually dropped.

From the first day when the water level dropped, the people who insisted on staying by the river showed smiles on their faces, and the tense atmosphere by the river gradually became full of laughter. Almost everywhere Shen Jingcheng visited, there were people smiling. Say hello to him.

Although Shen Jingcheng couldn't recognize all these people, he would still nod when someone greeted them.

Another half month passed, and as the sky stopped raining at every turn, most of the water that overflowed the dam slowly receded into the river, and the villagers guarding the bank also went home happily to prepare for the autumn harvest.

Shen Jingcheng returned to the yamen and had a rare good sleep. When he got up the next day, he wrote a letter to Gu Jin, and handed over a note to the imperial court, requesting that this year's taxes and grains be kept in the county and used to build dams after autumn.

The magistrate of Guide Prefecture received Shen Jingcheng's note, and happily handed it over to the capital.

It was rare that there was no flood in Yuhe County this year, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, when there is a flood in Yuhe County, the refugees almost come to Fucheng. He has to take care of it, and he has to take care of it.

But now Shen Jingcheng just wants to keep the taxes and food, and he doesn't need to pay money or food to support people, what can't he agree to?

Besides, Shen Jingcheng was personally appointed by the old emperor, and he also had the autumn grain from Yuhe County, so there was not much in total, so there was really no need to embarrass others.

Everything went smoothly on Shen Jingcheng's side, and Shenjia'ao's life of learning to swim was over, and he began to supervise the autumn harvest in Shenjia'ao and Shenjia Village.

Except for some fields at the foot of the mountain, Shenjiaao mainly produces various fruits on the mountain. All the good-looking ones are transported to the capital and some prosperous capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, and the average-looking ones are shipped to various Shenjia shops along the road for wholesale sale. , and those small fruits that grow crookedly, or have bruises, bruises, and unsightly scars on the fruits, hire the women in the village to make various kinds of preserved fruits.

As for the Shenjia Village, there is simply a large piece of land. The new food chief here is one of the first batch of relatively powerful families who came here with her and Shen Jingcheng, and now they also live in Shenjia Village.

When the new head of grain was about to leave for the capital, he even came to ask for advice on the timely procedures.

Although Gu Jin knew about these things, she didn't know the exact location of Nakanhe's yamen, so she wrote a letter to Shen Jingcheng.Shen Jingcheng also quickly replied to the letter, in which he wrote down almost everything he knew in detail.

After receiving the letter, the new food chief thanked him repeatedly and tremblingly embarked on the road to the capital.

And because this was the first year that Shen Jingcheng was not in Qingshan County to take care of the harvest, Gu Jin stayed and put all the crops in the field into the warehouse, and planted winter wheat in the field. After paying the taxes, she brought her children and Gu Xiu set off for Yuhe County again.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Gu Jin deliberately pulled a cart full of ginger grown on his own mountain before leaving.

This ginger was discovered by her and Shen Jingcheng on the mountain in Shenjiaaoli back then. Knowing that this thing can drive away the wind and cold, she left some seeds every year and planted them specially for winter use. Now the two ginger fields have spread Acre size up.

In previous years, people from pharmacies would come to collect these gingers, and the price was not low, but this year, because Shen Jingcheng had to repair the embankment in winter, she kept all of them and did not sell any of them.

As a woman, although she has never served corvee, she also knows that repairing dams in winter is a hard job, and the river is very windy, and often a northerly wind blows, which can freeze people thoroughly. Sometimes, some people will die because of the wind and cold.

With these gingers, such things can be avoided a lot.

Of course, she is not purely kind, nor does she feel sorry for the lost money, but it is her husband who does this, so she can only try her best to ensure that people will not get sick, and that no more lives will be lost because of the dam repair, so that this A man who was obviously doing good deeds, ended up with the result of people crying and complaining.

However, Gu Jin thought a lot, and was still surprised when he saw Shen Jingcheng.

In the backyard of the county government office, Gu Jin looked at Shen Jingcheng who had lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, and almost didn't recognize him.

"How did you get so thin?"

"Running to the river every day, isn't it like this?" Shen Jingcheng hugged her in his arms with a smile, and let out a long breath.

Although he was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground, he always felt empty and unreliable in his heart. Seeing Gu Jin now, he seemed to be complete in an instant.

At this tender moment, Xiao Youping, who was held in Gu Xiu's arms, saw his mother hugging a black man, and suddenly howled with a loud voice, and kept running out while crying.

"Wow wow wow..."

His mother, how can he hug someone else?
Gu Xiu was taken aback by his sudden jump, and quickly hugged the brat tightly in her arms, for fear that he would jump out all of a sudden and fall to the ground, after all, this happened before.

Gu Jin heard the cry of the child, and quickly withdrew from Shen Jingcheng's arms to pick up Xiao Youping who was in Gu Xiu's arms.

"This child recognizes people very well recently, and no one is allowed to hug him except me and Axiu." Gu Jin hugged the child, and complained to Shen Jingcheng in a funny way.

Shen Jingcheng looked at this seven or eight-month-old baby who was almost as fat as a ball, with surprise in his eyes.

How come it's only been three months, and this kid has grown up a few laps, and he's still as fat as a ball?

Seeing that the black man was always looking at him, Xiao Youping immediately buried his head in Gu Jin's arms, and his two little fleshy claws firmly grasped Gu Jin's clothes, revealing only two dark eyes, quietly looking at him. Xiang Shen Jingcheng's eyes were extremely wary.
