Oops, Fubao was snatched away by the smelly brother next door again

Chapter 28 Li Zheng
"It really shouldn't be wasted." Jiang smiled introspectively, and took a mouthful of vegetables, "Now there is water in our well, which can be used to water the vegetables in the backyard, which is precious."

An Shuhui also said, "Exactly."

Jiang Yuan covered her mouth and laughed.

"This silly boy." An Shuhui didn't know what she was laughing at, and looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile.

Just halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Zixing went out to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw a large group of people outside. He thought that something important had happened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the eldest third uncle said: "Self-examination, it's you, are your parents at home?"

"Here." Jiang Zixing moved out of the aisle and asked everyone to come in, "Third Uncle, who is this?"

The third uncle, who was already over seventy years old, walked in tremblingly holding the door. Jiang Zixing quickly supported his arm, "Sir uncle, please slow down." After finishing speaking, he called Jiang Shuli who had just walked out of the house to go Bring the chair over here.

The third uncle is old and hasn't gone out for a long time, and most of the time he hangs around the door of the house.

He squinted his eyes, looked at the boy who brought him the chair, "Shu Li, Shu Li, is it your Saburo?"

"Exactly." Jiang Zixing nodded, helped third uncle to sit up, and saw Jiang Boyuan brought a glass of water, "Grandpa, drink water."

"Okay, good boy." The third uncle's hands were trembling, and he took a sip of water before talking about the business, "Introspection, everyone came to your house today to say thank you."

"Thank you?" Jiang Zixing really didn't expect what else he had done, and his eyes were full of doubts.

The third uncle didn't say anything, and motioned for the people who came with him to speak.

Everyone talked at once.

"Self-reflection, I went to the field today to take a look at the wheat." One of them said, with a kind of amazing excitement in his eyes, "I was just, I just wanted to try my luck, and I thought maybe the wheat could grow something , I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect Mai to be unaffected by the severe drought.”

"That's right. After I heard about it, I went to see it. The wheat in my house is also growing very well!"

"Self-reflection, this time it's really thanks to your family for reminding us not to sell grain, for giving us well water, and for teaching us how to fetch water. This year's wheat seeds were exchanged with your family last year."

"Yes, yes, your family is really the benefactor of our whole family!"

Everyone, you and I have pieced together the whole context of the matter.

Jiang Zixing didn't expect that the wheat seeds from last year's bumper harvest were also resistant to cold. He immediately thought that Jiang Yu'an might have secretly changed the wheat seeds.

He didn't show it on his face, "Uncles and brothers, we are all of the same clan, that is, one family, why should we be so polite among the family."

However, everyone showed their greatest sincerity, some made small objects by themselves, some brought food, and some even took out all the things they had treasured for many years.

Jiang Zixing knew that this was always the case among the clan, so he only took a small part of it from everyone, and carefully put it into the sack brought by Jiang Boyuan.

Naturally, when he was studying, he also saw his brothers cheating each other in order to fight for the family property, so he cherished the harmony among the clan members even more.

A group of people pushed and pulled for a while, and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang both went on stage and pushed to return the confiscated things by Jiang Zixing.

It was the first time for Jiang Yu'an to see such a "magnificent" scene. It was much more interesting than the scene of someone refusing a red envelope and being chased away by relatives for a long time during the Chinese New Year.

She was sitting on the threshold of the kitchen, watching from a distance with her little face propped on her hands.

In the end, it was the third uncle who made it public, so everyone no longer insisted on keeping the things, but they all remembered the kindness of Lao Jiang's family in their hearts, and made up their minds to treat Lao Jiang's children better in the future.

After sending those people away, Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were so tired that they seemed to be back in the old days when they were doing heavy work. The old couple sat in the chairs for a long time in silence before they all laughed together.

After only two days, Patriarch Jiang came to the door with Li Zheng.

Li is from Lijia Village next door. He wears very decent clothes and has a well-groomed beard. When he speaks, his eyes shine brightly, and he strokes his goatee from time to time.

"Jiang Xiucai, I have heard from your patriarch about the method of fetching water, and I have tried it." After Li Zheng sat down, he didn't even touch the water brought by Jiang Boyuan, he just looked at it with a condescending look Looking at Jiang introspecting, "I just don't know where Jiang Xiucai saw it, can you let me read that book?"

"I saw a remnant of an ancient book at the stall of a down-and-out scholar many years ago. I flipped through it and found it interesting, so I wrote it down." Jiang Zixing said what he had thought up early in the morning, with a look of regret, "It's a pity that my family was poor at that time, and I didn't have any spare money to buy books other than schoolwork."

"Is that true?" Li Zheng stared at Jiang Zixing with burning eyes, as if to see if what he said was true or not.

"Naturally." Jiang Zixing looked calm, and looked at Li Zheng without fear.

Li Zheng was silent for a moment, and asked unwillingly: "Then do you still remember the name of that ancient book?"

"It's just a fragment, without a name." Jiang Zixing shook his head, "The scholar said it was a family heirloom, and his father gave it to him just like that. If he had no other way out, he wouldn't want to sell these things."

There are not a few people who are so poor that they need to sell books. In the county, there are often people who set up stalls to sell used books.

Most of those people left after selling out, and they are here today and there tomorrow, so there is no way to verify the down-and-out scholar Jiang Zixing said, but there is no way to refute it.

Li Zheng asked a lot of detailed questions, such as what was said in the Central Plains dialect in the ancient book, how many years ago and where he read it, or why it took so long after the drought to remember it.

No matter when patriarch Jiang explained the matter to Lizheng, or when Jiang self-examination said it now, they deliberately picked Jiang Yu'an out of it.

For such a precocious child, it is not a good thing for the child if outsiders know about it, or if the reputation spreads.

At first, Patriarch Jiang smiled and watched Lizheng ask Jiang Zixing's words, but after hearing Lizheng's series of questions, he gradually felt something was wrong.

Ruo Lizheng just asked Jiang Zixing where he learned this method, and how the ancient Chinese dialect was written. It can be understood that Lizheng wanted to know more about it.

However, at this moment, he had already started to ask Jiang Zixing how his family was doing, whether there was enough food, etc., Patriarch Jiang had a bad feeling in his heart.

Originally, Patriarch Jiang didn't think much of the way Shangli was condescending to his subordinates and flattering his superiors.

Naturally, it was impossible for Jiang Zixing to tell an outsider the real situation of his family, he could only be vague.

This made Li Zheng think that the Jiang family was in a very difficult situation, and there was a look of "as expected" in his eyes.

The next moment, he took out a bulging purse from his arms, and threw it into Jiang Zixing's arms like alms, "Jiang Xiucai, take it, and you will pretend that I have never been here today."

　Thank you for the reward and monthly pass of the cherry blossoms floating like snow~
