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

Chapter 32 It's Raining

"That's fine, that's fine." Patriarch Jiang nodded, and called a child over at random, "Go to your Mr. Jiang's house and tell you Grandma Jiang that the county magistrate is going to sit down later."

The child ran away quickly, and after a while, Jiang Zixing was almost too busy. When he learned that the county magistrate wanted to go to his house for dinner, he didn't have any special reaction.

Before Jiang Zisheng went out, he said that maybe the county magistrate would come back, so the rest of Old Jiang's family, except Jiang Yuan, were waiting at home with some anxiety.

They have always been ordinary peasants, and they have a natural sense of fear of being an official, especially this time the county magistrate may come to each house for dinner.

After getting the news, Yang Erni tried her best to cook a table of dishes she was best at. In fact, they were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but after being cooked by her, they were extraordinarily delicious.

When the county magistrate and patriarch Jiang came back with Jiang Zixing, the old man Jiang was so nervous that he didn't know what to say, "County, the magistrate, I have met the magistrate."

"You don't need to be too polite soon." The county magistrate hurriedly stopped their unstandard salutes, and said with a smile: "You Lao Jiang's family has grown such high-yield wheat seeds, and you are also a meritorious person, so there is no need to be too polite, no need How polite." After speaking, his eyes swept over the nine boys and the youngest Jiang Yu'an, "Your family is prosperous, with many children and grandchildren."

Jiang Zixing answered, "There are indeed a lot of children at home, Mr. County Magistrate, this way please." He led the county magistrate into the main room, where two tables were set up.

Lao Jiang's family has a large number of people, and they always eat separately.

The county magistrate walked to the main seat and sat down, and then smiled and asked everyone to sit down, as if he was the owner of this small house.

After sitting down, I chatted with Old Man Jiang about the crops, and then went to ask a few Lang about his knowledge.

Jiang Boyuan and Jiang Zhongcheng, who were going to take the county examination next year, answered very seriously, especially Jiang Zhongcheng, who had made up his mind to take the imperial examination in the future, he listened attentively to what the county magistrate said.

The county magistrate secretly regretted that Jiang Zixing was able to teach his nephew and nephew so well. If it weren't for the scar on the brow bone, his official career would be smooth now, and Old Jiang's family would not be just a farm like it is now.

Thinking about it this way, he didn't intend to belittle him. He predicted that the children of Lao Jiang's family would be very promising in the future, and he was even more kind to Lao Jiang's family.

The matter of harvesting wheat seeds was discussed with Patriarch Jiang. The price was agreed upon, and the time when the county government sent people to collect grain seeds was agreed. Both parties were very satisfied. Go back to the county government.

All the wheat seeds in the village will be taken away by the county government at the price of wheat seeds. This is one of the best news for Jiangjia Village this year.

Everyone is getting ready.

In addition to leaving enough for my family to plant seeds in winter, I gave a little bit to relatives who are close to me, and sold all the rest to the county government, and then bought enough food for my family at ordinary prices from the county government.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and many people even bought pens and inks for their children and asked Jiang Zixing when he could resume classes.

Jiang Zixing was happy to see the results, and Ying started teaching the children in early August.

The school in the village is close to the ancestral hall. Originally, there was only one old room that was vacant. Now the number of children studying suddenly increased, and the room was not enough.

Everyone just got the money to sell grain seeds. Finally, after discussion, the patriarch made the decision. Each family is willing to donate some money. After it rains and there is no shortage of water, the school will start to expand the house.

For this matter, everyone is happy to see it succeed.

Even if there are children who are not old enough to go to school now, there will be children sooner or later, so they donate more or less, adding up to 34 taels, enough to build two houses for a school.

In mid-July, the weather finally cooled down as everyone expected, and Lao Jiang's business of selling ice cubes had to stop.

The saltpeter was packed in sacks by Mrs. Jiang, and carefully stored in an empty room where the sundries were kept.

The people in Jiangjia Village who had harvested the food began to gather energy. They had to prepare the firewood for the winter quickly. Otherwise, there would be no firewood to burn the kang in winter, and people would not be able to carry it.

After a summer of exposure to the sun, the trees on the mountain only sparsely grew a little bit of leaves, and occasionally a tree that was dried up was quickly cut down.

The rain fell in one night.

At first, it was just a fine drizzle, and then the raindrops began to get bigger and bigger, smashing on the ground and stones.

The light sleeper was awakened like this, and after realizing that it was the sound of rain that had not been heard for a long time, he ran out of the house without his shoes on.

Feeling the cool rain on the body, but my heart is jumping for joy. People in their thirties are now as happy as children, running wildly and cheering in the rain!
His voice woke up more people, and then many people woke up in their sleep, and when they realized that it was raining, they were as excited as the previous person.

What's more, I silently took out all the containers that can hold water in the house, put them under the eaves and in the yard to catch the rain, and watched the more and more water inside without blinking, for fear that my eyes would flicker , the rain turned into a dream.

Lao Jiang's family was also awakened by the sound of rain, and then slept more peacefully.

Early the next morning, the originally bare mountain was still a little bare, but the sound of the river could be heard faintly in the ear, and the air was surprisingly fresh.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Jiang packed some food for her daughters-in-law and asked them to send them back to their parents' homes as soon as possible.

After this incident, I am afraid that there are not many families with surplus food at home.

Yang Erni and Sun Yan's eyes were a little red, Yang Erni was a straightforward person, and now she just hugged Mrs. Jiang and cried, "Mother, how can there be such a good mother-in-law like you in the world, I really did a great job in my previous life What a good thing, I have only married into such a family in this life!"

Sun Yan was not good at words, so she just held Mrs. Jiang's hand and called "Mother."

"Good boys, you are all good boys too." Mrs. Jiang smiled and narrowed her eyes, "You are also good boys, that's why we became a family."

When she first chose her daughter-in-law, she valued character the most, and she chose daughters from families with harmonious families.That's why the family has been harmonious and beautiful for so many years.

An Shuhui sighed softly. Her mother passed away early, and her father passed away a few years ago. There are no brothers and sisters in the family. Now she is the only one who has no natal family to return to.

Jiang Yuan noticed An Shuhui's expression, and she had never heard An Shuhui mention her grandparents before, so she guessed something, hurried over to hug An Shuhui, and softly called out "" Mother~”
