After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 48
Chen Ergou said convincingly: "It's not that I don't pay back the money I borrowed. Sanlang, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can do it. At worst, when my donkey comes back, I will recognize you as a godfather and help your family for the rest of my life." work..."

Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang's faces turned green from anger, and they shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Picking up a wooden shovel was about to shoot him.

Chen Ergou and his wife were so frightened that they got up and ran a long way away, and kept yelling, "Then... can you lend me your deer, and when my donkey comes back, I will go to the mountains to hunt one and return it to you, no... three Pay you back..."

Jiang Sanlang was so angry that he held up his wooden shovel and chased after him.

Chen Ergou and his wife were so frightened that they ran away without a trace.

The villagers on the threshing ground couldn't help cursing after hearing this: "It's really shameless, no wonder Chen Donkey dared to block the road and rob. He has such parents, it's no wonder he can learn well."

The more Jiang Sanlang thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he always felt that Chen Ergou was coming.

"No, I have to go to Patriarch Chen and ask him to come forward to resolve this matter."

After all, Chen Ergou is a member of the Chen clan, and only the patriarch of the Chen clan can control him.

Chun Niang nodded: "You go, I see what kind of trouble Chen Ergou is going to make."

"Yes." Jiang Sanlang dropped the wooden shovel in his hand, and walked towards Patriarch Chen's house.

The midsummer sun is already like a small furnace.

Ying Bao took Yo Yo for a walk outside, seeing the sun-baked Xiao Wu Xiaojie sweating profusely, so she hurried home.

He carried the two younger brothers out of the basket, and asked Yuan Bao to carry the tiger out.

Two mats were spread on the floor of the main room, and four boys sat on the mats and played Kong Mingsuo and jigsaw puzzles.

Little Yingbao went to the kitchen to cook.

Stir-frying is impossible, but she can wash rice and cook rice, and cook a pot of water chestnuts by the way.

Anyway, no one saw it right now, so Ying Bao simply took out a basket of water chestnuts, washed them and put them into the pot to start cooking.

The stove in her house has two pots, one for cooking rice and the other for water chestnuts.

Not long after, the rice was cooked and the water chestnuts were cooked.

Take out the water chestnuts, pour the water chestnut water into the crock separately, put some brown sugar in it and stir it, and when it is cold, give it to Yuan Bao and Hu Zi to drink.

Take out some green vegetables, wash them and put them aside for Auntie to cook when she comes back.

A hen in the family hatched a flock of chicks in early spring, and there were twenty chicks. They were ready to forage, so Yingbao threw the picked green vegetable leaves to them for pecking.

The chick was fluffy, its wings had sprouted some hard feathers, and it was chattering around Yingbao's feet.

Until evening, Jiang Sanlang and Chun Niang went home.

When Chunniang saw that the little girl had cooked the rice and washed the vegetables, she couldn't help touching her little head, and said with pity: "Bao'er is really capable."

Ying Bao pursed her lips and smiled: "I also boiled water chestnuts, I asked Yuan Bao and Hu Zi to bring some back, and there is also a small pot, mother, you can try it."

Chunniang was surprised: "Are you looking for water chestnuts again?"

Sakura nodded.

"You brought your brother with you?" Chunniang asked.

She seemed to see the little girl walking around with the big deer on a leash.

"No, I found it by myself." Ying Bao said without blushing.

Chunniang did not suspect him, and said: "Bao'er, it's best to go out to play with your older brothers and sisters in the future."

The matter hadn't subsided before, and she didn't dare to let her daughter go out of their sight alone.

"Well, mother, don't worry, I will be with Sister Dani and the others in the future." Yingbao nodded obediently.

Chunniang cooks, and the family sits down to eat.

Xiaojie Xiaowu smelled the aroma of the food and quickly crawled over, grabbing his parents and sister and screaming.

Chunniang fed them steamed eggs with a spoon, and asked her husband, "Sanlang, what will Patriarch Chen say when he goes to West Village?"

Jiang Sanlang pawed at the rice and said: "Chen Ergou said it was Chen Laoshuan who instigated it, so Patriarch Chen went to his house to give him a scolding. This matter will probably be settled.

However, Patriarch Chen assured me that Chen Ergou would not come to harass us again in the future. "

"That's good." Chun Niang felt relieved.

After eating, Jiang Sanlang cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, and Chunniang boiled water to bathe and change the clothes for the children.

Since the two little monkeys could crawl, they have been scurrying all over the ground, and their whole bodies are dyed like mud monkeys. The shorts and short jackets look like they have been washed through the mud.

After changing her clothes, Chun Niang slapped her son's butt, "If you crawl around on the ground again, I'll beat you to death."

Xiaojie giggled, Xiaowu wrinkled his nose, turned around and looked for his sister for comfort.

Yingbao is now lying on the table in the Westinghouse, first copying a copybook, and then copying two pages of thousand-character text.

Now her handwriting has a good shape, although it has no style, it is very elegant and correct.

The summer harvest is over.

Lizheng brought the townsman over to urge the tax. Jiang Sanlang paid the tax first, and then paid the tax for the eldest brother and the second brother's family.

When their family's golden ears are sold, the eldest brother and the second brother will naturally return the money.

During this period, the Jiang family bought hundreds of catties of wheat from other villagers and kept them for home storage.

After the wheat is harvested, it is time to plow the land, transplant rice seedlings, and grow soybeans. It takes a month to be busy.

But at this time, the golden ears are also mature, and they are waiting to be harvested and dried.

Jiang Sanlang scratched his head, not knowing what to do first.

"Father, I will harvest golden ears, leave these to me."

Yingbao took the initiative to ask for help: "Our family only has [-] golden ears, and I can finish picking them in two days. Now that the sun is shining, it just saves drying."

"Then leave it to Bao'er." Jiang Sanlang readily agreed.

So Yingbao started to get busy. The two younger brothers are very well-behaved and don't make any fuss. As long as they can see their sister at a glance, they can sit quietly on the mat and play jigsaw puzzles for two hours.

After five days of drying in the hot sun, the golden ears were completely dry, and none of them became moldy or rotten.

It happened that Jiang Sanlang and his wife had also finished plowing the dry land and planting the seedlings.

Taking a day off, the three Jiang family brothers took the dried golden ears to the county town and sold all the golden ears.

This time, Jiang Sanlang sold eleven catties of gold ears and got 33 taels of silver.

Jiang Dalang's one hundred golden ears also sold for three catties and sold for nine taels of silver.

The same goes for Jiang Erlang's, earning nine taels.

Even the old man Jiang made a consistent eight.

The family came back from the county seat happily, and brought back a lot of cloth and daily necessities.

Now, the whole village knew that the Jiang family had made a lot of money selling golden ears.

Second Aunt Wang was the first to come to ask.

Her home is not far from Jiang Sanlang's house. In the past few days, she saw Jiang Sanlang's shop drying yellow mushrooms. Although she was curious, she just took a look.

Later, the three brothers of the Jiang family went to the county town with many baskets of yellow mushrooms, and when they came back, they brought back such a cartload of cloth and goods. The fool also knew that their family made a lot of money.

"Chun Niang, how do you grow those yellow mushrooms in your house? Can you give us some seeds?"

Second Aunt Wang smiled and pulled Chun Niang to ask questions.

Chun Niang smiled: "Yes, yes, but our seeds are very expensive, and they cost ten yuan per plant."

"What? Ten cents a plant? Why don't you go grab it!" Second Aunt Wang turned pale, turned around and left.

Chunniang didn't bother.

It would be a loss to give her ten cents a plant, wouldn't it be fragrant to grow it yourself?

Alas, if it wasn't for the fact that the bamboo shed couldn't fit, Saburo would have wanted to plant four or five hundred plants at a time.
