My village can't be like this

Chapter 18

In busy days, time always passes quickly.

Finally, everyone took the crops home, and after they were dried, it was time to pay the public grain again.

Every September in the lunar calendar is the time when Hongyan Town pays grain in a concentrated manner. It is also at this time that everyone harvests and dries the grain.

The three members of Zhang An's family were handed in according to the proportion of paddy fields, and each person had to pay 150 catties of rice.

Fortunately, there are horses this year, so it is not so difficult to carry them to the town.

Zhang An followed his father Zhang Jianguo to take the big horse loaded with food and set off for the town.

Along the way, I saw many people walking towards the town.

Some of them were brought together by horse-drawn carts, and some of them were carried by oxen and horses like Zhang An's family.

Most of them were carried on poles, and a few people were seen to be pushed by rooster carts.

The rooster cart is a wheelbarrow, and this guy is very popular with everyone.

But when going up and down big slopes, it's a bit of a pain.

Walking to Shiyakou, you can already see that the road construction team has dug the road here.

From the old road, you can directly walk into the newly repaired main road.

Zhang An has seen many four-lane roads before, but this is the first one in the mountains of this era.

The top has been paved with asphalt, and everyone is talking and laughing, and you can walk on the main road for the market in the future.

When we arrived in the town, the place where the grain was delivered was at the grain station.

In order to provide grain every year, the grain station has built a large cement dam, which can accommodate many people.

Due to the long distance, there are already a lot of people lined up at the grain station, and Zhang An and his son can only line up at the back.

When it was almost noon, it was finally the turn of Zhang An's family.

The father and son unloaded the four big sacks of rice on the horse's back and checked it for the people at the grain station, and put the rice on the scale if there was no problem.

In the end, there were more than ten catties more. This was because I was afraid that the quantity would be poor when the scale came, so I filled some more. After all, the scale may have errors, um, that’s how it is.

After finally taking the receipt, the father and son walked out of the grain station.

I have been waiting for a long time, and it is already past twelve noon.

Originally, they wanted to rush back to eat, but Zhang Jianguo was fooled by Zhang An, and the two ate a meal of rice noodles on the street.

Of course, Zhang An paid the money in the end, and now Zhang An can be regarded as a person with a small fortune.

This made Zhang Jianguo quite envious, because Wang Fang was a housekeeper and had a criminal record when he was young, so Wang Fang seldom put money into Zhang Jianguo's hands.

But in terms of business, Wang Fang has never been sloppy, and she has given face to her men outside.

That's why the two haven't had red eyes for so many years.

Seeing his father staring at his pocket, Zhang An generously drew 20 yuan and handed it to his father as private money.

The main reason is that he didn't dare to give more, if his old man went to play cards again, there would be trouble in the family.

He also kept telling his father that he can use it for shopping and eating, but don't use it for playing cards or mahjong, or he will be gone next time.

As soon as Zhang Jianguo heard Zhang An said there would be another time, he immediately said that he had quit these bad habits long ago, and blamed Wang Fang for talking nonsense in front of the children.

Zhang An didn't refute, but just smirked. This was to say a few tough words to find a place. If it was in front of his mother, he would definitely not dare to say it.

The father and son, who were about to go home, met Zhou Lan at the intersection.

Zhou Lan also saw Zhang An, so they greeted him from a long distance away.

He kept saying that the fruit Zhang An sold last time was delicious.

Zhang An also chatted with Zhou Lan and introduced the father next to him.

"Are Xiao An and Uncle here to deliver food today?" Looking at the two leading the horse, and because of the food supply day in the town, the streets became more lively than usual.

"That's right, I came here in the morning. I've been queuing up to now, and I'm ready to go home."

"Come and sit at my house for a while, I just want to ask you for help with something."

Zhou Lan seemed to be really busy, but it was inconvenient for Zhang An to go to other people's houses while he was leading the horse.

"Sister Lan, we are also acquaintances. If you have anything to say, just tell me. It's not convenient for me to go to your house with the animals like this. I'll come back next time."

It turned out that Zhou Lan's parents came to Hongyan Town, but Lao Zhou likes to eat some food from the mountains, and Zhou Lan and his wife must satisfy their old man.

Sure enough, why not eat minced meat. Many people in the mountains are still working hard to have enough food. People have already started to pick and choose, and they have to eat mountain delicacies.Zhang An can only say to himself, boy, work hard, there is still a long way to go
There is no market at this time, and I have no contact with this aspect, and there is no place to buy it. If I can’t find it, I can only go to the countryside to receive the goods.

I happened to meet Zhang An when I came out today, so I told him about it, and asked Zhang An if he could do me a favor and get some mountain goods.

"It doesn't have to be too good. The pheasant in the mountains and the fish from the hare are fine, and it doesn't have to be too hard to catch."

Zhang An thought for a while, and seeing his old man winking at him, he agreed.

And the fine-scaled fish in his own space must meet the requirements of the other party. If it is not possible, he can just grab two silver chickens and give them to the other party. The number of silver chickens in the space has already bred a bit too much. Zhang An wants to find a chance to release some in the mountains. Go and give back to nature.

"Okay, Sister Lan, my brother has taken care of this matter for you, and I will find a way for you to solve it in the past two days, do you think it will work?"

Zhou Lan was also very happy to hear that Zhang An agreed. If Zhang An agreed, then he didn't have to collect it by himself. He was really an outsider in this matter.

"Then trouble Xiao An, no matter how much we can get, we will take it, so don't worry about it."

"It's nothing. Sister Lan, you are busy. Let's go back first."

In the end, Zhou Lan left Zhang An's home phone number and asked Zhang An's home address, saying that as long as they had the goods, they could drive to the countryside to get them.

On the way home, Zhang An told his father what he and Zhou Lan knew, and introduced the situation of Zhou Lan's family.

"Well, in the evening, I'll go to the mountain to set a few traps to see if I can catch something. You can go to the river to get some fish. You can't let go of the money, but don't give it all to your mother when the time comes. Let us keep some for ourselves. "

Because Zhang An often brought fish home during this period, Zhang Jianguo felt that his son was good at catching fish.

But he didn't expect that Zhang An's fish were all in space.

But this does not affect Zhang An's ability to get fish.

The more Zhang Jianguo thought about it, the happier he became, as if he was about to get the money.

Back home, Wang Fang cooked a meal and waited for the two of them to go back to eat. Unexpectedly, the two of them spent money on food on the street. This approach was a waste.

Just when she was about to start nagging the two of them, Zhang An said something about Zhou Lan, and Wang Fang stopped talking about the father and son, and kept urging Zhang Jianguo to go to the mountain to get out of the trap.

Originally, Zhang An was also urged, but Zhang An said that it would be better to get off the net at night, and no one saw it.

Wang Fang trusted what her son said, so she let Zhang An arrange it herself.

After Zhang Jianguo found something to set him off, the father and son walked into the mountains.

But because of everyone's hunting for so many years, there is actually nothing to be caught outside the back mountain, and even the hares are no longer active around the outside.

So if you want to catch things, you have to go into the mountains, where there are still many animals, wild boars and deer can be found.

Zhang An also wanted to follow his father for a while and learn some tricks and tricks.

And when the time comes, I will secretly use the space spring water to cheat my father, and the probability of catching something should be much higher.

　If you have a recommendation ticket, you can vote for it. Anyway, if you don’t vote, it will expire tomorrow. Thank you very much! ! !
