The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 96
Mai Xiang: "After the spring, I need a lot of fish fry to raise in the reservoir. You tell the villagers to go to the river to catch the fish fry. As long as they are alive, they want as much as they can. In terms of price, they will definitely not let Everyone is at a disadvantage! In this case, if you earn money, you can use it to buy food!"

The old patriarch nodded: "That's reasonable, Mai Xiang, you don't save the poor. No matter how much money you have, there is no reason to keep giving it to help everyone. After a long time, these people will develop the habit of stretching out their hands. The habit of asking for money. Even if you give me money, I will return it to you as soon as possible!"

Mai Xiang waved her hand: "Grandpa, we are relatives, so don't say such outrageous words. Don't pay back what I gave you before, and if I give it to you again in the future, it will be considered a loan! Everyone is a newcomer In the Northwest, people are poor and poor, and it is not easy to live a life without worrying about food and clothing. In the past, I treated my grandfather as my filial piety and did something for the clansmen!"

The old patriarch couldn't help but burst into tears: "Good boy, thank you grandpa! In the future, as long as you need help from grandpa, grandpa will definitely die!"

To be honest, if he really wanted to pay back the money Mai Xiang gave him in the past, he really couldn't afford it.Perhaps, when he left this world, he would not be able to pay it back.In the northwest, it is even more difficult to make money than in Liangjiaao. More than 2000 taels of silver, for him now, that is a huge sum of money!

Fortunately, the child was kind-hearted and offered not to return it.

Of course, if he has the ability to pay back in the future, he still has to pay back.As a human being, one should not be too shameless, at least one should have a sense of shame.However, if he really didn't have that ability, he would have no choice but to owe this favor.

If he is still unable to repay the money when he passes away from this world, then he will earnestly tell his descendants to remember Mai Xiang's great kindness.The money may not be repaid, but the kindness cannot be forgotten.

When Mai Xiang took her younger siblings back, the two baskets were also full, and almost every household gave more or less rice cakes.Although it is not much distributed to each household, it is still a heart.

Back in Luhua Bay, Chang's heart felt sour when she heard about the living conditions of the villagers in Zaozigou.At the same time, he couldn't help but rejoice and said: "Our family is fortunate to have a promising Mai Xiang, otherwise, we must be living a hard life without eating three meals."

In today's Zaozigou, there is Mai Xiang to help. Without Mai Xiang's help, many people might starve to death and freeze to death.Just thinking about this kind of hard life makes Chang's heart ache.

In the past few years, the family has no worries about food and drink, and is used to this kind of happy life.If she went back to live the hard life without rice, to be honest, she might not be able to bear it.

Chang couldn't help sighing: "Oh, if it's spring and there is no food, how can we live? Although there are wild vegetables, they are all wild vegetables. If they are harvested in summer, will people starve to death? ?”

Mai Xiang said: "Grandma, when the spring comes, I will buy two thousand catties of grain and send it to the people in Zaozigou. At that time, I will let it go down by human hair. Cook porridge with wild vegetables and grain, and you will be able to get through that." It's been a while!"

Chang couldn't help crying: "Mai Xiang, good boy, you have a conscience. It's really a blessing for everyone in the old Liang family to have such a good boy like you!"

She has lived in Liangjia'ao for decades, and her relationship with those folks has always been very good, and there are only a few people who have a bad relationship.Moreover, this time with the Northwest, there is no one who has a bad relationship with her.Those few who had a bad relationship became tenants of Liang Gaokao's family.

Mai Xiang: "Grandma, don't be sad, I won't ignore it. After all, I'm also from the old Liang's family, how could I stand by and watch? It's spring, and our family will also hire some long-term workers. When the time comes, You can choose a few hard-working people from Zaozigou. As for the wages, you can give them a little more, it can be regarded as a kind of support!"

There are so many fields in the family that need to be reclaimed, and people must be hired, and the family cannot be busy anyway.Moreover, she didn't want her family to be too tired.

Liang Gaoshan: "Mai Xiang, my family has [-] acres of land, and now [-] acres have been reclaimed. What are you planning to plant on these fields?"

Now, Liang Gaoshan is very used to discussing everything with his daughter.

Mai Xiang said, "Father, let's use the [-] mu near the mountain as a pasture! I suggest building a pasture to raise fifty or sixty cattle, a hundred or so lambs, and a hundred or so lambs. A dozen or so chickens. Otherwise, how many people will be hired to cultivate so many fields? Moreover, there is a shortage of cattle in the Northwest today. If you raise cattle, the future must be bright!"

Liang Gaoshan nodded: "Well, that's a good idea! The land near the mountains is very thin, so it's good to grow alfalfa and raise cattle! That is, are the alfalfa seeds we brought enough?"

Mai Xiang said: "That's enough, Daddy don't worry!"

"Okay, you've said enough, dad can rest assured!" Liang Gaoshan was actually a little puzzled, where did the daughter go to collect the alfalfa seeds?Where did she put the alfalfa seeds when she escaped from the flood?

What he didn't know was that Maixiang had a magical space. Every year when the alfalfa seeds matured, Maixiang would go to the mountains to collect a lot and put them in the space.Moreover, in the space, Mai Xiang also planted a lot of alfalfa, vegetables, fruits, and corn.

Today, the corn in the space is almost full of a small warehouse.Alfalfa seeds, accumulated five or six sacks.For a field of one hundred acres, these seeds should be enough.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mai Xiang drove the freight carriage alone and went outside for a day.when you come back.Brought back a cart full of corn on the cob.

These corn cobs were taken out of the small warehouse in the space.

Liang Gaoshan was shocked: "Mai Xiang, where did you get so many corn cobs?"

Mai Xiang: "I wandered around and bought them from a farmer. By the way, I think the quality of these corn cobs is very good. Use these corn cobs to grind the cornmeal that the family eats! The grain stored at home will wait for the spring Let’s send it to the folks in Zaozigou!”

The ones produced in space have higher vitamin and fiber content.Such a good thing must be eaten by the family.Moreover, if it is given to outsiders to eat, it will arouse the attention and suspicion of outsiders, which is not good.

Because of this, when Mai Xiang gave New Year gifts, she only gave five apples to each household.Five apples can be eaten by one person, and eating one apple will not have much effect.At most, it's just a little physical improvement.

In other words, the apple tree in space already exists.The content of vitamins and fiber is very high.Corn is a seed that came in from the outside, and it was later planted by Maixiang. The content of vitamins and dietary fiber is definitely not as good as that of apples.However, I can't bear to eat three meals a day, and if I accumulate it day by day, the effect will be great.

When she was in her hometown, Mai Xiang often took out some corn from the space and mixed it into the corn pile in the granary at home.Since two years ago, the cornmeal that the family eats is actually mixed with corn from the space.

Today, Mai Xiang's family is in good health, and they don't even have a cold or cold all year round.Grandma Chang's old cold legs also miraculously improved a lot. Although there was no cure, her condition improved a lot.

Liang Gaoshan vaguely knew that his daughter Mai Xiang was somewhat mysterious, that is to say, she had some unknown secrets.He didn't break the casserole to ask the end, since his daughter didn't say anything, there was a reason not to say it.

The next day, she went out for another day and brought back a large cart of corn cobs.

Liang Gaoshan had no choice but to vacate a guest room for these corn cobs.Because, Mai Xiang said, she has to go out tomorrow, and then she will bring back several hundred catties of apples.Mai Xiang also said, tell him to keep quiet.

Mai Xiang's family lives in the east of the village. If you don't say anything, it's freezing and everyone is hiding at home. Few people in the village know about it.

Sure enough, Mai Xiang brought back several large bags of apples.

Large guest room filled with half a house of corn and apples,

Liang Gaoshan said, "Mai Xiang, there are so many apples, I'll give you some to Uncle Tian Sheng and Uncle Mao Lin's, okay?"

Mai Xiang nodded: "Well, give it! Give the family about twenty! The village chief will also give about ten!"

Liang Gaoshan worried again: "Mai Xiang, so many corns, will they go bad?"

Mai Xiang: "No, the quality of these corns is very good, and they are well kept! As long as they don't get rained, they will be stored for the first half of the year, and there will be no problem at all!"

She has done experiments on the corn produced in the space, and even if it is stored outside the space, it has a shelf life of half a year.Unlike the corn grown outside, if it is piled up in the house like this, it will become moldy within a month.

Mrs. Chang interjected: "If you are afraid that it will break, hurry up and get the stone mill back tomorrow, and grind the corn into flour to make steamed buns."

Liang Gaoshan: "I can't take the custom-made stone mill home yet, and it will take a few days to make it. Tomorrow, I will call Shang Tiansheng and Maolin to go to the big stone mill in the village to grind flour!"

Mai Xiang: "Daddy, I only went to the military camp on the eighth day of the eighth day. I will go to grind with you these few days! By the way, let's call Shangbanxia and Licorice."

Brothers and sisters can't act like young masters and misses, doing nothing.My family's starting point is low, and the two younger sisters will naturally not be able to go home to a wealthy family in the future.In that case, it must be very hard.Mai Xiang's meaning is to find a well-off family, marry a simple and honest man, and live a happy and ordinary life.That's fine.

I believe that with her support, Licorice and Poria's in-laws would not dare to bully them.In this way, it is much better than marrying a wealthy family and living a hard life of intrigue.

Pinellia and Licorice hurriedly said, "Well, I'm going to grind the flour too!"

Fu Ling also came to join in the fun: "I'll go too, so that everyone won't be so tired!"

Mai Xiang waved her hand: "You go and be your female celebrity, is the riding outfit I want ready?"

She gave Fu Ling some fabric and asked her to make a riding suit for herself, specially for learning how to ride a horse.As a general, if you don't know how to ride a horse, it really doesn't make sense.Fuling's female red is very good, especially good at sewing, and Licorice is better at cutting. Licorice has cut the fabric, so let Fuling sew.

Fu Ling said: "It's almost done, it can be done tomorrow!"

He didn't make a fuss about going to the mill anymore, and hurried back to his bedroom to make clothes.In fact, she just wanted to stay with the eldest sister for a while longer. For some reason, staying with the eldest sister made her feel very at ease.
