The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 27 Old Yan buys livestock for the village

Village head Luo hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past two days. This is not a matter of one family, but a major event of the whole village.

The bullock carts in Yan's courtyard can't be fake, and Yan's second son runs to the town every day, and they all see the real thing when they bring back the old grain.

The more prepared Mr. Xiucai is, the more panicked the villagers will be.

If you want to lie to yourself, maybe God will show mercy and it will rain in two days, but you can't.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the old well in the village can only produce half a bucket of water at a time.

The four buckets of water that village head Luo ordered for each family every day became one bucket of water.

The big guy harvested the wheat with all his strength, and after Yan Xiucai, he finished rushing to harvest one after another.

The wheat field in the village is full of wheat from each family.

The only stone mill is grinding Xiucai's wheat.

All families waited anxiously, but no one stepped forward to urge them.

The brothers of the Qi family worked tirelessly, they all saw it, and they wouldn't have done it faster otherwise.

Needless to say, who arrives first and who arrives later, all the families are staring at each other.

After Xiucai's family is the village head's family, who makes them have more males, then Qi's brothers, his family has less land, and then Aunt Wang's family. Although her family has only two sons, it can't stand the daughter-in-law's ability...

Yan Lao Er has been squatting beside him, and no one pays attention to him.

This popularity is also gone.

He looked around boredly, looking at the people in the village, at the wheat harvested by each family, and how many children were born in which family.

During the busy farming season, the whole family goes to battle together, which is convenient for him to recognize people.

When each family greeted each other, he wrote them down one by one, so as not to lose sight and wonder who was who.

From a distance, Yan Yu saw his father squatting pitifully by himself, as if isolated.

Yan Yuteng ran over and called him: "Father!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Yan Lao Er hurriedly stood up and caught her.

"Why are you here?"

"Uncle and brother are behind." Yan Yu whispered: "Father, uncle and brother's things have been packed, I read all the books...they may ask you if they saw our things and didn't ask mother and me. .”

"Don't worry, I know what's going on in my heart." Second Yan said.

"Ah! You're here too!"

"Ah, let's go play!"

"Erya, come quickly, show you something good."

Yan Yu gave her father a proud little expression.

Look, look, this is called contrast!

Yan Yu is quite popular in the children's circle.

She is more cheerful and knowledgable than Erya in the past, and she can also make various exaggerated little expressions when other children show off. She can weave straw rope with the little girl, and dig bugs with the brat. Every day, I mingle with the children in the village.

Yan Yu was dragged away by the children.

Yan Laoer waited until his elder brother and his eldest nephew arrived.

"Brother, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Although Yan Huaiwen has recovered from his illness, his body has not fully recovered. If he went out in the hot weather, something must have happened.

"How much wheat did our family harvest?" Yan Huaiwen only remembered the harvest in the field this year, which was not very good.

After paying the tax, I couldn't even make up half a year's rations.

"One mu of land is less than two hundred catties." Yan Lao Er said with a wrinkled face: "Our family's ten mu of land is only around 1,800. Our family is still a top-notch field, and other people's land is even worse."

Weather has a great influence on crop yields.

Yan Huaiwen's face was serious. The last time they went to Fucheng, but this time they had to go further.

Originally, I thought it would be enough to save the bulk of the food tax, but looking at it now, I am afraid that there is still a big gap.

"Mr. Xiucai!" Village head Luo and a group of villagers gathered around.

Yan Laoer was squeezed out of the circle without accident.

He let out a hey, turned half a circle and stuck to his brother's side.

I love you, I want to hear what you have to say.

Yan Xiangheng didn't look at his uncle, but after thinking about it, he also sneaked closer, stood behind his father and stood still, pricking up his ears.

"I have prepared some silver taels, and plan to buy two livestock for the elderly in the village." Yan Huaiwen took out the silver coins from his arms and handed them to the village chief.

"No way! This! How can the scholar be paid for it? We can walk, and there is a cart at home, so let the boys push it."

"Yes, Mr. Xiucai, how can we take advantage of you?"

"Great gracious scholar, but our old bones can't afford it! Wherever we can go, it counts! If it's not really worrying, the little old man doesn't want to leave, so as not to cause trouble to his children and grandchildren."

"It's not cost-effective to prepare their chews after adding animals. Let the boys in the family take turns to push us and give them more food, which is cheaper than raising animals."

"Everyone in the village, livestock can be used for transportation, and our journey will be faster. Moreover, if we really reach the end of the mountain, we can slaughter them and eat them." Yan Huaiwen said.

Yan Lao Er couldn't help interjecting: "Bring all the wheat stalks from each family, and you can light the fire for cooking and feed the livestock. As for the water, it's a little nervous in the early stage, but if we go fast, we can get out of this drought." Land boundary, where there is grass and water, everything will be fine.

There will always be nothing to find on the road. We got the letter first and walked for so many days. I don’t believe that we can’t find anything to eat.

Along the way, there are big mountains and forests, so let's stop and look carefully, there must be water. "

Yan Huaiwen glanced at him and said, "That's right, there must be a source of water near the mountains and forests."

Yan Laoer said again: "My brother is a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't care who suffers. We are a village, and we have to hold together outside. If we have money, we can contribute money. My family only has these possessions. This money... I Seeing that buying two mules is about the same, with two animals for transportation, we can go to the front, you will not suffer, and the boys in the family will suffer less tiredness."

Several village elders were so moved that they burst into tears, and the family members thought something was wrong, so they gathered around to ask.

After listening to the stories of the old men, everyone was very grateful.

Yan Huaiwen and the village elders set a departure time, and left with his son first.

Thank you so much for saving the villagers from surrounding him again.

He doesn't want to suffer.

Although he did good deeds, Yan Huaiwen knew that he had selfishness, very selfishness.

He wanted the people in the village to walk with him and gather together for peace.

According to the agreement, Yan Laoer paid the Qi family food.

Then he took his daughter who had been playing crazy for a long time and drove home in a bullock cart.

When no one can see them anymore, they tell Sambo to drive automatically.

He took out a cloth towel and wiped his daughter's face and hands while asking her to drink water.

"Look at the sweat you're running, and you can't take a shower, it stinks to death!"

"Dad, look, my little friend helped me find the worms. I feed them to the chickens. Maybe I can lay two more eggs." Yan Yu didn't care, and the little mouth kept talking: "You don't know that the little dog is looking for this worm. It’s not easy, he said he found it after digging several holes.”

"Is it the youngest son of Cui Langzhong's family?"

"Yeah, we even borrowed a donkey cart from his family. You don't know how much the little dog admires you. He thinks that Daddy's hoof repairing skills are so handsome, hahaha!"

Yan Laoer: "Your uncle paid for the old people in the village to buy livestock for transportation. Help me think about this matter."

He learned things from his daughter.

Lao Yan bought livestock for the village elders, and he had his own plan, so he told the story bit by bit, so don't be too quick to complain.

I went out of the house today, and the update is later than usual, and there will still be an update at night ( # ^.^ # )
