MTL - The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family-Chapter 27 Old Yan buys livestock for the village

  Chapter 27 Lao Yan buys livestock for the village

  Village Chief 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 entire 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 Lao Duo’s grain.

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

  I want to lie to myself that maybe it will rain in two days with God's grace, but I 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 guys harvested the wheat with all their strength, and after Yan Xiucai, they finished rushing to harvest one after another.

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

  On the only stone mill, Mr. Xiucai's wheat is being crushed.

  Every family waited anxiously, but no one stepped forward to urge them.

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

   Needless to say, who arrives first and who arrives last, everyone is watching.

  The family of Xiucai is followed by the family of the village head. Whoever makes the family have more men, then the brothers of the Qi family, whose family has less land, and then the family of Mrs. Wang. Although her family has only two sons, it can’t stand the ability of the daughter-in-law...

  Yan's second child has been squatting beside him, and no one pays attention to him.

   This popularity is also gone.

  He looked around boredly, looking at these 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 his eyes and wonder who was who.

   Far away, 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 are packed, I read all the books...they may ask you when they see our things and don't ask mother and me. "

   "Don't worry, I know what I know." Second Yan said.

   "Argh! You're here too!"

   "Ah, let's go play!"

   "Ah, come on, come on, I'll show you something nice."

  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 Er Ya 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's second son waited until his elder brother and his eldest nephew arrived.

   "Brother, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

  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 can'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 about 1,800. Our family is still a top-notch field, and the people around us are even worse."

  The weather has too much influence on the harvest of crops.

  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 Lao Er was squeezed out of the circle without accident.

  He heyed, turned half a circle and stuck to his brother's side.

  What are you talking about, I want to hear what you all 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 I 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, we can walk, and there is a cart at home, 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! It doesn't matter where we can go, alas! If it's not really worrying, the little old people don't want to leave, so as not to cause trouble to our children and grandchildren."

   "It's not cost-effective to prepare their chewing heads 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."

   "Village elders, 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, every mountain is close to the forest, there must be a source of water."

Yan Laoer said again: "My brother is a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't care who suffers from hardships. We are a village, and we have to hold together outside. If you have money, you can contribute money. My family only has these possessions. This money... I think Buying two mules is almost 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."

  A few village elders were so moved that they burst into tears. The family members thought that something had happened, 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 didn't want to suffer.

  Although he has done good deeds, Yan Huaiwen knows that he has selfishness, very selfishness.

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

   According to the agreement, Yan's second son paid the Qi family food.

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

   Wait until no one can see them anymore, then tell Sambo to drive automatically.

  Take out a cloth towel and wipe the girl's face and hands while asking her to drink water.

   "Look at the sweat you run, and you can't take a shower, it stinks!"

"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?"

   "Yes, 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 Er Er: "Your uncle pays for the old people in the village to buy animals for transportation. Please 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. He told the story bit by bit, so don’t be in a hurry to spray it after reading it.

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