Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Lin told her husband the number her daughter had just calculated for her, and Li Erlang was also shocked.
Looking at her parents in disbelief, Li Yan explained, "This is based on the data that Doctor Zhou told me. Whether we can actually earn that much is still unknown. In addition, we also have to compensate the villagers for their wages. I was worried that Lin might let it slip, so she told us not to tell anyone, like a grown-up."
The couple were not stupid people, so they naturally took note of it in their hearts!
The next day, everyone started climbing the mountain at dawn and did not go down until sunset.
Some people would bring some dry food from home to fill their stomachs throughout the day, but most people would basically work all day on an empty stomach.
When Li Yan brought food to her family and saw everyone like this, she returned home and discussed with Lin to steam more multi-grain buns every day. Born in modern times, she really couldn't bear to see others working for her family on an empty stomach.
Mrs. Lin was not a mean person, so she agreed to her daughter's request.
On the third day, when delivering food to the mountain, I prepared multi-grain steamed buns for everyone, and also brought some hot water with a little sugar in it to replenish everyone's energy.
When Li Yan came to the mountain with a basket of steamed buns on her back, she called everyone to come and get the buns.
Everyone felt very comfortable. Although they usually only had two meals a day at home and were used to this kind of schedule, they were indeed hungry after a busy day.
Li Yan gave each person a large mixed flour steamed bun and a bowl of sweet water.
Everyone quickly finished their steamed buns with the sugar water and without much rest, they returned to their work in the fields. Most of the villagers who came to help were very simple and hardworking. Li Yan had been deeply impressed by the villagers' tireless work these past few days.
Madam Liu took the steamed bun given by Li Yan and put it directly into her arms. She just drank a bowl of sugar water and then went back to the fields.
Li Yan understood her intention. She just couldn't bear to eat it, so she took it back to give to her own son Qi Jin.
Although Li Yan gave a multi-grain steamed bun, this bun was as big as two steamed buns. Li Yan also added sugar, so it tasted sweet.
It seemed to Li Yan that many of the women who helped only drank the sugar water and were reluctant to eat the steamed buns.
Seeing the villagers like this, Li Yan felt both distressed and helpless.
Just for delivering steamed buns and sweet soup every day, she had already suffered many cold stares and naggings from Wu.
Knowing that her abilities are limited, Li Yan can only do this!
After being busy for half a month, Lin Feng arrived at Lijia Village in the evening driving a horse-drawn carriage. Although the carriage looked a bit old, it still alarmed many people when it appeared in Lijia Village.
The little child, barefoot and giggling, followed the carriage, looking at the spacious carriage curiously.
The carriage stopped in front of Li Erlang's house. Lin Feng jumped off the carriage nimbly, tied the horse and went to Li Erlang's house.
When the children saw the carriage stop, they came forward curiously, touching this and looking at that.
The brave ones even climbed onto the carriage frame, but were seen by the adults in the village and scolded and carried off the carriage.
The lively scene outside was completely blocked by the courtyard wall.
Li Yan was drying forsythia at home at the time. When she saw her uncle come in, she hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle, you're here. I've prepared 500 kilograms of cooked forsythia. Take these and try it out first!"
"Where is it? Take me there quickly, I have to go back as soon as I get the things!"
Li Yan brought Lin Feng to the side room, and the bamboo basket was filled with prepared medicinal herbs.
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, returned to the carriage, took a few sacks, filled them with the medicinal herbs from his home, and carried them back to the carriage one by one.
