Chapter 22 The whole village will die
If it were any other time, Feng Jing and Feng Miao would have burned down Auntie Li's haystack after hearing this.
But now they were too lazy to care.
After all, Auntie Li would only be able to gossip when she was full, unlike them, who had rice and bacon to chew every meal!
Since she had some spare money, Feng would buy some meat buns and snacks every now and then for the whole family to enjoy.
She was a cautious person, and she would always bring a broken basket with a few pairs of shoe soles when she went out.
Whenever anyone asked, she would just say that she was going to the city to sell them to supplement the family income, and no one suspected it.
Only occasionally, when Auntie Li smelled meat, she would complain at home, "I wonder which family is so rich that they are stewing meat again. Who are they trying to starve to death?"
In this year of famine, the Jiang family made money quietly. They did not compete or show off, and the family lived a stable and happy life.
Time flies, and it has been almost two months since Xiao Nuobao came home.
Feng and his family took good care of her. Xiao Nuobao was fatter and plump, and her little fat trembled when she ran.
Her originally weak intestines and stomach were also nourished, and now she can eat half a bowl of rice every meal.
Her hair has grown two inches longer and hangs sparsely behind her ears.
Mrs. Feng held the girl in her arms and kissed her affectionately: "Children's hair grows fast. In half a month, mother will be able to put small hair in your hair."
When little Nuobao heard this, her eyes lit up like two big pearls.
She was also a vain little girl.
"Yes, I want hair in my hair. Nuobao wants small hair in my hair!" Little Nuobao buried her head in her mother's arms and giggled like a little flower...
...
In the morning, the house was always very noisy, and everyone wanted to revolve around Nuobao.
There was a sound of ding-dong from the outer room. It was Mrs. Feng who was cracking eggs with a basin again and started to make a small stove for the girl.
Li Qiqiao was also "not to be outdone".
Carrying Chun Ge'er who was still snoring on her back, she only cared about making pancakes for her sister-in-law.
Roll the fermented dough into an oval, add some beaten eggs, and the pancakes are soft and fluffy. Spread strawberry jam on it, and the smell is sweet and fragrant, which makes Chun Ge'er drool.
In the inner room, Feng Jing and Feng Miao were also squeezing, trying to be the first to change the diaper and dress their sister.
Seeing the whole family surrounding the sister-in-law, and thinking about the things Han Shang gave, Sun Chunxue had no choice but to bite the bullet and give a big smile to Nuobao who just woke up in order not to be left behind.
Little Nuobao thought her smile was uglier than crying. He
quickly covered his eyes with his little hands and lay back on the mattress.
I woke up so fast, I saw a ghost so early in the morning... The sister-in-law also began to show her courtesy.
Mrs. Feng was afraid that the girl would be frightened, so she came over to scare Sun Chunxue away and said, "Don't do this. It gives me goose bumps just by looking at it. Go to the outer room and bring the table. It's time for our Nuobao to get up and eat."
Little Nuobao didn't have a big appetite. He only ate half a bowl of egg custard, two pieces of soft roasted meat, a small dish of shrimp and seaweed soup, and a few small biscuits, and then he couldn't eat any more.
Mrs. Feng threw the remaining biscuits to her son, and Fengmiao picked them up and ate them happily.
"My girl, I'm going to take you out for a walk to help you digest your food?" Mrs. Feng was about to ask.
At this time, Jiang Fengnian hurried back from outside. As soon as he entered the house, he said, "Mom, the village chief uncle is going to hold a meeting at the mill. His daughter is asking us to hurry up!"
The autumn harvest had already passed, and the days were quiet. There were few collective matters in Daliu Village.
When Feng heard this, she thought it was not a small matter, so she put tiger-head shoes on her daughter and carried her to the village entrance.
When the mother and daughter arrived, many villagers had already gathered at the big millstone in the village, chatting in groups of two or three.
After every household had sent representatives and everyone had arrived, the village chief took a small pony and sat in front with a rosy face.
"Uncle village chief, what's the matter? Call us all here. I have to go back to heat the kang for my mother-in-law."
"Except for the autumn harvest, our village rarely has such a big fight. What's going on, village chief?" Some villagers were already curious.
The village chief stroked his gray beard and couldn't help laughing: "Villagers, don't worry. Good food is not afraid of being late. The reason why you have been waiting for so long is because our village is going to make a fortune!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited.
Feng also raised her ears and listened carefully.
The village chief stood up and continued with a red face and smile: "I was delivering vegetables in the city. Recently, I got to know a wealthy family, Mr. Ma who runs a pawnshop. Due to changes in his family, he needed to move the ancestral tomb in the village, but he hadn't found a suitable location."
"He happened to meet me a few days ago and said that he had asked someone to calculate. There is a sunken land in our Daliu Village, which is just suitable for relocating his family's tomb."
The village chief rubbed his hands excitedly: "Mr. Ma said that as long as our village allows him to move the ancestral tomb here, he will give three taels of silver to each of the 38 households in our village, and he will also help us plead with the government to reduce taxes by 10% in the next three years."
After hearing this, the villagers were immediately moved and their eyes were wide open.
"What? For a piece of vacant land that no one uses, a family can get three taels of silver?"
"This old man Ma is really generous."
"Three taels... this is three taels. My family's harvest is not good this year. We can't even sell three taels of grain. I'm willing to do this!"
"Uncle village chief, my family is willing too!"
Anyway, the land was too low to grow crops, and they had nothing to do there anyway. The villagers were all excited and busy shouting their happiness.
The village chief nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay, this is good for our village. After getting the money, I, Old Yang, will never embezzle a penny. I will definitely give you the full amount. We can live more comfortably and have a prosperous winter."
In the end, he was afraid that this lucrative job would slip away, so for the sake of the villagers, he hurried to agree to Master Ma.
However, just as the village chief was about to tighten the reins, Xiao Nuobao suddenly raised her head and shuddered in Feng's arms.
Her palm-sized face turned pale for a moment.
Then she hurriedly said in a hoarse voice: "It's not generous, it's not generous to let them relocate!"
"Otherwise, everyone in our village will die!" Xiao Nuobao's eyes were red.
When the village chief's car started, she saw that the whole village was shrouded in a deathly aura.
The deathly aura was heavier than ink and pressed on her fiercely. This was a sign of disaster!
