Chapter 276 Sending Wencai Away
After this incident, everyone praised the kindness of the Jiang family.
Not to mention the distant villages, just the Xishan Village family, they were so grateful.
Originally, they were still worried about selling grain. After all, farmers were weak. If they could not work together, no matter which grain seller they found, they would become lamb sent into the tiger's mouth.
The quality and price of the grain were determined by the grain seller.
Now that they can borrow the light of the Jiang family and work together with everyone, the troubles of Xishan Village are gone. When everyone pulled the grain over, their white teeth were exposed in the sun.
It was the Cai family who was unlucky. They were only complained by their own villagers.
Now, her family's "reputation" is known in the whole village, and even the matchmaker who proposed marriage to Li Qimei was persuaded to withdraw.
This matter has become a joke for the Jiang family. Li Qiqiao and Sun Chunxue sat by the door and picked kidney beans, and they made faces and joked about it.
Feng kneaded the dough and shook her head, saying, "I didn't really want to care about it, but her mother and mother came to show off. I thought I was being smart, but it turned out to be a punishment for myself." After
that, Feng chopped the ribs again so that she could make a "ribs quilt" at noon. After eating, she had to send Feng Jing back to the academy.
The north is now peaceful, and the city is full of joy. Wei's academy will also resume its studies.
Although Dean Wei was reluctant to give up his leisure time, he had to take Fengjing back to the city to teach and do serious business.
At this moment, Jiang Fengjing was lying on the table, thinking about making a small painting for his sister before leaving home.
Looking at the rice paper book, the painting he finished today was a little silly girl holding her toes and chewing them madly.
Dean Wei and Xiao Lanyi couldn't help but clap their hands and laugh, and they guessed that when little Nuobao was lying in bed this morning, she must have secretly chewed her feet again, and was seen by her fourth brother.
Little Fengmiao laughed a little too much, and wanted to go to Nuobao to complain, but he accidentally tripped on the door sill and almost fell and cut his mouth.
Seeing that he was groaning in pain, Feng picked him up and kicked him in the butt.
"Can't you watch your way? You're the most naughty one day. If you really fall and become a rabbit mouth, your sister will not recognize you because you are so ugly. You will cry when the time comes!"
Hearing his mother scolding his fifth brother, Xiao Nuobao hurried over with his short legs to "besiege Wei to save Zhao".
She shook the corner of Feng's clothes and pouted towards the backyard, "Oh, mother, it's bad. Erguoguo crushed the eggs in the nest when he was feeding the chickens just now!"
When Feng heard this, she didn't care about training Feng Miao anymore. She was so angry that she picked up the rolling pin and rushed out.
"I was wondering why the number of eggs was not correct these few days. It turned out that your second brother had cheated on them. He even dared to hide it from me!"
Soon, there was a commotion in the backyard.
The rolling pin whistled, and Jiang Fenghu howled, causing Dean Wei and Xiao Lanyi to laugh until they had stomachaches.
Little Nuobao bared his little white teeth, and ran to peek with his little waist. Soon, he and Feng Miao laughed so hard that they fell backwards, and the chuckles lasted for a long time.
This family always lives such a vivid life. Dean Wei couldn't help but sigh after laughing, and he was very envious and yearning in his heart.
When Feng came back, exhausted and sweating, little Nuobao raised his little round face, hugged her thighs and asked what to eat for lunch.
"The food in Zhangjia Village was sold out this morning, and Zhang Fanjian brought a fan of ribs to thank our family. Mother made a rib quilt for you, and cooked one dish in one pot, so we didn't even have to worry about dry food." Feng wiped her hair and said.
"Pork ribs covered with a quilt?" Little Nuobao blinked curiously, "Why do pork ribs need to be covered with a quilt!"
Little Fengmiao was wandering around the stove, looking for the quilt everywhere, "Ah? Mom, where is the quilt? Why don't I see any quilt!"
Feng was so angry that she squinted her eyes and almost raised the rolling pin again, "You silly boy, go get the basin quickly, don't mess around here, you'll know when mom is done."
Looking at her second brother who was covering his butt outside, Fengmiao didn't dare to show off anymore, and quickly picked up her sister and went into the inner room to wait for dinner.
This so-called pork ribs covered with a quilt is a way of eating that Feng heard from Qin Bu Tong.
Anyway, it's just to cover the pork ribs and beans in the pot with the thin pancake and stew them together.
When the pot was taken out, the ribs were stewed until soft and delicious, and the cakes on top were soaked in meat soup, so they were very tasty.
As expected, before the ribs were served, the fragrance had already filled the room, making everyone drool.
At the dinner table, everyone was eating with great pleasure.
Especially Dean Wei, he wanted to bury his face in the bowl, after all, the cook of the academy didn't have such skills.
He could only eat more now, so that if he wanted to eat it after returning, he could slowly savor it.
After a lunch, Jiang Fengnian drove the carriage to send Feng Jing and Dean Wei back to the city.
Not long after, someone from the government office came and said that the silver reward granted to Daliu Village by the imperial edict had been paid out from the government treasury.
The villagers were naturally beaming with joy, because this was a full three hundred taels!
If it was distributed equally to each person, each family would get about ten taels, which was more than the annual harvest!
After getting the silver, everyone felt like they were walking on cotton, and they were so happy that they were dizzy.
What's more, some people couldn't hide their good fortune and wanted to show off to people from other villages.
The village chief couldn't help but stare at them, "What are you doing? A dog can't hold two taels of sesame oil. Aren't you afraid that your uncles, aunts, and cousins will come to borrow it?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but clap their hands and laugh.
That's true. Their village was already eye-catching because of the exemption of autumn taxes. If they showed off the silver reward everywhere, they would really be remembered.
With the village chief keeping watch, everyone became much more obedient, so they chatted and laughed again, and also talked about some gossips they heard during the past two days of selling grain.
The village chief didn't care about gossip, and pulled Feng to talk about the story of Yin'er and his sister.
"Thanks to your family for finding Doctor Wu, Wencai's lame leg was at least reattached. The child has already lost an arm, and if he even has difficulty walking, it will be very difficult for him in the future." The village chief sighed uncomfortably.
In fact, since returning to the village, the villagers rarely saw Wencai go out.
The village chief was worried that the child was probably upset, so he didn't want to see anyone.
Feng had thought about this matter.
Fortunately, Dean Wei had said a few days ago that he wanted to invite Wencai to attend the academy and would not ask for any tuition.
Mrs. Feng comforted the village chief, "Not only is there Dean Wei, but two days ago, when Qin Bu Tong came here, he also mentioned Wencai, and said that Wencai can read and do arithmetic. When he grows up a little, Qin Caiju is willing to invite him to help in the accounting office."
"This child loves to study. Now that his studies are settled, he also has a future prospect at Qin Caiju. He will definitely live a good life." Mrs. Feng had a plan.
The village head breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands in excitement, "What a good thing! With the help of Dean Wei and Boss Qin, if our village works together and can take care of this child, we won't be afraid that he will have no future!"
Zhang Xiucai heard this and quickly interrupted, "I have also thought about it for literary talents, but if it doesn't work, come to the school when you grow up and teach children with me!"
Anyway, teaching and educating people does not require arms.
Zhang Xiucai was lame and could teach, so why couldn't Li Wencai.
The village chief clenched his fists and his eyes turned red again, "Yes, as long as we work together as a team, no matter whether they are talented people or others are in trouble in the future, the village will be able to take care of them for the rest of their lives!"
These words were heart-warming, and Ms. Feng felt very confident, but at this moment, Li Yin'er suddenly came over and poured cold water on everyone.
"Thank you all for your concern for Wencai."
"But I have already made up my mind. I will send Wencai away tomorrow. We have a cousin in Qingshui Village. From now on, he will live with his cousin." Li Yiner raised her curtains and spoke softly.
Feng and the village chief were startled and shocked.
Sending Wencai away? Why...
