Chapter 64 Little Nuobao wants to be an elder
When she woke up early, the Jiang family was very lively.
In order to settle Xiao Lanyi, Feng Jing and Feng Miao went to sleep in the west room and vacated the main east room for him.
Although Xiao Lanyi was born in a noble family, he was not arrogant at all. After waking up, he changed into Jiang Fengnian's coarse cloth jacket and insisted on helping Feng Shi to light a fire and cook.
Feng Shi didn't want to trouble him.
But seeing that it was his first time living in the countryside, he was excited, so he tried to let him help to heat the kang.
But she never thought that when she went out to take a look at Taoyuan Village, Xiao Lanyi was afraid that the fire would go out, so she stuffed all the firewood under the stove.
The kang in the west room was heated by him.
The little Nuobao was so scalded that he felt like he was in a frying pan. His throat was smoking when he was sleeping.
When Feng came back, she saw that the girl had woken up. She was barefoot and jumping on the kang pitifully. She felt her feet were burned wherever she went.
"It's so cold, it's hot! My feet are going to be burned into a pancake!" The little Nuobao was angry and was about to lie down on the kang and roll around.
As a result, he was startled by the heat again when he lay down.
He jumped up like a monkey in the sky.
Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He
hurriedly took the girl to the east room and quickly dismissed Xiao Lanyi's "burning officer".
Xiao Lanyi was still enjoying it.
After hearing that Xiao Nuobao had woken up, he was reluctant to put him down, and went into the east room to play with Xiao Nuobao.
Although Xiao Lanyi didn't know how this little baby could see his illness and save him from life and death.
But he already regarded Xiao Nuobao as a little "fortune teller".
Looking at Xiao Nuobao with a pouty face, Xiao Lanyi squinted her smiling eyes and teased her intentionally after getting on the kang.
"Nuobao, tell Brother Xiao, are you a fortune teller or a divination teller? Besides being able to see that I was sick that day, what else do you know?"
Xiao Nuobao scratched his scalded feet and snorted angrily: "You know, you can make pancakes!"
Make pancakes?
Xiao Lanyi was confused.
Xiao Nuobao directly put his feet in front of him and shook them again and again: "You burned my shit, you pay for it!"
After seeing the two slightly red ingot feet clearly, Xiao Lanyi immediately beat his chest and laughed.
This good boy is so cute. If he can give birth to such a girl in the future, his life will be perfect!
During breakfast, because Xiao Lanyi was there, Feng's family naturally prepared a very rich breakfast.
Corn and pork wontons were cooked, a plate of river shrimps were steamed, and eggs and sweet potatoes were stewed under the stove.
Li Qiqiao also fried a plate of fragrant and crispy steamed bread slices, coated them with sesame sauce and white sugar, and the
taste was fragrant. The family ate very heartily.
Especially Fengnian and Fenghu, they ate big mouthfuls of rice, obviously they were tired last night.
It was the first time for Xiao Lanyi to eat farm food. He felt that it was very different from the delicacies in the mansion. The food looked simple, but the taste was excellent.
The family gathered around the kang, not bound by rules, and could talk and laugh. He felt that it was a rare opportunity and his appetite was greatly opened.
Xiao Lanyi had a big appetite. He ate half a plate of fried steamed buns, two bowls of wontons, and finally drank the wonton soup. Although he was not full, he was too embarrassed to eat again.
Seeing that the guest was not picky and enjoyed everything, Mrs. Feng was happy to entertain him.
So she planned to kill two chickens and cook a meal for Mr. Xiao at noon, stewing their northern chicken with mushrooms.
After the meal, Mrs. Feng went to pack up the boxes of thank-you gifts.
Among them, there were more than 200 Chinese cabbages, all of which were good vegetables without any frostbite or black spots.
It happened that the family had not made sauerkraut this year, so Mrs. Feng smiled and planned to pickle them in the afternoon.
As for the five pigs, it was a bit difficult for Mrs. Feng.
Although they can be stored in cold weather, so many pigs cannot be eaten in one winter. If they are kept until the spring, they will go bad accidentally and it will be bad to waste the meat.
Mrs. Feng rubbed her eyebrows and felt a little funny. She could actually have such a happy trouble. Life was really good.
"How can we finish all the pork, mother?" Just at this time, Jiang Fengnian came over after catching the chicken and said with a smile.
Mrs. Feng thought about it.
Thinking about how many villagers outside the door saw Xiao Lanyi's thank-you gift yesterday.
In this case, why not do a favor and give some to the village so that others can share.
Just think of it as a way to thank everyone for helping build the house.
"Boss, we only need to keep the meat from two pigs. You can give the other three to the village chief and let him share with the villagers."
"It's almost the end of the year. If everyone is hungry, I'm afraid it won't be a good year."
"By the way, give some cabbage and two bags of rice and let the village chief distribute them."
Jiang Fengnian was not stingy and thought it was a good idea.
Otherwise, when the New Year comes, the fragrance of his own house will be everywhere, and the villagers will inevitably smell the dried food.
He called Jiang Fenghu, and the two brothers carried the things together and went to the village chief's house.
Before noon, the village chief had distributed all the rice, meat and vegetables, and brought Fengnian Fenghu and Yang Tianmei to deliver them door to door.
Each family could get ten catties of rice, three cabbages, and more than ten catties of pork.
The pork was in different parts, so in order to prevent everyone from feeling unbalanced, the village chief decided that whoever got ribs and elbow meat would get two catties less.
If someone happened to get a stick bone, they would get more.
When the villagers saw that the Jiang family was willing to let them share the food they had just received, their
eyes were almost wet with gratitude, and no one was picky about whether the pork they got was good or bad. They all accepted it happily, just to be happy for a good new year.
There were a total of thirty-two households in the village.
The village chief distributed to thirty households, leaving only Aunt Li's family and the eldest wife without a share.
"These two families didn't contribute at all to the riot this time. Even the old widower Wu Cuzi from the east of the village knew to help make a few wooden shields!"
"These two families are not in the same mind with our village, so they don't deserve to eat the food in the village." The village chief waved his hand, took the only remaining pig into the water, and went back home shaking his head.
During lunch, the village chief smacked the aroma of wine on his chopsticks and thought for a while.
All of us can see how much the Jiang family has done for the village these days.
Now that they are willing to provide food, he can't let the Jiang family suffer losses no matter what.
So in the afternoon, the village chief summoned the villagers to the school to discuss important matters.
"These two days, I have been thinking about it." The village chief stroked his beard and looked at everyone: "I am getting older, and there are some things in our village that I can't decide on my own. I have to rely on some villagers in our village. So, I plan to set up a village clan association in our village."
Village clan association?
Feng looked up hurriedly.
She knew this to some extent. In the Southern Dynasty, although the head of a village has the highest position, it is often unfair if the village head alone decides on all matters, so each village has established a village clan association.
In the north, clans are not popular, so the elders of the village clan association are the ones who have the most say in the village besides the village head.
Not only can they manage all matters in the village
, they can even punish villagers who violate the law.
At this time, the village chief glanced at the Feng family and raised his voice.
"In addition to me, the village clan association will select four more village elders. Let's select Old Zhang, Old Li, the Feng family, and Xiao Nuobao. Do you have any objections?"
